Chapter 558: Three Humans and Four Ghosts
The originally quiet and peaceful atmosphere was broken at this moment, and the knock on the door came very abruptly, which caught the two people in the room off guard, whether it was Xu Guodong or Lin Juan, they didn't expect that it was already the middle of the night, and someone would come to their house.
And at this time, there was a knock on the door!
The voice echoed in his ears, and the heart he had just put down was lifted up for a while, Xu Guodong was frightened by this knock on the door, and he held the yellow talisman folded into a triangle tightly in his hand, and his heart was beating wildly!
"It's so late, who's coming?"
Lin Juan's voice was still gentle, without the slightest fear, but with a little curiosity.
Xu Guodong's heart that had just become nervous was put down again, and he couldn't help but mock himself in his heart: "Xu Guodong, Xu Guodong, you are a man, why is this courage not as big as Lin Juan?" ”
"Juan, you stay here first, I'll take a look."
Casually holding the yellow talisman on his body, Xu Guodong put on his clothes and was about to go down to open the door.
But as soon as he sat up, he was grabbed by Lin Juan.
"Guodong, let's go together, it's too dark, it's not good for you to go alone."
Lin Juan is always so gentle, always so understanding, and even knows that Xu Guodong will be afraid, she is a really good wife to Xu Guodong.
"It's okay, wife, I'm a little timid, but I'll definitely protect you."
The donkey's lips did not respond to the horse's mouth, but he said what Xu Guodong said in his heart, he would use everything he had to protect this family and protect these two extremely important women in his life.
"Well, I know, light the lights first, and I'll accompany you."
Lin Juan smiled and nodded, a little flame lit up in the darkness, illuminating her pretty face, and she was extremely beautiful at this moment.
"Sting"
The match struck an arc of light, cutting through the dark space of the room, and black smoke rose from the kerosene lamp, and the room finally came to light.
Closing the glass lid, the light became brighter and brighter, Lin Juan had already sat up, standing aside with a dress draped, holding a kerosene lamp in her hand, at this time she was the center of Xu Guodong's entire world, and the only light in his world.
He also put on his shoes, got off the ground, gently pulled Lin Juan and the two glanced at each other, and walked towards the door.
The child on the kang was still asleep, the corners of his mouth were hooked up in a shallow arc, and his hands were gently raised, forming claws, as if he had done something interesting in a dream.
The knocking continued, not loud, but unusually clear in the rain.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock..."
Every once in a while, there would be a series of knocks on the door, which in this dark night, it was particularly harsh.
"Is it the third uncle? What's the matter at such a late hour? ”
As soon as Xu Guodong took a step, he asked, the knock on the door seemed to be very urgent, but the person who knocked on the door did not say a word from beginning to end.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The knocking continued, as if he heard the voices of people in the room, and the knock was a little louder, but the person who knocked on the door still didn't speak.
"Who? If you don't speak, I don't care about you! ”
Xu Guodong was a little angry, there were a lot of things going from house to house in the village, and he hadn't heard of anything that only knocked on the door and didn't speak, and he came over in the middle of the night, there must be something urgent, but if it was urgent, why didn't he speak?
"Mr. Xiao Xu, open the door quickly, something happened to our family, the child ran out in the middle of the night without knowing why, and the person was already gone when we chased out, you can help, help us find the child!"
Just when Xu Guodong and Lin Juan began to wonder, the voices outside finally remembered the human voice.
The voice sounded a little familiar, as if it was the eldest sister of a family next to her, the eldest sister had a child, usually a very kind person, and quite helpful, if there was any work that needed her help, she never shirked.
"It seems to be Sister-in-law Zhang."
Lin Juan heard this voice and recalled, it was indeed Sister-in-law Zhang's voice, this sister-in-law's son was Xu Guodong's student, and the relationship between the two families was not bad.
"This kid is lost? No, you'll have to look for it quickly, it's not good if something happens in this heavy rain! ”
Xu Guodong was a little anxious when he heard about the child, all teachers are like this, and they love each of their students very much, of course, they are talking about responsible teachers here.
Xu Guodong took the kerosene lamp from Lin Juan's hand, picked up an umbrella casually, and was about to push open the door to help.
But just took a step, but was pulled by Lin Juan.
"Gordon, something is wrong!"
Lin Juan's hand grabbed Xu Guodong's arm tightly, and the slender arm burst out with a lot of strength at this time, so that Xu Guodong couldn't break free for a while, of course, he didn't think about breaking free.
"What's wrong? the kid, you stay at home first, I'll help find the kid, and I'll be back in a while. ”
Hearing that the child was lost, Xu Guodong was a little anxious for a while, and when he said this, he wanted to withdraw his hand from Lin Juan's arm, he is a kind person, many people in this village are kind to him, and when he introduced Lin Juan to him, he inherited the favor of many people in this village.
"Gordon!" Lin Juan shouted, and Xu Guodong stopped moving: "Do you remember what the third uncle explained to us when he left?" ”
"What did you confess?"
If it weren't for Lin Juan's reminder, Xu Guodong really didn't think about it, when he heard that the child was lost, what he thought about was to hurry up and help find the child back.
"Mr. Xiao Xu, Juanzi, you help, help come out and find it, please!"
The knock on the door sounded again, accompanied by the cry of the sister-in-law, which sounded very sad and tragic, and people couldn't help but sympathize.
"Alas, let's not say what the third uncle said, Sister-in-law Zhang is like this, she must not be able to find the child, it is raining so hard outside, you stay at home, I will go to help, and quickly get the child back."
As he spoke, Xu Guodong was about to bypass Lin Juan and walk out of the house, but at this time, Lin Juan was extremely strong, and she was like two people in normal times.
She blocked the door again, blocking Xu Guodong's way, and her face became a little ugly.
"The third uncle said, tonight, no matter who knocks on the door, you must not open the door!"
A delicate woman, at this time, she seems to be a general before thousands of troops, quite a vertical and horizontal posture, Lin Juan at this time is extremely strong, she has one meaning, this door can't be opened, Xu Guodong can't go out today.
"Wife, what's wrong with you today? Usually you are not like this, that is Sister-in-law Zhang, who helped us a lot, her child is lost, how can I not help find it? ”
Xu Guodong didn't quarrel with Lin Juan, let alone push Lin Juan, he just wanted Lin Juan to understand what he did, for this woman, he didn't love it yet, where could he go back and hurt her?
"Guodong, don't talk yet, you'll know later, trust me."
Lin Juan said solemnly, seeing her like this, Xu Guodong didn't say anything more, she is usually in charge of the family, and the two of them will discuss major events together, now that Lin Juan is so strong, it doesn't hurt to wait, after all, Lin Juan is not a vexatious person.
"Mr. Xiao Xu, Juanzi, it's my sister-in-law's begging for you, come out and help me find it~"
Sister-in-law Zhang outside the door was a little crying, with a hint of pleading in her voice, but correspondingly, a cold glint flashed in Lin Juan's eyes.
"Sister-in-law, how did you get into our yard? I remember the door was struck. ”
As soon as Lin Juan said this, the knock on the door and the crying sound stopped abruptly, as if the radio stopped all of a sudden, which was very abrupt.
At this time, Xu Guodong also realized that something was wrong, and when they slept at night, they would close the door of the yard, but how could this sister-in-law directly cross the yard and appear in front of his house?
The most important thing is that there is no sound in the whole process, and this matter is extremely scary to think about!
"Sister-in-law, there is a saying that I don't know if you have heard, there are three ghosts and four ghosts, that is, when you knock on the door, people generally only knock three times, but..."
Lin Juan didn't continue, but Xu Guodong had already understood everything, and recalled the knock just now, and cold sweat unconsciously broke out on his forehead.
If he remembered correctly, the constant knocking was every four knocks, a pause!
