Chapter 567: Someone Came to the Door
After Lin Laosan left, everything seemed to have fallen into a kind of calm, and this small mountain village had returned to calm in the eyes of Xu Guodong's family.
The family of three has its own duties, Xu Guodong hides in the small room to review the spells and use of secret arts, while Lin Juan is taking care of the children and tidying up the housework.
There is no way to go out on a rainy day, and the previous thing happened, this heating will not leave the room, and the warm little home in the past, against the backdrop of the heavy rain, seems to be a small cage, trapping the family in this place.
Darkness has enveloped every corner of this mountain village, and this heavy rain, which has been raining for more than a day, shows no signs of stopping.
The weather seemed to indicate some kind of ominous vision, and this small village, which had been abandoned by insects and birds, and the livestock did not dare to make a sound, also appropriately showed the unusual place here.
After learning that there were ghosts in the village, this unusual silence was an invisible pressure for Xu Guodong, and the darkness and silence in the rain were intertwined, constructing a more mysterious environment in this small world.
Every window of the house, as well as the walls facing the outside, have been posted with town charms, and even the walls and doors of the main house have been pasted with more town charms from the inside just in case, the door is broken open by ghosts, and they can also hide in the main house at that time, and use this main house as the last line of defense.
A small precaution is just an extra layer of protection for one's own safety, and when one's life is threatened, the preparation is still relatively sufficient.
Of course, this is also because they have no better way, as Lin Laosan said, even if the other yellow talismans are handed over to them, they are not capable of using them, and they are just a piece of waste paper.
This safe fortress made Xu Guodong and Lin Juan feel a little safe, but in fact, Xu Guodong still had a faint feeling in his heart.
"How long is this going to last?"
Looking at the continuous heavy rain outside the window, Xu Guodong's expression changed, this rain has been raining for a day or two, and there is no situation, but if this heavy rain falls for ten days and half a month, I am afraid that even if those yellow talismans can always resist the attack of ghosts, then it is impossible for them not to go out all the time.
At that time, in the countryside, every family would store a lot of grain, although the food was enough to eat, but the water could not be accumulated too much at once, most of them put a water tank in the house, install a tank of water, and wait until the water was almost used, and then go to fetch water.
People can go without eating for a few days, but they definitely can't go without drinking water for a few days, Xu Guodong had already checked it in the morning, and there was only half a tank of water left in the water tank, which was only enough for their family to use for two or three days.
"Forget it, let's try it for two days and three times, and when it really doesn't work, I'll go out to fetch water."
He wouldn't let Lin Juan take risks in this kind of thing, there was danger when he went out, and this danger naturally had to be borne by him as a man.
When things really come, sometimes people's thoughts don't really change anything, and the most dangerous thing is not those things that are on the surface, but some small situations that come out of nowhere.
Just when the family was quietly staying together, outside the small courtyard shrouded in heavy rain, there was another knock on the door.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
Even though it was still raining, the sound clearly reached the ears of Xu Guodong and Lin Juan, and the movements of the two stopped instantly.
"Gordon!"
Lin Juan hugged the child and leaned towards the corner, the two looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
The four eyes were facing each other, and there were some speculations and worries in their eyes, they didn't know if Lin Laosan was back again, or if someone else had come here, or...
"Juan, don't worry yet, maybe the third uncle is back."
Touching the peace charm in his arms, Xu Guodong's mood calmed down a bit, the current situation can't be panicked by both people, in the face of danger, only calm people can accurately judge the situation.
"Impossible, definitely not the third uncle!"
Lin Juan immediately shook her head, without the slightest hesitation, her expression was very solemn, and she knew Lin Laosan and her niece very well.
If it is said that others may go and return because they have forgotten some things, but Lin Laosan has always left her with the impression that she is neat and tidy, and she almost never forgets anything.
Especially when you go to do something dangerous, you will be fully prepared and will not have any reckless behavior in the process.
And when Lin Laosan came before, he kicked the door in, if it was Lin Laosan, he would naturally not come to knock on the door again, he already knew that neither Xu Guodong nor Lin Juan would rashly leave the room and open the door in the courtyard after such a thing.
The method chosen is simple, Lin Laosan will definitely kick the gate of the courtyard directly open again.
A door is still insignificant compared to a few lives, Lin Laosan is a person who understands, of course he won't care about those details at such a time.
The room fell silent all of a sudden, Xu Guodong and Lin Juan sat together, looking at the door, no one had any intention of going out.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
There was a knock on the door again, and although they couldn't see the outside, they both seemed to be able to feel the gate of the courtyard shaking, and they didn't make a sound, they were waiting, waiting for someone or a ghost outside to break in, or shout.
Knocking on the door without making a sound, not shouting, this is a bit abnormal, plus what happened in the past two days, the strangers who appeared outside the door at this time made Xu Guodong and Lin Juan very vigilant.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The knock on the door rang again, Xu Guodong and Lin Juan were silently counting the knocks, and found that it was three, and their hearts were a little more stable, but they still didn't make any sound.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
"Mr. Xiao Xu, are you at home?"
After waiting for a long time, the sound of people finally sounded outside the courtyard, the heavy rain was dripping, and the sound was very noisy, but the two people in the house could hear it clearly.
"Looks like a human?"
Xu Guodong hesitated and listened carefully.
"It sounds like the daughter-in-law of the Li family, but what is she doing at our house at this time?"
Lin Juan's ears were a little sharper than Xu Guodong's, and when the voice disappeared, the identity of the person who came could already be heard.
"The daughter-in-law of the Li family? She came to me? Why at this time? ”
Xu Guodong was also very surprised, although they are usually people in the same village, everyone gets along well, and the daughter-in-law of the Li family often comes to their house, but they are all here to find Lin Juan, and this is the first time they have come to their house to find him.
"Do you want to go out and have a look? It's daylight and nothing should happen. ”
Although I don't know what's going on, the relationship between the two families is quite good, and when he heard the voice, he seemed to be a little anxious, Xu Guodong couldn't pay attention for a while, and turned his head to look at Lin Juan.
"Don't go out, although it's daytime, but this rainy day, it's gloomy, and I always don't feel good."
Lin Juan shook her head, Xu Guodong actually thought so in his heart, but he is also a person who cares about feelings, the relationship between the two families is good, if something really happens to the Li family, something happens, he still has the heart to help.
It's just that the current situation is a little wrong, and this daughter-in-law of the Li family came by some coincidence.
She didn't come when Lin Laosan came, and not long after Lin Laosan left, the daughter-in-law of the Li family came up and knocked on the door, and it was hard not to think of some other things.
Since the old Taoist disappeared inexplicably, and even now there is no way to determine whether all these things are the shadow of the old Taoist, whether he is good or bad, and it is also undecided.
This person who has been together for three years and has a good relationship with each other is like this, and Xu Guodong is really a little uncertain about other people.
"Don't talk, I'll see if I can let her leave first."
Lin Juan handed over the child in her arms to Xu Guodong, stood up, and came to the door.
"Is it the Li family's sister? My family Guodong is sick, lying on the kang to rest, you see what to do another day, after all, it's raining heavily, and there is no way to go out. ”
Her sentence is a little lie, Xu Guodong is sick, and they have children at home, which means that their family can't go out today.
But there was a cry outside the door.
"Juanzi, you can help, my family is not good, I don't know what's going on, I have a breath left, I said that I want to say a few words to Mr. Xiao Xu before I die, I also have no way to come over, please, if Mr. Xiao Xu is not seriously ill, let him go"
