Chapter 556: A Visitor in the Middle of the Night
Hearing Lin Laosan mention the old Taoist, Xu Guodong began to ask again, but this time Lin Laosan didn't say anything more, but instead stuffed Xu Guodong with a few yellow talismans, told him to put them away, and then called Lin Juan out and urged them to leave.
"The third child, it's raining heavily outside, how do you let Juanzi and them go with their children?"
Lin Laosan's daughter-in-law stopped her and wanted Lin Juan and Xu Guodong to stay at home for one night, but Lin Laosan glared at her, and she didn't dare to say anything.
"I'm going to take them home."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Laosan still decided to personally send Xu Guodong and Lin Juan back.
After learning some information from Lin Laosan before, Xu Guodong knew that his third uncle's decision was not something that ordinary people could change, and Lin Juan on the side obviously knew Lin Laosan better, holding the child without saying a word, and quietly put on the robe.
Lin Laosan patted Xu Guodong on the shoulder, looked at him deeply, and then walked out of the house with Lin Juan with an umbrella.
He understood that since Lin Laosan let them go home, it meant that their home was much safer than Lin Laosan's here.
From the tablet of Lin Laosan enshrined in that room, you can know that the other party should be targeting Lin Laosan, and at this time, they stay in Lin Laosan's house and may be targeted at any time.
It is never uncommon for a fire at the city gate to affect the fish in the pond.
did not refuse, followed Lin Laosan's daughter-in-law to say goodbye, Xu Guodong followed and walked out, Lin Laosan stood next to Lin Juan with an umbrella, and when he saw Xu Guodong come out, he handed over the umbrella in his hand to Xu Guodong, and he turned to his daughter-in-law and said a word.
"Before I come back, whoever knocks on the door will go and don't answer, don't come out, and besides, take care of the children."
Lin Laosan asked, and then locked the door from the outside, and a big lock hung on the wooden door, which looked very strange.
Lin Juan didn't ask much, and Xu Guodong had some guesses about this move, which must have something to do with what happened before, and Lin Juan was also by her side, so there was no need to touch her head at this time.
The three of them walked all the way back to Xu Guodong's house, nothing happened, the calm was extraordinary, and there seemed to be countless horrors hidden in the darkness, so they curled up there motionless, as if they were extremely patient hunters, waiting for the prey to relax their vigilance.
Xu Guodong and Lin Juan walked in front, Lin Laosan walked behind alone, Xu Guodong felt a little wrong in the middle, but that kind of wrongness always disappeared in the next second, he didn't know if it was the things hidden in the dark that were tempting, or those things were driven away by Lin Laosan, and he didn't dare to look back.
It wasn't until he walked into the house that he breathed a long sigh of relief, such a short road didn't take much time, but it made Xu Guodong feel as if he had walked for several months.
Lin Laosan didn't enter the door, sent the two to their home, and also instructed "No matter who knocks on the door at night, go and don't open the door." And then he left.
Xu Guodong only saw the ghost thing today, and he suspected that there was very likely that something would come to the door in the middle of the night, so he nodded and answered, without asking more, and at the same time, with the help of Lin Laosan, the doors and windows of the house were pasted with yellow charms, and the two adults and children also put a peace blessing on their bodies, which was the end.
After Lin Laosan left, Lin Juan didn't ask Xu Guodong what happened, and Xu Guodong didn't mean to say it, not wanting Lin Juan to feel the same fear as him.
Everyone's first time is unforgettable, and the first time to see a ghost is even more so.
After placing the child and putting on a suitable dress, Lin Laosan left, although the doors and windows had been pasted with talisman paper, Xu Guodong didn't know that these things were really useful when dealing with ghosts, and he was uneasy.
blocked the door with a chair, hung a rope on the window, and took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen and put it aside, Xu Guodong had a little confidence.
Those who have never seen a ghost will never imagine what kind of shock and horror it was to encounter a ghost for the first time.
Still uneasy in her heart, the kerosene lamp in the room had been extinguished, Lin Juan was lying on the side with the child in her arms, leaving Xu Guodong alone struggling with his eyes, lying there looking at the ceiling.
The sound of rain outside the window was dripping, and the sound of ticking water seemed to be the blood flowing in the dark night, dividing the inside and outside of the house into two worlds.
In the dark, I couldn't see anything clearly, I could only judge by the sound of breathing, and there were children and Lin Juan lying next to them.
Today's children are very well-behaved, and they don't make a lot of noise when they sleep at night, if it is normal, Xu Guodong and Lin Juan may feel very comfortable, but now...
Xu Guodong really hopes that the child can cry a few times at this time, so that the child's crying echoes in this room, which will make him feel that this place is still full of popularity, not loneliness.
"Can't sleep?"
Lin Juan's soft voice sounded in the dark, and her small hand kept touching the back of Xu Guodong's hand, that gentleness, and extra warmth in the dark.
"It's okay, I have to think about something, by the way, wife, let's wait for the rain to stop and then get out of here, okay?"
Xu Guodong asked inquiringly, he wasn't sure if making such a request would make Lin Juan unhappy, he really loved her and didn't want her to be unhappy in the slightest, but he didn't want her to be in the slightest danger.
"Did the third uncle say that?"
Lin Juan is a smart woman, thinking that Xu Guodong once went out alone with Lin Laosan, she immediately thought of the reason for Xu Guodong's change.
"Hmm"
There is no need to hide this matter, since he has already guessed, concealing it has no effect, so he answered honestly.
"Okay, then we'll leave when the rain stops, and I'll pack up my things when I get back."
Lin Juan was very well-behaved, and did not raise any dissatisfaction at this time, but was very supportive of Xu Guodong's decision, which made Xu Guodong a little suspicious that Lin Juan knew something.
However, he preferred to believe that Lin Juan agreed because of him and because he said it.
Warmth rippled in the darkness, and the two didn't say anything, but that kind of emotion made this dark and closed space no longer cold, and that trace of warmth swept through the arms and slid through the heart, expelling fear and mending wounds.
Xu Guodong sighed in his heart, a person like him has experienced so many things, from a rich child to such a point, God finally opened his eyes, gave him such a good daughter-in-law, and a complete home, and those rich and noble, such a warm home is what he wants most.
Hugging his wife and children sideways, this warmth made him completely let go of the worry in his heart, and he was about to leave this village, and he had to work harder in the future.
To give Lin Juan the best life, to let this child grow up better, even if he didn't have any ability before, but in the future, he will become their biggest supporter.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, it is dark inside and outside the house, and the black clouds are still thick like mountains, which are so dull that it is difficult to breathe, but Xu Guodong's family of three gradually fell asleep, and their breathing became more and more stable.
The rain was still falling outside, dripping, not very heavy, not drizzle, the raindrops were beating on the roof tiles, tinkling, the doors and windows greeted the dense raindrops, the sound was like a small insect locked in a jar, constantly struggling.
Xu Guodong's consciousness gradually blurred, and he vaguely felt sleepy, but his ears still couldn't control listening to the sound outside the window, as if there was something that attracted him.
Gradually, he heard that there seemed to be a slight abnormality in the sound of the rain, a little strange, as if there was something more in the rain, the feeling was very strange, he couldn't tell the reason, and it seemed to be just an illusion when he recognized it carefully.
"Smack"
There was a soft crisp sound, as if something had fallen into the puddle, which made Xu Guodong suddenly sober up, and looked up at the window, he had a feeling that something seemed to have quietly walked into their yard...
