Chapter 11: Blackmail

"Boom"

Outside, the night sky thundered and thundered, the rain trampled the earth wantonly, and the wind whistled and swirled.

The old ruined mansion kept creaking and crumbling in the raging storm.

Countless cold winds seeped in through the cracks in the windows and door panels, tirelessly attacking the dilapidated house.

The candle flickered on and off, and could go out at any time.

Chu Xiaohe, who had been burying his little head in Ning Qing's arms, raised it at some point, looking at the window on the wall with horror out of the corner of his eye, and his body trembled.

Her sudden words made everyone's hearts run cold.

I saw a distorted shadow reflected on the window, appearing and disappearing with intermittent lightning, changing form each time.

The twisted figure is getting bigger, and at the same time, it is also a sign of getting closer.

A few seconds seemed like centuries had passed, and everyone was staring at each other for fear of missing a detail.

No one spoke, only the sound of breathing one after another, and the faint trilling sound from the direction of Feng Hou and his wife.

The atmosphere was eerily quiet.

"Who could it be?"

Ning Qing was also stunned by the distorted figure outside the house at first, forgetting to think for a short time, and immediately asked out loud after reacting.

He was an atheist who always believed that there were living people on the outside, not some unknown, incomprehensible, ominous existence.

If you're not sure what's out there, the answer is, "What could it be?" And "instead of" who would be? ”

"Who" represents people, and "things" are unpredictable existences.

It is said to be a question, but it is actually a euphemistic reminder.

Remind everyone not to panic too much and mess with themselves.

Zhang Zhengguo, Zhang Mei and Lin Yu were the first to wake up, and their tense nerves gradually relaxed, while Feng Hou and Ke Li didn't realize the meaning of Ning Qing's words, and they were still panicking.

"I don't know!" Lin Yu's face was not very natural, and he was obviously captured the first time he saw the figure.

"The owner of the house or Master Wang?" Zhang Zhengguo frowned and guessed.

Ning Qing shook his head and was noncommittal: "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." ”

There are only a few people on the desert island, except for these people in the house, there are only Wang Guangsheng who disappeared and the owner of the house who met at the gate.

At this time, people who brave the typhoon to approach this house, whether it is a strange man who goes and returns, or Wang Guangsheng who has mysteriously disappeared.

Of course, the possibility of other people on the desert island cannot be ruled out, after all, there is already a strange owner of the house, and it is not uncommon to have another one.

It is not difficult to guess the reason for the proximity to this house, the other houses in the village are not enough for them to survive the super typhoon, and this relatively well-preserved house is the best place to take refuge.

"Bang!"

The two wooden door panels were violently slammed, and the deadbolts were still tightly stuck in the grooves, not being pushed open.

For a second... Two seconds... Three seconds...

For a full seven or eight seconds, the knock on the door did not sound again, and it seemed to disappear.

But the people who were unprecedentedly focused saw that in the cracks of the two door panels, a white-eyeball was rolling around their bodies through the gaps.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The disappearing knock on the door sounded again, the interval getting smaller and smaller, and the sound became louder and louder.

"Open the door! I know it's you in there! ”

"Open the door! Let me in! ”

"Open the door!"

The voice is high-pitched, thin, and easy to tell, the owner of the house who has gone and returned.

Although Ning Qing and the others had already predicted that the person who came was either Wang Guangsheng or the owner of the house, it was just a prediction, and it was just something that might happen with a high probability.

As long as this door is not opened, no one can know who exactly is outside the door, and naturally there is no way to know whether the arrival of the other party will lead to unforeseen events.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to open the door and only dared to breathe a sigh of relief after confirming that the person who came was indeed the owner of the house.

It's easy to open a door, but it's hard to close.

The four of them braved the howling wind and tried with all their might to close the two wooden doors and bolt them.

The owner of the house, still holding his duffel bag in one hand, staggered towards Ning Qing and the others who were gathered together, and the rain dripped down his clothes onto the dusty floor, dragging an irregular line of water.

Wet and shivering, he hurriedly put down his duffel bag, and subconsciously rubbed his arms back and forth with his palms, trying to generate heat to drive away the cold.

"Not in a hurry to get back to the city? Why did you run back again? Lin Yupi asked with a smile, seemingly caring, but in fact, it was not difficult to hear the sarcasm.

"Ma's! The big tree was blown down by the typhoon and blocked the road, and the car couldn't pass,! ”

The large loss of body temperature made the owner of the house very pale, his lips were also purple-black, and he gritted his teeth when he spoke, and he continued to use foul language.

Ning Qing glanced at Lin Yu quietly, and quickly withdrew his gaze, the other party was giving him a very strange feeling now.

When I first met, the other party gave him the impression that he was a cheerful and warm young man, and he belonged to the character of being a brother after a few drinks.

After Zhang Zhengguo roared, Lin Yu seemed to be a different person, and his words were tricky and sarcastic.

Maybe Lin Yu has always been this kind of character?

An idea suddenly flashed in Ning Qing's heart, and then he frowned and forced himself not to think about it, not wanting to make up his mind about a person so early.

It cannot be ruled out that it is a series of strange things today that make the other party feel angry, thus releasing another side that even the other party himself does not know.

"Why are you all running to my house?" The owner of the house seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, staring at the crowd and questioning.

This question suddenly embarrassed Zhang Zhengguo and others.

As I said before, enter without asking, it's okay if others don't know, but if you are discovered, you can't say anything.

was poked in the face by the owner of the house, Feng Hou's face was the most unnatural.

Thinking about it, anyone will be a little weak in this matter, and he naturally has to be a little cheeky as a listed executive, so he hurried to explain it as soon as possible.

"Ahem... That's right, brother, you also see how big the typhoon is outside, I'm afraid that the other houses in the village won't survive tonight, and we have nowhere to go, so let's borrow it for one night... Borrow it for one night..."

"No matter how you say this house, it's my house, you live in it without my consent, this is a trespass on a famous house, it's a crime!"

The owner of the house changed his previous half-dead state, and rubbed his fingers quite mercifully: "Considering that you also have a last resort, it is a little inhumane to drive you out directly, or... You mean that this is considered a thing of the past? ”

"What? Do you still have to charge money for living in your house? I knew I shouldn't have opened the door for you just now!! ”

Ke Li, who had been frightened and a little submissive before, was very emotional when she heard that she was going to give money.

"Huh! Not much, this number per person. The dead pig of the owner of the house stretched out his palm like boiling water, and opened his five fingers, "Five hundred, the door you don't want to give is over there, please!" ”

Ning Qing, Zhang Zhengguo, Lin Yu and others were also shocked by his play and looked surprised.

What should this man say...

It's really a matter of asking for money!

I don't look at how many people I am, and how many people the other party is, and I dare to threaten for money if I am arrogant.

Abandoned houses on a desert island, dark and windy at night, and violent winds.

It's really a good weather for murder, arson, and corpse destruction!
