Chapter 5: Nightfall

Chen Erxi opened his eyes suddenly under the stimulation of an unknown impulse, he hurriedly turned over and got up, took out a tissue paper from his bag, and prepared to go outside the house for convenience. The deserted village was exceptionally quiet under the moonlight, the shadows of the branches were reflected on the ground, and the shadows swayed by the cold wind, like a pair of withered hands groping for something on the ground. Thinking of the strange legends that had been circulating in the deserted village before, Chen Erxi couldn't help but be a little scared, he wrapped up his clothes and mustered up the courage to prepare the house.

At this moment, he found through the stained glass window that Wang Leilei tiptoed through the open space in the middle of the village to the hut where Zhai Yong was, and knocked lightly on the door, Chen Erxi was immediately stunned, how could he not think of where Zhai Yong came from such a big charm, just because he couldn't see his girlfriend's color, how could there be a petite and cute girl like Wang Leilei who also took the initiative to find the door? I saw Zhai Yong open the door, and after staring at Wang Leilei for a few seconds, he let Wang Leilei into the house and closed the door casually. Erxi couldn't help grinning: "This kid is really restless, and I don't know what the relationship between the three of them is." As he spoke, he sold the door to find a secluded place to solve his top priority. But as soon as he went around the corner of the room, he tripped over something soft, plugged in and fell to the ground, and he looked back in horror - it turned out that Zou Lianwen was lying on the ground and sleeping. Chen Erxi said in his heart when he saw it, this old boy has a really big heart, he can fall asleep wherever he lies, and he is also a master. Then he remembered how he used to clean his room alone when everyone was chatting, and couldn't help but snort coldly, this person is too fond of pretending, sleeping here deserves you to catch a cold! Then he took a step and continued to complete his "great plan".

As soon as he squatted on the ground, Chen Erxi realized that he had made a serious mistake - he didn't bring a mobile phone, which made him a little overwhelmed, so he had to look around to find something to focus his gaze on, and finally he fell to the mottled shadows on the ground. Just as he was staring blankly at the shadow of the tree, the reflection like a hand stretched out in his direction, Chen Erxi tilted his head, thinking that this was an illusion, and then rubbed his eyes with his hand. Well, that's right, the shadows of the trees on the ground have stretched again! And this time it's even more obvious! When he saw this tree shadow for the first time before, it was still normal, and when he looked at it again, he already had the appearance of a hand, and when Erxi rubbed his eyes and looked again, the tree shadow began to slowly approach him at a speed visible to the naked eye. The wind rustled through the treetops, and the sound seemed to Erxi as if someone was sharpening a knife behind his back. He reached out and touched the amulet hanging around his neck, feeling that the situation was not good, and finally Erxi couldn't bear the fear in his heart, lifted his pants and turned around and ran towards the center of the village. But before he ran less than ten meters, he tripped over his slippery pants and fell to the ground, just falling beside Zou Lianwen, Chen Erxi suddenly saw the savior, and shook Zou Lianwen's body crazily, trying to wake him up, but Zou Lianwen, who was full of alcohol, didn't even raise his eyelids. Chen Erxi panicked at this time, he quickly rounded his arm and slapped Zou Lianwen's fat face twice, Zou Lianwen finally woke up from his sleep, but he was still a little confused.

"Huh? Ay!! How...... What's going on? You just hit me? Zou Lianwen's eyes were red, shaking his numb tongue, looking at Chen Erxi in front of him with a puzzled expression, he touched his cheek with his hand, it was hot and a little painful, "What do you want to do?!" โ€

Chen Erxi frightened Zou Lianwen, who had just been woken up by himself, Chen Erxi licked his lips in embarrassment, "I...... What am I going to do? He suddenly remembered the shadow of the tree that stretched out like an arm just now, and looked back in fearโ€”there was still silence behind him, the branches swaying in the evening breeze, and the shadows cast by the branches looked no different from ordinary shadows, "Am I mistaken?" Chen Erxi turned his head suspiciously and found that Zou Lianwen was squinting at him. I'm afraid that you'll catch a cold while you fall asleep here, so I'll convince you when you get up, let's go back to sleep. Haha, haha. Chen Erxi is a face-loving person, and the threat behind him is no longer there at this time, and how can he tell others that he was frightened by the shadow of a branch and fled?

"Then you put your pants up first!"

Chen Erxi hurriedly lifted his pants and scratched his head in embarrassment: "Let's go, uncle, I'll help you go back." โ€

"Wait! You're slow! Zou Lianwen's speech is not very clear, and it feels like he has drunk a lot of wine.

Chen Erxi was shocked: "Could it be that the matter of me slapping him twice was revealed?!" โ€

"Wine! I...... My bottle is left, and I still have half a bottle left! Where did it go? โ€

Erxi sighed, he had already realized that he would no longer be beaten for waking up the drunk in front of him rudely, so he was relieved, but he looked around and didn't find the small half bottle of wine that Zou Lianwen said, "Uncle, what kind of wine bottle is there." โ€

Syllable! Chen Erxi's right cheek was hot - Zou Lianwen gave him a slap, Erxi just wanted to protest, but immediately thought that after he slapped him twice in order to wake Zou Lianwen up, he was embarrassed to say anything, so he had to say stupidly: "Ah, uncle, let's go back to sleep when the wine is gone!" With that, he stepped forward to help Zou Lianwen stand up and walked towards the house. After wasting all his strength, Chen Erxi finally put the house near Zou Lianwen and put it on the bed that Zou Lianwen had made himself.

Chen Erxi looked left and right, and found that there was nothing abnormal in the center of the village, and looked at the shadow on the ground with palpitations, and after making sure that everything was normal, he walked out of Zou Lianwen's house with confidence. Touching the amulet around his neck, the metal amulet with his body temperature made him feel reassured. Speaking of which, this amulet was given to him by his grandmother when he was very young, and his grandmother told Erxi at that time that this amulet would give him guidance at critical moments. Although this piece of metal has never magically spoken since he was a child, Erxi still carries him with him all the time, and he also believes what his grandmother says, and this amulet will tell him what to do.

Everything in the village was still so quiet, he looked at the other people's rooms again, except for Zhang Ying's room, which still emitted a faint candlelight, the other rooms were not moving, they should all be asleep! He wiped the sweat from his forehead and trotted a few steps back to his house. "It's not a loss," Chen Erxi secretly thought in his heart, "He slapped me, and I slapped him for two miles!" What's more, he didn't know that I hit him" Thinking of this, Erxi couldn't help laughing, so he took off his coat and prepared to sleep as if he had unloaded a burden. But at this moment, he felt something in his pants pocket, which reminded him of something bad - it was a few pieces of toilet paper, that's right, after Chen Erxi went to the toilet, he was so busy that he didn't have time to wipe his ass......
