Chapter 54: Lock-Finding
I was about to lie down, when I suddenly heard a knock on the door, and almost screamed in fright to Chen Shuang, who was suspicious, shaking my hands and touching the table, and touching a candlestick and holding it tightly, I felt a little bolder, and asked in a trembling voice: "Who ......?"
"Grandma......" This voice was Chunyan's voice, and Chen Shuangchuan opened the door with a relieved heart.
I saw Chunyan holding the quilt with her hair draped, and she didn't wear a vest, and she shivered and said to Chen Shuangchuan: "Grandma, let me sleep in this outer room, when I close my eyes, I always feel that I hear the whining sound, and I can't sleep......"
…… It turns out that this is also a coward. Chen Shuangchuan hurriedly put the candlestick, looking at Chunyan like that and thinking about the appearance of lying down and getting up just now, getting up and lying down, it is estimated that Chunyan is about the same, so he couldn't help laughing, let people in, and said, "No need to sleep outside, there is no place to lie down." Sleep with me...... I also feel a little scared. ”
Chunyan was overjoyed, quickly put down the pillow quilt, cleaned it up, blew out the lamp, got into the quilt, and suddenly felt warm, the eyelids that had been holding on finally couldn't help but close, and before falling asleep, she didn't forget to mutter: "I suddenly feel that this yard is a little too big, empty, and it makes people feel chilled to look at......"
Chen Shuangchuan couldn't hold his hand, yawned, and replied dimly: "Sleep, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
It seems that I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time, when I woke up in the morning, Chen Shuangchuan was still a little confused, I felt that there was someone on the bed, I didn't react at once, I thought I was still in Chen's house, and I followed Chen Caichun to sleep in a bed, pushed it, yawned and said, "The third sister is getting better." ”
Being pushed by Chen Shuang, Chunyan also woke up, rubbed her eyes and sat up, and said, "Grandma, are you ......awake?"
Chen Shuangchuan suddenly came to his senses, Chen Caichun was already married, Chen Shuangchuan was also married, and the Chen family had already moved to Pujiang, for a while Chen Shuang lowered his head and looked at his hands slowly opening and closing, but there was a sadness that he couldn't grasp anything.
After a while, Chen Shuangchuan recovered, and after washing, he remembered that Chunyan said that the yard was too big yesterday, so he walked around the yard, counted the size of the room, and there were actually six or seven rooms, but most of them were empty, and I didn't know if I was thinking about it in my heart, and I always felt that when I pushed the door, it was squeaky, and it was dark inside, and I couldn't notice it at all if I hid one or two or something.
"These rooms that are not used are still locked."
Chen Shuang made a decision, and Chunyan, who was frightened for half the night, also strongly agreed, but the two of them tossed for a long time and found that there were not enough locks at home.
This courtyard was originally a part of the He family, and then it was separated, and another door was opened, and in normal times, as long as the courtyard door was locked, there was no need to lock it in a single room, so I really couldn't find so many locks.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Shuangchuan said, "Then I'll go buy a few and come back." ”
There is still a lot of work to be done at home, so Chen Shuangchuan didn't bring Chunyan, went out alone, and went to see Mrs. Zhao by the way.
Earlier, Mrs. Zhao lived in the county seat with Chen Shuang's uncle Yang Youcai, but the old lady felt that the county was indifferent, so she moved back to the countryside to live with her uncle Yang Youmao. In the past, when I was free, Chen Shuangchuan would often go over to visit, but the little aunt He had a broken mouth, and after the eldest uncle Yang Youcai moved away, she felt that she had suffered a loss, and she had to take care of this old man, and she had to take care of this old man, for fear that people would take advantage of her family, Chen Shuangchuan was afraid that she would embarrass Mrs. Zhao, so she went less, and every time she went, she just sat on Mrs. Zhao's side for a while, and she didn't even dare to drink a sip of water.
Seeing Chen Shuangxia, Mrs. Zhao was also really happy, but when He heard the movement, she showed her face, gloomy and gloomy, and muttered in a voice that could be heard: "This white eater is here again." ”
Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she couldn't quarrel with her, so she pulled Chen Shuang into her room, sighed and said, "It's made you angry." ”
"It's better to pretend that you didn't hear it, aren't you angry with her seriously?" Chen Shuang fell down fine, and felt that He's annoyance could come a few times less, but it was just that Mrs. Zhao, the son who had worked hard to raise, had to suffer such anger when she was old. It is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and Chen Shuangchuan can't say much, so he can only say a few words of relief in general.
After all, Chen Shuangchuan is a junior, and Mrs. Zhao will not talk to her seriously about these hardships, her face is bitter for a while, Mrs. Zhao also let go, and remembered Chen Shuangchuan's matter, so she asked: "I heard that the He family moved away, why don't you go with this girl, how can you live alone here?" ”
Mrs. He and Chen Shuang are not on the right track, even if they go with them, they may not have any good days, it is better to stay here, although there are also inconvenient places, but they are always in charge of their own homes and are free. The reason for this is not easy to say, so he had to purse his lips and smile.
Because he was afraid of He's nagging, Chen Shuangchuan didn't dare to sit more, and chatted with Mrs. Zhao for a while before leaving the door.
The locksmith lived a little far away, and when Chen Shuangchuan came back after buying the lock, it was already evening, Chunyan waited at the door early, and when she saw Chen Shuangchuan, it was like seeing a savior, and she ran over with a crying voice: "Grandma, I heard that voice again, there won't really be a ghost!" ”
This time, even Chen Shuangchuan felt a little creepy by her, listened to it for a while, and didn't hear any movement, and asked suspiciously: "Didn't hear any sound." ”
"Not over here, by the lake."
Hearing Chunyan say this, Chen Shuangchuan knew that this girl ran to the lake to look again, obviously she wasn't very scared yesterday, why did she have the courage to go there today. "I really don't understand, are you really afraid, or are you not afraid?"
“…… If you don't see it clearly, you always feel uneasy. Chunyan is like a child, for these things that she doesn't understand, she is both scared and curious, and she makes her heart scratch and tickle like a kitten.
took out the locks and replaced them one by one, Chunyan was still thinking about the strange crying over there, and always wanted to go over to see what was going on, but she was timid and small, and she didn't dare to go alone, and she was embarrassed to say it, so she could only keep chasing Chen Shuang and running.
Chen Shuangchuan could only sigh and say: "Even if you want to see it, it has to be tomorrow, and now it's almost dark." ”
After such a nervous night, Chunyan followed Chen Shuangchuan like a little tail in the morning, washed her face and ate, Chen Shuangzhuan's face darkened, she had never felt that Chunyan was so pestering before.
