Chapter 30: A Knock at the Wooden Door

It was pouring rain outside, and the wind and rain were loud, and Junko's words were drowned in the wind and rain, and Asa didn't hear what her mother said clearly, so she locked the door thinking that her mother wouldn't come back at night.

Asa and her younger siblings were a group of night owls, and in the absence of their mother, they were crazy about the house until about eleven o'clock in the evening. Youlin likes to listen to "Not Afraid, Not Afraid", and he keeps singing on the radio: I am more nervous, I am not afraid, I am not afraid, and timidity will only make me more haggard...... No matter how dark the night is, I should not be able to see.

The shallow father sat on a stool watching TV, and he urged the children: "It's time to go to bed, hurry up and wash your face and go to bed." ”

"It's dark outside, how do you fetch water?" Yubayashi and Kenji stood at the door and refused to go out.

"Coward! I'll goβ€”" Shallow joke brother and sister.

The rain in the yard was still dripping, shallow carried a basin from the house and ran to the yard to quickly catch water from the well, the rain on the plane tree fell on her shoulders in large drops, and she looked at a black dead end in the yard behind her, she felt cold and afraid. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the small wooden door of the shallow house, holding an umbrella and holding a basin in his hand, looking at the stormy door and stunned for a moment, no one will come at this time in the usual way, is it a ghost, is the ghost knocking? Shallow guessed in his heart, and there was a local sound outside the door again. The shallow nerves immediately tensed, her heart began to beat faster, her eyes looked at the door in horror, and the sound of the small wooden door began to rush when dangdang. "What the hell!" Shallow couldn't control her frightened emotions anymore, she threw everything in her hand and ran to the house, slipped directly to the ground, and the basin in her hand was thrown into another room and got under the bed.

"Ghost!" She sat on the ground and cried loudly.

"What's wrong?" Mr. Ishii, who was sitting on a stool, heard a shallow scream and didn't know what was happening, and he panicked and walked to his daughter's side. Yubayashi and Kenji followed behind Ishii, and they both looked at Asa who was sitting on the ground crying for no reason. "What's wrong? Shallow! Ishii asked again.

"Outside......" Qianqian stretched out her arm and pointed to the courtyard, she choked up and said: "There is a ghost, the wooden door is ringing......" Qianqian cried unscrupulously after speaking.

When Ishii heard this, he went out of the house to the courtyard and opened the door. It was the shallow mother Junko who knocked on the door, and Junko said unhappily, "What's the matter, I haven't opened the door until now." ”

"Do you think it's a ghost? Is she sitting on the floor crying? Ishii felt that his daughter was childish and ridiculous, so he replied to Junko with a smile.

"How daring!"

"Shallow, get up! It's mom back, where is the ghost? Ishii walked into the house and smiled and persuaded Asao.

Yubayashi and Kenji turned their heads and saw that it was really their mother who walked in, so they invariably made fun of the shallow coward, and the shallow was frightened, and she sat on the ground and still cried like a tearful person. Mr. Ishii went into the house and pulled out the basin that had been thrown in from under the bed, and he came out with a smile and said, "Look, your daughter is so scared that she threw the basin away." ”

Then the whole family looked at her and smiled, and Mr. Ishii put down the basin and helped her up, saying, "I told Youlin just now that you are bold, look at your appearance, how bold?" Didn't you say you were very bold when you went out to fetch water just now? ”

"But, Mommy......" Shallow still choked up, and said intermittently, "She said that she won't be coming back tonight." If it's not a ghost, who could it be? ”

"When I went out just now, I said I'd be back in the evening!" Pure interjected on the side.

"I heard you say you can't come back."

"You heard me wrong!"

Outside, the sky was still thundering, and the rain was heavy and light. Ishii fetched some water from outside the house, washed the children, and the family went to bed early.

After being frightened, she got up early at dawn the next day. She hurried to the well and washed her face, then stood in front of the mirror in the room and combed her hair, and after combing for a while, there was a clanging sound outside the door, and she glanced at the clock on the wallβ€”6:20. It's strange, it's so early, who could it be? Qianqian put down the comb in her hand and ran out of the yard and opened the wooden door, outside the wooden door, an unkempt and thin old woman stood upright at the door, looking at Qianqian with a stunned face, her hair was gray.

"Ah...... Hell yes! The old woman looked at the frightened shallow and said to herself, "Where is my cat?" "She got up early in the morning, her hair was not combed, and she didn't know how she came to the door of the shallow house." What's wrong with this girl? She stood in the doorway with a shocked look on her face, and then walked in the direction of Ke Zhen's house.

Qianqian returned to the house and woke up her mother, who was sleeping lightly, trembling and said, "Mom, there is a ghost outside, it's an old woman!" Her hair was tousled and her eyes stood straight in the doorway. ”

"What the hell!" Junko said a word and turned around and fell asleep.

Seeing that her mother didn't believe her words, she sat motionless in the room. She thought: I won't go to school so early today. If Xiaolin doesn't come to call me, then I'll sit and wait for Yubayashi and Kenji to get up before going out of the house.

When Xiaolin called Asa outside the door, Youlin and Kenji had already gotten up and carried their schoolbags to go to school, and when Xiaolin heard Xiaolin's shouting outside the door, she immediately picked up the books on the table and ran out and left with Xiaolin first.

When they were walking on Huatian Street, they saw the old woman standing far away on the road in the morning, her expression was dull and her face was dazed. Qianqian was very surprised, she pointed to the place where the old woman was standing and said to Xiaolin: "Xiaolin, look, that old woman, isn't she a ghost, why is she standing there!" ”

"She's a ghost, and people live in this village."

"Why haven't I seen it?" Asa shuddered at the thought of her suddenly standing at the mouth of her house in the morning.

Xiao Lin was not interested in the topic, and she twisted her head to the side. There were scattered students of all grades on the road, talking as they went. At this time, Ke Zhen and her cousin walked out of the single's house in Jiuhutong, Xiaolin patted Qianqian and pointed to Shiyan's house, and when she saw Ke Zhen and her cousin walking towards her with a smile, she stopped them and asked angrily: "Ke Zhen, what's the matter with you two?" How did you get out of that place? Didn't I tell you not to learn from your teacher? Why are you so disobedient? ”

Ke Zhen and her cousin both smiled and ignored the shallow question, shallow was very disappointed and impatient, she walked quickly ahead with the book in her arms. pulled down Xiaolin and Ke Zhen. Ke Zhen, she still followed her mother's path after all.

Shi Yan is a mud-legged farmer in his thirties, he has no wife, and he has lived in five houses left by his ancestors for many years. The walls of his house were made of mud. These are all things that Xiao Lin told Qian Qian on their way to school, as well as about the private affairs of the teacher and the bachelor, Xiao Lin pointed to the dilapidated courtyard and told Qianqian: "All of us here know about her." Her mother beat her for it. ”

It's really a good thing not to go out, but a bad thing to spread thousands of miles.

Shallow was in a bad mood, she regretted that her neighbor Ke really lost her footing, how could this girl go downhill so quickly? She didn't know how her uncle and cousin took these two parents with these two children!

When Asa walked to the intersection, Jiming and a group of boys stood on the road early. They were dressed in all white shirts and looked in the direction they were walking shallowly. Her shallow attitude towards this crossroads became more and more cold, and she walked quickly towards the flower field, allowing the boys behind her to cry loudly.

Shallow is a very conservative girl, although she likes Zhiming, but there has not been a real conversation between her and Zhiming, Zhiming has never confessed anything to her, he just likes to follow him silently wherever he goes during school time, he doesn't care about other people's eyes, he doesn't care about other people's words. It seems that in his eyes, his world is full of Wang Qianqian. He likes to stand quietly in the back seat at the end of class and sing: "I said that I only have you in my eyes, and I can't forget you with you." I hope that every day and night, by your side...... "There has never been any dialogue between them, the only thing that often exists is Jiming's song after song between classes.

This song, when he liked Wang Qianqian, often sang it quietly to Wang Qianqian when Wang Qianqian was left in the classroom after class.

The sun was still quite warm on this day, and during the end of class, the two of them sat on the stool silently. The sun shines through the windows every day on their young faces. Ye Zi is a ghost and clever, and when he sees Qianqian, he keeps talking: "Qianqian, do you go to school every day to date Zhiming." ”

"No, there's nothing between us."

"I heard that Zhiming lives in Yang Ling's house every day, and Yang Ling's house is quite close to your house, so it's very convenient to date you?"

"Not really, I haven't even spoken a word to him."

Ye Zi listened, and stiffened his nose with a look of disbelief. Qianqian didn't want to explain anything to her, I don't believe it, anyway, Ye Zi has pushed herself into the vortex of this early love, let it be.

While the two of them were talking, Yang Ling walked in from outside the classroom, Yang Ling was also a fan, and kept singing: "I came to your window again tonight, how cute your shadow is on the curtain." ......" When he walked by Qianqian's side, he sat down next to Wang Qianqian, and Qianqian angrily pushed him away.

"Huh?" He turned his head and sat back down with a hippie smile on his face.

"Go away!" Qianqian pushed him again, but Yang Ling remained motionless as if he had grown on a stool. "You ......" Qianqian couldn't push him, so he had to turn his head sullenly and say nothing, sit down, sit as you want. Plague man, he is really disgusted, how can there be such a scoundrel in the world who can't be avoided.

Ye Zi sat beside Asano, smiling at everything that was happening in front of him. This time she was quiet, but her eyes were full of everything! That is, I know how to be shallow!

No one wants to see it, annoying! Yang Ling sat beside Qianqian for a while, and when he saw that Qianqian ignored him, he got up and walked away. He glanced back at Qianqian, looking like a hooligan, Wang Qianqian was very bored and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
