Chapter 222: A knock at the door in the middle of the night
Zhou Xiaozhou was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with dull eyes, and beside him was his cursed doll full of needles.
According to his experience, Dad Zhou couldn't wake up before tonight.
Zhou Xiaozhou's mind was in chaos, he was thinking about how to face his father with a big bag on his head tomorrow, and it didn't take long for him to feel a little sleepy after lying in bed.
The hands of the clock jumped to twelve o'clock.
Knock Knock Knock –
There was a slight noise at the door, and Zhou Xiaozhou, who had fallen into a semi-sleepy state, thought that he had auditory hallucinations and did not wake up at all.
The knock on the door grew louder.
Knock, knock, knock, knock –
The very rhythmic sound grew louder and louder, and finally the people in the room quarreled.
Zhou Xiaozhou sat up a little dazedly, looking at the position of the door with a puzzled face.
There was another knock on the door.
Not just intentionally or unintentionally, the knock was very regular, and it would stop after only four rings at a time, and then continue after a while.
Zhou Xiaozhou was sure that it was not his hallucination, but that there was indeed someone outside the door!
Blinking vigorously, he glanced up at the clock, it was already twelve o'clock in the night, who would knock on the door at such a time?!
After hesitating and getting out of bed, Zhou Xiaozhou put on his slippers and walked lightly to the door. He didn't turn on the light, but crouched down to the door and quietly put his ear to the door, trying to listen to the movement outside.
There was silence.
Zhou Xiaozhou lay on the door like this, his ears were tightly pressed against the door, and his cheeks were stimulated by the slightly cool metal security door, which dissipated his sleepiness.
It was quiet for a moment, and just as Zhou Xiaozhou was about to stand up, the knock on the door rang again!
The knock was already a bit loud this time, and his ears could clearly feel the vibration from the door!
A trace of fear rose slightly in his heart, and Zhou Xiaozhou was a little unsure of how to deal with it.
About two minutes later, there was another knock on the door. Zhou Xiaozhou gritted his teeth and stood up directly, his eyes looking out along the cat's eyes.
Scarlet!
Zhou Xiaozhou covered his mouth with both hands suddenly, opened his eyes wide and took a step back, and fell directly to the ground without standing firmly!
It was a pair of bloodshot eyes!
Trying his best to suppress the screams that were about to overflow his throat, Zhou Xiaozhou almost crawled towards Zhou's father's room.
"Wake up!" He almost knelt on the edge of the bed, grabbed Zhou's father's arm with both hands and shook it wildly.
"Hurry up! There's a ghost out there! Zhou Xiaozhou's voice was crying, because he was afraid of disturbing the things outside, he lowered his volume and roared quietly.
Father Zhou didn't react in the slightest.
His chest was rising and falling normally, if he wasn't still breathing, Zhou Xiaozhou would even think that he was stoned to death by himself!
Zhou Xiaozhou shook his father's body vigorously, and when he saw that he didn't react, he grabbed his hair and pulled, but he pulled his body up and still didn't wake up.
Zhou Xiaozhou, who was anxious and frightened, slapped Zhou's father in the face.
Slept like a dead pig.
At that moment, this was the only thought in Zhou Xiaozhou's mind.
The knocking on the door outside continued, and now it could almost be said that it was slamming the door, and Zhou Xiaozhou even felt that the house, which was not sturdy, was shaking slightly!
What are the neighbors doing?
Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes for a long time. Net Recommendation:
With such a big movement, why didn't anyone come out to check it?
This old house is not soundproof, usually any family who rubs mahjong all night will have someone open the window and scold, and today his door is about to be smashed apart, and there is still silence outside.
With some tears of despair on his face, Zhou Xiaozhou looked at the door that kept ringing and took a few steps back, and climbed directly onto his father's bed.
The frequency of knocks has increased from once every two minutes to once every half a minute.
Zhou Xiaozhou crawled behind his father and sat there with his arms and knees against the wall. He buried his head between his legs and reached out to hold his ears firmly.
The talisman-like knock on the door continued, to the point of non-stop.
The wall behind him trembled with every knock outside, as if it was nailed to Zhou Xiaozhou's heart.
I don't know how long it lasted, Zhou Xiaozhou fell asleep against the wall in such a physically and mentally exhausted situation.
The next morning he was woken up by his father.
Father Zhou gently woke up Zhou Xiaozhou, and looked at his son who was huddled beside him with some worry and anxiety, his face was dry with tears, and he frowned tightly in his sleep.
"A boat? What happened to you? As he spoke, Dad Zhou raised his hand and gently touched the corner of his forehead.
A burst of pain hit, and Father Zhou gasped and put down his hand.
When he woke up this morning, he felt a little dizzy, and his body, especially his legs, were still sore. The son, who is usually not very close to him, slept in his room abnormally, and Zhou's father didn't care about what was going on when he saw him, but first cared about Zhou Xiaozhou's situation.
"Xiaozhou, wake up!"
Under his unremitting call, Zhou Xiaozhou opened his eyes a little confused and blinked.
After adapting to the light, the first thing he saw was Dad Zhou, who looked worried.
His moody father was normal again.
Zhou Xiaozhou breathed a sigh of relief, the tight string loosened, and he opened his mouth and began to cry.
Father Zhou looked at his breathless son who was sitting on the bed crying, and was completely panicked.
"What's wrong, Xiao Zhou? What happened last night! He put his hands on Zhou Xiaozhou's shoulders and shook them slightly.
Zhou Xiaozhou sobbed and told what happened at night.
Father Zhou was also startled when he heard his words, he rubbed the corner of his forehead and asked, "I drank too much last night and don't remember anything, how did I sleep?" Why didn't you hear any movement! ”
He was completely broken, and he had no idea what had happened last night.
"You drank too much and didn't stand still, and you slammed on the door frame." Zhou Xiaozhou's eyes were red, and he gasped and carefully told a lie.
If he had said that he had smashed it with a flower pot, the man would not have strangled him.
Father Zhou believed Zhou Xiaozhou's words without the slightest doubt.
"You said the man knocked on the door last night and knocked all night?" He thought for a moment and asked.
Zhou Xiaozhou nodded, "I looked out from the cat's eye, and there was a red eye outside. He broke out in a cold sweat when he remembered the scene at that time, and his eyes were round, not at all like what a normal person should have.
Father Zhou frowned, put on his shoes and walked out.
He first went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, then quietly walked to the door, took a deep breath and looked out through the cat's eye.
It is a normal familiar corridor.
He looked back at Zhou Xiaozhou, who was always paying attention to his movements, nodded at him, and then opened the door!
It's empty, it's normal, it's still the corridor that is plastered with small advertisements.
