32.Hostel (1)
After the car turned off and locked the door, we walked to the east of the aunt's house, where the lights were already on, and the aunt beckoned us to sit on a few benches. She also told us about the situation, saying that there were not so many rooms and beds in the house, only one bedroom was empty, which was lived by her married daughter.
So, I was put into her daughter's room, and the rest of the people were bunked on the ground outside. I was busy for a while, and I didn't lie down until nearly two o'clock in the morning, and I didn't feel sleepy, but my body was very tired. Tossing and turning for a long time, I couldn't sleep, my eyes were very sore, I could only close my eyes and pretend to sleep, suddenly there was a very thin footstep at the door of the house, I listened to it, and it seemed to be gone.
After more than ten minutes, the footsteps started again, and this time I heard it clearly. Suspicious, he got up and walked to the door, and heard the footsteps as if he were walking east. If I remember correctly, the location on the east side is the master bedroom that the aunt said. My room and her master bedroom were both on the second floor, and Sheng Shiyao and Zhou Tong were arranged to rest downstairs.
Since I lay down now, it should have been more than an hour, almost around three o'clock in the morning, there was a sound of snoring downstairs from time to time, as if it was sent by Zhou Tong, he should also be very tired.
After a little hesitation, I pushed the door and walked out to the master bedroom, afraid that my aunt would have any difficulties and wanted to ask me for help, thinking that I was asleep and embarrassed to shout. I can't sleep anyway, so I might as well go check it out.
When I approached the door of the master bedroom, I really heard a voice from inside, although the aunt did not mention her wife, and we only saw her when we came, but when I knocked on the door in the middle of the night, maybe her wife woke up from a deep sleep, and it was estimated that this would be talking to her wife.
I'm going to listen to it, and if it's okay, I'll go back to the house, and I won't disturb the rest of the couple; If there's something going on, knock on the door and ask if there's anything you can do to help. From where I stood, I could faintly see a light in the crack of the door, but the sound of conversation inside was drowned out by the snoring from below.
I looked ahead and saw a window at the end of the hallway, and the light was shining through the hidden curtains, but for some reason, the light flickered. He was wearing a pair of canvas sneakers, so he was basically silent on the ground, and when he stood by the window, he found that the curtains were not fully closed, revealing a gap. Looking through the gap, you can see some of the furnishings in the bedroom, and the bed is right in it.
To my astonishment, there was no one in the bed, and what I thought was a light candle was no wonder that it flickered from time to time, and the light came from a position close to my side of the wall.
The aunt's voice came again, and this time I heard it very clearly, and it turned out that she was standing by the window.
"Osmanthus, Mom has found a good home for you this time, don't be stubborn anymore, listen to Mom, do you know?"
Hey? Didn't the aunt say that her daughter was married? How do you still live at home? Then why don't you live in my house? What's even more strange is that the aunt kept repeating this sentence. I stood to the side, and looked in diagonally through the gap, and sure enough, I saw my aunt facing the wall by the window, her eyes drooping slightly, so it seemed that there should be someone sitting against the wall, probably her daughter.
Maybe it's another hard thing to say, I thought so, and planned to go back to the room quietly, so as not to disturb their mother and daughter's heart-to-heart conversation. But at the moment when I raised my feet, suddenly the aunt reached out and picked up something, I was stunned, and something strange crossed in my heart.
Spatial distance! Yes, the position where the aunt is standing should be less than half a meter from the wall, and if there is a person sitting or lying down in front of her, the position is too narrow. Unless the person was sticking to the wall and talking to her, I never heard her daughter Osmanthus open her mouth.
Leaning low, he leaned close to the gap in the window, trying to see what the aunt was holding in her hand.
