Chapter 71: Liu Lifang's Speculation
I looked at the mountain road in front of me outside the courtyard gate, and I couldn't help but start thinking crankily: "This little devil has been gone for two days, and it is supposed to be time to come back, but now there is no news at all, so something must not have happened." ”
I was a little more worried when I thought about it, but when I thought about it, I couldn't make any mistakes with the clever appearance of the little ghost, maybe it was the wrong way to delay the time, or something else, maybe the trip was delayed.
In fact, what I hope for most now is that the old thing can come, as soon as this guy arrives at night, he is like a ghost, he comes and goes without a trace, and it happens to be the nemesis of the grimace, and with the sensitivity of its ears, coupled with our internal and external defenses, I believe that the grimace will definitely have nowhere to hide at that time.
I thought about it all afternoon, and soon it was dark again, and the little ghost still didn't come back, so I could only wait for the horror to come again.
After dinner, Liu Lifang asked me, "What are you going to do if that grimace reappears tonight?" ”
To be honest, I didn't have a solution to Grimace, so I replied to her and said, "What can I do, it's still like last night." ”
Liu Lifang said, "Little brother, I think we are too passive, this is that we are in the light, the grimace is in the dark, and the second is that we don't know what the purpose of 'him' is, if the grimace is really ill-intentioned, or wants to harm us, we can't prevent it, so I think we should prepare in advance." ”
Liu Lifang's words reminded me that the reason why I couldn't see the grimace clearly twice was because "he" disappeared too fast, and I went out too slowly, so I was escaped by "it" twice.
Thinking of this, I measured the distance from the kang to the window, about five meters, and this distance must be impossible to jump directly from the kang to the window, so to do it quickly, I have to find a way to get close to the window and be able to jump out.
So I made the bedding look like someone was sleeping in it, and I deliberately found a black cloth to put on the pillow for realism, which at first glance really looked like that.
Then I got two more chairs, which looked like they weren't placed, and I was going to hide behind them and make sure I could jump out.
After everything was arranged, I asked Liu Lifang: "What do you think of this matter, there have been grimaces for two days in a row, do you think it will really be haunted?" ”
Liu Lifang pondered for a moment and then said: "I don't think it's a ghost, if it's a ghost, it doesn't need to be so secretive, why don't you just go into the house and eat us, so I think someone is pretending to be a ghost." ”
I agree with Liu Lifang's point of view, I also thought so before, but if someone is playing a prank, then who can have such a fast skill, I practiced twice, I didn't even look at a hair, how can this be explained?
Thinking of this, I told her my doubts, Zhang Lifang shook her head, as if to say that she couldn't figure it out either
After that, we didn't speak, and after being silent for a while, Liu Lifang's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of something, and then she said to me excitedly: "Little brother, don't you think the old man is a little weird?" ”
I didn't know what she meant by asking, so I asked her, "What do you mean, do you think there's something wrong with him?" Or did you think of something? ”
Liu Lifang said: "I just think it's strange, why does that grimace only appear on the window of our house, and for two nights in a row, the old man really didn't hear any movement at all?" Hypothetical, I mean hypothetical! If that grimace is hiding in his house, won't you find anything? ”
Hearing him say this, I was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, slapped my thigh and said: "Yes, why didn't I think of this, the window where the ghost appears is one step away from Qin Hanmin's door, as long as you flash into the house, you can enter the house, and it will take me two seconds to rush out of the house, so if I really enter his house, I really can't see anything." ”
Liu Lifang nodded in agreement, and then said, "So I think the old man has a problem, or it has something to do with the old man's house." ”
This conjecture really scared me, if Qin Hanmin really has a problem, then I'm afraid this matter will not be simple, but looking at him honestly on weekdays, he shouldn't be bored to such a point, just make a few grimaces to scare us if it's okay, what's the point?
Besides, this old man Qin has always provided us with food and shelter, and we have been eating and drinking for nothing these days, and he has not even complained a word, which shows that he is a kind person, and he can't do this kind of thing.
If you want to say that he wants to make money, our pockets are cleaner than our faces, this is clear to him, then it is even more impossible to say that he is killed, we have no grudges in the past and no hatred in the near future, he has no need for this, unless he is crazy and loses his heart, otherwise it is unreasonable
Thinking about it this way, I feel that Qin Hanmin has no reason to do this at all, which can only show that our speculation is not valid.
Liu Lifang and I speculated so randomly, but in the end we still had no clue, and after looking at our watch, it was already past eleven o'clock, so we took our places and prepared to deal a painful blow to the class enemy.
I hid behind a chair, and Liu Lifang hid at the switch of the courtyard light, so that at the same time as I jumped out of the window, I would turn on the courtyard light, so that the grimace would have nowhere to hide and be completely exposed in front of me.
When it was almost twelve o'clock, Liu Lifang and I were nervous, and the two of us stared out the window, waiting for the grimace to appear.
The old clock on the wall, shortly after the twelve o'clock bell, appeared as usual, and as I had guessed, three identical faces appeared, looking side by side into the room.
This time I was prepared in advance, at the moment when the grimace appeared, I didn't hesitate at all, and jumped out of the window, the speed was extremely fast, and the courtyard light was also turned on by Liu Lifang at this time, and the outside was suddenly bright.
I thought that "he" didn't run away this time, and even if he did, I would be able to find his traces, but who knew that the moment I jumped out of the window, the three faces suddenly disappeared out of thin air, as if they hadn't reappeared......
I froze in place, stupidly looking at the window, I couldn't react at all, what was going on! Where did Grimace go? How can you say that if you disappear, you will disappear!
At the speed I just had, even a ghost probably wouldn't have been able to disappear so quickly, but that's the way it is, the three grimaces disappeared at the same time, without a trace to follow, just so neatly and completely disappeared
Liu Lifang didn't know when she had walked out of the door, she patted me on the shoulder, and I reacted.
She nervously asked me, "How is it, do you see clearly?" ”
I shook my head and didn't speak, my eyes still fixed on the window.
At that moment, I really wanted to scold my mother, if I wasn't afraid of waking up Qin Hanmin, I would have already scolded.
0202 Just when I was stunned, Qin Hanmin's door suddenly opened, and then I heard Qin Hanmin's old voice say, "Is it Xiao Li?" ”
0202 I was startled by the sound of the door opening, and hurriedly took a few steps back, and after seeing that it was Qin Hanmin, I breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly said: "It's me!" It's me! ”
Qin Hanmin walked down the steps slowly and asked me, "Why don't you sleep yet, what are you tossing in this courtyard so late?" Why did Miss Liu come out, your injury is not healed, aren't you afraid of catching a cold when you stand outside in the middle of the night? ”
I arched my hand and said: "Old man, I'm sorry, I didn't expect to wake you up, just now Lifang wanted to go to the toilet, I was a little scared and let me go with her, but as soon as I put on my shoes, I saw a few figures outside the window shaking, so I hurried out to check, but after we came out, those people disappeared, and I don't know where they were hiding, I was still wondering!" ”
0202 After listening to me, Qin Hanmin's face suddenly changed greatly, he trembled and said with trembling hands: "Are there a few white faces you see?" ”
When I heard this, I nodded hurriedly, thinking, "How does he know, could it be that he also saw a grimace?" Or did he already know about it? ”
Thinking of this, I asked him suspiciously, "Uncle, how do you know, did you also see it?" ”
Qin Hanmin waved his hand and said: "Hurry back to the house, don't ask nonsense, our yard is not very peaceful, you just didn't have anything happening at that time, remember, you should go out as little as possible at night in the future, if you go to the toilet, just find a urinal." With that, he turned and went back to the house.
Hearing him say this, I was even more puzzled, he said that this courtyard is not peaceful, why is it not peaceful, is it because of the appearance of grimaces?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly stopped him, and asked him with a puzzled expression, "Can you tell me more clearly, what is the grimace all about, and have you seen it before?" ”
After listening to my question, Qin Hanmin shook his head, did not answer my question again, and then walked straight back to the house, and said without replying before closing the door: "Don't ask again, you better leave here tomorrow."
