Chapter 19: Who's Spying?
Pushing open the door, I couldn't help but shiver, is the climate cooling? Or did I not go home for two days and I didn't quite fit in?
Because of some fear in my heart, I quickly turned on the light, and under the fluorescent light, my cabin was still the same as I had left two days ago.
The clothes that didn't have time to be washed were put in the dirty laundry basket, and the packs of instant noodles that I didn't have time to buy at the supermarket were piled up on the table.
At the bedside, an enlarged picture of my grandmother was still smiling lovingly at me.
This familiarity made me breathe a sigh of relief.
I walked into the house, put down my luggage, and prepared to pack up and wash up, and hurry to bed, after all, I have to go to work tomorrow.
After taking clean underwear and pajamas, I was just about to go downstairs to the bathroom to take a shower, when I suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned my head to the photo of my grandmother and said, "Don't worry, grandma." I am fine. ”
This is a habit that I have developed in the past few years, because when my grandmother is in her last breath, she holds my hand and can't let go of me, until I promise her that even if she goes, I will report safety to her every day, and she slowly closes her eyes.
Now, when I think of this scene, my heart no longer throbs, but I just report safety, which is a comfort to my grandmother and a comfort to myself.
I thought everything would be as usual, but I didn't expect that when I was reporting safety today, I felt that the lights suddenly dimmed.
In the photo, the grandmother, who was originally loving and smiling, suddenly became melancholy and worried, and in a trance, I saw that she seemed to be waving her hand and asking me to go quickly.
"Bang", the basin in my hand fell to the ground at once, not surprisingly, there was a scolding sound downstairs, in a panic, I quickly bent down to pick up the basin.
As soon as I looked up, the fluorescent lights were bright and dazzling, and the grandmother in the photo was still the same as in the photo.
I couldn't help but rub my eyes, and after carefully putting down my hand, there was no further change.
"Lin Xiaoshuang, you still have a lot of things to do, don't be suspicious." I whispered to myself, ignoring the opinions of the tenants, and hummed a song in a low voice, trying my best to make it easier.
Surprisingly, the singing didn't disturb any of the tenants, and there was no swearing until I went downstairs and started to wash up.
Perhaps because of the reassuring temperature of the hot water, I had forgotten about the little episode and started to wash up calmly.
It is fortunate that a place like an urban village can have a relatively clean bathroom, but this bathroom has a window facing outward, which is somewhat inconvenient.
On weekdays, dark curtains are drawn here, but I didn't wash up for a long time, and I felt that there was something wrong with the curtains that I didn't pay much attention to on weekdays.
I carefully stopped to wash up, and when I looked closely, I found that the whole curtain was shaking slightly, as if there was a person hiding behind the curtain.
Is anyone peeping? This is what I subconsciously thought, after all, this is an urban village with a mixture of fish and dragons!
I didn't care about getting wet, so I quickly put on my pajamas, walked lightly to the curtain, opened the curtain, and yelled: "Who is it?" ”
When the curtain was opened, the first thing I saw was a white hand dangling past the window.
Then, the wind seemed to be blowing outside, and the vegetables and fruit vines planted by the landlord in the courtyard were shaking, and another black shadow seemed to flash and rush to the corner.
I couldn't stand the stimulation anymore and screamed.
This finally disturbed the sensitive landlady and the tenants upstairs, and the whole courtyard was lively for a while.
