Chapter 23: Deception

But this confrontation is also an extremely draining affair.

When people are tense and always vigilant, it is easy for their brains to swell, drowsy, and require great will to support.

Time seemed to pass very slowly, every minute and second seemed to be infinitely stretched, and I was like a wounded little wolf, looking around vigilantly, guarding against everything, but at the same time I felt that I was exhausted to the limit, and I was about to sleep.

But I couldn't sleep.

I only have this clear point of view, I don't know anything, but whether it is at school, at work, or at night, I have heard a lot about the so-called "ghost bed", and I am afraid that after I go to sleep, "it" will achieve its ultimate goal.

I've persevered so far.

However, when the thought of falling asleep came to mind, the air around it seemed to be less cold, and the vague laughter disappeared, all as if to suggest that it was gone.

I was already in a trance, and in the fog, I could still hear the "groaning" of the tenants downstairs putting their children to sleep.

There is only a stubborn will left to tell myself that I must not sleep.

For this reason, I almost bit my lower lip, pinched the back of my hand, and even the glass picture frame containing my grandmother's photo had a layer of sweat on my palms.

"South Wind, come on." I kept praying in my heart, because I didn't know how long I could last, but my consciousness was getting hazy and hazy.

I already felt that my grandmother stood by the door in a blur, and began to sing to me lovingly the tune that used to lull me to sleep when I was a child.

It's so warm, so nostalgic, grandma's arms, the little embroidered quilt that covers me.

No, I'll just go to sleep, right? Also happy.

At last, my will was broken, and I surrendered to some kind of happiness that I could not resist, and at that moment there was a loud bang at the door, and I suddenly woke up from this indulgent happiness.

I looked around vigilantly, but I heard a creepy howl of annoyance and politeness unusually clearly, a hundred times clearer than any previous laughter, as if it had come from the table less than two meters away from me.

It's not gone yet!

The hairs on my back stood on end, and I was about to fall asleep.

But before I had time to be afraid, there was another loud bang at the door, and then, my fragile wooden door was finally broken, and a fiery figure broke in, and then frantically waved the things he was holding with both hands, and shouted in an exaggerated voice: "Come out, come out for the old lady!" Today, your Nan Niangniang is prepared, let's fight to the death! ”

It was the south wind, and I was suddenly at ease.

And I don't know why, as her hand kept waving, a reassuring and peaceful aura slowly diffused in the room, different from the strange tranquility that made people want to sleep before, it was a real peace, and even the coldness in the room was dispelled a lot.

"South wind." I was relieved a little, and I couldn't help but shout the south wind with all my might.

At this time, I realized that this battle of wills had almost exhausted the strength of my whole body, and the original wet water on my body had been replaced by my sticky sweat stains, and even the flowing sea was attached to my forehead.

Hearing my shout, Nanfeng threw away the object in his hand with a "bang", ran to me a little anxiously, and grabbed my hand: "Xiaoshuang, are you okay?" ”
