Chapter 7: The Suspicious Ghost
I began to think it was a hallucination, so I held my breath and listened carefully.
But then, there were three more "bang bang bang" sounds, which were very clear, and I immediately asked, "Is it Xiao Yi?" Something? ”
But it was quiet outside, there was no echo, I felt a little inexplicable, this house, the doors and windows have been closed, it is impossible for anyone else to come in, if someone knocks on the door, it can only be Zhao Xiaoyi, but why did she knock on the door but didn't speak?
With huge doubts, I got up and opened the door, but it was empty outside, where was the shadow of a person, and then looked at Zhao Xiaoyi's room, the red wooden door was tightly closed, and there was no sound in the room, it seemed that she was asleep.
I wanted to knock on the door to find out, but I remembered the embarrassment I had before, and I was afraid that she would misunderstand, so I dismissed the idea.
I was a little skeptical, it was really a hallucination, otherwise, how could I not hear someone moving around before and after knocking on the door?
But I don't think it's possible, because I've always had a lot of willpower, and even when I'm drunk, I'm very conscious, and I can even remember the exact number of the taxi that took me home.
I went back to the room and picked up my mobile phone to make a call to Zhao Xiaoyi, but when I saw that the time shown on it was already 11:58, I dispelled this idea, thinking that it would be better to meet tomorrow and ask again.
Lying on the bed, I began to think about this again, could it be that just now, it was the sound of something else, such as some small animal, like an air toad, a vole, or something that slammed into the door.
But I don't think it seems like it, because the knock on the door is too rhythmic, and it is definitely knocked by people.
Suddenly, a clever person thought of another possibility, could it be that the person who knocked on the door just now was not a human, but a ghost?
But isn't it, stealth, without a trace, by creating some kind of illusion to scare the living, what is it if it is not a ghost?
Moreover, there is a very high possibility that it is Sister Zhang's ghost brother, it is estimated that he was taught a lesson by the old lady, and he was not angry, so he followed, and he didn't dare to clash with me head-on, so he had to knock on the door to harass him.
But suddenly I felt that with that man's gloomy personality, it shouldn't be so boring, right? Either you won't come, if you dare to come, there will definitely be some big moves, and it will never be such a small pediatrics as knocking on the door.
After thinking about it, I still think that the person who knocked on the door is most likely Zhao Xiaoyi, so what does this little girl mean?
Thinking about it, I fell asleep until the light of day, and suddenly I felt that what had happened last night was a little ridiculous, like a grotesque dream.
I hurriedly got dressed and got up, opened the door and went out, just in time to meet Zhao Xiaoyi also coming out of the room, but the strange thing is that when she saw me, it was like seeing a stranger, and she ignored me at all.
I took the initiative to say hello: "Xiaoyi, morning, how did you sleep last night?" ”
What was embarrassing was that the little girl was still silent and walked straight down the stairs, which puzzled me and even worried that she had something abnormal, such as being ghosted.
Yes, the one who knocked on the door last night, if it was really a ghost, because he was afraid of me, a pure yang body, he would naturally turn to find Zhao Xiaoyi's trouble.
Of course, perhaps, this girl has something to do with me, and deliberately ignored me, I regret it a little, I shouldn't have made those jokes with her last night.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly followed downstairs, if there is any misunderstanding, I must quickly explain clearly, otherwise this will have to work together for a long time, so what should I do?
I went downstairs and found that Zhao Xiaoyi was not in the office, not in the kitchen, not in the restaurant, and even in the bathroom I couldn't hear any movement, so I was inexplicably worried, this girl wouldn't be going back to the city alone, right?
I hurriedly ran outside the house, and when I saw that the car outside was still there, I was relieved, this was the only means of transportation back to the city, and she didn't drive away, which means that she didn't go far.
At this time, I heard something moving behind the house, so I hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, I saw Zhao Xiaoyi and the big yellow dog racing leopard together, but what she said made me cry and laugh a little.
She stroked the leopard's head and said, "Good dog, will you protect your sister?" ”
I don't know why, at that moment, my heart was so sad, and even full of self-blame, as a big man, is my credibility really not as good as a dog?
Although, we have to admit that in terms of loyalty, people are really inferior to a dog in many cases, but when a beautiful woman is between the two, she would rather choose a dog to trust, for a human man, how great irony and sadness is that?
What's more, I, Zhou Shen, think I am still a man who stands up to the sky, since I was born, except for stealing seven green persimmons from Uncle Liang's family and eight red dates from Uncle Yin's family when I was a child, I basically haven't done anything wrong.
So, I stood in place and shouted at the little girl's back: "Hey, classmate Zhao Xiaoyi, it's not like that, you don't have confidence in Brother Zhou like this?" I think there must have been some misunderstanding between us, say it and figure it out, okay? ”
Zhao Xiaoyi turned his head suddenly, his beautiful eyes were full of tears, but his tone was very stubborn: "Mr. Zhou, I trust you so much, but you still want to be like that, you are simply too disappointed to me, if you still have a little conscience, hurry up and drive me back to the company, otherwise, I will call the chairman now." ”
As Zhao Xiaoyi spoke, he picked up his mobile phone, looking like he was about to dial, and he was close to Saibao, as if he was afraid that I would suddenly attack her.
I was a little stunned, what could be the matter that made this little girl suddenly react so strongly, and even seemed to be a little mentally abnormal.
As a big man, in this case, I calmed down and said as nicely as possible: "Girl, no matter what happens, I dare to guarantee that it must be a misunderstanding, you explain the situation first, and I will prove it to you, okay?" ”
Who knows, as soon as he heard this, Zhao Xiaoyi's mood became even more impatient: "Prove, how to prove?" Last night, the whole room was just the two of us, not you, who else could it be? ”
I'm a little shocked, could it be that last night, this girl was raped?
But then, I dispelled this thought, if it was really rape, the room was so close, I couldn't have heard any movement, and besides, she shouldn't have just reacted like this now, I guess I would have called the police a long time ago.
In a flash of inspiration, it occurred to me that she had heard six strange knocks on the door last night, just like me, and suspected that I was planning something wrong.
So, I asked tentatively: "Xiao Yi, I understand, did you hear a strange knock on the door last night?" ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as I said this, Zhao Xiaoyi suddenly stood up, stretched out a little finger like a green onion and pointed at my nose, and his voice soared directly an octave: "You admit it, right?" Do you dare to say that last night, the person who knocked on the door was not you? ”
I shook my head innocently: "Of course it's not me, it's okay to be idle, why am I knocking on my door?" I thought you were looking for me for something, so I opened the door to take a look, but I didn't see you, so I went back to sleep. ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Xiaoyi heard this, his tone became even more firm: "That's right, it seems that I have absolutely not wronged you, it was nearly twelve o'clock last night, you first opened your door, and then came and knocked on my door, right?" ”
I shook my head resolutely: "No, absolutely nothing... Of course, I had the idea of knocking on your door, but I was afraid of disturbing your sleep, so I didn't really knock..."
"Okay..."Before I finished speaking, Zhao Xiaoyi interrupted me, twitched his little nose, and teased with disdain: "Mr. Zhou, don't pretend, I'm not deaf, the key is, just knock on the door, how can I ask, you don't squeak, just knock and knock, and it lasted for half an hour, you dare to say that you have no intentions?" ”
I didn't know which nerve was straight, so I asked a little stupidly, "Then you girl, what can I do?" ”
Zhao Xiaoyi immediately replied confidently: "I guess you want to enter my room while I open the door to check, and..."
