Chapter Twenty-Three: The Shadow of the Red
The knife moved suddenly, and Tong Xiaodong felt that his neck was a little numb, but he didn't feel any way. Then, all he felt was something running down his neck, hot and sticky into his clothes.
After a while, the tingling feeling was gone, and in its place was an irresistible feeling of exhaustion.
There was also a large amount of blood mist in his sight, and the blood mist was spurting blood from his throat!
Red, with the breath of life.
Tong Xiaodong fell to the ground, his eyes rolled up like a dead fish, as if he had completely lost the breath of life.
……
At six o'clock in the morning, Zhang Rucun woke up from her sleep, she habitually picked up the mobile phone next to her pillow, and then looked at the time on it.
"Why did you wake up so early today?"
Zhang Rucun sighed, and there was an indescribable strangeness in his heart. She hates waking up early, just as she hates being home alone.
Her subject was on a business trip for half a month, so during this time she had to get up alone, wash up, and squeeze the damn bus alone.
But it can't be helped, who told her not to drive.
After thinking about it in bed for a while, Zhang Rucun got off the bed extremely reluctantly. I walked to the window and waved the curtains open, but there was no sunlight pouring in.
It was a cloudy day, and of course it could be a hazy day, but the weather wasn't very good.
She is a sales assistant in a company, and her usual job is to collect the source of customers, and then assign customers to some of the sales under her hands. Although the work is not difficult to do, it is very tedious, and she is busy a lot of the time.
She goes to work at half past eight every day, but because her home is very close to the company, she will never be late as long as she leaves the house 20 minutes early.
Standing in front of the window and looking down the downstairs for a while, perhaps she felt that she had come out of that state full of sleep, so she did not linger any longer. He yawned and turned and walked to the bathroom.
Habitually turn on the bathroom light, habitually pick up the cup for brushing teeth, habitually turn on the faucet to fill the cup...... Yiqiē looks the same as before, but the feeling that seems to be shrouded in a shadow in my heart still lingers.
"What's wrong with me today? Why is I in a bad mood early in the morning. ”
Thinking like this in his heart, Zhang Rucun's gaze, which had been staring at the mirror, suddenly paused, because at that moment, he seemed to see a man in red walking behind him.
After reacting, Zhang Rucun's body had goosebumps, which was really cold from the inside out.
"Am I dazzled?"
Zhang Rucun was stunned. Then she walked out of the bathroom with her toothcup and toothbrush still stained with toothpaste.
If it were ordinary people, she might not care, but she is a coward who is extremely timid, so every time she is at home, whenever there is a disturbance in the house, there is some abnormal noise that can trigger her association, she will be scared until she is really confirmed that it is okay.
"Don't say it, but love association. Usually I am more willing to watch horror movies, this is not what death is. ”
Zhang Rucun couldn't help but think of what his husband said to her every time she watched a horror movie.
Yes, she is timid and loves association, but because she is very curious, she is very willing to watch horror and suspense movies. And this. It also deepened her fear of abnormal noises and some uncertain light and shadow.
Back in the bedroom, Zhang Rucun searched carefully along the window, during which she was even more careful to open the cabinet in the bedroom. It wasn't until she was sure that every place where people might be hiding was normal that she retreated with confidence.
When she came out, she went back to the living room. Her living room is large, but there is nothing left except for a TV, a sofa, and a fish tank, and there is no place for zài to hide people.
Zhang Rucun took a general look, and then walked directly through the living room to the kitchen.
There are more cabinets in the kitchen than in other places. Above, below, tableware, and a few gibberish little things.
Zhang Rucun was not careless about these places, and it was not until she completely searched all the rooms in her house that she went back to the bathroom with confidence. After all, her teeth are only half brushed, and her face hasn't even been washed yet.
Back in the bathroom, Zhang Rucun still habitually stood in front of the mirror, narcissistically admiring his face while brushing his teeth carefully. However, this process did not last long, and a strange red shadow flashed in the mirror.
"Ahh
Zhang Rucun was taken aback, and hurriedly turned his head to look into the living room, but the living room was empty, and there was half a figure there.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Rucun felt that she was a little nervous today, but she saw a red figure twice, once it may be a hallucination, but will it still be a hallucination twice?
Thinking of this, Zhang Rucun's heart suddenly rose with a strong fear, she is at home by herself now, her husband is on a business trip, if there is really a bad person coming in, what should she do?
I don't want to be okay, but the more I think about it, the more chaotic my heart becomes, and the more chills I feel all over my body.
Zhang Rucun put the tooth cup on the sink casually, and then she ran back to the living room in fear and picked up her mobile phone from the bed.
Picking up the phone, Zhang Rucun's first thought was her husband who was on a business trip, so without thinking about it, she directly found the number and dialed it.
The mobile phone rang several times, and his husband's somewhat confused voice came out of it:
"Hey......?"
"Husband, are you sleeping?"
"yes, it's only a little while."
"When are you coming back?"
"Didn't I just go on a business trip yesterday, and I'll be back in about thirteen or fourteen days. If you don't believe me, you can go to our company and ask. ”
"I'm not suspicious of you. I...... Just a little scared. ”
"Don't tell me, are you looking at those things again?"
"What the hell, it's a horror and suspense movie." Hearing her husband's voice, Zhang Rucun was not so afraid in her heart. As for her husband, he raised his voice a little and said:
"To the point, I'm still sleepy!"
"People are just scared, just now when I was brushing my teeth, I always felt a red figure walking behind me."
"Don't talk nonsense, I think you're just born neurotic. As long as you are at home, you can hit the ghost 100%. Her husband suddenly laughed when he heard it on the phone:
"Actually, I'm ready to answer a hellish call from you one day. This time it's red, and tomorrow it's going to be green. (To be continued......)
