"It was really nice last night, I didn't hear a knock on the door!" I had a bite to eat at Zhao Damin's house in the morning, and I was ready to wait for the bearded hunter to come to me.

Zhao Damin took a sip of porridge and said, "It's not what's wrong, it's also weird, if you want to say that this knock on the door has to continue fast."

It's been more than half a year, no matter what the weather was, it couldn't stop the knock in the middle of the night, but this time it's good, yesterday's thunder stopped the knock! ”

"It must have been the one who knocked on the door who was also afraid of this thunder, so he hid!" Feng Pingping also interjected.

"By the way, Brother Zhao, did you hear the wolf howl last night?" I'm very curious about the wailing that lasted for a long time last night, it was loud, far better than the knock on the door, Zhao Damin just had bad legs and feet, so there was no reason not to hear it.

When Zhao Damin heard what I said, he laughed and said, "What kind of wolf howls, if there are so many wolves around here, how can we still live in this village?" Don't you have to let that wolf scare you away! ”

"What's that? Screaming too scary? Feng Pingping asked.

"Fox!" Zhao Damin chirped and said: "Don't say that the beard was really here yesterday, there were a lot of wild foxes in our area before, and I haven't heard anyone mention it in the past two years, and I thought there was nothing to do, but the voice called last night, let alone a hundred or ten!" If I hadn't been able to climb the mountain with my legs and feet, I would have to find a way to walk up the mountain with that bearded man today! By the way, brother, I heard that the fox's fur is particularly cold, my legs are frozen and hurt badly in winter, you follow the beard, if he beats more foxes, you can discuss with him, can you give me a fox skin, I can make a fur knee pad or something, to protect against the cold! ”

I saw that it was very difficult for Zhao Damin to walk without crutches, presumably if it was winter, the road would be slippery, and it would definitely be even more difficult to walk, so I promised: "If he fights too much, I will definitely find a way to get you a one!" ”

Zhao Damin thanked him, drank another bowl of porridge, and heard someone knocking on the door outside the house, thinking that the bearded man also heard the cry of the fox all over the mountains last night, and now that it is dawn, he can no longer bear it, so he came to me as soon as possible.

Zhao Damin gestured to me and asked me to help open the door, I had good legs and feet, and I arrived at the door in a few steps, and when I pushed the door, I saw that the bearded man standing outside the door was not the beard yesterday, but a big aunt who looked like she was in her fifties, and the aunt had never seen me, and she was very surprised to see me: "Isn't this Zhao Damin's brother's house?" Who are you? ”

I saw that she was here to find Zhao Damin, so I didn't say much, and said directly: "Brother Zhao is in the house!" ”

The eldest aunt bypassed me and walked straight into the house, Zhao Damin was overjoyed to see the eldest aunt, and hurriedly jumped off the ground, as if he had forgotten about his bad legs and feet, as soon as he landed, he leaned forward, fortunately I also followed, stretched out his hand to support him, lest he fall out of the upper body again.

Zhao Damin took the crutches and stood firmly, and then smiled: "Aunt Li came so early, is there something?" Come and sit. As he spoke, he made a way out and let the eldest woman sit on the kang.

"Didn't you ask me to find you a job before! Yesterday, my old son said that the old man who was working in their factory was gone, and if there was a lack of a watch, I wouldn't think of you! The thunder was so loud last night that I didn't dare to come out, so I'm not looking for you today! The big lady moved her buttocks, sat down on the edge of the kang, grabbed the flatbread on the table, and took a bite.

Zhao Damin said: "That's good, then when will I go?" ”

"The sooner the better! My old son said that this job is not tiring at all, there are a lot of people to do, if you don't pay attention to it, it will be none of your business! The eldest aunt swallowed the flatbread and added.

Zhao Damin smiled: "That's no problem, I'm a single person, I can leave at any time!" ”

"That's the best!" The eldest aunt also giggled: "Make more money, so I can please a wife!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Damin's old face suddenly turned red, and he smiled embarrassedly: "I am a poor clank in my family, and I am still disabled, who wants to marry me!" And our village has been very strange recently, who would dare to marry if he is a normal person! ”

"Yes! I don't know what demons and monsters we have offended in this messy ruins, and they have made trouble for our village every night! The eldest aunt put down the flatbread and sighed: "There was a strange person from Xigangzi yesterday, have you heard of it?" ”

"What weirdo? I have bad legs and feet, I stay at home every day, and I don't know anything! Zhao Damin's eyes widened, as if he had heard major news that he hadn't heard in many years.

"What, I heard that a young man came to Xigangzi yesterday, saying that he came from other places to investigate, and then asked where to live, and then somehow found that haunted house!" The eldest aunt paused after speaking, and moved her eyes to me and Feng Pingping, as if this haunted house was a major secret of their village, and it must not be known by outsiders.

Zhao Damin also glanced at the two of us and said, "It's okay, these are all my relatives, Aunt Li, just say it!" ”

"You said that the man was weird, he looked quite normal, and then when he saw that haunted house, he rushed into it! No one can scream out! I also said that it was going to rain soon, so I spent the night in that haunted house to take shelter from the rain! The aunt said that she was a little afraid of herself, and paused a little before continuing: "It's also strange, the sky was still sunny at that time, and it started to rain after a while, and their people in Xigangzi couldn't let the rain get out there, so they all went home, and I don't know what happened to the strange man now!" ”

"Oh my god, then this strange man's mouth is powerful enough, and it will rain when he says it's raining! I'm up to date with the weather forecast! Zhao Damin's eyes widened more and more, obviously hearing a "major news".

I couldn't help but be curious, and stuck out my neck and asked, "What about ...... What kind of haunted house is that? ”

The eldest aunt gave me a blank look and said, "Don't ask about everything, it's not good!" ”

Seeing that she didn't want to tell me and couldn't ask any more, I pulled my neck back.

"Alright then, you quickly pack your things and hit the road! It just so happens that my old son is driving a car, and you will take his car to the factory together in a while! The eldest aunt explained a few more words, and without waiting for Zhao Damin to reply, she patted her ass and left.

After I saw her leave, I hurriedly asked Zhao Damin again: "Brother Zhao, what is that haunted house?" ”
