Wang Laixi, the village head, reluctantly told Li Bing and the others that he was stunned when he saw the door in his son and daughter-in-law's room wide open, and the furniture had been moved crookedly to the courtyard at the door.

But when he looked closely, he found no sign of the thief's visit, for nothing was missing.

Wang Laixi was puzzled in his heart, seeing the wet on the ground, he didn't understand why such a strange thing happened. He moved the furniture back into his room, found a new lock, and locked the door to the room.

That night, Wang Laixi and his wife, who were thinking about their hearts, couldn't sleep and tossed and turned in bed.

In the middle of the night, the two began to get confused. Suddenly, his wife gently pushed Wang Laixi and said, "Old man, did you hear any strange noises?" ”

Wang Laixi had already heard it, but he was afraid and didn't dare to say it. Hearing his wife say this, he whispered: "Old woman, do you listen to that voice, is it from the other side of your son's room?" ”

His wife nodded in horror and hugged Wang Laixi tightly. Wang Laixi was also trembling with fear, but the people in the mountains were already poor, and it was not easy to create some belongings, so he was even more worried that there were really thieves who came to steal.

Wang Laixi stiffened his scalp, and the big head dared to cough deliberately. Unexpectedly, as soon as he coughed, the strange sound suddenly disappeared.

At this time, Wang Laixi believed that the strange sound was not a ghost, but a thief. His hanging heart was only slightly relieved, and he picked up a wooden stick that had been prepared to be placed beside the bed, and squeezed it tightly in his hand.

Unexpectedly, the strange sound stopped for a moment and remembered it again. Wang Laixi felt sorry for those belongings, but he didn't dare to really face the thief, after all, he was old, if he really ran into a thief, he would definitely suffer a big loss if he fought with him, and he might even lose his life.

He remembered the saying 'being a thief has a weak heart', and secretly encouraged himself in his heart, and then coughed again. The voice stopped again, and Wang Laixi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly lit the kerosene lamp.

As soon as the lights came on, Wang Laixi's courage suddenly strengthened a lot. He even began to hum a mountain village tune, and his wife understood that this was Wang Laixi emboldening himself.

Wang Laixi deliberately said loudly: "Old woman, there is not much oil in the kerosene lamp, is there still a bucket in my son's room?" ”

His wife was inexplicable and blurted out: "Old man, the kerosene is not in his son's room!" ”

Wang Laixi couldn't help but shake his head, but still said loudly: "Old woman, why didn't I find it?" I remember that there seemed to be a bucket in my son's room, and I dressed and went to find it. ”

Only then did his wife understand that the old man's approach was not for himself, but deliberately for the thief, with the purpose of scaring the thief away.

Wang Laixi hummed a song while deliberately knocking the wooden stick in his hand on the ground. After a tea time, there was no movement in his son's room, so Wang Laixi hardened, holding a kerosene lamp in his left hand and a wooden stick in his right hand, and slowly grinded it into the courtyard.

The yard was quiet, except for a few night bugs chirping occasionally. Wang Laixi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the door of his son's room was closed tightly.

With a sigh of relief, his eyes suddenly widened. He was astonished to see that water was bubbling out of his son's room.

How can there be water in my son's room? Wang Laixi was amazed. Fortunately, there was no trace of the door lock being picked, and there was no suspicious thing in the yard, so Wang Laixi was bold and trembled and found the key on the door of his son's room.

When he finally opened his son's room, a large stream of water suddenly rushed out, causing Wang Laixi to scream 'wow, wow', and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Hearing the old man's voice, Wang Laixi's wife was so anxious that she couldn't be afraid anymore, so she rushed from the house to the courtyard and shouted, "Old man, what's wrong with you?" ”

It was dark in the courtyard, and his wife was so frightened that she cried, but she heard Wang Laixi humming a few times in the dark. But when I heard Wang Laixi shouting, "Old woman, I'm fine, I slipped out of the water." The oil lamp is gone, so you quickly find a match and light it. ”

Wang Laixi's wife was a little relieved and muttered, "Alas! I don't know when we will be able to get electricity in the mountains. Look at the other side of the mountain, it turned out to be poorer than ours, just because it has been developed into a scenic spot, and now there is not only electricity, but also a TV, a washing machine or something. People had a prosperous life there, which was really enviable. ”

Wang Laixi stood up from the ground with a wry smile, he understood that his wife was talking to herself, and she was also cheering herself up. Wang Laixi moved his muscles and bones, but fortunately, he was not injured, except for the wet one, there was no discomfort on his body.

At this time, his wife also polished the match and came to Wang Laixi. The two finally found the kerosene lamp rolling in the ground, but fortunately, on the glass kerosene lamp, only the glass windshield on the outside was broken, the bottle was still intact, and there was still a small half of kerosene inside.

When the kerosene lamp was lit again, the old couple was surprised to find that the wooden furniture in their son's room had been moved to the door of the room.

On the floor of the room, clear water was still slowly flowing outward. Apparently, it was a flood in the son's room that floated all the furniture and moved it to the door.

Fortunately, Wang Laixi put a new lock on the room today, so he didn't rush the furniture out of the room.

The strange news in Wang Laixi's house soon spread throughout Xiaowangzhuang. What's even more amazing is that the same thing happens almost every night, whenever someone approaches the room at night, there is no movement inside.

Wang Laixi had to move all the furniture out of the room and stack it in the westernmost room.

For a while, rumors of haunting in Wang Laixi's house quickly spread, and people in the small mountain village were suddenly panicked.

During a routine trip to the countryside for township cadres, they came to Xiaowangzhuang and heard about this strange thing. The leaders of the township and town governments attached great importance to this matter, and in order to appease the people, the township and town leaders wrote a report on the matter and reported it to the higher departments.

This incident immediately caused a sensation, not only the attention of the county, but also the interest of the provincial geological survey experts.

After the investigation team jointly composed of multiple departments was stationed in Xiaowangzhuang, a lot of equipment was used, and even monitoring was installed, but the reason for the inexplicable flood in the room of the village chief Wang Laixi's son was not found.

Later, it was the experts from the geological department who gave an answer, which brought the investigation to an end. Geologists explain that groundwater is easy to accumulate in the mountains, and once the conditions are ripe, the groundwater will seep out of the surface and collect into flash floods.

Wang Laixi's son's room may have happened to be built in a weak spot on the surface of the groundwater, so that from time to time a large amount of water seeped out, and eventually all the furniture floated.
