Chapter 049: The Third Room
"Auntie, I'm Rayong-classmate, and we met last time. Read the full text of the latest chapter: "I introduced myself.
"Hmm." Luo Yong's mother replied blankly, then dodged out of the way, and Su Xi and I walked in.
When I entered the house, I found that the room was not completely dark, and there was an oil lamp in each of the two innermost corners of the hall, which I had seen, and it was usually used only by the dead in the house, and it was used to guide the souls of the dead.
The light from the oil lamp is so faint that when the door is closed, it is not visible from the outside at all.
"You sleep in this room." Luo Yong's mother's voice came, and I shone it with a flashlight, and she stood in front of the door of a room.
Cai Han said that when he came over a few days ago, Luo Yong's parents were very enthusiastic, but today Luo Yong's parents have been cold when they see us, and I can only blame the reason on Luo Yong's father's coma, and the two men in the family have accidents, and it is normal for her to be mentally hit.
After saying this, Luo Yong's mother moved into another room, I glanced inside, there was a person lying on the bed, it should be Luo Yong's father in a coma.
Since we were here to help, I didn't think about being a guest, so I was going to rest first and wait until dawn.
After Luo Yong's mother entered the room, she closed the door, and I looked at the whole house, which is a common mud house in the countryside, and there are three doors on both sides of the hall.
In addition, there is a passage in which the wind blows, mixed with a slight fishy smell, which I guess is where the thatched hut is.
When I withdrew the flashlight from the passage, the light fell on the upper center of the hall, and I saw the shrine, the hallmark of the rural hall. The red paper above the shrine reads "Defang Inheritance" from right to left, and there is an incense burner in front of the shrine, and below it is a brazier with a lot of paper ashes from burning embers.
After the ancestral hall was abolished, every family in the countryside would set up such a shrine in the hall house to worship the deceased in their own family. As I was looking at the shrine, the wind in the passage suddenly became stronger, causing the air to flow through the hall and extinguishing an oil lamp in the corner.
Even though I knew that the light was blown out by the wind, my heart tightened and I didn't want to stay in this strange atmosphere of the hall anymore.
And when I was about to enter the house, I saw Su Xi's somewhat cramped expression, and then I remembered a question, Luo Yong's mother only showed us a room, I am different from Su Xi's men and women, how can we rest?
I poured a flashlight into the room, and there was only one bed in it, and the bed was completely quilted. [To read the latest chapter of this book, please search] I thought about it for a moment, and set my eyes on the locked room I saw earlier.
"You go in, I'll go and have a look." I whispered to her.
With that, I walked to the front of the room and pushed the door with my hand, but I couldn't do it. In rural areas, doors do not have handles, and when they are locked, they either open from the inside or with a key if they are opened from the outside.
I reluctantly turned around and found that Su Xi was still standing at the door looking at me.
"You can sleep inside, I'll just lay the floor outside." That being said, I glanced at the shrine and the remaining oil lamp in the hall, and I was still a little apprehensive.
"Senior, if you don't sleep inside, I'll sleep on the ground." Su Xi's words made me stunned for a moment.
"How could you sleep on the ground!" I immediately vetoed her suggestion.
"However, you seem to be a little afraid of the dark ......"
was told by a girl that she was afraid of the dark, and my face was a little unbearable, and I said resolutely: "Look at people!" Stop arguing, listen to me! ”
After saying that, I walked over, walked into the house in front of her, took a bed of cotton wool and threw it on the ground, and then said that it was not too early, and asked her to go and rest quickly, and she saw that I was resolute, so she went in.
The cotton wool in the countryside is very big and thick, and I sleep half of it, and the other half is folded back and put on my body, and I can make it up.
I was a little reckless in front of Su Xi just now, and now I am the only one left in this hall, and my heart is still hairy. I got up again and dragged the bunk to the two doors on the left, lay down and squeezed the torch in my hand again, and then closed my eyes.
When I closed my eyes, it was completely dark, and when I first arrived in an unfamiliar environment, out of my body's instinctive reaction, I immediately opened my eyes again, looked around, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, I closed my eyes again.
In fact, after a day of driving and walking on the mountain road, my body was very tired and wanted to have a good rest, but the nervousness made it impossible for my body to completely relax, and I couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
As my consciousness slowly blurred, I felt a person standing next to me, and it was so dark that I couldn't see him even when I opened my eyes, but it felt real, like I once slept and felt someone staring at me from behind.
I tried to open my eyes, but I found that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open them, this feeling was very bad, and it also made me feel a little flustered, I continued to try to open my eyes, and then a voice sounded in my ears: "Hurry up!" ”
I wondered in my heart, this voice sounded not unfamiliar, but it was not very familiar, I wanted to open my eyes to see who he was, and the voice sounded again: "Go! ”
I wanted to ask who you were, but I could only snort softly.
"Knock-knock-knock-"
With a thick knocking sound, I snapped my eyes open, sat up from the bunk, and quickly turned on the flashlight in my hand. When the flashlight came on, I took a look at the hall, and I was relieved that it was just a dream. At this time, my forehead was already soaked with a lot of sweat, all of which I had been struggling with in my dreams just now.
"Knock-knock-knock-" The strange sound rang out again.
This time, I heard it clearly, and the voice came from the locked room, and I was a little puzzled at the moment: Could it be that that there were also people living in that room who came to take care of Rayong's parents?
I stood up, walked softly to the door, put my ear to the door, and after a few seconds the voice sounded a third time, but not from the door, but from inside the house. That is, it is not someone knocking on the door, but someone knocking on something in the room.
I thought that there were guests of Rayong's house living inside, and it was inconvenient to say anything, so I went back to my bunk. But this time I went back, the sound never stopped, and the sound got louder and louder, and I couldn't sleep at all.
In the end, I really had no choice, so I walked over again, knocked lightly on the door, and said, "Can you stop knocking?" ”
After I finished asking, I just stood there waiting for a response, I waited for about ten seconds, but no one answered me, and the knocking sound stopped sounding. To make sure, I put my ear to the door again and closed my eyes to listen.
After listening for a while, the room was still silent, and I thought it was the man who agreed.
"What are you doing?" Just as I was about to straighten up, a cold voice rang out behind me, making me shiver.
I looked back and Rayong's mom was staring at me. My attention was so focused on the sounds in the room that I didn't even notice that she had walked behind me. At this time, she was holding an oil lamp in her hand, and her face was already pale, but under the reflection of this dim oil lamp, it looked even more weird.
"Ah, Auntie, why are you up? This room is also your guest, he is knocking things in it, and I can't sleep after listening to it. I explained, a little flustered.
"Let's see." As she spoke, she pulled out a key, inserted it into the keyhole, and slowly turned it.
When the key turned to the innermost, there was a "click" sound from the door, and then Luo Yong's mother let go of her hand, and the door "creaked" back and cracked a crack, the room was dark, and a musty smell came to my nose, I couldn't help frowning, thinking that I would not be suffocated to death if I lived in this house.
"Let's see." Luo Yong's mother repeated that sentence again, but she didn't move her steps.
I glanced at her and thought that this woman had been hit so badly that it was like two people when they came to the school to collect Rayong's relics.
Her meaning was obvious, let me go ahead, I didn't think much about it at the time, I shone my flashlight on the ground and walked in.
Because I always thought there was someone in the room and was worried that the flashlight light would hit him, I shone on the ground. When I walked in, I raised the light of the flashlight very low, and only slowly turned it along the corner of the wall, observing the situation in the room.
After turning around, I found that the room was empty, and there seemed to be nothing on several walls.
At this time, the "squeak" body sounded again, and my heart tightened, and I immediately looked back. When I turned around, the door slammed back, and Rayong's mother didn't come in.
"Auntie, you ......"
Before I could finish my sentence, there was another "click" sound on the door, and I was startled, and a thought flashed through my mind, and I immediately rushed to the back of the door. I reached for the door, only to find that it had been locked from the outside.
I banged the door and asked Luo Yong's mother what she was doing, and she replied, "You can live inside." ”
Her words stopped my movements, and I thought, isn't there someone in the room, how can I live? And if there was no one, why didn't she let me stay here when we first arrived?
After she said this, it was quiet outside the room again, and I calmed down a little. Speaking of living people, I took a look just now, this room seems to be empty, there is not even a bed, how to live!
Looking at the closed door, I could only comfort myself by saying that this was just a wooden door, and that there was something really wrong.
Thinking about it, I turned around and prepared to take a closer look at the room, at least to find out who was making the sound!
This time, considering that Luo Yong's mother had locked me in the house, I didn't have so many scruples, and raised the light of the flashlight and shot it directly into the middle of the room.
And this time, my eyes widened, and a chill surged in my heart.
