Chapter 24: Knocking at the Door in the Middle of the Night

I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her, probably because I remembered it wrong.

Auntie's expression is also very normal, and she said a little strangely, why are so many people here today, and several other rooms have been rented out, and there are only two rooms left, one for twenty yuan a day, including two meals, and asked us if we lived.

Li Xue said of course I have to live, it just so happens that she and I are in the same room, and his cousin has a separate room.

To be honest, I was a little surprised that one of the worst hotels in our area had to start at fifty, but I didn't expect it to be so cheap and clean.

By the time we put things down, it was time for dinner.

After going out, I also saw several other well-dressed young people in the courtyard, probably about twenty years old, three men and three women, exactly three couples.

They looked quite active, chattering there.

From their voices, I could tell that they were neighboring cities, and indeed that in the small village here in Sukou Mountain, the young people always did not believe in those chaotic ghosts and gods, and at the suggestion of one of them, they came to risk their luck and see if they could find it.

They were talking and talking, and I don't know why, but one of the men told a ghost story, and the girls screamed in fright.

The men laughed, and one of the inch-headed men said unashamedly, don't say that there are no ghosts in this world, even if there are really ghosts, I can catch them and stew them, and said that I will take advantage of the night tonight to go out to see if those ghosts dare to come out.

Watching them brag, I didn't listen.

Just these few people, I'm afraid that when the time really comes to see ghosts, let alone red ghosts, even a white ghost can make them pee their pants.

I looked to the other side, my aunt was sitting not far from us, on a separate small table, with two dishes and chopsticks, I thought she was still eating from the family, but when we all finished eating, no one came.

I felt a little strange, and I told Li Xue and the others.

Li Xue frowned when she heard this, and opened her mouth to ask the aunt, but was stopped by her cousin.

"Don't ask, you'll get into trouble."

"Why?"

Cousin Li Xue's face was dark, "If I didn't guess, that pair of dishes and chopsticks was for the dead." ”

I was startled when I heard it, "For the dead?" ”

Cousin Li Xue said in a low voice,

"Under normal circumstances, there are only two situations when there are two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the dinner table, the first is what I just said, there was a dead person in his family, but that person did not leave, and he has always stayed here and lived with him, but most people can't see it.

The second is more dangerous, it is rumored that in ancient times, some evil arts left over from ancient times could raise ghosts through spirits, and drive these ghosts to help them do things, harm others, and even extend their lives.

This kind of evil art has been listed as a forbidden art by the righteous way of the world, and I don't know the specific situation, but I know that anyone who refines imps is all ruthless.

Anyway, in the future, you remember, no matter where you go, you see someone with an extra pair of chopsticks, but no one eats it, it's best to stay as far away as possible! ”

I nodded, and my body unconsciously moved a few times away from the aunt on the side.

After eating, seeing that the couples were still talking excitedly about where to go tonight, Li Xue's expression was also a little moved.

But her cousin dragged us back to our rooms.

He said that his room was next door to us, and when the door was closed, he took out a rune paper and pasted it on the door, which he and Yu Yang had prepared to deal with the female ghost before, and when he came here this time, Yu Yang gave him all these rune papers.

Looking at Li Xue's restless eyes, her cousin smiled bitterly: It's not clean here, it's best not to go out tonight, I always feel that the atmosphere here is a little weird, and something bad may happen.

Either way, get a good rest, and by the time you go up the mountain tomorrow, you may not have such a comfortable place to sleep.

I live next door, and I can just call me for anything.

Sure enough, the one who knows Li Xue best is her cousin.

As soon as the door was closed, Li Xue came over, she hugged my arm and gossiped, "Xiaorou, did you say that those young people just now should really go out to find ghosts so late, they don't seem to believe in ghosts." ”

As I undressed, I said, "We didn't believe it until we saw it, but there are many things in this world that can't be explained by science." ”

"Then guess if something will happen to them if they go tonight."

"How can I know that."

As I spoke, I raised my head and looked out of the dark window, with the mountain wind blowing, the branches of the trees were constantly swaying, as if there were countless figures standing outside, which made people feel a little panicked.

"Why is it so windy all of a sudden, it must be raining?"

Li Xue closed her eyes and inhaled hard, "It looks like it, but there has never been such a strong wind in our city, it's better in the mountains, and even the air is so fresh." ”

"I hope you don't delay tomorrow's trip, okay, let's go to bed first, I have to get up early tomorrow and go into the mountains."

"Hey, Xiaorou, don't sleep and listen to me."

"Well, I'm listening.".

It was probably a bumpy day's drive, after getting out of bed and closing my eyes, I quickly felt sleepy, I don't know how long I slept, I suddenly felt Li Xue on the side poke me.

"Xiaorou, are you asleep, there seems to be any sound?"

I was in a daze and thought that Li Xue was deliberately scaring me again, so I didn't reply, and after a few seconds, I felt that Li Xue's body next to me began to tremble violently.

I woke up suddenly, and it was at this time that I heard the sound of raindrops hitting the window outside the window.

"Cher, Cher, I'm here, don't be afraid, it's just the sound of rain."

"It's not raining, there's someone outside."

There was no light in the house, I could only barely see Li Xue shaking her head vigorously, her eyes were frightened, she stretched out her hand and pointed out the window, "Outside, someone is ......"

When I heard her words, I turned my head and looked out the dark window, where a figure was standing, seemingly pushing our door again and again.

The shadow's movements looked strange and stiff, like the kind of puppets we used to play with when we were kids.

As she pushed, the inferior wooden door kept making a "squeak, squeak" sound, as if it sounded in the bottom of people's hearts.

"Xiaorou, did you think it would be a ghost knocking on the door?" Li Xue's voice was frightened, and she looked at the wooden door on the side as she spoke.

The magnitude of the push seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

I admit that I was also scared at the time, but looking at Li Xue, whose face was pale with frightened face, I still mustered up the courage, "Don't panic, I'll take a look." ”

As I stepped on the ground, I felt a cool breath creeping from my heel to my heart, and I couldn't help but shiver.

"Who?"

I asked as I walked towards the door, but the man outside still didn't respond, just kept pushing the door.

The more I walked towards the door, the wetness of the rain outside rushed towards me, and the colder it became.

"Hey, who are you, don't talk anymore, I'll call someone!"

As I said this, a bolt of lightning struck and illuminated the outside as if it were day.

I also suddenly saw the person standing at the door, it was a man!

I've seen this guy, it's the inch-headed boy I saw telling ghost stories at dinner.

But now he was dirty, soaked from the rain, but as if he didn't care at all, he was pushing our door at once.

People are often the most afraid of the unknown, and I am relieved to see clearly that people are not ghosts.

At this time, Li Xue also turned on the light, and the light shone on me, and I also dared to ask: "Hey, why did you come to us in the middle of the night, be careful that I call the police......"

This time, when I finished speaking, he stopped his movements and looked up at the door.

Feeling his gaze, I was cold, only to find that I was still wearing pajamas, which he didn't see, I hurriedly turned around and wanted to get a dress to wear!

I didn't expect him to look well-dressed during the day, and he had a girlfriend, so he would do such a thing!

As I got dressed, I cautiously glanced out through the crack in the door, and his body slowly turned, but in the split second,

The inch-headed man seemed to sense my gaze, and the inch-headed man smiled weirdly at me, and the whole person disappeared into the darkness.

"Xiaorou, he's gone, do you want to call my cousin!"

I was silent for a moment, "Zhang Xin should have fallen asleep so late, since he is gone, let's sleep first, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

After getting into bed, Li Xue's breathing on the side became more and more stable, and she slowly fell asleep, I made such a fuss, as soon as I closed my eyes, it was the last weird smile of the inch-headed man, and that aunt, that sense of familiarity was too obvious, was it really just that I remembered it wrong?

The rain outside, accompanied by thunder and lightning, was getting heavier and heavier, and I felt the sound of Li Xue next to me breathing evenly, and stood up and looked out the window.

If this situation continues, I really won't be able to go up the mountain tomorrow.

It was very late that night that I forced myself to lie in bed, and by the time I fell asleep, I guess it was almost dawn.

It was about six or seven o'clock when a sudden scream was heard outside, followed by a noise and cries.

"Bang bang bang!"

Someone knocked the door, waking Li Xue and I up.

Li Xue didn't seem to wake up, "Who, what are you doing early in the morning!" ”

"Xue'er, Xiaorou, get up and open the door, something happened!" Outside was the anxious voice of Cousin Li Xue.

I was so excited that I hurriedly put on my clothes and walked out, only then did I find that the people in the yard and some fellow villagers were all gathered at the door of our house.

There was a faint cry in the crowd.

Cousin Li Xue greeted us, stared at us up and down with a worried face, and was relieved to see that we were safe, "Someone just found that a man's body was at the door of your room yesterday!" ”

Thinking of the incident in the middle of the night last night, I panicked, squeezed through the crowd hard, and saw the body of the inch-headed man on the ground lying stiffly on the ground, his eyes wide.

The corners of his mouth still have the weird smile of last night.
