14. Hidden

The night before, I didn't sleep well, but not because I had done anything else, but because I was woken up from my sleep by the sound of walking, and since then I have been hearing the sound of people walking, just upstairs, walking back and forth.

There is no one living in our house upstairs, I live in the main house, the middle is the hall, the other side is where my parents live, and my grandparents live in the north wing, although there are rooms upstairs, but they are all empty, it is not that we do not live, but there is a room upstairs that was originally lived by my grandfather, and then my grandfather died in that room, and then the family did not live in that room, although the bed is still made, but it has almost become a utility room that does not go into much. The other room was lived in by my uncle earlier, but my uncle had a short life, and the second was that he suddenly died of illness when he was two years old, and he also died in the room, so he gradually did not live in the room, because the two rooms upstairs were not inhabited, only the middle room was sandwiched, and my sisters did not shy away from living in these when they were there, and then they got married, and they were all vacant.

So I was suddenly woken up by the footsteps above, I was shocked and scared, when I first woke up, I thought it was a fork, so I held my breath and listened carefully, until the sound of walking continued to sound on it, which was definitely down, and at the same time I was even more afraid.

Because I listened carefully for a while, I noticed that the footsteps were walking back and forth, and then going to one end and then to the other, and then walking back and forth, and then turning back and forth, and so on.

I lay on the bed and didn't dare to get up to look, I figured out that my parents were living in the room at the other end, and the stairs were the closest, and they should be able to hear them, but I found that they didn't seem to be awakened or noticed.

I listened to the footsteps until the first time the rooster crowed, and then stopped.

Strange to say, when the rooster crows for the first time, the footsteps suddenly stopped abruptly, I listened to it for a while, it was indeed completely gone, the more I thought about it, the more afraid I was, I didn't dare to sleep, until the sky was gray and gray before I felt a little more stable, then I felt really sleepy, and fell asleep.

By the time I got up, my dad had gone to Hua Xiu's graveyard, my mom and my grandmother were at home preparing food and belongings, and my grandfather was still sitting under the eaves of the wing house and baking the sun, just like he always did.

I looked at the void, when my mother was alone, I quietly asked her if she heard anything last night, my mother has probably experienced a lot recently, and she has calmed down a lot when I asked about this stubble, she shook her head and said no, she has been sleeping well, and slept until dawn, and then asked me what I heard.

I then prevaricated and said that I didn't listen to the truth, maybe I heard it wrong, maybe I heard it wrong, my mother asked for a while, I was prevaricating, and then I came out, I felt that there was nothing wrong, so I planned to go upstairs to see, just when I arrived at the staircase to meet my grandmother, she asked me: "Don't go upstairs, you just can't bear it." ”

I looked at it, but I didn't dismiss it, so I said, "I'll go up and look for something, and I'll come down right away, it's my own house, and there won't be anything." ”

My grandmother said, "Why don't you listen?" ”

I then played treasure and said, "Grandma, uncle and grandfather are not bad people, even if they were above when they died, will they still harm me, don't think too much." ”

Grandma was speechless when I said this, and then went into the kitchen without saying a word, I saw that grandma acquiesced, so I went up the stairs, to be honest, when I walked up, the feeling of emptiness on it still made me a little scared, I took a deep breath, until I came to the entrance of the building, looked at the corridor, and there was no difference from usual, and nothing, so I walked slowly from the entrance of the corridor to the very end, the first room at the entrance of the corridor was where my grandfather lived, and the one at the end was larger, It was the uncle who lived when there was no separation before, of course, the doors of these rooms were closed, because of the long-term inhabitation and the avoidance of the family, so the doors were all closed.

When I walked to the middle of the corridor, I looked down through the building, and I just saw my grandfather basking in the sun below, and then I came to the end, and there was nothing abnormal, so I turned back from the end to the staircase, and when I came to the end of the first column, I seemed to think of something when I saw the column, so I stopped when I walked to the second column, because I suddenly remembered an incident, that is, I ran out of the door and ran outside the gate to carry the paper man back on my back. According to the description of the family, I carried the paper figure to the eaves of the house, and it was almost in front of this pillar that I suddenly stopped and looked at it, and then my symptoms of demonic dazed disappeared completely, and the person passed out.

So when I suddenly remembered this, and the footsteps I heard last night, I couldn't help but connect the two things, and the family said that they didn't know what I was looking at at the time, but if I really saw something at that time?

I was taken aback by this idea of my own, and suddenly I also felt that the upstairs scene was a little scary, I looked, and found that behind this pillar is really the door of the middle room, I looked at the door, and very strong doubts but did not have a clue, so I stood in the building and went downstairs to look, and found that there was nothing special, and then I felt that I was not doing it right, I must not be able to see anything from above, thinking of this, I came downstairs, I'm going to look up from where I stood that night and see something.

So I determined the position from the direction told by the family, and finally determined that I was already standing in the place where I was at night, so I looked up, but as soon as I looked up, I was stunned, and I was frightened, because when I looked from below, I found that I could just see a small section of the door behind the pillars, and when I looked in my direction, the door was actually open, and I had just come down from above, and when I was determining the position of the columns, I also looked at the door behind it, and it was obviously closed.

While I was frightened, I suddenly heard my mother's scolding voice from under the eaves: "Wood, what are you doing here?!" ”

All my thoughts and concentrations were disrupted, and I turned to look at my mom, who looked at me in amazement, and then asked again, "What are you doing here?" ”

She had come down from under the eaves, and was very anxious, and she walked up to me, grabbed me, and asked, "Do you think there's anything wrong with that?" ”

I then realized that my mother was watching me that night, and I remembered every action in my heart, and now I suddenly made the same action as that night, and it was hard to ensure that I would not scare her, so I had such a move, so I comforted her and said: "I'm fine, but I think of the events of that night and feel a little unbelievable, so I imitated it to see if I can remember what I started." ”

When my mother heard my explanation, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You kid, you scared me to death." ”

I said to her, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry, you can go and help grandma cook." ”

Then my mother went back to the kitchen, and I looked upstairs again, and found that the door that had just been opened was closed again, and seeing that this was the scene, I was almost sure that there was something wrong with the room in the middle of the upstairs, but I couldn't figure it out, why not the one at the end, not the one at the top of the stairs, but the one in the middle?

Another question became a huge question in my mind, what did I see in that situation that night, what was upstairs down?

When I was puzzled, my grandfather didn't know when he had arrived at my side, and he asked me, "What did you find upstairs just now?" ”

I thought my grandfather was recuperating and didn't pay attention to me, but I didn't expect to keep watching my every move, and I replied, "I didn't find anything." ”

Grandpa said, "What were you doing when I saw you walking back and forth upstairs just now?" ”

I didn't know how to answer, so I said, "Just go up and walk around." ”

My grandfather suddenly straightened his face and said to me very seriously, "You can't mess around with that, especially you." ”
