Chapter 111: Ghosts

The gloomy nights, the ghostly shaking branches, the summer storms are often unexpected, but they can't be stopped when they should come, just as those who should go will go, and those who should come will come. Shuqing liked this sentence very much, and she didn't remember what she read in that book, it was like "a long road and no turning back". But sometimes they're as heavy and unwieldy as old books in the library's open section...... It's also dusty.

Shuqing stood in front of the window, looking out. The branches were still shaking slightly, but the rain had lightened, and the day's torrential rain had locked her in the house, and she couldn't even get out of the house. Through the window, she looked intently outside, and two small leaves had fallen, and the wind in the afternoon had torn their bodies. The paths of the community are also full of muddy sewage, and the dim lights make the sewage even more filthy. I'm afraid this house will also be demolished. Then she thought about whether Li Zhen would come to her next to ask for this house. An Xiaowen is dead, and she said that all her property was left to Li Zhen. "Stay away from the woman surnamed Ann, stay away from her. Zhang Xiaofeng and Zhu Mao both warned her like this, but none of them said why, and she almost never saw Zhang Xiaofeng's elusive guy again.

That's when her doorbell rang. She listened, but stood still. After a few moments, the doorbell rang crisply again. She turned to look at the door in confusion. It's the doorbell yes, who would ring her doorbell on this stormy night, she turned and walked towards the gate.

After An Xiaowen's death, she became suspicious, and her thinking was not as clear as before. She felt that in this moment, she was 10 years older. Who will come at this time? On a stormy night, the old woman in the house died suddenly, no one would have doubted. She nervously leaned close to the door, asking aloud, "Who's outside?" and she stood and listened quietly. However, there was no sound outside the door except the sound of wind and rain. She took a step back, wondering if it was her hallucination, there was no one outside the house, maybe it was a child who was wreaking, and there were often troublemakers ringing the doorbell nearby. But in this kind of ghost weather, shouldn't those trouble-making imps be locked up at home by their parents? She shook her head, sure she was hallucinating, and turned to get back to the window. But as soon as she turned around, there was another doorbell outside the door: "Ding Dong-Ding Dong-" The bell was melodious and slow, like a woman singing, and the voice came from the top of the golden eagle in Nanshan.

Shuqing turned her body sharply, she felt like a pair of eyes were looking inside at the cat's eye, no matter who or something was outside the door, she must have seen Shuqing. Otherwise, how could she ring the doorbell just as soon as she turned around. She hesitated for a moment, then she raised her voice and shouted, "Who's out there?" and there was still no sound outside.

She began to get nervous, and walked slowly back to the door, and gently latched the chains, which she had never used before, and she always thought they were useless, but her nephew insisted on fitting them, and how grateful she was for his foresight!

After latching the chain, she slowly took a few steps back, trying to quietly leave the doorway. But as soon as she began to back away, the doorbell rang again like a ghost. Shuqing stood still, she shook her brain, she felt ridiculous about her previous thoughts, she didn't believe that there was some hateful evil ghost outside, maybe it was some murderer, the person who killed An Xiaowen, maybe it was some trickster who quietly ran out to play in the water. She walked towards the door angrily, looking at the cat's eye from a distance of 50cm, when the doorbell rang again. She pondered for a moment, who was out there, what could she see, who was playing a prank? Then she stepped over, leaning against the iron door, and pressed her right eye against the cat's eye—she saw—

A bloodied eye looked straight at her, full of reproach, dissatisfaction and heartbreak.

"Ahh An Xiaowen came to her, because she gave up, she failed her, she not only failed her but also Li Yiwen, Li Yiwen asked her to protect An Xiaowen. Let her protect her.

A voice came through the cat's eye, and it was soft, very soft:

"Why? It's Xin'er, it's Xin'er, she hurt me! Why? Shuqing-Shuqing-Shuqing-"

Shuqing covered her ears and knelt on the ground, screaming, "No, no, you go away!"

The doorbell no longer rang, but the sound of a trick and a voice calling her name anxiously.

"Shuqing!Shuqing!Shuqing!"

Shuqing slowly turned her head to look at the iron gate, which was opened from the outside. A hand was trying to remove the chain from her latch through the narrow crack in the door.

She was stunned for a moment, staring at it with wide eyes of horror. The cool breeze blew on her face, and she recognized the hands, and as if she had seen a savior, she quickly put down the hand covering her ears and stood up with difficulty.

"Lao Zhu, it's you! It's you!"

She removed the chain, opened the door, and a cool breeze blew in the rain. She instantly sobered up a lot.

"Someone just rang my doorbell, is that you?" she asked.

"It's not me, it's her!" Lao Zhu took a step to the side, allowing Shuqing to see the woman standing behind him. "I heard you shouting inside, what's going on?" Lao Zhu looked at Shuqing worriedly.

And Shuqing looked at the woman behind Lao Zhu angrily, and didn't hear his question at all. She looked at the woman sternly and yelled, "Why don't you talk when you ring the doorbell!"

Chen Xianhui trembled and followed Lao Zhu and moved a step, and whispered, "You roar inside, get out." The volume of the last two words could not even match the sound of flies flapping their wings.

"What did you say?" Shuqing shrieked.

Lao Zhu hurriedly came out to play the round, and he said with a smile: "On this rainy day, I guess you won't be able to hear it inside." She said that there is an urgent matter to find you, your friend, I have seen her many times. ”

Shuqing's mood eased, she remembered that she had always been shocked recently, and Huahua told her yesterday that Jinpeng had given her mother a lot of money. At that time, she went out to throw out the garbage, and it happened that Huahua went out, and she looked very happy, so Shuqing asked her where she was going, and she said to buy popsicles, and Shuqing reached into her pants pocket and touched it. Whenever this happens, she will always secretly give money to buy a freezer for Huahua. But this time Huahua rejected her, and Huahua said: "The man in the suit gave my mother money, and we have money." ”

She wondered if Aunt Zhang was bribed by Jinpeng to spy on her, and report who she saw and what she said at any time. And Jinpeng is just a pawn of Li Zhen, what does Li Zhen want to do, what does An Xiaowen want to do? What does this woman in front of him want to do?

"What the hell do you want to do?" Shuqing asked, staring at Chen Xianhui.
