Chapter 2: Frightened Night
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The knocking continued.
trembling, pinching the pillow for a while did not dare to agree.
staring at the door tightly, my body couldn't stop shaking.
But the knocking on the door kept going on and on, and there was no talk.
In the end, I gritted my teeth and shouted outside the house:
"Who, who?"
My voice just fell.
The knocking stopped.
About two seconds later, a strange woman's voice sounded outside the door:
"Change some money."
When I hear those three words.
In my mind, I instantly remembered the one I met at the intersection who exchanged money for me.
The woman in white who followed me and smiled at me.
The whole person became even more frightened, and replied to the door with a stammer:
"No, no money, get out of ......"
I was scared to respond, and that fear brought me close to a breakdown.
I held my head and crouched in the corner of the couch.
And after I shouted like this, it worked, and the rapid knocking on the door stopped.
Outside, there was no movement.
Everything seems to have returned to calm.
But I didn't dare to sleep at all, and I didn't feel sleepy.
With the lights on, I kept my eyes on the door.
I'm afraid that if I look away, the closed door will be pushed open......
It wasn't until dawn that I leaned back on the couch and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
The whole person was in a mess, and he spent the night tormented.
I was about to get up to wash my face, but I found that I was covered with a small blanket.
I was stunned on the spot.
I remember that the thin blanket was placed in the bedroom.
Last night, I didn't go inside to get a blanket.
Now, what's on me?
Misremembered?
I twisted up the blanket and looked left and right.
Finally, I pressed my temple.
Maybe it's really my own time, my mental condition is too bad, and my memory is poor.
But last night's knock on the door? And how to explain it?
The thought of the woman at that intersection makes me shudder.
Is that a human, or a ghost......
I washed my face with cool water.
Looking at me with a haggard face, I sighed deeply.
I still have to go to work.
I cooked a bowl of noodles in the house, and went to work with a garbage bag.
This is the second night shift before the shift.
There are two days left before the day shift, I thought to myself.
Just about to go downstairs, Aunt Wang, the neighbor who was opposite the door, also opened the door and came out to put garbage.
Seeing that I was going downstairs, he smiled and said:
"Xiao Qin! Sorry last night.
Uncles play cards and don't have change.
Seeing that you came back from work, the eldest girl asked you to exchange money and quarreled with you. ā
Hearing this, my body trembled.
I was very surprised:
"Last night, last night knocked on the door, yes, it was your daughter?"
Aunt Wang saw that I was shocked, and she was still a little puzzled:
"yes? What's wrong? ā
Hearing this, the whole person was relieved, and even wanted to laugh.
I thought it was dirty, a ghost knocking on the door.
As a result, I was really nervous and thought about it a lot.
The nervous mood instantly relaxed a lot.
The stone that hung in my heart also fell to the ground.
Secretly smiled bitterly.
During this time, I really had a nervous breakdown and was too sensitive.
After all, it's the 21st century, what's dirty?
I smiled and shook my head:
"It's okay Aunt Wang, I didn't have change last night and last night, and I wasn't in a good mood, so I was a little irritable......"
Aunt Wang is still smiling:
"It's fine. But Auntie has to say something about you.
Although the girlfriend is beautiful, she also has to take care of her body.
Look at it, your face is so bad, you usually have to make soup to make up for it. ā
When I heard this, I was stunned on the spot.
Girlfriend? Do you still make soup to make up for it?
I'm a single dog, where does that start?
I replied in confusion:
"Aunt Wang, IāI don't have a girlfriend."
Aunt Wang had an expression that saw through everything:
"Big guy, still shy.
When you came back last night, I saw it all.
The one in a white dress has very white skin.
The house that came with you.
Alright, let's go to work!
Hehehe......"
After saying that, Aunt Wang ignored me anymore.
"Bang dang!"
I closed the door and went straight into the house.
But standing in the corridor, I was like being splashed with a basin of cold water, cold from head to toe.
The feeling of being stared at from behind reappeared.
The heart that had just been put down was violently suspended again.
Last night, last night, there was a woman who came into the house with me......
I swallowed and glanced left and right in the dimly lit hallway.
The corridors seem to have become a little more gloomy.
I was scared and ran downstairs in a hurry.
How could a woman in white come into the house with me last night?
I was the only one in the room.
Could it be that the thin blanket that was put on me was covered by someone else?
I shuddered, didn't dare to think about it, and didn't know what to do.
Leave the rental house and come to the intersection to wait for the commuter bus.
At the intersection during the day, people come and go.
But I still couldn't stop feeling scared and restless.
Nearly a month of mental stress left me in this strange big city, and I didn't know what to do next.
The whole person seemed to be shrouded in fear and darkness, and I didn't know if I had a mental problem or if I really encountered something dirty.
A feeling of isolation.
The walking dead got on the commuter bus, and the melancholy was written all over his face.
It wasn't until I was about to get out of the car that a middle-aged man suddenly sat down next to me.
I didn't care, I just thought about what to do after work tonight? Do you want to go back to the rental house?
The middle-aged man next to me, while playing with his mobile phone, said to me lightly:
"Qin Ze, right, I've been observing you for a few days.
Have you encountered something strange and unexplainable lately? ā
This sentence seems to have been inserted into my heart.
I jerked my head away.
The man was familiar, but he didn't know him.
It should be from the logistics department, not from our assembly line.
I don't know what it's called.
He had a calm face, and he didn't look at me while scrolling through Tik Tok.
But I was shocked and said:
"Y-How do you know?"
The middle-aged man just smiled faintly and didn't explain much.
Just reached out and touched it from his pocket a few times.
Finally, with great effort, I took out an older copper plate from my jeans.
Handing it to me.
"This is for you, and something strange will happen again.
He threw the old money on the ground and told her to take the money and leave......"
