Chapter 24: Granny Hide-and-Seek

Seeing that I suddenly said such things, she looked at me with a puzzled expression, but she still agreed and left in a hurry.

After returning to the box, everyone was chatting and laughing, but I was completely uninterested, I kept thinking about Yang Xiaojuan, she should be fine, right?

After the party was over, everyone went home, and Zhang Yan kept counting a few classmates in the class on the way back to Dongdu Garden on the way back to Dongdu Garden, but I listened absent-mindedly and occasionally replied.

"What's wrong with you, you're out of mind when you come back, what do you want?"

Zhang Yan couldn't help but ask when she saw me in this state, I glanced at her but didn't know how to tell her, so I could only sigh deeply and say that it was okay.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, she didn't ask again, sent me back to the villa and left.

But that night, when I was about to go to bed, a phone call came, and I picked it up and listened, but it was Yang Xiaojuan, the class committee.

"Zhou Ning, there is something going on at home."

Yang Xiaojuan said quietly on the phone, I was curious to ask her what happened.

"Did you see something earlier?"

Yang Xiaojuan asked me, and she said otherwise, why would I have to leave her phone number with a worried face.

"Just say something straight."

I confessed to Yang Xiaojuan, saying that I did see black gas on her forehead today, and Wang Huai said before that such people are either unlucky or have bloody disasters.

Hearing me say this, Yang Xiaojuan on the phone became scared, saying that she didn't know why, she felt that her home was gloomy these days, and her mother-in-law's behavior was also very strange.

"When did it start?"

I listened to her and asked her, and Yang Xiaojuan suddenly smiled bitterly when she heard me ask, and told me what happened at her house.

Yang Xiaojuan's married husband is a countryman, and there are two elderly people in the family, her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and her husband is making money outside, so she is responsible for taking care of the elderly at home.

Fortunately, my father-in-law is healthy and doesn't have to worry about it, but my mother-in-law has had mental problems in the past two years.

Not two days ago, she was cooking in the kitchen, and she went back to the living room, and outside the house, she heard her father-in-law scolding and screaming, and she ran out to see it in a panic, almost not scared to death by her mother-in-law's behavior.

Speaking of which, Yang Xiaojuan told me that they still cook on a fire in the countryside and put a steaming bucket in the pot. And her mother-in-law, who didn't know where to catch a snake, stuffed the snake directly under the steaming bucket, and scalded the snake to death.

Yang Xiaojuan said that she was most afraid of snakes, but she was so frightened by this scene that she didn't even want to enter the kitchen, let alone touch the pot where the snake was placed.

In the end, her father-in-law took out the scalded snake and threw it away, came back to teach her mother-in-law a lesson, and cried helplessly, and Yang Xiaojuan, as a daughter-in-law, did not dare to complain although she was helpless.

"Since that day, my mother-in-law has been like a different person."

Yang Xiaojuan told me, her voice trembling.

Since that night, Yang Xiaojuan has found that her mother-in-law is abnormal, because her husband is busy with work and rarely comes back, so she sleeps alone in the house.

She said that she remembered to lock the door before going to bed, but in the middle of the night, she felt cold on her toes, not because of the cold, but because something was licking her toes.

This discovery woke Yang Xiaojuan awake, retracted her feet and got up to look at the foot of the bed, and saw a rickety person squatting at the foot of the bed through the dim moonlight, this glance almost scared her to death.

After yelling, she turned on the light and ran out, and her father-in-law was awakened and came out to ask her what she was calling in the middle of the night. Yang Xiaojuan pointed to her house in horror and said that there was a ghost!

His father-in-law was a little surprised when he heard this, so he took a stick and went to the house to take a look, but there was no ghost anywhere, only Yang Xiaojuan's mother-in-law was squatting inside!

Yang Xiaojuan was angry when she told me about this, saying that she really couldn't stand her mother-in-law's strange behavior, and wanted to escape back to her parents' house, but she felt sorry for her good husband.

"Have you seen it?"

I asked Yang Xiaojuan, I feel that the older generation in the countryside generally believes in this kind of thing, and they should find someone who can see things to take a look.

"You know I don't believe this, I just think it's a mental problem."

Yang Xiaojuan said that until today, when she attended the party, her father-in-law called her, saying that her mother-in-law was sick again, and would climb over the insects under the rocks on the side of the road to eat them, or climb the trees to catch birds, anyway, the behavior had reached the point of exaggeration and perversion.

After listening to her, I said to her, "If you're not in a hurry, I'll help you ask, I have a friend who understands this." ”

I comforted Yang Xiaojuan, as soon as she heard that my friends would meet, she was immediately a little excited, and told me to help her with this, no matter how much money they were willing to pay.

Seeing that she was so anxious, I could only stabilize her first, saying that I would go over and see it to find out.

After hanging up the phone, I called Wang Huai again, told him what happened today, and asked him if he was free to take this job?

"Your classmate's mother-in-law? If you're in a hurry, you can go and see it tomorrow, I'm not busy tomorrow. ”

Wang Huai said to me, let me give the other party a reply.

"Okay."

I asked him if he had anything else to say, but Wang Huai told me to rest early, and he would come to me tomorrow to accompany me to have a look.

After hanging up, I threw away my phone and went to sleep, and I have to go to the class committee's house tomorrow to see things.

When I slept until morning, Yang Xiaojuan called me and asked when we were going, and she came to pick us up.

"Just give me the address, and we'll drive over."

I said to the other end of the phone in a daze, Yang Xiaojuan agreed, and hung up.

After lying down for a while, I got up and washed, and Wang Huai was already on his way to pick me up.

After getting in the car, Wang Huai took me to breakfast, and the two of them navigated all the way to the countryside according to the location given by Yang Xiaojuan, which was only about an hour away from our city.

Zao Township is Yang Xiaojuan's husband's house.

I guess I was afraid that we didn't know the road, so Yang Xiaojuan still came to the side of the road to wait for us.

"Is this your friend?"

Yang Xiaojuan saw that Wang Huai was young, and asked me a little incredulously.

"Yes, his name is Wang Huai, let's go to your house first."

I told her, Wang Huai greeted them politely, and Yang Xiaojuan took us to her house.

Yang Xiaojuan's village has a lot of sugarcane fields at a glance, planted a large area, the village is built on a mountain col, the common old mud houses in the countryside are two-story kind, upstairs for grain, downstairs for people.

When I arrived at Yang Xiaojuan's house, I found out that her house was one of the few bungalows, and when I arrived at the door, I saw an old man outside the house looking for something in the front and back rooms, and when I saw Yang Xiaojuan come back, I hurriedly told her: "Your mother-in-law is gone!" ”

Wang Huai and I looked at each other after hearing this, but Yang Xiaojuan was a little worried, and hurriedly went to find someone with his father-in-law.

"Let's go find out."

I told Wang Huai that the two of them also went together to help find the old man.

I looked into the pigsty and saw nothing, and the other three did not know where to go, so I went into the house again to look for it, but as soon as I entered the living room, a drop of blood fell from my head.

On the ceiling, an old woman was hanging upside down.
