Chapter 24: What's in the Bed

The woman's voice on the tape continued.

This made my heart pound, and I sat on the edge of the bed and wondered where the sound was coming from.

I listened to it for a long time, but the sound never sounded again, so I could only think that something was chopping something downstairs in the middle of the night. At that time, I could only think about this layer, but then I was so sleepy that I lay down and fell asleep again.

On the third day, when my son went to school, I cleaned up and mopped the floor to my house, and suddenly I noticed that the stain on the floor that could not be wiped off had grown twice as if it had been opened.

I thought it might have caused some kind of chemical reaction when I rubbed it with gasoline that day, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

In this way, it was night again, my son came back from self-study at night, and he still had to make papers, so I went straight to bed because I hadn't slept well for several days.

I was sleeping soundly when I was woken up.

When I opened my eyes and saw that it was my son, I was a little impatient and a little angry, but before I could speak, my son said to me in a bit of a hurry, 'Mom, why are you lying on the ground?' ’

I was shocked, and when I looked to the side, I was really lying on the ground, right next to the bed.

My son thought I had fainted, but I wondered, can I still wake up from my bed?

I got up from the ground and explained to my son that he had fallen out of bed after sleeping too hard and that it was fine, and asked him to go to sleep quickly, but the child was obviously worried and wanted to say something, but I stopped him.

I thought to myself, I can't sleep in the middle of the night if I say something scary.

After the child returned to the house, I lay on the bed and tossed and turned, and it took me a long time before I fell asleep, and when I woke up, my back ached, and I felt like I was riding on my neck.

My son went to school, and I didn't even clean up my home, so I just fell asleep. I couldn't wake up until my son opened the door with the key, and I was shocked to find that I hadn't even cooked lunch.

I quickly got up from the bed, feeling like I hadn't recovered much after a good night's sleep, as if my energy had been sucked dry by something.

So it was night again, and I went to bed early, but I hadn't slept long before I felt someone shake my arm.

When I opened my eyes, I found that it was my son again, and this time my son's face was very bad, and there was some panic in his eyes.

As soon as I saw him like this, I thought I was lying on the ground again, and I looked carefully to the side, and my heart chuckled.

I was standing with my hands still on the mattress. I gasped directly, hurriedly let go, and asked my son what was wrong with me?

The boy looked horrified and said, 'Mom, why don't we stay here?' ’

I was in a hurry and asked him what was wrong?

He said he was doing his homework in that room and heard the house thumping. He was a little strange, so he opened the door and looked into the house, and found that I had no lights on, and then he came in and asked me what I was doing, but when he saw me in the dark, standing by the bed, I was trying to move the big mattress.

My son turned on the light and saw that I was still lifting the mattress, and he came over and looked at it and was shocked.

He saw my hands lifting the mattress, but my eyes were closed.

He called Mom a few times, but I didn't pay attention to it, and I didn't open my eyes, just like sleepwalking.

My son was in a hurry and shook my arm wildly, and then I woke up.

But...... I really didn't know anything, I didn't feel anything. ”

"Ms. Xu, have you ever sleepwalked before?"

"No, I've never been sleepwalking, and I don't even talk much in my sleep.

I couldn't explain what was going on, I just thought there was something wrong with my body.

But my son was so scared that he didn't want to live here, so I just pouted him.

I thought at the time, after paying for the house for a year, we can't rent such a good location, and the two of us can still be scared away by dreams and sleepwalking, which is really ridiculous.

When my son saw that I didn't agree to move, he couldn't help it, so he slipped back to his house.

Then I pondered what had happened in the past few days, and my heart was somewhat strange, but there was no other way but to comfort myself that I should be fine with a good rest.

So I went back to sleep, but that night I had a terrible dream that scared me to move out the next day.

I must have just fallen asleep when a sound came to my ears, as if it was right next to my bed, like someone was brushing something with a brush.

I rolled over, my eyes half-open with dryness, and I vaguely saw someone crouching beside my bed, his arms bobbing back and forth on the floor.

It scared the hell out of me, and then I woke up. I fixed my eyes to see where there was someone next to the bed, it turned out that I was dreaming.

Even though it was a dream, it was so real that it scared me so much that I suddenly felt that my son was right, and there was nothing wrong with this house.

Later, I couldn't sleep, so I sat on the sofa in the living room and wondered how I could check out the rent.

But then I thought about it and fell asleep on the couch. I don't know if I'm tired after tossing and turning, but I slept soundly this night.

The next morning, I was woken up by my son, who asked me how I slept in the living room, and I didn't dare to tell him the truth, so I made up a lie that I slept in the room where my back hurt.

My son was skeptical, but didn't ask much. As soon as he left, I was ready to call the host to check out. Before the phone rang, the doorbell rang, and I opened the door to see that it was my house.

My husband runs a freight and only comes back once a week. I live here with my son, so my husband came straight here when he came back.

As soon as he came back to see what was on my mind, he asked me what was wrong, I told me about it, and then I also told me the idea of quitting the lease, and my husband almost died of laughter after hearing it.

…… Call...... He thought it was ridiculous to have to move because he had a nightmare. I told him at the time that I had the same idea at first, but it couldn't be so coincidental over and over again, it was so wrong.

On the one hand, my husband doesn't believe in evil and thinks that I am too childish to do this, and on the other hand, he thinks that he has signed a contract, and the rent will definitely not be refunded, at least there is a suitable reason, and he can't say that he doesn't want to rent because of nightmares.

What he said was right, and I knew that the rent would definitely not be refunded, but I didn't know why I was panicking.

My husband told me not to think in the direction of messiness, saying that he was there at night, and he would definitely make me sleep soundly.

When he said that, my heart relaxed a little.

But...... Unexpectedly, that night, not only did we encounter something strange, but we also got into trouble with that thing.

That night, my son had not finished school for self-study at night, and my husband took advantage of this gap to want to be with me. Xiao Bei seems to be newly married, he hasn't been home for a long time, although I am a little uncomfortable with that house, but I can't be disappointed, just with my husband.

It was almost the end, and when the mood was high, suddenly there was a thumping sound in the room, similar to what I had heard the night before.

I was in a state of excitement and thought that maybe we were moving a little violently, and the sound of the bed shaking was going downstairs and affecting others, causing dissatisfaction.

But we couldn't care so much when we were at our peak, and it was over soon anyway, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

When we were done, the thump came a few more times, and then it never rang again.

I felt a little strange at the time, but I couldn't explain why I felt this way.

After the two of us finished cleaning up, I also told my husband that the sound insulation of this building is not good, and there was a protest downstairs just now.

My husband looked puzzled, what do you say?

I said didn't you hear that? Downstairs should be knocking on the floor or something, didn't you hear such a loud sound?

My husband didn't speak at the time, and I didn't pay much attention to it, but after the accident, he recalled that he really didn't hear it, and he thought it was because he was too excited to ignore the other voices.

That night, maybe he was there, so I slept well, but at about three o'clock in the morning, I was woken up by the sound of 'dong dong'.

I was a little annoyed, thinking to myself what this downstairs was for, but at this time, I suddenly noticed that the sound did not seem to come from downstairs, it was very close, as if it was ...... emanating from the bed where we slept.

This scared me so much that I sat up and woke my husband up.

I asked him if he heard it, and he asked me what I was talking about with sleepy eyes, and then the thump came again, and I said, can't you hear this sound? Coming out of the bed.

My husband was a little speechless, I could tell that he wasn't pretending, he couldn't hear the voice.

Now I was even more scared, I said there must be something in the bed, and my husband said that I was having a nervous breakdown these days.

I said absolutely impossible, but when he saw that I was so scared, he looked at his watch and said that when it was dawn, he would move the mattress out of the way and see what was inside.

I said no, move now, my husband was a little unhappy, and at this time, there was a knocking sound in the bed again.

This time, my husband was stunned, and he heard it too.

He believed me, but he thought there might be a rat in the bed.

He and I rolled up the mattress and quilt and moved them out, and together we moved the mattress aside.

This bed is a box bed, and the bed board is divided into two pieces, the front and back, which can be removed and can be used to put things inside.

I actually noticed it when I moved in, but because the mattress was so big and thick, I couldn't move it alone, so I gave up putting things inside.

At this time, I think that maybe my husband is right, there should be rats inside. ”

"Smack~!" After the first tape was all played, Qin Ding put the second tape in.

"Rustle......

My husband told me to be clever and not let the rats run away. He carefully lifted the board at the end of the bed, and nothing came out, but a layer of dust came out, and I was a little nauseous, and I thought that I had slept in this bed for many days.

My husband took the bed board off and stood aside, and I looked inside, and it was all dust and some newspapers and stuff, and there were no mice.

I handed him a flashlight and asked him to look for rat droppings. After looking for a long time, there was not a single mouse droppings.

Then my husband went to lift the board at the head of the bed, and he said that the rat must be here, so I should be ready.

I had a broom in my hand and my eyes were staring, and my husband lifted the board, but nothing came out, and we were both surprised.

Then he removed the bed board as well, and we both looked inside, and we were stunned.

There were no rats in it, but there was a dusty suit.

My husband took the flashlight and shone it again, and I saw that he shone it down, and he shone the flashlight down, and probed back and forth, and then gasped and straightened up.

His face suddenly turned strange, and he looked incredulous.

I asked him what was wrong, he didn't speak, frowned as if he was thinking about something, I took the flashlight directly from his hand and shone it in, it didn't matter, my hairs stood up at once.

I saw that the wooden walls in the bed shell were full of large handprints, and what made me even more frightened was that I found that the set of clothes placed inside was actually a set of shrouds. ”
