C30 Doubt

Because the child's death was too strange, countless versions of the rumor began to spread in the courtyard.

The King Little Sister Wang stayed at home all day, unwilling to go out. She even stubbornly buried her child in the flower bed in front of her house.

As a result, most people thought that the King and Little Sister Wang were under too much mental pressure and had gone mad. That was why they killed their children when they were ill.

Even if it's really a sickness, how can it be two people who are sick at the same time? This was simply nonsense.

The other version was even more unreliable.

That was the dead Zhang Ping couple … Because he couldn't bear to part with his two children, he stayed in the courtyard like a ghost. The vengeful spirit couldn't bear to see the children of another family kowtowing, so he killed the children of another family.

Such an absurd story made the families who had children panic.

and Nian Bing were unable to go out. As long as the two of them appeared, everyone would leave.

They were afraid that if they got close enough, they would attract the vengeful spirits that were lingering around them.

What made people feel even more helpless was that Chou Chou and Qi Qi, the two cowards, actually started to believe in that version.

Even his mother started to not allow him to get too close to Nian Bing.

Finally, after two days of this, I couldn't take it anymore and opened my mouth at the table, "You guys are almost done! Do you really believe this kind of story?! "

Mother hugged Tian Tian and didn't answer me. Chou Chou glanced at Nuo Nuo who was in Chen Ming's embrace and Nian Bing who was in Lin Wei's embrace, and said, "I'm not willing to believe … It's because you saw what happened that day. "How scary …"

"Fragrant Xu!" Can you have some common sense? Even if they were scary, it didn't have anything to do with ghosts! Where did you learn all those years of studying?! " Xiao Yu also felt helpless.

"That's not it, Xiao Yu, you don't understand. Let's just talk about ghosts and gods. There's no way we can explain it even if it's scientific. You can't not believe it." After Chou Chou finished speaking, he tugged at Qi Qi, "You're right."

Qi Qi was always timid, so she also shrunk her neck and replied, "Yes! I've been dreaming about Sister Zhang Ping these past two days … "

"Don't think too much into it!" Xu Yiwen interrupted Qi Qi Qi's words: "You think too much during the day, but can you not dream about it at night?"

"Brother …" You don't understand... "I am serious …"

"What happened?" Dawn, who could move about easily, was already sitting at the dining table. It was rare for her to make a sound and ask this.

I looked at him. "You don't know, a few days ago a child died in our compound …" The Way To Die... Something was amiss … "So, there's a rumor that our compound is haunted."

Hearing this, Dawn frowned, "Wherever there is trouble, there must be trouble."

After he finished speaking, it was unknown if Sun Miao, who was standing at the side, was doing it intentionally or unintentionally. "Before that child was strangled to death, there was a wound left on the back of his head by another heavy object."

"What do you mean?" Xu Yiwen put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Are you guys saying, that child was really killed by someone?"

Sun Miao swept his eyes across him: "Could it be that you really think there's a ghost?"

Xu Yiwen was startled, then said: "I can't figure it out, could it be that Sister Wang killed the child?"

Dawn opened her mouth again, "The mother and the child shouldn't be the only suspect in this courtyard, right?"

With that said, the room immediately became deathly silent.

We looked at each other and no one spoke.

Extremely terrifying … Goosebumps rose all over me again.

According to Dawn's explanation, if Sister Wang didn't kill the child, then anyone in the courtyard could have done so …

After a long while, my father put down the bowl in his hands and said to us, "It's done. The child has already been buried. Why are you still talking about this?"

I shook my head. "No, dad. If what I said was true, then someone else might have killed that child!"

"First, let's not talk about whether your guess is right or not. Even if it was really killed by someone else, what can we do?" This has nothing to do with us. We've been through a lot of trouble lately, if you still want to stay here, then don't meddle in other people's business! Besides, since we're already dead, so what if we find out who the real culprit is? "

"Dad, let me tell you this, if it really was the other people in the courtyard who did this, then what is their goal?" "We don't know about this, we can only guess. Firstly, they had a conflict with Sister Wang's family, which is very unlikely, Sister Wang wouldn't make such a big fuss about it with others, we don't know about it yet, and even if there is, that person would kill their child ruthlessly just because of a quarrel, and that person would become a disaster to us sooner or later."

My father didn't answer, as if he was waiting for me to continue.

Looking at the crowd, I continued, "After that, if all of these don't make up the reason, then the child's death is the truth. I don't really believe that it was Big Sister Zhang Ping's ghost that killed the child, so if I were to speak freely, what is the greatest probability that it is?"

The dining table was once again quiet for a while. Chen Ming who was originally eating with his head held low suddenly spoke out: "Now we should be thinking about who the murderer is planning to kill next."

Just as he finished speaking, Qi Qi's chopsticks fell on the table and she looked at Chen Ming with a shaky voice, "Are you saying that ghosts will continue to kill people?"

Chen Ming shook his head: "That's not what I meant." After that, she looked at me. "He Mo, come accompany me to a place after dinner."

Qi Qi who was not looking well instantly turned even worse after hearing that.

Seeing that, Xu Yiwen patted on Qi Qi Qi's arm, but was pushed away by his. There was nothing he could do, Xu Yiwen could only smile helplessly at me.

During this period of time, Dawn's gaze had been on Chen Ming. It was a little strange, as if he had been acting strange since the moment he had seen Chen Ming.

After dinner, I invited her to join us because she wasn't happy.

Regarding this, Chen Ming had no objections, he glanced at the two of us and took the lead by turning around to leave.

Before we left, my parents called out to me. They probably wanted me to stay behind so they could just let and Qi Qi Qi go out with me.

After thinking for a while, I called out to Chen Ming who was outside the room: "You two go first, I'll look for you guys later." He pushed his out of the room.

After closing the door, my parents nodded to me in satisfaction before they went to pack up the dishes.

After glancing at the first light of dawn, I followed her back to the house.

Recently, because he had moved into my grandmother's room, she had already slept in the room I had previously slept in. Living with Xiaoyu.

"What's the matter?" Noticing that I had come in and closed the door, Dawn leaned against the headboard and waited for me to speak.

After thinking for a while: "I still want to ask you, did you know Chen Ming before? The first time you saw him, you reacted strangely. "

Dawn didn't immediately answer my question. After a long while, he said, "But …" He looked familiar. Like a friend of mine. "

"Is that friend important to you?"

"..." He is a rather strong person and his temper is similar to Chen Ming's, so when he saw you, he was a little surprised. "

"Can you tell me his name?"

"Lock the sky."

"The lock is his surname?"

"Right."

"What a strange name."

...

After figuring out the reason for Dawn's strange expression, he chatted with him for a bit before heading out to the living room to sit down.

His parents had already cleaned up the dishes and sat beside me. His mother asked, "Silently, tell his mother the truth, do you like that brat Chen Ming?"

I was so shocked by Mom's sudden question that I almost choked on my saliva. I quickly glanced at Xiao Yu and Lin Wei who were at the side and shook my hands, "Mom, what nonsense are you spouting? "How is that possible?"

My mom sighed, "If there's nothing good, then we're friends. She seems to have taken a liking to Chen Ming, you better not get involved."

My heart skipped a beat and the corners of my mouth twitched. "…" It's just that I'm more familiar with the place, but … How could I like him? "

"That's good. The first thing we need to think about is how to survive. Those feelings and love, you're still young, don't think about those things."

"I know, I know." I stiffly pulled the corner of my mouth and responded to my mother's words.

Lin Wei and Xiao Yu were watching me from the side, their expressions were unclear.

After Mom and Dad returned to the room, the two of them came over, "What do you want? Just be stubborn! When you cry, we won't care about you! "

Chen Ming and Qi Qi just returned after half an hour. When they returned, Qi Qi was hiding by Chen Ming's side, her face was pale white.

Xu Yiwen was shocked, he hurried forward and pulled Qi Qi, then looked at Chen Ming warily: "What's going on? What happened to her? "

Chen Ming patted his shoulder and asked: "Are you alright?"

Seeing Qi Qi shaking his head, he replied Xu Yiwen, "I brought her to where the child was buried."

"What are you doing there?"

Chen Ming sat on the sofa, seemingly not prepared to answer Xu Yiwen. He took the cup of water that Grandma passed to him and sipped on it, then looked at me: "I'm going back, do you want to join me?"

Looking at the dark sky outside the door, I scanned the room and said, "Alright, let's go."

Before we left, my grandma followed behind me and said, "Silent, don't listen to your parents. Just do whatever you want to do. If grandma isn't dead, then what they said doesn't count."

All of a sudden, I didn't understand what my grandmother was referring to. I just smiled and nodded, then went out the door.

She didn't seem to approve of the way my parents told me not to have any intentions towards Chen Ming for Qiqi, and it was only when we were on the road that she finally understood what their grandmother meant.

Actually, Grandmother had been showing a 100% liking of Chen Ming from the beginning.

Just as I was about to reach home, I looked at the pitch black building, and spoke to Chen Ming. "Do you still want to continue staying here?"

Hearing this, Chen Ming turned around and looked at me. The moonlight wasn't bright, so I couldn't see his face clearly: "You want to leave?"
