C31 Phantom at night

Nodding my head, I replied, "En, I always feel that it might be better if we stay here and look for a village in the surrounding countryside. Don't all of them have courtyards?" It should be much better for our family to stay in there than under someone else's roof. "

Chen Ming thought for a moment: "Is it because you don't want to live under others' shelter, or because you don't want to face all these here?"

"All of them …" I hate to face such a sad thing. Especially when we talk about it today, it makes me feel even more uncomfortable staying here. "

Without replying to me, Chen Ming said in a rare gentle tone, "Don't think about it anymore, rest first tonight."

As he turned around, I didn't know what to think. I glanced around the dark room and grabbed his arm with two quick steps.

Chen Ming paused, and turned his face to look at me without speaking a word.

I turned my face away from him. "I'm a bit night blind. Hold on."

In the darkness, Chen Ming laughed: "Your night sickness is quite sudden."

The door to the courtyard was initially open, but when Chen Ming walked into the courtyard while holding his arm, he stopped in his tracks.

Before I could say anything, he suddenly raised his head towards the second floor and shouted, "Who's there?!"

Hearing that, I immediately looked up towards the second floor, but it was empty, other than the pitch black window, there was no one else, just when I was about to ask Chen Ming about it, he suddenly rushed into the building.

Chen Ming and I stayed on the second floor the moment we came in. However, because the rooms on the second floor didn't have any toilets, we were forcefully dragged to the first floor. As a result, no one had went up to the second floor for a long time … At this time, Chen Ming suddenly shouted towards the dark second floor, adding on to the discussion about ghosts over at my mother's side, Chen Ming suddenly ran away, I stayed in my original spot looking around the quiet courtyard, and after shivering violently, I quickly ran up.

Chen Ming ran very fast, while I was distracted he already rushed to the second floor, after entering the house, there was not even the dim moonlight, I could not even see his fingers, but I suddenly did not have the courage to climb the pitch black stairs to the second floor.

As soon as he stopped, the surroundings instantly became quiet. The sound seemed to have been swallowed up by the ink-like darkness.

Other than Chen Ming's footsteps on the second floor, the only sound around him was his own heartbeat.

I opened my eyes wide and looked around in vain for a while before finally finding the courage to shout towards the second floor: "Chen Ming … Where are you? "

Maybe because my voice was too soft, and Chen Ming didn't answer me, I could only raise my voice to speak.

This time, there was a slight tremble in my voice. I didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but I felt that in the darkness around me, there was a pair of eyes glaring at me, waiting for an opportunity to rush out and kill me.

After the upstairs was quiet for two seconds, they heard very light footsteps coming towards the stairs, followed by Chen Ming's voice: "Don't be afraid, stand still, I'll come find you in a while."

Hearing Chen Ming's voice, I was about to heave a sigh of relief, then a white light flashed in my brain. Suddenly, I noticed a detail that made me freeze in place.

Chen Ming's voice was very vague, clearly, it came from the innermost part of the second floor, and the light footstep that I heard just now was clearly above the stairs in front of me!

The footsteps were not Chen Ming's!

After reacting, I suddenly turned around, and used all my might to run out the door. At the same time, I used all of my strength to shout: "Chen Ming! "Save me!"

I don't know why I shouted like that, but I subconsciously felt that person in the darkness … He would definitely not be a good person!

Even I was startled by the shout. It was so miserable that it almost lost its normal tone.

Just as I was about to reach the door to the living room, the sound of light footsteps behind me finally grew louder.

The heavy footsteps of the silent man came closer and closer to me, almost suffocating me.

Then, the sound of quick footsteps came from the second floor. Chen Ming heard my call and hurried downstairs.

Quickly, we ran onto the road outside the courtyard. I conveniently picked up the hoe that was previously casually placed by the side of the door by Chou Chou, which was placed there by him previously. At that time, he jokingly told me to find Hu Yongqiang to dig the ground, so as to not let him risk his life when he leaves, but rather, to not let him become my personal protection weapon in the nick of time.

With this guy in my hand, I instantly became more confident. I turned around abruptly and placed my hoe in front of me. I shouted towards the figure in the yard, "Who are you?!"

That person probably noticed that I had an extra weapon in my hand, coupled with the fact that Chen Ming's footsteps were approaching the first floor, he stopped for a moment, turned around, and jumped from the metal wall into the yard next to mine.

I didn't even have time to react before I rushed out of the side yard and disappeared into the darkness.

All of this happened in a few seconds. That person's movements were extremely fast, and I was so scared that my head was spinning, so even when Chen Ming ran over to me and asked if I was alright, I still remained staring at that person's direction.

"Are you okay?"

"... No... "I'm fine …"

After I glanced in the direction that I was looking, Chen Ming seemed to be prepared to give chase, but I, who had just regained my senses, grabbed him back. "Don't go … Don't go... I'm afraid alone. "

He turned around and glanced at me, and he didn't know if Chen Ming was really able to see my expression clearly. He asked: "Do you want to go back to your mother's place?"

I shook my head. "No …" At night. There's no place for us to live. If we go back, Grandma and Mom and Dad will definitely be suspicious, so they won't be able to sleep tonight. "

"Do you dare to enter this place?"

Looking at the pitch-black room, it was as if it was a giant beast with its mouth wide open, causing people to feel fearful at first glance.

Subconsciously grabbing onto Chen Ming's clothes, he moved closer to him. "Don't suddenly leave … Is there anyone else here? "

Chen Ming shook his head. Just you and me. "

I didn't think that my little mouse guts would actually follow Chen Ming back into this room. When I laid back on the bed, after living with Chen Ming for such a long time, when I woke up, I kept leaning on him. If it wasn't for Chen Ming's disagreement, I would have really wanted to curl up in his embrace.

The bedroom door was locked, but I still felt insecure, as if a shadow might burst out of the room.

It was almost impossible to sleep because of a high level of mental stress.

I cleared my throat and chose to talk to Chen Ming, "You … Who do you think that person was just now? Why is it in our house? "

"I don't know."

"Could it be because of the death of sister Wang's child …?" Something to do with it? "

This time Chen Ming did not answer my question, but only opened his mouth and softly said, "Sleep, I'm here, so you don't have to be afraid."

...

The next day, I was woken up by Chen Ming's shout, and when I opened my eyes, the sunlight had already shone through the window. It should be late by now.

He quickly got up and put on his clothes. After washing himself in the cold water, he prepared to go to my mother's place.

While walking on the road, Chen Ming suddenly stopped in his tracks, and stared at the grass at the side.

The snow on the road had almost melted, and the grass on the ground had not melted yet. At this moment, the row of clear footprints on the ground looked very eye-catching.

I frowned. If I remember correctly, the man must have dived into the grass just about at this point last night.

Stepping forward a few steps, Chen Ming crouched down and carefully observed his surroundings for a long time before opening his mouth: "It's actually him."

Hearing that, I hastily went over. "Do you know who it is?"

Chen Ming frowned slightly as he replied, "Yes."

"Who is it?"

Raising his head to look at his surroundings, he opened his mouth: "Hu Yongqiang."

"How could that be?" I was shocked. "How did you know?"

Chen Ming reached out his hand, and placed two of his fingers inside the shoe print, then pointed to the previous footprint and spoke up: "His foot is a bit crooked."

It took me a while to digest this news, "No... How could it be him? Why is he hiding on the second floor of our house so late at night? Why did you shout for him to run? "

"Don't alarm the others. Come with me to a place tonight."

...

On the way back to my mother's house, I met Cheng Liang who was in a hurry. Seeing me and Chen Ming, he unnaturally greeted me, and after Chen Ming stared at him for a while, he suddenly and mysteriously moved closer to speak: "I heard about something today."

"What is it?" Not only Cheng Liang, even I was getting curious.

Normally, Chen Ming would never say more than that, he actually took the initiative to act as the person who spread the news.

"I heard that the dead child was still alive last night …"

Cheng Liang's expression changed, "I said Chen Ming … You wouldn't believe those ghosts and gods, right? If you can scare those women, can you? "

Chen Ming waved his hand: "It's fine if you don't believe it, but... My wife and I have been hearing children crying outside the house for the past few nights. Her voice sounds a little like Tian Tian's. Sister Wang's son's name)

This time, Cheng Liang was also a little hesitant, "Is this for real … Why are you suddenly telling me all this? "

"I want to ask you, why don't you take that child's corpse out and burn it? If you don't, you won't be able to sleep peacefully in the future, and every night you listen to terrifying voices."

Hearing this, I had pretty much understood what Chen Ming was trying to do, and quickly followed up: "That's right … "One day, I thought someone was beating up a child. Then, I wondered which family would hit up a child in the middle of the night …"

The group of people did not understand Chen Ming. He was the typical type of person who would not be able to produce a fart with two slaps, floating around and not talk all day, he was pretty much like a ghost, yet he actually talked so much nonsense with Cheng Liang. It was obvious that he had his own plans.

Chen Ming's ability to trick others was not any weaker than Zhao Ben Shan's, and he managed to trick Cheng Liang into acting like a fool. He kept rubbing the back of his head, looking around, and it was clear that he believed it.
