I walked a little further and found that the three people kneeling at the door of Shu Po's house were none other than the old man's family.

It was dark, and they didn't seem to notice our approach.

The voice gradually became clearer: "Shu Po, you know this kind of thing best. Please help my family ask the Xian family if Hu Ningshe is responsible for this?"

The door to Po Shu's house was never opened, and the three of them just knelt outside.

"Grandma," I asked in a low voice, "They came to Shu Po because of the person Hu Zi was carrying."

"Let's go. Since his family is here, we don't need to meddle in other people's business."

Grandma took me away.

By this time the sky was starting to turn gray and the sun was about to set.

As expected, Bai Jiuyan was not here today. I slept very deeply, but in the middle of the night, Lao Hei suddenly roared.

I opened my hazy sleepy eyes and glanced at my watch. I didn't know if the watch was broken. The hands on it were spinning around on the dial, and I couldn't tell what time it was.

I put on my slippers and opened my door. Lao Hei was standing at my door. He kept shouting at the door. I rubbed my eyes and looked around, but there was nothing in the yard.

"Shh, silly dog, don't bark." I touched his head and glanced towards grandma's room.

There were no lights in Grandma's room, but she was always alert. Logically speaking, it was impossible for her not to wake up when Lao Hei screamed so loudly.

I felt the wall and walked to my grandma's house. Her door was not closed, and I heard someone talking, it seemed like an old male voice.

Who would come to my house so late? And why not turn on the lights?

I slowly approached and heard grandma say: "What are you talking about? Are you not looking for trouble now?"

Who is in the room?

I walked in quietly, and grandma's voice became clearer: "Ningshe is very good at my house, so don't worry about her. Take good care of the child, and don't come to me."

The man seemed helpless: "You clearly know that no one can escape."

Grandma urged: "Okay, you go quickly."

The man refused and said, "Think again about what I said."

I noticed that the man seemed to be leaving, so I quickly returned to the room, covered myself with a quilt and pretended to sleep.

Grandma came in after a while, and she tucked me in: "Good boy..."

I pretended to wake up from my dream, and was surprised when I saw grandma: "Grandma, why don't you sleep?"

Grandma wiped her eyes: "I can't sleep, so I came to see you. Did you dream of anything?"

I shook my head: "No, grandma."

I think grandma today is a little different from usual. She seems to have a lot to say, but she still wants to stop talking.

I asked: "Grandma, are you going to say something?"

"Go to sleep. I have to go out. Don't go anywhere at home. Wait for me to come back."

"Now?" I looked at my watch again. It was three o'clock in the night. The watch had been restored, as if what I just saw was an illusion. "At three o'clock, grandma, where are you going? I'll be with you tomorrow morning.

go."

Grandma disagreed, and she looked very fierce. She had never been so cruel to me: "Grandma spilled rice at the door. You have a good sleep, and nothing will happen when you wake up."

"What? Grandma, no, it's too dark outside at night, and you were bitten by a snake."

"That little wound is nothing. Okay, you must not go out tonight." Grandma insisted that I promise her, but I couldn't resist, so I had no choice but to agree.

Seeing me nodding, grandma finally touched my head with satisfaction and led Lao Hei outside the house into the house. "Lao Hei is watching over you, don't worry. Remember not to go out. I have the key. Don't call anyone."

Open the door."

I nodded solemnly and tied Lao Hei's rope to the corner of my bed.

When grandma left the house, I heard her lock my door and even the yard door.

Although I was lying on the bed, I couldn't sleep anymore, so I simply sat on the straw mat and lay down with Lao Hei.

Suddenly, Lao Hei turned his ears and stood up suddenly. He was tall. With such a pull, my bed made a "squeak".

"What's wrong, Lao Hei?" I was really afraid that he would pull my bed apart, so I grabbed its rope with one hand and held it in my arms to comfort it.

"Well..." Lao Hei tensed up and stretched his head forward, sometimes facing the door and sometimes behind me.

"Old Hei."

I also became vigilant. Could it be that something had entered my house?

However, my family has changed from a thatched house to an adobe house. Later, my uncle's family built a new house with asbestos tiles for my grandma. In terms of safety, it is quite safe.

I gently untied the rope that Lao Hei tied to the bed, and quietly pulled him towards the door. There was a hole bitten by a mouse at the foot of the door, so I lay down.

The wind outside was blowing loudly, and some coolness poured in through the crack of the broken door. I looked out curiously with my big eyes open, and suddenly a pair of red embroidered shoes appeared in front of me.

I was startled and leaned back almost instinctively. Lao Hei barked at the door. I hugged him tightly and pulled him back.

Something outside the door was banging and banging hard on the door. The already shabby door started to tremble and was held up by two hinges and the door lock. My heart was in my throat.

I patted the thing for a long time and bumped it hard several times. I quickly pressed the old cabinet against the door. There were quilts and clothes in the cabinet. There were very few things. The cabinet did not play a big role, so I had to hold on with my whole body.

cabinet.

Lao Hei's roar became louder, and I was so scared that I almost cried. But I heard my grandma say that people have three fires, and those things dare not attack easily.

Maybe the comfort in my heart had an effect, and I wasn't so scared anymore.

The wind outside the house was still very loud, blowing the cloth covering my window flying, and the banging at the door suddenly stopped.

I took a long breath and pulled Lao Hei towards the bed, intending to climb onto the bed and hang up the cloth covering the window again.

When I climbed into bed, a pair of bloody hands suddenly slapped on the window, and the fingers slowly tightened, leaving two palm prints on the window.

"Ah!" I was really frightened. Unknowingly, the cloth in my hand was soaked. My hands slid down the window. I was so frightened that I approached the window like a puppet and hung the cloth tremblingly.

Put on the nails.

A terrifying face suddenly appeared in front of the glass, only nearly ten centimeters away from me. It was a blue face, with deeply sunken eye sockets, and two three-centimetre-long blood stains flowing from its dilated pupils.

Something unknown whether it was blood or tears was still flowing down, and her long, straight black hair fell down to her eyes. Her face was twisted into a terrifying ridge and ravine, which scared me so much that I almost fainted.

She and I just looked at each other, as if we had lost the ability to control our bodies.

She opened her mouth quietly and spat out each word one by one: "Why don't you open the door in the house?"
