I originally thought that the fear would disappear after we figured out what happened in the kitchen, but we didn’t expect that the feeling of fear would still hit us after we heard that sound coming from the living room again. Moreover, my feeling of fear seemed to still be there at this time.
It has become even more powerful.
Fear can be fermented and accumulated. What’s more, in such an environment? Although there is an explanation for what happened in the kitchen, is that explanation true? What’s even more frightening is that the sound in the kitchen seems to
It's similar to the cabinet exploding, but what about the sound outside? It sounded like someone was walking around. What can be used to explain such a thing? The floor tiles are exploding? Impossible, right?
Tong Yao's eyes were full of fear, and her face was terrifyingly pale. She was looking at me with a pleading look and expression. In fact, why wasn't I afraid? Besides, I had hoped that she would figure it out for me today.
Problem, but I ignored the fact that she was a woman, so I knew immediately: to overcome this fear, I had to go out and see what happened.
I made a silence gesture to her, then slowly stretched my head out of the kitchen door, and then quietly looked into the living room. At this moment, I was extremely scared, extremely frightened, and my heart was pounding.
It was beating wildly and it became difficult to breathe.
"Did you see anything?" She asked me softly from behind.
I shook my head. All I could see was the scene in the living room: the TV was on, the sound was very low, and the food on the dining table was still there, looking a little messy. Other than that, there was nothing unusual outside.
I walked out slowly, and she quickly followed behind me. We stood next to the kitchen, just like that. I said, "There's nothing? What's going on?"
She asked me: "Did you hear the same sound last night?"
I nodded, "Yeah. It's terrible."
She said: "There must be a reason, and such a sound will not appear without reason."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: I knew you were saying this, but you were more scared than me just now! I said: "Forget it, let's get out of here. Some things are hard to explain. Maybe there are some things in this world that cannot be used now."
Science can explain it. Let’s go, it’s too scary to stay here.”
She looked at me, "Feng Xiao, let me ask you, if Chen Yuan's soul really comes back, would you be afraid?"
I was stunned immediately, and after a while I replied: "I shouldn't be afraid, because she won't do anything to me. She was so kind when she was alive, and her soul should be the same even after death.
"
She nodded, "There is a movie in the United States called Ghosts, have you seen it? In fact, if a person really has a soul after death, it would be a very romantic thing."
I was very surprised, "Tong Yao, are you not afraid anymore?"
She said: "Afraid! Why aren't you afraid?! But I'm even more curious. Because I really don't believe that such a thing exists. I used to be a police officer, and it has always been my professional habit to figure out the problems I suspect. Now
Although I am scared, I hope to understand things more."
I shook my head and said: "Tong Yao, forget it. This is not a big deal. Maybe when we figure it out, we will find out that the noise is caused by a very common reason, just like the sound in the kitchen.
.So, I don’t think we need to think so much. So, I’ll take you back now.”
She was still shaking her head, and then ran to the sofa and turned off the TV, "No. I still have to figure it out today."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Okay, let's eat something more, I'm not full yet."
She smiled and said: "Okay, let's drink some more wine. Wine can strengthen your courage."
We sat down at the dining table again, but found that the food was a little cold. I said, "I'm going to heat it up and add some water to the chicken soup and stew it again. It's too salty."
She said: "I'll go."
I looked at her, "Are you really not afraid anymore?"
She said: "Afraid. Why not? But I have to force myself to go. Judging from today's situation, it shows that I am still not suitable to be a policeman. Therefore, I feel that I should be fired. But I can't continue like this.
, I have to exercise my courage."
I didn't know what to say, so I nodded and said, "Okay."
She said: "The two of us are inside and outside, maybe we will find the source of the sound."
I suddenly remembered something, "Tong Yao, don't you think it's strange? In the afternoon I was sleeping and you were busy in the kitchen alone, and then you were watching TV on the sofa. Why didn't you hear anything during that process?
Where are any strange sounds?”
She was startled for a moment, and then answered me: "Maybe it's because of the daytime, because some subtle sounds cannot be heard during the day. And I was still cooking at the time, and the noise was very loud. No matter what, now
The situation is that we all heard an unusual sound, so we must find out the sound tonight, and we must also discover the reason for it."
I nodded, "Okay. I'll listen outside."
So she went in, and I sat at the dining table and started eating the cold dishes, and slowly drank. To be honest, I really like this way of drinking, after all, it is very relaxing and comfortable.
In fact, I was very focused while eating and drinking, and my ears were very attentive to listening to every sound around me.
At this moment, Tong Yao had turned off the TV, and the surroundings were so quiet that I could clearly hear the sound of a pin dropping. Now, the only sounds I could hear were the slight noises Tong Yao made in the kitchen.
.
Tong Yao came out and brought some other dishes on the table to be heated in the microwave. She looked at me and smiled, shaking her head at the same time.
I also laughed, "Did we all misunderstood just now? Was it the sound coming from outside the house?"
She smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe." Then she carried the plate and went to the kitchen again.
I couldn't help but shake my head, thinking that this matter might be due to unnecessary fear because we were too nervous. Regarding my situation last night, the same may be true. As Tong Yao analyzed, maybe it was because my home was too quiet.
But I was too lonely and alone, so I heard some sounds outside as coming from inside my home.
This is a materialistic world, how could something like that happen?
So, now I feel that when we face such a thing, the only way is to ignore it. Many things are like this. Once you pay special attention to it, it will add unnecessary trouble and annoyance to yourself. Don’t be surprised,
Just let it be.
However, when I was thinking wildly here, I suddenly heard Tong Yao's shrill, terrifying scream coming from the kitchen, "Ah..."
I was startled, immediately stood up from my seat, and ran quickly towards the kitchen.
In front of her, Tong Yao was looking at the stove with a horrified face. She pointed at that place, "Feng Xiao, cockroach! How come you have something like that in your house?"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "There are cockroaches in the house, what's so strange about it? Which house doesn't have these things?"
She kept tapping her chest lightly, "It scared me to death."
I smiled bitterly and said: "Tong Yao, you are too nervous. I really can't imagine that you are still a policeman. You are even afraid of this thing!"
She glared at me and said, "Stop talking. Come and serve me the food."
The dishes on the table are all hot, and the chicken soup is no longer as salty as before. I smiled and said: "Tong Yao, I finally understand why we Jiangnan people like to eat twice-cooked pork so much. It turns out that this dish needs to be tasted a second time.
It will be better."
She laughed, then stretched out her hand and hit me lightly, "Yuck!"
I looked at her, "Are you really going to live here today?"
She nodded and then looked at me, "Feng Xiao, are you safe here?"
I didn't understand what she meant, "What's unsafe? Except for the noises we just heard, but as long as you're not afraid."
She glared at me and then smiled, "I mean, as long as you are safe, then I am safe. The most terrifying thing in the world is us humans, not ghosts and gods."
I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Didn't you already test me? I'm not as bad as you think."
She laughed and said, "That's true. I think you are pretty good. From now on, I will look for a husband like you, but I can't be as fussy as you."
I immediately laughed, "You are so powerful, which man dares to bother you? Are you looking for death?"
She immediately looked very unhappy, "Feng Xiao, you made me sound like a tigress. Am I that powerful?"
I stopped laughing and nodded to her seriously: "Of course, you are indeed very powerful!"
She stared at me without saying a word, but then she laughed, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to be angry with you. Come on, let's drink."
I also laughed. In fact, I was joking with her. Of course she should understand. This is how two people are together. If everyone is too serious, it will be very embarrassing.
So we drank while talking, and eventually we forgot about the noise in the house. The conversation between her and I became more enjoyable. (To be continued)
