After being quiet for a while, the footsteps in the living room sounded again.
Li Ming felt something was wrong. Aren't they his parents outside the door?
But besides myself and my parents, who else is there in this family?
Was there a burglar in the house?
That's not possible. I have shouted several times. If it were a thief, he would have run away long ago.
"wrong!!"
Li Ming's heart trembled. He had just yelled, but his parents, who were just across the wall from him, didn't respond at all?
"Who is that in the living room?!"
Li Ming's eyes were frightened. He pulled the quilt over his body, curled up and hid under the quilt, and pressed the edge of the quilt under him. It seemed that only in this way could he bring him the only sense of security.
Under the covers, Li Ming was trembling with fear, and his heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it would jump into his throat.
Li Ming didn't even dare to take a breath, and quietly listened to the sounds outside the room through the quilt.
"Creak, creak..."
The footsteps in the living room continued, walking back and forth slowly and slowly.
The footsteps were like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Ming's heart. Even if he was covered in bed and his face turned red, he couldn't drive away the coldness in his limbs, and his whole body was shivering.
"Creak, creak..."
Suddenly, Li Ming looked suffocated, and the strange footsteps stopped.
"Zizzi, zizi..."
Li Ming's eyes were frightened, and his body that was huddled in bed froze. This new sound seemed to be the sound of sharp nails scratching the door, and it was his own door!!!
That man was standing at the door of his bedroom, scratching the door with his nails?
Li Ming curled up in the quilt, his heart beating violently.
Soon, the sound of scratching at the door disappeared.
However, Li Ming had a feeling that the man seemed to be standing at the door of his bedroom all the time, but he didn't know what he was going to do next?
Is he planning to enter his bedroom?!
With a sad face, Li Ming murmured: "Don't come in, don't come in!"
Li Ming huddled in the bed and shivered. As soon as he closed his eyes, a pale face seemed to appear in his mind. Those eyes were still glowing with red light, as if they were appearing on the head of his bed, looking directly at him.
He stared at himself seductively, his gaze seemed to penetrate directly through the quilt, making people feel terrified.
The more nervous Li Ming became, the more rapid his breathing became. The air in the bed became scarcer, and his whole body was almost starved of oxygen.
"Huhuhu..."
Li Ming suddenly opened the quilt and sat up, breathing heavily. His face, which was originally red from being stuffy, was cooling down rapidly.
Under the dim light of the night light, Li Ming carefully looked at his bedroom. The doors and windows were tightly closed, and there was nothing there.
It was as if everything I heard before was an illusion.
Li Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was really scaring himself.
"Zizzi, zizi..."
The sound of sharp nails scratching the door reappeared. This time Li Ming listened more carefully. This sound... he was sure and definitely scratching his own door.
Suddenly, Li Ming's pupils shrank sharply, and he saw the doorknob of his door turning slowly.
The person outside the door is coming in!
"Click!"
The bedroom door was opened a small gap. As the door opened, Li Ming felt that the whole room suddenly became cold, as if there was a different scene of ice and snow outside the door.
His teeth were chattering up and down. What he was seeing was beyond the scope of Li Ming, a ten-year-old child. He could only cover his mouth with his hands and try not to cry out.
The bedroom door opened wider and wider, and Li Ming suppressed the fear in his heart. He tried to open his eyes wide enough to see clearly what was happening outside the door.
"Creak, creak..."
After a long time, as the footsteps on the old laminate floor gradually faded away, the bedroom fell silent again.
Except for the dim light of the night light, which was tenaciously lit, the bedroom was empty.
…
The next morning.
Wang Family Courtyard.
Zhou Shiqi was lying lazily in the small nest that Wang Keer had set up for him. No matter how hard Wang Keer pulled him, he just refused to get up.
Wang Keer was so angry that her pretty face turned red, she said a harsh word and then went out to buy breakfast.
Zhou Shiqi curled his lips. He had been frightened at the Shuntian base for several days, and finally came back. He had to wait a few days to calm down.
Taking advantage of Wang Keer's absence, Zhou Shiqi jumped onto the big bed.
Lying on the bed where Wang Keer had slept, feeling the residual warmth on the bed and smelling the faint fragrance in the quilt, Zhou Shiqi couldn't help but grinning like a dog, it was still comfortable here!
Unfortunately, Zhou Shiqi was not allowed to enjoy the comfort for long, as Wang Xiao ran in hastily.
Looking at the husky lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, with only a dog's head exposed, Wang Xiao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and then said with a solemn expression: "Brother Da Zhuang, do you remember what I told you last night?
Something?"
"Forgot!" Zhou Shiqi glanced at him and said.
"Favorability from Wang Xiao, -66..."
Wang Xiao was furious, this dead dog is a thousand-year-old monster, and he has no right behavior at all!
Frowning slightly, Wang Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Da Zhuang, I'm telling you something serious. I'm not joking."
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? One of my little brothers said that he saw a white shadow in the famous haunted house at No. 81 Sunchon City. That little brother's name is Li Ming."
"After he came back, his high fever persisted. He went to the hospital to get fluids and got better. He has been resting at home for the past two days."
"But, his mother just called and said he was missing."
"Obviously his mother still put a quilt on him around ten o'clock last night."
Zhou Shiqi curled his lips and said, "Could it be that he sneaked out to play?"
Wang Xiao shook his head and said with certainty: "Brother Da Zhuang, you don't know something. Li Ming and I are classmates. He has a very cowardly character and was often bullied in school. I helped him solve a lot of troubles."
"Li Ming is a bit timid. He doesn't dare to go out alone at night."
"Moreover, his mother discovered in the morning that the doors to the house were open, which makes it even more impossible. Li Ming is very careful in his work. He would never forget to close the door when he goes out."
Zhou Shiqi sat upright, half-squinted his eyes, and said, "According to what you said, this matter is indeed very suspicious."
Wang Xiao nodded solemnly and said, "Should we go to that haunted house now? I always feel that this place is a bit weird."
Zhou Shiqi pondered for a moment: "It's too early now, let's go at noon."
"Why?" Wang Xiao was anxious.
Zhou Shiqi said with a smile: "Because something will happen sooner or later!"
