Someone next to me also echoed: "Yes, I was also quarreled by our neighbor's dog. My first reaction was to get up and go to the backyard to look at the chickens and rabbits. Later I saw that you were all heading in this direction.
Let’s go, I’ll follow you and take a look.”
Listening to everyone's chatter, Uncle Gong Jian finally figured it out. These people were woken up by a scream in the middle of the night. Of course, some of them were also disturbed by the barking of the guard dog because of the scream.
He got up. But what he didn't understand now was why these people slowly gathered in front of his house after they got up.
Perhaps seeing Uncle Gong Jian's doubts, Chen San raised his hand to signal to the people around him to be quiet, and then said to Uncle Gong Jian: "We who live nearby were all startled by that shout.
After we got up, we really felt uneasy, and the sound was really too shrill, so we took torches and went out to check. After all, the sound we heard was not far from our home."
Uncle Gong Jian listened patiently to Chen San's narration, but in his heart he began to scold these guys: It seems that these people are really not tired from working during the day, and they are still meddling in such nosy matters. And they are actually just because of this
For a trivial matter, he would run into his own home, making himself think that something big had happened.
At this time, Uncle Gong Jian was really relieved. He felt that these people gathering in front of his house really had nothing to do with his family. Originally, in Uncle Gong Jian's mind, the only people who could cause trouble in his family now were
It should be him and his mother-in-law. But tonight, he and his mother-in-law have been sleeping at home honestly.
If these people hadn't come in and woke him up, he and his mother-in-law would still be sleeping soundly. So now he feels that these people are making trouble unreasonably by coming to their house. He wants to see what else these people can say now
Come.
Just when Uncle Gong Jian was nodding patiently on his face and already impatient in his heart, he heard Chen San say: "A few of us got up to check, and we didn't find anything unusual until we reached the door of Gong Jian's house."
Over there, Uncle Gong Jian and his wife, who were originally careless, immediately became nervous when they heard Chen San talking about Gong Jian's family. They raised their concerns and finally began to take this matter seriously. After all,
What they are most afraid of now is mentioning Gong Jian's family.
Chen San did not notice anything unusual about Uncle Gong Jian and his wife. He just continued to describe what happened, "A few of us were outside the gate of Gong Jian's house and found a ladder on the ground, so we lay down on the ground."
Having said this, Chen San did not continue, but instead looked up at Uncle Gong Jian. His gaze made Uncle Gong Jian, who was already nervous, feel very uncomfortable all over. At this time, he felt that his back
Beads of sweat kept falling down.
Just when he was about to raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his head, he heard Chen San continue to speak.
"A few of us spent a long time identifying each other, and finally someone recognized that the ladder belonged to your home. That's why we came and knocked on your door. Unexpectedly, your courtyard door was not locked in place. We knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no one in your home.
Answered the door. But we were shocked. After waiting for a long time, no one answered, so we pushed the door open and came in. "
After saying that, Chen San looked around, and the people next to him nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case. When everyone around him had finished expressing their opinions, Chen San waved his hand, and the crowd moved away, and the people behind him carried
A ladder led us into Uncle Gong Jian’s yard.
At this time, Uncle Gong Jian was in a state of confusion. He had never thought that such an unbelievable thing would happen. How could his ladder appear inexplicably outside the gate of Gong Jian's courtyard?
He was confused now and couldn't figure out what was going on. No matter how dizzy he was, he knew that he and his mother-in-law had indeed carried the ladder back to the yard this morning. He could not help but
, his eyes drifted towards the courtyard wall where the ladder should have been, but it was empty at the moment.
As for the ladder being carried in front of him, Uncle Gong Jian recognized it at a glance. It was indeed the ladder from his home. After all, such a heavy ladder was rare in nearby homes.
The reason why his ladder is so heavy is that it has been used for many years. This ladder was built by his parents at that time. Later, as time went by, his parents reinforced more and more wood on it, which caused the ladder itself to become deformed.
Getting heavier and heavier.
And because there are so few opportunities to use a ladder at home, this ladder has always been used as a decoration and thrown in the yard. This also leads to the fact that his family's ladder is completely different from the ladders often used by other families.
It looks like, so this indistinguishable thing is his ladder.
Seeing that everyone around him was waiting for his answer, Uncle Gong Jian could only bite the bullet and said: "This, this is indeed my ladder." But other than this, he didn't know what to say.
Uncle Gong Jian really couldn't deny this. After all, people living nearby knew the situation of his family. Besides, he couldn't deny such a certain thing.
After hearing Uncle Gong Jian's admission that the ladder did belong to his family, a few people conveniently put the ladder in his yard. Chen San also asked next to him, "Brother Gong, you see, this ladder belongs to your family."
, but do you know why it appeared outside Gong Jian’s yard in the middle of the night?”
His question made Uncle Gong Jian's heart beat faster. He really didn't know why the ladder appeared outside Gong Jian's yard tonight. He only knew why the ladder appeared there last night.
As for today's situation, can he say that the ladder became a spirit and he walked over it by himself?
But other than this incredible explanation, Uncle Gong Jian couldn't figure out how the ladder disappeared from his yard and appeared outside the gate of Gong Jian's house instead.
At this time, the expression on Uncle Gong Jian's face was not fake, he really looked confused. He looked around at the people around him, and finally murmured: "How could it be? I haven't used this ladder for a long time. I
I don’t know how it came to be inside or outside Gong Jian’s yard.”
It was late at night, and everyone around him was staring at Uncle Gong Jian, wanting to know his answer, so even his low murmurs could be heard clearly by the people around him.
After hearing that Uncle Gong Jian didn't know what was going on and why his ladder appeared outside, people around him suddenly started talking about it. (To be continued)
