Xu Guodong thought that he had sorted out everything. After basing all his speculations on someone's deliberate actions, he found that it could still be established, but there must be some secrets that he didn't know about.
This caused Xu Guodong to completely transfer his fear of ghosts to Lin Laosan and the Lin family.
In this state of mind, when I looked at the small courtyard where the old Taoist lived, I felt that it was not so scary for a while. The previous fear and uneasiness had now disappeared without a trace, because of a bigger fear,
It's even possible that the person who is the source of all fear is standing next to him.
When there is no choice, it may make people fearful, but if you clarify your thoughts carefully, you will find that all fear is actually unnecessary, because even fear, fear, panic, and being overwhelmed will be of no use in the end.
He has neither the power nor the opportunity to choose. There is only one path before him.
The source of fear is usually that life is threatened. The more afraid you are, the stronger this feeling becomes. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is just a life.
However, on the battlefield, most of those who are afraid of death, who are anxious and cautious to ensure that they are alive, are already dead in the end, while those who are not afraid of death, although they may be injured or disabled in the end,
But they are the easiest to survive.
Fighting to the death is not an easy task no matter who you put it on. Even if you know that fighting to the death can help you survive to a greater extent, there is still a big difference between theory and time.
Fortunately, Xu Guodong still has ties in his heart at this time. Lin Juan and the child are at Lin Laosan's house, and they are even under control at this time. He wants to live and hold on to the lives of his family. Now he only has to fight for his life.
road.
Perhaps Xu Guodong would be cautious for the sake of his own life, but if it was to protect his family, what did his life mean?
Thinking of this, Xu Guodong also suppressed the fear in his heart: "Let's explore the situation first. There are too many things I don't know at the moment, and I don't know what the third uncle and the others are planning. They are all relatives after all.
, if I can make him believe that I can keep secrets, maybe he will let us go."
Because of Lin Juan, Xu Guodong and the Lin family were considered relatives, and at Lenwa's home just now, Lin Laosan didn't do anything to him, which made him feel slightly relieved.
After all, they are all relatives. Although he doesn't know much about Lin Laosan, he also knows that Lin Laosan is a kind and kind man. As long as such a person does not violate his bottom line, he should not do anything excessive.
things.
Maybe what Lin Laosan and the others planned was really to protect Linjia Village. Even if it wasn't, as long as they didn't hurt their own family, they would be pulled down by Lin Laosan.
Water is nothing.
Compared to life, sometimes doing bad things is really nothing, and Xu Guodong doesn't think that he, a teacher, can do anything outrageous. From the beginning to now, everything is Xu Guodong's own speculation. In the end
What happened depends on Lin Laosan's next actions.
Even if the worst case scenario is really like what Xu Guodong speculated before, it is just being dragged by Lin Laosan to do bad things together. If there is really no choice, then just do it.
The two of them walked to the door of the small courtyard. Looking in from here, they could directly see that the courtyard was full of scattered things. There were various tools and baskets scattered in the small courtyard, some of which were originally supposed to be planted.
The vegetables in the garden were also in pieces.
Desolation, this is how Xu Guodong felt when he saw this small courtyard again.
This courtyard seemed to be different from when he arrived before, but Xu Guodong couldn't figure out what the difference was for a while.
"Third uncle..."
After gritting his teeth, Xu Guodong still called Lin Laosan and tried his best to hide all his worries and fears in his heart.
At this time, Lin Laosan was standing at the door of the yard, standing so quietly with no intention of going in. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The small yard was full of mud, and the bamboo baskets scattered on the ground fell one by one.
, shrouded in black clouds, like small graves.
Neither Xu Guodong nor Lin Laosan had any lighting tools in their hands. At this time, although there were electric lights, not every household had them. Even if they were flashlights, they were only old-fashioned flashlights. There were only two in the whole village.
They were all placed at the team headquarters of the brigade.
The average villager rests earlier and won't go out when it gets dark. If there is no other way, get a kerosene lamp, which is a very good lighting tool. As for things like flashlights, don't even think about it.
.
When he came out, Lin Laosan didn't take the kerosene lamp and left the lamp with the two women at home. Xu Guodong didn't have any objections to this. After all, he had lived in this village for three years, and Lin Laosan had been with the Lin family since he was a child.
As a person who grew up in the village, he didn't have anything to worry about at the beginning.
It wasn't until the incident with Lenwa's family that I started to feel afraid of Lin Laosan. I wanted to find some lighting tools, but there was no chance.
Lin Laosan didn't respond. He stood there and watched quietly for a while. It was too dark for Xu Guodong to see his expression clearly, but the atmosphere between the two was very awkward.
"Walk"
After saying a word in a low voice, Lin Laosan walked directly into the small courtyard without consulting Xu Guodong. Although the sky was dim and dark, he could still see some things clearly.
Forest
The third child did not go around the debris on the ground and walked straight towards the adobe house. She kicked away any bamboo baskets or pieces of wood she encountered along the way. This made Xu Guodong start to worry: "Uncle Third is
Aren’t you in a bad mood?”
He glanced at the bamboo basket that was kicked out by Lin Laosan and said, "Is he in a bad mood because of what happened at Lenwa's house, or because he found something in this yard?"
Xu Guodong guessed, but after looking around, he didn't see anything wrong. Seeing that Lin Laosan had already reached the door of the house, Xu Guodong hurriedly chased after him, and came behind Lin Laosan in a few steps.
"Xiao Xu, were you opening this door before? Or was it closed?"
The sudden question startled Xu Guodong, who had been watching Lin Laosan's movements. He did not expect that the other party would ask him a question at this time.
"Ah? I, I think...I didn't close the door."
Xu Guodong thought for a moment and almost turned around and ran away because he saw Lin Laosan raise his hand and subconsciously blocked it in front of him with both hands, thinking that Lin Laosan was going to attack him.
As a result, Lin Laosan just stretched out his arm and pointed at the door of the house. Only then did he calm down. His heart fell into his stomach again. When he looked in the direction of Lin Laosan's arm, he was immediately stunned on the spot.
The wooden door that Xu Guodong had opened before had been closed at this time. It looked as if no one had ever opened it. Moreover, the wooden door seemed different from the door he had seen before, but Xu Guodong couldn't figure out what the difference was.
But he had a vague feeling in his heart, as if there was something terrifying hidden behind the wooden door. As long as the door was opened, a monster would rush towards them from inside!
This feeling came for no reason. Looking at Lin Laosan, Xu Guodong subconsciously took two steps back.
"You didn't close the door, then who closed the door?"
Lin Laosan didn't even look back at Xu Guodong. When he heard the answer from behind, he put down his arm, wrinkled it up, and whispered in confusion.
"Um?"
Only then did Xu Guodong realize what Lin Laosan's words meant. Looking at the door again, Xu Guodong couldn't help but shudder. Yes, before, he thought he had encountered some horrific supernatural event and had no time to close the door.
, so he ran away directly.
But now, this door has been closed!
From Lin Laosan's tone, Xu Guodong already knew that this matter must have nothing to do with him. Even if he wanted to scare him, there was no need to use such low-level methods. After all, anyone had a chance before he went to Lin Laosan's house.
Close the door.
But if Lin Laosan didn't do this, does it mean that besides him and Lin Laosan, there is another person in this yard?
