Hearing Lin Laosan mention the old Taoist, Xu Guodong began to ask again, but this time Lin Laosan said nothing more. Instead, he gave Xu Guodong a few yellow talismans, told him to put them away, and then called Lin Juan.
Come out and urge them to leave.
"Lao San, it's raining heavily outside. How are you going to let Juanzi and the others take the child?"
Lin Laosan's daughter-in-law stopped her and wanted to let Lin Juan and Xu Guodong stay at home for one night, but Lin Laosan glared at her and she didn't dare to say anything.
"I'll take them home."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Laosan decided to send Xu Guodong and Lin Juan back in person.
Having learned some information from Lin Laosan before, Xu Guodong knew that his third uncle's decision could not be changed by ordinary people. Lin Juan who was on the side obviously understood Lin Laosan better. She held the child without saying a word and quietly
Wearing a raincoat.
Lin Laosan patted Xu Guodong's shoulder, looked at him deeply, and then walked out of the house with Lin Juan holding an umbrella. Seeing this, Xu Guodong understood that they must go home tonight.
He understood that since Lin Laosan let them go home, it meant that their home was much safer than Lin Laosan's place.
From the tablet of Lin Laosan enshrined in that small room, we can know that the other party is probably targeting Lin Laosan. At this time, they are staying at Lin Laosan's home and may be targeted at any time.
It is never uncommon for a city gate to catch fire, affecting the fish in the pond.
Without refusing, he said goodbye to Lin Laosan's wife, and Xu Guodong followed him out. Lin Laosan stood next to Lin Juan with an umbrella. When he saw Xu Guodong coming out, he handed the umbrella in his hand to Xu Guodong, and he
He turned around and said something to his wife.
"Before I come back, no matter who knocks on the door, don't answer it, and don't come out. Also, watch your children."
Lin Laosan asked, and then locked the door from the outside. A big lock was hung on the wooden door, which looked very strange.
Lin Juan didn't ask any more questions, but Xu Guodong had some guesses about this move. It must be related to what happened before, and Lin Juan was also around, so there was no need to get into trouble at this time.
The three of them walked all the way back to Xu Guodong's home. Nothing happened. They were extremely calm. There seemed to be countless horrors hidden in the darkness. They just huddled there motionless, like very patient hunters, waiting for their prey.
Relax your vigilance.
Xu Guodong and Lin Juan were walking in front, and Lin Laosan was walking behind. Xu Guodong felt something was wrong in the middle, but that wrongness always disappeared in the next second. He didn't know that it was something hidden in the darkness.
While testing, those things were still driven away by Lin Laosan, and he did not dare to look back.
Until you walk into the house, this
Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief. Such a short journey did not take much time, but it made Xu Guodong feel as if he had walked for several months.
Lin Laosan did not enter the door, but sent the two of them home, with the same instructions: "No matter who knocks on the door at night, go ahead and don't open the door." Then he left.
Xu Guodong just saw a ghost today, and he suspected that something might come to the door in the middle of the night, so he nodded in agreement without asking any more questions. At the same time, with the help of Lin Laosan, he put stickers on the backs of the doors and windows of the house.
Yellow symbols, two adults and children also had a peace blessing placed on them, and this was the end.
After Lin Laosan left, Lin Juan did not ask Xu Guodong what happened, and Xu Guodong had no intention of telling her, not wanting Lin Juan to feel the same fear as him.
Everyone's first time is unforgettable, especially the first time they see a ghost.
After placing the child and putting on suitable clothes, Lin Laosan left. Although the doors and windows had been pasted with talismans, Xu Guodong didn't know that these things were really useful in dealing with ghosts, so he felt uneasy.
He blocked the door with a chair, hung a rope on the window, took out the kitchen knife and put it aside. Only then did Xu Guodong gain some confidence.
People who have never seen a ghost can never imagine the shock and fear of encountering a ghost for the first time.
Still uneasy in her heart, the kerosene lamp in the room had been extinguished. Lin Juan lay on the side with her child in her arms, leaving Xu Guodong alone with his eyes struggling and lying there looking at the ceiling.
The sound of rain outside the window was pattering, and the sound of dripping water seemed like the blood flowing in the dark night, dividing the inside and outside of the house into two worlds. With his eyes open, the surroundings were pitch black, and Xu Guodong felt an unprecedented feeling.
Loneliness.
In the darkness, nothing could be seen clearly. I could only tell by the sound of breathing that the child and Lin Juan were lying next to them.
Today's children are very well-behaved and don't make any noise at night. If it were normal, Xu Guodong and Lin Juan might feel very comfortable, but now...
Xu Guodong really hopes that the child can cry a few times at this time, so that the room can be echoed with the child's cries, which will make him feel that the place is full of people and not lonely.
"Can't sleep?"
Lin Juan's soft voice sounded in the darkness, and she kept touching the back of Xu Guodong's hand with her little hand. That gentleness was extraordinarily warm in the darkness.
"It's okay, I have to think about something. By the way, wife, let's wait for the rain to stop and then leave here, okay?"
Xu Guodong asked probingly. He was not sure whether making such a request would make Lin Juan unhappy. He really loved her and didn't want her to be unhappy at all, but he also didn't want her to be unhappy at all.
Danger.
"Did Uncle San say that?"
Lin Juan is a smart woman. When she thought of Xu Guodong once going out alone with Lin Laosan, she immediately thought of the reason for Xu Guodong's change.
"Um"
There was no need to hide this matter. Since he had already guessed it, hiding it would have no effect, so he answered honestly.
"Okay, let's leave as soon as the rain stops. I'll pack up my things when we get back."
Lin Juan was very obedient and did not raise any dissatisfaction at this time. Instead, she supported Xu Guodong's decision very much, which made Xu Guodong somewhat doubtful that Lin Juan knew something.
But he was more willing to believe that Lin Juan agreed because of him and because he told the matter.
Warmth rippled in the darkness. The two of them said nothing, but that kind of emotion made the dark and closed space no longer cold. The warmth passed over the arms and slid through the hearts, driving away fear and repairing the wounds.
Xu Guodong sighed in his heart, for a person like him, who has experienced so many things, from being a kid from a rich family to being in such a state of poverty, God finally opened his eyes and gave him such a good wife, a complete family, and those rich and noble people.
For him, such a warm home is what he wants most.
He hugged his wife and children sideways, and the warmth made him completely let go of all the worries in his heart. He was about to leave the village, and he would have to work harder in the future.
We must give Lin Juan the best life and allow this child to grow up better. Even if he had no ability before, he will become their biggest supporter in the future.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and it was dark inside and outside the house. The black clouds were still as thick as mountains, and it was so dull that it was difficult to breathe. However, the three members of Xu Guodong's family gradually fell asleep, and their breathing became more and more steady.
The rain outside is still falling, pattering, not very heavy, nor drizzling. The raindrops knock on the tiles on the roof, making a tinkling sound. The doors and windows welcome the dense raindrops, and the sound is like being blown by
The little bugs shut in the jar are constantly banging and struggling.
Xu Guodong's consciousness gradually blurred, and he felt vaguely sleepy, but his ears could not help but listen to the sounds outside the window, as if there was something there that attracted him.
Gradually, he heard that there seemed to be something wrong in the sound of the rain. It was a little strange, as if there was something extra in the rain. The feeling was very strange. He couldn't explain the reason. After careful identification, it seemed that it was just an illusion.
.
"Snapped"
There was a soft crunching sound, as if something fell into the puddle. This made Xu Guodong suddenly wake up. He raised his head and looked towards the window. He had a feeling that something had quietly walked into them.
