The originally quiet and peaceful atmosphere was broken at this moment. The knock on the door was so sudden that the two people in the room were caught off guard. Neither Xu Guodong nor Lin Juan expected that this person would still be here in the middle of the night.
Someone came to their house.
And at this moment there was a knock on the door!
The voice echoed in his ears, and his heart that had just been put down was lifted up. Xu Guodong was frightened by the knocks on the door. He held the yellow talisman folded into a triangle shape tightly in his hand, and his heart was beating wildly!
"It's so late, who's here?"
Lin Juan's voice was still gentle, without the slightest fear, but with a little bit of curiosity.
Xu Guodong's tense heart once again let go, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Xu Guodong, Xu Guodong, you are a man, why are you not as courageous as Lin Juan?"
"Juan, you stay here for now, I'll go take a look."
Putting the yellow talisman on his body, Xu Guodong put on his clothes and went down to open the door.
But just as he sat up, he was grabbed by Lin Juan.
"Guodong, let's go together. It's too dark for you to go alone."
Lin Juan is always so gentle and considerate, even knowing that Xu Guodong will be afraid. She is a truly good wife to Xu Guodong.
"It's okay, wife, I'm a bit timid, but I will definitely protect you."
He responded in a nonchalant manner, but it revealed Xu Guodong's innermost thoughts. He would use everything he had to protect this family and these two extremely important women in his life.
"Yeah, I know. Light the lamp first and I'll go with you."
Lin Juan smiled and nodded, and a small flame lit up in the darkness, illuminating her pretty face. She was extremely beautiful at this moment.
"Stab"
The match struck an arc of light, cutting through the dark space in the room. Black smoke rose from the kerosene lamp, and light finally appeared in the room.
Covering the glass cover, the light became brighter and brighter. Lin Juan had already sat up, standing aside with a piece of clothing on her back, holding a kerosene lamp in her hand. At this time, she was the center of Xu Guodong's world and the only one in his world.
Light.
He also put on his shoes, got off the ground, gently pulled Lin Juan over and the two looked at each other and walked towards the door.
The child on the fire bed was still sleeping soundly. The corners of his mouth curled up in a slight arc, and his hands were gently raised in the shape of claws, as if he had done something interesting in his dream.
The knocking on the door continued, not loud, but especially clear in the heavy rain.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."
Every once in a while there would be a series of knocks on the door, which was particularly harsh in this dark night.
"Is it the third uncle? What's going on so late?"
As soon as Xu Guodong took his steps, he asked, what about the knock on the door?
He seemed very anxious, but the person who knocked on the door never said a word.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The knocking on the door still continued, as if I heard the voices of people in the room. The knocking on the door was a little louder, but the person who knocked on the door still didn't speak.
"Who is it? If you don't speak, I won't care about you anymore!"
Xu Guodong was a little angry. There were a lot of visits from house to house in the village. He had never heard of anyone who just knocked on the door and didn't speak. Moreover, he came here in the middle of the night. This must be something urgent. But if it was an emergency, why didn't you say anything?
Woolen cloth?
"Mr. Xiao Xu, please open the door quickly. Something happened to our family. The child ran out of nowhere in the middle of the night. When we chased him out, he was gone. Please help us to find the child!"
Just when Xu Guodong and Lin Juan started to wonder, they finally remembered the sound of people outside.
The voice sounded familiar. She seemed to be the eldest sister of a nearby family. The eldest sister had a child in her family. She was usually a kind-hearted person and very helpful. If she needed help with anything, she would never refuse.
"It seems to be Mrs. Zhang."
Lin Juan heard the voice and recalled it. It was indeed Mrs. Zhang's voice. Zhang's son was Xu Guodong's student, and the relationship between the two families was pretty good.
"Is this child lost? No, you have to look for him quickly. It's going to be bad if something happens to him in this heavy rain!"
Xu Guodong was a little anxious when he heard about the children. Teachers are like this. They love every one of their students very much. Of course, I am talking about responsible teachers here.
Xu Guodong took the kerosene lamp from Lin Juan's hand, picked up an umbrella, and was about to open the door and go to help.
But just as she took a step forward, she was grabbed by Lin Juan.
"Guodong, something is wrong!"
Lin Juan's hand firmly grasped Xu Guodong's arm, and the delicate arm burst out with great strength at this time, making Xu Guodong unable to break away for a while. Of course, he did not think about breaking away.
"What's the matter? Mother, please stay at home for now. I'll go help look for the child. I'll be back in a while."
Hearing that the child was lost, Xu Guodong was a little anxious for a moment. After saying this, he wanted to take his hand out of Lin Juan's arms. He is a kind person, and many people in this village are kind to him.
When he introduced Lin Juan to him, he accepted the favor of many people in the village.
"Guodong!" Lin Juan shouted, and Xu Guodong stopped: "Do you remember what the third uncle told us when he left?"
"What did you tell me?"
If it weren't for Lin Juan's reminder, Xu Guodong really didn't remember. When he heard that the child was lost, all he wanted to do was to help find the child quickly. It rained so hard and a child was lost in the village. Then
The child must be in bad luck.
"Mr. Xiao Xu, Juanzi
, please help me, help me come out and look for it, I beg you!"
There was another knock on the door, followed by Sister-in-law Zhang's cry. The voice sounded so sad and tragic that one couldn't help but sympathize.
"Hey, let's not talk about what Third Uncle said. Aunt Zhang is like this. She must not be able to find the child. It is raining so hard outside. You stay at home and I will help you find the child quickly.
"
As he spoke, Xu Guodong was about to bypass Lin Juan and walk out of the house, but at this time, Lin Juan was particularly strong and completely different from usual.
She once again blocked the door and blocked Xu Guodong's way, and her face became a little ugly.
"Third uncle said, no matter who knocks on the door tonight, they must not open the door!"
A delicate woman, at this time, she looked like a general in front of thousands of troops. She had a stern attitude. At this time, Lin Juan was extremely powerful. She just wanted to say that the door could not be opened. Xu Guodong also did not open the door today.
Can not Go Out.
"Honey, what's wrong with you today? You're not usually like this. That's Mrs. Zhang, who helped us a lot. Her child is missing. How could I not help find it?"
Xu Guodong did not argue with Lin Juan, nor did he push Lin Juan. He just wanted Lin Juan to understand his approach. It was too late for him to love this woman, so how could he go back and hurt her?
"Guodong, don't say anything for now. You will know later. Trust me."
Lin Juan said solemnly, seeing her like this, Xu Guodong said nothing more. She usually made the decision at home, and the two of them would discuss important matters together. Now that Lin Juan is so strong, there is no harm in waiting. After all, Lin Juan
Not an unreasonable person.
"Mr. Xiao Xu, Juanzi, my sister-in-law is begging you, come out and help me look for it~"
Sister-in-law Zhang outside the door was crying, with a hint of pleading in her voice, but in response, a cold light flashed in Lin Juan's eyes.
"Sister-in-law, how did you enter our yard? I remember I had locked the door."
As soon as Lin Juan said this, the knocking on the door and the crying sound stopped suddenly, as if the radio had stopped suddenly, which was very abrupt.
At this time, Xu Guodong also realized that something was wrong. They would close the door to the yard when they went to bed at night, but how could this sister-in-law directly cross the yard and appear in front of his house?
The most important thing is that the whole process is silent, which is terrifying when you think about it!
"Sister-in-law, I don't know if you have heard of the saying, there are three people and four ghosts. It means that when knocking on the door, people usually only knock three times, but..."
Lin Juan did not continue, but Xu Guodong already understood everything. After recalling the knock on the door just now, cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously.
If he remembered correctly, the continuous knocking on the door was four times, followed by a pause!
