When morning came, everyone in Linjia Village had already gotten up, but they were staring at the rain falling outside in a daze.
Life in the countryside is like this. In normal times, it is hard work every day and you need to do farm work. You go to work in the fields every day. After the work is done, you go home, have a hot meal, and sleep with your wife and children in your arms. It has become a habit.
They are used to working under the bright sun and sweating all over their bodies. Of course, they also like rainy days. When it rains, it is like a holiday for them. On this day, they can relax and do not have to work in the fields.
An old man was sitting on the threshold, looking at the ground a few meters away, smoking a dry cigarette in a daze. He looked up at the clouds in the sky, but his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Another family was gathering in front of the dining table at this time. The whole family was sitting together, drinking porridge and eating mixed vegetable dumplings. They were living in harmony. A simple life creates simple people. Although this kind of life is not the same as that of a rich man,
Dagui, the delicacies of mountains and seas are thousands of miles apart, but they still have their own unique flavor.
But in this seemingly peaceful village, there is an undercurrent slowly surging.
Xu Guodong woke up rubbing his head and saw the scene inside the house. When his consciousness was chaotic, he didn't want to understand why his home was so messy. But when he saw the window in an instant, he was completely awake in an instant.
He remembered that just yesterday, countless figures were lying outside their door, on the roof, and beside the bed, knocking on the door panels, windows, and walls.
Later, the knock on the door disappeared, and the whole house was filled with the shrill and resentful cries of ghosts. It was still dark outside the window, which made Xu Guodong subconsciously think that it was still night and it was not yet dawn.
He suddenly got up from the kang, checked the doors and windows, and saw his wife holding the child lying next to him. He rushed over and checked the situation of the two of them, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Juan and her children were fine, and the doors and windows were closed tightly.
"Great, luckily nothing happened."
Xu Guodong sat down on the ground. At this time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The doors and windows were intact, indicating that no ghost had broken in, and Lin Juan and the child were obviously not affected by the ghost's cry.
There was no movement outside the window, and Xu Guodong had already concluded that the ghosts had left here.
Of course, even though he thought so and had already determined this result in his heart, Xu Guodong had no intention of opening the door. What if there were ghosts hiding outside and were about to rush in when he opened the door?
But they did survive.
There was pain everywhere in his body. The wounds on his face and the ruined clothes on his body already made Xu Guodong feel the pain. But when he sat on the ground, not only did he not show his teeth, but he was smiling.
"
I survived and my whole family is fine."
The biggest expectation has now been achieved. What happened last night has passed. At this time, Xu Guodong also began to realize that it may have already arrived the next morning.
There was really not much strength in his body, and it was extremely difficult to get up from the ground. Xu Guodong struggled a few times, but as soon as the energy dissipated, his heart completely calmed down, and he no longer felt any pain.
strength.
His stomach growled, and Xu Guodong wanted to find something to eat. He glanced at Lin Juan, opened his mouth, and wanted to wake her up and ask her to help get something to eat.
But after thinking about it, he gave up the plan. He saw that Lin Juan was also very embarrassed. She was a good girl, but she was lying there with disheveled hair. Apparently, what happened last night also frightened Lin Juan.
light.
Xu Guodong sat there, his body covered with dust, but he didn't care whether it was dirty or not. When he lowered his head, he saw a triangular thing on the ground.
The thing seemed to have fallen from his body. Xu Guodong reached out and picked it up. At first glance, it was the peace charm that Lin Laosan had given them before, one for each of them. But Xu Guodong remembered that he had returned to the house from the door.
By the time he arrived, the talisman had already fallen from his body.
He glanced at the door, then at the traces left on the ground, and thought of the dust on Lin Juan's body.
Xu Guodong finally realized that in the painful situation yesterday, his consciousness was on the verge of collapse, and various fantasies kept appearing in front of him. He remembered that he seemed to see Lin Juan appearing in front of him yesterday, and stuffed something into him in a trance.
got into his clothes, and then his consciousness completely fell into darkness.
When he just woke up, he just thought it was a hallucination, and his head hurt so much that he didn't have time to think so much.
But after seeing the current scene, Xu Guodong has already deduced the general outline of the matter. The blessing of peace given by Lin Laosan is not useless, but has a very great effect. It is very likely that Lin Laosan understands the methods of these ghosts, so he made them
layout.
Paste a few house security charms on the doors and windows, and give each person a peace charm.
The peace talisman he was holding in his hand at this time was not the original one, but the one that Lin Laosan had given to Lin Juan before. His peace talisman fell at the door, so when the ghost cry sounded later, he did not
ways to resist.
Under that situation, Lin Juan didn't hesitate and gave him her peace charm directly. It was only after she endured some painful torture that she finally discovered the piece of paper that Xu Guodong had dropped at the door.
Peace Talisman, this can be considered as saving one's life.
"If she hadn't noticed the peace charm I dropped..."
Xu Guodong looked at the peace talisman in his hand and murmured to himself. He had already imagined Lin Juan at that time.
He fell to the ground struggling in pain, with bursts of pain in his heart.
She did not continue talking, but she could imagine that if Lin Juan had not found another peace charm at that time, I am afraid she would not have been able to survive yesterday, let alone sleep peacefully next to her child like she is now.
.
She stretched her head and took a look, and saw that Lin Juan was holding something tightly in her little hand. Her good hand was now in a state of dilapidation.
The nails were broken, and the back of the hand was full of scars. The surface of the wound was also covered with a piece of dust. The wound was scabbed at this time, but from this hand, one can imagine how much pain Lin Juan had endured at that time.
pain.
Moved and guilt mixed together, Xu Guodong now hates himself very much. Why didn't he ask what the yellow charms did at that time?
Why did he accidentally drop the yellow talisman on the ground even though he knew it was useful? If it hadn't been for Lin Juan, he might have died last night, but now it was not him who almost died, but Lin Juan!
He couldn't imagine what his world would be like if Lin Juan really went.
It would be another world without hope, without light, only darkness.
Struggling to get up, Xu Guodong could no longer care about the pain on his body. Compared with the pain that Lin Juan had endured, it was nothing. Lin Juan was using her life to protect him. How could he let such a woman
Do you have to take care of this family even if you are injured?
At the same time, Xu Guodong is also very happy that he married such a good wife as Lin Juan. This is a blessing he has cultivated over several lifetimes. Although he cherished it in the past, judging from the current situation, he has not cherished it enough!
Holding on to the edge of the kang, she stood up unsteadily, picked up a piece of clothing from the side and covered Lin Juan and the child, then staggered and prepared to cook.
In the future, he will take on the responsibility of this family and take better care of this family. No matter what it is, whether it is a human or a ghost, he will stand firmly in front of the two women, one big and one small, to provide for the family.
They keep out the wind and rain!
He walked to the kitchen and after a lot of effort, he lit the fire and poured some water and rice into the big pot. He really couldn't cook and could only make porridge.
The fire was burning, and the temperature in the room began to rise slowly. The flames gave Xu Guodong a sense of security.
But he was thinking in his heart whether those weird things would come to his house again tonight.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound outside.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sound came, and Xu Guodong was startled, thinking that those ghosts were coming again, but in an instant he realized that the sound was very far away, and it should be a sound coming from outside the yard.
