In the heavy rain, the cries of the Li family's daughter-in-law were particularly harsh, reaching the ears of Xu Guodong and Lin Juan, making them both tremble.
They were the ones who had experienced a ghost attack last night. At first, the ghost just knocked on the door, but later the ghost cry almost enveloped their small house. The sound was harsh and shrill, far more disturbing than the cry of the Li family's daughter-in-law.
People's hearts tremble.
This cry made the two of them unconsciously think of what happened last night. They looked at each other and subconsciously grasped the peace charm in their arms.
If it weren't for the peace charm, no one can be sure what would have happened to them last night.
"Guodong..."
Lin Juan took a step back and subconsciously moved away from the door, fearing that the door would be knocked in the next second.
"It's okay, it's probably not a ghost."
Xu Guodong calmed down quickly. The voice was real. Compared with the shrill voice last night, although it was not so desperate, not so sad, and not so harsh, it still had some popularity.
"Listening to this, something seems to have happened to the Li family."
Xu Guodong's voice was not loud. After all, Lin Juan had already said that he was sick. He couldn't speak clearly and loudly here. This would be a slap in Lin Juan's face.
"Well, it seems that something happened to the boy from the Li family. He said he wanted to see you one last time. It seems that the situation is not very good."
Lin Juan frowned. She didn't expect that the wife of the Li family would answer like this. Even though there was heavy rain, but only a small yard away, Lin Juan could still hear the people outside, still crying.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The knocking on the door still continued. It was obvious that the Li family's wife was very stubborn at this time. She still refused to give up even after Lin Juan politely refused.
"Guodong, what should we do? Depending on the situation, she will insist on letting you go. But in this situation, Third Uncle has said that we'd better not go out."
Lin Juan was a little entangled. One was a sister with a very good relationship, and the other was her husband. The husband, who was also a sister, wanted to see her husband for the last time. What should she explain? In this case, she couldn't see the truth.
Some of them are unjustifiable.
But the current situation is here. Going out means danger. After walking out of this door, whether you can come back intact is a question.
Xu Guodong loves her, and of course she loves Xu Guodong too. She doesn't want her husband to go out and take risks under such circumstances. Even if the best sisters come to ask for her, love is actually selfish.
"From the Li family?"
Xu Guodong was a little hesitant. Logically speaking, his relationship with the boy from the Li family was not very good. The two of them were just ordinary friends. They did farm work and chatted together, let alone talking about life and death, even the lowest level.
brother
There is no brotherly love.
He didn't know why the Li family's wife came to him at this time, and what could she have to explain to him?
"How about...I go take a look?"
Xu Guodong hesitated for a moment. Due to both emotions and reasons, the boy from the Li family was a good friend of his in the village. Now something happened to this friend and he was about to die. This incident was inherently weird.
Xu Guodong suspected that what happened to the boy from the Li family was probably because another group of people hidden in the village had started to take action. They had released so many ghosts and now they were starting to harm people again.
He wanted to take a look and see how those people attacked the people in the village, so that he could have some precautions.
"Could it be that what he wants to explain is related to what happened in the village this time?"
"No, you should tell the village chief about such a thing. I am a teacher. Why would he come to me?"
"Or is it that he just wants to use my mouth to spread the matter to other people's ears? Does he want to tell the third uncle something?"
Although Xu Guodong couldn't figure out why the Li family's wife didn't just go to Lin Laosan directly, instead she just came to him, an ordinary person, but considering that the situation in the village was still in chaos, those guys hiding in the darkness had not yet surfaced.
When he came out of the water, the uneasiness in Xu Guodong's heart was slowly suppressed.
He had read a lot of books, and although they didn't involve any art of war or magic, he also understood from many stories that being beaten passively was ultimately just a bad idea.
The best defense is to attack. If they only defend like this, Lin Laosan alone or a few people cannot protect everyone in Linjia Village. Those guys hiding in the dark can attack them at any time.
Anyone in the village can do it.
At present, something has happened to the boy from the Li family, and Xu Guodong has not left home since he left Lin Laosan's house. I don't know what the current situation is in the village.
If the Li boy really knew something, it would be an opportunity to catch those mice.
Xu Guodong was a little moved, but looking at Lin Juan, he still felt hesitant.
He actually didn't want to leave the village. He wanted to help Lin Laosan protect the Lin family village. But he was just an ordinary person and couldn't deal with ghosts, and he couldn't do magic at all.
But now, the arrival of the Li family's wife has pointed him in a new direction. He doesn't have to take action or deal with the ghosts, but as long as he can catch another group of people hiding in this village, even if he knows about them
Hiding some clues would be a great help to Lin Laosan.
If these evils are known, it won't matter whether they leave here or not.
He didn't have to think too hard and took Lin Juan and the child to Maple City.
After that, how to make a living and how to support the family.
"Guodong, I think..."
Lin Juan gritted her teeth and watched Xu Guodong's eyes change. She also understood what Xu Guodong was thinking at this time. Not only Xu Guodong but also she didn't want to leave the village.
If she hadn't experienced what happened yesterday, I'm afraid she would never have thought of leaving here.
"Um..."
Xu Guodong pondered for a moment, and when he looked up at Lin Juan again, his eyes had become firm.
"I'll go over and see what's going on. Maybe I can help Third Uncle with something."
"Phew, okay..."
Even though Lin Juan was entangled in her heart, she still didn't stop anything. A man must stand upright and have courage. As the head of the family, although she hopes that Xu Guodong can stay by her side safely, she also knows that some things cannot be done.
Not entirely satisfactory.
Her parents, her relatives, and her husband were all in the Lin family village. Even if no one told her, she could feel that something had happened in the village where she grew up.
She doesn't blame Xu Guodong and his third uncle for hiding it from her. Men's affairs should be handled by men, and she will protect the family for Xu Guodong and wait for his safe return.
Men may be able to retreat before danger, but not all retreats can be stretched or flexed. Sometimes, if you retreat once, there will be a second time. Although Xu Guodong is just a teacher, in Lin Juan's eyes, he is still a
An upright man.
Now that he has chosen to protect this village, what can she say?
"Be careful and come back safely. I'll wait for you at home."
Then she wrapped the two peace charms in oil paper and stuffed them into Xu Guodong's clothes. Lin Juan gently stroked Xu Guodong's cheek and said very seriously.
Those beautiful eyes were full of heartache and reluctance, and crystal tears flowed in her eyes, but did not fall. She didn't want Xu Guodong to see her weakness, she wanted to be strong and be his backing.
"remember."
Putting Lin Juan's hand on her heart, Xu Guodong made a serious promise.
He stood up, picked up his raincoat, and made sure that the two peace charms in his arms would not get wet from the rain. Then Xu Guodong walked towards the door.
But when he put his hand on the door handle, he stopped and turned to look at Lin Juan. The two of them spoke almost at the same time.
"Don't go out!"
"must be careful!"
When we met each other and smiled, this advice turned into warmth and flowed into our hearts. What is warm is friendship. Sometimes love means protection and waiting.
"boom"
The door was closed, and Xu Guodong had already walked into the heavy rain. The dark weather made people feel heavy, but there was a firm figure in the rain, walking forward...
