"Don't go out after twelve o'clock?"

Mo Shouchen didn't understand why Gao Ziwen said that. He was just about to ask, when Jiang Wei, who had been sitting with his back to the sink, suddenly stood up. Gao Ziwen quickly lowered his head and pretended to be busy washing dishes, ignoring Mo Shouchen.

It's chen.

Although Mo Shouchen was full of questions, under Jiang Wei's unfriendly gaze, he could only smile awkwardly, then turned and returned to the room.

He came to Jiang Xinrong's bedroom, and the unpleasant smell still filled the air. In addition, Jiang Xinrong had already fallen asleep and lay motionless on the bed, which always gave people the illusion that he had died and started to decay.

Mo Shouchen walked out of Jiang Xinrong's bedroom, then found a mineral water bottle and placed it on the door handle of the entrance door of the hall. This way, after he fell asleep, if someone tried to come in from the outside, the bottle would fall to the ground and make a sound.

After doing all this, he went to the room opposite Jiang Xinrong, which was specially prepared for him. Because it was only separated by a hall and both doors were open, he could hear Jiang Xinrong's situation in time.

Gradually, it became completely dark. Because the entire Yushu Town had no power supply, Mo Shouchen could only rely on a kerosene lamp for lighting.

It is said to be a kerosene lamp, but it is actually an ink bottle filled with kerosene, with a lead inserted in it. After lighting, the flame is very small, so the light is very dim.

However, one advantage of this kind of kerosene lamp is that after it is lit, it will have a strong smell of kerosene, which can dilute the unpleasant smell coming from the house opposite.

Lying on the bed, Mo Shouchen couldn't sleep at all because he had too many questions in his mind.

He felt that Gao Ziwen seemed to be afraid of Jiang Wei, and this fear was not a daughter-in-law's fear of her father-in-law, but a kind of fear from the heart.

What did Jiang Wei do to Gao Ziwen to make her so cowardly?

In the afternoon, Gao Ziwen said that she actually wanted to leave, but she couldn't leave. When she was about to give details, she was interrupted by Jiang Wei who came out of the blue. Could it be that she really didn't stay to split the relocation money, but to split up the relocation money?

Was it coerced?

But Jiang Wei did not restrict her movement. If she wanted to run away, Jiang Wei, an old man who had difficulty walking, would not be able to catch up. How could she not be able to leave?

What made Mo Shouchen even more incomprehensible was that Gao Ziwen and Jiang Wei actually slept in the same brick house.

Although that brick house had the same two bedrooms as the one I lived in, and there was a hall between them, but my son was bedridden, and my daughter-in-law and father-in-law slept under the same roof, which inevitably made people uncomfortable.

Thinking wrongly.

And why did Gao Ziwen say not to go out after twelve o'clock? Could there be something scary appearing in the yard after twelve o'clock? Does this thing have something to do with Jiang Xinrong being possessed by a ghost?

The more he thought about it, the more problems Mo Shouchen felt. There were so many doubts about this family that he couldn't believe anyone, including Gao Ziwen. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Gao Ziwen was...

Seducing yourself intentionally or unintentionally.

"Crunch..."

Mo Shouchen suddenly heard a voice coming from Jiang Xinrong's room. He quickly got up and went to check. As soon as he reached the door, he was startled by the scene in the room.

Through the moonlight outside the window, he saw Jiang Xinrong sitting up from the bed. Her only eye was staring out the window, but when he looked out the window, there was nothing there.

Mo Shouchen recalled that when he first arrived in the morning, the frantic Jiang Xinrong looked behind him in fear, as if he could see things he couldn't see.

But the difference from the morning was that there was no trace of fear in Jiang Xinrong's eyes now, nor was it as dull as usual. From his eyes, Mo Shouchen saw a little bit of joy, as if he had seen something.

Something he was looking forward to very much.

In the middle of the night, I just sat up straight and looked out the window, which felt a bit scary.

Mo Shouchen walked over and held Jiang Xinrong's shoulders and pushed him back to the bed. Jiang Xinrong was very obedient and did not resist. After lying down, his eyes slowly closed and he fell asleep again.

Mo Shouchen looked out the window again from the angle where Jiang Xinrong had just sat up. Under the moonlight, the yard was quiet and peaceful. Only the plants were gently swayed by the breeze. There was really nothing unusual about it.

After covering Jiang Xinrong with the quilt, Mo Shouchen returned to his room. He was still thinking about what had just happened. After sitting on the bed, he realized that something was wrong. The kerosene lamp was clearly lit when he left.

Yes, but now the kerosene lamp has gone out.

The window was closed and there was no wind in the room, so it could not have been blown out by the wind. Moreover, there was still more than half of the kerosene in the ink bottle. So how did the kerosene lamp go out?

Because it was the first time to use a kerosene lamp, Mo Shouchen was not sure whether it would go out by itself under normal circumstances, but combined with the fact that Jiang Xinrong suddenly sat up and looked out the window just now, and Gao Ziwen said that after twelve o'clock,

Don't go out, he always feels that there might be something really in the yard.

He walked to the window and looked outside. There was still nothing in the yard. Maybe he was overthinking it.

Forget it, I can't stay up all night staring out the window, so I'd better sleep.

Mo Shouchen returned to bed. Before closing his eyes, he subconsciously glanced out the window, but this glance made his back shiver, because at some point, a woman appeared outside the window, and this woman was looking upright.

looking at himself.

Mo Shouchen was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, but when he looked carefully, the person standing outside the window turned out to be Gao Ziwen.

I don't know if it was because of the moonlight, but Gao Ziwen's face was as white as paper at this time. At first glance, it was a bit scary in the middle of the night.

Mo Shouchen glanced at the time. It was already past twelve o'clock. Gao Ziwen clearly said not to go out after twelve o'clock, but why did she come out and still stand in front of her window? Did she want to...

Just as some action movie plots flashed through Mo Shouchen's mind, Gao Ziwen outside the window turned and left.

Mo Shouchen wanted to take this opportunity to ask the question in his mind clearly, so he hurriedly chased him out. But when he walked out of the yard, he saw Gao Ziwen walking under the wall, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Mo Shouchen rubbed his eyes, then ran to the place where Gao Ziwen disappeared and stepped on the soil. There was obviously no place to hide here. How could a living person disappear just because he said he didn't see him?

"despair!"

Just when Mo Shouchen was confused, he suddenly heard a noise behind him. When he turned around, he was shocked to find that Gao Ziwen was standing behind him...
