Chapter 007
My legs were still weak when I got out of the car. Lin Tian slammed the car door and said, "Look at you. You're scared of riding in a car, and you're trying to be stubborn and not want me to care. If you run into ghosts twice more, you'll go to see God."
I said, how can this be the same? I have encountered ghosts a few times and at least I survived. Maybe I can learn by myself and hang out with Mrs. Jiu after summarizing my experience. When you get angry, I feel like I could die at any time.
Lin Tian snorted, it’s good that Madam Jiu confiscated you.
I'm saying, forget it, Master Lin, I'm not going to talk to you about this, I'm home now, go eat or do whatever you want. Anyway, I've made it clear. Even your mother can't control your temper, so there's nothing I can do.
Lin Tian stood there, motionless, and there was no sign of him leaving.
I calmed down, walked over to him, patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, brother, I know you're good to me, but you really don't have to worry about this. I have to go back and think about it. Maybe I accidentally provoked something."
Lin Tian was silent for a while before he said, "Okay, I'll go first. Think it over. If you have anything, call me. Even if you are going to die, you have to wait until I get here."
Although Lin Tian meant well, I was still very uncomfortable hearing what he said. But I was still very happy to see that he was willing to leave, and felt that my efforts in educating him were not wasted.
I said okay, I will wait for you even if I die.
After saying that, he opened the car door for him and let him get in.
I waved my hand and said that was it. Just as I was about to leave, he suddenly stopped me and said that I had forgotten something.
I looked back and saw that he was holding the report that Brother Wang gave me. I immediately felt uneasy. But I didn't want him to notice, so I could only take it carefully. Then he looked at me and drove away.
I looked at the report in my hand , and I couldn't throw it away, nor could I keep it. Although it was given to me by Brother Wang, most of the content on it was done before I asked for leave, and I didn't have the energy to do another one. I had no choice but to take it home.
I walked upstairs and opened the door. The house was still empty, exactly as it was when I left, which made me feel a little more at ease.
I looked at the time, it was almost seven o'clock, and I was starving. Fortunately, I had the habit of eating midnight snacks, and I had some instant noodles at home. Sometimes I thought it was quite pitiful, others were eating big fish and meat, but I could only eat these unnutritious things at home. But considering the current situation, I could only make do with it.
I boiled some water and soaked the noodles in a bowl. Then I ran to the bathroom to wash my face.
After washing, I looked in the mirror. I didn't know if it was because of the previous car accident and hospitalization, or because I had encountered too much dirt in the past two days, but my face looked really bad, and my eyes were bloodshot. It really looked like the end was near.
I made a face at the mirror to amuse myself, but it still couldn't ease the pain in my heart.
He sighed, then turned around and picked up the instant noodles to prepare for a good meal.
But as soon as I picked it up, I felt something was wrong. I had covered it with a bowl to prevent the water from getting cold, and it still felt quite heavy in my hand.
But now, holding it in my hand, I just feel it is light and nothing happens.
I frowned and lifted the lid of the bowl. I found that the noodles in the bowl were gone! Only some broken noodles and a little soup were left.
I was stunned for a moment, patted my face, and looked inside again, but even the noodle residue was gone!
My hand shook and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces with a loud bang!
I knew that I had encountered something strange again, and it happened at home where I felt most at ease.
I stood up quickly, not daring to breathe.
I slowly turned my head and looked around, but there was nothing in the room except the usual furniture, and there was no place to hide. I took out the knife from my trouser pocket. Obviously, the saying that swords can protect against ghosts is unreliable, but at least it can give me courage.
If someone could see what I look like now, they would probably take a picture and post it online and it would make the front page.
I held the knife and crouched like a Japanese soldier who had just entered the village, with a sharp look in my eyes, afraid of encountering an ambush by the Eighth Route Army.
But it was very difficult for me to move step by step. Although I was very strong in front of Lin Tian, I was still afraid when I really met him.
After making sure that there was nothing in the living room, I carefully walked around the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. It was getting dark outside, and I turned on all the lights in the room.
But after checking around, I still didn't find anything unusual. I looked at the fragments on the ground, and I was confused. I believed that I was not seeing things wrong, but I didn't see the shadow of a ghost like I did the last few times.
I wondered, could ghosts also be shy?
Although I can't see it, I feel uncomfortable all over when I think about there being such a ghost thing around me.
I sat on the sofa and thought for a long time, and finally decided to make another bowl of noodles. But this time it was not for myself, but to lure the snake out of its hole.
I took a new bowl and put it where the broken bowl was. Then I hid in the bathroom, half-closed the door, leaving a narrow gap, and lay behind the door to secretly peek at the noodles on the table.
I held my breath and dared not make any sound, but I could still hear my heart beating non-stop.
After waiting for a while, I don't know if it was my illusion or what, but I always felt that the bowl of noodles seemed to be a little tilted. I thought to myself that the noodles in the bowl would disappear inexplicably again. I was about to go out from behind the door to see what was going on, but suddenly I heard a snapping sound, and my eyes suddenly went dark and I couldn't see anything!
The sudden darkness scared me so much that I almost screamed. I took a step to escape, but in my panic, I forgot that I was hiding behind the door, and with a bang, my head hit the door hard!
I fell to the ground all of a sudden, my eyes closed, my hands tightly holding my head, the pain felt like it was about to burst.
I endured the pain with great difficulty and straightened up, took out my cell phone from my pocket, turned on the screen, and looked forward in the faint light.
This sight really took my breath away!
There was a figure standing in the narrow gap beside the bathroom door. From the posture, it seemed as if he was staring at me!
I didn't dare to look up, fearing that I would see something terrible. I only saw a pair of feet in the crack of the door, very small, without shoes, and the skin was gray!
When the thing saw my phone light up, it suddenly ran away.
I knew I was in a bad condition, my head was aching and my eyes were dizzy. I fell to the ground and dared not move, let alone run.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a series of loud noises coming from outside the bathroom. The sound was so loud that it made my hair tingle! I could only shrink my body as much as possible to make myself feel safer.
The sound lasted for a long time and suddenly stopped!
I didn't know what was going on, I just hoped that the thing outside the bathroom had gone away.
I waited for a while, making sure there was no more movement outside the door, then I tiptoed forward a step, gently opened the door a little, and looked outside.
But when I saw it, I really wanted to die!
There was a dark figure sitting on the sofa where I was sitting before, fumbling around, not knowing what he was doing. In less than a second, he also saw me, suddenly stood up and walked towards me!
I was so scared that I hurriedly crawled to the bathroom, not caring whether the floor was clean or not, hoping that a door would suddenly appear in the wall so I could get out. But before I had crawled far, I heard the door behind me being pushed open with a creak.
I didn't dare not look back, and I didn't know what I touched in my hand, it was very hard, so I grabbed it directly. If that thing really wanted to do something to me, I at least had a weapon to fight back, and even if it didn't work, I would still try my best to poke it a few times.
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden light behind me. The light was very dim, but it was enough to see the things around me clearly.
I was stunned for a moment, thinking, this ghost needs lighting? Then I heard a voice saying, what are you doing on the ground?
I heard the voice, it was familiar, I turned around and saw a person standing by the door, shining his cell phone at me. He was facing away from me, I couldn't see who it was, but I knew it was definitely not Lin Tian.
He came a little closer, but I was still worried, so I tightened the things in my hands, ready to take action if something went wrong!
The man squatted in front of me, looked at me for a while, and asked, "What are you doing lying on the ground with a toilet flusher in your hand?"
I took a closer look and asked tentatively, "Is it Ding Ding?"
He exclaimed, "Ah," and said, "Yes, it's me."
I let out a long breath and collapsed to the ground. Even though I didn't do anything, I felt really exhausted.
Ding Ding reached out and pulled me, saying, I thought no one was at your home, but I didn't expect you to be hiding in the bathroom.
I managed to stand up straight and looked around, but it was still pitch dark and I couldn't see anything clearly.
Ding Ding said, maybe the power outage happened, wait for me to go and take a look.
I hurriedly told him to stay and not move.
I really didn't dare to stay alone, for fear that he would run into something terrible if he left, and I was sure that the pair of feet standing outside the bathroom just now were not Ding Ding's.
Ding Ding said "Oh", and waited for me to walk out of the bathroom with the light of his cell phone. Then he rummaged through a bag on the floor for a long time, found a candle and lit it.
I took a look at the bag. It wasn't mine. It must have been brought by Ding Ding.
But the flickering candlelight made me even more suspicious. I pulled him aside and said, Ding Ding, take a good look, is there still a ghost in this room? I just saw one!
Ding Ding curled his lips and said, "There was one just now, but I cleaned it up after I came in, and it's gone now."
After hearing this, although I didn't completely believe it, I felt a little relieved.
I took a look at the instant noodles that had been placed on the table and saw that the bowl covering it had been taken aside, with only half of the noodles left.
I asked Ding Ding, what the hell was that thing just now and why did he like to eat instant noodles?
Ding Ding was stunned and said, "No, this is for me to eat. Didn't you see me eating noodles when you were lying behind the door just now?"
I was speechless. It turned out that the shadow I saw sitting on the sofa was him eating noodles here. I had no idea what was going on in this guy's mind. He thought I was not at home, but he suddenly ran in. When he saw a bowl of noodles on the table, he dared to put it in his mouth without knowing anything. Are people in this line of work born with such a thick nerve?
But when I thought about it, I felt something was wrong, so I hurriedly asked, how did you get in?
Ding Ding smiled and said, "I saw that your house was dark and I thought you were not at home. I don't like waiting for people, so I just broke your door lock."
