It was a little after three o'clock, and based on what had happened the previous two nights, there should be a knock on the door soon.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhang didn't even dare to blink, for fear of missing the person who appeared at the door.

But what they never expected was that the knock on the door did happen very quickly, but the surveillance video showed that there was no one at the door!

The two heard the noise coming from the door, and looked at the phone screen again with wide eyes in disbelief, but no matter how many times they looked, there was still no figure on the surveillance!

There was no one there, but there was a knock on the door...

Now, even if the couple was slow-witted and didn't think about anything else, they had to think more about it.

The one knocking on the door wasn't a human, could it be a ghost?!

Realizing this, the couple huddled together in fear.

But because they were facing something unknown, they didn't even have the courage to go out and check.

In the end, the couple could only hold on until dawn.

As soon as the sun rose, the two contacted the landlord and told him about the strange incident.

After all, the couple had never encountered anything like this before they moved in.

On the first day I moved in, there was a strange knock on the door.

This is definitely a problem with this store, maybe the landlord knows about it too!

After hearing the inquiries from Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, the landlord was initially vague in his tone, but when he heard Mr. Zhang's wife say that she wanted to give up renting the house and move to another place, the landlord finally became anxious.

I quickly told the couple that the knocking on the door would not affect them.

When Mr. and Mrs. Zhang heard this, they immediately confirmed that the landlord knew the truth and hurriedly asked him to tell them the situation. Otherwise, they would move out even if they didn't get the deposit!

The landlord naturally didn't want Lao Zhang and his friends to move out. After all, if Lao Zhang and his friends made this matter public, no one would dare to rent his shop again.

So the landlord could only tell Lao Zhang and the others what he knew.

According to the landlord, the knocking sound actually started a long time ago.

The landlord previously ran his own shop and lived in the shop for a few days.

Later he found that every night, when it was quiet, there would be a knock on the door. He was so scared that he didn't dare to stay in the store anymore.

But since he didn't live there at night, he was always worried that the thing would appear after dark.

So I simply gave up the business and rented out the store.

He had installed surveillance cameras at the door before, and from the surveillance footage, although the "thing" knocking on the door never showed up, it also never did anything else except knocking on the door every night.

Apart from that, I will not do anything to hurt others.

Otherwise, people living nearby will inevitably be affected.

After telling them all this, the landlord offered to reduce their rent, but on the condition that they could not tell anyone about it, so as not to affect the reputation of his store.

In order to do business, Lao Zhang and his friends invested a lot of money and even spent a lot of their savings.

Therefore, they don't want to waste their efforts and give up their ideas unless they have no other choice.

Especially in a situation like this.

Although they said they would rather move out without paying the deposit.

In fact, the deposit was several thousand yuan, and if they really moved out, they would have to find another store, which would be another expense.

If I really calculate it, I don’t know how much money will be wasted.

Therefore, the couple gritted their teeth and decided to continue doing business here.

But they also made the landlord promise them that if anything happened to them or they were hurt because of that “thing”, the landlord would have to compensate them.

The landlord agreed and the two parties signed a simple contract.

Although they told the landlord, the couple still felt uneasy.

What if they don’t know whether that “thing” will change its attitude and take other actions in the future?

So later, for safety reasons, they gave up the idea of ​​doing business in the store, so as not to affect the customers in the store.

As for the two of them, they did stay there for a few days, and during those days, nothing else happened except the knocking on the door.

So in order to save some rent, the couple finally decided not to rent a house and just stayed there.

But every night when they go to bed, they wear earplugs so that they won’t be woken up by the knocking on the door.

I thought I would be safe if I continued like this, but I didn't expect that Lin Xi would suddenly remind me tonight.

After the couple put the things back into the store, Mr. Zhang felt more and more uneasy.

He couldn't help but tell his wife about his encounter with Lin Xi just now, and asked, "Do you think that little girl really knows something? Also, why did she persuade us to move out? Will we encounter other problems later?"

When Lao Zhang's wife heard this, she immediately became worried.

But thinking about the fact that they really hadn't encountered any other accidents in the past few days, he finally comforted himself.

"That shouldn't be the case. Maybe the girl was just saying it casually..."

Lao Zhang couldn't figure it out, so he decided to keep looking.

If something else happens, their store might really be finished!

That night, maybe it was a psychological effect on Lao Zhang, but he felt like the earplugs weren't enough. The sound of knocking on the door actually came into his head through the earplugs.

He frowned and covered his ears, trying to push the earplugs deeper into his ears to enhance the sound insulation effect.

But there is absolutely nothing.

Not only that, he seemed to feel a cool air floating around him.

But in a state of half-asleep and half-awake, he didn't dare to open his eyes to check the situation.

In the end, I could only endure until dawn.

After waking up, I found that the dark circles under my eyes seemed to be even worse.

He took a look at his wife's condition and found that her dark circles were even worse than his!

Perhaps because they didn't sleep well that night, both of them moved slower than usual when preparing the ingredients.

Not only that, when making grilled cold noodles for customers in the afternoon, Lao Zhang also started to forget to add seasoning from time to time, causing the customers to remind him several times.

During this time, he met a customer with a bad temper, who started scolding him in front of him.

They said he couldn't even remember the hobbies his customers had mentioned. With this kind of ability, how could he still open a shop?

Lao Zhang knew he was in the wrong and could only apologize quickly.

Although the customer didn't make a fuss, the noise still reached the ears of other passers-by. Perhaps they realized that he was not very professional, so those who originally wanted to eat grilled cold noodles turned around and went to other stalls.

Therefore, this evening, due to Lao Zhang's poor condition, their business was much worse than the previous few days.

When the night market was closing, Lao Zhang and his wife looked at each other and finally realized that they couldn't go on like this.
