At first, Xiao Tangqiu thought it was the four people who had gone out to investigate who had returned, but he soon realized - why would they need to knock on the door when they returned? This broken wooden door wasn't locked, so why didn't they just push it open and come in?

Wait! Are those villagers trying to steal their food?

This seems even more wrong! If the villagers wanted to rob food in the middle of the night, there would be no need to knock. They could just barge in and do it. Do robbers even knock before they start robbing? How could such polite robbers exist?

The more Xiao Tangqiu thought about it, the more uneasy he became. However, although the strange knocking sound was intermittent, it never stopped. After listening for a long time, it sounded like raindrops tapping on the door. But when he listened carefully, it was still a knocking sound, which was so disturbing that he couldn't ignore it.

Although he wanted to fall asleep without caring about anything, the knocking sound was like the buzzing of a mosquito, constantly drilling into his ears, making it impossible for him to fall asleep.

He hesitated for a moment and got up again. He reached out and pushed Shen Yuan who was sleeping next to him. However, Shen Yuan seemed to be sleeping very deeply, lying quietly in the sleeping bag. No matter how he pushed, he would not wake up.

Xiao Tangqiu called Shen Yuan's name a few more times tentatively, but Shen Yuan still showed no signs of waking up. Under the moonlight, his eyes were tightly closed, and a small shadow was cast under his long eyelashes. It seemed that he was unaware of the movements in the outside world.

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly had a bad premonition. He climbed over Shen Yuan and called out to Duan Hongzhen who was sleeping on the other side. However, Duan Hongzhen was sleeping even more deeply than Shen Yuan. Not only was he motionless and unresponsive, he was even snoring.

Xiao Tangqiu didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of the rain was getting louder and louder, dripping... dripping...

Is it raining so heavily outside?

How could this shabby cabin possibly withstand such heavy rain? Even though the roof is leaking, the tattered walls don't look like they could withstand such heavy rain! Even the papered windows... No! This cabin doesn't even have papered windows!

Just when Xiao Tangqiu was feeling puzzled, he suddenly discovered something else - the intermittent knocking sound had stopped at some point.

At the same time, he suddenly realized that the windows in this wooden house were empty... There was actually no need to knock on the door, right?

At this moment, Xiao Tangqiu, who was facing the window, couldn't help but stiffen all over.

Pitter-patter——

Xiao Tangqiu didn't want to look back at all, but at this moment, the familiar knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the window, like rain hitting the door.

The knocking on the door became louder and louder, until it was as loud as the roar of rain. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Shen Yuan and Duan Hongzhen, but the two were still sleeping soundly and seemed not to hear the extremely strange knocking at all.

In the end, the only sound in Xiao Tangqiu's ears was the knocking on the door like the roar of rain. He could not hear any other sound. Even when he shouted Shen Yuan and Duan Hongzhen's names loudly, he could not hear his own voice.

The knock on the door kept echoing in his ears and even penetrated into his mind, almost driving him crazy... He finally couldn't help but turned around.

Xiao Tangqiu turned his head away.

A beautiful woman in a white kimono appeared in the bare window.

She was beautiful but melancholy, with sorrow between her brows. Because of the rain, her body was wet. The rain slid down her hair and face, splashing into the house drop by drop, and soon wet a small area by the window.

She just stood outside the window, staring at Xiao Tangqiu, her eyes melancholy and sad.

Xiao Tangqiu was so frightened that she almost screamed, but he stopped herself abruptly...Who was this woman? Was she also a ghost in the mountains?

But do ghosts get wet in the rain? Do they have physical form?

Although he was very curious about whether ghosts had physical bodies and would get wet by the rain, he was not the protagonist in a horror game who knew there were ghosts in the mountains but still wanted to die. Naturally, he would not go and die just to satisfy his curiosity. He just took a few steps back and looked at the woman in the white kimono outside the window from a safe distance.

The woman was wearing a simple white kimono, which was completely wet by the rain, inadvertently revealing a hint of temptation. Coupled with her melancholy and beautiful face, it was an irresistible temptation for any man. Most men would probably feel pity when seeing such a beauty standing outside the door, and would quickly invite her into the house.

But Xiao Tangqiu is not an ordinary man. He is a man who is familiar with the plots of various horror movies and the routines of various horror games. One of the classic rules of horror movies/games is: If you suddenly meet a strange woman in a deserted village in the mountains, you must ignore her, unless you are the protagonist, or you have a cheat, or you are the protagonist who is stuck with a cheat.

Xiao Tangqiu looked at the woman outside the window warily, and the woman outside the window also looked at him sadly. The two looked at each other for a moment, and no one spoke. The heavy rain was raging outside the house, and silence spread wantonly inside the house.

Pitter-patter——

The woman in the white kimono stared at Xiao Tangqiu in the room, and a pleading look gradually appeared on her face. She shivered slightly because of the cold afterglow of the rain. No normal man could resist the pleading of such a beauty.

However, as mentioned before, Xiao Tangqiu is not a normal man. He is a man who is familiar with the routines of various horror movies and horror games.

No matter how sad and pleading the woman in white kimono outside the window looked, Xiao Tangqiu remained calm and composed as a mountain. After looking at the beauty for a moment, he even yawned.

After discovering that the woman seemed unable to break in directly, Xiao Tangqiu immediately put his heart at ease. Although the sound of heavy rain outside the house never stopped, he suddenly felt sleepy and began to feel drowsy again.
