However, the neighbor's attention soon shifted away from Jueqi's face. He was more concerned about whether Jueqi had anything else in his hand, and whether he had gone out in the middle of the night to steal other people's things.
Fortunately, Jueqi had nothing in his hand except a flashlight.
In this way, the neighbor watched Jue walk to her door, open the door, lock the door, and then enter the house.
I thought it was over and I could go to sleep.
Unexpectedly, he had just lay down for a while when he heard a sound from next door that sounded like crying, chanting, and a bit like mourning.
The voice was very familiar, and the neighbors were sure it was the voice of Jueqi.
But the strange thing was that he couldn't hear clearly or understand every word that Juejue said.
Although the cuckoo should have tried to make as little noise as possible, the village was very quiet in the middle of the night. Apart from the chirping of crickets and insects, there was the sound of the cuckoo.
The neighbor went to bed early last night, and I don’t know if Jueqi was nagging like he was tonight.
When she thought of this tonight, he was so frightened that he couldn't fall asleep for most of the day.
He didn't even notice when he slept with her in the end.
When he woke up, he thought about what he saw and heard last night, and he was still in a daze, wondering if he was dreaming.
Otherwise, why would Jueqi, who was a fine person before, do so many strange things in the middle of the night?
At this time, the neighbors realized that something might have happened to Jue.
What he guessed at the time was that maybe Feng Yan, the son of Jueqi, had done something to her, causing Jueqi to be in a bad mood, which led to her making such a strange move.
After all, a person's behavior is easily affected by his mood.
Feng Yan is Jueqi's only child and her only hope over the years.
If Feng Yan really did something to Jueqi, such as being unfilial or scolding her, Jueqi would probably be really upset.
The neighbor was not completely sure whether it was because of Feng Yan, so he could only tell his wife about it and asked his wife to find time to ask Ju Ju and enlighten her.
When the wife heard this, she became worried as well.
She has a pretty good relationship with Jueji. As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. The two families usually visit each other and occasionally help each other.
It is not easy to have a good neighbor, and of course she also hopes that Jueqi can live a happy life.
So the neighbor's wife took some fruits from home and turned around to knock on the door of Jueqi's house.
They knocked on the door for a long time. If the neighbor's wife hadn't been sure that Jue was at home, she would have almost suspected that there was no one in the house.
Fortunately, Jueqi finally came to open the door.
As a result, after opening the door, the neighbor’s wife was shocked!
Because the girl in front of him looked very weak, with dark circles under her eyes, pale lips and sallow skin.
The whole person looks like he has been up all night for several days.
This had never happened to Jueju before.
The neighbor's wife quickly asked her worriedly if she was sick and why she became like this?
However, Jueqi smiled and explained that he just didn't sleep well in the past two nights.
Considering the fact that she went out with a flashlight late at night these past two nights, it does make sense.
The neighbor's wife sighed and handed the fruit in her hand to her, saying that they bought too much and couldn't finish it, so she asked Jueqi to help her.
Jueqi refused for a while, but finally couldn't refuse anymore and had to accept it.
The neighbor's wife also took this opportunity to go into her house and sit down, intending to have a good chat with her. Her original intention was to ask her to pay more attention to her health, be more open-minded as she is getting older, and live one day at a time.
Because the two families lived close to each other, they often visited each other, and the neighbor's wife was no stranger to Jueqi's family.
But when she walked into the living room of Juejue's house, she was shocked again.
As mentioned before, Jueqi is a very meticulous person. Even though she lives alone, she keeps her house tidy and her living room spotless.
But this time when she came in, the neighbor's wife found a lot of broken stones in her living room.
Those broken stones did not look like pebbles on the river bank, but more like broken stones that fell from a huge rock.
Living in the countryside, it is normal to occasionally bring some mud or small stones home on your shoes.
There seemed to be too many broken stones in the living room of Jueqi's house.
Moreover, Jueqi was such a clean and tidy person that she actually managed to resist not cleaning.
Could it be that Jueqi is really so sad lately that she doesn't even want to do a simple job like sweeping the floor?
Thinking of this, the neighbor's wife suddenly felt sorry for her. She hurriedly asked Ju Ju where her broom was and offered to help Ju Ju sweep the floor.
Who knew that when Jueqi heard it, he tried his best to stop it.
At first, the neighbor’s wife thought that Ju Ju was being polite and embarrassed, but then she realized that Ju Ju was not embarrassed, but did not want her to touch the stones, as if he wanted them to remain the same.
She tried to stop him in an urgent tone and even stopped the neighbor's wife from getting close to the stones on the ground, fearing that the stones would be swept away.
This strange behavior made the neighbor's wife even more confused.
What is the use of the small stones all over the ground? Do they have any special meaning?
But when she looked carefully, she didn't see anything special about these stones, and their scattered positions seemed very random, with no apparent pattern at all.
Finally, under the insistence of her husband, she had no choice but to give up.
However, because of Jueqi's strange behavior of protecting the stone, the neighbor's wife felt that Jueqi must have a psychological problem.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many stones to fall on the ground of his house and not be dealt with.
Maybe after a while, there will be more messy things in the house, so don’t turn your house into a garbage dump in the end!
The neighbor's wife thought about it and felt that the situation was getting serious, so she quickly began to persuade Juexian, telling her to be more open-minded and not to be too hard on her body.
They also asked Jueqi if there was anything he needed help with, and they would definitely be willing to lend a hand if they could.
She had said so much before, but Jueqi just listened in silence, or forced a smile and said she didn't.
When she heard the neighbor's wife ask her if she needed any help, she finally said something different.
She looked at her neighbor's wife and cautiously asked her if she could not tell her son Feng Yan about her feelings.
When the neighbor’s wife heard this, she felt even more that something must be wrong with this mother and son.
Otherwise, Jueqi would not have made such a request, fearing that she would tell Feng Yan about it.
To be honest, seeing her in such a state, the neighbor's wife really thought about calling Feng Yan and asking him to come and see Jue.
