Everyone was stunned again. This voice was wrong! Tingting was clearly a young girl, but the voice under the bed was that of a little girl.
The smile on Su Mu's face became more gentle, like a big brother next door. His tone was gentle but firm, and every word seemed to be carefully considered: "Tingting is a good child. Of course we will not hurt Tingting."
The dark shadow under the bed hesitated for a long time, and finally crawled out from under the bed.
She is a little girl about six years old, with black hair casually tied into two small braids, a little frizzy but still natural. She is very thin but looks quite agile, like a deer in the mountains.
She has a round face with a slight blush, which is the mark left by frequent exposure to the sun. Her eyes are big and bright, like a clear mountain stream, pure and flawless. Her long eyelashes are like two small fans, gently fluttering in the blink of an eye.
The little girl was wearing tattered clothes. She looked at the people in the room timidly, her dirty little hands nervously holding the photo frame.
Everyone did not let down their guard. After all, they had just experienced what happened to Wang Li, and no one could guarantee whether this little girl would suddenly turn into a monster like the villagers.
I just feel that the little girl in front of me is indeed somewhat similar to Tingting before.
"Mr. Su, this little girl is quite older than Tingting. Could they be sisters?" Ye Fanyu asked in a deep voice.
"No, she is Tingting."
Ye Fanyu was more and more surprised: "How did you know?"
Su Mu looked at him strangely: "This is Tingting's house, and the person living here is naturally Tingting. Is this strange?"
"Uh..." Ye Fanyu was unable to refute for a moment.
"Tingting, why are you hiding under the bed?" Su Mu smiled gently.
The little girl Tingting said nervously, "I just heard some noise outside, so I hid in fear. There are bad people outside... They will bully Tingting."
As Tingting was talking, she caught a glimpse of the empty plate of dumplings on the wooden table. Her mouth pursed and her big eyes were filled with tears: "Those are the dumplings my grandma left for me..."
Li Qiang, who had just eaten dumplings, scratched his head in embarrassment.
Ye Fanyu didn't take it seriously, but instead looked alert: "Grandma? Where is your grandma?"
Tingting felt aggrieved but also a little surprised. She stretched out her dirty little hand and pointed behind everyone: "Grandma is right there."
Ye Fanyu was startled instantly and turned around suddenly, but saw only a wooden rocking chair with no one on it. But the strange thing was that the rocking chair was rocking without wind, making a creaking sound.
He just felt his scalp tingling, and a chill rose along his spine, making his hair stand on end!
Su Mu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Tingting, good children can't lie."
Tingting pouted in dissatisfaction, and her innocent childish voice rang out: "Tingting is not lying, grandma is clearly lying in the rocking chair, she is looking at you now and greeting you!"
Everyone looked at the rocking chair in horror, which was empty but kept shaking. An unspeakable fear suddenly rose in their hearts.
The two extraordinary people, Ye Fanyu and Yang Dongqing, felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Cold sweat appeared on their foreheads. Their eyes kept scanning between Tingting and the rocking chair. They had no idea which side to rush to to meet the enemy.
They are capable of fighting against the villagers, but they are also afraid of these invisible monsters.
This is like a man holding a hunting rifle, and being asked to choose between facing a bear and a ghost. Without even thinking about it, he will definitely choose the bear.
In such a tense and weird atmosphere, Su Mu smiled politely at the rocking chair: "Hello, mother-in-law."
This abrupt greeting made everyone feel an uncontrollable sense of weirdness.
Yang Dongqing asked nervously in a low voice: "Can you see it?"
Su Mu smiled slightly: "I can't see it, but when an elder greets me, as a junior, I must respond so as not to appear rude."
madman!
Yang Dongqing once again gave Su Mu a new label, a gentleman with a degree of madness.
At this time, a silver bell-like laughter rang out.
"Grandma praised you for being a very polite young man." Tingting seemed to have forgotten about the dumplings and had an innocent smile on her face.
Su Mu smiled politely and nodded towards the rocking chair in a gentlemanly manner: "Thank you for the compliment. You are also a very kind elder."
The atmosphere became increasingly weird. In the eyes of everyone, Su Mu was talking to the air. There was clearly no one on the rocking chair.
"Grandma said it's getting dark and there will be shadows outside. You can stay here."
Is it getting dark?
Everyone hurriedly looked out the window and found that the sky was covered with a layer of haze, just as gloomy as their mood.
clang!
A crisp metallic clanging sound attracted everyone's attention. It was the sound of Su Mu opening his dark gold pocket watch. He checked the time: "Three o'clock in the afternoon. It really gets dark quickly."
He put away his pocket watch, and the dark golden Ouroboros pattern flashed before everyone's eyes. Then, he expressed his gratitude to the rattan chair: "Mother-in-law, we are sorry to bother you then."
After a while, everyone huddled in a corner, far away from the rocking chair, with their eyes fixed on it all the time.
Tingting was playing obediently with a doll made of rags in the bedroom, combing the doll's hair with a small wooden comb.
The sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The only sound in the whole room was the creaking of the rocking chair.
"Mr. Su, it's getting dark. Let's leave quickly. This place is too weird." Ye Fanyu whispered.
"Is it weird? Lovely Tingting, kind mother-in-law, it's obviously safe here." Su Mu enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere.
"Mr. Su! Now is not the time to joke. That Tingting and the Tingting in the time silhouette must have some strange connection, and that mother-in-law... you can't even see her, how do you know she is kind!?" Ye Fanyu growled.
"My mother-in-law is willing to take in homeless people like us. Isn't this kind?"
"You..." Ye Fanyu looked angry, but he didn't dare to leave here alone.
At this moment, crunch, crunch...!
The creaking of the rocking chair stopped!
Everyone instantly tensed up, because they all knew clearly that the rocking chair stopping meant...mother-in-law was coming down!
An invisible person, who knows where she will go?
Maybe she has already come to your face, looking at you motionlessly, with a kind smile on her wrinkled face.
Sizzle!
The candles on the table burned out of thin air, emitting a faint candlelight.
"It's getting dark, the bad guys are gone." The little girl Tingting jumped out of the room and said to the air beside everyone: "Grandma, I'm going out to look for my sister."
