Four hours ago, in a house that had not been lived in for a long time.
Tang Jiaxin took out the key from her pocket and said, "I promised you that we can't tell anyone about what we did here today."
"Yes, if someone betrays his friends, he will not be allowed to play with us anymore."
Tang Xiaoxiao looked at the opened door curiously: "Jiaxin, I remember that no one has lived in this house for many years. How do you have the key to the front door?"
"This house belongs to my great-grandmother. After my great-grandfather passed away, my great-grandmother was taken to live in the city by her son.
Before leaving, she gave my grandfather the key and said that she could help clean his house and put up some couplets during the Lunar New Year, so that my fourth grandfather would have a place to stay when he came home to visit relatives.
After the door of the living room was opened, Tang Jiayi, who was the first to enter, fell to the ground and covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming.
Her action made the three people behind her stop.
Tang Xiaoxiao thought of the snake skin she had just seen on the wall, and her teeth were chattering: "Jiayi, what's wrong with you? There's no snake hibernating in there, is there?"
Tang Jiayi shook his head: "No, no, there is, there is..."
"What's the matter? Tell me now!"
"There's a coffin!"
Tang Jiaxin rolled her eyes and helped her up from the ground: "That coffin was made by my fourth grandfather when he passed away. My fourth grandmother said it could be used when she was buried.
My grandfather told me that the wood used is of the finest quality, which is not often seen by ordinary people."
She looked at Tang Jiaxin, who was still frightened, and said, "If you are really scared, go back first and let us play."
Hearing that her friends were going to abandon her, Tang Jiaxin became much braver: "It's okay, I just didn't react for a moment. Now that I know where they are coming from, I'm not afraid anymore."
The four of them turned on the flashlights, lit the candles and placed them on the table, then took out snacks from their backpacks.
Tang Xiaoxiao also brought her sister's tablet over: "My sister's tablet can be used to watch movies. We can watch while we eat."
What’s speechless is that these people found such a secret place just to share the snacks they had saved up so much money to buy.
When they were almost done eating, Xu Nuo thought of the story he had heard in class. He glanced at the empty bedroom and made a good suggestion: "How about we play a game?"
Her mysterious expression attracted others: "What game?"
"Four Corners Game."
Seeing that her friends were confused, she briefly explained the rules.
"The four of us stand in the four corners of the room. The person in the first corner moves behind the next person, and so on, until the four of us can meet up."
At this point, Xu Nuo chuckled and said, "Who knows, there might be one more person in the middle. It will be interesting then."
Children of their age like excitement, and their interest is piqued when they hear that they will encounter something scary.
In order to increase the playability of the game, Tang Jiaxin also suggested that everyone who takes action should crawl along the edge of the coffin.
After setting the rules of the game, they turned off all the lights in the house.
The first thing she did was to move forward. She started moving from the west side. When she bumped into the coffin, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
But she was the one who suggested this game, and if she showed fear from the beginning, others would definitely laugh at her.
In order to save face, she could only continue climbing by holding on to the coffin with her hands. After climbing over the coffin, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Xiaoxiao, who was closest to her, couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Xu Nuo, I didn't expect you to be so timid. You're even afraid of a coffin that no one has ever lain in."
Xu Nuo blushed at her laughter, but he retorted without losing face: "Tang Xiaoxiao, you are so happy. If you meet a ghost later, I wonder if you can still smile."
After hearing Tang Xiaoxiao's disdainful "tsk", Xu Nuo came up with another idea to play a prank on someone.
She quickly crawled to Tang Jiaxin's side, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Jiaxin, I have an idea. We can try to see if Xiaoxiao is really as brave as she appears to be."
"What are you going to do?"
"We crawled around in the first round and secretly opened the door to the living room. In the second round, Tang Xiaoxiao was the first to crawl, and then the three of us sneaked out to see if she would be scared and cry."
Tang Jiaxin shook her head in disapproval: "That's a bit too much."
Xu Nuo tugged at her clothes and said, "It's not too much. We'll lie on the window and watch her. If she's really scared, we can rush in and comfort her immediately.
Don't worry, Xiaoxiao has a good temper and won't be angry with us."
Seeing that she still didn't agree, Xu Nuo could only change the direction of persuasion: "Let me ask Jiayi later. If she agrees with my idea, you have to do it with us."
"good."
Tang Xiaoxiao's legs were numb from squatting, and she urged impatiently: "Xu Nuo, Jia Yi, can you two hurry up?"
"Right away, right away."
Xu Nuo told Tang Jiayi about this prank again when he met up with him. Tang Jiayi, who liked to watch the fun, agreed to it without saying a word.
Tang Jiaxin, who was wavering on the side, had no choice but to join them.
After the first round, the four of them were still unsatisfied, so Xu Nuo naturally suggested playing another round.
Then, the three of them arranged Tang Xiaoxiao to the first position as they had agreed.
Afraid that Tang Jiaxin would change her mind halfway, the two of them arranged Tang Jiaxin in the third position.
As soon as the game started, the two moved towards Tang Jiaxin, and deliberately made noises to attract Tang Xiaoxiao's attention.
Tang Xiaoxiao heard the sound of clothes rubbing against the floor and smiled helplessly: "Xu Nuo, I'm not deaf. If you want to scare me, can you please be more careful?"
Xu Nuo said proudly: "Xiaoxiao, I hope you can still be so confident later."
Tang Xiaoxiao quickly crawled to the first corner, and as expected, she did not see any trace of her companions.
She casually brushed off the dust on her hands and continued to crawl in the next direction. This time, she was a little surprised that there was no one in the second corner.
She stared at the third corner in disbelief: "Oh my God, Jiaxin, I didn't expect you to lie to me with them. I trusted you so much."
Tang Jiaxin, who had already come to the door with Xu Nuo, lowered her head guiltily when she heard her friend's words.
Xu Nuo clapped his hands: "You can tell me later that it was the two of us who dragged you away. If Xiaoxiao wants to blame someone, she should blame me, the culprit."
Tang Xiaoxiao in the house continued to crawl towards the last corner. When she reached her destination but couldn't find anyone, the smile on her face disappeared.
She carefully called out to her teammates, "Xu Nuo, Jia Xin, Jia Yi, are you still in the room? I can't find you.
Jiaxin, this joke is not funny at all, come out quickly!"
