night.
Luo Tianhe looked puzzled when he saw me moving my things to another room.
"Didn't we sleep well last night? Why do we need to change rooms? Is it too much of a hassle for you to sleep with me? Wouldn't it be better if we slept side by side?"
I smiled at him and said, "Hehe."
I'm really scared now.
I can't beat him in a fight, and if he really forces his way in, should I refuse, or should I refuse?
In the middle of the night, I heard groaning sounds coming from next door again.
No, Zeng Wei went to Uncle Liu's house, so why is it still so lively next door?
The room we slept in before was separated from the room by a very thick wall, a wardrobe, and a storage room.
But now I live right next to Zeng Wei, and the noise can be as loud as it wants.
Just like when many people sing and dance in front of me, I toss and turn and can't fall asleep.
Just as I was about to knock on their door and ask them to be quiet, someone knocked on my door first.
Upon opening the door, they found it was Luo Tianhe.
"you……"
As soon as I opened my mouth, Luo Tianhe grabbed me and pulled me outside.
"Get out of here quickly, something's happened."
"Something happened? Where's Master Jin?"
I looked around; it was pitch black, without a single ray of light. Completely dark.
"Master Jin has already gone ahead. Let's hurry over and meet him."
I said "Oh," and turned to close the door.
Just as I turned around, my gaze was drawn to a figure at the end of the corridor.
The bright moonlight shone through the stained windows and onto the dark corridor, outlining a mottled and colorful play of light and shadow.
At the edge where light and shadow intertwine, a woman with disheveled hair stands quietly.
Her long hair cascaded down like a black waterfall, almost completely obscuring her face, with only a few strands visible fluttering eerily in the breeze.
Isn't that Zeng Wei's cousin?
Why is she standing here all alone so late?
Just then, I inadvertently looked down.
Under the moonlight, a row of wet little shoe prints came into view.
The shoe prints stretched out from the darkness, winding their way to Zeng Wei's cousin's feet.
My heart skipped a beat as I suddenly remembered the shoe print I'd seen last time.
However, the shoe print that time had the toe pointing outwards, while this time, the toe was pointing inwards.
what does that mean?
Could it be that she had been silently eavesdropping on everything inside the house before Luo Tianhe knocked on the door?
Thinking about this, I felt the hairs on the back of my head stand on end.
A chill ran from the soles of my feet straight to my head.
Just as I stood there dumbfounded, Luo Tianhe's urgent voice came from behind me: "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and go!"
When I turned back, the spot where Zeng Wei's cousin had been standing was empty, as if she had never been there at all.
Only a row of eerie shoe prints remained, standing out starkly in the moonlight.
Let's go.
Luo Tianhe looked hurried, his steps quickening until he was out of the courtyard.
Seeing him walk straight towards the village entrance, I quickly chased after him: "Didn't you say something happened to Uncle Liu's family? Why are you leaving the village instead?"
This situation is completely different from what I expected.
"Suqin is dead. She's already been taken up the mountain. Hurry up, or it will be too late."
Luo Tianhe spoke very quickly, quickening his pace as he spoke, until he was almost running.
He gripped my hand tighter and tighter, like a pair of pliers, holding my wrist so firmly that it hurt.
"Where are Jin and the others?"
I followed him, panting, while pressing him for answers.
But the further I went, the more uneasy I felt.
The road became increasingly remote and difficult to traverse, and the surroundings were pitch black, without a single ray of light.
Logically speaking, if you go up the mountain at night, even if you don't have a torch, you should at least have the light of a flashlight.
Moreover, given the magnitude of the incident, normally half the village would go.
But at this moment, the surroundings were eerily quiet, without even the chirping of insects; the silence was unsettling.
"hehe!"
Just then, I suddenly heard a woman's laughter.
The laughter was sharp and eerie.
Goosebumps instantly rose all over my body, and my hair stood on end.
"Brother Luo, did you hear someone laughing?"
I quickly turned to look at Luo Tianhe, but he had his head down and was just walking forward quickly.
"Didn't hear you? Hurry up, or it'll be too late."
He didn't even look up; he was practically jogging.
Could it be that I'm hallucinating?
I was filled with doubt, yet I wasn't sure.
"hehe."
After walking a few dozen meters further, the woman's laughter grew even louder.
This time, I heard it clearly; the sound was right beside me.
My heart skipped a beat.
Luo Tianhe is suspicious!!!
I didn't turn my head directly, but instead glanced at him discreetly out of the corner of my eye.
It would have been better if I hadn't looked; once I did, my heart skipped a beat.
Luo Tianhe grinned, revealing an extremely eerie smile that stretched almost to his ears.
In the pitch-black night, that smile looked especially sinister and terrifying.
My breathing became rapid.
I followed him discreetly while secretly rummaging in my pocket with my other hand, hoping to find something I could use as a weapon or to call for help.
After touching it for a long time, I only managed to grab a handful of air.
I tried to make my voice sound normal and said, "Brother Luo, it's so dark on this road, I really can't run anymore, let's take a break."
I plan to keep him calm first, and then find a chance to get away or find out what really happened.
