Bang bang bang!
Bang!
"Be gentle, it's coming!"
An urgent knock on the door quickly woke up Wu Xingmin, who was sleeping in the room on the first floor closest to the door. He hurriedly put on his slippers and went out to open the door.
Years of habit had made him develop the habit of light sleep. When there was the first knock, he heard it and hurriedly called out in a low voice to the person knocking at the door to stop, so as not to wake up the old man and the others.
The person outside the door heard the sound from inside and quickly stopped knocking on the door.
Wu Xingmin opened the door and Yan Ziyuan appeared before him.
"Why are you back at this time?"
"My wife hasn't gone home yet, so I'll come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with her."
"Tsk tsk~~ You really can't bear to be apart from me. You can't bear to be apart for even a second longer."
"Come in quickly."
Wu Xingmin stepped back two steps and let him enter the house.
"Have you eaten? We have some ready-made dumplings at home. How about I make you another pot?"
"Uncle Wu, don't worry about me. Go to bed. I'll take a shower and go upstairs."
Wu Xingmin didn't bother to be polite with him and turned around and went back to his room.
I was too lazy to get hot water, so I took a quick cold shower and went upstairs.
I turned the doorknob but didn't open it. My wife locked the door from the inside. This was her habit. No matter where she slept, she always liked to lock the door from the inside.
He knocked gently and put his ear to the door, but there was no sound from inside.
He used a little more force, but his wife seemed to be sleeping soundly, so he didn't wake her up. If it was before, she would have woken up with such a heavy knock on the door.
There was no hope of opening the door from the inside, so he had to go downstairs and wake up Uncle Wu again.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you have the room key? My wife locked the door from the inside and I can't get in."
"Hold on."
Wu Xingmin went into the room and took out the key from the cabinet.
"Here are the keys to all the doors in the house. They all look the same without any markings. Try them one by one."
"Okay, go to sleep, I'll come back to return the key in the morning."
Taking a bunch of keys, he quickly went back upstairs and opened the door after two tries.
The room was very quiet. Xiao Yu drew the curtains, making the room pitch black. Not even the moonlight could get in.
Yan Ziyuan gently placed the key on the cabinet beside the door, closed the door, and walked towards the bed in the dark.
From the moment he came in, he felt something was strange, but since he could sleep with his wife in his arms, he didn't think too deeply about what was strange.
Until he lay on the bed and touched the side...
He jumped up from the bed in shock, strode quickly to the door and turned on the light in the room.
He stared at the bed with scattered bedding, and there was no one on it!
No...it should be said that the whole room was empty and there was no sign of my wife at all.
At this moment, he finally realized why he felt strange just now.
The room was so quiet!
Yan Ziyuan has been receiving training for many years and has excellent hearing and vision...
But the room was so quiet just now that he didn't hear his wife's breathing at all.
Before he opened the door with the key, it was clearly locked from the inside and the windows were closed, proving that Xiaoyu had entered the room, but where was she?
Yan Ziyuan recalled some things that made him feel strange after meeting Xiaoyu, but he did not delve into them.
He knew that his wife was hiding something from him, and she didn't seem to intend to tell him, but who could tell him what the situation was?
Where is his wife?
How could it disappear out of thin air?
Some bad thoughts popped into his mind, making him break out in a cold sweat.
In the twenty-five years since he was born, he has never been as scared as he is now.
Even when the enemy's black gun muzzle was twenty or thirty meters away from him and the bullet could hit any part of his body at any time, he was not afraid.
But at this moment he admitted that he was really scared!
After adjusting his thoughts, Yan Ziyuan locked the door from the inside again.
He was no longer sleepy, so he sat quietly on the chair and waited for dawn. Perhaps when dawn came, his missing wife would suddenly appear before his eyes.
There was nothing he could do at this moment but wait and pray...
As time passed, he became calmer and calmer.
Having thought of thousands of possibilities for his wife's disappearance, he once even suspected that she was a fairy who had descended to earth, because the consumables in the house would often "suddenly" increase and seemed to never be less.
He was sure that she had not gone to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it, nor had she gone to the town to buy it. If she had gone to buy it, given the quality of their family's food, there would have been a lot of gossip in the tube building.
However, apart from buying some meat to entertain everyone when he first came over, Xiao Yu had never heard from outsiders that his wife spent money without restraint.
Another thing is that my wife knows so many things, and given her original identity and the environment she is in, there are many things that she simply cannot learn. There is no opportunity or conditions for her to learn.
Even with the help of her father-in-law, according to his understanding, this happened shortly before she was going to the countryside.
He didn't know what Xiao Yu was like before she met him, but he guessed that she should be completely different from now.
..........
At half past six, the alarm clock rang on time.
Song Fuyu, who was sleeping in the space, turned off the alarm clock, turned over, and continued to sleep, waiting for the alarm clock to ring again.
It is still more comfortable to sleep in this space. The temperature is constant all year round, neither too cold nor too hot, and you can also cover yourself with a thin blanket to increase your sense of security.
The more comfortable she was in the space, the more anxious Yan Ziyuan outside the space became.
According to his previous habit, he would get up on time at 5:30 every morning, but now it is already 6:30 and Xiaoyu is still nowhere to be seen.
He was worried that his grandparents would know he was back and would ask him to go downstairs for breakfast. It would be bad if they found out Xiaoyu was not there.
At six forty the alarm clock rang again. Song Fuyu stretched and slowly got up from the bed.
He casually fiddled with his hair and left the space.
