Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he just took out his tablet and watched some TV series. At about 3 a.m., the computer on the desk made a very small beeping sound. The sound was so small that it couldn't be heard outside the house, but Ouyang Qing's ears had been very sensitive to sounds since he opened the space. When he heard the first sound, he thought he had heard it wrong, and then another surveillance camera was triggered.

If it was raining, the surveillance cameras would not have sounded continuously. It must be something moving in the yard that triggered the surveillance alarm system. This thought made Ouyang Qing break out in a cold sweat. He calmed himself down and slowly got up. He carefully came to the desk and sat down. He didn't see anything on the screen. Ouyang Qingqing clicked on the surveillance playback and saw that surveillance camera No. 1 had captured a figure jumping down from the courtyard wall. The person turned around in the yard and went straight to the backyard.

Ouyang Qing immediately zoomed in on the surveillance footage of the backyard. The backyard of Ouyang's house was very small. It was called a backyard, but in fact it was just a wall behind the house. The wall of the house was no more than 50 centimeters away from the wall. Usually, they just put some sundries there, and people basically didn't go there every day at home. The black shadow was squatting in the corner and tinkering with it. Ouyang Qing understood that this person was the one who put things there in his previous life. He saw that person put the things hidden in his arms into the corner, and then put the wall tiles back in place.

Not long after, the man opened the door of the kitchen again. The kitchen of Ouyang's family had an old lock that could not be opened without a key. However, the man opened the lock in just a few moves. The black shadow came out of the kitchen in less than a minute. Ouyang Qing saw through the surveillance camera in the kitchen that the man looked in the kitchen, walked to the rice jar, and quickly put the things in his pocket under the rice jar.

Ouyang Qing was not worried that the man would see the things in the kitchen. Zhou Ma was usually very cautious, especially after she installed the surveillance camera that day. She put all the suspicious things in the kitchen into the cellar, and the entrance to the cellar was also well concealed. It could be said that even if you specifically looked there, you wouldn't find any problems. After the man came out of the kitchen, he climbed over the wall and left. Ouyang Qing observed for a long time before he was sure that the man had left.

Ouyang Qing slowly walked downstairs in the dark and knocked gently on his parents' door: "Knock knock knock... knock knock knock..." In the silent night, the knocking sound took a while before waking up Zhou Ma and her husband. Zhou Ma's hoarse voice rang out: "Who is it?" While asking, she also woke up her snoring husband beside her. Ouyang Qing replied anxiously: "Mom and Dad, it's me, please open the door quickly, and don't turn on the light to prevent any accidents."

The couple had just woken up in the middle of the night and were still in a daze when they heard their daughter say the word "something happened". They both shuddered at the same time and woke up completely. Ouyang Zhen quickly got out of bed and opened the door. The room was also dark. Ouyang's father asked anxiously: "Qingqing, what are you doing in the middle of the night! Did something happen?" Ouyang Qing immediately went into the room and lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Mom and Dad, when I went to bed tonight, I felt a little panic in my heart and couldn't sleep. I couldn't sleep so I was watching TV series. I found that there was a noise on the surveillance camera, so I got up to check and saw a dark shadow climbing over the wall. The man looked around in the yard and put some things in the corner of the backyard and at the bottom of the rice jar in the kitchen. I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I waited for a long time before I dared to come out of the room."

I didn't expect the person behind the scenes to act so quickly. It's only been a few days since I heard the news, how could that person put the things at home so quickly? Ouyang's father said, "You said the things have been put at our house. Did that person get the news and pull me down before the news gets out? Guilan's matter concerns our whole family. The second brother and the others have also called them to take a good look. There are some things they should know. Judging from this situation, the person behind the scenes can't wait any longer. We have to deal with that thing as soon as possible. Who knows, someone might come to our door in the next two days."

Afraid that the man might be staring at the house before he went far, the three of them went upstairs in the dark and woke up the two brothers. Ouyang's father explained the whole story and the family went downstairs in the dark. They first took out the things in the corner, then went to the kitchen and moved the rice jar away and took out the books and letters inside. After closing the door of the main room, the family went to Ouyang Zhou's room in the dark, drew the curtains, opened them, sat on the floor, turned on the flashlight and started to read. As expected, the things they found were letters and books, just like in the previous life.

Father Ouyang and his second brother's low, angry voices rang out at the same time. Ouyang Zhen looked at his three children and admonished them, "You three must be careful outside from tomorrow on. Now that we have taken these things out in advance, the people behind must be restless. I'm afraid he has other tricks up his sleeve. Qingqing, you and Xiaoheng should try not to go out in the few days before school starts. When school starts, you must go home early except when you are at school, understand? Before the matter with Xiaozhou comes to a conclusion, except for work, try not to go out. If they don't find anything in our house this time, I'm afraid that person will target our family members. You must remember this."

After seeing her husband finish speaking, Zhou Guilan said anxiously and worriedly: "Brother Zhen, you must be careful outside. You must find out who that person is and make him get the punishment he deserves. Who is that person?" The family discussed for a long time but could not find any result. Ouyang Zhou has been reflecting on himself since he was woken up and these deadly things were found at home. Before his eldest brother went to the army, he asked him to take good care of the family, but what about him? If Qingqing had not been unable to sleep in the middle of the night and heard the noise, the whole family would probably have been sent to the farm in a few days.

Those people in the Revolutionary Committee don’t care whether you are wronged or not. They probably hope that more such things will happen so that they can make contributions. I just heard from my dad that it was one of the two people in the factory. From tomorrow on, I must help my dad observe carefully. I can’t be indifferent when others want to harm the lives of my whole family! Ouyang Zhou said angrily: "Mom and Dad, what should we do with these things? It’s not safe to keep them at home! That person came to put things in the middle of the night so anxiously, which means he can’t wait. If nothing happens to our family, that person will definitely have a trick up his sleeve, but we don’t know what he will do next!"

What the second son said was exactly what Ouyang Zhen was most worried about. If that person's vicious plan failed, he would definitely come up with the next plan. He had to find the person as soon as possible, otherwise there would be a poisonous snake staring at his family every day and trying to do something bad. It would be hard to guard against that. When everyone was silent, Ouyang Qing said, "Dad, you and second brother must be careful when you work in the factory. If we find out something at home, that person will definitely do something bad to your work. Second brother is okay in the workshop. We all work together in the workshop. He is not the main technician, and that person will not go to the trouble to frame second brother. But second brother, you still have to be careful. If dad wants to harm you in the factory, he can only make a fuss about your management of production. We can also think that the person will not find a way to harm you in the factory for a while, or he wants to harm you but can't find any evidence against you, so he turned his attention to our family because he was anxious."

Ouyang Zhen felt mixed emotions for a moment. He had become the director by relying on his own abilities and climbing up step by step. He had never done anything to harm anyone nor had the intention to harm anyone. He even disdained to use such despicable means to climb up. However, that person could not find any fault in his work and thus schemed to harm his entire family. He must give this person a taste of his own medicine because he had no bottom line in doing things.
