The Haunted

The child's words are not marginal, but the little girl's expression is quite clear, Chi Yan managed to understand what she meant, bent down and patted her head and coaxed: "Mom and brother probably misunderstood, this uncle has always been here of."

He thought it was funny in his heart. If he saw such a thing wrong, probably only children would take it seriously.

The little girl let out an "oh" and looked at the two of them and stopped talking.

Ye Yingzhi smiled lowly, took a step forward and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the child's head, but for some reason, he took his hand back.

Chi Yan looked at him suspiciously, and Ye Yingzhi explained: "Adults have too many bacteria on their hands, which is not good for children."

Chi Yan felt a little embarrassed when he thought that he had touched someone's child just now, and silently put his hands behind his back.

Ye Yingzhi leaned over and said to the little girl, "Hey, go back early at night, don't come out by yourself, and don't talk to strangers, it's not safe."

The little girl let out a "huh" in a ignorant manner.

At this time, only a female voice shouted: "Wenwen!"

The little girl turned her head, saw her mother, Ye Yingzhi and Chi Yan, then quickly staggered and ran towards her mother like swallows falling into the forest.

Ye Yingzhi dragged Chi Yan to continue walking forward, the voices of mother and daughter talking were left far behind——

"Wenwen, who were you talking to just now?"

"The two uncles on the boat in the afternoon, that uncle said that the other uncle has been there all the time. Mom, I didn't lie, it's my brother who read it wrong..."

The young mother only felt a chill on the back of her neck.

"Two uncles?" she confirmed to her daughter.

The little girl nodded with her eyes wide open.

However, she clearly saw that there was only one person standing in front of her daughter just now...

The mother was cold all over, and she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hugged her little daughter even tighter.Tomorrow, take the kids back tomorrow morning.No, my husband can't come back from other places, so I call my elder brother now, and ask my elder brother to pick them up tomorrow.

Chi Yan and Ye Yingzhi walked all the way, getting closer and closer to Daughter Lake. There were no street lights on this road, and the lighting was all dependent on the moonlight in the sky and the lights from the doors and windows of the residents beside the road.It was too dark at night, and the path Ye Yingzhi had chosen was a bit off, so there were only the two of them left along the way.

After walking for about 10 minutes, Chi Yan saw a child who was about the same size as the little girl just now waving to him. It was far away and the light was dim, so he couldn't see the other person clearly for a while. I can't tell the difference between male and female, and I can only vaguely tell from the size of the outline that it is a child.

Chi Yan said: "Yingzhi, there is another child over there, still beckoning me to go." He wanted to go there, but Ye Yingzhi stopped him and hugged him.

Ye Yingzhi hugged him lightly, and said with a smile: "What kind of child is there? You just saw that the little girl still has an image in her mind, so you misread it?"

Chi Yan looked at that place again, sure enough, the little figure who kept waving to him just now had disappeared.

He was stunned for a moment.The visual impression just now was too real to be an illusion.

Ye Yingzhi continued to whisper in his ear, "I like children so much, why don't you give me one?"

Chi Yan turned around and glared at him: "Can you give birth or can I give birth?!"

Ye Yingzhi only smiled, and walked back with his arms around him.

Such unnutritious flirting managed to divert Chi Yan's attention, ignoring what was wrong at that moment, and accepting the "illusion" explanation in his heart.

--------

The sound of drizzling water, something broke out of the water, getting closer to him...

In the early hours of the morning Chi Yan woke up again from his sleep, sat up from the bed, panting heavily.

Exactly the same dream.

The feeling of being stared at by something terrified him from the bottom of his heart.

It was cloudy tonight, the moon was gradually shrouded by clouds, and a layer of mist formed on the lake. The night was still calm, but there seemed to be something hidden.

The panic and fear were even hard to restrain. He didn't care about disturbing his lover, so he leaned on Ye Yingzhi's body and hugged him, and whispered, "Yingzhi..."

Ye Yingzhi immediately opened his eyes, put his arms around him calmly, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, I'm here."

Chi Yan shook his head, he always felt that something more terrible would happen.

"Knock knock", knock on the door sounded.

Not just their door, but the door downstairs.

What was even more weird was that with a "squeak", the downstairs room that was unoccupied, and the landlord said it was a house that was being renovated, followed the knock on the door, and the somewhat old door opened in response.And the sound of the door opening reached his ears very clearly.

The knocking on their door continued, but there was a rustling sound downstairs, as if something was crawling on the ground.

Chi Yan froze completely, unable to think because of the two simultaneous voices, and could only barely maintain the posture of holding Ye Yingzhi.

But Ye Yingzhi kept patting his back to comfort him, gently kissed his trembling eyelids, and at the same time did not forget to stretch out his hand to tuck his exposed back under the quilt.

Chi Yan heard the crawling sound downstairs getting clearer and closer, and then it seemed to change direction... That thing was crawling along the wall, which was the wall their bed was leaning against!He could even hear the sound of fingernails scratching the ceiling, and then all the sounds stopped - but Chi Yan knew that the thing stopped on the ceiling downstairs, facing the bottom of their bed.

But he didn't even dare to run away, because the rhythmic knocking on the door continued.

Chi Yan didn't dare to make a sound, he panted carefully, he was afraid that "that thing" below would hear it.

He leaned into Ye Yingzhi's ear very carefully and whispered: "...Yingzhi, did you hear that?"

In the darkness, Ye Yingzhi's eyes became extremely dark, he bent the corner of his mouth, and murmured: "Bold and bold." At the same time, his subordinates did not forget to continue to comfort his lover.

Chi Yan asked: "What did you say?"

Ye Yingzhi said: "I mean the rats are too courageous now. Fortunately, there are no rats in our house. I don't know who hates knocking on the door every day. I'll go and have a look."

His nonchalant attitude also affected Chi Yan, and Chi Yan felt less nervous and afraid: "It's not a mouse, listen to that sound, it's not something a mouse can make at all."

Ye Yingzhi stuffed Chi Yan, who had raised half of his body anxiously, back under the quilt, sat up and prepared to go down the tunnel, and said, "Well, there are many kinds of wild animals in this place surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it may be weasels or Pangolin or something."

weasel?pangolin?

Chi Yan grew up in the city since he was a child, and he only heard these animals by name, at most he had seen them on TV or in books, but he had never really come into contact with them, nor was he deeply impressed, so he didn't know what they were. What does it look like, what are its habits.After hearing Ye Yingzhi's words, I really felt that maybe I was thinking too much and scaring myself.

But the unusual knock on the door that followed his nightmares two days in a row was still scary.

He hugged Ye Yingzhi's waist from behind: "Yingzhi, don't go there, you stay with me, okay... just sleep, sleep, wake up in the morning and you'll be fine." Where did I get this kind of cognition of "just sleep and it will be fine".

Ye Yingzhi couldn't help but turn around and touch his face, remembering how he was so frightened that his eyes were red and crying straight away, and explained: "I went to take a look like yesterday, it must be the same person yesterday, and today he is the same person. I got the wrong door. I went to open the door and he would leave if he realized that it was not where he lived. Otherwise, how would you sleep if you keep knocking like this?"

Chi Yan felt a little relieved, but when he thought of the unknown thing lying on the floor under the bed, he felt terrified, and he didn't even dare to stay on the bed.He raised his head and looked at Ye Yingzhi: "...then I'll go there with you."
