Placid Chang'an

Tee, Tee, Tee...

The knock on the door came from the courtyard door outside, one after another, faster and faster, if you listen carefully, it is like hailstone the size of an egg hitting a wooden board, fast and powerful, as if something urgent happened.

Su Cen and Qu Linger looked at each other, Su Cen folded the drawing paper and said to Qu Linger, "Go and open the door."

Qu Ling'er went out to open the door, Su Cen put the drawing paper back into her arms, and the kung fu man who picked out the wick came back, looking at Su Cen with a confused face: "Brother Su, there is no one."

"No one?" Su Cen frowned slightly, "Then who was knocking on the door?"

Qu Linger shook her head, "It must have been a mistake."

Su Cen glanced at the dark night outside the window, went to close the door, turned around and said, "This village is not peaceful, let's go to bed earlier."

Qu Ling'er hugged the quilt tightly on her chest and nodded.

When Su Cen walked to the table and was about to turn off the lights, the candle suddenly "crackled" and the figures in the room swayed, accompanied by a faint knock on the door.

The two of them listened for a while, and Qu Ling'er lifted the quilt angrily, "Who's going to make fun of me!"

Just as she was about to open the door angrily, Su Cen stopped her and whispered a few words, and Qu Ling'er suddenly understood.

This time, after learning the lesson from last time, Qu Ling'er moved towards the courtyard door lightly. His lightness kung fu is good in itself, and walking on tiptoes like this made no movement at all. As he approached the courtyard door, the knocking on the door continued. Even the Immortal Da Luo couldn't run at such a short distance.

Su Cen also came out of the room and leaned against the door, waiting to see who was so leisurely in the middle of the night?

Qu Ling'er lightly put her hand on the door latch, heard the knocking sound outside the door, turned her head and looked at Su Cen, and then opened the courtyard door with lightning speed!

Holding his breath, it seemed that even the wind in the courtyard had stopped. After a few snaps of his fingers, Su Cen frowned slightly, and took a few steps forward, "What's wrong?"

Qu Ling'er turned around in a daze, her eyes were full of shock after being overly frightened: "Su...Brother Su, no one..."

Su Cen was also surprised: "How is it possible?!"

Just now when Qu Ling'er opened the door, the knocking sound didn't stop, unless the people outside the door have the ability to escape, how could they disappear under Qu Ling'er's nose!

"Really... really no one..." Qu Ling'er looked like she was about to cry, "Brother Su, is there a ghost?"

"Where is the ghost in this world?" Su Cen stepped forward to lock the door, patted Qu Ling'er's shoulder to comfort her, and turned her head, facing the deserted lonely moon hanging high on the roof of the thatched roof .

"Ling'er, do me a favor."

Qu Ling'er was lying on the roof, her eyes were facing the gate of the courtyard. With the help of the moonlight, she could see everything inside and outside the courtyard.

Standing in the courtyard, Su Cen focused his eyes on the two courtyard doors. As long as Qu Ling'er gave an order, the two of them would cooperate inside and outside to make sure everything was safe.

The moonlight is clear, and the wind and grass here seem to have slept with the village. Except for the lonely shadow as a companion, there are not even insects and birds in the empty yard.

Such a loud knock on the door, even if Granny Lu was deaf and couldn't hear it, but Lu Xiaojiu shouldn't have heard it too. Could it be that he was really threatened by the mansion and didn't even have the courage to come out and take a look?

After waiting for a long time, Qu Ling'er almost fell asleep on the roof, when a knock on the door suddenly came as promised!

Qu Ling'er woke up suddenly, leaned up and looked forward.

Immediately afterwards, as if a basin of cold water was poured over her head, Qu Ling'er stood still, unable to speak.

"Ling'er!" Su Cen yelled and managed to bring Qu Ling'er back from her thoughts, "What did you see?"

Qu Ling'er was really about to cry, there was no ghost outside the door, let alone anyone, but the knocking on the door continued, bang, bang, bang... echoing back and forth in the empty yard.

Qu Ling'er scrambled down from the roof and grabbed Su Cen's sleeve tightly: "Su, brother Su, what should I do?"

Su Cen stared at the courtyard door, the knocking on the door became faster and faster, even Su Cen couldn't help feeling a little panicked, there seemed to be dozens and hundreds of hands smashing on the courtyard door, but Qu Ling'er knew clearly Tell him that there is no one outside the door...

Su Cen regained his composure, took a quick step forward, and opened the door—as expected, the courtyard was empty and silent as before.

Is it really a ghost knocking on the door?

Before Su Cen came back to his senses, there was a sudden scream from behind. Su Cen hurriedly turned around to look, and saw Qu Ling'er pointing behind him with trembling fingertips, her pupils were dilated with fright, she was extremely frightened.

Su Cen tilted his head slightly, and saw the word "death" left on the courtyard door beside him with blood, the blood was still wet, and was still dripping down...

Su Cen froze for a few moments before regaining some intuition, and unexpectedly raised his hand to touch it.

The fingertips were sticky, slightly fishy, ​​and indeed blood.

"Brother Su, let's go in." Qu Ling'er didn't dare to go forward, so she could only stand in the yard and look out, seeing Su Cen staring at the bloody words in a daze, for fear that his brother Su would be taken away by something.

But Su Cen didn't retreat but advanced, as if he was going to throw himself on the door.

After a while, Su Cen suddenly raised his lips and smiled.

Qu Linger's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself: "It's over, brother Su is in the wrong place, if we really start to fight in a while, should I be soft?"

Su Cen hooked his hands at Qu Ling'er: "Come here."

Qu Ling'er thought to herself: "I'm not going to be fooled by you." She put oil on her feet and was about to run away: "Brother Su, I'm suddenly sleepy, I'm going back to sleep."

Su Cen called again impatiently: "Come here."

Qu Ling'er's heart was pounding, she was afraid that the ghost would call him to kill him, but she was also afraid that the possessed ghost would rush forward in a hurry, she was in a dilemma, whether to go or not to go Nor is it.

Su Cen knew at a glance that Qu Ling'er was scaring herself again, rolled her eyes, and said, "If you don't come here again, I'll tell Qi Lin that you secretly contacted Han Shu behind his back. "

Qu Ling'er obediently passed by without saying a word.

Su Cen closed the courtyard door from the outside, led Qu Ling'er to hide behind a big tree, and said softly, "I already know what's going on."

Qu Linger's mind was completely out of touch with the door, "How do you know that I have a private relationship with Han Shu?"

Su Cen smiled softly, "I'm a ghost, I know everything."

Qu Ling'er gave him a blank look: "With a ghost like you, then I won't be afraid of ghosts anymore."

Before the words were finished, there was a sudden "boom" at the door.

The two immediately held their breath and looked at the door together.As expected, there was nothing in front of the door.

"Did you see it?" Su Cen said softly.

Qu Ling'er closed her eyes and dared not look directly: "What, what?"

"Did you see what it was knocking on the door?"

Qu Ling'er squinted a little, and immediately covered her eyes with her hands: "There is nothing, nothing!"

Su Cen forcefully pulled Qu Ling'er's hands down, "Look again."

Due to Su Cen's lust, Qu Ling'er had to open her eyes again, she couldn't help being stunned, "What are those dark shadows?"

"It's these black shadows," Su Cen smiled lightly, and led Qu Ling'er out from behind the tree. The black shadows in front of the door immediately dispersed and disappeared into the night.

Qu Ling'er's hand was ill, she took out a lancet and swung it, bringing back a bunch of black shadows from the night, which clattered to the ground.

The two of them leaned over to have a look, and Qu Ling'er was taken aback: "This is... a bat?"

Su Cen bent down and picked up the lancet, "This is the culprit who knocked on the door tonight."

Qu Ling'er was puzzled: "But why did it knock on the door?"

Su Cen smiled lightly, and pointed to the bloody letter on the door: "That's why."

"Someone wrote this word on the door with eel blood. The eel is bloody. Bats come here at night and they will keep bumping into the door. Once we open the door, the bats will scatter and we can't catch them." People. We can't find the reason if we go on like this all night, we can only scare ourselves enough."

Qu Ling'er's fear turned into anger immediately, "Who is it? Can you come up with such an insidious trick? Let's see if the young master catches the class and cleans him up first, his mother won't recognize him!"

Su Cen shook his head, "I've checked, and there are no blood letters on the other doors, only ours. Someone deliberately wanted to scare us."

The dark alley was filled with fog at night, even if someone was watching them just now, they would have already run away by now, and there was no trace of them.

In the middle of the night, the two of them had to fetch water to wipe off the blood on the door to ensure that no more bats would be attracted, and then they went back to sleep peacefully.

After tossing around in the middle of the night and just laying down, Su Cen turned off the light, Qu Ling'er stretched her waist, and got ready for a good sleep.

Tee, Tee, Tee...

The two opened their eyes sharply!

What was even more frightening this time was that the knocking sound was right next to their ears, on the door a few steps away from them.
