Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 18
Liu Wangzhi has stayed at my house for so many days, and has always lived in peace with my family members, but to my father, this is undoubtedly equivalent to boiling a frog in warm water.

Of the two of them, one was suffering while the other was waiting, and it was up to whoever couldn't sit still first and took the initiative to tear the vulnerable window paper.

This invisible game has been going on quietly for a few days, and now it seems that my dad has lost.

I thought he would let me find a way to drive him away after he knew that Liu Wangzhi was the snake that was entangled with me, but I never expected that he was more ruthless than I thought, and he wanted Liu Wangzhi's life directly .

He knew that Liu Wangzhi was a snake that became a spirit on the mountain, and his methods alone had little chance of success, but he still took the risk and did it without hesitation.

Is it really for my sake?

After I came back from the back mountain, he never asked me what happened to me that night. If Liu Wangzhi didn't come to the door in person with wine, he might not care at all. What happened to the snake back then? Did you find me.

Now that he wants Liu Wangzhi's life so urgently, I can see that he is afraid.

The dull thunder rolled in the dark clouds, and the lightning tore apart the thick ink.

I slowly propped up the umbrella in my arms, stood alone outside the house, let the cold wind and rain hit my face, and looked at my father through the eaves: "Dad, you are so afraid of Liu Wangzhi, why are you so scared?" What do you owe him?"

What made him panic so much, for fear that Liu Wangzhi would come to collect debts, and even wanted to kill him.

My dad saw me open the umbrella and thought I was going to find Granny Mei, but I didn't expect that I didn't move at all and asked this question.

His fingers on the door frame became tighter and tighter, his eyes were flustered for a moment, and then turned into anger: "I told you to find Granny Mei, what are you talking about with me here! I think you were killed by a snake." Lost in my mind, I have already begun to lose my mind!"

"Dad, it's useless to run away." The angrier he became, the more exhausted I felt, "If it's true that the Bai family owed Liu Wangzhi, then find a way to repay it. If we confront him head-on, we won't gain anything at all. .”

"You! You..." My dad was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and he couldn't complete a sentence. He suddenly shook off his stepmother who was pulling his hand, picked up the bowl on the table and slammed it on my feet, "Get out If you don’t get Granny Mei here today, don’t come back!”

After finishing speaking, I closed the door with a "bang", isolating me from this home.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and my fingers holding the umbrella were gradually turning white. I quietly looked at the closed door for a while, slowly turned my toes, and walked towards the woodshed in the corner of the backyard.

When I left here today, I was in a hurry, the door of the firewood room was not locked, and the strong wind and rain poured into the house through the open wooden door, dampening the narrow space and covering the ground.

I close the door, turn on the light, put the umbrella against the wall, and start to tidy up the "shelter" that I will use to sleep tonight.

In fact, if I went to Granny Mei, I might be able to drink a cup of ginger tea with her and take a hot bath without sleeping on a pile of debris.

But I don't want to trouble her, she is already tired enough to deal with the snakes and beware of the things on the back mountain, how can I let her, an old man over seventy years old, get involved in the grievances of the Bai family for no reason.

The firewood room is full of old things. When I was a child, my father shut me up here for talking nonsense. After so many years, this room has almost become my second room.

I lay on an abandoned wooden table covered by old curtains, with my arms pillowed and my eyes closed.

The scenes at today's dinner table flashed in my mind, and my finally calm mood began to feel uneasy again.

I don't know what's going on with Liu Wangzhi, after all, after drinking the cup my dad prepared, even though it will kill him, he will feel uncomfortable to some extent.

The sound of rain has always helped me sleep, I was thinking wildly, and gradually became sleepy.

Just when I was drowsy and about to fall asleep, there was a strange laughing sound outside the door, and then, a thin and delicate female voice suddenly sang in the rain with a hollow voice!

"In the past, I sewed clothes for you. On a moonlit night, I shone in Huatang. Now I am still in the grave where you have passed away, with tears on my clothes..."

The person who sang the song outside the door cried and laughed, and the tune he sang was faint and sad, as if he was about to break his heart.

The sound was mixed with the empty and mournful echo of the sound of rain. In the middle of the night when no one was around, it was so weird that it made one's scalp tingle.

The nerves in my brain tensed up with a "hum", and my drowsiness disappeared immediately.But the opera singer was right outside the door, he could only curl up on the table stiffly, not daring to move at all.

In the middle of the night, it was windy and rainy outside, and the neighbors in the village had already gone to bed, so there was no way they would come to my firewood house to sing an opera.

I know in my heart that outsiders are not kind, and I am trapped in this narrow woodshed with no way out. If I keep moving, it will be tantamount to sitting and waiting to die.

After struggling in my heart for a while, I breathed a sigh of relief, and while the person outside the room was still singing, I quickly turned over carefully and climbed off the table lightly.

When I was cleaning the firewood house, I remember seeing a firewood knife lying next to the moldy firewood pile. I squatted on the ground and moved slowly. I found the rusty firewood knife and held it tightly in my hand. , Just like this, I was already so nervous that a layer of cold sweat broke out on my back.

I looked back at the wooden door of the firewood house again, confirmed that it had been locked, then moved slowly again, moving towards the window next to the firewood house little by little.

The outside of the glass window has been washed by rain and mist, but the inside is covered with a layer of old dust. I poked my head cautiously to look out from the inside. The window was so gray that I couldn't see anything clearly.

At this moment, the desolate drama outside suddenly stopped, and the courtyard became quiet, only the heavy rain kept falling down.

what's the situation?Is that thing gone?
I frowned and pondered for a while, thinking that I still had to see clearly before I could make a conclusion about the situation outside.

After being exposed to the rain, the clothes on my body were half wet and half dry. I didn't have any clothes to change, so I didn't take them off.This is a good thing, and there is no need to get wet when cleaning the windows.

I pulled up the hem of my clothes and stuck it on the glass, and wiped off the layer of old dust bit by bit. I watched the glass gradually become clean, and the lights in the courtyard also came in piecemeal.

Feeling that it was almost done, I put down the hem of my clothes, put my hands around the window and looked out to hide the light.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he leaned his head over, he was caught off guard and saw a motionless human face stuck to the glass window!
That thing didn't go away!
After cooperating and being quiet for so long, she is actually looking in the window from the glass, just like me!

And when I moved closer, I happened to meet her eyes directly!

"Ah!" I screamed in fright, and suddenly stepped back a few steps, the blood all over my body was completely cold!
"Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, a daughter, a widow who doesn't know how to cry, crying..."

The man laughed and cried again, and sang some incomprehensible words in an operatic voice, and then the door of the woodshed was thumped, and the deafening noise made people anxious in the rainy night!

I covered my ears and huddled in the corner, staring at the crumbling wooden door. My brain was in chaos, but I always felt that something was stuck in my thoughts, which made me faintly feel that something was wrong.

"Bang bang bang bang!" The door of the firewood room was still ringing, every time it hit my heart, it made my heart jump.

I tried my best to calm myself down, closed my eyes and recalled the face I saw just now, and within a moment, I stood up abruptly!
Eyes, those eyes!
My breathing was chaotic, I picked up the hatchet on the ground with shaking hands and strode towards the door, then took a deep breath, and slammed the door open!

There was thick fog all around, and the woman stood outside the door with disheveled hair, her hair was wet from the rain and stuck to her face, she was tilting her head, grinning, and smiling at me strangely.

My heart almost jumped into my throat, I held up the knife high, and shouted at her with red eyes: "Evil! Get out of my sister!"
