Spring is coming

Chapter 33

That thing came out of Zhou's house, its body was hunched, its hair was disheveled, and its steps were sloppy.

What he was wearing was more like a pile of tattered strips of cloth than clothes.

There were no lights in any of the rooms, and Mo Jingchun and Mo Qinglin could only be identified by the faint starlight in the yard.

The thing turned its head, and there were three frightening black holes on its pale-as-paper face where the eyes should have been.

There are two concave holes on the nose, and below is a horizontal bloody crack, which is probably the mouth.

When I saw this face in the middle of the night, it didn't look like a human being.

The thing was very cautious. Perhaps it felt that there was a gaze behind it, so it suddenly turned around and looked around.

As soon as "he" turned around, a gloomy cold air hit his face. Mo Jingchun shivered, and he was so frightened that he forced himself to climb down from the window sill.

Mo Qinglin's condition over there wasn't much better, but he at least managed to hold on and saw the man lighting the wicker sticks, throwing them into the chicken shed, and finally entering Zhou's house.

The sound disappeared.

Mo Qinglin slid to the ground with his back against the wall, his body went limp and he was breathing heavily.

His position was closer to Mo Jingchun's window, so he could see it more clearly!
That neither human nor ghost thing went to the house of the second brother and the second sister-in-law, and there was no movement at all. Will anything happen to the second brother and the second sister-in-law?

He was anxious, but he didn't dare to go out and disturb the thing at this time.

Finally, when the rooster crows, he rushes out before dawn: "Second brother! Second sister-in-law! Are you okay?"

He knocked on the door loudly, and the room was very quiet. No one came out to open the door for a long time, and he became more and more anxious.

"Second brother! Open the door!"

Just when he was about to kick the door, the door opened——

"It's so early in the morning, why are you so nervous?"

It's Zhou.

She had a bad breath, her hair looked like a chicken coop, and her clothes were in a mess. She looked like she had just been woken up.

Mo Qinglin was not in the mood to argue with her about this. He eagerly grabbed Zhou's hand and asked, "Second sister-in-law, in your house -"

"Oh, is it Qinglin? What happened in our house?"

Mo Qinglin, who fell down a few days ago, also jumped to the door with one foot and asked him kindly what happened.

"Uh" Mo Qinglin paused for a moment. He saw that thing was really scary. How could the second brother and second sister-in-law be fine? No, no, of course it would be best if they were fine.

He let out a long breath and became less anxious. He calmed down and thought to himself that it would be better not to tell them about this yet, so as not to scare them.

He peeked inside twice, but he didn't see anything yet, but he was immediately blocked by Zhou's whole body at the door.

She grabbed Mo Qinglin's ears and carried him farther away: "What do you want? What are you looking at secretly here!"

"It hurts..." Mo Qinglin's ears were grabbed, and the grievance and anger in his heart suddenly came up, "Second sister-in-law! Let me go!"

Their movements made Gao Shi, Mo Jingchun and Mo Song wake up, and they all put on their clothes and came out to see what was going on.

"Mom! The second sister-in-law grabbed my ears!"

Mo Qinglin was upset, but he was still a child at heart. As soon as he saw Mrs. Gao, he couldn't help but run into her arms and complain.

Zhou was angry but didn't dare to get angry after meeting Gao, so she could only glare at Mo Yuanlin.

Mo Yuanlin said sarcastically: "Mom, why did you get up so early?"

"Why are you so early? Didn't you wake me up?" Mrs. Gao said with a straight face. Seeing that Mo Qinglin's ears were all red, she hugged Mo Qinglin a little tighter and shouted at the two of them: "What are you doing? Bullying early in the morning. Your brother!"

Mo Yuanlin felt very wronged and said aggrievedly: "Mom, I didn't—"

"Not yet?! If I hadn't seen your wife pulling his ears, how would you call it bullying? You, the elder brother, didn't care about anything and just stood aside and watched the fun!"

Gao's eyes were sharp, and all his anger from getting up early in the morning was radiated on the two of them: "I'm not dead yet, how do you bully the younger ones like this? No wonder your son is doing nothing every day. Look at yourself, even after the family is separated. He acts like the master of his own country!"

Mr. Gao scolded him all the time, but Mo Yuanlin didn't dare to retaliate, and just said yes to Nono.

Seeing this in Gao's eyes, he felt even more that he couldn't support a family, and he was actually glad that he didn't let Chun'er live with their family in the first place.

Otherwise, I have to give up a good child and raise him to waste!
If Mo Jingchun could hear what Gao was thinking now, he would probably be extremely sad.

Gao's guess was correct. She had been under the eyes of the two of them. One had been harsh to the other and indulged in her since she was a child. She had been developed into a character that no one else dared to resist.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but muttered dissatisfied when she criticized him: "He came to knock on my door early in the morning before dawn, making people uneasy!"

After hearing this, Mo Qinglin said aggrievedly: "Mom, I saw that something dirty had been put into the second sister-in-law's house. I'm worried-"

Halfway through his words, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly denied: "Little brat, what are you looking at? Our house is very clean! There is nothing!"

Her expression was flustered, her eyes flickering, and she hurriedly pulled Mo Yuanlin to close the door and enter the house.

"Stop!" Mrs. Gao saw something was wrong.

She didn't know what happened last night, but she just noticed something strange from Zhou's reaction and Mo Qinglin's words.

"Qinglin, what did you say you saw?"

"I saw something was wrong! It was a ghost! A ghost came out of the second sister-in-law's house, then threw things into our chicken shed, and then went into their house again."

He shrank into Gao's arms in fear: "Mom, I really saw it. There were three holes in the ghost's eyes, and its mouth was full of blood! I'm not talking nonsense! If you don't believe me, ask Chun'er, she must have looked at it too Got it!"

Although Mo Jingchun didn't see the ghost return to Zhou's house, he did see that face clearly, which was very scary.

She nodded fearfully: "Grandma, what my uncle said is true."

After Gao had lived so long, this was the first time she heard about a ghost, so of course she was scared.

But judging from Zhou's panic expression just now, she believed that someone was pretending to be a ghost.

"Don't scare me!" Mo Song heard something ghostly after listening for a long time. He was so frightened that he hid behind his mother, "I'm scared, mother!"

"Second son, second daughter-in-law, are you sure there is no movement?"

Zhou didn't dare to say anything and pinched Mo Yuanlin.

"Uh-" Mo Yuanlin cried out in pain, "Mom! We didn't see it! It's nothing. I guess the child didn't sleep well at night and had nightmares?"

With a sarcastic smile, he supported Mrs. Gao: "Mom, please go back to your room and rest for a while. We have nothing to do."

Mrs. Gao glanced at him and said nothing this time, letting him help her back.

"We haven't slept yet, how can we have nightmares!" Mo Qinglin said unconvinced when he saw Mr. Gao letting him help him back to the room.

In the yard, after Mr. Gao left.

Zhou glared hard at Mo Qinglin and Mo Jingchun, who looked back indifferently.

Zhou was stunned, and for the first time, she took Mo Jingchun's hand and turned her anger into joy:
"Chun'er, my second aunt went to town to cut some pieces of cloth a few days ago and left a piece of cloth for you. Second aunt will help you measure it so that you can make clothes then."
