first marriage

Just like a ship lost in the sea saw the lighthouse pointing to it, Xu Wen let out a heavy breath, suddenly quickened his pace, rushed to the small door of his own house, and turned back subconsciously. As he expected, there was nothing but darkness behind him. Can't see anything.

He quickly took out the key, opened the door, stepped in, and quickly closed the door. The whole process took less than 30 seconds.

After entering the house, Xu Wen turned on the light, and in no hurry to go upstairs, he tiptoed back to the door, put his ears to his ears, and listened to the movement outside.

There was a faint rustling of footsteps.

Outside the window, suddenly there were crickets chirping louder and louder.

Xu Wen was frightened by the sudden sound of crickets, and hung himself high in one breath.

He held his breath and concentrated on carefully discerning the movement of the footsteps among the crickets...

One second, two seconds... 1 minute, 2 minutes...

Then, 10 minutes passed—

Xu Wen's entire back was drenched with sweat from tension, and the new shirt he had prepared for Zhong Aier's birthday party was sticky to his back, sticky and irritating.

Xu Wen kept bending over and leaning forward. At this time, his legs and feet were numb, and his waist was very stiff. He was about to move his steps and stretch his waist, when the deliberately soft footsteps outside the door came again. up.

This time... the sound of footsteps gradually drifted away.

Holding his breath, Xu Wen pushed aside the newspaper pasted on the wooden door to prevent wind leakage, and looked through the gap, only to be horrified to find that he happened to meet a pair of fierce eyes.

At that moment, the boy's heart was so frightened that it stopped beating!

His legs went limp and he collapsed on the ground.

Xu Wen saw: outside the door, the black shadow that had already gone away suddenly turned around!

It took a long time for the boy to take a heavy breath, he was just startled, he was actually not sure if those eyes saw him too!After all, he was hiding behind a crack in the door...

Thinking about it, Xu Wen gritted his teeth and looked out through the crack of the door again, but... this time, there was nothing but the night!

Xu Wen supported the door, got up from the ground, just stood firm, saw Xu's mother wearing cotton pajamas with large floral patterns, holding the stairs with a sleepy face, coming down from the attic, and seeing Xu Wen standing at the door stupidly, without a word. Cursing angrily, "If you come back later, I will lock the door! Let you sleep on the street!"

Seeing that Xu's mother was safe and well, Xu Wen finally felt relieved, but when he thought about his previous worries, Xu Wen felt aggrieved, "Didn't I say before I went out that I would be back later!"

Xu's mother glared at Xu Wen, "Take a summer vacation and let your heart go wild! It's midnight, hurry up and go to bed!"

After Xu's mother finished speaking, she yawned and turned around to go back upstairs to sleep.

Xu Wen hurriedly called her to stop, "Mom, I called you, why didn't you answer?" It made him worry half to death.

Xu Wen felt that his mother had the ability to provoke people!

Mother Xu turned around with a blank face, "Have you called?"

Xu Wen nodded affirmatively. Xu's mother thought for a while before explaining indifferently, "Maybe the phone is out of battery! Okay, okay, go to bed! I have to get up early tomorrow to make tofu!"

Xu Wen complained in his heart that Xu's mother only allowed the state officials to set fires, and did not allow the common people to light lamps. She had so many rules for him, but she didn't even answer a phone call, which made her worry in vain.Thinking of the footsteps just now, she tentatively asked Mother Xu, "Mom, no one has come to trouble us recently, right?"
