Ch 57: Haunted
The firewood was heavy, and Yao Lin only had the strength to carry one piece at a time. So she walked back and forth, moving them.
During the process, Yao Lin tiptoed, carefully, afraid of making noise and waking up the Du Family Members.
The Du Family Members were sleeping soundly, completely unaware of the approaching danger.
Du Qingyang was immersed in the sea of books, also completely unaware.
The Du Family Home at night was unusually quiet, so quiet that it was a bit eerie.
Yao Lin walked back and forth to the firewood room in the dark, not daring to use a flashlight. Was she not afraid of the dark? She was. But in order to achieve her goal, she was gritting her teeth and doing it.
But the firewood room was really too dark, and no matter how careful Yao Lin was, she still made some noise because she couldn’t see clearly.
Suddenly, a piece of firewood stacked on top fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Yao Lin was startled, her body froze, she held her breath, not daring to breathe loudly.
After a moment, Yao Lin looked towards the inner rooms of the Du Family Home and found no movement, no lights on in any of the rooms, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
“What was that sound?” Du Qingyang in the room heard it. The night was too quiet, and even the slightest sound could be heard clearly. Du Qingyang hadn’t rested yet, so naturally she heard it.
The sound seemed to be coming from the yard.
So, Du Qingyang left the room and walked towards the yard.
In order not to disturb the Du Family Members’ rest, Du Qingyang didn’t turn on the lights and also tiptoed while walking. Trying not to make a sound, not to disturb people’s peaceful dreams.
Yao Lin, still in the firewood room, observed for a while, found nothing unusual, and then started moving the firewood again.
The firewood room was in a corner of the yard. The closer Du Qingyang got to the yard, the more she felt something was wrong. Why did it feel like there was movement in the firewood room?
Were there thieves?
Du Qingyang immediately became vigilant, picked up the iron shovel from the corner of the door, and prepared to rush out.
Just as she took two steps, Du Qingyang stopped again. Don’t be impulsive, if there really were thieves, she had to figure out their details first. How many people were there? Did they bring weapons?
How could she approach quietly without being discovered?
Dimension! That’s right, she was someone who had a dimension now!
Du Qingyang ‘s lips curled up, and holding the iron shovel in one hand and the flashlight in the other, she jumped into the dimension.
After entering the dimension, Du Qingyang could see everything happening outside, but the people outside couldn’t see her. Although, Du Qingyang needed to use a flashlight to see clearly. But, she still thought having a dimension was pretty good.
This was the first time Du Qingyang felt that the dimension was good.
Du Qingyang had just walked to the door of the firewood room when she saw Yao Lin coming out. She saw Yao Lin holding a piece of firewood in both hands, tiptoeing carefully towards the tractor.
Yao Lin? What was she doing sneaking in here in the middle of the night? Du Qingyang suddenly thought of something, frowned, and immediately looked towards the tractor.
She saw that several pieces of firewood had already been placed around the tractor. Yao Lin continued to busily move the firewood.
Du Qingyang ‘s heart tightened, and she immediately understood. Yao Lin was actually going to burn the tractor!
What was going on? This plot wasn’t in the original story.
At this time of night, lighting the firewood would burn the tractor. The diesel fuel inside the tractor would cause a secondary combustion, and the fire would spread to the firewood room. Before long, with dry firewood and a raging fire, the entire Du Family Home would be engulfed in flames.
Du Qingyang ‘s back felt cold, and she gasped several times. If she hadn’t discovered it early, wouldn’t she have become roasted pork?
In her previous life, Du Qingyang had seen burn patients when she was interning at the hospital. The skin was burned black, and the inhaled smoke had blackened the entire lungs. The treatment process required washing the lungs and doing skin grafts. The recovery process was long and painful, and the patient’s mind and body were severely traumatized.
If the burns were too severe, it was very likely that they couldn’t be saved, and they would die.
Du Qingyang clenched the iron shovel in her hand, almost throwing it out and killing Yao Lin.
Du Qingyang gritted her teeth, the veins on her forehead bulging, her eyes staring at Yao Lin were about to breathe fire. But she still reminded herself to be calm! She was a highly educated person, she couldn’t do illegal things.
Of course, there were many things outside the law that could be done.
◈◈◈
After a moment, Du Qingyang put down the iron shovel in her hand and smiled evilly.
Outside the dimension, Yao Lin carried the last piece of firewood and was already sweating profusely. Seeing that the inside and outside of the tractor were filled with firewood, she reached out and wiped the sweat from her face, smiling with satisfaction.
As long as she lit the fire, the Du Family Home’s tractor would be reduced to ashes. This time, no one would be able to fix it for them again.
Yao Lin smiled and took out a matchbox, took out a match from the box, and prepared to light it.
Suddenly, a white shadow appeared out of nowhere, landing directly in front of Yao Lin.
Was this a person? Or a ghost? Yao Lin was shocked, and the match and box fell to the ground.
A white dress, long, messy black hair covering her face, stiff hands stretched out side by side.
Yao Lin was dumbfounded, so frightened that she petrified, too shocked to scream.
In the middle of the night, a ghost shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere, how could she not be afraid?
Yao Lin suddenly remembered that Du Qingyang had once said that their house was haunted! Could it be true?
Yao Lin suddenly felt a cold wind blowing, she wanted to shout, she wanted to run, but her body was stiff and couldn’t move! Could it be that she had been hit with a spell and had her acupoints sealed?
She was overthinking it, it was just that she was too nervous, and her body couldn’t recover for a moment.
She heard that if a living person held their breath, ghosts couldn’t see them?
Yao Lin quickly reached out and covered her mouth and nose, held her breath, and silently chanted in her heart: You can’t see me! You can’t see me!
Du Qingyang could see Yao Lin’s reaction clearly through the gaps in her hair.
Shouldn’t she be screaming and running away? Why was she covering her mouth and nose? This was abnormal. Could it be that she wasn’t doing a good job of pretending to be a ghost?
This was the first time Du Qingyang had pretended to be a ghost, she didn’t have any experience.
For a moment, Du Qingyang ‘s mind recalled various ghost scenes from TV dramas. She suddenly thought that she should move and shout. Otherwise, it really wouldn’t be like a ghost.
So, Du Qingyang stretched her hands straight forward, closed her feet, and hopped towards Yao Lin.
After jumping a few steps, Du Qingyang suddenly remembered that this stiff hopping was a characteristic of zombies, not ghosts. She was wearing a white dress, pretending to be a ghost, this wasn’t the right act.
Forget it, forget it, since she was wrong, she would just go with it.
Continue hopping.
Yao Lin was so frightened that her face was already pale and bloodless.
Didn’t they say that if you held your breath, ghosts couldn’t see people? She was clearly seen, and it was hopping towards her!
“Ah—”
“Ah—”
“Ghost ah—”
Suddenly, Yao Lin shouted out. The scream echoed above San Nan Village.
Soon, it woke up the Du Family Members and also woke up the nearby neighbors.
After shouting three times, Yao Lin’s legs and feet could move, and she quickly ran away.
Why was she running? Didn’t Yao Lin have a dimension? There was no way, she was too nervous and forgot that she had a dimension to hide in.
How could Du Qingyang let Yao Lin escape? She chased behind Yao Lin and strangled her neck with both hands.
