Was there anyone outside?
At 22:45 pm, Xiaofang was still tossing and turning in bed, reminiscing about her life over the years.
She had just quit her job not long ago.
"What did I do wrong…Why is life torturing me like this?”The more Xiaofang thought about it, the more puzzled she became.
Xiaofang thought about it and realized that her career in the past five years had been so boring. It was " work, work, overtime, promotion, competition..." Such a boring life had been exchanged for these unhappy days.
Suddenly, her phone screen lit up. Xiaofang was still complaining,"What kind of trivial matter is this again?”
A warm reminder: " It will be raining for five consecutive days. Please take an umbrella when you go out."”
Tsk, it's the weather forecast again. The weather has been so bad recently, just like my current mood.
Sigh, what I need is rest. I need sleep. I need sleep more urgently than ever…In the blink of an eye, the exhausted Xiaofang had already closed her eyes.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. It felt dark and humid, probably because they lived on the first floor.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
"Strange, am I hallucinating? Who is it?"
However, a weak voice kept coming from outside the door." I beg you, open the door, save me, quick--" The voice was short and intermittent. Sometimes, it could be heard clearly, but when one listened carefully, it felt as if there was no one there. The faint voice seemed to want to drain one's blood dry.
At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the knocking on the door continued.
" Dududu…" This weak voice was mixed with the sound of the rain. Was this an illusion? Xiaofang kept doubting herself. Was she still in a dream?
Suddenly, a pair of hands knocked on his head. No, this was not an illusion, nor was it an auditory hallucination. Was there really someone outside the door?!
Suddenly, Xiaofang couldn't hold it in anymore. She got up and prepared to open the door.
"Then let me see who it is.”Xiaofang quickly got up from the bed and walked to the door.
Usually, no one would open the door. Most people would leave on their own. Alright, then I want to see your face clearly.
Xiaofang immediately moved closer to the peephole and scanned the outside of the peephole. However, after scanning the entire corridor outside the door, she did not see anyone at the stairway leading to the second floor.
"Where did he hide it?"
Suddenly, Xiaofang heard a couple discussing at the entrance of the corridor."The rain is really heavy today."
"Darling, you have to be careful to wear more clothes.”
"Hurry up and go home. It's too late today.”
Xiaofang listened to their conversation and hugged her body with both hands.
"Aiyo, I don't care, I don't care. It would be great if I had a boyfriend by my side at this time. I'm still so scared now.”
"Maybe people like to knock on the door on rainy days like this. Really, it's scary.”
Seeing that there was no one outside the door, Xiaofang turned around and went back to bed. She covered herself with the blanket and continued to sleep. She was still complaining in her mind, Sigh, maybe it's because I'm so unlucky that even the heavens are teasing me all the time.”
However, just as Xiaofang turned around to leave, the lights in the corridor went out. The woman stood weakly at the entrance of the stairs leading to the second floor. She was still looking at Xiaofang's door. Her long hair fluttered in the wind and covered her face, but her expression could not be seen clearly.
Xiaofang suddenly thought of something." No, I still have to report to the landlord tomorrow morning. Is the property manager not going to take care of it?" He just casually let some people into the neighborhood.”
"Every night, especially in the middle of the night, there would always be a strange person coming to our neighborhood and knocking on the door.”
"Hmm…the voice was very weak, but when I came closer to take a look, there was nothing. It was really strange.”
Xiaofang was discussing this topic with her neighbors.
An old woman heard him." What? Aiyo, that strange person appeared again?" Rainy day? It was the same time again. Why did it appear again?”
"It appeared again?" What was going on? Xiaofang was puzzled.
"Young lady, you still don't know about this. This happened three years ago. In this neighborhood, someone died in front of their house for no reason.”
" What?!" Suddenly, Xiaofang's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"At that time, the security of this neighborhood was not very good…"
"I heard that before that person died, there was a knock on the door. After he died, the knock was still there…It's really too strange.”
That night, Xiaofang slept even more restlessly. She had been worried, afraid that that person would knock on her door again. She kept looking at the door at night and did not dare to vent her anger. She was afraid that that person would really come looking for her again. What should she do?
"Sigh, you're really drenched again."
"Hey, Mr. Song, are you home so late?”
"Auntie Li, come out and throw the trash.”
"Yeah, the house is too full of trash, and I forgot to clean it up this morning.”
"Sigh, I've been working overtime every day for the past few days. Poor my obedient daughter. She was poisoned to death at such a young age. If I find the murderer, I'll definitely tear him into pieces.”
Who was that auntie talking to during the day? It was a man.
"Sigh, Mr. Song, you have to let it go too. Don't think too much about it. This case will be solved one day.”
"Auntie Li, it's not like you don't know, but it's been three years, three years, and there's no news at all. Why can't I erase the hatred in my heart? I really…" Mr. Song's voice choked up as he spoke.”
"Don't you know? Recently, this mysterious person had come to the neighborhood again. It was unknown if he was a human or a ghost. He was especially evil.”
"Alright, Auntie Li, stop fantasizing. I'd better go home and rest.”
After they finished their conversation in the corridor, there was no more sound.
Xiaofang heard their conversation clearly from the first floor. She could not help but shiver. Xiaofang put her hands together. Don't come looking for me. Don't come looking for me. I haven't lived enough. I'm young. I still have many things to do. I still have...
Xiaofang prayed silently at the door of her house.
Suddenly, it seemed like what was supposed to happen was coming. There was another knock on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock. It's short and continuous."
"Knock, knock, knock…"
When Xiaofang heard the story, she was so scared that she was trembling. She walked to the door slowly and looked through the peephole. Just like yesterday, she looked around from left to right. Suddenly, a human face came close to the peephole and looked into Xiaofang's eyes. They looked at each other. Their eyes were bloodshot…。。
