I practice the Tao by blind practice

Chapter 207
In the blink of an eye, it was already a few days later.

Late at night, Liuhua Hutong, inside Chen Hai's courtyard.

"Ah..." a scream.

Aunt Liu was pale and woke up from her sleep.

With a shudder, she rolled over from the bed and turned on the light on one side.

The bright light illuminated the bedroom as bright as day, but she was out of breath, and she was still in shock.

In the past two days, she didn't know what was going on, but she always felt a little restless.

When she was lying in bed at night, she always felt that something was pressing on her.

She seemed to be awake, and she could clearly feel everything happening, but she couldn't see, couldn't speak, and couldn't move her body either.

Facing this weird scene, she was like an outsider, and she couldn't do anything except her mind could function.

Just tonight, the feeling of powerlessness of being pressed by an unknown existence began when she lay on the bed and closed her eyes, and continued until now, and two or three hours have passed.

Until now, after the unknown existence seemed to have left and did not continue to press on her, she finally opened her eyes and screamed out.

"Old Fang, old Fang..."

After calling a few times tentatively, Aunt Liu slapped her forehead.

She suddenly remembered that her husband, Lao Fang, kept saying that there were snakes running around on the bed last night. He was so scared that he didn't sleep all night, and sat in the room with the light on all night.

After a busy day, Lao Fang, who still had lingering fears, said that he went to a fellow villager's house to play cards, but he didn't come back all night.

It's already past the ninth day of September, how can there be snakes running around in this season?
A big old man is so timid, Aunt Liu despised him severely.

Last night, when she was sleeping here, she didn't see any snakes at all. When she was sleepy, at most, she just felt that something was pressing on her body.

In the middle of the night, she took a kitchen knife and put it on the bedside, and nothing happened. She slept soundly and soundly.

"What's the matter today? Is the ghost pressing the bed again?"

"This damn place, why is it so evil these two days..."

After confirming that her husband, Lao Fang, did not come back tonight, Aunt Liu, who was still in shock, picked up the kitchen knife from the bedside.

She had a rough voice, cursed in her mouth, carried a kitchen knife, and walked around the room a few times.

After doing all this, Aunt Liu felt a lot more at ease.

But she who just woke up from the fright didn't feel much sleepy anymore.

Turning on the light, she sat down in front of the somewhat worn-out dresser not far from the bed.

Looking at herself in the mirror, with her messy hair like a chicken coop, Aunt Liu took a comb from one side and started to comb her hair.

"In the past two days, I haven't slept well. My complexion looks a lot worse. Even the crow's feet in the corners of my eyes are much more noticeable."

"Our old Fang, don't you dislike me a little?"

"She deliberately made an excuse not to go home. Did she go to the widow Wang in the same village?"

"Don't think I don't know, that widow Wang came to Kyoto half a year ago, and she works as a nanny for someone else in a family a few miles away!"

……

Looking at herself in the mirror, Aunt Liu unconsciously began to think wildly and muttered to herself.

But all of a sudden, she found herself in the mirror smiling strangely for no reason.

Immediately afterwards, her face in the mirror gradually became blurred.

Right under her nose, in the mirror, her eyes, ears, mouth and nose have disappeared, leaving only a blank face in front of her.

"what……"

Louder than before, Aunt Liu screamed again.

She was just wearing shorts and a small vest, and she didn't even have time to put on a coat, so she walked out of the room.

She ran out of the room, out of the yard, until she ran into the alley outside, and she finally recovered her breath.

In this season, there are no stars, only a crescent moon hanging above the sky.

In the alley outside the courtyard, there were no street lights, and under the radiance of the moonlight, the entire alley was hazy.

Only a few meters away from the gate of the yard, near the corner of the alley, a black figure squatted there, a little fire flickered at the corner of his mouth.

"Who..." Aunt Liu, who had just run out of the yard after being frightened, screamed again when she suddenly saw the black figure.

"Aunt Liu, what the hell are you talking about, it's me, Wu shoemaker!"

The man who was squatting by the wall and smoking a stuffy cigarette stood up. He was weak and responded to Aunt Liu angrily.

"Old Wu? In the middle of the night, you didn't sleep in the house, but went to squat in the alley outside the yard. What tricks are you doing?"

"People are scary, they want to scare people to death!"

"I have already picked up the brick. If you hadn't made a sound in time, my brick would have been smashed down!"

With a dissatisfied face, Aunt Liu muttered.

She likes to go to the ground every now and then, rolling and howling, and among women, she is a very tough one.

At this moment, she was screaming in shock, but she had picked up half a broken brick from the ground as she said.

After seeing that the person squatting by the wall was Lao Wu, a shoemaker who lived in the same yard as her, the broken brick in her hand had already been discarded by her.

"Aunt Liu, didn't you run into the alley outside the yard in a panic before you even had time to put on a coat?"

"You ask me what I'm doing? I also want to ask you, what are you doing?"

After looking Aunt Liu up and down, old Wu Shun responded.

"What's the matter? Old Wu, the house you live in is also very evil at night?" After being stunned for a while, Aunt Liu tentatively opened her mouth and asked.

"Hmm! Two days ago, when I was sleeping in a daze, I just saw a woman in a costume singing a big show in my bedroom."

"But tonight, not long after I fell asleep, I turned over and suddenly saw that woman in a costume, with a green face and fangs, lying beside me."

"I don't know what happened. At that time, my brain got hot, and I took out a hatchet from under the bed, and was about to chop off the head of the woman in the costume next to me."

"But who knows, the one I want to chop off is not the woman in the opera robe, but my wife."

"It's also fortunate that my wife didn't know what was dreaming, and she suddenly screamed and woke me up."

"Otherwise, my knife will really fall on my wife's head."

"Aunt Liu, tell me, in this situation, if I don't squat here, how dare I go to sleep at my own home?"

Old Wu kicked the half of the cigarette in his mouth hard and stomped it out. With a bitter face, he let out a long sigh.

"Ah...Old Wu, the situation over there is so serious..."

Aunt Liu was in shock. The situation she faced was relatively better than that of Old Wu.

"Yeah!" Old Wu nodded: "We don't know what's going on in this place, these two days, it's very evil."

"It's not just the two of us, the old man Li and Butcher Zhang's house are also like this."

"At night, strange things always happen, and some strange things are seen."

"I can't stay in this place anymore. Tomorrow, I will move out..."

Hearing what Old Wu said, Aunt Liu immediately became dissatisfied.

"Old Wu, if you do this, it's not authentic. Two days ago, when we were discussing how to deal with the new landlord, we agreed that we will advance and retreat together."

"As long as we are united, that kid surnamed Chen will compromise sooner or later."

"At that time, he will either agree to let us continue to live, or he will pay [-] yuan to each household and let us move out."

"You don't say anything now, just move away like this? Compensation or something, you definitely don't want to get a point."

"Don't you think that if you do it like this, you will go to grandma's house?"

After glaring at Old Wu, the shoemaker, Aunt Liu snorted coldly and complained.

"There's even a fart of compensation. The courtyard looks like this now. If we continue to live there, there might be no people left!"

"If you want to stay here, you and old man Li, just stay here."

"I just said that I will move out tomorrow, and I didn't ask you to move out with me!"

He took out another cigarette and lit it for himself, Old Wu yelled.

What happened tonight really scared him a little.

If it wasn't for his wife, who suddenly woke up and yelled, their family would be ruined if they didn't do it right!

"Ah..." While the two were talking, there were several screams in the yard.

Immediately afterwards, old man Li and his wife trotted out from the yard with panicked faces and hurried steps.

……

Near Kyoto University of Political Science and Law, inside a restaurant.

A few side dishes, a few bottles of wine, Chen Hai and Bai Xiaohang went east, chatting while drinking and eating.

"Boss, the things you explained to us are really amazing!"

"It's only been three days. In the morning, Dongzi and I were wandering around, and we saw that shoemaker surnamed Wu in your yard, dragging his family and his family, and preparing to move out of there!"

"When he saw Dongzi and me, the shoemaker Wu actually asked us, saying that your promise to subsidize their one month's rent as long as they move out, is it really worth it?"

"He just wanted to fart. Dongzi and I sprayed him in the face on the spot."

"Although he was a little disappointed when he heard that there was no subsidy to take, he was honest and moved out of that yard with his family in desperation."

……

After toasting Chen Hai with a glass of wine, Bai Xiaohang said with a smile.

After finishing what Chen Hai ordered them to do, these two days, he and Xiang Dong liked to hang around there when they had nothing to do.

Of course, their activity time is generally from daytime to dusk.

In the middle of the night, they didn't run there.

Otherwise, he and Xiang Dong would definitely be able to see more exciting shows.

"Three days have passed, and Wu shoemaker's family has moved away?"

"Aunt Liu, Butcher Zhang, and Old Man Li, what kind of reactions have they had in the past two days, have you noticed?"

After taking a bite of side dishes and putting them into his mouth, Chen Hai frowned slightly and asked.
