Chapter 157: Be Careful That The Wall Has Ears

While Zhou Shu was thinking, the man's cold eyes fell on them, and he said calmly: "I allow you to stay overnight because the old man in the family is kind-hearted. If he doesn't want to stay, he will pull him down."

"Of course I'm willing to stay. Thank you and the old man."

Zhou Shu quickly followed and stood at the door of this house with Su Baiyi.

The moment the man opened the door, the room was dark and nothing could be seen clearly.

Zhou Shu stared closely at the man's movements. The moment he turned on the light, Zhou Shu only saw that the room was very small, with a not too long corridor extending towards the living room.

The whole room was very damp, and half of the walls had signs of water seeping in.

On rainy days, the humidity in the house always makes people feel uncomfortable. Zhou Shu always feels a little uncomfortable for some reason.

The man took the two of them to deal with the dirt on their shoes at the door, and then led the two of them inside.

When I entered the living room, I realized that the house was very small. There was a small table, a swaying recliner, a cabinet and a simple kitchenette in the corner.

These nearly filled the entire room, let alone, after joining the three of them.

It seems particularly cramped.

After turning on the light, Zhou Shu also saw clearly the face of the person in front of him. He had a stern face and looked very unfriendly.

Judging from his age, he should be in his 60s. Su Baiyi was a little frightened and kept hiding behind Zhou Shu.

The man pointed towards the room in the corner: "That's the utility room with an old bed. It can only be stayed for one night!"

At this moment, an old woman walked out of another room and was stunned for a moment when she saw the two little girls: "These two are..."

The man was about to leave, but when he heard this, he immediately turned around and interrupted the old lady.

"Old woman, didn't you ask me to bring them back to stay overnight?"

The man looked at the old woman with fierce eyes, as if to warn her. The old woman obviously shrank for a moment and said no more.

She had a forced smile on her face and was very kind to Zhou and Shu: "Little girls, you guys have a good rest and wait until the rain stops tomorrow before leaving."

The old woman looked at the two of them with a strange look, as if she was hinting at something.

Looking like he was hesitating to speak, Zhou Shu frowned, feeling a little strange for no reason.

"Thank you for taking us in. It's too intrusive."

Zhou Shu paused for a moment, then asked again: "By the way, are you and this eldest brother the only ones living here?"

"Yes, just A Tao and I..."

The old lady answered subconsciously, but saw the man kicking the recliner with a loud noise.

"Why are you asking? If you want to stay, stop talking nonsense!"

After saying that, the man turned around and left, no longer talking to the two of them.

The old lady stared at the two of them without hesitating to speak, then turned around and followed the man named A Tao.

The two left, leaving only Zhou Shu and Su Baiyi in the living room.

Su Baiyi whispered in Zhou Shu's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Shu Shu, why do I feel so weird here?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm here. We'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Zhou Shu's eyes flashed slightly, and the uneasiness in his heart fermented at this moment.

She always felt strange. Although this house was normal everywhere, it just gave Zhou Shu an inexplicable feeling of weirdness.

Although she saw the two people leaving with her own eyes, Zhou Shu still felt that there was a line of sight staring at her nearby, maybe someone was quietly dormant in the darkness.

Zhou Shu calmed down and took Su Baiyi to the room.This room was just like the man said, it was a utility room with a lot of things piled up.

There were cardboard boxes and the like stuffed under the bed, as were the rest of the room.

However, this room was unexpectedly large, it seemed larger than the living room.

But probably because it hasn't been used for too long, everything is covered with dust, even the bed.

And without sheets and bedding, I couldn't sleep at all.

Su Baiyi frowned: "There is no place to start, how can there be such a place?"

Even in Su Baiyi's impression, the poorer farmhouses she had been to were not like this. Zhou Shu could not explain it to such a young lady.

"You wait for me here, I'll go find that grandma to get some things. I can't conserve my strength without a good rest."

Zhou Shu was about to open the door, but found that the old woman was standing at the door, her hand raised high as if she was about to knock on the door. She was holding many things in one hand, including a quilt.

"There's nothing in this utility room that you can't sleep on. I'll give you a quilt. The conditions here are difficult, so don't dislike it."

The old lady's voice was soft.

He walked in and helped them tidy up: "Take up a bed and sleep for one night."

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​coming to this place?"

The old lady mentioned it casually while cleaning up.

Su Baiyi also subconsciously replied: "Oh, we..."

However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw Zhou Shu shaking his head, which changed the topic: "We were lost, so we wanted to find a place to stay."

I don’t know if the old lady saw the interaction between the two, but she smiled and said, “It’s good for girls to be cautious when going out. It’s better to go back early when it gets bright tomorrow.”

The old lady opened her mouth, but she didn't say much and went out.

Zhou Shu looked at the door that was closed again, his expression blank for a moment.

She looked at Su Baiyi again: "Did you find anything wrong?"

Su Baiyi shook his head blankly: "What's wrong? The old lady is very nice, the uncle is very cruel, is there anything else?"

As expected, simple people like Su Baiyi are rare.

Zhou Shu sighed deeply, and under Su Baiyi's doubtful gaze, he whispered helplessly: "Didn't you find that the man named A Tao contradicted what the old man said?"

Su Baiyi's stupid and clear eyes told Zhou Shu that she really didn't hear it.

"Do you remember that the man said that it was because the old man at home was kind-hearted that he allowed us to stay? This shows that it was the old man's intention to let us stay. But after entering the door, why did the old man ask who these two were? Even though he was beaten by A Tao It’s broken, but you should have heard it.”

Su Baiyi suddenly realized what Zhou Shu said, and her eyes widened in shock.

His eyes were full of disbelief, and his mouth was so surprised that he could put an egg in it, and he said excitedly: "You mean..."

Zhou Shu quickly interrupted her: "Shh, be careful, the walls have ears."

Su Baiyi immediately covered her mouth, not daring to say a word.

Zhou Shu also sighed helplessly. If Su Baiyi had such a simple temper, all the bones in the Pei family would have been eaten back then, but who would have told him to reincarnate?

"Also, if this man really listens to the old lady, it means he is very filial, but look at his attitude towards the old lady."

No one who calls herself an old woman is very filial.

This is especially true for the younger generation towards their elders.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Zhou Shu had a strange feeling here, something very wrong.
