I held my breath and raised my ears to listen carefully to what was going on outside the window.
After a while, I realized that I was sweating all over.
The footsteps outside the window are getting closer and closer, and I am almost certain that the person is almost at my window sill now.
However, what is strange is that the footsteps come closer from far away, and then slowly go away again.
It seemed like there was just one person walking through the corridor just now, without any intention.
Could it be Ru's sister-in-law?
If it's Ru's sister-in-law, then maybe she's just patrolling the night? In fact, I'm overthinking it.
Although the footsteps outside the window seemed a little far away from me, I still covered myself in the quilt and didn't dare to move at all.
This state lasted for about 5 minutes. Finally I couldn't hold it in anymore and he was suddenly opened.
A burst of fresh air hit my nose.
I was really getting bored under the covers.
The lights in my room were on, so it was pitch dark for 4 weeks.
After my eyes adjusted for a while, I was able to see the surrounding scenery a little more clearly.
At this moment, I suddenly noticed that a black shadow fell squarely on the wooden floor in front of my window.
Judging from the shadow's appearance, she seems to be a petite woman.
I suddenly sat up from the bed.
According to the direction of the shadow, the owner of the shadow should be standing in front of the window sill, and is inside my house at the moment.
"Who's standing where?"
There was a blur in front of the window sill, but I still wanted to trick him.
The shadow dodged for a moment, but it only moved in one direction, but it was still inside my house.
Is she Rusao?
It can never be hers, because she has no motive for doing it.
Could it be, it's the mother.
After excluding Rusao, the first person that popped into my mind was her.

It seems that after coming out of Shennongjia, every time my mother appears, she will never face me with her true face.
What compelling reason does she have to avoid even seeing her own son?
"Are you mom?" I asked timidly.
After I asked this question, the shadow moved obviously.
It's mother.
I felt a little excited.
Fortunately, my mother is still alive and can come and go freely to see me.
Sadly, in a family as big as the Zhou family, my mother and I are probably the only ones left now.
"Mom, what do you want to say to me? I will be quiet and silent so as not to disturb other people." I said to the direction of the shadow.
The appearance of my mother made me think that my aunt probably couldn't believe it either.

Otherwise, my mother could have come out to see me in Locked Dragon Well, and there would be no need to expend so much effort.
However, the shadow made no further movements and just lay quietly on the ground.
"Mom, do you know that I'm going to Mustang? I heard that I can find the ancient sacrificial rituals of the Kuafu people. In that case, I can completely cure your disease." I saw my mother didn't speak.
So tell me all the information yourself.
Hearing what I said, my mother's shadow moved on the ground, and it felt like it was heading in the direction of my bed.
My heart was lifted instantly, and I felt a little wary.
Because if that shadow on the ground is not my mother's shadow, then it is the shadow that is hiding me from the light, and I will be attacked if I don't pay attention.
Therefore, the fist in my hand was quietly clenched.
At this moment, a gust of wind came from nowhere and blew me so hard that I couldn't even open my eyes.
I could feel my quilt being moved by something, and then there was the sound of the window being opened.
not good!
pp
I felt nervous, and then I jumped up from the bed in a hurry. I didn't have time to put on my shoes, so I ran to the window sill with my bare feet.
However, there were only a few gourd bamboos outside the window sill swaying in the night wind, and nothing else.
That person just now was definitely not my mother.
Because he smells wrong.
Although I have had very little contact with my mother since I was a child, it is also because of the little contact time that the faint scent of mugwort on my mother's body left a more profound impression on me.
I remember once I asked my mother if the smell of moxa on her body was caused by long-term fumigation, but my mother said no. She said it was because the place where she grew up was relatively humid when she was a child, and she has been using acupuncture to remove it.
The medicinal properties of mugwort are injected into the bone marrow, and its fragrance comes from the bones.
However, the person who just passed by my bed had a very strange smell.
Or rather the smell.
It seems to smell a lot like body odor.
Moreover, the smell is somewhat familiar to me.
It is a very distant familiarity.
I must have smelled this smell somewhere, but it's definitely not recent.
What did he want to do when he came to my room at night?
I suddenly thought of the 8-point bronze brocade box inside.
Who had such good information? As soon as this 8-point bronze brocade box left Suolongjing, someone took the risk to snatch it.
And it seems that this person's kung fu is quite impressive.
I hurriedly threw myself on the bed and lifted off the white quilt.
However, to my surprise, the 8-cornered bronze brocade box was lying there perfectly without any damage.
This is strange. He didn't want to steal the bronze 8-point brocade box, so what was his purpose in coming to my room?
I got up from the bed, then walked to the door in the dark, trying to open it.
However, when I touched the lamp holder, I accidentally touched a hand.
"Ah." I couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted.
Who would have known that the hand on the light switch would cover my mouth in an instant: "Don't shout, it's me, I'm Chen Mo."
Chen Mo said and turned on the light.
I moaned and groaned, asking Chen Mo to release his hand covering my mouth.
"Chen Mo, what are you doing? You are quietly in my room. I was almost scared out of my mind by you." I said angrily.
"I got up to go to the bathroom and saw a strange shadow climbing in from your window sill, and then followed it quietly," Chen Mo said.
"Strange shadow? Chen Mo, can you see who it is?" I asked hurriedly.
"Zhou Cang, if I tell you, you may not believe it. That shadow looks a bit like Wang Zhishui." Chen Mo said.
"Water of Kings," I repeated in an exaggerated voice.
"I suspect that he has been hovering around us." Chen Mo said, "But it was too dark at night and the distance was far away, so I am not sure it is him."
Could it be that after Shennongjia came out, it was not my mother but Wang Zhishui who followed us and conveyed information to us. He took advantage of my feelings for my mother and then conveyed information to me as my mother, so that I could follow his instructions.
Are you willing to do something?
I finally understood why the smell emanating from the shadow man felt so familiar just now. When I was in Wawu Mountain, I had already noticed that there was a faint body odor on his body.
"Chen Mo, it's him, I'm sure," I said.
"Are you sure? Didn't you know who it was just now?" Chen Mo looked at me with doubtful eyes and said.
"I smelled him." I looked at Chen Mo and said firmly.
"Zhou Cang, what is his purpose in coming to your room?" Chen Mo said.
"The 8-point brocade box containing the astrolabe that my aunt gave me was not stolen, and he didn't leave any information behind, so I don't know what his purpose is for the time being." I said.
Suddenly, I thought of something.
The whole person quickly ran towards the big white bed.
!
I lifted up the entire quilt and shook it vigorously several times.
Sure enough, the small piece of paper accidentally obtained from the brocade box disappeared.
"Zhou Cang, what are you looking for? You have lost something, right?" Chen Mo asked.
"Well," I said with a grim look on my face, "Chen Mo, I may have lost a very important piece of information."
Because since my aunt would use such a subtle method to convey information to me, there must be a reason why she couldn't tell me on the spot.
Or there is another possibility. This note was secretly hidden by the mother in the brocade box, and not even the aunt knew about it.
"What information? Zhou Cang, did you discover anything?" Chen Mo asked.
"Chen Mo, I found a small note on the top of the brocade box, but before I had time to open it, I found Wang Zhishui."
"So, Wang Zhishui left and the note disappeared." Chen Mo said.
