"No! Is there someone knocking on the door? Who is knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"
Xiao Mengyuan clearly heard the noise coming from somewhere, and looked puzzled, a little wary.
He stretched out his hand in a daze, pushed aside the thick floral quilt, got out of bed with most of his body naked, walked tiptoe to the bedroom door, carefully opened the bedroom door, looked around cautiously, and made sure it was safe.
, softly ran to the headlight switch in the living room and turned on the light.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Standing at the door of the living room, the sound became more and more obvious. It was the sound of the security door. It was obvious that someone was knocking on the door, which made him even more strange.
"Who will be there at night? Could it be a bad guy? I'm not afraid of bad guys either. Mom will lock the security door before leaving every day."
He muttered in his mind, thinking that his mother would lock the security door every time before leaving to ensure his safety, so he was not very worried about what would happen. After confirming that the kitchen was safe, he quickly ran to the switch of the headlight in the kitchen.
, turned on the light.
Not only that, Xiao Mengyuan also closed the door of her mother's bedroom. In an instant, the whole house became bright, and everywhere she looked was bright.
Because of his height, he quietly ran to the kitchen and prepared to move a chair out. He was particularly careful in the process for fear of making any noise. It cannot be denied that he was indeed too short and could not reach the security door by himself.
eyes, so you need to stand on a chair to see.
Gently placing the chair at the door, he slowly raised his feet and stepped on it softly. He held the back of the chair with both hands and moved very slowly, just to make no sound, for fear that people outside the door would hear what was going on in the house.
, so I deliberately created the illusion that no one was at home.
He pushed hard very carefully, stood on tiptoe with the other foot, and stood on the chair very lightly. He carefully closed one eye tightly and moved the other eye slowly to the door, not daring to take a breath.
"Is that you, Xiaomengyuan? I saw you! I am Grandma Wang from across the street."
"call!"
Xiao Mengyuan let out a long breath when he heard the sound, and then felt relieved. His tense muscles instantly relaxed, and his movements were no longer soft and sluggish, because he saw through the door that it was indeed Grandma Wang who was opposite.
"What's wrong, Grandma Wang, what's the matter with you?" Xiao Mengyuan looked at Grandma Wang in the corridor through the door and asked loudly.
"Is your mother at home? Grandma misses her!" Grandma Wang in the corridor said kindly.
"Mom is not at home, she has gone to work!" Xiao Mengyuan replied childishly.
"Then can you open the door for grandma? Grandma come in and sit down!"
"No, Grandma Wang! My mother locked the door before going out. I don't have the key. The security door at home can only be locked and unlocked with a key. If you don't believe me, look at it."
Xiao Mengyuan replied with some embarrassment. She immediately reached out to hold the door handle, broke it down, and pushed hard. The security door was indeed locked from behind. It was pushed back and could be heard clearly.
The sound of the door being stuck.
"Okay then..." Grandma Wang said a little disappointed.
"Goodbye grandma!"
Xiao Mengyuan said goodbye to her grandma loudly, and she stopped being cautious. With a bang, she jumped down from the chair, closed the wooden door behind the security door, and quickly moved the chair back to the kitchen, reaching for it.
Go turn off the lights and prepare to go back to the bedroom and go to sleep.
"Little Meng Yuan!"
A familiar voice came from behind. Xiao Mengyuan looked back and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Grandma Wang!"
Grandma Wang looks very kind. She wears a vest with little red flowers printed on it. She has gray hair, severe wrinkles on her forehead and at the corners of her eyes. Her big eyes are sunken deeply. When she smiles, her eyes are full of love.
, affable.
Every time Grandma Wang comes home to chat with her mother, she will bring him a lot of delicious food, which is very good to him!
I would also give him big red envelopes during holidays! Because my grandma’s relatives are out of town, she would come to her mom for help every time she had something to do. Over the years, the relationship between the two families has always been very good!
"Grandma misses you! Before I leave, come in and see you." Grandma Wang said with a loving look on her face.
"Grandma Wang, please stop standing and go into the living room to sit for a while," Xiao Mengyuan giggled, very polite.
"This child is really getting more and more sensible," Grandma Wang said with some relief.
Xiao Mengyuan turned around and led her grandma into the living room, but as she walked, she felt... something was weird, but she couldn't remember it for a moment, and she just felt like there was something... not quite right.
appearance.
Just as I was thinking about it, one foot had already entered the living room and the other was about to lift up.
"Grandma Wang is wrong! How did you get in? The door of the house is obviously locked from behind?" Xiao Mengyuan seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned her head to look at Grandma Wang, and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
I don't understand.
Grandma Wang looked at him with a kind face and did not answer. She just kept smiling. No matter who saw this smile, they would feel like the spring breeze blowing, very warm.
In an instant! Xiao Mengyuan woke up suddenly!
No! No! Absolutely wrong!
His eyes were wide open, and he stared blankly at Grandma Wang who was smiling at him. It was obviously a kind smile, but at this moment, in Xiao Mengyuan's eyes, it was so scary! However, everything was gone.
It's too late because the words have already been spoken.
At this time, Xiao Mengyuan has completely figured it out and knows exactly what is wrong!
When his mother left, he locked the door. When grandma knocked on the door just now, he also tried it. The door would never be opened. It is impossible for grandma Wang to have the key to the house. Even if she did! There should be a sound when opening the door.
Assume that Grandma Wang really has the key to the house, and opened the door very softly, and he did not hear it! But the sound of opening the lock cannot be very soft, there must be a loud friction sound!
Because the security door at home is a bit old, the door lock is a little rusty, and the reverse lock requires three turns of the key! Of course, the same is true for unlocking, so... even if he didn't hear the first sound! The second and third sounds
It's impossible not to hear it.
What's more, it's impossible for Grandma Wang to have the key to the house. What's more important is that Xiao Mengyuan doesn't have one either! The door was experimented just now and couldn't be opened at all, so in theory, no one can open it unless mother comes back.
door.
What's more important! When he turned around, he saw it! He saw that the wooden door behind Grandma Wang was closed! It was as if it had never been opened.
"The wooden door is closed, and the security door is locked! Then... how did Grandma Wang enter the house, and how did she appear behind me silently? Could it be that the Grandma Wang in front of me is not a human being?
?”
Thinking of this, his face turned pale instantly and his eyes were a little dull.
"Xiao Mengyuan, look what that is."
Grandma Wang still had a loving look on her face, looking at Xiao Mengyuan who was approaching with a frightened look, she slowly opened her mouth, raised her right hand which was covered with wrinkles, with burst blood vessels and yellow nails, and pointed at the living room behind him.
.
For some reason, these words seemed to have magic power. The confused voice echoed in his mind, and he only felt hazy. At this moment, Xiao Mengyuan had no fear or fear. Everything he had just thought of seemed to have been forgotten.
As if it had never happened, he unconsciously followed the direction of Grandma Wang's finger and turned his head.
Looking at the bright living room, the crystal-like coffee table with scattered items placed on it, the white linen sofa and green cushions, the living room was still the same as when he came out. There was no change or anything different.
Xiao Mengyuan turned around quickly, with a face full of curiosity. He didn't know what Grandma Wang wanted him to see. Just when he was about to open his mouth, he froze in place, because at this moment, his eyes were empty.
There is only one ginkgo-colored wooden door visible to the naked eye. It seems that it has never been opened from beginning to end, and Grandma Wang has disappeared long ago, as if she had never appeared.
"Where's Grandma Wang?"
Xiao Mengyuan was a little confused, "Grandma Wang was clearly standing here talking to me just now? Why did she disappear as soon as she turned around?"
Somehow, Xiao Mengyuan didn't seem so scared anymore, but she just couldn't believe what just happened.
After standing there blankly for a long time, he slowly walked forward, looked straight at the lock of the wooden door, then raised his hand and pulled it to the left, then pulled back and slowly pulled the wooden door open.
As the wooden door was opened, what came into view was a solid dark green security door. Xiao Mengyuan held the door handle with her hand and tried to push it open. The sound of the door lock hitting was still heard, and the door was locked from behind.
.
"Could it be... was everything just an illusion?"
Xiao Mengyuan said to herself in an unrealistic way, it felt like a dream, everything was an illusion!
He had no choice but to bear the pain in his heart and walked slowly to the kitchen, moved the chair to the anti-theft door, stood up again, and boldly looked through the door to the corridor. It was pitch black outside the door, and there was nothing.
, nothing can be seen.
Seeing that everything was normal, Xiao Mengyuan jumped down from the chair, closed the wooden door again, and moved the chair back to the kitchen.
"No! I have to check it carefully."
Although he was not very scared for some unknown reason, he still muttered to himself, feeling a little uneasy. He simply turned on all the lights in the house, no matter how big or small, and did not miss any one!
"The brighter the home, the safer it is," Xiao Mengyuan comforted herself.
After that, he did something that a person would find troublesome. He checked under the table, under the chair, under the bed, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, on the balcony, in the closet, under the sofa, and every corner of the house.
.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual at home, I felt relieved...
"Oh! Forget it, just die. I really don't dare to turn off the lights. What if... something appears when I turn off the lights? After I explain the situation to my mother tomorrow, I shouldn't be beaten, at most.
Got scolded."
Xiao Mengyuan looked around and saw that the whole house was bright and bright, and felt very at ease. However, this time, he really didn't want to turn off the lights, but when he thought of his mother's face, that furious look, he couldn't help but
Shivered.
After standing there and struggling for a long time, I finally made up my mind to drive it even if I risked my life!
Running all the way back to the bedroom, Xiao Mengyuan locked the bedroom door, hurriedly got into bed, and got into bed. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but start thinking about everything that had just happened.
"Is it an illusion? Then it shouldn't be real..."
"son!"
"Wake up, wake up, don't sleep!"
"Why are all the lights on at home? Do you know how expensive the electricity bill is if the lights are on all night?"
"Is the money I earn brought by the strong wind? You just make it for me like this? Get up for me."
Roaring words one after another, the mother's face was livid and her expression was extremely angry. She grabbed Xiao Mengyuan's arm and pulled him up without giving him a chance to react.
"Mom, are you back?"
Xiao Mengyuan was lifted up from the bed by her mother. She didn't even have time to rub her sleepy eyes. She was so lazy and confused! She said in a daze, and her words were not very clear.
"Mom, don't be angry. I seemed to have had a dream yesterday, but it didn't seem like it was a dream."
"I don't know anymore. I can't remember clearly. Just around 12 o'clock last night, I heard someone knocking on the door for a long time, knocking, knocking, knocking!"
"Then I got up and wanted to see who it was, but as soon as I walked to the kitchen, I saw Grandma Wang standing at the door, looking at me very lovingly."
"Grandma said she missed me and came over to see me. I wanted to lead her into the house, but as soon as I turned around, grandma disappeared. I was so scared that I turned on all the lights in the house."
"Grandma Wang? Which Grandma Wang?"
His mother's angry expression immediately frightened away, and she suddenly let go of her hand on his arm. Her expression was obviously not right, and she looked at Xiao Mengyuan and asked.
"That's Grandma Wang, the grandma across the street. She always comes to your house to chat with you and brings me a lot of delicious food!"
Xiao Mengyuan breathed a sigh of relief, still quite confused, and explained in a confused manner.
"Are you sure it's Grandma Wang from across the street?"
Mom's face was full of disbelief and she asked quickly, as if she had heard something impossible.
"Yes, Mom? What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Xiao Mengyuan asked with some confusion.
"Grandma really said she missed you? Did she say anything else?" Mom's tone was obviously anxious.
"I didn't say anything else. I can't remember it clearly. It seemed like it was just a dream. Grandma just said she was leaving and came to see me. She didn't seem to say anything else."
"Tsk!"
"It's broken, it's broken, we're in trouble now." Mom whispered, as if she thought of something bad, her face was slightly frightened, and her words were a little panicked.
"What's wrong, mom? Is there any problem?" Xiao Mengyuan calmed down a little and became more awake. Looking at her mother's face, she asked with some confusion.
"It's okay, it's okay. Don't think about it. You are just dreaming. How could Grandma Wang come into the house? The door is locked!" So you must be dreaming. You are under too much pressure from studying recently."
"Don't study today. Let's take a day off. You are allowed to watch TV in the morning!"
Mom looked at Xiao Mengyuan on the bed and said comfortingly, but her expression was very strange and she was obviously absent-minded.
"Really! That's great! Thank you, mom, hehe,"
Xiao Mengyuan looked up at her mother and said with an excited giggle. She couldn't be happier. She originally thought she would receive a beating from the sky, but in the end she had nothing to say and could still watch TV! It felt like the sun was coming out in the west. This
Is she still my mother?
"Stop being silly, get up quickly, brush your teeth and wash your face. Mom will make you breakfast."
"Okay, as ordered!" Xiao Mengyuan looked at her mother excitedly and replied with a happy face.
On the other side, in my mother's bedroom.
"Beep. Beep. Beep."
"Hey, Zhencai, can you hear me? Something happened at home...
