Chapter 11: Midnight knock at the door (Part 2)

After thinking about it, I quickly move back a few steps. The “person” outside was still knocking on the door. When that person didn’t hear a response for more than ten minutes, he finally left.

I sigh in relief and sat down on the bed, thinking that I’m finally safe.

“Tock-tock-tock, tock-tock-tock”

However, I haven’t even breathed again when I heard another sound of knocking.

But this time, the knock was coming from the gla.s.s window. I turn my head and stared at the paper seal that grandmother had put earlier in the window.

“Xiao Xi, it’s grandmother.”

Suddenly, grandmother’s voice came from the gla.s.s window. When I heard her my nervousness immediately subsided.

In my estimation, everything must be all right now that’s why she came to tell me.

“Xiao Xi, help grandma to open the window,” Grandma said.

I got up from the bed and see a vague figure outside the window. But, when I look at it closely, I find it a little strange.

Because grandmother has a hunchback, so if she was standing near me we almost have the same height. And if it’s according to the height of the window, her head should be around in the middle of the window. But the head of that figure outside is clearly above the window above and she has no hunchback.

This shows that the person outside is tall, so it can’t be my grandmother.

After carefully a.n.a.lyzing, I hurriedly move back.

And I suddenly remember my grandmother’s word: “no matter who is it, do not reply”

“Xiao Xi, grandmother got injured, so come and help grandma.” That person outside the window clearly knows the close relations.h.i.+p between me and my grandma, so she deliberately takes grandma’s form to lie to me.

I pulled the quilt, then lie in bed. I close my eyes tightly to prevent seeing that person outside.

For the whole midnight, that person did not only transform to grandfather and grandmother but also transform to Hei Wa and his mom. Anyway, I think that person tried to imitate my family and our close friends.

As if that person desperately wants me to go outside. But, I keep remembering grandma’s words, so I find it tormenting and I just unconsciously fell asleep.
