Watching Lin Xing hang up the phone, his wife asked Lin Xing again who was calling.
Lin Xing said depressedly: "It's that prank call just now. After answering the call, I kept silent."
"We don't care about him."
"There are always a lot of boring and mischievous people in this world."
Lin Xing looked indifferent and didn't take it seriously, and then he got up to wash his face. It was getting late and it was time to go to bed.
By the way, I blocked that prank call, and finally no calls came in.
The night was getting dark.
The time on the wall clock slowly jumped to one o'clock in the morning.
In his sleep, Lin Xing vaguely heard strange noises at home. He managed to open his sleepy eyes, but after the lights were turned off, the dark bedroom was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.
He could only feel his wife lying on his side behind him.
tick tock...
Lin Xing finally heard it clearly.
"Where is the sound of water droplets coming from?"
Lin Xing was in a daze, his brain was still sleepy, and he hadn't fully woken up yet, so he began to reach out his hands on the wall beside the bed, groping around for a while.
But today's bedside switch can't be touched.
Hands have been groping in the dark.
hiss!
Finally, a cold touch irritated the skin, which made Lin Xing's chaotic mind wake up a lot.
He finally found the bedside switch.
With a click, the room was instantly lit up.
Lin Xing sat up from the bed, intending to listen carefully to where the sound of water droplets came from, but strangely, the sound of water droplets disappeared.
But when Lin Xing turned off the lights and lay down to sleep again, the sound of water droplets reached Lin Xing's ears again.
In the darkness, Lin Xing could distinguish that the sound of water droplets seemed to be coming from outside the bedroom.
Could it be that when I went to the toilet just now, I didn't turn on the tap
So Lin Xing went down to put on his slippers, went to the bathroom and turned off the faucet.
After such a toss, Lin Xing felt more sleepy, and he fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed when he returned to the bedroom.
The wife lay on her side and had been sleeping deeply.
He was not awakened by Lin Xing's actions.
I don't know how long he slept, but Lin Xing heard the sound of water dripping again when he was in a daze of sleep.
Click!
Lin Xing sat up again, and the bedroom was instantly bright. Looking at the time on his mobile phone, he had not fallen asleep for ten minutes.
"The sound of water dripping this time seems to come from the kitchen... Is it because the faucet of the sink is not tightened?"
After tossing back and forth several times, Lin Xing was so sleepy that he barely opened his sleepy eyes, yawned, and went back to the bedroom to sleep.
The wife in the bedroom was still in a deep sleep.
Lin Xing got up several times without waking her up.
"My wife sleeps really well today. Good night, my wife." Lin Xingxiao glanced at his sleeping wife with her back turned to him, turned off the light and lay down again to sleep.
In the bedroom with the lights off, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Time passed coldly in the gloom.
tick tock...
There was a sound of dripping water, but this time Lin Xing woke up immediately, this time the sound of water dripping was in his bedroom!
It came from next to his bedside!
"What!" Lin Xing sat up startled, and immediately touched the switch on the wall.
Incandescent lights instantly illuminated the entire bedroom.
Lin Xing saw a pool of water stains on the floor in front of the bed.
Lin Xing's face turned pale, but soon, he realized that he had made a false alarm: "It turns out that the sound of water dripping just now is the air conditioner leaking."
Above the water stains was the air conditioner that was running silently.
October in southern Guangdong is still very hot, so Lin Xing sleeps with the air conditioner on.
"The bathroom faucet is leaking again, the kitchen faucet is leaking again, and the air conditioner is leaking again. How about such unlucky luck? It just so happens that the harassing call also made the sound of water dripping."
Feeling the chill in the air in the middle of the night, Lin Xing simply picked up the remote control to turn off the air conditioner.
But just as he was about to turn off the air conditioner, Lin Xing, who was holding the remote control, suddenly looked in the direction of the bedroom door with some doubts.
He remembered that he closed the bedroom door before lying down to sleep
But now, the bedroom door was actually opened with a gap, and behind the gap was the living room, which was so dark that it couldn't be seen clearly.
"Did I remember wrongly?"
Lin Xing had no choice but to go down to the ground and put on his slippers, and went to the bathroom to get a mop to mop up the water stains on the floor. This time he made sure that he had locked the bedroom door before going back to sleep.
However, after Lin Xing lay down again this time, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He kept thinking about the sound of water dripping and the door of the bedroom being opened.
Lin Xing wanted to discuss it with his wife, but today's wife was sleeping deeply.
He never woke up.
In the dark bedroom, Lin Xing was tossing and turning, thinking about something on his mind but not sleepy, suddenly, tick!
There was another sound of water droplets in the bedroom!
Right in front of his bed!
Lin Xing was taken aback for a moment, no, the air conditioner has been turned off, so where is the leak coming from
tick!
This time it was the sound of water droplets again.
In the dark bedroom, Lin Xing carefully looked at the dark space in front of the bed, and vaguely saw a wet woman squatting beside his bed, looking straight at him.
"ah!!!"
Lin Xing was so frightened that his face turned pale and screamed, and he quickly turned on the light.
But there was no one by the bed, nothing.
"I… "
"Just now that was..."
Lin Xing was so frightened at this moment that he was still in shock, panting heavily, and his back was already covered in cold sweat.
"That woman... Is it my hallucination? Or am I having a nightmare and not waking up?"
Lin Xing felt his heart beating violently at this moment.
"No, it's not a dream...I, I..." Lin Xing suddenly opened his eyes wide in horror.
Just where the wet woman squatted just now, a large puddle of water was left on the floor.
"Wife! Wife! Wife!"
"Wake up, wife!"
Lin Xing desperately tried to wake his wife up, but fortunately, his wife who had been sleeping deeply was finally woken up by him.
Looking at his wife who was fine, Lin Xing let out a sigh of relief. Seeing that his wife hadn't woken up just now, he was almost scared to death.
I thought something happened to my wife.
The wife looked at her husband sleepily and puzzled: "What's wrong with my husband?"
"Honey, we can't stay in our house at night anymore. We'll change the place right now." Lin Xing immediately turned on all the lights in the house, and said anxiously with a pale and terrified face.
The wife was confused and asked her husband what happened? Have a nightmare
I slept well in the middle of the night, why did I move out suddenly
Lin Xing just urged him not to ask, and to listen to him quickly. He went to the bathroom to get some toiletries, told his wife to tidy up casually, and left immediately.
But when Lin Xing was picking up toothpaste, toothbrush, towel and other toiletries in the bathroom, there was a faint ringing of a mobile phone, coming from the direction of the bedroom.
It was Lin Xing's phone that rang!
"Don't take it!"
But it was still too late, his wife had already picked up the phone, Lin Xing hurriedly cut off the phone with a look of horror.
"Husband, what's the matter with you? It was my mother who called just now." The wife looked at Lin Xing puzzled.
"Your mother called you? Why did your mother call you late at night? What did she tell you?" Lin Xing asked nervously.
The wife frowned: "My mother has not spoken, only the sound of water dripping on the phone."
Lin Xing's face lost all color.
