It was definitely not an illusion, and Hong Calyx didn't think much about it.
Yawning, he asked casually: "Who is it?"
As soon as he said this, the knocking on the door suddenly stopped.
This strange situation made Hong Cai suddenly stunned. Suddenly he came to his senses, this was at home, who would knock on the young master's door in the middle of the night? Even if a family member wants to find the young master, shouldn't they just knock on the door and call the young master at the same time?
You must know that it has been quite a while since Hong Cai vaguely heard the knock on the door. If the family members were looking for the young master, why did they keep knocking on the door without even making a sound?
Isn't it a family member knocking on the door? Who is knocking outside, or what is knocking outside?
Hong'e's face suddenly turned pale when she thought of the ghost stories she had heard. I thought to myself, it can’t be, it can’t be...
Hongcai huddled up in fear and hid in the corner of the bed, not daring to think any more.
I raised my ears to listen carefully, but I felt the surroundings were peaceful. Just when Hong'e felt relieved and thought she heard wrongly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The clear knock on the door sounded again.
Hong'e was so frightened that she couldn't help but tremble all over, her eyes widened, she looked at the wooden door in horror, swallowed her throat, and asked tentatively in a low voice: "Who, who?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the knocking on the door suddenly stopped again.
The surroundings returned to tranquility, which not only did not calm Hong Calyx. Instead, it caused huge waves in her heart, and she felt as if there was a strange and inexplicable thing outside the wooden door, watching her through the wooden door.
Hong Cai hugged her knees with her hands in fear, huddled up helplessly, staring at the wooden door tightly, not daring to look away at all, praying in her heart that the knock on the door would not sound again.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
Not long after, the knock on the door sounded again.
Hongcai's whole body trembled again, and his face became even paler. After a long time, he raised his head amid the knocking on the door. He glanced at Han Du sleeping inside, thinking about all the things happening in the Han Mansion, and couldn't help but muster up some courage.
Hong'e was released as a maid by her family, which was a last resort. If the family had any means at all, no one would be willing to let their daughter work as a maid in another family. As a maid, she was inferior to others without saying anything, and she allowed her master to beat her and scold her.
Hong'e was mentally prepared before she came to be a maid, but she never expected that she would never be beaten or scolded when she came to the Han Mansion.
The master and his wife are kind to each other and have never beaten or scolded her. Mr. Han was also very kind to her. She only had to clean Mr. Han's room every day, and then she had nothing to do. Even the young master's washing and dressing are done by the young master himself, and she does not need to wait on him.
Although Hongcai has just arrived, she has become attached to this kind of life. Sometimes, she also hopes that days like this can continue like this forever.
Boom, boom, boom!
Just when Hong E was thinking about these days in Han Mansion, another knock on the door brought her back from her memories. However, after some memories just now, Hong Calyx's eyes suddenly showed a hint of determination.
He walked quietly to the door, and there was a knock on the door. Hong Calyx could feel the vibration of the wooden door even as she entered. The knock on the door was not an illusion.
Hongcai's whole body felt numb. She took a deep breath and slowly climbed up to the door bolt with her hands. Just when the knocking on the door kept ringing, he used both hands to open the door suddenly.
There was no one outside the door, only the darkness with shadows under the faint moonlight.
ah!
An octave-high sound echoed in Han Dufa's room, and Han Du was suddenly awakened.
Hongcai screamed, closed her eyes, and sat down on the ground. The two white and tender little hands were still flapping randomly towards the side, as if they were powerlessly driving something away.
Han Du found Hong E sitting on the ground screaming, and when he went to pull her up, she beat her several times.
"Hongcalyx, Hongcalyx, wake up. What's wrong with you?"
When Hong E heard Han Du's voice, she slowly calmed down and opened her eyes to see that it was really Han Du. He stood up immediately, threw himself into Han Du's arms, and hugged Han Du tightly.
"Sir, there are ghosts, there are ghosts. I'm afraid."
Han Du was a little overwhelmed by Hong Cai's hug. Although Hong'e is a little younger than Han Jingyun, only thirteen or fourteen years old, her chest has begun to take shape. Han Du was held so tightly by her, and he could clearly feel two firm points squeezing on his chest.
Han Du was not a young boy who had never tasted meat. He was at a loss for a moment.
Hong'e's trembling petite body pressed tightly against Han Du. As time passed, Han Du reacted naturally. Feeling that he couldn't hold her like this anymore, Han Du had no choice but to reach out and caress Hong Cai's back a few times.
He said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm here, don't be afraid."
Hong'e's fearful heart gradually calmed down under Han Du's comfort. When she realized that she was hugging the young master, she blushed and quickly let go of her hand, stepped back and stood next to Han Du.
Pointing to the door with trembling hands, "Sir, there really is a ghost. Just now, I clearly heard someone knocking on the door, but when I opened the door, there was no one there. What is it if it's not a ghost?"
Someone knocking on the door?
Han Du was sleeping so deeply that he didn't hear anything, but he believed that Hong E would not deceive him with lies. Han Du walked out the door and looked around, but found nothing. Then he stepped back and closed the door.
Han Du and Hong E just stood in the house, looking at the wooden door and waiting. After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear the knock on the door that Hong Cai said.
Han Du glanced at Hong Cai in confusion and was about to say something.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door with a strange rhythm.
When Hong'e heard this, she trembled all over and grabbed Han Du tightly with both hands. She looked at him with frightened eyes and did not dare to say anything.
Is there really a knock on the door?
Han Du was immediately surprised and did not act rashly. He frowned and listened carefully.
Boom, boom, boom!
The knocking on the door remained the same, with a strange rhythm and no intention of stopping.
After a long time, Han Du couldn't hear anything from the knock on the door. He stepped forward, grabbed the door bolt with both hands, and suddenly opened the wooden door.
There was dim moonlight outside the door, but there was still nothing.
"Master, Master?" Hong E followed Han Du, not daring to leave even a step, and asked timidly.
Han Du sniffed and saw that there was nothing outside the door and could not see anything, so he had to close the door with a bang again.
Seeing Hong Cai's pale face and inexplicable fear, Han Du smiled and said, "Go to sleep. Just ignore the knock on the door."
