"Dong dong dong!"
The crisp knock on the door was particularly harsh in the silent night, and Qiao Linxi quickly opened her eyes and became alert.
"Daughter-in-law? Fairy wife? Why are you living in someone else's house? I have a big three-bedroom courtyard there. How about we go home?"
"Fairy wife..."
This voice belongs to the crazy old man during the day. Did he find it here?
But what puzzled Qiao Linxi was that others didn't respond to such a huge motivation. Could it be that they couldn't hear it?
That's impossible. She lives very close to Qiao Linqin and Qiao Linhua. It makes no sense that she was woken up and they couldn't hear her.
"Daughter-in-law, open the door, I am your husband..."
"..."
The knocking on the door lasted for about an hour, and then suddenly there was no sound. During this period, Qiao Linxi kept clutching the quilt tightly, not daring to breathe out or look outside. My whole body was soaked due to the high tension.
The night returned to calm. Qiao Linxi was breathing heavily, and her clothes felt like they were fished out of the water. Fortunately, it was summer, and the air temperature was abnormally high due to drought, so Qiao Linxi didn't feel cold.
After people relax from a highly stressful mental state, they will feel that they have no strength. This is exactly the case for Qiao Linxi. She wanted to be alert to the crazy old man knocking on the door again, but after a while, Qiao Linxi felt so sleepy that she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
On the second day, all the children got up, but Qiao Linxi still kept grabbing the quilt and did not wake up.
These eighteen children need to eat as soon as they open their eyes, but the mainstay Qiao Linxi has not yet woken up. This makes the other children worried. They want to wake Qiao Linxi up, but they are worried that she will not get enough rest. But what if you don’t wake up? They would have to go hungry.
All the pimple soup last night was eaten, and there were only a few large ribs and a little soup in the pot.
"Sister Lin Xi hasn't woken up yet. Let's go wash up first and then come over and light a fire. When Sister Lin Xi wakes up, we can have soup."
Qiao Linxi never woke up. The children had all washed up, added water to the soup in the pot and boiled it again, but Qiao Linxi still didn't make any movement.
"It's strange. My sister used to get up the earliest. What's going on today?"
Qiao Linqin was also puzzled and said, "I'll go take a look."
Qiao Linqin came outside Qiao Linxi's house and knocked on the door, but there was no response. She called her several times, but Qiao Linxi still made no sound.
"Strange," Qiao Linqin tried to push the door, but couldn't push it. The door was bolted from the inside. Qiao Linqin looked through the crack in the door and saw that there was someone on the bed, but his head could not be seen. He was covered with a quilt.
"Why do you still have the problem of sleeping with your head covered with a quilt?" Qiao Linqin muttered and went back to the kitchen to find a knife.
This kind of door that is bolted from the inside looks very safe, but in fact it is not safe at all. As long as you have the intention to open the door bolt, you can use a dagger to open it. Door bolts only give people a sense of security.
"Sister Lin Xi is still asleep?" The other children were also puzzled. A few days ago, they were woken up by Qiao Linxi before dawn. Why did she sleep in instead today?
"No, I'll open the door and have a look." Qiao Linqin took the narrower knife and returned to the outside of Qiao Linxi's house. She inserted the knife through the crack of the door and moved it to one side against the door bolt. In a few strokes, the door was opened. .
After opening the door, Qiao Linqin forgot to put the knife, so she took it in her hand and walked towards the bed.
"Sister..."
Seeing that she shouted, Qiao Linxi still didn't respond. Qiao Linqin had no choice but to push her with her hand, but there was still no response.
"That's weird." Seeing that Qiao Linxi didn't respond, Qiao Linqin reached out and pulled away the quilt covering her head.
"Ouch……"
Qiao Linqin never expected that Qiao Linxi under the quilt would stare, which scared Qiao Linqin half to death.
"Sister, why don't you agree when I call you?"
Qiao Linqin was a little speechless. How could she be so childish after running away from home? It was scary to pretend to be asleep.
"Sister..." Qiao Linqin shook Qiao Linxi again: "Qiao Linxi... fairy sister..."
Qiao Linxi finally reacted. She slowly turned her head to look sideways. This stiff movement made Qiao Linqin a little funny.
He smiled and said, "Sister, are you having a stiff neck?"
The early morning sunlight shines in through the window and shines on the knife in Qiao Linqin's hand, refracting a dazzling beam of light onto Qiao Linxi's face.
Qiao Linxi seemed to have suddenly come back to her senses. She sat up in shock and screamed: "Don't kill me."
This move frightened Qiao Linqin again. Only then did she remember that she still had a knife in her hand. She put the knife down and then pushed Qiao Linxi: "Sister..."
"Ah...has it dawned? What time is it now?"
Qiao Linxi rubbed her swollen forehead. What was wrong with her? Why did she sleep until midnight?
"It's time, sister, are you having a nightmare?"
When Qiao Linqin asked, Qiao Linxi remembered the strange things last night and asked, "Did you have a good rest last night? Did you hear anything?"
Qiao Linqin shook her head: "No, we had a good rest. Sister, did you have a nightmare?"
Qiao Linqin and the others didn't hear anything. Could it be that they really had a nightmare?
"Maybe," Qiao Linxi yawned and looked at the surrounding furnishings before she woke up. I have traveled through time and still carry the system with me. I just started doing business with the system yesterday.
The first thing he does when he wakes up every day is to sign in and give thanks. Qiao Linxi sees that there are a lot of gratitude points in the system. The steamed buns produced by the system at noon and evening yesterday were not eaten. Adding the morning ones, there are twenty-four in total. That's enough. That's enough.
Qiao Linxi scratched her hair, looked at the thing the system gave her, and twitched the corner of her mouth. The system actually gave her a compass. Was it asking her to become a dancing master?
"Oh, the host is really ignorant. This compass is a good thing. It can identify the direction and sense some things that mortals can't see."
Qiao Linxi: Can you catch ghosts?
"This compass can lead you to the third courtyard."
Qiao Linxi: So, the third time you entered the yard, was it really in the cemetery?
The system went silent.
Qiao Linxi laughed. This broken system had just done some human things, but it was no longer human again. Let her go to the cemetery to find the yard, but "he" can figure it out. She is not possessed by Uncle Ying, and she can also catch ghosts with a compass.
"Sister..." Qiao Linqin was frightened again by Qiao Linxi's weird laughter, and felt confused. Is this sister her sister?
"Ah, you go out first, I've been squinting for a while, I'm so sleepy."
Qiao Linxi yawned and fell down, pulling the quilt over her head. It vividly interprets the way contemporary young people look when they get up. People are awake, but they just stay in bed and cannot get up.
"Sister, what should we have for breakfast?"
