Chapter 4 Eight o'clock...five minutes
"We have to go to school tomorrow, so go early. I don't want to have breakfast with her."
Tang Micheng came out of the game hall.
Look down at your phone.
Half past seven.
The driver has been waiting in the parking lot opposite.
Then send him to the gate of the community. There should be no problem in entering the community at eight o'clock.
He walked forward, looking at the endless traffic in the driveway, and then looked to the side, and suddenly trembled.
There is an overpass on the road, no one is on it, and the white street lights are on.
This most ordinary scene in the past seemed to be shrouded in a shadow after Tang Jin said those words to him.
grass.
Tang Micheng cursed, thinking about what he cared about her, and took two steps toward the overpass. The invisible psychological pressure finally made him stop and take a detour.
The community where the Tang family's mansion is located has tight security, and it was already very late. The driver took Tang Micheng to the gate of the community.
Tang Micheng stepped on the skateboard and skated all the way to the Tang family mansion.
The skateboard under his feet seemed to be unable to bear his weight, and it made a squeaking sound from time to time.
There was no one on the road and the wind was blowing.
The wind blew away some of the clouds and fog that obscured the moon. As the moonlight fell, I felt even colder.
The sound of the wind was like someone's whimpering, causing the trees nearby to sway.
The lights of the security booth behind him were no longer visible, only the cold white moonlight and warm white street lights. As a person slid on the road, Tang Micheng felt a chill on his back and couldn't help but move faster.
It's all a lie, it's all a lie.
There are weird things in this world.
It’s all because of what Tang Jin said before going out!
All because of Tang Jin!
It would be better if she didn't come back.
If she hadn't come back...
"Huh-oh, kid, did you just come home?"
The sound was mixed in the wind.
Tang Micheng stumbled, his skateboard flew out from under his feet, and he almost fell down.
There was a sound of ‘dong——’.
The skateboard hit a street lamp post.
"Are you okay?"
The woman's voice was worried, getting closer and closer.
"I'm scared to death. It's dark. Can you please don't say anything suddenly over there?"
Tang Micheng steadied himself and rolled his eyes before he saw clearly the woman standing on the roadside.
She smiled, and the light fell on her face, which was all white.
It's a young, strange woman.
After seeing the person clearly, Tang Micheng's relaxed mood suddenly became tense again.
There are several ancestral houses in this community, and most of them are neighbors and know each other.
But he has never seen this woman.
"Sorry, I came back with my boyfriend to meet my parents. I was a little nervous and came out to get some air, and then I saw you."
Tang Micheng quietly glanced at the shadow at her feet again, and felt relieved, so he just said that he was thinking too much.
"Then please pay attention."
He said casually and raised his feet to pick up his skateboard.
The woman's shadow shrouded his head when he knelt down.
The phone fell out of the pocket.
"Kid, I have some candies I made here. I gave the leftovers to my boyfriend's younger generation. I'll give them to you as compensation for scaring you."
Candy? He likes sweet things the most, but his family is not willing to give him more food, so it is not impossible to accept it.
But he froze when he saw the shadow next to him clearly. Wasn't this woman standing under the streetlight just now?
Why was he standing next to me in the blink of an eye? Was she walking over too fast?
Hold the phone tightly in your hands, recognize the face, and the screen lights up.
Eight o'clock...five minutes.
-
Tang Micheng put back his cell phone, boldly stepped on the skateboard, stood up, and turned around to take another look at the woman's face.
She kept the same movement and handed him a few colorful candies.
but,
The smile is so fake.
It's like a smile that has been cut out of gray plaster.
He felt guilty inside, but he pretended to be calm on his face. The fat boy's face was full of disgust.
"No need, I'm not a little girl and I don't like sweets."
He gathered strength under his feet and kicked off instantly, and the skateboard flew out like an arrow.
The woman's last voice was terrifying.
"Lie, you obviously like sweets the most!"
grass!
What something!
Tang Micheng suppressed his voice and rushed home.
So evil?!
"What are you running for?"
The woman's voice follows him like a shadow.
The wind made Tang Micheng shiver, and it turned out that he was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
*
On the other side, in the living room of the Tang family mansion.
Tang Jin was sitting on the sofa holding hot sweet milk, with his little head tilted up, looking at the clock on the wall.
She sighed softly and took another sip of milk.
The warm and sweet smell made the little girl squint her eyes in comfort.
"Sure enough, children are more likely to be disobedient."
*
The woman seemed to be teasing him.
This road seems to have no end in sight.
Surrounded by unchanged streetlights and houses, it was silent as if there was no one around.
"Tang Micheng, don't you like sweets the most?"
The weird laughter was accompanied by the woman's voice, and her voice was also erratic, like a combination of howling wind.
The fast-moving skateboard under his feet suddenly stopped. Due to the inertia, Tang Micheng fell off the skateboard and rolled forward several times.
He didn't care how his forehead, knees and arms were bruised, he turned over and stood up and ran away.
"Help! Help!"
The smell of blood seemed to excite the unknown thing even more.
The wind howled more and more, and the night came to an end, but now it was clearly night.
He fell to the ground and moved back a little, with a look of horror on his face.
She was still the same woman with a fake smile, her face didn't change at all, she was in front of him in an instant, raised her hand, and reached towards his face——
