C24 (1/2)

That dream was truly too realistic. Yang Qianyun's body was trembling as she threw herself into the embrace of her husband, Old Third Fan. There was still not a single trace of warmth. The scene of the woman in red hanging on the beam echoed in her heart for a long time, unable to disperse.

Fan Lao San was more than half awake from his drunken stupor. He patted Yang Qianyun on the shoulder and softly consoled her, ”Qianyun, what happened? Did you have a nightmare?”

Yang Qianyun's body was trembling. Like a kitten, she nestled into Fan Lao San's embrace and said with a trembling voice, ”Third Brother …” I'm afraid... I dreamt that there were footsteps pacing up and down the hall, and then I got up to look … ”Then...” All he saw was a woman dressed in red hanging from the ceiling beam. She … She stretched out her tongue for a long time, then suddenly opened her eyes and smiled at me … And then I woke up with a start... Third Brother... Do you think anyone has died in this house? He doesn't want us to live in this house... ”Number three, I'm really scared …”

Qiuyun, it's just a nightmare, how can there be such evil things. Everyone says that you have thoughts during the day and dreams during the night, but during the day, our mother would say that you must have been thinking too much. Furthermore, you've been very tired recently, so you had this kind of dream. Fan Lao San consoled.

Yang Qianyun nodded. She also felt that her husband's words made some sense. At this moment, she no longer felt afraid. She snuggled into Old Fan's embrace and once again fell into a deep sleep.

However, not long after the sleeping Yang Qianyun closed her eyes, the sound of footsteps from the living room resounded in her ears once more. Tick, tap, tap …

Then, the woman in red appeared in her dreams once more. She was still hanging on the roof beam, her body swaying back and forth. Then, she opened her eyes and grinned maliciously at her.

In the morning, Fan Lao San had already finished washing up, but Yang Qianyun still hadn't gotten up. He was called out by Fan Lao San, and Fan Lao San also felt that it was a bit strange. In the past, it was his wife who had gotten up first and made breakfast, waiting for the whole family to come over to eat, but today was an exception.

Perhaps it was because she was too tired and hadn't slept well last night, Fan Lao San thought.

After getting out of bed, Yang Qianyun's face was pale. Her complexion looked terrible, and she looked as if she had aged quite a few years.

Even when he walked, he felt light and light, his body swaying back and forth.

Fan Xian felt that his wife was ill, so he advised her to stay at home and rest for a day while he went to the factory to ask for sick leave. But since Yang Qiuyun refused, she suddenly felt a little afraid of this old house.

When Yang Qianyun had finished washing up, he walked into the main hall and subconsciously looked towards the location where the red-clothed woman had hung on the house beam in his dream. With just a single glance, he couldn't help but scream in fear as his body went limp and fell onto the ground.

This scream frightened the whole family. At the same time, Fan Lao San and his mother-in-law ran to the main hall and saw Yang Qianyun fall to the ground, her entire body trembling as she began to sob.

Fan Lao San pulled Yang Qianyun up and asked with concern, ”Qianyun, what's wrong with you now?”
