"You'll know once you've visited Granny Wu," my mom seemed reluctant to talk more about it.
I lowered my gaze, nodded, and said, "I'll go see Granny Wu tomorrow."
Based on the address on the paper, Granny Wu's village was quite a distance from our home.
It was nearing evening now, and if I set out,
it would be dark halfway there.
At that moment, someone knocked on our rickety wooden door from the outside.
The incident with the pale-faced old lady knocking on our door last night had given me a psychological scar.
The sound of knocking sent shivers down my spine.
My mom's face turned stern as she asked coldly, "Who is it? Who's outside?"
The succession of events had made her somewhat jumpy.
"Aunt Lin, it's me, Xiao He, are you at home?" The voice of He Youfei came from outside.
He Youfei was our next-door neighbor, and we had attended the same elementary school.
He graduated from a technical school and seemed to work at a factory in town.
