I trade in both worlds

Seeing that she was frightened, Xu Ziqi comforted her in a gentle voice: "Maybe it's a relative's child. Don't think too much. You are scaring yourself. Why don't you go home tomorrow morning?"

Xu Ziqing was a little hesitant: "I'll see tomorrow, or I can come back during the day and go home to paint at night. Anyway, I can miss the morning and evening rush hours, and it only takes an hour to drive. I can go out later in the morning and go back earlier in the afternoon."

"Can you still hear me now?" Xu Ziqi saw that she was so scared that she started to cry. He probably wouldn't dare to sleep tonight. "How about asking Dad to pick you up now?"

Xu Ziqi listened carefully and heard no more sounds. He calmed down and said, "I didn't hear anything. I don't feel that scared anymore. There's no need to wake up my parents and worry them."

Seeing that her expression had eased a lot, Xu Ziqi began to criticize: "You just think too much. Have you watched any horror movies recently? You have such a rich imagination. Look at how scared you are."

She really didn't watch a horror movie today, but when she was watching videos in the afternoon, she accidentally saw a blogger talking about strange stories. She didn't feel it during the day, but at night, whenever she saw a dark place, she would involuntarily have wild associations. When she saw a cabinet, she would wonder if there was something hidden inside, and when she heard some noise, she would think there was something there.

Seeing Xu Ziqing's awkward smile, Xu Ziqi knew everything: "You are both a glutton and a glutton. This is what I mean by people like you."

Xu Ziqing was a little angry and was about to argue when he heard someone calling "Doctor Xu". He said consciously, "Your emergency room is here, go and take care of it."

Xu Ziqi saw the nurse at the door, nodded, stood up and walked out, and said worriedly: "If you are scared, call dad to pick you up, don't scare yourself, understand?"

"Got it." Xu Ziqing said and hung up the phone.

Xu Ziqing sat quietly and felt it for a while. Apart from the sound of crickets coming from the window, he could not hear any other sound. Maybe he was really overthinking. He looked at the time. It was almost 1 o'clock. Xu Ziqing decided to go to bed first and stop painting.

After lying down, I tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. I said that I was not that scared, but I was still a little nervous. I simply picked up my phone to read a novel, and went to sleep when I felt sleepy.

Looking at the surveillance footage described in the novel, Xu Ziqing remembered that except for the bedroom, there were cameras installed in other places in the house. He suddenly wanted to turn on the surveillance to have a look, but he was afraid that he would see something and be scared to death. After half an hour of hesitation, he finally opened the surveillance app.

Xu Ziqing first went from the corridor on the second floor to the terrace, then to the living room, kitchen, and yard on the first floor, but didn't see anything. He thought he was just overthinking and was a little disappointed.

Finally, she turned on the camera in the utility room with an attitude of coping, and saw a person sleeping on the floor at a glance. She was so scared that she dropped her phone on the floor with a "bang". She was so panicked that she dared not breathe and covered her mouth tightly with both hands, for fear that any sound would attract the attention of those things.

After waiting for a while, Xu Ziqing tried to pick up the phone with trembling hands. He tried several times but failed. So he had to give up, leaned against the head of the bed, took a deep breath, and relaxed for a long time. Only when he felt his hands were not shaking so much did he pick up the phone.

He closed his eyes and mustered up the courage to continue watching. What he saw on the screen was an adult and several children sleeping. The camera's clarity was not high, and there was no light at night, so there was a patch of white in the pitch-black image. The picture was so beautiful that Xu Ziqing didn't dare to look at it seriously.

After Xu Ziqing took another deep breath, she exited the real-time video with trembling hands. She opened the stored video and checked it from the time she heard the sound.

Seeing several people appear out of nowhere, she thought she had really met a ghost and was shaking with fear. However, after hearing their conversation in the continuously playing video, Xu Ziqing gradually became confused and mustered up the courage to watch it carefully.

I saw that several people were wearing ancient costumes, and some of the boys had long hair. The more I listened, the more I felt that the problem was a bit serious. The development of the matter was becoming more and more mysterious. It seemed that they were not ghosts, but human beings.

After knowing that they were human, he was not so scared. Xu Ziqing looked forward again and saw Xu Xu holding something and appearing and disappearing from time to time. However, no matter they appeared or disappeared, they were always through the door frame of the utility room.

After watching the video stored tonight from beginning to end, Xu Ziqing can already confirm that they have traveled through time, from ancient times to modern times, and that they accidentally traveled here after being injured.

In an instant, Xu Ziqing felt refreshed, and all her fear disappeared without a trace. She decided to go talk to them, but not now. Looking at the pitch-black outside, she had already started to have a lot of thoughts. It would be better to wait until daybreak. By then, it would be easier to judge whether it was a human or a ghost.

As long as they were human, they could have a good chat. Maybe she could pass through the threshold and travel back to ancient times to have a look. Thinking about it, she felt so excited that she began to check the time frequently, waiting for the arrival of dawn.

Without fear, sleepiness began to come constantly. Xu Ziqing held on, afraid that she would oversleep in the morning and go straight back to ancient times after getting up. However, her heavy eyelids kept falling down, and when she could not bear it any longer, Xu Ziqing set the alarm for 6 o'clock, then closed her eyes, tilted her head and fell asleep.

When the alarm rang in the morning, Xu Ziqing reflexively turned off the alarm and went back to sleep. Half asleep, he remembered the video he watched last night. He was so shocked that he immediately sat up from the bed, hurriedly turned on the surveillance camera, and was relieved to see that they were still sleeping.

Xu Ziqing got up, changed his clothes, and washed up while watching the surveillance video, for fear that they would suddenly disappear and he would not be able to find them.

Before I finished washing up, I received a message from Xu Ziqi: "Did you sleep tonight?"

Xu Ziqing yawned: "Just woke up."

"When you say 'just got up', do you mean you just woke up? Or are you too scared to sleep and lay down all night, so you just got up?" Xu Ziqi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He was busy all night and also worried all night. Xu Ziqi thought that it was just her first time staying in the countryside alone at night, and she saw some messy things and scared herself. He was worried that she would be scared and unable to sleep at night, so he sent her a message as soon as he had some free time.

Xu Ziqing stared at the surveillance camera for fear that the person had escaped, and replied: "I woke up because of the alarm clock."

Seeing her reply, Xu Ziqi knew that she had recovered and couldn't help but teasing her, "You're so scared that you're crying, how can you still sleep?"

Xu Ziqing curled his lips and sent a picture of punching someone: "Humph."
