I followed her gaze and saw a shovel lying on the ground.
I picked up the shovel and asked, "Is this it?"
Grandma nodded.
I frowned and said, "How could this shovel have fallen down?"
Grandma swallowed hard and replied, "I... I don't know..."
"Maybe it was blown by the wind."
I looked up at the sky.
There wasn't a breeze at all tonight.
Grandma said, "Nana, you should go to sleep now."
I glanced at her and returned to my room.
For the next few nights, Grandma would scream.
Each time I asked her what was wrong, she always said something had fallen down.
Once it was the shovel, another time it was the clothes drying rack, and once it was the broom.
And every time I asked her why these things had fallen, she would say she didn't know.
Her complexion was getting worse, and her dark circles were becoming more pronounced.
The Calming Incense I bought for her had run out, but she still couldn't sleep well.
I asked her what was wrong, and she said the effects of the Calming Incense didn't seem as good as before.
I comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry, this is just temporary; it will get better after a while."
She nodded, looking a bit dazed.
That night, I heard Grandma's scream again.
I quickly got up and went outside.
Grandma was standing in the yard, trembling all over.
I hurried over to her and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong now?"
Grandma pointed at a kitchen knife on the ground. "It... it just flew over here..."
My pupils constricted.
Flew over here?
I scanned the yard.
The yard was pitch black, with nothing in sight.
Only my grandmother and I were there.
My grandmother's lips trembled, "Nana, I'm scared..."
I pressed my lips together, "Don't be afraid, Grandma."
"How about this? I won't sleep tonight; I'll keep you company."
Grandma hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
I helped her into the room, picked up the kitchen knife, and put it away in the kitchen.
Then, I returned to my room and took out Chen Feng's phone.
In recent days, Grandma had been watching me closely.
She knew about the new girl her son brought home; she wanted me to have a big baby boy.
Next door, Grandma Liu had a woman who was said to want to escape. Grandma Liu locked her in a room with an iron chain, claiming she was due to give birth in three months.
Grandma was afraid I might want to run away too, but she thought my personality wouldn't lead me to do that, so for now, she didn't lock me up and secretly checked on me every night.
That night, Grandma heard some noise coming from my room.
She quietly approached and saw me sitting upright on the bed, my long hair covering my face, completely still.
Suddenly, I began to turn my head.
My body remained motionless, only my head was spinning.
Grandma's eyes widened in terror.
When she looked again, I was already lying on the bed, fast asleep, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.
Grandma rubbed her eyes and murmured to herself, "Could it be that I'm seeing things? Wasn't she supposed to have short hair?"
The next day, Grandma asked me, "Did you hear any strange noises last night?"
I shook my head and replied, "No, why?"
Grandma's face turned pale. "It's nothing."
She thought to herself: Could it really be that she was just imagining things?
That night, Grandma heard noises coming from my room again.
