Husband's Secret
I placed the chopsticks upright in the empty bowl,
carefully held them and recited:
"If my husband is cheating on me, let the chopsticks stand."
As soon as I let go,
one chopstick fell, and the other stood firm.
At that moment, I didn't understand what it meant,
but later, I realized,
it was indicating that my husband indeed had issues,
just not in the way I thought.

Homemade Gun
At dusk, in the dense forest, I was holding a homemade shotgun while my cousin carried two quails.
In the distance, there was a lake. Under the dim sunset, through the leaves, a silhouette could be vaguely seen.
“Look, what's that?” my cousin pointed at the "person" and said.
“Probably night fishing, not moving at all.”
“Doesn't look like a person, it's a bit far, can't see clearly,” my cousin said.
I squinted my eyes and looked closely, indeed I couldn't be sure if it was a person.
My cousin urged, “Fire a shot to check.”
“Are you crazy?”
“It's really not a person, and besides, from this distance, you probably wouldn't hit it anyway.”
……
In the end, I fired that shot.
I was "confident" in my shooting skills.
With a "bang," the birds in the forest were startled and flocked away, and the figure by the lake seemed to fall respondingly.
I broke out in a cold sweat, couldn't come back to my senses for a long time, and my cousin was also dumbfounded.
For the first time in my life, I hoped my shooting wasn't that accurate.

The Battle Between Husband and Wife
Awoken in the middle of the night by knocking on the door outside.
I was so startled that I shivered.
"Honey, why is the door locked? Open up quickly!"
A familiar voice sounded from outside the door.
It turned out to be my husband!
I felt relieved and got ready to open the door.
Just as my hand touched the doorknob, I suddenly realized something was wrong.
My husband had just left on a business trip today; he said he would be away for a week.
It was absolutely impossible for the person outside to be him!
Then, who exactly is the person outside the door?
