121 restless night
However, when she slept until midnight, Gao Jingyi really heard the sound of the door being pushed in the yard, and the sound "squeaked" to wake up Gao Jingyi, and she immediately remembered Zeng Shuhua's words about the ghost coming home, and her heart immediately became nervous, and cold sweat immediately broke out on her back, and she leaned against Zeng Shuhua tightly, and she didn't dare to move.
"What, scared?" Zeng Shuhua, who had already woken up, also heard the sound and listened attentively, but she felt Gao Jingyi trembling slightly, knowing that she was also scared when she heard the sound.
"I didn't expect what you said to be really smart, Mom, turn on the lights quickly, I'm a little scared. Gao Jingyi didn't dare to open her eyes, for fear of seeing something she shouldn't see, so she shouted and turned on the light. Zeng Shuhua had no choice but to turn on the light, and the room immediately lit up, and Gao Jingyi dared to open her eyes. It was then that the sound of the door was gone, and then they heard a clear sound of footsteps, as if they were getting farther and farther away from them.
"Mom, it looks like someone is really walking outside. Gao Jingyi said as she listened to the footsteps.
"Who knows, it's going to be in the middle of the night, where is the person, don't worry, it will be quiet after a while, and you can sleep in peace." Zeng Shuhua heard that the ghost would leave after a while, and the rooster would crow in the middle of the night, so Zeng Shuhua quickly looked at her mobile phone, it was almost half past three, and the rooster was about to crow.
"Mom, why are you so sure that you will be quiet for a while?" Gao Jingyi still looked scared.
"Because the rooster crows in the middle of the night, and as soon as the rooster sleeps, all the things in the underworld will leave. Zeng Shuhua said seriously.
"Mom, I've seen a lot of ghost stories about you. Gao Jingyi finally relaxed a little and said with a smile.
"I don't have to look at it, I knew since I was a child, I saw the goddess do it many times when I was a child. ”
Zeng Shuhua is true, when she was a child, in the countryside, she often saw someone specially invite a goddess to practice, and the goddess usually practices between twelve and three and a half, and it is said that that time is the time when things in the underworld are the most infested.
"Oh, I don't remember, I seem to have seen it once at my second uncle's house when I was a child, but I forgot it after a long time. Gao Jingyi didn't remember those things either.
"Listen, our big rooster crows, and you can sleep quietly. Hearing the rooster crowing a few times, Zeng Shuhua was relieved to turn off the light and go to sleep.
But just as they were asleep, they heard a noise in the living room, this time as if it had hit a chair, and the chair was rubbing the floor. Gao Jingyi was awakened again and shook Zeng Shuhua gently.
"Mom, there's a voice again, like in the living room. ”
"Ah, why didn't I hear it, Jingyi, are you too nervous. Zeng Shuhua was shaken awake and listened attentively, but she didn't hear any sound.
"Really, it was just now, it sounded like it hit a chair. Gao Jingyi secretly thought, could it be that Gao Linguang really came back and hit the chair.
"Oh, I guess it's a cat, it often squats on a chair. Zeng Shuhua raised a gray cat in order to prevent rats, and it likes to stay on the chair in the living room at night and play with the chickens in the yard during the day.
"Oh, I thought it was...... Didn't you say that tonight's noise was all about Dad coming back?" Gao Jingyi was not afraid if she knew that it was a cat, but after such a toss, she was completely awake.
"Mom, I can't sleep, you turn on the light. Gao Jingyi had no choice but to sit up.
"Oh, I'm going to sleep, I can't sleep with the lights on, you just lie down and rest, the baby still has to sleep." Zeng Shuhua couldn't open her eyes, the fatigue of the past few days was relaxed at this moment, where could she not sleep. Gao Jingyi heard Zeng Shuhua say this, thinking that she hadn't closed her eyes for a few days, since she could sleep, let her sleep, thinking that Gao Jingyi slowly lay down again.
However, this night was destined to be restless, except in the living room, Gao Jingyi heard the rooster crow in the chicken coop again, and a cold wind was blowing outside the house.
"One sheep, two sheep, three sheep......" Gao Jingyi didn't dare to turn over, for fear of waking up Zeng Shuhua, and she couldn't sleep again, so she counted the sheep in her heart, but she didn't feel sleepy until she counted a thousand sheep. She had to touch her belly, but she didn't expect the little baby in her belly to seem to feel Gao Jingyi's depression and kicked her.
"Yo, can't you sleep too?" Gao Jingyi said softly, then turned over and forced herself to close her eyes and sleep again, I don't know how long it took for her to finally fall asleep.
"Jingyi, Jingyi, why are you still sleeping here, it's time to pick cucumbers. Gao Jingyi just fell asleep and dreamed again, this time it was Gao Qiujin who took her to a green countryside to pick cucumbers.
"But I'm so sleepy, why don't you go pick it, I'm going to sleep." ”
Gao Jingyi in the dream clearly remembered that she was going to sleep. Then Gao Qiujin picked a large basket of cucumbers and handed them to Gao Jingyi, Gao Jingyi was on her way home with cucumbers, and she accidentally stepped on a black snake, and the snake bit Gao Jingyi's leg, and she woke up again.
"Oops, you're waking up and it's a dream, sweating. Zeng Shuhua, who had already sat up, looked at Gao Jingyi's eyes rolling around, and she was sweating, she knew that she was dreaming, but she didn't dare to wake her up, so she waited for her to wake up by herself.
"Yo, it's finally dawn, and I think I've just fallen asleep, and I dreamed of being bitten by a snake. Last night was so hard. Gao Jingyi looked at the bright sky outside the window and said with emotion.
"If you want to sleep, you can sleep, it doesn't matter if it's bright or not, I don't even bother to get up so early, and I don't have to go to work today. Zeng Shuhua didn't mean to get up yet, and wanted to take advantage of this time to take a leave of absence to rest again.
"Oh, then I'll sleep again, I feel like I'm just asleep, why is it dawn. Gao Jingyi turned over awkwardly and fell asleep, Zeng Shuhua got out of bed lightly and went out, came to the yard, and saw that the vegetables in the yard were all frosted.
"Winter is really coming!" Zeng Shuhua sighed, when it was time for frost, a year would pass again, time was like this, mercilessly, and slipped away every day.
During that time, Gao Jingyi stayed in Dingnan to accompany Zeng Shuhua day by day, and in the first seven days of Gao Linguang, Zeng Shuhua invited the mourners to the house to do the ritual again, and once again surpassed Gao Linguang, which was completely sent away from his life.
"Mom, do you have to go over seven when you die?" Gao Jingyi asked seriously.
"Of course, just like when you are alive, it takes time to say goodbye, isn't it, to the underworld, this first seven is equivalent to the transitional stage of his farewell to the yang world, send it well, he can leave with peace of mind, and Sanqi will also burn paper money for him, so that he can live a good life in the underworld. Zeng Shuhua burned paper money in front of Gao Linguang's tablet.
