Chapter 54 The spirit of a saint is a god, and the spirit of a wise person is a ghost
Collective hallucinations or collective conjecture are not uncommon, rare, and usually, if a person occasionally sees an extraordinary event, he or she can use hallucinations or psychological effects to prevaricate the past. But if two people encounter the same anomalous event twice, there must be a reasonable explanation.
If the explanation is not clear, it is necessary to classify it as an anomalous event.
Li Bei pricked up his ears, and looked happy as if he had encountered another big case.
It just so happened that He Buwu and the children were not there, and the good village at eight o'clock in the evening gradually quieted down, although there was a sound of fighting and laughter outside, but it was erratic, far and near. There is a faucet in the bathroom on the first floor that is not tightly sealed, and the sound of dripping water can be heard from time to time. A gust of wind blew, and the soaphorn and plane trees outside rustled.
"Meow ......"
Huaimi suddenly screamed out of place, suddenly loud and loud in the silent night.
"Mom. Li Bei jumped up in fright, took a few steps back, and saw the eyes of several people shooting at him at the same time, he smiled and pinched his nose embarrassedly, "The nose is a little allergic." ”
"Coward. Zheng Dao scolded with a smile, no, the style of painting has changed greatly, and it almost became a supernatural novel, so he had to take it back quickly, he turned on the ceiling fan and let the air convection.
"Squeak, squeak......" The ceiling fan that had been in disrepair struggled to shake its body and turn, and the quiet and eerie atmosphere was broken, and even Aunt Yu and Aunt Liu's spirits were lifted.
"People are scary, they can really scare people to death. Aunt Yu pulled Aunt Liu, "I'll say it first, if there is anything missing, you can add it." ”
...... Aunt Yu and Aunt Liu are neighbors, and the distance between the two families is no more than 100 meters. Because they are responsible for organizing the square dance, the two have a good relationship, Aunt Yu is responsible for leading the team, and Aunt Liu is responsible for the sound, and the two are the leaders and spiritual leaders of the Shanzhuang Square Dance Brigade.
On May 1, after dancing, at half past eight in the evening, Aunt Yu and Aunt Liu cleaned up everything and went home with the stereo. The two walked and chatted on the road, and they couldn't get enough of it.
From the dancing square to home, only more than 300 meters away, the two chatted about the rehearsal of the new dance tomorrow, but they were not happy, so they agreed to put down the stereo and go to practice again.
Can't go back to the previous square, the square has been occupied by other old people who enjoy the shade and play, and they can't be in the village, too disturbing the people, so they went out from the south gate of Shanshan Village, crossed the Gongnong Road, and came to the Yuanjing Community.
Yuanjing Community is an old community, not to mention more than 30 years of history, for Shimen, a young city with no history of more than 60 years to become the provincial capital for less than 50 years, the community of more than 30 years is definitely an old community.
As one of the key communities to be renovated in the three years of great changes, Envision Community was once listed as the first batch of key renovation projects. But for some reason, after only 7 of the 30 residential complexes were demolished, they stopped, and they stopped for five or six years.
The seven demolished residential buildings were isolated in a corner of the community, becoming a desolate place and overgrown with weeds. Later, other residents couldn't stand the swarms of rats and wild animals in the barren grass, so the municipal government came forward to clean it up and renovate it into a square.
It's just that because the square is too small and there are often stray dogs and cats gathering, it is still not regarded as a leisure place by many people. Later, it was discovered by Aunt Yu and Aunt Liu, regarded as a treasure, and immediately decided to use it as a base for them to practice dancing.
As staunch supporters and soul figures of square dancing, they have won and lost with countless people of all colors vying for their dancing territory, although on the whole there are more wins and fewer losses, but if they do not prepare a few reserve venues, maybe one day the square will be occupied by the basketball rollerblading whip, they will have nowhere to put their unrestrained old age life and the never-extinguishing soul dance.
After the barren land of the Envision Community became an alternative, they did not disclose it to the public, lest someone with ulterior motives take the lead.
As usual, they walked through the dilapidated iron railings of the Yuanjing Community to the barren land, without turning on the sound or lighting, for fear of disturbing the residents of the community, and with the help of the street lights outside, they began to practice.
After practicing dozens of times in one breath, I was relieved to confirm that the two had cooperated very tacitly. It's already past 10 p.m., the city is yawning, the cars are getting smaller, the lights are getting dim, and the surroundings are quieter.
"Go home, come back tomorrow, you can't get fat in one bite. Aunt Yu wiped her sweat and beckoned Aunt Liu to go back together. As soon as the two of them walked to the iron railing, before they could bend down, they suddenly heard a "squeak" sound not far away.
The iron railing was crumbling under the corrosion due to age, and one of the iron pillars opened as soon as it was pushed, and Aunt Yu and Aunt Liu were short in stature, just enough to pass through it.
The iron railing is more than two meters high, and the top is a pointed iron head, which is impossible for ordinary people to climb over from above, nor can they pass through the middle out of thin air.
Aunt Yu and Aunt Liu thought that they had been discovered by the residents of the community, stood still, raised their heads, and wanted to make it clear to each other with confidence, but they were stunned on the spot after just one glance.
A figure floated down from the third floor - the doors and windows of the abandoned buildings were demolished, and only an empty shell was left - far away, I couldn't see what it looked like, just a vague mess, wearing something like a robe, I couldn't see the legs and feet clearly, he (Aunt Yu and Aunt Liu subconsciously thought that the other party was a man) first floated out of the window on the third floor, and then floated to the ground, as if he had stepped on something, his feet slipped, and when he saw that he was about to fall, the figure became a flat lying position, "whoosh" Passed through the iron railing.
"The iron railing, you know, that is, the width of a child's arm, it is absolutely impossible for an adult to pass through, and Aunt Liu and I also broke one to squeeze through the middle......" Aunt Yu suddenly became excited, "That ghost just passed through the middle in the blink of an eye, and then disappeared." ”
"Are you sure you went through it from the middle and not from above?" Li Bei heard goosebumps on his scalp and goosebumps on his arm, not because he was afraid, but what Aunt Yu and Aunt Liu saw and heard was too much in line with the folk legend about ghosts - like shadows, fluttering, without feet, and flying.
He doesn't believe in ghosts, but he doesn't believe in it, and when he hears such a real ghost story, and he is the closest to a ghost when he grows so big, he will have some fear and doubts under psychological hints.
"Impossible!" Aunt Yu blushed, showing extraordinary indignation at Li Bei's observation of questioning her, "The iron railing is more than two meters high, you are trying to turn over from above? ”
On the one hand, Aunt Yu didn't want what she saw to be really ghosts, and on the other hand, she didn't want others to doubt her observation and insight, and she was even more afraid that others would think she was lying. Such an ambivalent psychology is the most tangled psychological activity in Aunt Yu's life.
"What about the second time?" Zheng Dao didn't have any shocked expression, nor did he question or feel uneasy, his expression was as calm as the night outside the window, he nodded at Aunt Yu, "Tell me about the second time." ”
After the first fright, Aunt Yu and Aunt Liu didn't dare to go out again for several days, and they didn't even dance the square dance! After almost a week, the two felt that the matter had passed, but what they saw last time would not have any impact on their lives, and they even comforted themselves and hypnotized themselves, last time they were just dazzled, and what they saw was just a shadow shining by the light.
It is also the district that is about to hold a new square dance competition, as Aunt Yu and Aunt Liu, who are determined to become the flower of square dance in Shanzhuang and want to win the flower of square dance in the district, the temptation to practice dance is so great that they decided to go to the barren land to practice again.
This time, the two were fully prepared, not only brought a strong flashlight, but also chili water (Li Bei showed an expression of disbelief and mockery, even the aunt wore chili water to defend herself, how sad a man should be), and then the two cheered each other up, and began to practice majestically.
Until the two of them finished practicing, nothing happened, the two looked at each other, and under strong psychological hints, they both believed that what they saw last time was definitely an illusion, or a shadow like a projection.
However, no matter how comforting the two of them were, they didn't dare to go up to the third floor to check it out. After practicing, through the iron railing, the two stood on the sidewalk of the street outside the community, feeling that the mood was unprecedented and comfortable, the air was unprecedentedly fresh, and a boulder in their hearts fell to the ground, and they finally lived in peace, and they didn't have to worry about it in the future.
After only a few steps, the ghost sent the gods, and Aunt Yu couldn't help but look back again......
"I really regret taking a look at you in the crowd......" Aunt Yu is worthy of being the leader of square dancing, she smiled slightly shyly, "It's wrong, I should really regret looking back and taking a second look, oh mom, I'll see you for a long time, see you for the second time!"
In the process of Aunt Yu's narration, Aunt Liu basically did not interject and rarely added. At this time, she patted her chest, although the matter had passed, she still had palpitations: "At that time, I was so scared that Aunt Yu and I almost fell into a box." ”
He Ergou looked at Li Bei on the left and He Xiaoyu on the right, as a post-85 generation, he thought he was very young and promising and trendy, but he was extremely surprised and envious of Aunt Yu and Aunt Liu, the two post-60s generations, who were skillful in the use of Internet memes. He was not shocked or suspicious about their ghost experience, in his words, after walking at night for a long time, there were ghosts without ghosts.
"Still the same as last time, a figure came out of the window on the third floor, yes, it bubbled up, and fell to the ground slowly, without feet, unable to see the face clearly, like a black whirring shadow, just like that, it flew over the iron railing. Last time it was floating, this time it was wearing, do you think he can be a human?" Aunt Yu's chest rose and fell, her eyes were frightened and desperate, "My God, after he flew over, he waved his hand at me and Aunt Liu, and said a word......"
"What words?" Zheng Dao, He Xiaoyu, Li Bei and He Ergou said in unison, thinking that it was a silent black and white movie, but they didn't expect the style of painting to change and improve to color simultaneous sound, and several people were shocked.
"See you next time!"
