Chapter 2: The Old Lady and the Blood Grapes
Looking at the female ghost's nails, I cried all of a sudden, not because I was going to die, but because I cried in fear, such an image of a female ghost, I was overwhelmed with fear. She is more terrifying than Sadako, and more permeable than Chu Renmei. The desire to survive struggled in my brain, and I reached out and grabbed the female ghost's hand, which was as cold as a block of ice, and I couldn't help but shiver.
My bracelet touched the female ghost's hand, and I saw only a puff of white smoke, and the female ghost screamed and withdrew her arm.
When the ghosts saw that the bride was injured, and then at the bracelet in my hand, they began to shrink back one by one.
These ghosts are afraid of my bracelet, I have a talisman, they don't dare to step forward, one by one unwilling to look at me, but they don't dare to step forward at all, I smoothly pushed the door open, and ran out, running far, far away in one breath, for fear that I can't get rid of them. But when I stopped, I found myself lost and in a completely unfamiliar place. I fumbled for the money in my pocket, and I lost it in a panic. Lose it, or I'll throw it away, maybe it's the paper.
The surrounding environment was cold and dim, and there was no earth dust, no sun, moon and stars, only a gloomy wind, constantly hovering around me.
I found a place to sit and looked at the strange place, I couldn't find my way back, and I didn't know where I was. At this moment, I felt extremely lonely, looking at the bracelet I was wearing, which was the only talisman. I've been wearing this bracelet for as long as I can remember, and it's a rare lightning strike jujube wood, which is a very powerful wood to ward off evil spirits. There is a person with a hideous face carved on it, and my father told me that this is Zhong Kui, the ghost hunting master. Wearing it will bless me from being harmed by evil spirits.
After sitting for a while and regaining some senses, I have to find my way back, I have to take the college entrance examination tomorrow, if I don't go back, then I'm afraid I will waste so many years of hard work.
I patted the dust off my body, tried to remember the way I came, and with a little memory, I followed the road to the east, I don't know if it was right or wrong, but it was better than sitting there and waiting to die.
The whole place was dim and dark, and I felt the same everywhere I went, and finally saw a bright light in front of me, and I was inexplicably excited to finally see people.
When I got closer, I found that it was a dilapidated house, and a white flag was placed outside the door, which said that tea was free for free. Finally finding a place to stay, I used to sit at the table next to me, there was no one around, I guess it was in the house.
"Bring me a bowl of tea. ”
Along the way, I was very thirsty, and drinking a cup of wine could not save the emergency, so I drank two bowls to quench my thirst.
An old woman came out of the house with a large white porcelain bowl in her hand, and I took a look at it, and it looked so ugly, as if she had made it herself out of clay. Now my throat was smoking, and I was in no mood to take care of the dishes, so I got up to take it, but the old lady paused.
"I see it's a living soul, little girl, why did you come here?" asked the old woman with a puzzled expression.
I don't understand the word "soul?" I looked up at the old woman, her hair was already snow-white, and her face was wrinkled, which were the marks of time. What is noticeable is that there is a black mark on her forehead and eyebrows, which looks like the shape of a date pit, which makes me feel weird.
"Mother-in-law, I don't know why I'm here, give me saliva to drink first, I'm really thirsty. As I spoke, I reached for the bowl.
The old woman refused to give it to me, put the bowl behind her, and looked at me with a solemn face.
"You can't drink this tea, and this is not the place you should be, so go home. ”
Listening to the old woman's words, my nose was sore, and I saw that tears were about to fall.
"I want to go home too, but I can't go back, I can't find the way I came, mother-in-law, can you tell me where the hell is here?"
The old woman looked at me, frowned, and said, "You're not lost, you've eaten something here." ”
"No, I didn't eat it. "I remember I took a bite of food and vomited it because it was so unpalatable, does that count?
The old woman shook her head: "No, you look like a living soul, but there is corpse qi on your body, so even if someone in the yang world wants to save you, they can't sense your magnetic field." It must have been eaten, or drank. ”
I finally understood, no wonder there was no day here, there was a gust of wind here, it turned out that this was the underworld!
The old woman looked at me and confirmed my thoughts, and I suddenly sat down in my chair, I was still young, and I died like this? Why did you bring me here? And said that I was from the Mo family? Let me be the chef, toast me? Yes, I drank, I drank that glass of wine.
Thinking of this, I cried helplessly, I couldn't go back, I couldn't go back.
The old woman sighed, trembling into the house, and after a while came out with a plate.
"It's a blessing that you met me, and I have a fate with you, so go back quickly after eating this. The old woman put the plate on the table.
I wiped my tears and saw a bunch of grapes inside, and the grapes were very ripe and had turned purple-red. But this bunch of grapes is different from the usual ones because it is so big, each grape is as big as a ping-pong ball, and it is the largest grape I have ever seen.
The old woman reached out and picked one and handed it to me.
"Eat, eat the corpse gas and it will be gone, so that the above can be connected to your magnetic field, I can see that there are masters around you, otherwise you will not have this hundreds of years of lightning strikes jujube wood." ”
I obediently took this grape, I don't know why, I am willing to believe the words of this old woman, I will not doubt at all, maybe this is fate.
I ate it too quickly and forgot to peel it, and when I took a bite, it was so sweet that it was the best grape I have ever tasted. But soon I was frightened by what I saw, and the grapes were bitten and came out with bright red juice, exactly like human blood.
I screamed, and was about to spit out the grapes when the old woman's stern voice rang out.
"Don't vomit, swallow it, eat it all. ”
Looking at the old woman's serious expression, my subsequent movements were interrupted by force, and I suddenly felt that she was like an old witch in a fairy tale, eating children's hearts. The good impression just now no longer exists, and I even wonder if I have fallen for her.
She watched me finish until she swallowed it all before waving her hand back to her kind face.
"Let's go, let's go......"
When she had said this, she turned back to the house with her plate, and the room, which had been so good, suddenly disappeared after a mist drifted by.
It happened so suddenly, so unexpectedly, I didn't have time to think about it, so I ran away, for fear that something would catch up with me again.
After eating this grape, my body felt much lighter, and I was very strong when I ran, and not long after I ran out, I saw a golden strip in front of me. In the dark earth, this road looks extremely solemn, as soon as my eyes are hot, I start to run along this road, I don't know how long I run, a dazzling light in front of me, I woke up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw my father, Yun Jian, staring at me with anxious eyes, indescribably haggard, with a tired look on his face. In my impression, my father was a neat and clean person, and it was the first time I saw him so embarrassed. When he saw me wake up, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he actually shed crystal tears.
I reached out to wipe away his tears, but I found that my body was very tired, and my whole body ached, like it had fallen apart.
The father hurriedly turned his head and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and when he turned around, only red eyes remained.
"Spirit, how are you feeling right now?"
My father's voice was a little hoarse.
I smiled and nodded: "I'm much better, don't worry, it's just a little tired." ”
The father breathed a sigh of relief and took the millet porridge next to him.
"Eat something, you've slept for five days and five nights, and you're hungry now. ”
"What? five days and five nights? What about my exams......" I couldn't believe it.
"As long as you're okay, don't think about anything else, take care of your body first. ”
I couldn't digest so many things at once, and it was as if I had slept for a while, but five days had passed. After so many years of hard study, I just fell asleep, and I couldn't accept it. But looking at my father's haggard face, I didn't say anything more, obediently finished eating rice porridge, and drank a large glass of water, and then I felt more comfortable.
My father peeled a dragon fruit for me, cut it neatly with a fruit knife, and brought it to my eyes. It's my usual favorite fruit, but looking at the red juice of the red heart dragon fruit, I almost threw up because I thought of that bloody grape.
"What's wrong? Still uncomfortable?" said my father, a little anxious.
"No, I see this stomach upset, because I just ate a grape in a dream, and it was full of blood, which is similar to this. I said, pointing to the dragon fruit.
My father looked nervous and incredulous.
"You ate blood grapes?"
His face was as gray as he was, and I was inexplicably afraid.
