Chapter 10: Walking the Cemetery at Night
We all understand the mood of Le Gang and Aunt Kim, this meal is very depressing and in a hurry.
We didn't expect that Le Zonglei would come back that afternoon. Because of the heavy rain in the afternoon, the female paper man did not come back together, only Le Zonglei came back alone.
I also know that she is a paper person, no matter how big she is, she is also afraid of water. However, she wanted to have the identity of the yang world as soon as possible, so she hurriedly urged Le Zonglei to come back.
Le Zonglei is even more sunny and handsome than in the photo, and he has a face that smiles at any time. With a tall and straight body, he is worthy of being a policeman.
"There were a lot of guests in the house. This is Le Zonglei's first sentence.
"Zong Lei, come and greet your Uncle Yunjian. Le Gang was busy making an introduction.
Le Zonglei put his hands in his pockets, leaning against the door frame, with a disdainful tone on his lips.
"This is the magic stick who saved your life? Dad, didn't I say you, if there are really ghosts in this world, the ghosts of those dead, wouldn't it be good to take revenge yourself, why use the police?"
Le Zonglei is completely a gentleman, how can there be any shadow of a policeman?
"If you speak with respect, you yourself are in great trouble, and you dare to say my father. "I was so angry.
Le Zonglei looked me up and down with a grotesque expression. I now realize that he is nothing but handsome.
"Where did this little girl come from, she looks good, but her mouth is not good. "Le Zonglei provoked me.
Before he could fight back, Le Gang began to teach him a lesson.
"Shut up, look at you, you're 23 years old, and you haven't accomplished anything. Uncle Yun is your elder, how can you talk to Uncle Yun like this. ”
Seeing this, Aunt Jin hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Le Zonglei's arm, her eyes were full of doting on her son.
"Okay, Zong Lei finally came back, let's talk about it first. ”
Aunt Jin's words were more effective, and Le Zonglei's attitude softened.
"Dad, didn't you say that you agreed to my marriage with Ketong? I want to tell you that we don't need a grand wedding, and we don't need a house. We are living in a good place now and we will stay there in the future. You just need to give me the household registration book, and I will register with Ketong. ”
Le Zonglei said very easily, but Le Gang's face had already dropped.
Father stepped forward and said, "Zong Lei, I haven't come back for so long, sit with your parents, this is still your home after all." ”
Le Zonglei hesitated for a long time, but still walked into the living room and sat on the side of the sofa. is obviously a very sunny person, but he does cold things. If it weren't for the fact that he was fascinated by the paper figures, I would have wanted to go up and wake him up. There are such good parents who don't know how to cherish it, but they have been breaking their parents' hearts.
"You talk first, I'll go prepare dinner. Aunt Kim closed her mouth happily.
This is a mother's love, always wanting to give the best to her children. Where is my mother? She must have missed me like that.
I felt that the corners of my eyes were a little moist, and I was about to lower my head to get a tissue, but He Cong handed it over. I took the tissue and gave him a grateful look. He didn't say anything, but in his eyes, I saw a lot of things. Is it pity or sympathy? I can't tell.
Listening to Aunt Jin busy in the kitchen, I got up and went into the kitchen to help Aunt Jin pick vegetables.
"Look, these are all Zong Lei's favorite dishes. When he was a child, he loved to eat lobster the most, and sometimes he had a stomach upset and wanted to eat it. Aunt Kim said while washing the crayfish.
From her face, I saw a mother's love for her child.
I was thinking that if my mother was there, she would have cooked my favorite dish too.
After being busy for a while, the dish is not yet ready. There was a quarrel in the living room, and Aunt Jin and I hurriedly went out, and saw Le Zonglei going out angrily. Aunt Kim catches up. But he was shocked by the sound of the door closing.
On the sofa, Le Gang's face was red and his neck was thick, and he scolded vigorously, "Unfilial son." ”
's father persuaded Le Gang and told him that this was a sneaky trick, and Le Zonglei had already lost his mind, so he couldn't blame him at all.
Aunt Jin's eyes were red when she cried, "Zong Lei wasn't like this before, he really wasn't like this." ”
The father sighed: "In this case, we can't wait and take action immediately." ”
"Brother Yun, I'm just such a son, you have to save him, I'm here to apologize for him. Le just got up and was about to kneel.
The father hurriedly grabbed him, "Don't be polite, Zong Lei is a good boy, I won't watch him be killed." ”
Seeing that their father agreed, Le Gang and Aunt Jin were relieved, and sat on the sofa and sighed vigorously.
He Xiao pinched the cup and didn't speak, and his father asked him, "Can you see anything?"
"The female paper man hasn't touched him yet, and I see that he hasn't been damaged except for his mental confusion. He answered.
Father nodded: "That's easy, let's go to the cemetery tonight." ”
"Well, we have said so much, although Le Zonglei is angry and besieges the paper man, he is young and vigorous, and we finally used the agitation method, which should work for him. He Cong recalled what happened just now and said confidently.
"Why did you provoke him?" I was curious.
He Cong smiled and replied: "We said that Ketong was sneaky, but Le Zonglei didn't believe it. So we made a bet with him that we would let him get Ke Tong drunk tonight, and in the evening, we would knock three times on his door, and then let him come out and see where they lived. ”
"Do you want him to see himself living in a grave? And what about the true face of the paper woman? I asked.
As long as he sees his situation, he will naturally believe it. My father replied to me.
Le Gang seemed to remember something, and said to us: "Our family has been going east, which is the public recruitment forest, are you going there?"
Father shook his head: "If we don't go to the public fundraising forest, we will go to the old cemetery." ”
"The old cemetery? Now it's all public forests, let's talk about the old cemetery. On the western slope of the hill, there is one, but it has been deserted, a cemetery from a long time ago. Le Gang reminded us.
Father nodded: "That's over there, Narcissus gave me a message just now, and the female paper man was buried there." She is a servant maid on an old grave. Later, the cemetery was changed, and the owner of the grave was moved, leaving the paper figure there. ”
It turns out that this is the case, I really didn't expect that a paper figure can also transform into a human.
In the afternoon, my father played chess with Le Gang. He Cong said that he was going to go out for a walk, and I fell asleep in the bedroom. When I woke up, it was already dark, and He knocked on my door, and I saw him carrying a handy bag in his hand.
He looked like he had just come back from outside.
"Where have you been?" I asked him as I walked to the door.
He leaned against the door, looked at me, and raised the bag in his hand with a mysterious smile.
I fixed my eyes and saw that it was a fresh walnut in my hand! I like to eat green and fresh walnuts the most, but I don't like to eat dried walnuts.
"Where did you get that?" I couldn't hide my surprise.
"I went out to buy it, I stripped the kernels, and you can eat them straight. "He handed the bag to me.
I took the bag, which contained tender walnuts, and lay quietly. I couldn't wait to eat one, it was fresh and fragrant, and it still tasted like that.
"Thank you. "I thanked him while eating.
"If you like it, if you like. Let's come out to eat. He turned around and left.
My brain suddenly stopped, how did he know that I like to eat fresh walnuts? Who is he, and what does it have to do with my Mo family?
"Lixin has eaten. "My father was calling me outside.
I didn't have time to think, so I hurried out of the bedroom.
Aunt Kim's cooking skills are very good, and I eat a lot. But when I was leaving, I grabbed a handful of walnuts and put them in my pocket so I could take them out and eat them at any time.
The western slope is not far away, and we walked for half an hour before we saw a small desolate hillside. It used to be a cemetery, but later everyone built a cemetery, so it became desolate.
As soon as I entered the woods, I felt that the wind was cool, and it was the weather in August, and the temperature was still in the thirties, but it felt like late autumn here.
"Why don't you protect Lixin, I'm going to look around. Don't go around, wait for me where you are. After my father finished speaking, he hurried forward, leaving me and He Cong behind.
I looked around, and there was a thick fog everywhere, and the scattered tombstones were extremely infiltrating.
"Did you see anything?" I asked him quietly.
"I'm used to what else can be in this kind of place. ”
He Cong's answer was very light, but I was terrified. I got used to it? Didn't that mean there were ghosts all around? Before I knew it, I grabbed He's arm.
"Don't get separated from me, Master Yun said, the seal in your body has been opened. This means that many of your knots will be opened, and you will gradually become psychic, so now you are the sojourn that the ghosts want. He whispered.
"What is a trick, what is a sojourn?" I was afraid to die.
"The trick is the joint between you and the spirit world, the so-called sojourn, it's a lot of ghosts, want to get on your body. Are you afraid?"
"You're going too far, deliberately making up stories to scare me. I let go of He Cong's arm.
At this moment, I felt the boundless coldness around me, and I grabbed He Cong's arm again. But I felt that this arm was different from what I had grasped before. In addition to the coldness and stiffness of my arms, my heart was cold, and I didn't dare to look up, but my heart was already panicked.
A cold wind blew in my ears, and I was so scared that I almost cried.
"Where, what, isn't it?" I didn't dare to look up, so I could only keep asking.
No one answered me, only a cold wind blew.
It's over, can I be psychic? What is this thing? I tried to let go of my hand, but I found that my hand was frozen and I couldn't hold it at all. This arm is like a thousand years of ice, and it has frozen my hand to the point of losing consciousness.
"Father, where are you?" I shouted, but there was no response.
The chill gradually dissipated over me, and I tried to calm myself, and when I mustered up the courage to look up, the scene was enough to make me faint.
A woman in red, with a bloody face, stood beside me. And I clung to her arm, its bloody eyes staring at me motionlessly, and the cold air was coming out of its mouth.
I just felt weak, and it became difficult to breathe, and I finally fell to the ground heavily. The moment I closed my eyes, I saw the female ghost's terrifying smile.
