Chapter 5: The Man Without a Shadow

Grandpa was holding a paper dress and pants, exactly like the groom in the photo. I chuckled in my heart, this thing was already unlucky, this size is clearly for me to wear, and I will inevitably think more and more about the photo just now.

Grandpa handed me the things in his hand, and I subconsciously took a step back and didn't dare to take it. God knows what will happen to me if I take it. Grandpa looked at me the same and just sighed. When he saw that I did not answer, he put it on the table and went back to the house himself. I, the third child, and Wang Jing didn't know what to say.

I sat down in a chair, staring blankly at the photos and papers on the table. Wang Jing lowered his head and kept knocking his fingers on the table, and he didn't speak. I thought for a long time, "Third child, why don't you let Wang Jing send you back." It's none of your business, and to be honest, I don't know what's going to happen tonight. ”

To be honest, I'm scared right now. I thought I was a lot of courage, after all, after so many strange things, but when it really came to the point where it might be about life and death, I couldn't help but be afraid.

The third child was stunned for a while, and slapped me on the shoulder: "What did my brother say, can I run first if you have something, I don't believe that there is any mess in this era." Don't worry, there's me. ”

I don't know what else to say, although the third person says that sometimes it's not serious, but he's a good person, if something happens to me tonight, I can't feel at ease.

Wang Jing, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up and spoke: "Don't worry, you'll be fine." As soon as he finished speaking, he went back to his room. It didn't take long to hear the sound of rummaging through the cabinets. The third child wanted to go and see, but I stopped him.

"Fourth, now I feel more and more that she does have a problem. The third nervously whispered in my ear. I patted him on the shoulder, glanced at the time, and before I knew it, it was afternoon, and we didn't feel hungry. I don't want to think about what she said about herself. Now I don't care anymore anyway.

"It's useless to think about anything else, why don't you go and bask in the sun together?" Instead of hanging around, it's better to stay at home. Even if I had to die, I didn't want to toss anything else.

We went to the courtyard and found two benches next to each other to lie down in the sun. Despite being in the sun for so long in the yard, this chair was surprisingly cold.

"Don't lie here, it's not for the living. ”

Suddenly there was a voice at the door, and the two of us quickly sat up, this voice is familiar, third uncle. It's just that he didn't lead his old scalper. I stared at him, and he stood at the door and didn't come in, just grinning at me, and I was furious when I saw it. Wang Jing said that ghosts do not appear during the day, so is he a human being or a ghost? If it is a ghost, why can we see it? If anyone can see a ghost, what is the use of yin and yang eyes?

The third uncle seemed to be a little jealous, and he didn't dare to come in, the third uncle and I sat up, and the three of us were in such a stalemate.

The surroundings are surprisingly quiet, not like the usual crops people should farm the land, and go out when they should go out, I feel very strange these days, not like the village I remember. I rarely hear birds, so I don't know if it's my delusion.

It was slowly getting dark, and the afternoon passed in such a confrontation between the three of them. The third uncle didn't say anything else, and we didn't dare to move. The sun is slowly going down, and the weather is starting to feel cooler.

"Let's go, let's go back to the house. "I stood up first and ignored the third uncle at the door. The third brother followed behind me and suddenly grabbed me: "Look at the door, the third uncle is gone." ”

When I looked back, there was nothing in the doorway. It's surprisingly quiet around. I just feel a little bit of a headache.

When I entered the house, there was a meal on the table that I didn't know when it was ready, and my grandfather sat at the table and looked at me and the third child, but I didn't see Wang Jing. In the yard I didn't hear the sound of the fire cooking.

I sat at the table with the third child, and I glanced at Wang Jing's room, the door tightly closed. I shouted, "Come out to eat." ”

There was no voice answering.

"It's okay, let's eat ours, just leave some for the senior sister. The third child grabbed the chopsticks and ate first. My grandfather and I were motionless, my grandfather stared at me, and I stared at the dishes and chopsticks. I don't want to eat, I always feel like something is wrong. The third child ate two bites and put down the chopsticks.

The hands of the clock on the wall moved little by little, and it was as if we were still in the room. After a long time, grandpa spoke: "Xiaoxiaozi, go change clothes." The time is almost up. ”

I can only say yes. My intuition tells me that all I can do now is do it, and maybe there is hope that there will be peace. The third child and I went into the house and closed the door to change clothes. Even if he said he was changing clothes, he just put those two pieces of paper on his body.

"Fourth, if I tell my brothers about this, can they think I'm mentally ill?"

I shook my head, "Don't say it, I think I'm mentally ill right now." "When we finished cleaning up and pushed the door, the hall was completely changed! If it was a lantern, the only difference was that the lanterns and candles were white! On the wall hung the picture I had seen, but it was much bigger. There were five people sitting at the table, the four I had seen before, and my grandfather.

I could hear my own distress. Cold sweat flowed down the third child's face. The four men turned to look at me, baring their teeth as if they were smiling. My hairs stood up when I saw it.

I looked around, the white candles lit up the room, and the lights were still not on. The flames flickered, and I suddenly glanced at the ground, and my heart seemed to be suddenly grabbed!

The third child also noticed my abnormality, and also looked at the ground and leaned close to my ear: "Old, fourth, did I count wrong, why are only the two of us shadows?"

What scares me the most. Although I knew that those four people were not human beings, and that there should be no shadow, then why didn't my grandfather have any shadows? Obviously, he was sitting there! My sweat dripped down my face on the ground, and suddenly someone tapped me on the left shoulder! The third child was obviously standing on my right side! I quickly turned around, Wang Jing didn't know when he was standing on my left, but when he came out of the house, there was no sound! There was not even a sound of opening the door. I quickly glanced at the ground, and luckily she had a shadow.

She looked at me who was slightly relieved, and laughed quietly: "It's okay, with me, don't be afraid." ”

Ignoring the two of us who were stunned, she walked over to them and poured them tea. They didn't look at her, they just looked at me. I don't know what I'm supposed to do now, so I can only be stunned with the third child. Grandpa also glanced at me, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Don't be stunned, let's go see the yard." ”

There are so many things I want to ask my grandfather, but now I can only do it obediently. I slowly moved to the window, and the miserable white lanterns in the courtyard illuminated the whole courtyard, which was a little eerie, and the benches in the courtyard were actually full of people.

The third child followed behind me: "Fourth, are they all... ”

We know what it is. Even if you can't accept it, you have to force yourself to accept it.

We didn't know what to do, and the clock on the wall suddenly pointed to twelve. One of the four leaders stood up and shouted, "The hour has come!"
