Chapter 184: The Ghost House
It is said that the monk can't run the temple if he runs, why has the temple been changed?
"Brother, are you not mistaken?, this is not the first household in the alley!" Xu Lingxue also wondered if I was in a hurry and read it wrong.
I saw it once in my sleepwalking, and I saw it again this morning, how could I be mistaken? I took the flashlight and wanted to follow the direction of the coffin shop and wanted to ask Boss Huang, but when I turned around, an old man's face suddenly appeared in the place where the flashlight shone!
The old man twisted his eyebrows and stretched out his thin hand to pull away my flashlight, "Young man, didn't your family teach you not to use a flashlight to shake people's faces?"
There was a strange smell on this old man.
"I'm sorry, uncle, we went out for a walk, got lost, and came here. Xu Lingxue lied casually, "Uncle, why are there white lanterns hanging at the door of this family's house, aren't they all red?"
I thought to myself, what is this nonsense talking about? The old man walked forward with his hands behind his back, "The red lantern beckons the joy, the white lantern beckons the spirit, this is all the same old reason." ”
Xu Lingxue planned to follow, but she also felt that something was wrong with this old man. But I'm afraid that this will be dangerous, so I plan to go to the coffin shop to ask Boss Huang first, and then I will talk about it, just because of my mistake, the old man is gone, and Xu Lingxue is under the white lantern, stretching out her hand to push the door. Frightened, I hurriedly ran over, "Wait, just go in like this?"
Xu Lingxue seemed to be unable to hear, and stretched out her hand to push the door. With this push, the door really opened. The door didn't even latch, like a door that we knew we were coming.
As soon as the door opened, a gust of wind blew, and the courtyard seemed unclean. There are two rows of white lanterns in this courtyard, and the faint candle flame makes this house look like a ghost house. The middle of the inner room behind the courtyard is arranged like a mourning hall, a dark coffin lies in the middle, and the brazier in front of the coffin is still burning paper, but there is no figure, only paper people and paper horses.
I shuddered, and reached out to Xu Lingxue and patted her on the shoulder, "Sister, something is wrong with this place, let's wait until I find someone first!"
Xu Lingxue didn't stop my words, she just moved forward, and I couldn't let her go in by herself, so I gritted my teeth and had to follow up. As soon as we entered the courtyard, the door closed with a bang!
I thought to myself, this time, it seems to have fallen out of the trap again. Xu Lingxue suddenly became excited, "Hey, what's wrong with me?"
"What about the old man?"
Xu Lingxue was stunned, "What old man, why are we here?"
Before I could speak, the ground on both sides of the courtyard began to squirm a little, as if there were countless earthworms turning over the soil. My heart is in my throat, and it looks like something is coming out of below!
Xu Lingxue held my hand, "It's okay, brother." I'm here. ”
At the base of the wall, there was a round rumbling thing that broke through the ground and came out, and it was impossible to see what it was in the light of the white lantern, but it looked like a human head by all means. I picked up a small rock on the ground and threw it at it, and it did, but nothing happened, and it didn't move when it came out of the dirt. After the first one came out, one after another, they all began to drill out, and this thing the size of a human head was drilled out of the ground except for this path.
Xu Lingxue watched it for a long time, kicked the nearest one with her foot, suddenly bent down and picked up the one, pulled it hard, took the thing in her hand, turned it upside down, and then slammed it to the ground, the thing the size of a human head cracked, and the red and white things splashed on the ground. My stomach suddenly turned upside down, and I almost didn't throw up.
Xu Lingxue helped me smooth my back and sneered, "Brother, are you doing this, this is not a human head." ”
Strange to say, the juice that spilled all over the ground didn't smell fishy at all.
"There are winter melons, watermelons, and pumpkins in the world, but this real pumpkin is rare. ”
"Isn't bamboo shoots just pumpkins?"
Xu Lingxue glanced at me, "You, you should read more books." Bamboo shoots are called pumpkins just to make up the numbers. The real pumpkin is this thing, which is said to have been transformed by the resentment of the dead, sunk into the soil, and has been fruited for a hundred years, becoming the thing that looks like this human head. It's not harmful, but having one of these things means it's not clean. What's more, there are so many of them, it's better to leave first. ”
To tell you the truth, from the moment I came in, I felt that the temperature here was lower than outside, and even if there were no ghosts, it was definitely not clean. Xu Lingxue and I plan to go out first and then think about it in the long run.
We retreated to the door and reached out to pull the door, but as soon as this hand reached out, the door seemed to be avoiding us, and then retreated!
"This is a bit of an evil door, isn't it?" I was afraid that it was my delusion, and when I reached out to touch it, the door that was obviously close in front of me retreated again.
Xu Lingxue and I didn't give up wanting to touch it again and again, but every time, we reached out to the door and retreated, and we retracted our hands and came back.
"It's really not good, let's jump over the wall, this wall is not high. ”
I saw that Xu Lingxue was hesitant and seemed to be thinking about something, I gritted my teeth, I jumped over and took a look first!
Before my feet landed on this pumpkin field, an old voice suddenly sounded in my ears, "Who?"
I was so frightened that I quickly looked around, but there was no one. When I looked at the coffin in the house there, there were actually two paper figures kneeling in front of the brazier, holding yellow paper in their hands, and they kept filling the brazier.
"I want to ask you, who are you?" I shouted.
I thought there would be an answer, but I didn't expect a sudden sound, and the coffin lid actually slipped down an inch!
This is to seduce me to check it out. Anyway, it's a dilemma now, just look at it! I don't believe it can still eat me?
Xu Lingxue and I approached the mourning hall little by little, and my eyes kept staring at the row of white lanterns. According to my experience over the years, if this is really a ghost, the candle must be green! Thankfully, it's just a normal candle now.
The coffin was in front of him, and the paper man kneeling in front of him to burn the paper also stopped.
"These two things aren't afraid to burn themselves?"
Xu Lingxue looked at me for a while, and said speechlessly, "Brother, I don't know if you're really bold or fake." It's all at this juncture, and I still have the heart to joke. ”
In fact, I also gave myself courage.
The coffin is in front of me, I asked Xu Lingxue to stay away from me, I'll go and see first, if there is anything abnormal, she can come to help in time.
If you don't get closer, you can't see what's inside. As I walked through it step by step, my heart was about to jump out. I gritted my teeth and looked inside with the coffin with one hand, and it was Wang Jing lying here!
Before I could shout, I suddenly felt someone blow on my neck!
"Do you want eyes, lad?"
This sentence frightened me to look back quickly, and it was the old lady carrying a bamboo basket again!
"Run!" I shouted at Xu Lingxue, hurry up and stay away from this old lady! I didn't expect Xu Lingxue to stand there motionless at this critical time!
The old lady walked towards me in no hurry, and I didn't go too far from Xu Lingxue. I picked up a pumpkin on the ground, "Don't come here, I'll smash you when you come, don't say that I don't respect the old and love the young!"
At this moment, the white lanterns in the courtyard began to glow green. I suddenly felt the pumpkin in my hand move! I swallowed my saliva and looked at this pumpkin.
This is the old man's head!
