Chapter 46: Midnight Ghost Knocks on the Door
Hearing his name called, Jiang Shuisheng also walked to the door in a few steps, opened the courtyard door, and saw a man and a woman standing at the door, about forty years old, with slightly wrinkled and chapped skin that was a reflection of often doing farm work.
"Uncle and Aunt Sun, who are you?"
"Shuisheng, you're really back, it's great, little orange is saved!" The middle-aged couple looked at Jiang Shuisheng with some excitement and said.
"Little oranges? What's wrong with her? â
"We don't know, just a few days ago she went out with the mountain baby to play and came back to start a little unconscious, and then we thought we saw the wolves in the mountains frightened, but these days have been feverish, still talking nonsense or something, Shuisheng, you go and see!" Aunt Sun was still shaking when she spoke, and it seemed that the little orange they said was very sick.
"Okay, Uncle Sun, Aunt Sun, you wait for me to get the medicine box!" As soon as Jiang Shuisheng heard this, he immediately turned around and went back to the house, and when he came out, he was carrying a white medicine box in his hand.
"Wait, Aquatic Life, let's go and see it too!" Meng Xiaomei glanced at me and Concubine Wu, which seemed unusual.
Shui Sheng thought about the unexpected incident that happened on the train, Meng Xiaomei seemed to have some abilities that he didn't know and agreed, "Okay, then let's go together, Mom, you are waiting at home for me to come back after seeing a doctor!" â
"Well, aquatic, you should be careful, too!" Jiang Mu reminded.
The sky was still clear outside, and the sun showed no signs of abating, so we followed behind Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun.
Uncle and Aunt Sun's home was a two-story house on the west side of the town, and they followed them up to a small room on the second floor, where a little girl, who was about ten years old, was lying on the bed, her eyes closed and her face flushed.
"Shuisheng, how are you going to see the little orange?" Aunt Sun looked anxious, and Uncle Sun also stood aside and sighed, "I don't know if it's a feng shui problem in this town, it was said that there were zombies before, and now the little orange is sick like this, hey, the old man in the town said that he was haunted by evil spirits, what do you say is this!" â
Jiang Shuisheng walked to the side of the bed, touched Xiao Juzi's forehead and then rolled his eyelids again, "It should be infected with wind and cold, although the high fever does not go away, I will be fine if I take a fever-reducing injection with her and take some anti-inflammatory medicine!" After Jiang Shuisheng finished speaking, he took out a box of medicine from the medicine box and handed it to Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun, "This is an anti-inflammatory medicine, just take two tablets a day." â
"I'll help Xiao Juzi get a fever shot right now."
"Well, I'll help you." Meng Xiaomei walked over and touched Xiao Juzi's hand, which was hot and hot.
"Yes, there are zombie zombies" Xiao Orange spit out these words with some slurred speech, and everyone's faces changed slightly when they heard it, why did Little Orange say such a thing, did she really see zombies?
Concubine Wu also approached Xiao Juzi's bedside, "Has she ever been to Li Gui Village?" I saw that the faint black aura on her body was the same as there. â
"What, Li Guicun?" Aunt Sun became even more panicked when she heard the name, and Uncle Sun's reaction was the same, although he was trying his best to calm down, his fingers were shaking.
Jiang Shuisheng also felt very strange, "Uncle Sun, Aunt Sun, what's wrong with Li Guicun?" All I remember is a small village near us! â
Uncle Sun sighed and said with a pale face: "Shuisheng, you don't know what happened in the town in the past few years since you left, in short, it is an ominous village, especially in the past two years, I heard that the village is isolated from the outside world and no one dares to go, and the wind is gusting in broad daylight, and the old people in the town say that the village is haunted and fierce, and we all call that village a strong *!" â
Li*? I once heard Dark mention it, she said that there is such a kind of ghost in the world, when he dies, the resentment is too heavy, and he is depressed in his heart, and all kinds of resentment he suffered before his death turns into the strongest hatred, and he uses hatred as the source of strength, and the hatred does not disappear, the spring water is continuous, and he cannot be reincarnated, especially those women in red clothes who commit suicide are the most likely to turn into ghosts, because their own resentment is strong, and even the yin sometimes has to take a detour when they see it.
"You say the little orange has been there*? So what should I do, if you provoke those lonely ghosts, you must not have anything to do with my little orange! Aunt Sun seemed to be more excited, she took a basket of eggs from downstairs and put them at the head of Xiao Juzi's bed, and then found some yellow paper talismans from nowhere and pasted them on the side of the bed frame, and shouted while sticking: "All kinds of ghosts, strange and strange, don't disturb the soul, go on the yin road!" â
I couldn't help but smile when I looked at Aunt Sun's serious and pious face, I really wanted to tell her that these things didn't work at all, at least not half of my ghost.
"These, these things?" Jiang Shuisheng felt a little inexplicable, he didn't believe in these superstitions very much.
"Oh, these are the rune papers given by a master invited outside a few days ago, during that time, someone didn't say that we were making a zombie and invited a master to take a look, the master said that our feng shui here is not good, it is best to move the town Everyone disagrees, after all, everyone has lived most of their lives here, although they are also afraid of zombies, but after all, no one has seen it with their own eyes, so they are unwilling to move away. Later, the master left some rune paper and some ink fountains and said that it could be prevented, and told us to buy more eggs, and if there were really zombies entering the town and throwing eggs, we could drive them away. â
"No wonder even Chishui County is grabbing eggs to buy!" Meng Xiaomei also thought of the two bags of eggs she was carrying, and couldn't help but smile.
After Jiang Shuisheng gave Xiao Juzi a fever-reducing injection, the situation seemed to be much better, and Xiao Juzi's face also eased.
touched Xiao Juzi's forehead, "Well, the fever should have basically subsided, Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun can rest assured, it must be okay to take the medicine on time these days!" Jiang Shuisheng packed up the medicine box and said.
"That's good, then thank you Shuisheng!" Uncle Sun's tired pale face finally soothed.
It's just that Aunt Sun seems to be still muttering something to herself, Concubine Wu walked to Aunt Sun's side and listened softly, and I also floated to Aunt Sun's side, and I heard her intermittently as if she was saying: "Don't come to look for little oranges when the ghost knocks on the door in the middle of the night"
"Midnight ghost knocking on the door?" Concubine Wu read it out, and when she heard Concubine Wu's voice, Aunt Sun herself was startled, and her expression seemed to be half-asleep and half-awake.
"Aunt Sun, what the hell is going on?" Jiang Shuisheng was also a little strange when he heard Concubine Wu's words, although the countryside generally believes in superstition, but as a doctor, he prefers to believe in science.
This time, even Uncle Sun was a little unclear, as if Aunt Sun knew something that Uncle Sun didn't know.
"Ghosts knock on the door in the middle of the night, usually they provoke something unclean or are lost by ghosts, these ghosts will come to knock on the door in the middle of the night, there is another saying, that is, ghosts knock on the door to hook the soul, if you hear a knock in the middle of the night, don't get up, let alone open the door, otherwise people's souls will be easily hooked." Meng Xiaomei's faint words inexplicably created an eerie atmosphere.
A gust of wind blew outside the window, and the curtains swayed with the wind.
Uncle Sun walked up to Aunt Sun, comfortingly stroked her back, and asked her what happened?
Aunt Sun looked around nervously, and made sure that there was nothing unclean before she said it: "In the middle of the night these days, when I went to the toilet, I passed by Little Orange's room, and I could always hear the sound of knocking on things in the room, I felt strange, so I opened the door and walked in to find that the strange sound disappeared again, but as soon as I left the door and listened, sure enough, the knocking sound sounded again, I was afraid that it was to provoke some evil ghosts, so I put these charms on the side of Little Orange's bed." â
"That means Aunt Sun, you can't be sure of the knocking sound, maybe there are other sounds that make you mistake a ghost knocking on the door, right?" Jiang Shuisheng tried to explain this matter with a scientific attitude.
"Why isn't it, you see that the little orange has been in a daze for the past few days, and the high fever does not go away, if it weren't for a ghost coming to her, she must be trying to seduce the soul of our little orange!" Aunt Sun was convinced of the ghost knocking on the door, not to mention that Concubine Wu also said that Xiao Juzi might have been to Li Gui Village, "It must be the evil ghost of Li * who ran out to pester Xiao Juzi, the child and his father, what do you say about this?" â
"Or we'll stay in Little Orange's room tonight, and I'll see how the ghost knocks at the door?" Meng Xiaomei glanced at me meaningfully when she said this, I shook my head, and it wasn't me who knocked on the door, and besides, I never needed to knock when I entered the room, just go through the wall.
"Well, that's what I thought, too, but staying here tonight will delay your trip." Jiang Shuisheng originally planned to stay here by himself.
"It doesn't matter, although we are also in a hurry to go back, but for the safety of the little orange, it is nothing to go back a day late." Concubine Wu counted the days, as long as she went back before July 14, and now there are still a few days to arrive.
"Thank you so much!" Uncle Sun looked at us gratefully.
The temperature difference between morning and evening in Qingkou Town is a bit big, and after everyone had dinner at Uncle Sun's house, they watched TV and chatted for the next day.
The life of the people in the town is to go to bed early and get up early, so usually they are already lying in bed at eight o'clock and ready to fall asleep, and the middle of the night that Aunt Sun said should be eleven or two o'clock.
The wind outside the window began to blow violently, and the sound of whirring wind was heard, and Jiang Shuisheng looked out from the window of the small orange room, and a crooked-necked branch rustled in the wind.
Concubine Wu turned off the lights, so only the moonlight came in the room, it was almost eleven o'clock, everyone didn't speak, Xiao Juzi slept very calmly after taking the medicine, and the silence in the room was a little terrible.
I don't know how long I waited, but the moonlight began to faint, was it blocked by the clouds? The view in the room was getting fainter and fainter, though it didn't have much of an effect on me, and the night was more suitable for the ghosts themselves to wander.
I vaguely saw a shadow outside the window, and the shadow was only a lump, and it didn't look like an adult, but like a child's figure.
The knocking sound came from the window glass, I looked at Fei Wu and Meng Xiaomei, their night vision seemed to be able to see the shadow outside the window, Meng Xiaomei made a gesture to me not to act rashly, only the expression on Jiang Shuisheng's face was a little nervous, because he couldn't see what was knocking at all.
Knock knock, this knock is even more violent, "Little ghost, you go and open the window!" Meng Xiaomei said to me in a heartfelt voice.
So I floated to the window, carefully pulled the window to reveal a gap that was neither wide nor narrow, and a nimble figure rolled in, this scene seemed to have been seen by Jiang Shuisheng, and he shouted: "Catch it!" â
But no one responded, only he was alone in the dark and trying to catch the black figure, but this figure was too flexible and vigorous, and Jiang Shuisheng crackled and collided, almost not lifting the bed. I thought it was funny on the one hand, because I was already sure that this was definitely not a ghost.
Fei Wu turned on the light with a snap, and everyone could see clearly in the bright light that the nimble figure was actually a monkey climbing up and down!
The monkey seemed to be looking for something, it was nimble, lithe, cute, its eyes wide, and its eyeballs were rolling up and down as if it were thinking about something.
Seeing that it was a monkey, Jiang Shuisheng's expression was annoyed and funny, it turned out that it was this quirky monkey who knocked on the door in the middle of the night!
This monkey's vigilance seems to be particularly high, as soon as people get close, it will jump to another place, and what is even more amazing is that this monkey seems to have spiritual powers, it seems to see creatures that do not exist zĂ i, for example, me, even when I get close to it, it reacts quickly to dodge, which is interesting.
Fei Wu thought the monkey was cute and wanted to get closer, but as soon as she got close to it, it jumped on top of the wardrobe in a blink of an eye, looking at the monkey rubbing her hair with her paws with an expression that she didn't want you to catch me, and Fei Wu also felt helpless.
Only Meng Xiaomei, who had watched the show for a long time, twisted her waist and walked to the side of the wardrobe, she looked at the arrogant monkey with a smile in her eyes, and the monkey also looked at her, after a long time of holding Meng Xiaomei's smile in the corner of her eyes deepened, could it be that this woman was discharging the monkey?
Just saw Meng Xiaomei hook her fingers, the monkey obediently snorted in front of Meng Xiaomei as if enchanted, Meng Xiaomei touched the monkey's head with satisfaction, which surprised us all.
When will Meng Xiaomei still train animals? Had she ever been in a circus?
Then Meng Xiaomei raised her hand again, and the monkey chattered as if he was narrating a thing, dancing and hideous, with a vivid expression, and I watched it on the side.
"yes, I see." Meng Xiaomei nodded, it seemed that she could understand what the monkey was saying.
But the monkey was still chattering like a flood that had broken its banks, as if it was complaining, and continued to write without stopping.
Meng Xiaomei frowned and scolded slightly: "You are still finished!" â
When the monkey heard this, he looked at Meng Xiaomei with his mouth aggrieved, and when he was about to argue, he looked at Meng Xiaomei's slightly sharp gaze, and hid to the side with some fear, shrugged his head, and didn't dare to move.
The author has something to say: It's finally going to be a big * wow~~.
