When the sound of the watchmen in the village sounding the night watch, the fire in the mourning hall flickered, and a gust of wind blew in from outside. My hand burning the paper money paused, and my body shivered.

"What's wrong? Sister? ”

The little brother who was burning paper money opposite me noticed my strangeness and looked up at me with concern.

I shook my head, saying I was fine, but I couldn't ignore his concern for me.

Is it coming, is the person I was waiting for finally coming?

I don't know why I feel it, I've been very sensitive to femininity since I was a child, and although I can't see it, I can feel it. Especially when the ghost father is by my side, I can even feel his every move, emotional fluctuations such as joy, anger and sorrow.

This may be the influence of my yin-gathering physique, but I used to be afraid of the approach of ghosts, except for the ghost father, of course. However, tonight I am full of anticipation, I want to see the old man again, to see what he looks like, I have a lot to say to him.

I was full of anticipation, but I saw that Brother Xiaoyi's body suddenly and slowly fell, and even the uncle on the side closed his eyes and crooked to the side, as if he had fallen asleep.

I looked up in surprise and looked out the door.

The night was heavy, dark and dreary, as if boundless thick ink was heavily smeared in the sky, and there was not even a glimmer of stars. The night fog hit, and the midsummer night was a little cool, and there were few stars in sight in the hazy moonlight. The sky was not pure black, but a vast deep blue in the black, stretching into the distance.

I suddenly felt the air around me drop a lot, as if something was approaching, and after a while, a black shadow slowly drifted into the mourning hall.

Is it an old man? Is he really back?

I eagerly looked at the slowly approaching black shadow, but what I saw was not the familiar appearance of the old man, but a young and handsome face.

It's the ghost daddy, it's him back!

"Daddy, where have you been?" I exclaimed.

The black shadow was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said happily: "Lei girl, can you see me?" ”

I nodded, it turned out that I could still see it if I wanted to. He looks exactly like the boy in the black and white photo that is still in his bedroom, I can't believe it, this is my ghost father who has been shouting for years, he looks similar to Xiao Yige.

The old man once said that the appearance of a ghost after death stays at the same time as when he died. Ghost Dad was just a teenager when he died, and his appearance naturally remained the same as he was at that time. Although there are ghosts that can transform, and there are those who maintain the tragic state before death, I think the appearance of the ghost father is what he usually looks like.

Thinking of the old man, I still want to ask where the old man has gone and why he didn't come back to see me.

Seeing the doubts in my eyes, the ghost father sighed and said, "Lei girl, don't wait, the old man has entered the underworld and will not come back." ”

"But ......"

What I want to say is that when people die, isn't there still the first seven souls, and why can the ghost father stay in the world forever, but the old man just died and entered the underworld.

"The old man often said that he leaked too much heavenly secrets, and after his death, he would go to the underworld to repay the debts he owed, and now it's time for him to pay it back, and the ghosts of the underworld have taken him away."

"Why? Grandpa, he didn't do anything wrong? "I'm in a hurry.

"Lei girl, you don't have to worry, this is his robbery. I'm going to accompany him too, and I've planted a lot of karma with him over the years, and now it's time to pay it back. ”

"Don't! Ghost father, I don't want you to go, and I don't want grandpa to go! ”

I stood up and knocked down an iron basin that was burning paper money, and the paper ash was scattered all over the ground.

"This is all providence, the old man often said: the cycle of cause and effect, everyone who planted the cause by himself, must bear the consequences of the future. Let everything happen and don't be paranoid about anything. ”

"I don't understand this, and I don't want to understand it, I just want Grandpa, I don't want him to suffer for me in the underworld, ghost father, can you take me there, let's go and rescue Grandpa together."

"Lei girl, don't worry about this, your grandfather and ghost father will save it, no matter what, even if it is to spell the ghost father himself, he will not hesitate to do it. You just need to live well, you are our baby, and your life is our wish! ”

The ghost father looked at me lovingly, his eyes full of relief and reluctance.

"You take me, take me there, okay?"

I pleaded, I didn't want to lose any of them, I went and rescued the old man myself.

But the ghost father categorically refused, and he said in an unquestioning tone: "No, I won't take you there." You take away what the old man gave you, and you will grow up well and live a good life in the future. Ghost Daddy and Grandpa can't be with you anymore, and you have to rely on yourself. At the end of his sentence, his tone softened.

"No, don't, ghost daddy, don't go! Didn't you say you wanted to be with me? You haven't watched me grow up, you haven't seen me get married, how can you leave? ”

At this time, I couldn't cry, I didn't know what I was talking about, I only knew that I wanted to leave the ghost father or ask him to take me to the underworld to find the old man.

The ghost father shook his head, "You have your way, there are more things waiting for you in the future, I can't accompany you anymore, there is no banquet in the world." In the future, you should follow your own heart, don't be attached, and don't ask for troubles. ”

He was still patiently persuading me.

I rushed forward, thinking of begging the ghost father to take me to save the old man, but I pounced, the ghost father turned into a virtual shadow, he didn't want me to touch it, I couldn't touch it, he was a ghost after all.

The ghost father stepped back straight and looked at me lovingly, and in his handsome young face, I saw the expectations of the elders for the juniors, caring and reluctant, but not abrupt at all.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you, forget about the ghost father after tonight! In the future, the ghost father can no longer protect you, you have to live well and get away from those dangers! Remember, put away what the old man gave you, and take it close to you so that it doesn't leave your side! ”

As he spoke, the figure floated towards the door, slowly fading into my field of vision.

I chased after me with tears in my eyes, but I was tied down by the high threshold and fell on the threshold.

The ghost father is gone, he will never appear by my side again, and the old man, I will no longer hear his old and loud voice, and I will not see his stern but loving face.

I lost two relatives overnight, and the old man still suffered for me, how can I repay the kindness of this life.

Do I have to bear all these debts? They, they just left so lightly.

No, I'm going to go to the old man, to them, to ask, why they are so reluctant, leaving me with a kind that I can't tell me, and leaving in style.

I thought heavily, but my body passed out uncontrollably.
