Volume I, Chapter 20

Hongxing and his younger brother Wang Hongju slept in the same bedroom, Wang Hongxing couldn't sleep in bed anyway, the ghost story told by his mother just now was too scary! He always felt that the female ghost was hiding under his bed, and when he fell asleep, the female ghost would come out from under the bed and eat him.

Wang Hongxing didn't dare to sleep and didn't let his younger brother turn off the bedroom light, Wang Hongju, who was already full of interest, asked curiously: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" When it's time to go to bed, don't ask someone to turn off the lights.

Wang Hongxing trembled and said: "Hongju, our house is haunted, I don't dare to turn off the lights and sleep." ”

"What the hell are we doing? Brother, who are you striking! Wang Hongju thought that his brother was joking with himself.

"Lie to you that you're a puppy! I was catching crickets in the back garden when I bumped into a ghost, and the ghost kicked me in the ass. Wang Hongxing curled up in the quilt and turned the ghost story he had just heard from his mother into something he had personally experienced, and told it to his younger brother with added fuel and vinegar. After Wang Hongxing finished telling the story, he thought that his younger brother was so scared that he was about to wet the bed, but he didn't expect Wang Hongju to laugh out loud after listening to the story.

Wang Hongxing asked strangely: "Hongju, what I am talking about is what I saw with my own eyes, what are you laughing at?" ”

Wang Hongju said: "Brother, you make up stories, I always go to the back garden to play, why haven't I seen a female ghost there?" ”

"Hongju, you don't know this, this ghost is not something you can see if you want to. This female ghost, she has a rope around her neck, she must have been wronged in her previous life and hanged herself, her death is unknown, so she wants to find someone to tell her the grievances of her previous life, she thinks I am a trustworthy person, so she found me and asked me to avenge her. Why didn't she look for you? Because you're still an ignorant little brat! Wang Hongxing cleverly made up the reason.

"Nonsense! If the female ghost wants you to avenge her, why does she still kick your ass? ”

Wang Hongxing was asked, and he stammered nonsense, "That's because, because I was so scared by her that I peed my pants, she thought I was useless, unproductive, so, so I was angry." Just, just kicked me in the ass. You say it's the reason, isn't it? ”

But Wang Hongju still didn't believe it, he asked rhetorically: "Brother, our father is not more trustworthy than you, he lives in the back garden every day, why doesn't the ghost look for him?" ”

Wang Hongxing learned his mother's tone and said, "Ouch! I said you're a fool! Who is our dad? He has been a general and a big official, and you don't want to think about it, when he led his troops to fight, he killed people like hemp! Who is he afraid of! The old people said that each of us has a star of our own in the sky, and our father is the heavenly star in the sky, he is full of murderous energy, how dare those little ghosts see him! ”

"I don't believe in ghosts anyway. If this person becomes a ghost after he dies, then countless people have died from ancient times to the present, and there are not more ghosts than people in this world? ”

No matter what Wang Hongxing said, Wang Hongju just didn't believe it, and the little brother and son had endless disputes, so they started to bet. Wang Hongju proposed: "Brother, tonight, let's go to the back garden after our parents fall asleep, and you can take me to meet that female ghost." ”

"Ouch! That's not going to work! The back garden in the big night is so terrible that I don't dare to go anymore! ”

"I'm with you. What are you afraid of? If you don't dare to go, you'll have to admit that you're a ghost too! ”

Wang Hongxing shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense! I'm a big living person, how can I be a ghost? Don't curse me, okay! ”

"I said you were a coward!" Wang Hongju laughed proudly after speaking.

"Humph! Who's a coward? I'm not anyway! I'm going to sleep, I'm too lazy to take care of you! Wang Hongxing was so angry with his younger brother that he gasped. He covered his head with a quilt.

When Wang Hongju saw that his brother was going to sleep, he teased and said, "Brother, if you don't dare to go to the back garden tonight, you will be a coward!" ”

Wang Hongxing knew that his younger brother was commanding his army, so he pretended to be asleep and ignored it.

Wang Hongju continued to tease and said, "Brother." If you dare to go, I'll lose you a month's pocket money and make your bed every night for a month. Fold the quilt for you in the morning. ”

Wang Hongxing heard his younger brother say this, and a carp sat up from the bed, this temptation was too great. He asked, "Hongju, do you mean what you say?" ”

Wang Hongju replied: "Of course it counts!" I still say the same thing: if you don't dare to go, you are a coward! If you don't dare to go, you'll have to make a bed for me for a month and empty the urinal every morning. In addition, give me your pocket money for a month. ”

"Hongju, you haven't spent the red envelope that your aunt gave you, have you?"

"I didn't spend it! If you dare to go to the back garden tonight, I promise to give you a red envelope! Wang Hongju said very refreshingly.

Wang Hongxing said in an open tone: "Okay! I'll make this bet with you! All I have to do tonight is to go to the back garden and win, let's make a decision! Whoever lied to someone is a puppy! ”

Wang Hongju stretched out his hand and responded: "Let's pull the hook, I will never regret what I said!" ”

"Tell you, I'm not a coward! Mom said: People are not afraid of ghosts and ghosts, they are afraid of people, I want to make a show for you to see! Wang Hongxing, who had always been timid, suddenly got hot, and he hurriedly got dressed.

In the middle of the night, the moon was burrowing in the clouds of the sky, the shadows of the trees in the back garden were longing, and the surroundings were quiet, as if the whole world was asleep, and only the tiger-headed and golden-winged cricket still cried intermittently. At this time, two black shadows slipped into the back garden one after the other.

Wang Hongxing was much bolder in the company of his younger brother, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, he heard that the cricket he was going to catch just now was still there, so he took the cage and drill to catch the cricket and went straight to the foot of the rockery, Wang Hongju followed. In a few clicks, Wang Hongju skillfully caught the cricket, and he put the cricket into a finished paper tube. Then the two brothers climbed the rockery and hid behind a large rock to observe the movement in the back garden. The courtyard was so quiet that you could hear even an embroidery needle falling to the ground. Wang Hongxing was timid, he felt that this gloomy courtyard was terrifyingly quiet, there might be ghosts hidden around, and any slight noise could arouse goosebumps all over his body.

The climate in autumn is like a jujube pit, hot at noon and cool in the evening and evening, the brothers are only wearing single clothes, and they feel the chill when they lie on the rockery for a while, and they stay for an hour and find nothing. Wang Hongxing, who was panicked, thought that he had won his brother in a bet, so he didn't want to stay any longer. Wang Hongju listened to what his brother said, and originally went to the back garden to catch ghosts out of curiosity, but there were no ghosts in the back garden, and he was going back to the house to sleep, so he and his brother were going down the rockery. When he turned around to check the scene in the garden again, he couldn't help but be stunned, he took Wang Hongxing's hand and whispered, "Brother, look at that!" ”

Wang Hongxing looked in the direction indicated by his younger brother, and couldn't help but feel creepy. He saw a white shadow appear in the forest in the distance, and this white shadow swayed from time to time, and it seemed to him that the shadow was flickering and flickering. At this moment, the moon came out of the clouds, and through the moonlight, the faint white shadow seemed to be a woman with long hair. Wang Hongxing panicked, and he said to his younger brother tremblingly: "My mother! Also, there really is, there are female ghosts! This female ghost eats children, let's run quickly. He tried to run away, but his legs were as heavy as lead.

Did you really meet a ghost? Although Wang Hongju said that he didn't believe in ghosts, when he saw this strange shadow, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, only to feel a chill in his back and his hair standing up. He forced his composure against the stone, determined to observe it a little longer.

At this time, I saw that the white shadow moved up and down, left and right, this shadow was sometimes big and sometimes small, the movement was very strange, and the white shadow danced for a while and then disappeared. Only then did the brothers' beating hearts go down from their throats. Wang Hongxing whispered to his younger brother: "Hongju, I didn't lie to you, this time you saw a ghost!" ”

Wang Hongju was surprised by this phenomenon: "It stands to reason that there are no ghosts in this world, but if you say you don't believe in ghosts, then what are we seeing today?" ”

At this time, there was a strange cry of night birds from somewhere, and the back garden in the middle of the night was even more eerie. "Alright, don't be foolish. Walk! Let's get out of here, or the ghost will come out again, and I don't want to see her again." Wang Hongxing hurriedly pulled his younger brother down the rockery.

The brothers came down the mountain, but they just turned a rock and were shocked by the scene in front of them and gasped, Wang Hongxing opened his frightened eyes widely, his mouth opened a few times and wanted to shout but couldn't shout, he only felt that his crotch was wet, and his body shook and collapsed to the ground. It turned out that not far from them, there was a woman in white who walked slowly forward with her back to them, her white clothes looked miserable and white in the moonlight, and the breeze blew her long hair and her loose clothes back, giving people a fluttering feeling. Is she a ghost? Is it an immortal? Or people? Why did she appear in the garden in the middle of the night? Wang Hongju was also so frightened that he had goosebumps all over his body, and he quickly covered his eyes with his hands and didn't dare to look at it again. The woman in white seemed to sense something, and she took a few steps before disappearing into the flowers and trees. When the little brothers came to their senses, the garden was empty as if nothing had happened. (To be continued......)
