I was so anxious that I started to break out in a cold sweat, and the metal cover of the lighter was burning hot.

After a while, the flame finally lit up. Seeing this, Qiao's second mother-in-law finally breathed a sigh of relief. Afraid that the fire would not be enough, I waited for the incense to burn before I let go of the lighter.

"It seems that it is a quality problem ...... incense"

I smiled stiffly, this incense paper is also some old goods left by my grandmother before her death,

I comforted myself that it was because I had a resurgence after a long time. But before I could finish my sentence, my smile immediately stiffened.

Not only me, but even Qiao's second mother-in-law was dumbfounded.

Because I found that a few seconds ago, it was still burning a good incense, and suddenly there was a "magnetic" sound.

Extinguished instantly.

It was like someone suddenly snuffing out a cigarette butt with their hands.

It doesn't matter if the incense is not burned, it can explain that there is a problem with the quality, but after ignition, it suddenly goes out, and I know that this situation is not normal.

I was so panicked that I didn't know what to do for a while.

Qiao's second mother-in-law also had a gloomy face on the side, and said to me, "Try it again." ”

Although it didn't feel right, there was nothing I could do but do what Qiao's second mother-in-law said. I took three sticks of incense again and started to light the fire.

At that moment, my hands began to tremble unconsciously, and I was very nervous.

The flame burned on the incense, accompanied by a subtle "zizi" sound, a burst of green smoke rose up, and the incense suddenly lit up!

The process went surprisingly smoothly and was even more flammable than normal.

I was a little confused, and I didn't react at once.

Seeing this scene, Qiao's second mother-in-law wiped her sweat and shouted twice in surprise: "It's bright, it's finally bright!" ”

Compared to the surprise of Qiao's second mother-in-law, I couldn't be happy, because I soon realized that something was wrong.

Because the incense burned too smoothly, to be precise, it burned too quickly, to the point of abnormality.

Ordinary incense, after it is lit, the fire will be dimmed, but the incense in my hand is different, and it has always been in a very bright state.

It felt like someone was blowing hard.

Burning rapidly at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye. The weirdest thing is that the three incense sticks burn at different speeds, two burn very fast, and the other one burns much slower.

In just a few seconds, the original three incense sticks of the same length have become two short and one long!

At that moment, Qiao's second mother-in-law's face changed greatly, her body began to tremble, and she looked indescribably frightened.

"People are taboo with three long and two short, and the incense taboo is two short and one long, big evil, big evil!" Second Mother-in-law Qiao muttered nervously, and then said, "I'm afraid something big is going to happen." ”

She told me that it was the same when she was in her own house, and she couldn't make incense to the Bodhisattva.

I was also very anxious at the time, and I couldn't care about the lit incense, so I asked Second Sister-in-law Qiao if there was anything I could do.

Second Mother-in-law Qiao shook her head and sighed, and was silent for a long time before saying: "It seems that there is something that does not plan to let you go, you can leave now, that is, your father is lying in the house, you quickly wake her up, go first, and get through tonight." ”

When I heard this, my whole body was in a quandary.

There was a pile of straw lying on the bed in the house, how could I wake it up, and when he left, he also said that he could not touch the straw, as long as I was allowed to keep it for three days.

He didn't come back after three days, and the straw knew what to do.

I stomped my feet in a hurry, and after hesitation, I lied to Qiao's second mother-in-law, saying that my dad actually had a strange illness and had been lying in bed for several days.
