Chapter 31: The Town Haunted (1)
"Well, that's a long story!"
The innkeeper went downstairs and closed the door, saying, "Actually, everyone still listens to Adou in the town about this haunted thing. ”
The innkeeper was thoughtful and eloquent.
In fact, the Adou in the mouth of the innkeeper was originally a young man in the town who bought baked cakes.
Adou is honest and good-hearted, hardworking and honest, and the one-handed baked cakes he makes are full of praise for everyone, and there are many homeless people begging in the town, Adou often gives some baked cakes, that is, everyone is more familiar with Adou who comes and goes.
It happened on a night that day, because Adou's pancakes were sold too much, so when he rushed to the next day's pancakes at the pawnshop overnight, it was on this night that Adou saw a woman in red holding a baby.
At first, Adou thought it was the daughter-in-law of a family who went out in the middle of the night, out of kindness, he shouted to the woman in red and wanted to fill a few pieces of baked cakes for others, but the woman in red just smiled at Adou, and then kept walking in one direction, Adou saw the woman in red holding the child and walking farther and farther after chasing a few steps, so he gave up the idea!
On the second day, out of curiosity, Adou asked everyone if there was a woman in red holding a baby in the town, and everyone asked Adou what this woman looked like.
Adou Shu didn't know how to express it, only said that this woman was very beautiful and the same as a fairy, everyone laughed when they heard it, and ridiculed Adou if he wanted to ask his daughter-in-law to get sick.
Adou didn't care, he worked hard to make his baked cakes, and at the end of the day, he quickly forgot about the woman in red.
This night, he rushed to make baked cakes as usual, and just as Adou was about to close the stall, he saw the woman in red holding the baby again, the woman in red walked slowly, this time she came to the pawnshop and smiled at Adou, and then slowly disappeared into the street at night.
For a few days, Adou would see the woman in red every night, and the woman would smile at her every time, and gradually, Adou began to be curious and liking for the woman in red!
Adou told everyone about the woman in red again, Adou is known for being honest and can't lie, so everyone can't help but wonder when they hear it, and no one makes fun of Adou anymore.
Everyone told Adou that there were no beautiful women holding babies in their town, and some of the older generation stood up and said that it was not a good thing for Adou to see a woman in red in the middle of the night, and asked Adou if he had seen the hell?
When Adou heard this, he hurriedly retorted that the woman in red had greeted him, and the woman had smiled at him, so it couldn't be a ghost.
Everyone asked Adou again, is the baby held by the woman in red alive, has he ever cried?
This time Ah Dou stopped, he recalled in his mind, that the baby was tightly wrapped under a white bag, he had never seen the baby's appearance, and he had never heard the baby cry.
As soon as Adou's words came out, everyone was immediately frightened, and they all said that Adou was really a hell of a thing, and asked him not to open the shop again these nights.
Adou shook his head, he didn't feel at ease with everyone's words, that is, this night, Adou had an accident!
The people in the town found Adou still in the early morning of the next day, only to see Adou lying in front of his pawnshop, his face was blue and unconscious, and in his hand, he was clutching this white bag!
The onlookers quickly exclaimed, recognized the bag, and said that the bag was the clothes that Adou said would wrap the baby.
The crowd exploded into the nest, and the older generation said, the woman in red and the baby are afraid that they are fierce to the mother and son, and Adou should have been sucked into the spirit, and I am afraid that his life will not be long!
Soon, someone found a foot doctor, this doctor's rhetoric is no different from the older generation, and this doctor said that the mother and son were unjustly killed, and they dared to haunt the streets at night, probably in order to absorb the spirit of the yang people to be reborn.
In the face of Adou's situation, the foot doctor knew that he was not capable enough to wake up Adou, so he used a lot of herbs to hang his breath, so as not to prevent Adou from becoming a vegetative person, as if he was also afraid of causing trouble, and after doing this, the foot doctor left the town in a hurry!
The innkeeper said this, sighing, "That's why our town is haunted." ”
I listened with a frown on my brow, full of curiosity and questions about the story!
Gao Mujuan was also shocked, she should have been frightened by the fierceness of the mother and son told by the hotel owner.
Thinking that she escaped from the village overnight that night, she was also passing through the town at that time, fortunately she didn't meet any mother and son at that time, otherwise she really couldn't imagine it!
Thinking of this, Gao Mujuan shuddered!
I thought for a moment and wondered, "What about the others, have other people seen that mother and son fierce?" ”
"See!"
The innkeeper looked regretful: "A few old men who don't believe in evil think that the doctor made up evil rumors, so they crashed into the muzzle of the gun that night, just like Adou!" ”
I couldn't help but gasp when I heard this, I didn't expect such a strange thing to happen in the town.
"Does no one know the origin of the woman in red?" Takagijuan asked the question I also wanted to know.
The innkeeper shook his head and said, "If you know, it won't be haunted!" ”
After saying this, the innkeeper suddenly told us to go to rest as soon as possible, and let us not go out of the room if we were fine, and then turned and left.
After chatting with Takagijuan for a few words, I went back to my room and locked the door.
I lay on the edge of the bed, listening to the sound of running water coming from Gao Mujuan's room next door, and my thoughts drifted away and I couldn't sleep!
For some reason, my mind was full of the innkeeper's story about the woman in red and the baby, a pair of hard-working mothers and sons who had absorbed the spirit of the yang people and wanted to be reborn because of their unjust death!
I thought of Su Rongrong again, a girl who struggled for love and fell into pain with the same unjust death, I really don't want that mother and son to become the second Su Rongrong.
I touched the white jade hanging around my neck, and suddenly remembered what Su Rongrong said to me at the last moment!
Don't trust those closest to you!
Who will be the closest person to me?
Lao Liu?
Or Takagi Juan?
Thinking about it, I fell asleep in a daze, I don't know how long later, in a trance, I seemed to hear a nursery rhyme from the room, a whisper, a cry, the sound seems to be in my ears for a long time.
I tried hard to open my eyes, but I found that my eyelids were so heavy that I couldn't open them, and my body was like lead, and I couldn't move at all!
What's going on?
I panicked and tried to exhale, but in vain!
At this moment, I could feel the sound close to me, as if it was standing next to my bed, laughing at me frequently, as if laughing at my insolence.
I struggled for a long time, and my whole body seemed to be soaked in cold sweat, and I could even feel the cold feeling of sweat sliding down my skin!
When I began to feel exhausted and my consciousness began to blur, at this time, a warm current suddenly spread out from my body, like a ray of sunshine in winter, all over my body, which made me fall asleep at the same time as a spring breeze!
