When I returned to the hotel, I quickly went to take a hot shower and felt much better.

In the mirror, I saw that there were no strangulation marks on my neck, but it was very painful, and it felt cold, as if a hole was exposed, and the cold wind kept pouring into it.

Lying in bed, my mind is messed up.

It's all what happened just by the river, and I instantly feel shuddering and chilling all over.

Even with two quilts and the air conditioner turned to the highest temperature, this is still the case.

I think I have a cold.

The brain is groggy and the nostrils are blocked, which is very uncomfortable.

In a daze, I fell asleep.

This night, I didn't sleep well.

I had a lot of messy dreams, on and off, and I seemed to see me in a village.

The sound of suona came to my ears.... Something slowly fell on me.....

When I picked it up, it turned out to be paper money....

At this time, countless paper money was sprinkled in the air, like snowflakes, fluttering down.

I saw several people passing me carrying the coffin..... Then they stopped, and they all looked at me slowly.

The faces of the coffin-bearers changed abruptly.... The cheeks are pale and expressionless, with thumb-sized red spots on either side of the mouth, scarlet lips, and purple eyelids.

Take a closer look.... These coffin bearers turned out to be paper figures!!

At this moment, the paper man holding the photo in his hand smiled strangely at me, and the person in the photo ..... It turned out to be myself....

"Ahh

With a panicked scream, I woke up from my nightmare and sat up.

Sweating profusely, panting, his heart beating violently, his chest heaving violently, and his back was cold, like a poisonous snake climbing....

Taking a few breaths, I leaned back on the head of the bed, lit a cigarette and took a big gulp.

That dream is so realistic.

It was chilling and shivering, and I still haven't recovered my strength, and my heart is palpitating.

It's as if everything in the dream has really happened....

I took a breath and looked at the time, and it was actually twelve o'clock.

Put out the cigarette, get ready to wash up in the bathroom, and set off.

At this point, I felt more pain in my neck than yesterday, and it was a little tight, as if I had been strangled by something.

And I felt a heavy weight in my spine, as if something was holding it down.

But nothing was found in the mirror, not even the skin.

Taking a deep breath, I thought that maybe it was because of the cold, so I ignored it, and then began to wash, and after about half an hour, I picked up my backpack and set off.

On the side of the street, bought a few buns and waited for the shuttle bus to arrive.

After a while, the car arrived.

I went up and found a random place to sit down, and then leaned against the window and fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up, the car was parked on the road.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he yawned and asked the conductor, "Have you arrived?" ”

The conductor pulled his throat and said, "The car is broken, and I'm waiting for someone to come and fix it!" ”

At this time, I saw clearly that basically all the people in the car got out of the car, and there were only a few young people sitting in the car watching videos.

Looking at the time, it was two o'clock.

I asked the driver how long it would take for the car to be repaired.

The driver said, "It is estimated that it will take an hour or two, as long as someone from the repair shop comes, it will be fine immediately." ”

I asked, "Are there any other buses?" ”

The driver shook his head: "This road, just our car." ”

I lowered my head and thought for a moment, it is not a way to wait here, according to the time, it is estimated that it will be four or five o'clock when I arrive in Hejia Village.

After taking the things back, I must not be able to catch the most trips to the town.

So I decided that instead of waiting here, it would be better to walk to Xujia Village.

I grabbed my stuff, and it didn't take long for the shuttle to arrive, just in time to catch the bus to town.

So I asked the driver for the way to Xujia Village.

The driver told me a small road and it was only half an hour away.

Carrying my school bag, I followed the path pointed out by the driver.

It is a secluded trail that winds and turns with lots of rocks and weeds.

Although this road is secluded, there are still many people walking, following the footprints on the ground, but it also saves a lot of effort, and there is no need to explore the road.

For some reason, I felt very heavy in my body, as if I had lead tied up in my feet, and every step I took required a lot of physical strength.

Gradually, sweat flowed out.

But I didn't dare to feel hot, but cold.

Sitting on a piece of bluestone, I took a few breaths, lit a cigarette and rested.

With a "bang", I seemed to have kicked something, and when I looked at it, it was a porcelain bowl, and there were ashes from the burned paper under my feet, and three sticks of incense were inserted.

Then I stood up, and my heart tingled.

There is a custom in the countryside that if something bad happens at home, they will go to a place, cover the ground with a porcelain bowl, insert incense and burn paper, and drive away bad luck.

There is also a saying that it is to send ghosts.....

As long as you see a bowl on the ground on a country road, it is best not to approach, go as far as you can, and do not keep looking directly, otherwise you will be haunted by bad luck.

If you kick the bowl over, something weird will happen.....

At this time, a gust of wind blew in the desolate place.

I shuddered and shuddered a few times.

Looking at the bowl that I kicked over, I swallowed my saliva, put my hands together and said, "I didn't mean to, don't take it to heart." ”

Immediately, he hit the road.

Twenty minutes later, I came to a village.

I asked the children playing in the village and learned that this was Xujia Village.

It's finally here.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead.

The place where Lao He asked me to go was a house at the end of the village, which was easy to find.

The place was close to the bamboo forest and the river, and there was only that one.

He told me that this was his grandmother's house, and that he was now in his eighties and lived here alone.

It is an old and dirty house, which is relatively old, with many cracks in the walls and a lot of weeds growing on it.

It was as if a gust of wind could blow this house away.

Lao He said that this is the ancestral house of her grandfather's family.

After his grandfather died, all the descendants of the family moved to live in the city, but his grandmother was very nostalgic and refused to leave the place, and did not let the family renovate.

The doors of the houses were open, and a lot of chickens were squatting on the thresholds.

I walked into the courtyard and it was full of mud and weeds, and even a lot of chicken droppings.

"Is anyone there, please?"

I took a few steps forward and stopped at the door.

The chickens squatting on the threshold were immediately frightened, waved their wings, and scrambled to leave.

"Who....."

At this moment, a hoarse voice came from the room, which sounded familiar.

Immediately, he walked out of the bedroom and slowly walked to the door.

Grandma He, it turned out to be the old lady I met by the river in the town last night..... It was nothing short of unexpected.

The old lady leaned over and looked at me with her dark green eyes, a little numb.

She looked at me for a while, squirmed her lips, showed her only two remaining teeth, and said, "It's you, little doll, why are you looking for an old woman?" ”

"It was He Shushen who asked me to come to you." I will report Lao He's name.

The old lady looked at me and said, "Come in!" ”
