Chapter 62: Poisonous Flower (5)
Xue Yi took a ride back to her hometown at around 4 o'clock in the afternoon. After 2 hours of bumps, I finally saw that ancient land. Xue Yi stood at the entrance of the village, she couldn't remember how long she hadn't come, a year or two? Usually Xuezhi comes to visit grandma, but this time she came suddenly, grandma must be very surprised, right? Xue Yi walked along the avenue leading to the village, which was lined with tall birch trees, and the leaves rattled, although the wind was not strong. Grandma's house is in the southernmost part of the village, and there are no houses further south, and the wheat fields are spread out not far from the door, which is very lonely. The birch tree path is very long, and Xueyi walked for more than ten minutes to reach the door of her grandmother's house. The gate of the courtyard was open, and my grandmother was washing clothes in the yard.
Xue Yi called grandma, and grandma raised her head, with a smile on her face, and said happily, "Xuezhi is here?" Didn't you come? It's a critical period for the entrance examination, didn't you say that you would come to live after the summer vacation? β
Grandma's eyes were dazzled, and she took Xueyi as a snow branch. When she saw it clearly, a look of disappointment crossed her face, and she replaced it with a fake smile, saying, "It's Xueyi?" Come inside. How's Snow Branch? How are you going to study? β
"She's good, what about the first place in the exam?" Xue Yi said.
"Oops, that's great!" Grandma was happy again.
During the conversation, grandma talked about Xuezhi, which made Xueyi very embarrassed, but she didn't get angry, she didn't care, she didn't like grandma anyway.
After dinner, Xue Yi came to a separate room, which was the room where Xue Zhi lived every time she came to live. The room has a single bed and a desk by the window with a vase with fake flowers in it. The room is dry and comfortable due to the good lighting. Although Xuezhi hasn't been here for a long time, the house is spotless, and it seems that grandma often cleans it. She took out the books in her bag and spread them out on the desk, ready to do her homework.
At 11:30 p.m., Xue Yi quietly went out, and her grandmother was already asleep by this time, and the faint snoring echoed in every corner of the house.
The weather is so good tonight, a round moon in the dark blue sky, Xue Yi walks in the silver moonlight, there is a feeling of being in a fairy tale world, she knows that what she wants to do tonight is unusual, even if it is a fairy tale world, it is a dark fairy tale, right?
Xue Yi walked towards the embankment outside the village, near which there was a large cemetery. Xue Yi is very familiar with it, and when she was a child, she often went to play together. The embankment is beautiful, standing on the high embankment, the scenery is in full view, the winding river, the green reeds, and the endless wheat fields in the distance. The cemetery was planted in the middle of a wheat field, surrounded by swaying ears of wheat.
Walking up the embankment and crossing a bridge, she approached the cemetery, and Xue Yi became frightened at this time, and she continued to move forward. Standing on the bridge, the field of vision is wide, the quiet river reflects the white moonlight, and is cut into two sections by the bridge, for some reason, Xue Yi remembered the two water sleeves, the white water sleeves, connected to the red clothes, hanging down, like a hanging white silk.
Xue Yi finally arrived at the cemetery, and she stood on the raised ridge between the path and the cemetery, looking out with her eyes and not seeing the border, and the graves of different sizes were scattered in a disorderly manner. How do you get started? Xue Yi pondered, she felt stupid to do these strange things, although there was no one around, she still had a feeling of embarrassment. She stiffened her head, first knelt down, according to the book, folded her hands, closed her eyes, and recited the ballad first, "The lonely ghost is not here, if you want to get rich, come with me." A lot of dark coins are in your hands to ensure that you don't have to worry about eating and drinking. You help me, I'll help you, and people and ghosts can also be friends. After reading it, he began to recite mantras again, and those mantras were also marked with Chinese characters, and Xue Yi memorized it early, and a whining burst out of her mouth. A cold wind blew, Xue Yi quickly opened her eyes, the moment her eyes opened, her eyes widened with suspicion, and the three of them stared at her motionless two meters away from her. In the moonlight, Xue Yi couldn't see their faces clearly, only the vague outline of their figures, and on the left was a woman in a white robe with long hair. In the middle seems to be an old lady, with a pot on her waist, on crutches, and a small basket in the crook of her arm. On the right is a child, riding on a tombstone. Both sides are like sculptures, as if waiting for the other to speak. Xue Yi found that she was still kneeling with them at this time, and quickly stood up, and the deadlock was broken.
The old woman said straight to the point: "What do you want us to do for you?" As long as you have enough money, you can kill people! β
Xue Yi shuddered and said, "Are you really ghosts?" β
The old woman said, "Of course, this is the chassis of ghosts, what are we not ghosts?" β
Xue Yi clasped her hands together so as not to tremble too much, and she said, "Oh. It is to kill someone, to kill an enemy. She didn't dare to say that person was her sister, she was afraid that the ghost would look down on her, after all, killing her relatives was too vicious.
The old woman said, "To kill someone, you have to burn paper and coins for us for seven hundred and forty-nine days." You don't need to burn it every day, just once every seven days. Five pieces of burnt paper each time, one hundred pieces of coins. β
Xue Yi said: "Why burn it in parts? Wouldn't it be better if I burned it to you all at once? β
The old woman waved her hand and said, "No, the amount received is too large, it will attract the attention of the underworld bank, and if it is reported to the king of Hades and visited, we will be miserable." β
Xue Yi said: "I see, okay, just according to what you said." β
"Oh! Rich to spend! There's candy to eat! The little boy riding on the tombstone suddenly cheered, startling Xue Yi.
"Hey, hey, heyγγγγγγ eat, eat, eat, hungry." The white-clothed female ghost said with a smile, and saliva seemed to flow from her mouth, as if she was a fool. Sure enough, the old woman opened her mouth and scolded, "Fool! You can't eat her! She is our God of Wealth. β
Xue Yi gasped, it turns out that this woman wants to eat me? I thought she was going to eat candy too. Xue Yi just wanted to leave quickly, and said to the old woman: "It's too late at night, I have to go back." What should I do? Are you going to go back with me to meet my enemy? I went to a school 200 miles away, and my enemy was there. β
The old woman said: "200 miles is too far away, we can't come out during the day, we can only go immediately, I will go with you first, recognize the road, recognize the people." You are a living person, you can't fly, I will, I will take you to fly. β
Xue Yi pondered, oh? And this kind of thing, I can also experience the feeling of flying?
The old woman turned to the white-clothed female ghost again and said, "Fool! Take Xiaobao back, I'm going to go with this girl, you're going to have meat to eat soon." Alas! Raise you alive, and raise you when you die, if it weren't for Xiaobao, who would care about you! β
The female ghost in white picked up the child and disappeared into the night, their bodies becoming transparent and thin until they were gone.
The old woman whispered to Xue Yi again: "Alas! That's my daughter-in-law and grandson. My life is really miserable, my son was sent to the eighteenth layer of hell, and I still have to support my family, I was a hard life before I was born, and I still have a hard life after death, and I can't be reincarnated. β
Xue Yi was curious about how the family died, and why they died, she wanted to ask, but she never mustered up the courage, she was afraid that if she said too much, she would lose, and if she angered the old woman, her life would be lost.
The old woman said, "Don't worry, girl, I will do this for you, I will tear out the intestines of your enemy, you see how long my nails are!" As she spoke, her claw-like hand suddenly reached out to Xue Yi, who instinctively stepped back, she couldn't see her nails clearly in the night, she only asked about the smell of rot.
"Come, let's go." The old woman said, and her claw-like hand clamped Xue Yi's arm and flew with her.
Xue Yi thought it was amazing, the old woman only grabbed her arm and she flew up, and she seemed to be out of the earth's gravity, flying very easily, and there was no feeling of falling. Xueyi showed the way, first went back to her grandmother's house to get her schoolbag, and then flew back to the school in the city.
They landed in the open space in front of the dormitory door.
"Look, there it is." Xue Yi pointed to a window and said.
The old woman looked in the direction of her finger and said, "Oh, this is the building?" I haven't seen a building before in my life. What do you mean? The third on the right side of the third floor? β
"No, it's the second one." Xue Yi corrected. "Here's a picture of her, there's another person in that room, remember, don't recognize the wrong person." Xue Yi said again, taking out the photo of Xue Zhi from her school bagγγγγγγ
Han Lixin woke up in the morning, with fluffy hair, and said to Xuezhi: "Yesterday I had a dream, and it didn't seem to be a dream, there was a person lying on our windowsill looking in, so scared that I didn't dare to squeak, that person looked at it for a while, and then disappeared, so strange, like a black mist being diluted, thinning and disappearing." Do you think it's a ghost? β
Xuezhi was combing her hair, smiled and said, "It's a ghost, how can a person lie on the windowsill, this is the third floor." β
"Huh? Why don't you have any sense of being scared? Han Lixin said.
"Because it's a dream, there are no ghosts in the world, why am I afraid." Yukizhi said.
Han Lixin frowned and said, "But I don't think it's like a dream, I can't say it." β
"Don't focus on things that don't make sense, just read a book. You're such an optimist. After speaking, Xuezhi stood up and walked out of the dormitory with her schoolbag.
From then on, Xue Yi was going to burn paper money for the undead, just like Yuyan, who came out of the house mysteriously every Sunday night, hid in a dark corner, and lit the lighter with "Click", and the firelight flashed in all directions, illuminating the face of an evil face. Xue Yi was worried at first that Yu Yan also happened to come out to do this when she was burning paper, so it would be embarrassing, so she staggered the time, Yu Yan usually happened at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, so she acted at 3 o'clock. Of course, she wouldn't stay up until 3 o'clock, and in that case, she wouldn't have the energy to go to class the next day, so she set the alarm clock and put it at the head of the bed. At the beginning of the first time, Xue Yi was a little excited, and she didn't fall asleep until 3 o'clock, she found that the yard had been quiet, and she didn't hear Yuyan coming out of the house, their doors were very close, and Yuyan's door opened and closed with a slight creak, which was heard clearly in the quiet night. Xue Yi wondered at first, but then she understood that Yuyan's deal with the undead had ended, and the female ghost in red echoed in her ears, "Gone~gone~ It's done~." Xue Yi didn't choose to be exposed under the dense moon flowers, she chose to be in the alley, a little farther away from the gate, and every time she burned the paper, she used a dustpan to put away the black ash, trying not to leave a trace.
