On October 16, 2000, when I was 16 years old, at 12 o'clock in the afternoon, my Motorola mobile phone rang.

"Qing Nan...... Your grandmother has died! I have here a letter from your grandmother, saying it was for you......" On the phone, my mother sobbed and told me about this sudden bad news.

My mind was blank, and I didn't remember what my mother had said later. I only remember my grandmother passed away, the grandmother who loved me, her voice and smile seemed to float in front of my eyes, my tears slipped silently, I couldn't believe it was true.

"No, it's impossible, grandma is so powerful, how can she die ......?" I muttered in a muddled voice, walked out of the school in a daze, wandered down the street like a walking corpse, and finally passed out in the crowd.

In a trance, I saw my grandmother come to my side, her old face full of ravines was still so kind, smiling and at the same time extremely pale.

On her shoulder sat a green-clothed female ghost with the same white face, smiling and waving to me, but not saying a word.

I tried to walk over and throw myself into my grandmother's arms, but a hand behind me kept pulling me and stopping me from moving forward. I wanted to turn around and scold, but I found that I couldn't open my mouth at all, and I couldn't turn back.

When I woke up, I was covered in sweat and lying in a hospital bed. My mother is by my side.

"Mom... Grandma isn't dead, is she? I murmured, looking at my mother wistfully.

"Alas! Qing Nan... This is the letter your grandmother left for you......" Mother said, pulling out a crumpled envelope from her coat pocket.

I couldn't wait to open it: "Good daughter, when you read this letter, grandma is no longer in this world." I have already calculated, I will never live to October 15, listen to grandma's words, don't come to the funeral, don't go back to the ancestral home, don't come back to old age and death, only in this way can you be safe and happy, and live the rest of your life in peace! ”

"What if... I mean, if you have the chance, maybe we'll meet in another world......"

My eyes were blurry, and tears were like pearls with broken threads, crackling on the letter.

"Why? Why don't you let me go back to the funeral? Why don't you let me go to the ancestral home? What secrets are hidden there? Another world? Could it be the Netherworld? Opportunity? Yes, chance! As long as I become strong, I can freely shuttle between yin and yang with my Yin Death Body......" My mind was full of doubts, and everything became confusing.

"No, I must send my grandma on the last ride, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well!" I made up my mind and rushed out the door as soon as I got out of bed.

"O daughter! You can't go... You can't go to the ancestral house, it's an ominous place, and without your grandmother's suppression, it will become a ghost land! "My mother grabbed my shirt like crazy from behind, begging me not to go.

"Mom, you know that your daughter's temperament is ......, you can't stop me at all, I'm not as weak as you think, I've learned a lot of the spells left by my grandmother in the past few years, and I've already become extremely powerful, and ordinary ghosts are not my opponents at all. Father can't go, you can't go, only I can send grandma on her last ride! I whispered comfort to my mother, persuaded her for a while, and finally won her consent.

When parting: "Mom, take care of yourself, take care of Dad, if I don't come back, don't look for me, I should have died a long time ago, it was my grandmother who changed my life against the sky, even if I gave her this life, what if I returned her life, I have no regrets!" I strode away.

The ancestral house where my grandmother lived was remote and deserted, and there was no telephone, so even if I took a car, I could only get to Han Village, and then I had to walk ten miles of dirt roads to get there, but there was another trail that could be reached faster.

Before leaving, I purchased a large bundle of incense and candle paper money, a wolf pen, fifty coins of cinnabar, a bundle of yellow table paper, and some bits and pieces of necessities in an incense and candle shop.

In a no-man's corner, I took out a small saucer, mixed cinnabar with mineral water, then bit my middle finger, dripped blood into it, picked up the wolf's hair, stirred well, and concentrated on drawing with the pen.

"Qianzun Yao Ling, Kun Shun Neiying, should feel Xuanhuang, top and bottom. Qiankun Genxun, tiger and dragon soar. Today's line, the jade maid waits. Death to those who chase me, death to those who hunt me. ”

After the mantra was recited, I also drew the talisman.

"Evil Charm!"

I look at the masterpieces in my hands, and in my early years I used to play ghost tricks with my grandmother's paper rune books, so I am very sensitive and familiar with these things.

After careful study, I even studied the function of this paper talisman, which I had read in books before, called the "evil charm charm", which can punish demons and avoid ghosts and gods.

Seven talismans were drawn in a row, and my spirit was seriously lost, and my dizziness was unsustainable.

I put the drawn charm in my wallet, put my bag on my back and got on the express bus back to my grandmother's house.

The ancestral house where my grandmother lives is actually summarized in Jun Tomb Town, but the ancestral house is far away from the town, more than ten kilometers away from the town. And there is an even smaller village not far from the ancestral house, Zhangzhai!

There are more than 20 households in Zhangzhai, and grandma's daily needs come from Zhangzhai, and in recent years, I will occasionally go to Zhangzhai to play when I go back to my ancestral home, and I am also half of Zhangzhai's people.

If you wanted to go to your ancestral house before, you had to walk more than ten kilometers of dirt roads from the town, and if it happened to be raining, it would be even more difficult to walk.

Fortunately, with the development of the village-to-village project, Hejiazhuang in the neighboring village of Zhangzhai has repaired the asphalt road, all the way to the town. As for the distance from Hejiazhuang to Zhangzhai, there are only less than three kilometers left, which is much more convenient than before.

When I took a van to Hejiazhuang in Juntomb, it was smooth sailing, and I didn't hit the rainy day, but the fog was a little big, and the hazy visibility was not high.

I looked at the women's electronic watch in my hand, half past six in the afternoon, the sky is not particularly ugly, it is dark early in the winter, and it will be dark after seven o'clock, so according to the time period, if you go to the ancestral house, or it will be dark soon.

"If Grandma is still alive, then I can rush back and have a hot meal." After talking to myself sadly, I carried a small bag on my back and headed towards the path to Zhangzhai.

"Little girl, it's so late, where are you going?" Just as I was about to step into the path, an old man selling baked cakes on the side of the road said hello to me.

"Visiting relatives." I looked at the old man as I answered, and I don't know if it was an illusion, but in an instant, a fine light flashed from the old man's eyes, and it was fleeting.

"Your little girl is so late, and you are alone, why don't you stay in Hejiazhuang for one night, this road is not smooth at night!" The old man reminded him casually, and there was still a hint of hesitation on his old face.

I know what he wants to say, Zhangzhai is inconvenient, people outside will not go in at all if they are not relatives, plus my grandmother is a famous fairy woman, and her reputation is outside. After a long time, some people said that it was eerie and unclean, so at night, no matter how hurried or anxious it was, no one dared to take this night road.

But they didn't know what it was like, after all, I lived there for most of my life, and there were no people I didn't know, and I remembered that I used to study in the town, and it was often past six o'clock when I came back every week, and then I went back to my ancestral home, and it was normal to go back to eight or nine o'clock.

I was young, I had never seen a powerful mandrill ghost, and I was very bold, the key was that my grandmother didn't say anything when I walked at night, and I was used to it.

When the old man saw that I insisted on leaving, his expression did not seem to be joking, so he did not dare to say anything, in this kind of rural place, no one likes to discipline others, especially those who want to go in the direction of Zhangzhai.

What kind of place is Zhangzhai, people within a radius of dozens of miles all understand, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was called Zhangjiazhuang, which was much larger than the current Hejiazhuang, and there were hundreds of thousands of families living there.

Later, a plague took away all the living people, and the people who moved in later said that it was haunted, and it was gradually abandoned for many years, until after the liberation, there was a place of less than 20 families in Zhangzhai.

Of course, I also listened to Zhang Ping's film director Zhang Ping talk about the ancient times before, and I didn't take this matter seriously.

The night is as cool as water, and the path is narrow and difficult to navigate.

The weeds and woods that are more than half a man tall are as dense as ever, and when the night breeze blows, there is a clattering sound, and the occasional night bird chirps, which is indescribably eerie.

On the foggy yellow mud road, you can't see anything clearly six or seven meters away, even if there is an acquaintance walking in front of you, if there is no footsteps, you will see a hazy shadow.

Tap, tap, ......

I don't know how long I walked, but there was a sound that sounded like footsteps, and it sounded like the sound of cattle and sheep crossing the weeds, and I don't know when it sounded not far ahead.

I'm not a good man or a woman, and I stopped when I heard this voice, and I took out an evil charm from my trouser pocket and clasped it in the palm of my hand.

However, when I stopped, the sound also stopped, which surprised me, remembering that when I came back before, there were often friends who teased me like this, and I had a little fun in my heart, and continued to take steps.

After I started walking, the sound continued to sound, I wondered if it could be the stone of the stone, this guy used to go out at night to catch hares when he was a child, and he didn't forget to play tricks when he met acquaintances walking at night. He just turned eighteen this year, married a beautiful daughter-in-law a few years ago, and called me to report the good news, when I was in the exam stage, and I couldn't make it to this wedding.

I took out the Motorola phone with a black and white screen from my bag, flipped the lid and glanced at the time, at 7:20 p.m., the fog was so great that I could barely reach out when it was dark.

Glancing left and right, there was a panic in my heart for no reason, and at this moment, the clothes behind me were gently pulled.

"My future husband reminded me again, is there any unknown danger ahead?" I muttered quietly.

In the past few years, whenever I was about to encounter danger, my future husband would warn me by pulling the corners of my clothes, and I avoided several disasters because of this.

"Do you want to move on, or do you want to return to Hejiazhuang immediately?" I was a little undecided.
