Chapter 3: Fog
But she ran away, but my grandparents made a difficulty, these ten miles and eight villages, just a ghost woman who knows how to solve this kind of thing, can't just watch my dad wait here for death, helpless, my grandfather took out all the family's savings, and went to the next village again overnight, leaving me and my grandmother at home to guard my father.
In the middle of the night, my grandmother told me to go back to sleep, but when I returned to my room, as soon as I turned on the light, I saw a woman in red sitting on my kang.
This dress is very familiar, the same one they used to arrange for my mother's ridiculous wedding, and then buried with my mother's body.
I was a year older, I went to school, and I generally knew the difference between life and death, and now that a person who should have died was standing in front of me, I should have felt scared, but strangely enough, I seemed to have decided that she would not harm me!
I haven't seen it for a long time, and I even shouted in surprise: "Mother!" ”
The figure that turned away trembled slightly, and when he turned around, he still had the same empty and wooden expression, but his hands were slightly open, as if he wanted to hug me.
But before I could react, I saw my grandmother rushing in with a broom, and when she saw the mother sitting on the kang, her feet were soft at first, but she still dragged me behind her, shouting: "Cheap woman, why don't you let me go of our house!" ”
As I spoke, I struck a broom, and my heart tightened, and I saw my mother's figure fluctuate for a while, and finally turned into a puff of green smoke and floated out of the window.
Watching the green smoke go away, I felt a sense of loss in my heart, and I became more and more resentful of my grandmother, she really didn't care at all, hurriedly closed the doors and windows tightly, and didn't let me continue to sleep, pulled me to the main house, and said: "Your damn mother may come back, let's wait here today for your grandfather to invite the ghost wife back!" ”
I looked at my father, who was pale and unconscious, and said faintly: "My mother was forced to death by you, why didn't my mother hurt you, but my father?" ”
Grandma's face changed obviously, and then her eyes turned red, and she picked up the broom in her hand and hit me, scolding me for being a white-eyed wolf as she beat me.
The broom hit my body, and it was red and swollen, but I couldn't cry out, just stiffened.
After beating for a long time, my grandmother got tired, threw away the broom, hugged me and started crying.
It was not until noon the next day that my grandfather came back with the ghost woman again, and the ghost woman's face was obviously reluctant, and he looked at my father's state again, took out a piece of talisman paper, and asked my grandmother to burn it to ashes, and put it in water for my father to drink.
When a bowl of black talisman water was sent into my father's mouth, my father's pale face was slightly ruddy, but it was only a little, and the whole person was still extremely thin and looked terrible.
My grandmother asked distressedly, "Ghost woman, is my son still saved?" ”
The ghost woman sighed and looked at me with some hesitation, and my grandmother immediately understood and asked my grandfather to take me back to the room, but when my grandfather left, I leaned on the crack of the door again and listened to their conversation.
"I didn't want to do it that badly, but you ...... If you have a lot of heart, then I will help you one last! The ghost woman said with some hesitation.
"You mean, my son is saved?" My grandmother said in surprise.
The ghost woman nodded and said, "Your son was entangled by that woman, and if you want to save your son, then there is only one way for the female ghost to let him go, but the female ghost is obviously too resentful...... So I had to let her soul fly away! ”
When my grandfather heard this, he subconsciously trembled, and then said with some horror: "This is not good, people are forced to die by us, and this death will make her soul scatter...... What is this called? ”
Grandma slapped her grandfather angrily and said, "Then you just watch your son die, it's best to let that kill you and Xiaohui together, so that your Li family is the last, anyway, I'm a dead old lady, what do I care about!" ”
Grandpa didn't speak anymore when he heard this, just looked at the ghost woman, and the ghost woman sighed again and continued: "This matter is indeed not very honorable, and it may even damage Yin morality, but everything is to save people...... The woman is resentful, I am afraid that I am not her opponent, I can only work on her corpse, tomorrow I will open the altar, open her to take the body, under the noon sun, a fire...... It will definitely make her soul fly away, and she will not be able to be reborn! ”
I was terrified when I listened in the back room, watching the ghost woman leave, my grandfather was about to come into my house, I hurriedly turned over on the kang and pretended to be asleep.
It's just that I didn't sleep all night, and my grandfather stayed in the house for a long time, and I didn't know that I really fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was already night, and the house was pitch black, so I must have slept.
Thinking about my mother, I cautiously climbed out of the window, and by the moonlight, hurried in the direction of the mass grave.
I often go there to worship my mother, but I never go there at night, and along the way, I was inexplicably a little scared, but when I thought that those bad people wanted a fire to burn my mother's soul away, I had to grit my teeth and run in the dark.
The village was quiet and weird, and even the common barking of dogs and cicadas in the countryside was gone, and I became more and more uneasy in my heart, and finally ran out of the village, and found that there was a heavy fog outside, and the hazy moonlight did not come in, and it was pitch black, and I could only see the distance of two or three meters in front of me.
I retreated in my heart, but when I saw a red shadow appear in the fog, I was overjoyed, thinking it was my mother, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the red shadow......
But after a short run, I realized that something was wrong, there was a red shadow ahead, only a dark wilderness, and most importantly, I couldn't see far in the fog, and I found that I was lost.
The young man was so frightened that I cried out in an instant, and I didn't pay attention to the soles of my feet, and I tripped over a stone and fell to the ground, and my hands were frayed and bloodied.
Angry, I got up and threw the stone into the fog, and continued to run in one direction, but the fog seemed to be endless, and I was almost exhausted, and I still couldn't run to the end.
Tired and afraid, his body was crooked, so he sat down, and found a bloody stone at his feet, and subconsciously picked it up to take a look, but found that this was not the one he had just thrown out.
So I didn't run far with Ben, but went in circles in circles!
In an instant, my hairs stood up, and there was an inexplicable gust of wind, and my body was full of sweat, which was blown by the yin wind, and I trembled.
After all, I was young, all kinds of predicaments, and even felt that I was going to die in this fog, so I simply wailed and cried, shouting: "Mother, I'm afraid, mother, I'm so afraid!" ”
"Don't be afraid, come to Mom!" A gentle voice sounded near me, I subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a touch of red in the fog, I was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and walked towards the red.
Just after taking two steps, I suddenly realized that my mother was a fool, even if she died, and the expression she saw several times was very wooden, not good at words, and it was absolutely impossible to talk to me so gently!
Who the hell is that man standing in the fog!
Wrong!
...... standing in the fog Is it human?
