It's a human head, but it's actually a bit one-sided, it's a skull to be exact, and it looks like it has just been dug out of the soil, and there is still a lot of soil left on it.

"This is—" I looked at the skull in his hand in amazement, and my brother's expression looked a little frightened in the dim and flickering light.

"It's a human head."

"I can see that," I sat up straight, a little confused, "what does this thing have to do with saving me?" ”

"It matters." My brother was adamant, "That's what you have under the curse." ”

"It?"

"To be precise, when this person was alive, you listened to me tell you carefully." As if telling a story, he said, "It's farther and more complicated than we thought. ”

"This person's name is Jiang Ji, when I haven't gone to another world yet, in order to save you, the investigation started from the ghost spell, it took a while, it was really difficult, but in the end I really found this person."

So I went to this man and tried to get started with him, but when I was looking for him, I encountered something very strange, no one knew about the existence of this person, as if he did not exist in this world, no one knew about him. I couldn't find it, I didn't know if I was dead or alive. ”

"It wasn't until later that I learned from a ghost that the man had died a long time ago, and that he had become a ghost after his death, and that he no longer existed."

"I had no choice but to pin my hopes on another world, so I went to the rift valley to find a mirror, and when I arrived in another world, I spent a long time looking for it, and it turned out that this Jiang had long since died."

"But luckily, his bones were still there, so I dug up his grave and got the skull back."

I could feel the twists and turns of the process just by listening to my brother, but I still didn't understand it, so I asked him, "Then what does it have to do with the ghost spell on my body?" ”

My brother looked at me and said seriously, "This has something to do with our grandfather." ”

"Grandpa?!" I was stunned when I heard this: "How can it have anything to do with his old man?" ”

"I couldn't believe it at first, but after finding Jiang Ji, I learned that he was a very good friend of my grandfather, and when they were young, they were sworn brothers." My brother said: "You should know that the two worlds are opposites, but there is still the same relationship, if in the other world, this person is grandpa's brother, then in this world, he at least knows grandpa, so if you want to know why he will cast a ghost spell on you, we will start investigating with grandpa." ”

When I heard him, his whole head was bigger: "But... Grandpa has passed away! ”

"I know." He frowned and said: "We have neglected the most critical information from the beginning, that is, the people in our family may be related to the ghost eradication world, and if we investigate now, we can only look for the things that grandpa left back then." ”

"But if our family really has something to do with the ghost world, then why don't everyone know each other? No, there should always be one or two people who know each other. ”

"That's what I'm most confused about." My brother said: "If they are really from the ghost world, how can they not leave any traces, and we have not found it for so many years, and no one has ever mentioned it?" ””

"There are two possibilities." I thought about it for a moment and said, "First, unless someone doesn't want us to know, it's possible, but why wouldn't you want us to know?" Second, maybe no one really knows, this is unlikely, people have left a name and a goose, if grandpa has really stayed in the ghost world, it is impossible to leave no traces at all, then, in addition to removing these two, there is another possibility, that is, the third possibility. ”

I glanced at my brother, and when he saw that I had a hung appetite, he urged him to hurry up, and I hesitated for a moment and said, "The third possibility, maybe the people who know, are dead." ”

When he heard me say this, his face changed, and he said, "What do you mean?" All killed by grandpa? ”

"No, I didn't say that." I waved my hand and retorted, "What I mean is that grandpa is from the previous generation, even if he really appeared in the ghost world, how old are the people who were with him back then?" It's likely that he has passed away, and then no one cares about these things, and they don't tell anyone about them, so after so many years now, it is likely that no one knows. ”

"But why don't they tell anyone else?" My brother chased after me and asked, I was also at a loss, I thought hard for a long time, but there was still no result, I shook my head and said, "Then why don't you think grandpa told us?" If it were you, would you say? ”

My brother looked at the skull with dirt in his hand, snorted, frowned, and said, "I probably understand, grandpa didn't say it, maybe because there was something he couldn't say and didn't tell us, then it was probably not told to my father." ”

"Not necessarily." I said, "I may have told my father, but my father didn't tell us, I'm afraid it's not so easy to find this Jiang Ji right now." ”

"When my grandfather died, he left behind many relics, and I remember that my father put them all away, maybe they can be found now." My brother got out of bed, grabbed my hand and said, "Go, look for it." ”

"Move lightly, don't be afraid that your second uncle will wake up." I followed him out of bed, he was still holding the skull in his arms, opened the door and was about to go out, I hurriedly grabbed my brother and said, "Why are you still holding it?" Just leave it alone. ”

My brother was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and patted his brain: "I'm too anxious to forget, let's go." ”

He placed the skull on the table, and we both turned off the light, opened the door a crack, and crept out in the darkness.

Open the door of the hall, the courtyard seemed dead and cold at night, a coolness blew over, my brother walked in front, just out of the door he was stunned for a moment, looked up and said, "It's raining." ”

I walked out, I felt the rain falling on my body, I couldn't help but shake my shoulders, it is not strange that it rains in autumn, walking in the yard, I can hear the crisp sound of rain falling on the leaves.

Our old house has three rooms, east, west and north, my brother and I have always lived in the east house, now the second uncle lives in the west house, and my grandfather used to live in the north house, since they died, the house has been empty, and no one lives in it, and we come back to live in the east house, basically not going over there.

Now my brother and I walked to the front of the north room, there was a lock on the door, the lock was no longer in shape, I took it off and pushed the door in, and suddenly there was a smell of dust and mold in the room, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

With my childhood memories, I reached for the light bulb switch, walked along the wall, found it, pressed it twice, and there was no movement.

"The light is broken?" In the dark, we both froze for a moment, and hurriedly took out our mobile phones to light, the rain outside the window seemed to be falling heavily, and the raindrops hit the windowsill, crackling, sounding as if someone was knocking on the window.

Hold up the mobile phone to see, the room is full of white cloth, all the furniture is covered with white cloth, this is after the death of the grandfather, the mother and father vacated the house, there is still the original appearance inside, the objects are all covered with white cloth is also the province of dust.

"No one has been in this house for so many years, and the white cloth is covered with dust." My brother held up his phone to see that the whole house was very old, the beams were covered with cobwebs, and the walls were peeling off and yellowing, looking like it was deserted.

"Look and see if you can find anything." I held my phone up, walked to the table, lifted the white cloth, scattered the dust, covered my mouth and nose and opened the drawer to see, there were all kinds of old objects thrown inside, all of which belonged to my grandfather.

There are old-fashioned stamps, two-corner banknotes, red armbands, food stamps used in the past, etc., all kinds of old things, according to my impression, my grandfather should have been a doctor when he was young, and the small clinic opened in the village was a traditional Chinese medicine.

When I was a child, I had the impression that at that time, I often used a small iron scale to measure medicine, and then I didn't know why I didn't become a doctor, maybe I didn't like to make less money.

I rummaged through things, and I didn't see anything of value or usefulness for a long time, and my brother rummaged on the other side, and he searched the shoe cabinet and the things under the old TV, but he didn't find anything.

"There's nothing!" Under the light, he looked disgraced, his face was full of doubts, and he said: "I have found all the places that can be found, except for some old objects, there is nothing!" ”

The two of us stood in the room in the dark, looking at each other, and at that moment, I suddenly smelled a very strong smell of medicine, a bit like Chinese medicine.

At first, I thought I had smelled it wrong, but when I looked closely, I realized that there was indeed a strange smell in the air.

My brother also asked, looking around with a puzzled face: "Where did the strange smell come from?" ”
