Chapter Twenty-Five: Mother-in-law with Twin Eyes
The ghost looked at me cautiously, for fear that something wrong would upset me.
"Brother, have you really recovered your memory?" She asked me tentatively.
"If I hadn't remembered, how would I have known so much." Out of desperation, I had to lie to the spirits so that I could know the answer.
"Brother." The ghost threw himself into my arms, tears like a kite with a broken string. I didn't expect her to react so much, and it made me understand that everything that happened in my hometown was not child's play, and it was not as simple as it was written in the story. If these are all things that I have personally experienced, think about Grandpa Zhang's head in his hands, the five big coffins standing at the head of the village, and Aunt Li's black hole eyes, each of which makes people shudder, this is indeed terrifying.
"Ling'er told me, what happened?" I ran my hand through the ghost's long hair.
The ghost sobbed and distanced himself from me, "Oniye, you haven't recovered your memory?" But? ”
I knew what she was asking and I knew she was struggling, so I grabbed my phone, searched for the novel, and handed it to the ghost.
"You look at this novel, it records all the things that happened to me, and I don't have a memory, you are the one in the know. Now my life is not normal at all. "I try to keep my emotions steady and try to make myself less irritable.
The ghost quickly scanned the novel and wiped away his tears, "Whether this novel is true or false, you can't know anything from me, brother, don't deceive me, you have to be considerate of me and understand my distress." ”
"If you really have that ability, help me get rid of the female ghost that haunts me first." I don't know why I'm saying that, maybe I'm expecting something, or trying to prove something, and I have mixed feelings.
The ghost flipped through his phone and nodded, "Okay, I'll help you get rid of her today, although I can't tell you, but you can find the truth of the matter from my actions, and as for this novel, I will also try to find the author." ”
Looking at her determined expression, "Is there anything I need to do?" ”
The ghost nodded, took out a pen and paper, and quickly listed some things on it, "I made a list of things I need for you, you go out and buy them back, it's best to spend your roommate tonight, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better." The ghost said as he handed me the list.
I took over and looked at the list, "Paper people? What do you want a paper figure to do? ”
"Originally, it was not needed, you said that you have been pestered for a long time, so I will sell two paper figures to her first to see if she can stand it."
Although I had reservations about the novel and the ghost's handling of paranormal events, I still proved that the content of the novel was true, and I didn't want her to suffer too much alone.
"Okay, I'll go back as soon as I go."
When An Chen saw me come out, he immediately posted it, "What? What is there to quarrel with your brothers and sisters, with such a beautiful sister, it's too late to hurt, who is still quarreling like you. ”
I looked at his squint, and gave him a blank look.
"There's a chance to see hell, do you want it?"
"Really, fake?"
"What else do I cook? If you want to see it, follow me to buy some things and come back, so that you can serve the ghosts. I whispered in his ear, "This ghost is still a ghost." ”
I deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "Yan Ghost", so I didn't believe that he was not moved.
Sure enough, An Chen jumped up excitedly, "I'll just say, if there is a good thing, you will definitely not forget your brother, you came back from your hometown this time is a little different." ”
"Do you know where to buy these things?" I handed the list written by the ghost to An Chen.
An Chen just glanced at it, "Just these things, don't worry, follow me and there will definitely be no one missing." ”
I looked back at the ghost in a daze, and followed An Chen out the door.
The paper doll written on the list of ghosts, we went to several places and didn't have it, here is the last one or I haven't bought it, An Chen is like a deflated ball, and he has long been desperate. As soon as we went out, an old man who was squatting in front of the shroud shop to tell fortunes called out to us.
"Young man, I see that you two have already run all over the shroud shops in this alley, is there anything you haven't bought?"
I looked the old man up and down, with gray hair, folds on his face, and a navy blue shirt, holding a hand-reading drawing, constantly fanning the wind.
It didn't seem to be that hot, but he looked very hot.
"Uncle, I really told you to be right. I don't have any paper figurines to buy. An Chen quickly said it, and I didn't want to say anything more.
"Then come with me! I'll take you to a place where you have everything, and you can have whatever you want. "After listening to this old man's words, my scalp was a little numb, and I resisted it from the bottom of my heart.
"Come on, uncle, you lead the way." This An Chen is familiar with everyone, and it is not clear if this uncle has any other purpose, so he followed the farts and left. What if this is a pyramid scheme? But after thinking about it, it shouldn't be possible to be squatting at the door of the shroud shop at such an old age, so I followed.
The old man led us around and around to a narrow door and stopped. The door was covered with moss, and there were cobwebs hanging from the corners. The "creaking" sound of opening the door is particularly harsh and makes people itch a little bit. We went into the house with him, and it was dark and dark, and there was no light on, so I turned on my phone and used the light of my phone to shine into the house.
There were a mess of paper figures, coins, and gold ingots in the room. I took two steps forward, and a paper figure suddenly appeared in front of me, the paper figure was covered with white paper, the only difference was that the hair on the paper man's head seemed to be real. I touched it with my hand, and sure enough, it was real hair.
"Uncle, uncle?"
When I heard An Chen's shout, I couldn't help but be shocked that the old man was still leading the way in front, but he was nowhere to be seen when he entered the house.
"You will die in a raging fire." Out of nowhere, an old woman appeared, she stood in front of An Chen, clasped his head with both hands, and rolled her eyes upward.
I hurriedly stepped forward and pushed her away, she stared at me, and I realized that her eyes were actually double pupils, and I was so frightened that I took a step back.
"Mother-in-law, don't blame my friend, my friend is not sensible, so is there a way to crack my life?"
"Destiny is decided, and if there is change, there will be sacrifices. As for that fire, it's not necessarily when it happened. My mother-in-law only said one word, and then she kept staring at me, and I panicked when I saw it. She put her hands on my forehead and rolled her eyes up. There were already two pupils, and she had two pupils, one turned up, and the other looked at me, and I could clearly see my shadow in her pupils.
After a long while, "Boy, I can't count your life. She was a little panting, her voice was extremely tired, but what she said hit my heart violently.
No matter what the ability of the person in front of me is, but what she said can't even count my life. Even a liar will give a reason to collect money, but she only says, "I can't count your life." ”
I don't know if she's playing tricks, but what is my fate? I believe that if there is no such absolute, my destiny is in my own hands.
