It was the first time I had seen a blind old man in the true sense of the word, but I recognized him at a sight, for his features were so obvious, a one-eyed dragon, with few arms and lame legs.

When the blind old man arrived, he first glanced deeply at me with the only remaining somewhat cloudy eyeball, and then walked out into the crowd of onlookers.

I was a little hairy at the sight of the blind old man, and I got goosebumps all over my body.

Then I saw the blind old man, supported by two men, enter the ruffian's yard.

Seeing the blind old man enter the courtyard, the people around him breathed a long sigh of relief, and a look of relief appeared on their faces.

I saw the faces of the crowd, and thought to myself, what is this blind old man capable of making the people of the town trust him so much that he is not even afraid to die like that.

After a while, the blind old man walked out of the courtyard, and at this time his expression was a little solemn, and he looked worried, and after a pause, he frowned in a hoarse voice: "Disperse, inform the mayor, let him arrange for someone to burn this courtyard, along with the corpse, and everyone present today, hurry home and tie a piece of red cloth around your waist." ”

"Living Immortal, please tell me, how did Wei San (ruffian) die like that, what happened?" The crowd of onlookers was full of puzzlement at the blind old man's words, and someone stood up and asked.

The blind old man hesitated, then looked at me again.

I saw the blind old man looking at me again, and I said to myself, what are you doing with me, this old man, could it be that I still have something to do with this?

After a long while, the blind old man said slowly: "Wei San died more than a month ago, you should leave here quickly, go home and tie a red cloth strip, so as not to be caught by ghosts." ”

As soon as the blind old man's words fell, the faces of the people around him suddenly changed, and their eyes widened in disbelief, but they didn't dare to doubt the blind old man's words, so they scattered and retreated, and ran home to tie red cloth strips.

What the? Wei San has been dead for more than a month! So who am I hitting with a slingshot with cow eggs these days? I was also shocked by what the blind old man had said, and an atmosphere of fear enveloped me almost instantly.

As for the blind old man, I could sense from the attitude of the crowd that he did not lie to others, but I always felt that the blind old man had not said everything, as if he had hidden some of the most important things.

Come to think about it, I still don't think about it so much, so Niu Dan and I also plan to go home temporarily and tie up the red cloth strips, and then say, Niu Dan and I have been in that yard.

Just as I was about to leave here, the blind old man suddenly stopped me: "You are Qin Guang." ”

Hearing the blind old man call me, I stopped suspiciously, turned to look at him, and nodded.

"Hehe, I didn't expect time to be so fast, in a blink of an eye, you are thirteen years old, why don't you come to me? Didn't your father tell you that he was coming to me when you were thirteen? The blind old man smiled at me and whispered.

I was a little surprised that this blind old man still remembered me, and recognized me at a glance, as if he had been waiting for me to find him for the past thirteen years, but his smile made me feel a little eerie and terrible, and my heart was a little hairy, which made me not know how to speak for a while, and I was stunned for a while.

Seeing that I was in a daze and didn't speak, the blind old man smiled again, pushed away the two people who were supporting him, and asked them to leave here too, and then he walked over to me, and said, "Help me home, by the way, recognize the way, you will often come to me in the future." ”

I did not refuse the blind old man's request, thinking that it was the same thing I should do, and I immediately told Niu Dan to let him go back first, and then I took the blind old man's one-arm and followed him slowly towards his residence.

The blind old man walked very slowly, and along the way, he did not say anything other than to show me the way, and after I followed him all the way, I found that the blind old man's residence was actually in an old house on the edge of the South Irrigation Pit.

It was an old house built of adobe, which looked like a coffin from a distance, which made people feel creepy at once, and the coffin-like house, close to the edge of the pit in the south irrigation pit, saw the house in front of me, and I suddenly felt a little uneasy in my heart.

I took a closer look at the blind old man, his hair was a little gray, his face was covered with furrow-like wrinkles, his chin was a little sparse beard, and although the only remaining eye was a little cloudy, there was an obscure light in the depths of his eyes, and from the outward appearance, the blind old man's age was definitely more than eighty years old, but his body without an arm still looked very strong.

It's just that I don't understand why the blind old man deliberately asked me to send him back, and it seems that he has been waiting for me for thirteen years, and the words he said to everyone in front of the ruffian's house today must have hidden some truth.

"Let's go inside."

While I was thinking in my mind, the blind old man and I had already arrived at his house, the door was unlocked, there were no windows around, the light in the house was a little dim, and in this hot weather, the house was still very cool, even a little cold.

The blind old man's room did not contain much, a bed, a rocking chair, a wooden table, a few broken books on the table, and nothing else, and I did not even find his utensils for washing and eating.

"Living Immortal, do you have something to tell me when you asked me to come to you?"

After entering the house, the blind old man lay directly on the rocking chair, and then began to stare at me, I was a little uncomfortable by his staring, so I called him a living fairy like everyone else, and asked.

"That Wei San drowned in the Nanguan pit more than a month ago." The blind old man slowly withdrew his gaze from staring at me, sighed, and said in a deep voice.

The blind old man seemed to have said about the ruffian's death before, but this time he clearly stated the place of his death.

I suddenly remembered that I had heard onlookers talk about the ruffian Wei San who drowned, and the corpses were already decomposed, and that kind of situation was like the corpse had been soaked in water.

"Then why can he still live like a normal person for more than a month?" I hurriedly asked, and I was puzzled by this.

"Because he's a corpse!"

"Corpses?" I've heard of ghosts, I've heard of zombies and stuff like that, but this is the first time I've heard of this corpse.

"Yes, ghosts like corpses are also relatively peculiar existences, this kind of ghosts, when they die, their souls do not leave the body, he actually thinks that he is not dead, and he can live like a normal person during the day, but once he arrives at night, he must return to the place where he died, but he must not be discovered, if he is discovered, then his soul cannot continue to be attached to the corpse that has long died."

At this point, the blind old man got up from his rocking chair again, and a solemn look appeared in his single eye, as if he was extremely worried about something.

Hearing the ghost old man say this, I somewhat understood, when the ruffian Wei San returned to the place where he died last night, he must have been discovered, and this could be heard in the mouth of one of the onlookers, and at that time I did hear someone say that he saw Wei San go to the Nanguan pit.

But I noticed that the blind old man seemed to be a little restless at this time, and thought to myself that there must be something more terrible about the corpse.

Sure enough, after the blind old man pondered for a moment, he continued: "The bad thing is that someone found him, if the corpse's own body slowly decomposes, then he will also find that he is dead, and it is nothing, but he was awakened after being discovered, I am afraid that his soul will turn into a ghost, which will plague countless living people." ”

"That living immortal, can't you take that powerful ghost?" I asked with some confusion, thinking that since the blind old man was called a living immortal by the people in the town, he must have some means.

The blind old man shook his head a little gloomily, sighed lightly and said: "This terrible ghost was a vicious person before his death, and he should have been sent to the eighteenth layer of hell, but there was a big event in the underworld, resulting in no ghost to come to hook his soul, this kind of terrible ghost, I have no way to subdue him." ”

Then, the blind old man gave me another meaningful look, and continued: "Now that the ghost has become a terrible ghost, I am afraid that he will come out tonight to make trouble, and it is very likely that he will attack you or the people around you. ”

"Looking for me? Why? "I was terrified, even though I had beaten that ruffian with a slingshot with a slingshot, it was not enough for him to resent me, and the first one was to harm me.

"He died because of you, and don't you notice that you can run into him almost every day for more than a month?" The blind old man walked slowly to the table, took out a pen and a blank piece of paper, wrote a word, and then said softly.

When he said this, I was even more confused, how could he die because of me? But if you think about it carefully, in the past month or so, that is, after the ruffian Wei San became a corpse, I did run into him every day.

However, the next words of the blind old man surprised me, and the blind old man clearly told me about the big and small things that had happened to me in the past month or so, even the fact that I and Niu Dan were stopped by Wei San for the first time more than a month ago, snatched our bird eggs, and was injured by me with a slingshot, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

I'm amazed why he knows everything about me so well, is he really a god, otherwise how can all this be explained?

The old man also said that on that day, Wei San went to the Nanguan pit, and when he was fishing, he was mistaken for me by the water ghost under the pit, so he was mistakenly dragged under the water and drowned there.

Moreover, the day Wei San died also happened to be my thirteenth birthday.
