Chapter 331: The Ghost Knocks on the Door
It's not the first time I've erected a monument for someone, and besides, people have already been buried safely, and when the monument is erected, there is a chance that nothing bad will happen. Therefore, erecting a monument is a relatively easy thing for me to do.
The night before the monument was set, I went to the neighboring village one day earlier as usual and took Liu Yunjiu with me. Leave Tang Wei at home and take care of Jiang Yifeng, who has not recovered from his hand injury.
The village chief took good care of me, and even though the two of us came, he still vacated the yard for a dozen of us to live that day and let the two of us stay.
Since the small courtyard is relatively spacious and there are many rooms, that night, the two of us slept in one room each. The room I slept in was far away from the gate, and Liu Yunjiu lived closer to the gate.
In the countryside, people generally rest early, firstly because there are fewer entertainment activities, and secondly, because it costs money to light the lights at night. Therefore, after dinner, I chatted for a while at the village chief's house, and when I saw that it was dark, I went back to rest, thinking that I had nourished enough spirit and would not delay the erection of the monument tomorrow.
When I got back to the yard, I washed hastily and lay down on the bed, and since I was fine, I quickly fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, I was awakened by a series of rapid and irregular knocks on the door.
"Little coffin! Little coffin? Did you sleep? "The knock on the door sounded rapidly outside, and Liu Yunjiu kept shouting anxiously outside.
I know Liu Yunjiu's character, it's so late, if it weren't for something important, he wouldn't have come to bother me.
Thinking like this, the drowsiness in my mind was suddenly dispelled, and I got out of bed with a piece of clothing and opened the door.
Outside the door, Liu Yunjiu stood there sweating profusely.
At this time, the weather was still very cold, and he was obviously very thinly dressed, but he was sweating a lot. This made me frown, and my tone couldn't help but become serious, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
"Little coffin, I ......" Liu Yunjiu seemed to be a little unspeakable, I looked at him with doubts, and waited quietly for his answer. He snorted for a long time, and finally whispered to me: "Little coffin, I may have hit a ghost!" ”
"Hit the ghost?" I listened and looked at him from head to toe seriously, and then, I couldn't help frowning. Liu Yunjiu's body has a faint layer of yin energy, and it seems that what he said seems to be true!
After a moment's hesitation, I turned to the side and let him in.
Liu Yunjiu stood outside the door and didn't move, I raised my eyebrows at him and asked, "What's wrong?" Come in! Come in and talk to me about it. ”
Liu Yunjiu shook his head, pointed in the direction of the gate and said to me: "Little coffin, I hit a ghost over there, let's go over there and have a look." ”
Although I was puzzled that he uncharacteristically did not immediately obey my orders on such a simple issue, I still nodded and said, "Okay, then you wait for me." ”
As I spoke, I turned back into the house and closed the door.
As I walked inside, I put on the clothes I had just draped casually over my body. I walked to the bed, took out the package I usually carried with me from under the pillow, opened it, rummaged through it, found the compass I usually used to determine the direction of feng shui, and stuffed it into my clothes.
Packing up the package and standing up, I took a step forward and felt something was wrong.
Looking out the window, I was surprised to see that the moonlight was covered with a faint layer of blood. At this moment, it was shining into the room through the half-open window, and it was cast on the bed, which happened to shine on the place where I had just slept. The night breeze blew in through the window, and I couldn't help but shiver and frown slightly.
I stood in front of the bed, hesitated, turned around again, opened the package again, took out a few new pieces of yellow paper, cut my fingers, took a few drops of blood, dripped them on cinnabar, mixed them with a brush, drew a few yellow runes, and put them in my pocket.
When I opened the door again, Liu Yunjiu was standing at the door, looking at me with straight eyes. His face was even more ugly than it had just been, and I straightened my sleeves and said to him, "Let's go." ”
Liu Yunjiu led the way in front, and I followed behind, following very slowly.
He seemed impatient, but he couldn't help but tell me what had happened to him, instead of urging me to hurry up.
"Little coffin, you don't know. About an hour or so ago, I heard someone knocking at the door, and it was silent, and you probably didn't hear it. I got up and opened the door, but when I opened the door, there was no one outside! I thought I had misheard, and was going back to sleep, but before I could get to the door of my room, there was another knock. I had to look back, but outside, there was no one! ”
"An hour ago?" I asked casually.
Liu Yunjiu subconsciously replied: "Yes, it was about an hour ago." ”
"Oh." I stopped, "Then why didn't you wake me up at that time?" Just ...... by a ghost No, maybe a ghost, tossed for more than an hour? Sixth brother, when did you have the interest to play this kind of game with ghosts? ”
Liu Yunjiu was stunned and did not answer.
I didn't intend to embarrass him here, but when I looked at him and saw that he didn't answer, I walked myself towards the gate.
Liu Yunjiu followed behind me, silent.
I walked to the gate and lightly touched the door with my hand.
This yard is quite old, and when it was built, I didn't pay much attention to it. As a result, the gate, which was already in disrepair, was actually not very strong, and the bolts were rotting out of shape.
When I touched it so lightly, the door creaked and creaked.
I turned my head to look at Liu Yunjiu, waiting for him to give me an explanation.
Liu Yunjiu said: "Little coffin master, why don't we go out and have a look?" ”
"No one knocked on the door, why should I go out and have a look?" I asked, "Besides, this door is so noisy, why didn't I hear someone knocking on the door outside?" Sixth brother, what are you hiding from me? ”
Liu Yunjiu's face was a little embarrassed, but he still insisted on going out to have a look.
I frowned, looked at him again, and couldn't help laughing: "Sixth brother, is there really a ghost outside, don't you know when you look out through the crack in the door?" You have yin and yang eyes, you can see ghosts, and at most I can only feel the presence of yin energy. At this point, you are much better than me, why do you have to come to me? Unless ......"
I could feel that when I said this, the muscles of the person next to me suddenly tensed, the thick yin qi spread, and the eyes began to become a little wrong.
He said, "Little coffin, what are you doing with so much?" Wouldn't you know everything when you go out and see? If there's nothing, then we'll just go back and rest. It's just a glance, little coffin, what are you afraid of? ”
Liu Yunjiu's words were obviously threatening, which just confirmed that he had begun to panic in his heart. He was in a hurry to get me out of this yard, maybe outside, and had some unusual 'surprise' in store for me? Who will say clearly?
"Heh, you're going to threaten me?" I smiled, already thinking about the idea that had just occurred in the room. But I didn't care, and continued with what I might have provoked him, "Unless, you are not Liu Yunjiu, who are you?" Pretending to be the sixth brother to trick me out, what do you want to do? ”
