Volume 1: The Candle Dragon of the South China Sea Chapter 10: The Story of Ghosts

Chen Haoyue arrived in the house and sat directly on the chair next to the bed, I picked up the water on the table and handed it to her, saying, "What do you want to do here, if it's okay, just return the photo, I have to rest early." ”

Chen Haoyue pushed away the water, held the photo in her hand, and asked, "Honestly, you got this thing from there." ”

"This is my grandfather's, what does it have to do with you!"

After saying that, I snatched the photo and hid it in my pocket, after all, this is the only memento that my grandfather left me.

Chen Haoyue looked at me with moist eyes, approached me and comforted me a few words, then took out her mobile phone and handed it to me, I took it and saw that it was a selfie, I was a little dumbfounded, what are you doing with this thing for me?

She didn't look at me right, grabbed the phone with one hand and looked at it, her cheeks were a little red, and said, "Who told you to see this, I let you see this black and white photo." ”

I took her phone again and looked at it, it turned out that my hand had just slipped and pressed the wrong one, and I took out the photo from my pocket, and compared it carefully with the phone, it was exactly the same.

Judging from the age and the texture of the photo, there is no doubt that it was taken at the same time, and the more I looked, the more confused I became, so I simply walked outside the door and smoked a cigarette to calm down.

Chen Haoyue was a little puzzled when she saw me, and said, "This photo of mine was taken by Mrs. He who went to the north to investigate an incident decades ago, and it is said that this matter is very evil. ”

I'm a little curious, what's so evil? She said that Mrs. He did not tell her too much detail about this matter, but she had heard Mrs. He tell him a very strange story.

Chen Haoyue's face was solemn, and she lost the hippie smile she had before.

She took a sip of water to moisten her throat, and said slowly: "When I was a child, I heard my grandmother tell this story, almost thirty years ago, a strange thing happened in a village in the north, according to the local villagers, this is a real thing, once a group of people came to this village one day, and said that if someone is willing to take them up the mountain, they are willing to pay a lot of money, as for what they are doing on the mountain, they did not tell the villagers.

There is a family in this village, the family is poor, the couple has not yet given birth, the man goes up the mountain to hunt every day and is familiar with the situation in the mountain, so he is forced to take over the job, the cold winter and the moon took a group of people into the mountain, and then after half a month the group of people also followed the man back, but just three days after the return her husband died for no reason from a good person, the woman was too reluctant to hide her husband's body in a room, which was covered with a quilt to avoid the sun, The people in the village were also curious to ask her where her husband was, and she said that he was just sick and recuperating at home.

Since her husband's death, the woman washed his face and combed his hair every day, but as the days passed, her husband's body was not damaged at all, and he still remained alive, and this was even more evil in the middle of the night, and the sound of breathing could still be heard under his nose. (It is said that this is the living dead losing their souls)

Sometimes, people in the village are also curious, why can't they afford to get sick in the first place? They went into the house to see what kind of illness they had, and when they entered the house, they saw that they were no different from a living person, just lying motionless on the bed, and the villagers thought it was just a disease, so they ignored it.

But something even stranger happened, and after a year, the woman's husband appeared alive in the village, (it is said that this man is dead, how can he still be alive), but the people in the village asked him curiously where his wife was, and he said that he was also sick and raised at home.

Later, year after year, the couple would take turns getting sick, and later, according to my grandmother, everyone had a "ghost" in their hearts, that is, human consciousness, and without the "ghost" a person would be like a living dead, although he would not die, it would be like a vegetative person.

It is said that the couple has only one "ghost", and the two of them take turns to use it, and they can not die every year, which is very evil. ”

I then asked, "The story is a bit evil, but what does this story have to do with the photos? ”

Chen Haoyue walked to the back of the door, turned to me and smiled at me, and said, "The group of people in this story includes my grandmother and your grandfather. ”

I was taken aback! Then Chen Haoyue said: "This photo was taken before his grandmother He Xiangu followed that group of people into the mountain. ”

I looked at the photo again, and the more I looked at it, the more strange it became, there were obviously eight people in the photo, but I remember that my grandfather's notes said that there were only seven people in the mountain at that time, how could the person in this photo still disappear into thin air?

Later, I told her the story written in my grandfather's notes, Chen Haoyue said that her grandmother didn't tell her half a sentence about this, and I felt more and more that things were a little strange, but it was not early, after sending Chen Haoyue away, I lay on the bed and couldn't sleep at all, and my mind was full of thinking about these things.

After a while, the mobile phone ringtone interrupted my thoughts, I picked it up and saw that it was a fat man, and when I answered the phone, the fat man shouted: Tell me to go out with him for a drink, what kind of wine are you drinking in the middle of the night, I am too lazy to go. I simply hung up the phone and turned off the phone, and I haven't gotten rid of the afternoon anger.

I went to bed again, and for a moment I was completely sleepy, and after half an hour I heard a sharp and powerful knock at the door.

When I opened the door, Chen Haoyue was standing outside the door with a frown, I was a little surprised, why are you looking for me at night?

Chen Haoyue ignored me and said nervously: "The third brother has an accident, hurry up and put on your clothes and follow me to the police station." ”

Seeing that he was a little anxious, he quickly put on his clothes and followed her out, went out and called a taxi, and listened to her in the car, it turned out that the fat man went out to drink alone, and was arrested by several traffic police officers on the road.

The car drove for an hour, turned left and right along the way to the police station, and when we went in, we saw that the fat man was lying on the table in the detention center, and several policemen next to him came over and asked, "Who is the fat man's family?" ”

Chen Haoyue walked over and said, "I am." ”

At first, the policemen thought that Chen Haoyue was the fat man's wife, but it turned out that Chen Haoyue said that he learned that the fat man's parents were divorced and there were no relatives at home.

The two of us asked about the situation, but fortunately there were no other accidents while driving drunk, Chen Haoyue paid the fine and wanted to take someone away, but several policemen said that they could not leave until the next day.

I saw that the fat man's face was red, probably because he had drunk a lot of wine, for fear that he would have another accident, so I asked Chen Haoyue to go back first, and stayed here with the fat man for the night.

Chen Haoyue was sent away, and the policemen also got off work, and only me and the fat man were left in the detention center.

The fat man eased his mind, I saw that his alcohol strength was almost awake, although he always bullied me with that girl on weekdays, but when I thought about it, the fat man was also a poor person and I was not much different, I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him.

The fat man shook his head, I saw that he was a little sober, and quickly took out the sobering medicine he had just bought and fed it to him, after eating, the fat man lit a cigarette, went out and looked around for a while, I looked a little strange and asked him: "What do you see, I haven't drunk enough." ”

"You're done, aren't you?" The fat man looked at me curiously and said.

"This person, whoever hasn't had his head squeezed through the door will come to this place." I said angrily to the fat man.

"What about the picture, show it to me." The fat man asked.

"What a picture, what are you looking at, this thing is evil." I say.

"It's the one at the train station before, your grandfather's."

I was stunned for a moment, where did this fat man know these things, and the girl didn't say anything to him just now.

"It's hard to put into words, my father also has a photo of this, and I lost it when I moved a few years ago." After speaking, the fat man took out his mobile phone and handed it to me, I looked at it, it was really strange, it was exactly the same as my one and Chen Haoyue's.
