They chatted outside, and inside the outhouse, my second uncle and I sat on either side of the coffin. And Tang Xiao sat next to me.

Since no one came to worship anymore, Xiaofeng and the six of them didn't have to continue to kneel there. Instead, they began to find their own corners to rest for a while. After all, it's only a little past eight o'clock, and I don't know how long the night will be!

Listen to the chatter outside. Listen and listen, I don't know who brought the topic to the three babies.

"Isn't it strange to you? Since the old patriarch committed suicide and was hospitalized last time, these three children have disappeared! No one is alive, no one is dead! ”

"Yes! If you don't, I really don't pay attention. Where can these three children go at such a young age? ”

As he spoke, someone asked the village chief, "O village chief! Don't you know where these three children went? ”

The village chief was hesitant to ask, and he didn't know how to answer.

I felt that something wasn't quite right! But what was wrong with me, I couldn't tell for a while.

In order to divert the topic, Fat Qiao began to play a round: "Oh, this long night, it seems a little unbearable to rely on it like this!" By the way, do you have a supermarket, a commissary, or anything like that? ”

One of the villagers nodded: "Yes! Just a short distance to the east, there is a kiosk! ”

"That's fine! Let's go buy something to eat and come back! Eat and talk at the same time! ”

As he spoke, he stood up and greeted me: "Lin Shuo, go!" Let's go to the commissary! ”

Hearing Qiao Fatzi's words, I walked out of the outhouse with Tang Xiao. Then, we took two more villagers out of the old patriarch's house. All the way to the commissary.

Due to the backwardness of the village, there is not much in the commissary. Qiao Fat bought a few soft Chinese. It is said that this is still an early year, but because the price is too high, it has not been sold. I happened to meet Qiao Fat Man today, and I gave the bag directly!

Then, Fat Qiao bought drinks, instant noodles and other food, and almost bought half of the commissary. The owner of Le's commissary can't close his mouth!

However, Fat Joe doesn't seem to think it's enough. So, he took away the only box of white candles left in the house. In addition, I brought a few flashlights and more than a dozen batteries.

And just like that, we started to walk back with a full load.

There were five of us, each carrying several plastic bags in his hands. It can be seen how many things Qiao Fat Man bought!

Fortunately, with flashlight lighting, we can see the dirt road under our feet.

As I walked, I suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps behind us!

I couldn't help but be stunned! You know, I'm at the back of the line. There's probably no one behind me! So, whose footsteps are they from?

I couldn't help but glance back and find that there was nothing behind me.

I couldn't help but shine around with the flashlight, but I still didn't find anything.

That's weird!

Tang Xiao, who was walking in front, also found that I didn't follow at this time, so he couldn't help but walk back and asked me, "Lin Shuo, why didn't you leave?" ”

I didn't want her to be scared, so I didn't say anything. So, we continued to walk back.

I had barely taken a few steps when suddenly, I felt a pair of hands push me from behind. Unsuspecting, I was directly pushed and stumbled!

"Who?"

I couldn't help but turn around and yell.

But there was no one behind me! What the hell is going on?

If hearing footsteps is my hallucination, then how should I explain that moment?

Hearing my voice, the fat man in front of them also walked back. He asked me, "What's wrong?" What nerves do you have on this big night? ”

I ignored him and said bluntly, "There's something following behind us!" It just shoved me! ”

After listening to my words, Qiao Fatzi took a picture in Zhou with a flashlight. After seeing nothing, he said nonchalantly, "Okay!" You kid must not have had a good rest lately. That's why I'm so suspicious! Wait a while to go back to Master Qiao, I will arrange a place for you to sleep well......"

"Wait a minute!"

Before Qiao Fatzi's words were finished, Tang Xiao on the side suddenly exclaimed: "Lin Shuo is right!" Someone did push him just now! ”

Hearing this, everyone wondered how she was so sure?

Tang Xiao pointed to the position of my lower back, and said word by word: "Look here!" ”

After listening to Tang Xiao's words, Qiao Fat looked at my back.

Immediately, I heard a gasp!

"What's wrong?"

I couldn't help but ask. But no one answered me!

In desperation, I put my flashlight on the ground. Then, I took off my clothes and turned around to take a look. My face changed suddenly!

I saw that at the back of my clothes, I don't know when there was an extra pair of bloody handprints! Look at the size, it should be a small child! However, it is dark all around, how can a child run out? What's more, even if there is, we won't be unaware of it!

Seeing this strange scene, none of us knew what to say!

In the end, it was Qiao Fat who said, "Okay, don't scare yourself yet." Regardless of whether the other party is a human or a ghost, there should be no malicious intent. Let's hurry back! There are a lot of people in there, and the dirty things naturally don't dare to go in! ”

Listening to Qiao's words, I nodded. Think he has a lot of point! What's more, there is still my second uncle in charge there, and with him, any crooked and evil ways must be avoided!

So, I told the two villagers to go ahead. Qiao Fat followed, and then Tang Xiao. And I'm still at the back of the road.

I took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and secretly held a blood coin in my hand. As long as the owner of those bloody handprints dares to appear again, I will definitely give it a good look!

Fortunately, we didn't encounter anything strange on the rest of the road.

After returning to the old village chief's house, we told the second uncle what we had encountered before. I also showed him the bloody handprints on the back of my clothes.

After reading the bloody handprints, the second uncle said lightly: "Don't talk about ghosts in the middle of the night!" You've been talking about him just now, and of course he's coming back to you! ”

After listening to the second uncle's words, Qiao Fat quickly reacted: "You mean that it was the third baby who attacked us on the road just now?" ”

The second uncle nodded and said, "That's right! But the third baby is not bad. Although it was a tragic death, it did not become a demon! I believe that I will be reincarnated soon! ”

I was slightly relieved to hear that it wasn't some evil spirit looking for trouble.

Fat Joe didn't say anything anymore. Just put those food on the table next to them, and tell everyone to eat more and replenish their strength. And he himself ran out with Chinese cigarettes and smoked with the villagers.

Xiaofeng, the six of them didn't eat anything before to keep the spirit. Now that we have bought so much food, we have eaten it directly.

At this moment, suddenly, our eyes went dark! The whole village was plunged into total darkness! Only the two candles and the lantern on the offering table remained, and the flame inside the brazier was still faintly shining.

There is a power outage in the village!

Fortunately, we were all mentally prepared in advance. Otherwise, it is estimated that it will be a false alarm again!

At this time, the village chief ordered two white lanterns to be lit on the mourning shed in the courtyard. Although in this dark night, this little bit of light does not help. However, it can also be a little more reassuring!

Because there are so many bizarre things happening during the day, and now there is a power outage like this. Everyone was nervous!

Joe Fat is definitely a restless lord! Seeing that it was so dark in the house, he took out all the boxes of candles he had bought. Prepare to make a circle around the coffin.

The second uncle didn't stop him! After all, fire is yang, and corpses are yin. Use candles to restrain the yin energy. Although it is said that the effect is not particularly large. However, in this case, we are just doing our best!

Therefore, after the second uncle just told him that he was absolutely not allowed to put out even numbers, he didn't say anything anymore.

After saying yes, Fat Qiao beckoned me to start setting the candles.

Soon, we placed a circle of white candles around the coffin.

That's forty-one!

Then, ignite them one by one.

Suddenly, the whole room lit up!

The second uncle asked me and Qiao Fatzi to light a white candle in each of the four corners of each room to ward off evil.

We did it right away! Now, not only the outhouse, but also the east and west rooms are brightened. The previous gloomy atmosphere suddenly disappeared a lot!

The second uncle looked at the dark gate outside, and asked the village chief to arrange for someone to hang two white lanterns outside the gate.

Fat Joe volunteered to go out and help.

Now, we're not so scared anymore. Since there was nothing to do, Xiaofeng, the three girls who kept filial piety, and Tang Xiao all fell asleep against the wall. Only Deng Hu and the three of them kept putting burning paper into the brazier.

The second uncle told them that while they were fine, everyone would take turns to rest, and they wouldn't be able to open their spirits for a while.

So, the fat man Qiao hugged the quilt and ran to sleep in the mourning shed outside. I leaned against the wall and sat down.

Looking at the candle flames that kept dancing in front of me, and listening to the intermittent chatter of the village chief and the villagers outside, my head began to become groggy. The eyelids are getting heavier and heavier!

Finally, I closed my eyes tiredly.

During this time, both physical and mental exhaustion has been very serious! From Ergouzi, Xiaofeng to the old patriarch, I feel that since I came to this village, I have never rested! So much so that I fell asleep very quickly!
