Chapter 6: Stories Heard

Listen to the story

This is the story I heard my dad tell.

At my bewilderment, this story struck me out for a childhood.

Do you know how to deceive corpses? It was a cold, dead corpse that was rushed by a small animal without warning, causing the corpse to breathe in a little more aura, and then suddenly sit up, stand up, and jump up from its static state. The story I heard when I was a kid was about an old lady who was a swindler, and it was a bit long, hoping to let me go in the flaw.

In rural families, if someone dies, his or her body is displayed in the hall, which is the one in the middle of the three rooms, as a sign of solemnity. And let your loved ones keep watch for as long as you want, always keeping watch over the spirit in case a mouse, cat, or dog comes near. In the feudal period, there was an old lady in a village, who died quietly when she was old, but this old lady had no children and was alone, so no one came to her to keep a vigil, and the people in the village couldn't bear to let the old lady's body be parked alone, so they chose three people to guard the old lady's spirit, they were all middle-aged people with strong blood, and they were also three brothers. The boss brought a deck of playing cards with him before he went, and he was afraid that everyone would be bored and doze off until midnight. Sure enough, in the second half of the night, everyone's sleepiness came up, and the boss took out the playing cards prepared in advance and said, "Let's play poker, and we won't be sleepy when we play poker." "The second brother and the third brother both said yes. It was supposed to be for refreshment, but who knew that it would be addicted to playing, and no one noticed that a mouse ran to the old lady and sniffed around her face, and the old lady's face twitched without warning, scaring the mouse away, but the three brothers didn't notice, they were still playing poker. The three of them played poker together, only the eldest was completely facing away from the old lady, and the second and third were facing each other, one facing each other and the other facing sideways. The old lady behind the boss opened her eyes, but she didn't move, just after they finished playing another game of cards, the old lady had already put her hand straight up, and the second lady who was facing her looked up and saw it, so frightened that her face changed color. He made an excuse that he was urgent, and staggered out, but the eldest and the third still didn't notice the old lady's abnormality. When the third child sorted out the playing cards, he jumped out of one, slightly sideways his face, just on the old lady who sat up straight, the third child was also startled, and said that he ran out in a hurry, and when he ran to the door, he was still wildly gesturing towards the boss, asking him to come out quickly, the boss saw it and thought he was in a hurry, and asked him to hurry up with a disgusted face. At this time, the old lady had already stood up, standing stiffly behind the boss, the boss felt that something was standing behind him, and turned his head to look, a pair of hands with long nails almost poked him. He immediately reacted that it was a corpse, and quickly crawled away, the old lady jumped a step, and stood behind the boss, the boss ran out and immediately got under the table, the old lady jumped over with him, and hit the table when he got to the edge of the table. But the old lady did not give up hitting the table, the boss was very worried that the table would rot, suddenly the old lady stopped hitting the table, the boss was still wondering, he heard a sound overhead, looked up, the old lady's old nails pierced the top of the table. Taking advantage of the old lady's fingers that could not be pulled out for a while, the boss ran to the village where there were more people, and shouted "Fraud corpse, fraud corpse, come quickly", the old lady after the corpse fraud stared at the boss, kept chasing him and jumped, jumping three feet high, the boss fell, just at the moment when the old lady caught the boss, the second and third children arrived with people, and used the fishing net sprinkled with black dog blood to pocket the old lady, and the corpse could not break free from the fishing net sprinkled with black dog blood. Dogs are said to be the guards of the underworld, and have the effect of deterring evil spirits. Everyone raised torches to surround the old lady, and the old lady became frightened, and jumped up and down to jump out, but after being stained with black dog blood, she couldn't jump high, so it looked very funny. The old lady rushed in one direction, scaring the women who were watching the excitement enough, but fortunately everyone pulled her back, and the people around took the opportunity to throw the torch at the corpse, and the old lady was immediately burned. At first, he could move a few times, but then he lay on the ground until the first dawn of the rooster's crow. The villagers put the old lady's ashes away and put them in the coffin, and then they were safe.

In fact, the folk like this kind of story and process it imaginatively under unfounded circumstances. I heard that this kind of thing happened quite a few times before the liberation.

When my father told me this story, I was so scared that I didn't dare to go out to the hut at night, and I always felt that something would jump down from it, and then it didn't pinch me or bite me, and he looked at me so gloomily, and it was really creepy to think about. Personally, I really like short ghost stories, and to be clear, you may have heard these stories before, and I told them all, and they are the stories I heard.
