Chapter 4: A Shadow in the Dark
I hurriedly ran into the house and asked Sayuri what was wrong, but Uncle Hong didn't answer me, just pressed Sayuri's forehead with his palm, closed his eyes and recited a spell. I anxiously asked, "My house has been turned into a mess, and my grandfather and uncle are nowhere to be seen, what should I do now?" ”
Uncle Hong didn't open his eyes, but said calmly: "It should be related to your uncle's loss of soul, my home has also been entered...... Sayuri is now in an evil spot, I'll exorcise her first, don't go anywhere if you stay here! Hearing Uncle Hong say this, I hurriedly looked at Sayuri, only to see her eyes scattered, her whole body stiff, and her face as white as paper.
I was at a loss for what to do, but suddenly I heard the voice of the second egg outside the door: "Uncle Hong! Is Uncle Hong back? I hurriedly walked out and saw that Erdan was running here, he was stunned when he saw me, and said, "You are back on the eighth day of the first month!" What about Uncle Hong? "I said that Uncle Hong was in the back room to exorcise Sayuri's evil spirits, why is the entrance of the village so noisy, what happened?
Erdan said: "Your uncle doesn't know what's wrong, he bites when he sees a living thing like crazy!" Several chickens and dogs have let him bite, and he still wants to bite! Fortunately, he was found and subdued in time by the night patrol Mura Yong. He seems to be looking for something to rummage around, and now he has let the big guy tie up, the village chief said that he may have hit the evil spirit, let me call Uncle Hong to take a look! ”
Uncle Hong walked out at this time, and asked me not to follow, and to watch Sayuri at home, and he went to see what was going on. I really wanted to go and bring my uncle back, but Sayuri couldn't be at home like this, so I had to nod.
Uncle Hong immediately followed Erdan to Li Dafu's house at the entrance of the village, and I stayed at his house to take care of Sayuri according to Uncle Hong's instructions, but when I turned around, I didn't see Sayuri, and went up to the second floor to open Sayuri's door, and found that the bed was empty, and Sayuri was not in the room.
I thought I hadn't seen it clearly, so I went into Sayuri's room and took a closer look, and at this moment, I suddenly felt like a person standing at the door behind me, staring at the back of my head with a chill.
I was startled and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Sure enough, there was a figure standing at the door, but it definitely wasn't Sayuri. I hurriedly went to the head of the bed, lit a kerosene lamp, and looked at the light to see where there was anyone at the door, but just now I saw a figure standing there.
I still don't believe it, can it still be haunted in Uncle Hong's house? I came up with an idea, yawned and said I was sleepy and went to sleep, so I turned off the kerosene lamp, but I glanced at the door without blinking, and as soon as the light went out, the figure appeared again.
I stood up and shouted angrily: "No matter what kind of ghost you are, this is Uncle Hong's house, be careful that he makes your soul scatter!" The shadow remained motionless, as if it were imprinted on the doorway. I lit the kerosene lamp again, and there was still nothing.
I'm losing my temper. I turned off the kerosene lamp and lit it again, lit it and then turned it off, turned the switch on and off several times, and the shadow was just a light and disappeared, and as soon as the light was turned off, it appeared, as if it was deliberately conditioning me to play, but then once I turned off the light, the shadow seemed to take a step closer to me.
Are you ready to attack me? I curled up at the head of the bed and lit the kerosene lamp again, still nothing.
After extinguishing the kerosene lamp, the shadow took another step closer to me, and was almost at the foot of the bed, and I said weakly, "Don't mess around!" Uncle Hong will be back soon! After saying that, I turned on the light again, but my scalp was numb at this light.
This figure is none other than my uncle Yin Laojiu, but his appearance is very terrifying, scarlet eyes, pale, he is stretching out his hand with only four fingers to grab me, and I am stunned and don't know whether to welcome or hide.
Suddenly, there was a huge pain in my shoulder, as if I had been bitten by something, and when I turned my head, I found that it was Sayuri who bit my shoulder, and she bit my shoulder, and her two arms were around my two hands, and her legs were wrapped around my waist from behind, and I couldn't get her to get rid of her, and my blood flowed down my shoulder. I shouted Sayuri, what are you doing, let go! But Sayuri just bit me and let out a sneer.
Soon I felt chills all over my body and my eyelids were getting heavier. I remember when I was in a hygiene class, the teacher said that when people lose too much blood, they get chills and want to sleep, I don't know how much blood I have shed, anyway, now I feel tired and sleepy.
Just when I was about to lose consciousness, I saw my uncle walking towards me with two lines of blood and tears. The whole scene was very weird, and there were many doubts, but I didn't have time to think about it, and I lost consciousness as soon as it was dark.
In the haze, I felt like I was in my room, and my uncle was standing beside me and looking at me. I saw that he seemed to have regained his old look, and asked happily, "Uncle! Are you alright? But my uncle didn't speak, just smiled at me, then patted me on the shoulder and motioned for me to follow him.
My uncle took me all the way out of the house, through the village, and straight south into the mountains. Usually my grandfather went into the mountain from this direction to collect medicine, and the adults in the village have not allowed the children to go into the mountain to play, even if they are adults, they rarely go into the mountain if they usually have nothing to do, this is the unwritten rule of the village, and whoever is found to have sneaked into the mountain is to be questioned by the village chief, so I inevitably feel a little resistant and scared in my heart.
Although I have been begging my grandfather to take me into the mountains to learn to collect medicine, but he has never agreed to me, even if I don't have permission to lend me a gut, I don't dare, and now my uncle wants to take me into the mountains, I am very puzzled, so I stopped him and asked, "What are you doing in the mountains so late now?" It's terrible to be discovered! ”
My uncle turned around in front of me and just beckoned me to hurry up and follow, while I heard my uncle's voice in my head: "Go find your grandfather!" "I didn't see my uncle open his mouth to speak, strange.
Looking for my grandfather? What happened to my grandfather? Was it taken away by the man who broke into the house? But when I heard that it was to find my grandfather, I didn't think much about it, so I stepped up and followed.
My uncle had been leading the way, and I was following him, but I felt that no matter how much I tried to catch up with him, I couldn't catch up with him. My uncle kept walking a few meters in front of me, and so we went deeper and deeper into the mountains, turning left and right on the winding mountain path for a long time, until finally my uncle stopped on a cliff with a crooked neck and a dead tree, and turned around and motioned for me to hurry over.
I walked up to my uncle and asked where my grandfather was, but he didn't say anything and pointed to the bottom of the cliff for me to see. I looked down and saw a deep, long ravine between two cliffs at the bottom of the cliff, and a man lying at our feet.
I am very familiar with that person's dress, it is the one that my grandfather often wears when he goes into the mountains to collect medicine, although I can't see his face, but it should be my grandfather. My grandfather was lying alone in the ravine, and I felt uncomfortable, it seemed that my grandfather was more than lucky.
I hurriedly asked my uncle beside me, did my grandfather fall down? The uncle didn't speak, just a sad face. He took my hand and handed it to me, and before I could look closely, he closed my palm, and I looked up and was about to ask him what it was, but my uncle suddenly pushed me off the cliff.
I screamed and fell, I don't know if it was because of the lightness on my body, I seemed to have fallen down for a long time without touching the ground, as if I was falling into a bottomless abyss......
"Ahh With a bang, I sat up from the bed, and Uncle Hong beside me was looking at me thoughtfully. As soon as I came to my senses, I said I was going to save my grandfather, and he fell off a cliff.
Uncle Hong stretched his beard and didn't speak, but suddenly stretched out his palm and pressed it on my head, and began to chant a mantra. I was in a hurry to get out of bed, but I was stopped by Uncle Hong, and slowly I felt a warm current spread from Uncle Hong's palm all over my body. I calmed down, and Uncle Hong saw that I was honest, so he released the palm on my head.
At this point, I had calmed down, and then I felt as if I had something in my hand, and when I opened my palm, I saw that it was the two dice that my uncle had been keeping with me.
