Chapter 4, Gray Mouse Ask for Collection
Even when I saw that the mouse's mouth seemed to crack slightly, I didn't know if it was smiling at me.
That feeling made my back cold, and the moment I reacted, I stumbled and almost didn't fall to the ground, and the whole person screamed.
This exclamation woke up the people in the hall directly, and they rushed towards me one by one to ask me what was the matter?
I hurriedly pointed to the coffin with my finger, and even my hands trembled slightly, and said to the people around me: "Yes, there are rats." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly a gray thing burst out of the coffin, and then rushed towards the back of the hall, and in the blink of an eye, the gray mouse disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"A gray mouse, why did you get into the coffin?"
Someone next to me muttered quietly, and when I thought of the way the mouse looked at me just now, I felt a little chill in my heart, it was an inexplicable feeling.
"Hey, why did the second fool's mouth open?"
At this time, someone next to him made a sound, pointing to the mouth of the second fool in the coffin, and now the second fool opened his mouth to show a mouthful of yellow teeth, which looked particularly infiltrating.
It was as if the second fool was shouting with his mouth open, I heard the person next to me say to come to my grandfather, I found a place to sit down, I didn't want to say a word, and my whole body was inexplicably weak.
Grandpa went to sleep in his room after dealing with this side of the matter before, and said that he would not disturb him if he was fine.
I could tell that my grandfather seemed to be very tired, and he came into the room to rest.
Soon, someone called Grandpa up, and the grandfather who walked into the hall asked what happened, and someone pointed to the coffin and told Grandpa that the mouth of the two fools in the coffin was open.
Grandpa hurriedly went over, looked at the two fools in the coffin and didn't speak,
Immediately, I saw my grandfather put his hand into the coffin, and his thumb instantly pressed on the throat of the second fool, and the grandfather kept pressing down hard, and I saw the second fool's mouth begin to close slowly.
At this time, my grandfather suddenly asked me to go to his room and bring cinnabar.
Cinnabar I know, grandpa has a child in that family frightened on weekdays, come back to find grandpa, grandpa will draw talismans to children to calm the shock, cinnabar is the thing used to draw talismans, I hurried to grandpa's room to get things.
I saw my grandfather order some cinnabar and rub it on the throat of the second fool.
After doing such things, I saw some fine beads of sweat on my grandfather's forehead, and I hurriedly went up to hold my grandfather.
"Grandpa, I'll send you back to your room to rest."
Grandpa didn't refuse, I don't know why, since grandpa went out and came back last night, I felt that grandpa's whole spirit was a lot worse, you must know that the previous grandpa was very tough.
I helped my grandfather into the room, and then told him what had just happened, and told him that the rat was something I had seen come out of the mouth of the second fool.
Hearing my words, my grandfather's body shook, and he suddenly turned to look at me, and exclaimed, "You say, that rat came out of the mouth of the second fool?" ”
Grandpa repeated my question directly, and I nodded heavily.
I felt from my grandfather's face that this matter was probably very serious.
Without waiting for me to ask anything, the grandfather next to me hurriedly asked me how much time I had? I looked at the time and said it was almost half past eleven.
Grandpa didn't say a word, turned around and rushed out of the room, I didn't react at all, when I went out, I saw Grandpa was telling a group of people who were keeping vigil, tell them all to go home, there is no need to keep vigil in this place tonight.
Wait until tomorrow morning, the big guy will come back and send the two fools up the mountain.
Those people were a little puzzled, but Grandpa's words in the village still carried a lot of weight, and then the remaining few people also left one after another, leaving only Grandpa with a solemn face standing at the door of the hall.
I hurriedly asked my grandfather what the hell was going on? Grandpa didn't answer me, but turned around and walked to the side of the coffin, stared at the two fools inside the coffin for a long time, and finally muttered in a low voice: "Heh, it came quite quickly." ”
As soon as the words fell, my grandfather turned around and walked into the room, and after a while, I saw two things in my grandfather's hands, a peachwood sword, and a bell that looked extremely old.
These are all tools that grandpa used when he gave others funerals, and now grandpa suddenly does this? You have to know that the matter of exceedingly giving the second fool is not done during the day?
At the same time, my grandfather handed me a brush in his hand, which was smeared with bright red, and I knew it was cinnabar at a glance.
"Baby, remember, no matter what you see or what happens for a while, don't care, you just need to press this on the eyebrows of the second fool, do you hear?"
In the face of Grandpa's anxious explanation, I nodded a little, because I didn't know what was going on, so that Grandpa, who was already about to rest, did this.
"Go, don't be afraid of what you see for a while, as long as you stand still, they can't help you."
Grandpa continued to explain to me, I learned some information from Grandpa's words, someone is going to come in a while? And listening to grandpa's words, it doesn't seem to be a good thing for us, otherwise grandpa wouldn't be so nervous at all.
This time, Grandpa didn't wait for me to explain, he turned around and walked outside, and I saw Grandpa standing at the main entrance of the hall with a peachwood sword in one hand and a bell in the other.
And I hurriedly took the brush and put the brush smeared with cinnabar on the head of the second fool.
I was really participating in a white event, because my grandfather didn't allow me to participate in this kind of white event before, and now my eyes drooped, and I could just see the pale face of the second fool and the slightly open mouth.
Although grandpa had already closed the mouth of the second fool just now, there was still a slit, and I was still a little inexplicable in my heart when I watched this scene.
In the end, I had to quickly look away, because after watching for a long time, I was a little panicked.
Suddenly, the dogs in the whole village began to bark wildly, and the sound made people feel panicked, because I remember the night my grandfather went out, and this was the feeling.
However, the strange thing is that after those dog barking sounds that lasted for dozens of seconds, they actually began to smile, just like the feeling of a vicious dog that was extremely arrogant before suddenly saw a bear.
Through the door of the hall, I looked at the sky outside, it was summer, there was a moon at night, but there seemed to be a huge dark cloud covering the sky, and there was an extremely oppressive atmosphere in the air.
This feeling makes my heart very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, I saw my grandfather walking forward, and I was about to call him, but when I thought of what my grandfather said to me, I stopped for a moment and stayed quietly in this hall.
Grandpa's figure walked farther and farther, gradually disappearing into the night.
In the night sky, there was a sudden whining sound, which seemed to be mixed with a wail of pain, I don't know what it was, but it gave people a chilling feeling.
Before I knew it, I noticed that my hand holding the brush had begun to tremble slightly.
My eyes were always on the outside of the hall, and I wanted to see when my grandfather would come back, and what he had just been doing.
Under my gaze, there seemed to be a burst of darkness in the distance in the sky, and that location should not be far from our house, but at night, I couldn't see it at all.
At this moment, I seemed to hear a sound of chattering coming from inside the hall, and when I heard this sound, I quickly looked around to find the source of the sound.
A gray figure suddenly leapt from behind me, and then burrowed into the coffin under my horrified gaze.
My heart jumped when I watched this scene, and I almost threw away the brush in my hand, but fortunately I didn't make this mistake.
But when I looked steadily inside the coffin, a gray rat bigger than a fist was staring at me with those green eyes, and my heart chuckled at the sight of those eyes.
In the next moment, the gray mouse suddenly jumped and pounced on my hand with its long mouth.
I can only say that it was really an instinctive reaction, and my hand shrank instantly, and the brush naturally fell into the coffin.
Realizing that something was wrong, I was just about to reach for the brush.
However, when I saw the coffin, the eyes of the two fools suddenly opened......
