Chapter 11: Hooked Soul
When my grandfather heard this, he was excited and immediately wanted to take me away, but he was stopped by Wenmo.
"There's no rush on this matter for now." Wen Mo looked out of the window, the corners of his lips slightly hooked, "Some people are already in a hurry to jump their feet, I'm afraid that if you want to go back, there will be some twists and turns." ”
I didn't understand what Wenmo said, but seeing that Grandpa's face had changed, I knew that things might not be so simple.
Suddenly there was a thunderclap outside the window, and I buried my head in the quilt in fright, shivering.
Grandpa patted me on the back, and I heard him sigh helplessly: "Wenmo, what are we going to do now?" ”
"What do you want to do?" Wenmo pointed at me and said with a smile: "There are only two ways now, either hand over this kid, you and your son and daughter-in-law live well, although it was lit out of the house, but it is this kid who will have time to come out with another doll in the future." ”
Grandpa's face changed when he heard this, and he shook his head and said, "That's not good, I won't hand over Xiao Xian!" ”
Wen Mo shrugged, "I don't know what I'll face next, anyway, life won't be too easy." ”
I looked up apprehensively and looked at my grandfather, what do you mean by handing me over?
Grandpa held me in his arms and said bitterly, "My poor grandson, how could such a thing happen?" ”
The heavy rain outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, the wind is whistling, as if it is going to blow up the whole small hotel, Wenmo has gone out and doesn't know what to do, grandpa hugged me all night and didn't sleep, and in the early hours of the morning, I also fell asleep unconsciously.
When I opened my eyes again, I was the only one left in the small room.
"Grandpa?" I rubbed my sleepy eyes, put on my shoes and went out. It was still dark, there was no sound in the hotel, and I was a little panicked looking at the dim corridor, fumbling while holding on to the wall, wondering if my grandfather had gone to the toilet.
I walked to the door of the small hotel, and the rain had stopped, but there was no trace of water in the street, as if it had faded overnight.
The only thing that made people feel uncomfortable was that there were more people on the street at some point, and they were crouching with a small fire burning in front of them.
What's burning at night?
I walked over curiously, perhaps by nature, and I became interested.
"Grandpa, what are you burning?" I watched him throw stacks and stacks of white paper into the fire, but strangely enough, I couldn't see the face of the paper burner.
"Little doll, I'm burning money!" The old man replied to me in a deep voice.
"Money?" I suddenly understood something, are these blank pieces of paper just paper money? In the past, during the Qingming Festival or the Midyear Festival, the grandfather would also go out with a pile of blank paper, saying that it was to burn money for the ancestors.
But is it the Midyear today?
"Oh." I nodded as if I didn't understand, and when I got up and was about to go back to the hotel to continue waiting for my grandfather, I turned my head and saw my grandfather standing not far away.
"Grandpa!" I shouted, and strangely enough, Grandpa didn't come towards me, but stood still, staring at me motionless.
Grandpa looked at me directly, and I was a little hairy in that look, could it be that I ran out without permission and made grandpa angry?
Thinking of this, I shuddered, and hurriedly ran over to hold my grandfather's hand, "Grandpa, where have you been?" Why don't you tell me? ”
"Xiao Xian, grandpa will take you to the grave."
Grandpa's voice was cold, cold like the night wind.
I looked up in confusion: "Go to the grave?" Why go to the grave? ”
Why did you take me to the grave?
Grandpa's hand suddenly gripped me tightly, and the force made my fingers ache.
"Grandpa, it hurts!"
I tried to pull out my hand, but I couldn't, so I hurriedly looked up to see my grandfather.
But what I saw was a miserable white face, white without any blood, just like the face of a dead man. My heart tightened, and the words I said were a little crying.
"Grandpa, you, what's wrong with you?"
"Xiao Xian, let's go to the grave with grandpa."
Although I love going to the grave...... The main thing is to be able to play with fire and firecrackers, but soon I thought of one thing, there are no relatives in this town, how can I follow my grandfather to the grave?!
Thinking of this, I got goosebumps, and my hands were even more exhausted, so I almost didn't have to bite.
Suddenly, Grandpa started laughing, and his mouth opened wider and wider, definitely not the size of a normal person, and it felt like it could stuff my whole head into it!
Grandpa suddenly let go of his hand and came directly to pinch my neck, I instantly couldn't breathe, my hands grabbed my grandfather's hand indiscriminately, and my feet were also kicking wildly.
Gradually, my scalp began to tingle, and my eyes became darker and darker.
“…… Break! ”
At this time, Wen Mo's cold voice sounded in my ears, and my grandfather's expression froze, and he disappeared with a scream.
I sat down on the ground all of a sudden, and before I could react, my body took off into the air, as if someone had picked me up.
Everything in front of me is like a movie, slowly turning into fog and getting more and more blurry.
"Qin Xian, don't sleep!" Wen Mo's voice whispered in my ear: "You can't come back when you sleep." ”
"Hmm......"
I tried to make my mind clearer, and finally my eyes were clearer.
Grandpa's anxious face appeared in front of my eyes, I was breathless, my body rolled and crawled back, and I looked at Grandpa in fear.
"Xiao Xian, what's wrong with you?!" When my grandfather saw me like this, he was more anxious than me, and he reached out to grab me.
"Don't!" Thinking of the scene where my grandfather had just pinched me, I still had palpitations and hurriedly stepped back: "Don't, don't come over, don't come over!" ”
Grandpa was even more anxious, "What's the matter with you kid?" When I wake up, I talk nonsense, I'm your grandfather! ”
"Qin Xiong." Wen Mo said lightly: "This child's soul has just been hooked out, I guess someone has transformed your image, hmm...... Qin Xian, don't be afraid, this is really your grandfather. ”
"Really?" I raised my head and saw that my grandfather's face was normal and his expression was really anxious, so I gradually let down my guard and stammered: "Grandpa, I just saw you, you are going to strangle me...... I was really scared. ”
Grandpa frowned and said, "Wenmo, what the hell is going on?" I've been guarding the little strings, and the little strings will be hooked? ”
Wenmo shrugged, "This isn't normal. I said that someone was eyeing you, and blamed me for being slower. ”
"What now?" Grandpa is really anxious at this time, "I can't even keep guarding the little strings without leaving an inch." ”
Wen Mo looked at it, and suddenly knocked his hand, "That's it, let's have a plan, if we find out the other party, maybe there will be a way." ”
Later, Wenmo has been trying to convince my grandfather, saying that the other party is in the dark, we are in the light, and what is impossible to prevent, in short, I finally understood that Wenmo was trying to use me as bait.
Grandpa definitely disagreed at first, but in the end he was persuaded by Wenmo, so he could only nod helplessly, but let Wenmo keep me safe.
"This is natural, there has been some kind of bond between me and this child, even if I want to rely on it, you can rest assured."
After waiting for a day, I tried to hold back my sleep, until at night, Wenmo asked me to lie down in bed.
"Qin Xian, don't you sleep for a while, you know?"
I nodded, although I didn't know what was going on, but after that one, I definitely didn't dare to sleep.
After that, Wenmo circled around me, reading something I didn't understand, and pulled out a jar of something and wiped it on my forehead.
"This is to prevent Qin Xian from being hooked away again, so you have to be careful."
"Qin Xian, in addition to not being able to sleep for a while, you are not allowed to answer when you hear any sound, do you know? Especially Grandpa's voice. ”
Grandpa has been invited out by Wenmo, and there are only two of us left in the room.
I nodded again, Wen Mo smiled at me, and as soon as his figure retreated, the whole person disappeared again.
Lying on the bed nervously, my mind began to think wildly, and I don't know how long it took, when the wind suddenly blew outside.
The wind was so strong that the windows rattled and whistled.
I swallowed and hurriedly put the quilt over my head, my eyes tightly closed, and my back molars were about to be crushed.
After a short while, the sound of the wind suddenly stopped, and my tense nerves also relaxed, and this relaxation, sleepiness hit, and I couldn't help but want to doze off.
"Little strings! Small strings! ”
Grandpa's voice suddenly came from the direction of the window, and I suddenly woke up.
"Xiao Xian, I'm grandpa!"
But I know it's not grandpa at all, besides, this is the third floor, and grandpa is actually knocking on the window outside?
"Xiao Xian, open the window quickly, there is danger here, grandpa is going to take you away!"
I kept my mouth shut, not daring to answer.
But my name was still being called outside the window, and gradually, the man's voice became anxious.
"Qin Xian, hurry up and open it!"
Don't open!
I shouted in my heart in reply, curled up in a ball, hugged my knees, and did not dare to open my eyes.
But he didn't seem to want to give up, from knocking on the window to slapping the window, with a faint intention to smash the window.
I was about to cry, and I covered my mouth to prevent myself from making a sound, but then the moonlight outside the window came in, and only a shadow obscured the light on me.
What to do? I bit my lower lip and was thinking about whether to shout Wenmo next, when the sound of knocking on the window disappeared.
The whole room was quiet and scary. After I held this position for a long time, my curiosity made me want to turn around and see what was going on.
I had just turned around and met a pair of gray and dull eyes!
His face was so close that it was almost the tip of my nose against the tip of my nose, and I could smell a putrid stench!
When I was about to scream, I suddenly remembered Wenmo's instructions, and immediately covered my mouth and looked at the person in front of me with horror in my eyes.
He looked at each other for a long time, and then cracked that crazy smile, "Xiao Xian, why didn't you agree when Grandpa called you?" ”
As he spoke, his hand was raised.
I could clearly see his fingers, the nails were extremely long, almost curled, and even more terrifying were his fingers! As if bitten by something, all the flesh and blood turned out, revealing Bai Sensen's finger skull inside!
Am I going to die?
