"Sharpen the scissors...... Pin kitchen knife ......"

Some muffled shouts came from inside the room, and I was so frightened that I collapsed on the floor.

I was covered in mud and wanted to escape, but I couldn't exert the slightest strength, so I had to lie on the ground and squirm desperately.

The shouting was getting closer and closer, followed by a "squeak" sound, it should be that the door was opened, and when I heard this sound, I only felt that my crotch was hot, and I actually peed out.

I wanted to turn my head to see what was coming out of the house, but I didn't have the guts, so I could only bite the bullet and shout loudly, "Third Grandfather, my scissors and kitchen knives are not fast, please help sharpen them......"

As soon as I had finished saying this, I heard the man shouting, "Sharpen the scissors...... Kitchen knives ...... The incense is not enough ......."

As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly struggled to pull out three sticks of incense from the bag, and lit them tremblingly, this time the incense burned faster, and in less than a minute, all three incense sticks were burned.

Seeing this, I hurriedly lit three more sticks, and lit them four or five times, until the burning speed of the incense slowed down, and then there was a clanging sound.

It must have come out of the room and fiddled with the scissors and kitchen knives on the table, and after a while, the hoarse voice sounded again.

"Tsk, these scissors and kitchen knives are good, they are sharpened and lent to me, can you come back tomorrow?"

Want to borrow scissors and kitchen knives? What does he want to do?

I was a little confused, and just as I was about to ask, I remembered Old Man Ge's instructions, so I hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Third Grandfather, it's getting late today, I'll stay with you for a night, and I'll leave tomorrow!"

After saying this, I don't know where I got the strength, but I barely supported my body, hurriedly went out of the house, plunged into the ear room, and closed the door tightly.

"Sharpen the scissors...... Pin kitchen knife ......"

The shouting rang out again for a while, and then I heard the sound of sharpening knives.

After almost an hour, I wanted to go into the hall to light incense, but as soon as I opened the door of the ear room, I heard a "click, click" sound from inside the hall, as if Old Man Liu was cutting something with scissors.

I was so frightened that I hurriedly closed the door of the ear room again, and I was killed and did not want to enter the hall now.

The clicking sound kept ringing, and I was a little numb after listening to it for a long time, plus my nerves were tense all the time, and a wave of sleepiness hit, and I fell asleep unconsciously.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, the clicking sound in the hall was gone, and I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but I heard another strange sound in the courtyard.

"Pap, pap, papa, papa......" It's like someone is slapping a ball.

I was almost scared to pee again, the whole person leaned against the door, and said with a hint of crying, "Third Grandfather, I'm here to sharpen scissors and kitchen knives, it's getting late, I'll stay here for a night, and I......'ll leave early tomorrow morning."

"Pap, pap, papa, pap......" is still the sound of slapping the ball, which is very rhythmic.

"Who's there?" I couldn't help it, so I had the courage to ask again.

After asking, I suddenly heard a "pop" sound, as if the ball flew in through the glassless window and hit the wall, and then I heard the sound of the ball slowly bounce towards me.

The ball bounced more and more slowly, and finally turned into a roll on the ground, and through the moonlight shining through the window, I saw a small leather ball the size of a melon slowly rolling towards me until it reached my feet.

I subconsciously bent down to pick up the ball, thinking that the ball was slimy, smelling fishy, and I didn't know what was on it.

As soon as I picked up the ball, I heard a milky sound outside the yard.

"Little leather balls, banana pears, Malan blossom twenty-one, two eight two five six, two eight two five seven, two eight two nine thirty-one...... Giggles...... Throw it back, throw the ball back......"

As soon as I heard this, I was a little strange, why is there a little girl in this old house, there are only three people in Old Man Liu's family, I haven't heard that there is a daughter, is it whose child came to this old house to play?

Although I was puzzled, I didn't think much of it, and hurriedly threw the ball out of the window as the child said.

"Smack...... Syllable...... Smack......"

The ball bounced on the ground for a while, then stopped.

I heard the little girl outside the door seem to be snorting for a while, and then she said a little unhappily, "That's not the case, you learn to throw me, look, look......"

Then I heard the sound of the ball bounce off the ground, and then I saw the little ball bounce towards me again.

"Giggles......

The little girl at the door seemed to be very happy and giggled.

"Why is this little guy so playful and a little bolder, right?" I muttered to myself, and hurriedly picked up the ball again and threw it gently out of the window.

But I always felt that the surface of the ball was slimy, and it felt soft to the touch, and I didn't know what it was made of.

"Gee, you can't throw it at all...... You stand up and see how I threw it......"

I stood up by the devil, and saw a little girl of about four or five years old standing on a small lime floor in the courtyard.

The little girl was dressed in red, with a thin belt tied around her waist, tied into a bow, and holding the small leather ball in her hand, bouncing on the ground and patting it non-stop.

I saw that the little girl was very normal, although I was still not sure if she was a human or a ghost, but my hanging heart finally relaxed a little.

"Giggle...... Look, it's going to be thrown like this......"

As she spoke, the little girl raised the ball in her hand and threw it into the ear room, and the ball rolled to my feet again.

I hurriedly picked up the little leather ball, and threw it gently according to the position of the little girl, this time the little leather ball just bounced at the little girl's feet, this time she didn't say that I threw it wrong, and danced with a burst of laughter like silver bells.

"Giggles...... You're pretty good at playing ball......"

In this way, the ball was thrown in and out, and it took more than an hour to play, which annoyed me, but I didn't dare not play with her, so I had to think in my heart, I must ask in the village early tomorrow morning, whose child is so skinny, running here in the middle of the night to play, and scared me half to death.

When the sky was slightly white, the little girl was a little reluctant to pat the ball and said, "Big brother, you have a good time with the ball, can you come to play with Jiawen tomorrow?" ”

"Play your uncle, who Tema is sick and will accompany you to play with the ball here!" I cursed in my heart, but I didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that I didn't answer, the little girl continued, "Big brother, I have to go back, you must come tomorrow, if you don't come, I will go to you......"

As soon as her words fell, I suddenly felt as if all my strength had been drained, and I sat down on the ground at once, and after a while, I heard a "squeak" sound, and it seemed that the little girl pushed the door out of the old house.

I sat down on the ground until about six o'clock in the morning, and then I entered the hall tremblingly, first lit three sticks of incense, and then took the polished scissors and kitchen knife that had been placed on the table, and rushed out of the old house as if I had fled.

When I got home, Old Man Ge and his grandfather were sitting in the courtyard, and in the middle of the courtyard, there was a paper figure that was tied yesterday, but the strange thing was that the paper figure was tied with yellow paper yesterday.

But now I don't know what's going on, the whole paper figure seems to have been soaked in blood water, the whole body is blood red, and it looks oozing tight, I hurriedly asked Old Man Ge what was going on.

Old man Ge frowned and said, "The old woman really came over last night, and she deceived her for a while at first, but I didn't expect to be recognized by her after a while, if it weren't for the fact that I still had some means to save my life, I am afraid that I would have lost her way......"

"Then why did this paper figure turn red?" I still haven't figured it out.

"You can look at the back of the paper figure yourself, alas!"

Hearing this, I hurriedly endured the nausea and turned over the paper figure, only to see that the blood on the paper figure actually passed through the entire body, but the strange thing is that the blood seeping past just formed a big happy word on the back, which looked abnormal.

"I originally wanted to use this paper figure as a stand-in for you, stabilize the old woman first, even if it is discovered, it can be regarded as expressing my thoughts to her, let you be a nominal husband and wife first, and then act as husband and wife after a hundred years, but who knows, people don't agree at all, they are determined to recruit you as a son-in-law......"

"That'...... So what to do? I was frightened by what I saw and hurriedly asked.

"I don't have anything to do, I can only do what I said yesterday, by the way, how did you do in the old house yesterday?"

I hurriedly told Old Man Ge about yesterday's events in detail, and after he heard it, his brows furrowed, and he took a sip of tea before saying.

"Jiawen? This name sounds very familiar, but I can't remember which baby it is for a while, let's go back to the village and ask! ”

"Uncle Ge, could this little girl also be a ghost?" I asked tremblingly.

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, ghosts generally wander in the place where they die, and they won't run around, in the past few years, there has never been a four- or five-year-old girl in the village, besides, if it's really a ghost, Old Man Liu can't let her into the old house......"

Listening to Old Man Ge's words, I felt more and more strange in my heart, since it is not a ghost, whose child would run to the haunted house in the middle of the night to play with leather ball?
