I was so excited that when I came to my senses, I was sweating profusely.

When I sat up from the bed, I saw that everything in the room was quiet, and the corner where my aunt had been sitting was empty.

When I lay down again, I couldn't sleep anymore.

So, I put on my clothes and went out.

There is a big difference in temperature between day and night in the mountains, this point is three o'clock in the morning, which is about 20 degrees different from the temperature at noon.

Most of the guests who came to this club to eat "tuozi meat" at night did not go home.

They were also accommodated in the rooms on the west side, and the lights were still on in a few rooms.

I walked down the corridor for about a hundred or two hundred meters, and as soon as I looked up, I could see the water tower in the middle of the clubhouse.

At this moment, the moon is hanging on the top of the water tower, and it is deserted.

The windows above were closed, and nothing could be seen in the dark.

I looked left and right, and the cave bat didn't know where it had gone, and the water tower in the moonlight looked more and more eerie, and the whole night was full of indescribable weirdness.

There was no one around, and after taking a deep breath, I could almost hear the sound of the air moving.

I turned around and was about to leave, when I heard some sound coming from behind the water tower, and the movement was "hulahula", like something was burning.

Following the sound of the voice, I walked over.

I saw a man, crouching with his back to me, a brazier in front of him, and at his feet was a pile of unburned paper money.

At this moment, he was throwing the paper money at his feet into the brazier little by little.

I moved closer and saw the man's face.

He is a Hu housekeeper.

From time to time, he would whisper something when he was burning paper, and I was at a certain distance from him, and I couldn't hear it very clearly.

Steward Hu was very serious about burning paper, and he didn't notice that someone was approaching at all.

I was standing on the other side of the water tower, the angle was just right, I was only two meters away from him, the water tower could block my body, Steward Hu couldn't see me, but I could roughly hear what he was saying.

In his words, I learned that the object of his paper burning was Gu San.

The content of Steward Hu's words seemed to be affirming and begging the other party for forgiveness, saying something to let him not hurt his grandson.

Hearing this, I thought it was strange.

Steward Hu and Gu San are dozens of years old, how can the two intersect.

As he was talking, a gust of wind came from nowhere, blowing the paper money in the brazier that had not yet been burned into the sky. Steward Hu knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

He kept babbling, begging the other party to spare him.

The wind around him was getting stronger and stronger, and the brazier that was burning paper in front of Hu Steward An didn't know why, but suddenly jumped into the air with a "clang", and after turning over, he fell to the ground.

This sudden scene frightened Steward Hu to lean back, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Some burning paper money fell on him from the air, and soon, his clothes were on fire.

At the critical moment when human life was at stake, I couldn't care so much, so I rushed out with an arrow step, tore off the branches of the landscape tree next to me, and struck at Steward Hu.

In this way, after a period of operation, the fire on Steward Hu's body was finally extinguished.

With a sigh of relief, I threw the branches aside and sat down on the ground, realizing that my forehead was already sweating profusely.

Fortunately, I appeared in time, and Steward Hu was not injured.

But his eyebrows and hair were still burned a lot, and that look was a bit funny.

Steward Hu gasped for breath, the situation just now was very dangerous, if I hadn't appeared in time, it is estimated that he would be much more serious than now.

When his mood calmed down a little, I asked, "Are you alright?" ”

He nodded, and then asked me, "Miss Biao, why are you here at such a late hour?" ”

I smiled and said, "I can't sleep at night, so I come out and hang out." ”

Obviously, my sentence was not convincing enough, but Steward Hu just sighed, and then we stopped talking.

We were all silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Steward Hu got up and cleaned up the brazier that fell on the ground, looking at the burned and unburned paper ashes inside, his expression was very complicated.

"Just now, thank you so much."

After saying this, Steward Hu wanted to leave, and I suddenly asked: "Why do you want to burn paper for Gu San, who has been dead for seventy years, and what is his relationship with you?" ”

Steward Hu was stunned.

I took the paper pot in Steward Hu's hand, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You were just frightened, rest for a while, my aunt and grandmother have been buried, and Tang Muzhou and I will leave tomorrow." ”

He heard what I was saying and sighed.

I tried to talk to Steward Hu, but he was no longer on my guard, and we sat side by side, and after a moment of silence, he finally told me why he had come here to burn paper:

It turned out that the father of this Hu housekeeper was called Hu Zhi, and he was also a descendant of the An family.

Gu San was locked up in the water tower, and the person who came to feed him every day was Hu Zhi. In the days when Gu San was imprisoned, the An family gave him some money, asked him to buy some steamed bread and oil cakes or something, and sent them to Gu San every day.

Hu Zhi took the money and went to the casino.

He has bad luck, not to mention losing all his money, and he owes a lot of debt.

So Hu Zhi couldn't pay off his debts, so he ran away.

The An family didn't know that this had happened, and only went to the water tower a month later to find that Gu San had died inside.

Hu Zhi felt very guilty, he originally wanted to go out and hide for a few days and go back, but those people kept chasing him. When he returned to Dongshan County afterwards, he learned that Gu San was dead.

He was very scared, and he fell asleep for a few days at home with his head curled up in the quilt, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he would see Gu San looking at him with a bloody face.

When he was drowsy, his wife ran in crying and said that her two-year-old son was missing.

Hearing this, Hu Zhidang jumped up from the bed all of a sudden, and the husband and wife looked everywhere, but found nothing.

For several days, there was no news from the youngest son.

His wife cried and cried every day, Hu Zhi felt very uncomfortable, and fell asleep on the bed, he saw his son struggling in the water, and behind him was a face of Gu San.

After Hu Zhi woke up from his dream, he went directly to the Black Water Pool.

After lighting the incense wax paper money, the person knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the black pool.

Hu Zhi's mouth kept reciting Gu San's name, begging the other party to forgive him, but the black waterhole was very calm, and he couldn't see the slightest ripple.

About an hour later, Hu straightened up and wanted to leave.

At this moment, a black shadow rose in the water, dragging him into the water!
