Chapter 4: Exploring the Dead Man's Ditch at Night
"Zhang Jiuliu? Are you okay? Liu Yixiao's concerned inquiry voice came from his ears.
I wiped the sweat off my face, waved my hand, and said, "It's nothing." ”
But I was a little flustered in my heart, I shouldn't be!
No matter what, those three lepers are more damning than me, why shouldn't He Xiaoxue come to me first!
"But your face is a little unpleasant." Liu Yixiao asked again, her white tender hand grabbed me, and said softly: "Did you have a nightmare just now?" If you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me. ”
As Liu Yixiao approached, I smelled the refreshing smell of her, and my panicked and scared emotions instantly stabilized.
After I calmed down, I knew that I couldn't tell Liu Yixiao about this matter, and if she knew, even if I wasn't scared away, I would report the matter.
When the time comes, if the people in the village know, I will tell the story.
It's strange if you don't peel me off a layer of skin!
The thought turned around in my mind, and I cleaned up the look on my face and said, "It's really a nightmare, it's nothing, Teacher Liu, you go to bed, I'll take you to the village school tomorrow morning." ”
Liu Yixiao returned to the room in disbelief, I breathed a sigh of relief, remembering the dream just now, I was a little afraid in my heart, I kind of understood, He Xiaoxue...... It's not over!
After this toss, I couldn't sleep, I leaned back against the wall and felt irritable, and took out the three yuan a pack of red plums, not to mention, it was much more powerful than the peony rolled from cigarette residues.
But the death of He Xiaoxue and the leper appeared frequently in my mind, and I was afraid of He Xiaoxue's revenge, so I couldn't sit still, and smacked two mouthfuls of red plums.
In the dark, the spark flickered and flickered.
My fingers trembled a little, and even the red plum could not dispel the fear in my heart at this time.
Reaching out and groping in the direction of the bedside, I touched the cold bottle, grabbed and opened the cap, tilted my head and poured a few sips, and the burning alcohol went down to my stomach, and I felt much better.
The wine is strong and cowardly, and after seeing the fate of the leprosy, it is estimated that I can't hide anyway, so I simply gritted my teeth and my heart was horizontal, planning to secretly go to the dead man's ditch.
I fumbled out a bag from under the bed, held it in my arms, and tiptoed out the door.
The moonlight shone on the village path, and the surroundings were quiet, but I didn't care, and walked in the direction of the dead man's grave, always feeling that something was wrong.
When I was almost close to the pit of the dead, I reacted, usually disturbing people's dreams at night, and the noisy cicadas chirped to know the sound, and they all disappeared tonight!
Right! It's really quiet tonight!
I couldn't help but shiver when the wind blew, but I was already nearby, so I tightened my arms and continued walking.
But when the wind blew, the alcohol I had just drunk was completely gone.
I also realized how bold I was, and I actually came to the dead man's pit at night!
The dead man's ditch is heavy and cloudy, and the wind is gusting all year round, let alone at night, even during the day, no one dares to come.
"He, Teacher He, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to find you for fun, I didn't want to kill you, I will burn paper money for you, don't ask me for your life!"
Approaching the place where the body was buried, a trembling and frightened voice came from the direction of the Dead Man's Ditch.
I sneaked up on it and found that it was another man with three lepers, kneeling on the edge of the ditch of the dead, lying on the ground, with three sticks of incense in front of him, and a pot of burning paper money.
I guess he, like me, also knew the news of the death of one of them, and was afraid that the resentful spirit would ask for his life, so he came here to burn money and beg for forgiveness.
Call!
Suddenly, the wind blew violently, and the paper money burning in the basin rose with the wind, like a tornado, rotating around the leprosy, accompanied by the sound of the wind, it was like He Xiaoxue's ghost crying out for injustice.
The scene looked extremely weird and scary, and the body of the leper kneeling on the ground was also trembling, and his voice was crying with horror: "Ahhh Mr. He! Teacher He, I know it's wrong, just spare me! ”
The wind stopped in an instant, all the paper money fell to the ground, and the three sticks of incense inserted in front of the leper broke their roots.
The old people in the village once said, light three incense to worship the ghosts and gods, the ghosts and gods hear your wishes, if the incense is successfully burned, it means that they have received your tribute and will fulfill your wishes.
But now this situation of three sticks of incense breaking is a great omen!
He Xiaoxue, she won't spare us.
The strange scene, I ran away, and I could hear the sound of the leper begging for mercy in the distance, blowing by the wind, just like the sound of He Xiaoxue crying and begging that night.
The paper money that was originally prepared in my hand also fell to the ground, where did I pay attention, and ran straight home, I was also going to worship He Xiaoxue's resentful soul, hoping that she could dissipate her anger and spare me a cheap life.
But look at what happened...... I'm afraid that none of the people who have experienced this will be able to escape!
By the time I got home, it was already daylight.
I opened the door with trembling hands.
"You're back?" Liu Yixiao's voice came from behind him.
I was startled, and when I looked back, I found that Liu Yixiao had already gotten up, and even had breakfast in her hand.
"Ahh Teacher Liu, you got up so early. "I'm a little weak-hearted, for fear that Liu Yixiao will see that something is wrong.
Liu Yixiao didn't continue to ask, looked at me with a smile, raised the breakfast in his hand and said, "Yes, thinking that I was going to school today, I got up early and bought breakfast for two, let's eat together." ”
Facing Liu Yixiao's smile, I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that I had just walked a road from hell to the world.
"Then, let's eat, I'll take you to school after eating." Putting aside the fear in my mind, I opened the door and let Liu Yixiao enter.
After breakfast, I took Liu Yixiao to the school in the village.
After arriving at the school, the students walked into the classroom one after another, and Liu Yixiao began to introduce herself.
Seeing that there was nothing to do with me, I left the school and wandered around the village.
I just walked to He Xiaoxue's house, and I carefully observed with a probe.
Strange to say, I thought that after the events of the morning, there might be another corpse today.
Who knows, but everything is fine.
I walked to the side of the road and listened to the small talk of the aunt on the side of the road, and most of them thought that He Xiaoxue's unjust soul had taken revenge, so there was no more accident.
How can it be! The people who killed He Xiaoxue were three lepers, and now only one died, if He Xiaoxue didn't mean to attack the other two......
Could it be that He Xiaoxue's next target is me!
It was broad daylight, but I only felt a chill rising from the soles of my feet.
Yu Guang saw a sympathetic man, one of the three lepers, who walked past the entrance of the village with a suspicious appearance and a panicked expression, holding something wrapped in cloth in his arms.
Now only the three of us in the village know that He Xiaoxue's revenge is still continuing.
"Deflated three!"
The village chief's wife walked up to me and looked at me with her hands on her hips with disdain.
