58. You can't just agree to a ghost's request
"Uncle, you are so old, your daughter-in-law is not easy to please, let alone young and beautiful, and on this hot day, no one will wear a red jacket...... I can find someone to help you repair your house, but I can't help you with your daughter-in-law......" I said to the old man sincerely.
The old man's eyes were misty, "Why don't you just find a master to take a few pieces of paper and fold them, what you like to wear, how can it be so difficult?" ”
"What?!" I suspected something was wrong with my ears, "Take the paper and fold it?" ”
"No, just fold a beautiful one and burn it for me." The old man said stubbornly.
"Burn ......?"
I suddenly remembered that Qi Tianyang had told me before leaving, I must rush home before twelve o'clock, because I already had the yin qi of the eight graves on my body, and when I caught up with the yin, it was easy to attract dirty things.
So I quickly looked at my watch, and the hour hand pointed to 12:10.
My hairs stood on end.
I had followed the map and was supposed to be the location of the ninth grave, but I didn't see the grave, but I saw the broken house and the old bachelor.
Oh my God, this old man, this house......
I was so frightened that I ran away, and the old man chased after me and shouted, "Girl, you haven't promised me yet!" ”
"Help! Help me! "I screamed and ran, but I tripped over something, and I fell to the ground, and I fell all over in the mud.
Looking back again, the dilapidated house was indeed gone, only a lonely tomb, and a thin tablet in front of the grave, engraved with a few simple words, "Liu Quanyou's Tomb".
At this moment, it confirmed what I had just thought, that old man was the old widower who died two years ago!
That house is his grave!
My soul was scared away. Frightened, he began to cry.
Although I was covered in muddy water, I still got up and walked back, not daring to stay in this ghost place for a moment.
I just ran and ran, I don't know how long, I lost the map in my hand, I had no direction for a long time, and I couldn't find my way back, but I thought to myself, I should leave that damn widower's tomb after running for so long. So I looked back, and it was okay not to look at it, and this look almost raised my heart to my throat.
That grave is still behind me!
I've just run so many miles, but I'm just spinning around here.
Ghost hits the wall!
Although I knew in my heart that I had encountered a ghost hitting the wall, no matter how I walked, I still walked in circles in front of that grave, and I could never get out.
I took out my mobile phone and wanted to call Qi Tianyang, but there was no signal on my mobile phone, and the magnetic field here was affected by the old man's grave.
I wanted to cry without tears, and I couldn't help shouting at the grave, "I have no grievances with you, why are you pestering me!" ”
But after shouting this, I still can't get out of this ghost circle. Eventually, I was so exhausted that I just sat on the floor.
I don't know how long it took, it seemed that I saw farmers gradually coming out to plough in the fields in the distance, so I wanted to go there to ask for help, and I walked and walked to a road, and I couldn't help but feel strange, when this road came, I didn't see it!
But as long as you walk on this road, you can quickly get to the farmer's uncle's side. So I gritted my teeth, and was ready to go this way, whether I had seen it or not.
At this moment, a hand patted me lightly behind my back, and I was so frightened that I was about to jump up, and when I looked back, it was Qi Tianyang standing behind me with a black umbrella!
As soon as I got up, I jumped on top of him, "Mom, there's a ghost!" ”
Qi Tianyang pulled me back a few steps before yelling at me, "Didn't I tell you that you must go home before twelve o'clock!" ”
I whimpered, "Didn't I want to collect the last handful of dirt too?" ”
When Qi Tianyang heard me say this, he sighed, and couldn't bear to blame me anymore.
I then remembered that I was still on him, and when I thought that the peasant uncle not far away had come out, I couldn't help blushing and hurriedly wanted to come down.
Qi Tianyang slapped my buttocks, "Don't look at the road, just walk blind!" ”
I looked down and found that Qi Tianyang was holding me and actually standing in a ditch! When I looked at my trouser legs again, I found that all the way to the root of my thighs, it was all mud and wet!
Wherever there is a big road, I went into the pipes that drained the water and discharged the floodwater, and in the summer there was a lot of rain, and there were many such water conservancy facilities in the fields, and the rainwater was dredged and hoarded into the artificial dammed lakes dug out, and when there was a drought, the water was pulled out by electric pumps for irrigation.
And I only had to walk a few more steps, and I would fall down the ditch into the small but deep dammed lake!
I was so scared that I got goosebumps all over my body, "I'm obviously walking the road......"
Qi Tianyang took a sip, "This ghost is not duty, he actually wants to hook people's lives." ”
As he spoke, his face filled with anger, and he turned around and glared fiercely at the lonely tomb.
"What are you going to do?"
"Move the old woman, Lao Tzu dug his grave!" Qi Tianyang walked back to the ridge with a step and shook off his body in the mud, and when he walked to the grave, he suddenly paused and asked me again, "Hey, strange, you haven't dug up the soil of his grave yet, have you?" ”
I shook my head.
"That's not right, you didn't touch his grave, even if you disturbed him at noon, it would be okay to give you a moment of confusion and scare you, why do you want your life? You...... Did you promise him anything? ”
I shook my head again, "I didn't, oh, he said his house...... Oh no, my grave is leaking, and I promised to fix it for him, but he told me to ask him for a daughter-in-law, and he wants to be young and beautiful in a red jacket, where can I find him? So I ran out, but I couldn't run away......"
Qi Tianyang patted his head, "Fool, if he wants you, just promise him, just find a paper tie gentleman and give him a paper daughter-in-law!" Don't say one, ten will do. Remember, you must do what you promised the ghosts, or they will haunt you with their lives. ”
Only then did I understand what the dead ghost old man meant when he finally asked me for a daughter-in-law, it turned out that the wife he wanted was made of paper, and if he burned it, he could be his mother-in-law, and I couldn't help but be shocked.
"Forget it, this old man is quite pitiful, the graves are so broken, presumably he has been living a difficult life before his death, and he has never enjoyed anything in his life, let's fill in the grave for him, burn a paper wife for him, don't dig his grave, we have to borrow his grave soil." I whispered to Qi Tianyang.
Qi Tianyang patted my head, "Okay, fortunately, you're fine, if something goes wrong, I'll ...... Ay! This kind of person is indeed pitiful, I want to dig up his ancestors for eighteen generations and can't find where they are......"
I had black lines all over my head, "Can you not be so violent in the future......"
Under his gaze, I climbed to the old man's grave, picked up a handful of soil from it, put it in my little purse, and then crawled down tremblingly.
I saw that Qi Tianyang had already borrowed an iron drill from the nearby villagers, and helped the old man fill in the grave on the side, "There is a pit here, and there is always water, no wonder the old man asked people to repair his grave." ”
Looking at his appearance, I couldn't help laughing, this person, I don't know when I will be able to get rid of my hard-mouthed and soft-hearted problem.
I fastened the purse full of soil from the nine graves and hung it around his neck, and little by little he removed the black umbrella from his head.
My heart tightened when the sun hit his face, but his skin was intact, and in the golden sunlight, except for the fact that it looked a little pale, it did not appear to be burned by the sun as before.
I jumped for joy, "Great! You'll never have to carry that broken umbrella again! ”
Qi Tianyang was also very happy, but he was not as excited as I did, but his face was full of color, and he also had a little bit of a long-lost look at the sun, opening his arms, raising his head and closing his eyes, feeling the scorching sun scattered on him.
All the way home, Qi Tianyang really did not break his promise, and went to the market town to find a paper gentleman, and tied a paper daughter-in-law to the old man that met his requirements, and burned it on his grave, so that it was over.
When it was all done, I remembered to ask him, "Hey, by the way, why did you suddenly show up when I was hit by a ghost on the wall just now?" ”
Qi Tian glanced at me, "It's not because you're disobedient, I told you to come back before twelve o'clock, I interrogated Lao Xu, and at the same time, I had to pay attention to the time, to see if you came back, and I didn't see your shadow until twelve o'clock, I knew that something must have happened to you." ”
"So you're here to save the beauty, aren't you?" I laughed.
Qi Tianyang "cut" and touched the purse on his chest, "I'm here for the grave soil, okay, you are so disobedient, I shouldn't have taken care of you at that time, let you directly drag the old man down as a daughter-in-law." ”
"Be his daughter-in-law!?" As soon as I thought of the goosebumps and crane hair scratching my head, mixed with folds, less than my shoulder-height, I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body, and I chased Qi Tianyang and fought, "Then I'll send you to Tianshan Tong as a confiner, no, the old demon of Montenegro!" ”
"Okay, don't make trouble, we have to go back for a while, close Lao Xu, and then go to the city to find He Feng to see which way the immortal is, who has been unable to get along with us."
Qi Tianyang put his arm around me and said.
"You interrogated Lao Xu in the morning and yesterday night, and you couldn't ask anything?" I asked, worried.
