Chapter 9 Seventy-Seven Sacrifice
It was the most terrifying night I've had in decades.
I watched all the strange things happen to me......
The water-stained ripple has been lingering beside the paper figure, like the finger of a living person.
Grandpa Wu re-lit the extinguished candle several times, but it was extinguished instantly, and the red silk threads around the four candles were soaked with water somehow, and I could even feel that the woven net was soft and wet, and the smell soaked in the net was cool and cold, from the nose to the heart.
I was distracted at this moment, and my eyes couldn't help glancing at the night outside the window, but there was a scene of horror climbing through the window, and in a flash, I felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes somewhere, dripping and turning, like a sharp drill, to penetrate into my heart!
At this time, the ripple marks suddenly broke the dry leaves, the leaves became a pile of floating yellow-green slag, the paper figures floating on the black curtain, the head was instantly soaked with water, the red silk threads instantly stretched straight, and the candlelight of the remaining three candles began to flicker......
My heart sank, and I almost didn't cry out, and a chill seeped down my spine, from top to bottom.
I felt a cold air coming from the soles of my feet to my head, it was too cold, looking at the paper figure that was gradually being submerged in water, my hands were clenched, and I suddenly felt a little stiff in my fingers......
Grandpa Wu made a silent gesture at me, and then he opened his eyes angrily, and the green tendons in the corners of his forehead swelled with the rough breathing, which looked extremely scary.
Grandpa Wu's movements were very neat, covering the entire edge of the bowl with a red silk wire net, and quickly pulling out the paper figure soaked in water, but the paper figure only pulled lightly, broke into wet pieces, and hung on the red silk thread scattered.
He picked up a piece of thin paper to cover the bowl, quickly put the bowl on the table, only to hear a 'bang', the bowl shattered, the candle was extinguished, and it fell into darkness in an instant.
I tensed my body, I didn't dare to move, in the dark, there were cold water dripping on the back of my hand, I was startled, and shouted, "Grandpa Wu......"
"Shut up!"
Grandpa Wu's gasping voice, after a minute, he lit the candle again.
Grandpa Wu seemed to have exhausted all his previous strength, as if it was a woodcut, and only when he saw that his eyes rolled, he saw that he was a living thing.
"Grandpa Wu!"
He didn't even have the strength to speak at the moment, just like that posture and look, I was frightened, and immediately got off the kang to go to Wu Zhen, but Grandpa Wu moved his stiff fingers, meaning to let me not go.
I stood at the door and didn't know what to do, Grandpa Wu looked so scary like this, like he was dying.
At this time, outside the door, there was something white overflowing from the crack in the door, I took a step back and looked outside, the white moon gradually came out of the thick fog, the light was very faint, but then the moon disappeared again, so that the white fog swallowed everything and surrounded here.
"Come back... Sit down ......"
Grandpa Wu stumbled as he spoke, but his face was still ugly.
"Bei Nuan? Grandfather? ”
At this time, Wu Kai's voice came from outside the door, and he could be heard running over very quickly.
Grandpa Wu's green tendons covered his forehead, "This stinky boy ......"
I listened to him speak, but I didn't dare to make a sound again, the next second, Wu Kai kicked the door open, but there was no white fog outside the door, in the dark night, in addition to seeing Wu Jing rushing in, there was also a gray ghost lingering above Wu Kai's head, and it disappeared in a flash.
But Grandpa Wu fell......
I looked at the moon outside the door at this time, and the bright moonlight seemed to have become cold.
……
Since this night, Grandpa Wu seems to be seriously ill, the next day the person is awake, his speech has become unfavorable, some stammering, the Wu family asked what is going on, I stood behind Wu Zhan, buried my head and did not dare to speak.
Wu Zhen pulled his parents out to talk, and when only Grandpa Wu and I were left in the room, Grandpa Wu looked at me with all his strength, "I'm here... Old bones, is fast.. It's the end of life, hehe, he's menacing, I can only help you block this time, if you don't understand the fate, you will be reincarnated in the world, and your bell solver is destined to be a ghost. ”
Grandpa Wu fell asleep as he spoke, the Wu family originally believed in the evil sect, and found many people to show Grandpa Wu, but they all walked away in disgrace, and some even ran away as soon as they walked to the door.
Afterwards, Wu asked me what was going on? But I didn't count it in my heart, so I just shook my head, "I don't know, but Grandpa Wu should only be able to help me this time......"
Wu looked at me inexplicably, "What do you mean?" There has never been a ghost thing that my grandfather can't see, what is it that haunts you, my grandfather didn't say? ”
I frowned and shook my head, "I didn't say it clearly, Wu Yan... You said that the dead man's seven days are over, is it all right? Last night's yin should be his seven-seven ......"
Wu Jingsheng's face was solemn when he heard this, "Generally speaking, the most important thing is Qiqi, from the third day of the burial of the dead, in addition to filling the grave, and then every seven days a sacrifice, until Qiqi, and when these are over, there seems to be a 'hundred days', that is, the deceased died for a hundred days, this day is also a relatively large scale of sacrifices, but it also depends on who the family ......"
Saying that, Wu Yan frowned and looked at my face, and said as if speculating, "If it is a big family like the Fang family, there will be rules in all aspects, and Mrs. Fang is so weird, Bao Buqi will find a way to see the last side of the dead man that day......"
