Chapter 15: The Trace of Corruption
This ghost has been engaged in tomb robbery and grave digging for many years, and he has a lot of experience in strange things, seeing that he is so confident, the second uncle is also thinking, he must have seen something.
In fact, the things in this world are unprofitable and unflattering, and the ghost three wants to help the little girl find her mother, and it is not as simple as doing good deeds, of course he has his own purpose, but this is all for later, but the brothers do not have the heart to harm others.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the second uncle was about to leave, but the ghost stopped him, saying that there was still a treasure, and he needed to wait a few days, so he didn't have to rush to go elsewhere.
When the second uncle heard that there was still a treasure, he naturally became interested, and asked what it was, and the ghost smiled and didn't talk about it, but just said, the short is three days, the long is five days, and the baby must be brought to the second uncle, during this period, the little girl's mother must be saved.
The second uncle was very confused, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in the ghost three gourds, but how to save people? He was also very curious, anyway, it would only take a few days, and it would be okay to wait, and see what he did?
Oni San asked Oni Four to go to the town and buy some gauze, glass bottles and the like, and then made several nets out of steel wire. In the evening, I called the second uncle and the little girl, and we went to the stinky ditch in the south of the town to catch fireflies......
The second uncle was very curious and asked the third ghost, what are you doing to catch this firefly? Ghost San sighed lightly: "Mr. Big is very knowledgeable, but he doesn't know that rotten grass is a firefly, and it is actually a lonely ghost." ”
Really a lonely ghost? The second uncle frowned in surprise.
"Well, these fireflies are all ghosts...... "Oni San smiled slightly.
The second uncle looked at the ghost third in disbelief, and felt that this was really nonsense, these two brothers touched things every day, and they were all masters who did not believe in evil.
Seeing the second uncle's confused appearance, the third ghost couldn't help laughing: "I'm teasing you, of course the fireflies are not ghosts, it's just... It has a special purpose. ”
Then, Onizo explained that there are many ghost fires in the graves, but in fact, they are the natural result of phosphorus in the hair, bones, and nails of dead people, and the principle of this luminescence is the same as the principle of glowing the buttocks of fireflies.
Collect fireflies in bottles, make small lights, and use ghost fire to illuminate them, so that you can see things that you can't usually see.
The second uncle gasped, and there is still such a statement? What I said earlier makes sense, but what I said later... It's amazing to be able to see things that you can't normally see!
"San, what do you mean? Can you see ghosts? The second uncle was surprised.
The ghost old Sanyi toothed Hanako: "The ghost is not a ghost, let's not talk about it first, let's work first, tonight, if it goes well, we can find her mother." ”
The second uncle was extremely stunned, and followed everyone to catch fireflies, and after two or three hours of work, several bottles were almost filled, and the fireflies nearby were almost caught by them.
The bottom of the bottle is a thin layer of water, the mouth of the bottle is covered with white gauze, and then the monkey skin band is tied. Not to mention, these glittering fireflies gather together, and it's really bright! No less than a candle-lit lantern!
When it was done, each of them carried a bottle and walked back, and the ghost asked the second uncle if he wanted to go with them to find the little girl's mother.
The second uncle was full of curiosity, although he knew that there might be danger, but he was not afraid of the two old fritters, and nodded in agreement.
A few people went out of the village, all the way to the cemetery in Zhangzhuang, the ghost three explained clearly, along the way, no matter what you see or hear, don't make a sound, let alone look back, the second uncle is responsible for taking care of this girl, if the child is frightened and screaming, just cover her mouth!
Originally, everyone didn't think there was anything, making him so white, he was a little hairy, and the little girl was even more frightened and trembling!
Ghost San'er stroked the child's head and comforted: "Nier, don't be afraid, there are uncles here, don't dare to scream, it's important to get your mother back, if you find a clue, drag my clothes!" ”
The little girl nodded in horror, yes, compared to hell, the feeling of not having a mother is more terrifying!
Everyone lined up and walked forward, the third ghost was in the front, the fourth ghost was broken, and in the middle were the second uncle and the little girl. The second uncle walked all the way, and I felt... In addition to the color of this firefly light bottle, it is no different from other light sources, and everything around the village is still the same.
Tonight's moon is very hazy, with rough edges, the village road is late at night, the fog rises, the coolness is bursting, the unknown insects are screaming, the smell of grass and earth mixed with the smell of cow dung stimulates the olfactory nerves, and the tension is even more intense.
The two villages are next to each other, walking and walking, the second uncle feels that something is wrong, although he has not been to the fifth brigade of Zhangzhuang, but this is not like the road to the cemetery, the ghost three took the second uncle, and walked around in Zhangzhuang Village. He had been to this village a few times before, so he was quite familiar......
I want to ask the ghost third, but I don't dare to say anything, people have explained it before, don't talk nonsense, and you can't look back.
After all, the second uncle was an adult, and he began to feel a little ridiculous, but after a while, a subtle discovery made his hair stand on end, and his body trembled violently!
He saw that there was something strange about the firefly lamp bottle! Under the faint green halo, the scene observed in the aperture and outside the aperture is different!
At the edge of the glass bottle, within the shimmering and blurred halo of an inch wide, he saw the dry graves, and what he saw outside the aperture was all the tiled houses in the village!
Oh, my God! The second uncle's heart is pounding, this... Fuck, it's already the fifth brigade! There was no warning before, what an evil door! Cold sweat began to flow down his sideburns, and his heart rose to his throat.
Continuing to wander around the "village", the second uncle heard that the people passing by along the way, in the closed courtyard gate, came to the movement of Xi Xi Suosuo, like the old lady in the village, the curse-like muttering, which intensified his fear!
He didn't dare to look around, his eyes were fixed on the edge of the firefly lamp bottle, trying to see the real road ahead! Unfortunately, the range of this aperture is too small, and I can't see anything clearly in a little flicker, so I can only stabilize my mind and continue to walk cautiously and steadily.
Walking and walking, there was a "squeak" movement behind him, passing by, the courtyard door opened, as if something was following, and even clear footsteps could be heard, the second uncle was even more nervous, swallowing hard and spitting, fortunately, there was a stupid ghost after the four breaks, otherwise, let him walk in the back, he must be scared of heart disease!
At this time, there was a sudden wail of a woman in front of her, like the severe pain of childbirth, hearing this movement, the "villagers" behind us did not follow us, and retreated, and at the same time, the second uncle saw by the moonlight that in front of a yard not far away, there was an electric car parked!
Electric car? The second uncle's heart was shocked, the little girl said before, she heard the electric car ringing before she went out to check, and then after some shock, her mother was gone, and her electric car was lost!
Now that I see the electric car, Chen Xiaoshou must be this "family" who delivered the baby.
Seeing her car, the girl was excited and scared, and pulled the ghost child's clothes tightly, and the ghost child understood and patted her shoulder comfortingly.
When I walked to the house, the woman's screams were heard more vividly, and there was still a faint ...... Another woman shouted, "Hard! Go hard! Soon! ”
The person who listened to that sound had goosebumps all over his body, and he looked carefully at the lantern, and the gate of the courtyard, in the circle of fireflies, was dark and couldn't see anything clearly, but it seemed... There were vague outlines of masonry, right in front of me, and it felt like I was in a tomb, and I couldn't see anything in any large area.
At this time, the ghost third bent down and whispered softly in the little girl's ear, and the second uncle couldn't hear what he was saying, only to see the girl nodding tremblingly.
After that, the third ghost leaned into the second uncle's ear and whispered: "Let the fourth child take you back first, and I will stay......"
The second uncle was startled, staring at the ghost third in disbelief, swallowing and foaming.
After explaining to the ghost four, the second uncle and the little girl followed the ghost four to continue to move forward, this time... After the second uncle broke off, his whole body tensed, and he felt that his back was "frozen...... I really regret coming out with this guy!
After going around and around, he finally returned to the original village, and the ghost four yawned and turned back to ask the second uncle for cigarettes, and the second uncle came back to his senses, and his whole body was already soaked in cold sweat!
"Fourth! What the hell is your brother doing? The second uncle asked nervously.
The ghost old man scratched his head stupidly: "I don't know, my brother asked us to go back first, and we will pick up that girl in a while." ”
Everyone returned to the ghost house, waiting, waiting, waiting, until after the first rooster crowed, there was finally a knock on the door.
After opening the door, but the ghost san walked in with a woman covered in dirt on his back! A musty and smelly stench greets your nose!
"Mom!" The little girl recognized it at once, and cried and threw herself forward.
The second uncle stood in the yard in a daze, his heart was pounding, looking at the woman on the back of the ghost three, the dirty was no longer there, and there was a strong stench, this... It's a fucking corpse!
Putting the person flat on the bed, the second uncle was surprised to see that her chest was still slightly undulating, the person was still alive, but her face was pale and stiff, her lips were dry and peeling, like a dead corpse, and what was frightening was that her two little hands were as black as thick ink, cracked like charcoal, and the thick stench was emanating from her hands!
"Fourth, glutinous rice!" Oni-san shouted.
Ghost Four hurriedly took out a jar of glutinous rice from the back room, and Ghost Three grabbed some and put it on Chen Xiaoshou's hand.
"Snort~~"
There was a burning crunch, the smell of stinky hairs burning with proteins, and the smell of stinky fish and rotten shrimp overflowed the room.......
