Chapter 3: The Old Woman in Black
A few days later, the female Taoist priest, who always had a cold face, left Sifang Town alone with a blanket.
And the little Taoist aunt Jiang Qixi stayed in my house.
Mother seems to like this ugly and crooked little Taoist aunt very much, often holding Jiang Qixi, walking in the old town, and saying when she meets people, "This is Xi'er, the little daughter-in-law of my old Chen family!" ”
I pouted, to be honest, I don't like Jiang Qixi at all.
In my opinion, what can a little Dao aunt who is older than me have the ability?
Jiang Qixi is not annoyed, I follow wherever I go, I always carry a bulging little flower bag, and the soil is dead!
Even if I sometimes deliberately walked into the toilet, Jiang Qixi didn't cover her face and run away like other girls, but squatted on the ground and looked back at me from time to time.
"Jiang Qixi! Don't be ashamed! I said angrily.
Jiang Qixi rolled his eyes, "I'm not afraid, everyone in the town knows that you are my little father-in-law!" If I don't look at you, maybe a little ghost will crawl out of the pit and drag you away! ”
I was trembling, and when I heard Jiang Qixi's words, my heart was shocked, and my urine trembled to the hem of my pants.
I pushed open the latrine, clamped my legs, and slowly moved home.
"Scared, scared?" Jiang Qixi was dumbfounded.
I glared back at the culprit in annoyance, "It's not that I'm scared to pee, it's suddenly crooked, it's blown crooked by the wind, and then it's got my pants." ”
Jiang Qixi covered his lower abdomen and laughed.
In fact, in Sifang Town, there are no children who want to play with me.
It is estimated that their grandparents will secretly point to me and say that this is a baby who is worried about ghosts, don't play with him.
So, under normal circumstances, only Jiang Qixi is by my side.
Accompany me to play with stones, play with planes, and play with everything that can relieve boredom.
Of course, playing too much of these things is also extremely boring.
I often asked my mother when I could go to school. You know, I'm 10 years old, but I can only circle around my house all day long.
Every time the three dogs next door walked past the gate of my yard with a fancy schoolbag on their backs, they would always stop and pretend to tie their shoes.
Dog's day, showing off again, going to the second grade of primary school, making it look like the champion entering Beijing to thank the list.
But I was still shamelessly envious.
My father went out with my uncle to do business and promised me that when I came home this year, he would bring me a fancy schoolbag.
My mother, on the other hand, never planned to let me go to a primary school more than ten miles away, because in her heart, knowledge can change fate, but it can't change fate.
After all, I'm a ghostly kid.
Fortunately, Master Hu taught me to read since I was a child, and I actually read all the stacks of vernacular books, feng shui burial customs, literary novels, and even extremely obscure geographical chronicles.
The knowledge I have gained also made me ignorant, and my destiny seems to be really bad.
Jiang Qixi is a good boy, continuing the tradition of Master Hu wiping my back with incense burner ashes. He also follows me all day long, and will take advantage of his free time to help his mother with work, feed pigs, chop vegetables and steam porridge, and rush to do everything.
I sometimes tell my mother that she is so ugly, so let's change it.
Mother always turned around and smiled, Xi'er is not ugly, she has not grown, but she is a great beauty.
Naturally, I don't believe it.
The little black pig at home has grown into a big black pig, and I haven't seen it become more and more pleasing?
In my heart, I always have some resistance to Jiang Qixi, the little Taoist aunt who took the liberty of breaking into my life.
This small mood lasted until the end of September.
In autumn, the town of Sifang began to cool down, and occasionally an autumn rain would fall, hitting the old tiles on the roof, clattering.
Jiang Qixi told my mother about me sneaking away to the back mountain.
My mother panicked, looked at me, and locked me in my room in anger.
"Jiang Qixi, you traitor!"
I shook the door and shouted angrily.
Jiang Qixi said to me lightly through the door, "Do you know that your life path is different, and if you run around, the little ghost in the mountains will take you away." ”
Although I was at a loss, I still stood up to her, "Aren't you Aunt Dao, don't you want to protect me, you went to catch ghosts, and I haven't seen you catch them!" ”
"You just don't know." Jiang Qixi sighed.
Then, Jiang Qixi's steps slowly walked away.
I'm very angry, since Jiang Qixi came, my mother seems to listen to her for many things.
"Liar!" I scolded.
Outside the house, another autumn rain fell at the right time, and the raindrops fell on the windowsill and splashed on my body.
"Spring Lady! It's raining, close the window. Mother shouted outside.
I got up, gritted my teeth, and grabbed an umbrella and flipped out of the windowsill.
Jiang Qixi! Without you! Master, I can turn evil into good fortune!
I didn't know where I was going, but it was getting dark.
On the alleys of the town, there were some frightened passers-by who were sheltering from the rain at first, but after a while, I was the only one left, holding a small black umbrella, walking alone in the darkening night.
When I walked to a fork, there was a sudden strange wind, and the small black umbrella in my hand was snatched away by the strange wind.
I reached for it in a panic, but I could only watch as the little black umbrella was blown farther and farther away.
Without the little black umbrella, the night rain fell on the body unscrupulously, soaking the body and making the body cold.
"Baby, baby."
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting from behind.
Turning his head in a hurry, he saw an old woman in black sitting cross-legged at the door of a dilapidated courtyard.
The face is full of old folds, the mouth is pointed, and he is holding a handful of things in his hand, constantly stuffing it into his mouth, like shredded meat.
Chew with great joy.
"Baby, come here, shelter from the rain." The old woman grinned and waved at me, her voice hoarse.
I didn't move.
Master Hu said that my fate is full of disasters, I am a yin guest, I belong to the ghost road but walk in the world.
Not to mention the terrible ghosts who waited for me in the hell of the underworld, there were many people around me who were jealous and hated and wanted to tear me apart.
The old woman stuffed another strip into her mouth and continued to wave at me as she chewed.
I hurriedly ran back, there must be a demon when something goes wrong! An old woman squatted in front of the broken yard on a rainy night, holding a handful of shredded meat to eat, picking her mouth while eating, no matter how you look at it, she feels that it is not very important.
I suddenly felt that Jiang Qixi was very right, and I was always remembered by ghosts.
The old woman looked up, and when she saw that I had not moved, she began to curse viciously.
I hurriedly turned around and ran backwards with my legs spread.
Suddenly, the leg was tripped and the whole person fell to the ground, covered in muddy water.
I looked down and saw nothing underneath my feet.
Ghost tripper?
Master Hu has talked about many methods of ghosts, ghosts hit the wall, ghosts trip people, ghosts lead the way, and ghosts climb backs......
Undoubtedly, I tripped over a ghost.
The old woman in black had already stood up on her feet, and quickly ran towards me on her stomach.
I was so anxious that my back was cold, but I couldn't get up with the strength to get up.
"Baby, baby." The old woman in black brought a dead blue pleated face in front of me, and opened her mouth wide to reveal her dense fangs.
How can humans have such dense fine teeth!
"Baby, you help me take a look, it's uncomfortable."
I fumbled for the rubble on the ground as I looked up.
In the open mouth of the old woman in black, a small strand of flesh was stuck between her teeth.
"Baby, this is dried potatoes, you help me pick it off, my hands are sore."
It's obviously shredded meat, but it's said to be dried potatoes.
When I was a child, Master Hu told me many stories about the spirit to repay his kindness, such as being caught in the leg by a hunter, or a weasel begging for a seal......
I reached out and put my hand into the old woman's gaping mouth, thinking that after helping her pull out the stuck flesh, she would let me go.
As soon as the finger reached her mouth, the old woman bit it together!
Dense fangs slashed at the fingertips, oozing blood.
My scalp was so frightened that it exploded, this old thing is trying to eat me in a different way!
Seeing that she had not succeeded, the old woman grinned and begged in a shrill voice, "Baby, baby, you catch it again, help me catch it!" ”
Where did I dare to reach out again, shrink my hands under my body, and cover them tightly.
The old woman in black screamed loudly, looking extremely angry, and the fangs in her mouth grinded loudly.
I don't know why those ghostly thoughts are always so abrupt, maybe it's always different from people.
The old woman in black finished screaming, twisted her body, lowered her head and stared at me viciously.
The night rain was still falling, my clothes were already soaked, and the alleys were dark and long.
I suddenly remembered Jiang Qixilai.
Jiang Qixi, you crow's mouth, I'm a ghost again!
