On the moon on the willow tops, there are still many diners in the store. Linlang was holding her cheeks and looking at the street outside the door, and Cai Wei walked out of the kitchen with a food box.

"Linlang, you go to Chengxijing's mother-in-law to deliver some food, I heard that she has not been in good health recently." Cai Wei placed the food box in front of the table.

It is said that Granny Jing used to be an old beggar on the streets of Luoyang, and it rained heavily every day, and there were no guests in the inn. Granny Jing hadn't eaten seriously for a few days and fainted in front of the inn. Seeing that she was pitiful, Cai Wei invited Lang Zhong for her, boiled a bowl of soft and glutinous sweet rice porridge, and fed her a spoonful in person, so that Granny Jing could be considered to have picked up a life.

After raising in the inn for some time, Granny Jing finally got better. When she resigned, she was very grateful, Cai Wei knew that she was old, and she was not at ease, so she paid her own money and rented a small yard in the west of the city for her. I heard that she can embroider and sew clothes, and occasionally take some work for her, so that Granny Jing can also take care of herself, and she will no longer faint on the street with hunger.

At noon today, Cai Wei heard a diner say that Granny Jing seemed to have contracted a cold a few days ago, and she hadn't seen her go out in the past few days.

Cai Wei couldn't rest assured, but she couldn't leave for a while when she was busy in the inn. Although she had already invited Lang Zhong to come over at noon, Lang Zhong went back and forth, saying that he was indeed infected with wind and cold, but it was not very serious. It's just that my mother-in-law is old, and such a minor illness will have to be taken care of for a long time. Now, she has to let Linlang run again, so that she can really feel at ease.

Linlang is very happy, it's better than being confined to an inn, there is no fun. She carried the food box and headed west happily.

The west end of Luoyang City is not a prosperous place. Presumably, it can be said that the commercial area of the city is desolate and barbaric. Although there are many households, they are all poor. Every time I go to Granny Jing's residence, I have to pass by a family, no one lives in it for a long time, the yard is dark, the house has been on fire before, the house is burned down only a frame, and the weeds grow all over the yard, and the grass grows half a person high. I heard some old people say that this family was originally a family of three, a foreigner, surnamed Chen, who fled a long time ago during a famine. At that time, it was winter, and the family was in rags, cold and hungry, and almost died. Someone looked pitiful, and brought cotton clothes and quilts, and brought gruel and steamed buns. They were given this house to settle down here.

Everything was fine, but it didn't take long for strange things to happen around here. Either the chickens are lost, or the sheep are gone. Some people said that it was the bad luck brought by the family surnamed Chen, but before their family came, nothing like this had ever happened. But everyone has no real evidence, and it's hard to say anything. Until a newborn doll was lost, some people said that they once saw the Chen family turning in front of the door of the house where the doll was lost. Some people said that one night they saw their house, barbecued meat in the house and ate it, and the family of three all had long nails, green fangs, and blood-red eyes, and they were scared to death. Someone said again that maybe it was human flesh that was eaten. Everyone said more and more terrible, so people were afraid, how can there be a monster who eats people here, they all took hoes, sickles and ran to the Chen family's house, no matter what the Chen family said they would not believe, the stick blew people away, and burned the house.

Later, everyone thought that after driving people away, everything should calm down. But it didn't come to pass, the village still threw some chickens, ducks and geese from time to time, and everyone began to panic, until someone found a wolf den in the field, and found all kinds of animal hair in the wolf den, as well as a red belly pocket worn by children, people completely understood what was going on, everyone hated to kill the wolf inside, skinned, and ate meat to completely relieve hatred.

Later, some people heard that not long after the Chen family was kicked out, they froze and starved to death, and there was not a single survivor left. Since then, no one has mentioned the family.

Linlang arrived at Granny Jing's residence and brought out the noodle soup in the food box, which was still steaming. Granny Jing grinned and said, "It's hard for your mother and daughter to still remember my old woman, God has the virtue of a good life, and you will definitely have good fortune." ”

Linlang was full of joy when she heard this, decocted medicine for her mother-in-law, and waited for her to drink it, only to realize that the hour was not early, so she got up and said goodbye.

Before leaving, Granny Jing suddenly stopped her: "Good boy, pass by that family surnamed Chen, don't look back." ”

Linlang didn't care much about Granny Jing's words, because she had passed through that family countless times, and nothing wrong had happened. She only nodded slightly, and went out the door.

When Linlang really passed by the courtyard, Granny Jing's words made her curious. She looked into the courtyard by the moonlight, and it was dark and quiet, and there was nothing. She was about to walk forward when she heard a rustling sound in the grass. She quietly got up and walked over, thinking to herself that it was so late, could anyone else be here? Linlang took a few steps forward, but she didn't see anyone, and even there was no sound when she listened carefully. Linlang laughed, probably because she heard it wrong.

Linlang was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly a white shadow flew in front of her, she looked up, her brain buzzed, her heart was pounding, and she was about to jump out of her chest. The shadow didn't know if it was a human or a ghost, as if it was floating in mid-air, with its head scattered and its face invisible. She pretended to be calm and roared, "What is it? Pretend to be a ghost, be careful that this girl reports to the official and arrests you. ”

The object chuckled coldly, and suddenly a bloody mouth appeared, and flew towards her with teeth and claws. Linlang finally couldn't stand it anymore and screamed, the sound coming out of her throat was broken and sharp, and she was even startled by her own voice. The shadow heard her cry and swished away. She quickly turned around and ran quickly, until she reached the main street, she still felt cold behind her, as if there were footsteps following her, and the sound of da-da-da She wanted to look back, but suddenly remembered Granny Jing's words, don't look back. She didn't know what the result would be when she turned back, but no matter how bold she was, she would never dare to joke with her life. She held back her neck to turn back, ran back to the inn in a hurry, saw the lights in the inn, and saw her mother really dialing the abacus in front of the counter, she let out a long breath. Cai Wei saw that she was panting, nervous, and sweating again, and asked her with a smile, "What's wrong with this?" What the hell? ”

She hummed in a trembling voice, Cai Wei thought that Linlang was joking to scare her, so she shook her head and smiled and continued to dial her abacus, ignoring her again. Linlang went to the kitchen to wipe her face with a towel, went upstairs listlessly, fell on the bed, covered with a quilt, and sank into sleep with the sound of Xiaolianzi downstairs closing tables, chairs and benches.

The next day when he went to the school, Linlang was still trapped in the terrifying situation of last night, unable to extricate himself. She was rarely so scared, and she had seen a lot of ghosts before, but she hadn't seen a powerful ghost that was going to kill people. She was apprehensive, vaguely feeling that something unpredictable was about to happen.

Mu Qing saw that her expression was different, so he asked her what happened to make the most lively person on weekdays become like this. Linlang thought for a long time and whispered, "You may not believe me when I say it, I saw the hell last night." Dressed in white, with long floor-length hair and a blood-red mouth, he was scared to death. ”

Mu Qing's eyes widened when she heard what she said, looking very scared, could it be that she saw it too. Just as she wanted to ask Mu Qing, Mu Qing suddenly whispered loudly in her ear, Linlang was startled, and fell to the ground with a plop, Mu Qing pointed at her and laughed: "Are you also scared by that singing?" ”

Linlang didn't understand what it meant, so Mu Qing said that there was a singer in the city last night who walked in the street without removing his makeup, bluffing a lot of people. After Mu Qing finished speaking, he asked her again, "Why did you see it too?" ”

Linlang got up from the ground, patted the soil on his body, and asked, "Where is the scaring person who sings?" ”

Mu Qing thought for a while and said, "It's probably in the west of the city." ”

I was silent for a moment, and I always felt that something was wrong. The shadow she saw was indeed a person who could fly, and no one who sang could fly in the air. And she saw it so really, with a big mouth, how could it be human? Linlang's brain began to hurt again, and the picture didn't seem so clear anymore, could it really be just an illusion? Maybe it's too dark, even if there is moonlight, she can't see it so clearly, maybe it's really her mistake.

After getting out of the school, Linlang came to the courtyard alone, the same as when he came at night, the grass was half a man high, and the house was burned to charcoal, and there was nothing else but these. Linlang suddenly felt bored, although she still couldn't quite figure it out. But she has a good strength, she doesn't want to think about things that she can't figure out, and she is very good at self-comfort, in Cai Wei's words, she has a big heart. Of course, she doesn't come here again at night, lest she see anything unclean and no one will believe her. Who made her born different from others and had yin and yang eyes.
