"So, just like that, you're saved?" After listening to Zhu Liu's description, I couldn't help but ask, although it was a thrilling night for Zhu Liu, but listening to her like this, it was indeed a little funny, and I couldn't help laughing.

Seeing me laughing like this, Zhu Liu glared at me dissatisfied, pursed his lips, and said to me: "You really have no conscience, I was almost taken away by those strange things, and you still laugh at me." "But it's funny." I couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes and asked, "What do you think, at such a critical juncture, you are still in the mood to care about the voices of others." When Zhu Liu heard me mention this matter again, he beat me dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Don't say it again, that's what I thought at the time, what can I do?" ”

"Okay, okay, I'll stop talking." I changed the topic and thought of a question, and I asked Zhu Liu curiously: "You said that you heard that thing saying that it was too late, and then they all disappeared, what does that sentence mean?" Zhu Liu frowned in distress when she heard me ask her, but she thought quietly for a while and guessed: "I don't know what it means, but after those things left, as soon as I lifted the quilt, I found that the sun came out, looking from the window, I could vaguely see a large red light in the east, and the sky would soon be bright, do you say that what they said would mean that it was dawn." ”

"It's dawn. Time is running out. I thought about these two sentences in my mind repeatedly, which easily reminded me of those things, I paced a few steps in the room, and when I looked up, I suddenly saw a calendar hanging in the room, which was a very thin paper, but because it was written 365 days, it was also accumulated into a thick book, with large green characters, silver hook iron paintings, faintly revealing a bit of sharpness, on which were painted the twelve zodiac signs, as well as the prediction of good luck and evil, suitable things to do, and taboo things of the day.

This is the Yellow Calendar, how did it appear here, there must be other reasons I don't know.

This hotel is run by an old couple, so there will be such a sense of age on the wall, we stayed in this hotel for so many days, every morning when the husband and wife come to clean up the room, they will tear a calendar, usually I don't care, today suddenly looked up like this, this morning's calendar has not been torn, so the top one, or yesterday's date.

A few big green characters on the calendar are unusually bright, and I saw a few big words written on it: "In the middle of July, except for sacrifices, everything is not appropriate." ”

Seeing that I was staring closely at a direction on the wall, Zhu Liu also looked at me with my line of sight, and then I also found this calendar, but Zhu Liu is not as sensitive to these things as I am, after all, since I have been in college, I have been in contact with some strange things and some gods and Taoist priests and the like, so I am naturally more sensitive to these things than Zhu Liu, Zhu Liu swept the calendar, and asked suspiciously: "What are you staring at this calendar for?" Is there anything strange about this? ”

I looked back at her and slowly explained, "You don't understand this, but I'm sure what happened to you last night has something to do with this day. "I already have a general idea of what happened last night.

Zhu Liu was surprised when she heard me say to her so surely, she looked at me with wide eyes, and asked in disbelief: "These things are really related to this time, what time was yesterday, how could it be so magical?" ”

I sat on the bed, looked at her with a smile, bought the guanzi, I shook my head, pretended to be regretful, and said to Zhu Liu: "You have been a human being for so long, and you don't even know the customs of human beings, don't you know what day the seventh half of the month is?" Zhu Liu pouted dissatisfiedly when I said this, although he was also very curious, but he still had a hard mouth: "What day?" A beauty like me is only used for Valentine's Day, and I don't need to remember other days. ”

I smiled and slowly spat out two words: "Halloween." "Halloween?" Hearing me say this, Zhu Liu gasped and exclaimed.

"yes. Halloween. "I gave her a popular science" That is to say, yesterday was the day of the night walk of a hundred ghosts, and yesterday you encountered those strange things were not people, but ghosts, and they were ghosts that had just been released from the ghost gate. The yin qi on your body is the heaviest, so as soon as they approach you, you feel a cool air. ”

"Every year on the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the Midyear Festival, also known as the "Bon Festival", "Bon Festival" In a certain sense, the Midyear Festival belongs to Taoism, and the Bon Festival belongs to Buddhism, also known as the Day of the Dead, and the half of July. "Halloween", commonly known as "July and a half". It is said that the ancestors who died were released by the king of Hades for half a month in early July, so there is a custom of receiving ancestors in early July and sending ancestors in half of July. Rich or poor, they should prepare food and drink, paper money, and pay tribute to the deceased to show their remembrance of their deceased ancestors. The midyear festival is generally seven days, and on this day of July 15, it is the last day for the soul to stay in the world, the gate of hell will be closed, and if they want to come up with it again, they can only wait until the next year, so on this day, if all the ghosts have any unfulfilled wishes, or have something to do, they must choose this day to complete, July 15 is the festival of all ghosts, on this day, a hundred ghosts walk at night, and all people can only give ghosts to avoid, calling ghosts have no taboos.

Of course, if you are brave, you can also try to go out at night, but it is very likely that on this night, nine out of ten people you meet are ghosts. But these ghosts are controlled by Hades, and under normal circumstances, they can't hurt people casually, and if they hurt people for no reason, they will be punished by Hades when they return to the underworld. ”

"Then according to what you mean, these ghosts don't dare to do bad things casually, but last night, why did these ghosts appear, and they disappeared with a big beard."

"That's because ......" I was just about to explain, when I was suddenly interrupted by a voice, I saw a small red leather ball rolled in from the outside, the small leather ball rolled to my feet, smashed on the floor and made a "bang bang" sound, it was this voice that interrupted my conversation with Zhu Liu, I looked at the small leather ball that was rolling under my feet, bent down and picked it up, this leather ball looked like a child's plaything, I walked to the door, looked around, but I didn't see anyone, strange, Just now the little kid was playing with the ball here, why didn't he see it in a blink of an eye, I frowned, I didn't see anyone, I was puzzled for a while, I didn't want to care, and it wasn't a big deal, I just said something to Zhu Liu before I finished it, I took the ball and turned around and was about to walk into the room, at this time, I suddenly saw a red corner of the corner exposed, I frowned, and wondered: Who is hiding so sneakily, and then raised the volume, Shouted there, "Who is it?" ”

As soon as my words fell, the person moved, and he didn't want to get out of there, and the figure flashed, and I found out that the person hiding there was actually a little girl, the little girl was wearing a red skirt, I just saw a corner, the little girl looked white and clean, with two ponytails, and looked particularly cute, but her expression looked a little sluggish, after coming out of the corner, she stood there timidly, holding her right hand with her left hand, looking at me silently, and didn't speak, I think it was probably my reaction just now that scared her, so I smiled at her awkwardly and said, "Little sister, my sister didn't mean it, I thought there were bad people?" ”

She didn't react to my words, just nodded slightly, and still stood there silently looking at me. In the face of such an indifferent child, I really don't know what to do, I feel that the smile on my face has been hanging for so long, and my face is about to be sour. I just wanted to send her away as soon as possible, thinking of this, I walked directly to her and asked with a smile, "Is this ball yours?" Auntie, okay with you? ”

She saw the little ball, there was no surprise I imagined, looking at my expectant eyes, she reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and then took the ball, without saying a word, turned and went downstairs, looking very indifferent.

Looking at her figure slowly disappearing at the bottom of the stairs, I suddenly felt a little strange: if she lived below, how could a small child run upstairs to play alone without the company of her parents, but then I calmed down again, looking at her appearance, she is a very lonely child, and it is understandable to find a quiet place to play alone.

"What are you looking at?" A voice suddenly interrupted my contemplation and startled me, I hurriedly turned around and found that it was actually Zhu Liu, it turned out that she saw that I had not returned for a long time, so she had to come out with me to have a look.

I patted my chest and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Why are you, you scared me to death." ”

Zhu Liu smiled: "Is it so scary?" What were you just looking at, so fascinating. I remembered the little girl who had just worn a red dress, she was a little weird, and she was shocked, but even so, she still shook her head lightly and said lightly: "It's nothing." Didn't I just finish talking to you? ”

"Yes, yes." When Zhu Liu heard my reminder, she slapped her head heavily, she remembered her missing partner, and asked worriedly: "You said that the bearded people have lost their ghosts, will there be any danger?" ”
