Chapter 26: Imp
Aunt Huang walked very fast, and left my sight in a blink of an eye, and I followed Uncle Huang Shi in unison, and when I jumped out of the door, I found that the black figure was gone.
Did I just look dazzled?
Uncle Huang Shi shouted, "You haven't drunk the medicine yet!" As he spoke, he followed. I saw Aunt Huang go to the toilet from afar, I was embarrassed to stay here any longer, and it was already dark, so I said goodbye and went home, Uncle Huang Shi wanted to keep me for dinner, I politely refused.
It is about four or five minutes from Uncle Huang Shi to my house, and we have to pass a big locust tree in the lower courtyard, this locust tree is hundreds of years old, old and stout, and it takes three people to hold hands to hug it, and we often came here to play when we were children.
When I got here, I saw a child standing at the foot of the locust tree in the distance, and according to his figure, he must have been eight or nine years old, dressed in black, standing there upright, facing me, and looking at me without moving.
How so? I've seen a lot of weird things these days, and I've developed my guts, but when I saw the child, I was really shocked. One is that now that it is dark, the figure of the child looks blurry, giving people an inexplicable sense of weirdness; The second is that there are no eight or nine-year-old children in our village now, so where did this child come from? Third, why doesn't the kid move? Like a log and staring at me, I couldn't see his eyes clearly, but I was just stared at all over my body.
So I immediately slowed down, and cautiously came to a distance of more than two or three meters from the opposite child, I glanced at him, his face was gray, because the light was gray, his eyes were still dark, like two black holes, and what was even more depressing was that these two black holes were staring at me at this time, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was laughing, but it was a sneer, like the kind of smile that a hunter finds out when his prey is hooked, proud, sinister and ...... Uncanny!
It was a young and innocent child who let out such a weird laugh, and my heart immediately chuckled. After going through so many things, I was not a surprise person, but at this time, my heart was inexplicably nervous.
Suddenly, the child moved, slowly reached out his hand, and pointed straight at me.
I was already on the same line as him at this time, but I deliberately went off the rails, about two meters away from him, and when I saw him stretching out his hand to me, my footsteps involuntarily stopped, and the hair on my body stood on end, and I looked down, he had put away his sneer, and put on a very cold face, and I began to realize that he might not be human.
I remembered what my father said to me when he was leaving, don't make a fuss when you see something strange, let alone talk to me, just act as if you didn't see anything, but now, although I didn't come forward to talk to him, I fell in love with him head-on, and what was even more terrible was that he stretched out his hand to me.
What does he want to do?
At that moment, a man came out from behind the tree and called out to the child.
"Kid!"
The voice was low and hoarse, and it turned out to be an old man.
The old man walked up to the child, grabbed the child's hand and said, "It's late, it's time to go home." The child looked at the old man with a gloomy face, but he did not speak, and the old man raised his voice again and said, "If you don't go home, I will teach you a lesson." Then he glanced at me, took the child's hand and walked behind the tree. When they walked behind the tree, their figures disappeared at the same time.
Only then did I come to my senses, and the child I saw just now was a ghost, and the old man was also a ghost. The little ghost seemed to want to do something to me, and at the critical moment, the old man came out and pulled the little ghost away. The old man was obviously helping me.
Why should the old man help me?
Suddenly, a man appeared in front of me, the old man I had once given him a ride!
Yes, that's him!
I remembered what he once said to me: If you give me a ride, I will bless you for a lifetime. I was very moved, the old man did not break his promise, although it was not enough to bless me for a lifetime, but he really helped me.
When I got home, my mother saw that my face was not very good, and asked me about Aunt Huang's situation with concern, thinking that something had happened to Aunt Huang. On the road just now, I found that the figure of the little ghost under the locust tree is very similar to the black figure holding Aunt Huang's waist.
If it was really him, he actually intercepted me on the road, which means that he has set his eyes on me, and I don't know how strong that ghost's ability is, but fortunately the old man helped me, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable...... The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, so I hastily took two mouthfuls of food, put down the bowl, and hurriedly ran into my room to take out my father's book "Ghost Arts".
Just in case, I'll have to learn a trick or two.
When you open the book, the first trick is ghost killing. The text is very obscure, I took out the dictionary and studied it for half an hour to understand the following explanation, translated into the vernacular, it is approximately: first bite your finger, write the word "勅" in the air with blood, and then read: Left Fu Liujia Right Guard Liuding before there is a yellow god and then there is a Yuezhang god to kill and not avoid Haoqiang first kill the evil ghost and then cut the night light is as urgent as the law, and then "勅" will fly to the ghost, once it touches the ghost, the ghost will go straight to the smoke and then the soul will fly away.
This is a bit of a fantasy, let's not talk about whether this trick can really be used to kill ghosts, just the word "勅" written in the air with blood, how can it be written? I always think it's unrealistic, but I've seen a lot of this kind of trick in movies.
But you have to try everything.
I stretched out my hand and looked at my fingers hesitatingly, ten fingers connected to my heart, how could I get my mouth?
Suddenly, a dog barked from the window, and then the other dogs in the village seemed to be summoned, and they all barked, loud and hurried, and looked manic and restless. This reminds me of the night when Zhong Ling'er and Wu Lele and I went to the cave at the Fengmen Gate to look for Da Hei's soul and came back, because Uncle Qin dug up the yellow skin that hanged at the same time as Da Hei from the grave, and the yellow skin found Uncle Qin's trouble, and the dogs in the village barked in unison like a carnival that night.
Is there going to be another thing tonight? Could it be related to the yellow skin again?
I heard that dogs' eyes are "brighter" than human eyes and can see things that people can't see, could it be that they saw the little ghost under the locust tree?
When I thought of such a little ghost, I was afraid that he would appear outside the window or in my room, and I was so anxious that courage came, and I stretched out my index finger and bit it.
Hurt!
But the pain is painful, while the blood flowed out, I quickly wrote the word "勅" in the air, and then read: Left Fu Liujia Right Guard Liuding has the Yellow God in front of the Yellow God and the back has the Yue Zhang Divine Master to kill and not avoid Haoqiang, first kill the evil ghost and then cut the night light, urgent as the law!
After reading it, I looked around, where is the word "勅"? But my hands hurt terribly.
What a fool! I scolded myself fiercely, how can anyone bite his own hand? People think I'm crazy!
A lot of people look nervous, and that's probably what I'm in right now.
I wrapped my hands and was about to go to bed, when suddenly, a "bang" sound came from the left, my heart sank, and I turned my head to look, the sound came from my bookcase!
My bookcase, an old-fashioned one, more than a meter long, half-wide, high-width and wide, was made entirely of solid wood, and I distinctly remember that there were only a few books in it, and it was locked, so there was nothing to get into. And the sound now sounds, it looks like there's a rat going on a rampage inside!
Could it be that the rat bit through the box and got in?
And on this slightly terrifying night, the sound still seems abrupt and eerie.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound rang out for a while, and I was a little overwhelmed for a while, and suddenly I heard my mother asking outside, "Knife, what's the sound?" I was afraid of scaring my mother, so I hurriedly said, "No...... Nothing, a mouse fell into my box. As I spoke, I went over and looked at the box, and found that there was no hole, and that it was still ringing, and my mother called out again, "Knife, open the door and I'll see." ”
Fearing that my mother would see the book I had hidden from my father and the Yin Yang Knife, I lifted the box, and strangely enough, as soon as I lifted it, the sound inside stopped abruptly.
