Everyone thinks midnight is terrible because it can't see its fingers, and it seems to hide something in the silence. But few people know that the dawn before dawn is the darkest time of the day.

At that moment, all the light is gone, and only the eyes that lurk in the dark are left staring at you. Folklore has it that the dawn is also the time for ghosts to return home, and at this time, in order to prevent the living from seeing them, the gods cover the eyes of mortals with darkness.

At this time, the sky of Yunjiaji was approaching dawn.

The wife of the husband followed the route of her husband's watch, and walked through the alley to a wider street. She was dressed in black, her expression was blank, and her face seemed to be pasted with a pale piece of paper, which looked particularly strange under the light of the red lantern.

As she walked, she called the names of her husband and son, but with each shout, her voice stretched extraordinarily long. On a cold winter night, it sounds a little frightening. The adults, who were awakened by the shouting, wrapped their children in quilts, covered their ears with their hands, and looked out the window with their eyes through the darkness. It's like I'm scared of something.

The cold wind blew over Ah Niu's head, and he shrank back, squatting on the side of the road, carefully protecting the little red of the incense head with both hands.

According to Xing Ruyi's instructions, he and his aunt found the two oldest old people in the Yun family and asked them to help make winter clothes. But in a hurry, he still only made two pieces, so the rest of the intersection could only be guarded by himself.

The cold wind drilled into Ah Niu's neck, making him can't help but sneeze. The spittle stars fell on the incense head, and the red light seemed to be dimmed. Ah Niu lowered his head anxiously, and quickly blew two breaths on the incense, and when he saw that the red light was back to its original state, he breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the ground softly.

A chill, through his hips, climbed up his spine, and Ah Niu couldn't help but rub his hands. At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the dead grass beside him swayed with the wind, and the swishing sound became one, and Ah Niu's face immediately turned white. Because he felt as if something had been pressed to his back while the wind was rising.

"Click!"

A thunderclap exploded from mid-air, and Ah Niu subconsciously covered his ears and looked up at the same time.

In the dark night, a pair of scarlet eyes stared at him.

Ah Niu opened his mouth and screamed, his body was crooked, and he fell forward obliquely. Then he heard a slight noise, then a strong smell of alcohol in his nose, and finally a drunken voice with a strange laugh.

"Folded! Folded! The incense of your roasting fire is broken! ”

Ah Niu immediately reacted, and what stood in front of him was not a ghost in the wilderness, but a drunken person. He then rolled over and looked at the ground by the glimmer of light before dawn.

On the ground, there were a few pieces of incense scattered on the ground, the incense was still burning, and the small red light was like a scarlet eye with mockery.

"Bastard!" Ah Niu was angry and threw himself at the drunk: "Make you scary!" I'm going to make you scary! ”

"Ghosts! The ghost is coming! Although the drunk man in front of him looked a little abnormal, his body was extremely flexible in the face of Ah Niu's pursuit. He dodged and grinned: "The incense is broken, the ghost is coming, you are going to be unlucky!" ”

"You're out of luck! You bastard is going to be unlucky" Ah Niu saw that he had crushed the incense, knowing that something had gone wrong, and he was afraid and anxious in his heart. Hearing the drunk man say this, he was even more angry. He saw the direction of the drunkard's movement, pounced hard, pressed him to the ground, and hit his head and face.

With the sound of roosters crowing in the distance, the sky gradually brightened. Tired Ah Niu turned over and lay on the ground, thinking in his heart how to explain to Xing Ruyi and how to explain to his aunt. The incense he was guarding was broken, and he didn't know if it would affect his aunt's soul, and whether the souls of his uncle and nephew could be called back.

The more I thought about it, the more chaotic I became, and I stayed up hard for most of the night, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, I was ruined by this drunken man's trouble. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little ruthless in my heart, so I simply turned over and pounced on the drunk again, ready to fight again.

As soon as his hand was raised, Ah Niu was stunned, because he knew the drunk man in front of him, it was Hu Da, the eldest man of the Hu family.

After his mother died, he moved out of the mountains. On the first day of returning to Yunjiaji, he met the Hu family at a funeral. Speaking of which, it is not uncommon for the Hu family to hold funerals, and I don't know how many of Hu's wives and concubines have died. There is a ballad in the Yunjia collection, saying that the Hu family is strange in feng shui, the boss loves to marry a wife, marry one in March, and hold a funeral in April. But on the day he went home, the funeral he met was for the second master of the Hu family.

I heard that these two masters died suddenly, so the way of holding the funeral is also different from others. It's just that this coffin is twice the size of the ordinary, after all, the Hu family is rich, and the second master died, and the coffin is larger. But this coffin was still covered with a white cloth, and some messy lines were drawn on the white cloth. Listening to the old man watching the excitement next to him, it was a coffin pressure charm, although it was covered with a coffin, but it was actually pressing something inside. This Hu family has always been very evil, maybe the two masters did not die of illness, but were killed by some evil thing.

Thinking of Ding Ding, Ah Niu's heart was also a fierce chill. Just as he was about to turn to leave, he suddenly saw another person among those who were carrying the coffin. The reason why I feel that person is extra is because he doesn't hold anything in his hand, and second, he is too old to ask the Hu family to do things at all.

When Ah Niu thought of this, he couldn't help but glance at that person twice. It was an old man who had reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, wearing black cotton clothes, and also raising a pair of cold eyes, staring straight at him.

"Who's that guy?" Ah Niu was a little uncomfortable by those eyes, and gently pulled the old man who was watching the excitement with his hand, "I look at that person's eyes, and he doesn't look like a member of the Hu family, how can he stand in the middle of other people's servants who send spirits, how strange." ”

"Strange people? Where is it, why haven't I seen it? ”

"The old man, dressed in a black cotton jacket, standing to the left of the coffin."

Ah Niu just wanted to point his finger to the person next to him, but found that the old man who was looking at him was gone.

"Hell yes! Hell yes! Ah Niu's scalp exploded all of a sudden, and he hurriedly turned around and ran towards the Ruyi rouge shop. When he arrived at the shop, Li Mao only glanced at him, and handed him a lot of dried willow leaves, asking him to soak in water to get rid of bad luck.

Afterwards, he also vaguely mentioned this matter to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper only glanced at him and told him that the old man might be the usher of the underworld. It is said that mortals can't see people, but Ah Niu has just lost his mother and came out of the mountains, so he will inevitably have some yin energy on his body, so he can see the old man.

Although, it is a little rude for him to stare at people so stunned, if he meets that kind of stingy person, he will have to tease him. However, since he already knew that he was wrong, he just said a few words of apology to others in his heart, and he didn't have to take it to heart.

Although the shopkeeper said that it was simple, Ah Niu's heart still hung for a few days, and when he saw that nothing happened, he gradually forgot about it. Now, in this wilderness, he met Hu Da who went crazy, and Ah Niu's heart was indescribably weird. He thought about it, but dragged Hu Da hard back to his aunt's house. Ah Niu knew that at this hour, the shopkeeper must still be there. Whether it's a matter of folding incense or a big deal, only the shopkeeper knows what to do.

Xing Ruyi has been staying at her husband's house, and after Ah Niu and her husband's wife left one after another, she used ghost magic to carefully investigate her husband's house. When he found the soul of his husband's son, he stayed at home and did not leave, so he used the method of attracting souls to forcibly stuff his soul back into his body. As for the husband himself, the situation is a little strange, his soul does not seem to have been lost, but as if it has been eaten by something, and the food is not very clean, but rather a picky eater.

Xing Ruyi frowned, but heard footsteps outside the door. The footsteps were dense, not very human. When she walked to the window to take a look, she found that there seemed to be something lying in the yard, and after seeing it clearly, she couldn't help but feel numb all over her body, and a chill fell directly from the top of her head.

Xing Ruyi thinks that after she has this ghost art, she is not afraid of heaven and earth, but there are still two things in this world that she is most afraid of. One is a soft-lying mollusk, such as a snake, and the other is a soft-lying mollusk, such as a centipede.

Now, there is a huge centipede lying in the yard of the groom. It was dark all over, and its countless feet clung to the ground like black vines that dried up in winter. Xing Ruyi smoothed her breath, took a deep breath, and carefully observed the centipede's movements, but she didn't see where the centipede's head was.

Just as he was thinking, the centipede in the yard began to move. It squirmed its black body and crawled quickly towards the door. The dense footsteps made Xing Ruyi's goosebumps rise all over his body. She stared nervously at the black moving thing, and for a moment she thought about dozens of ways to destroy it, but because of the fear of this animal in her heart, her feet couldn't move a bit.

Just as Xing Ruyi was suffocating his breath and waiting for the centipede to break through the door, the centipede stopped in front of the door. As if knowing that Xing Ruyi was standing at the window and watching it, the centipede turned sideways and slowly raised its head to the window.
