Since ancient times, doors have been regarded as a barrier to isolate evil spirits and misfortune.

In ancient times, after coming out of a cave and coming to the plains, humans learned how to build houses, and in order to separate themselves from dangerous animals and protect themselves, they invented doors.

But I don't know when the door began to become a human being, separating one human from another, separating one's own fear of the darkness of the night, and separating right and wrong from black and white.

After tens of thousands of years of civilization and development, it can be said that human beings have long developed a kind of awe for the door itself.

Placing the bed in a position where you sleep with your feet facing the door is an absolute no-no in Feng Shui.

I don't know if you've ever tried to sleep like that, the night before I went to Black Mountain, I tried, I couldn't sleep well all night, I always felt that the soles of my feet were cold, no matter how thick the duvet was, and even put on several layers of socks, but I still felt that the soles of my feet were cold.

It's not ordinary cold, it's cold that enters the bones and freezes the soul, I really don't understand, why do Li Shuren and Zhang Xiuwen sleep like this, is there any special significance?

By the time I arrived in Montenegro, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

It was true that this town was not far from the town where I lived, but I never expected it to be both closed and isolated.

When the bus reached a place more than twenty kilometers from this town, it was diverted, and I had to get off alone, which was considered lucky, and stopped an ox cart on the way, otherwise, if I had to go so far on the mountain road, I was afraid that the road would only be halfway and it would be dark.

"Uncle, thank you."

I jumped out of the car, flipped my backpack, and followed the uncle's instructions and walked up the river.

The river has very little water, but it is clear! The scenery on the riverbank is very beautiful, which is less and less in the messy world polluted by civilization.

I was humming a little tune as I walked, and suddenly I noticed that not far away, there was a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old standing alone in a white dress, the girl was crying to the river, she was staring at the river blankly, her face was full of pain, and suddenly she took a step forward, as if she wanted to jump.

I was so frightened that I cried out incoherently, "Hey! Hey, hey, hey! You! It's you! ”

The girl turned her head and pointed at herself in surprise, tears still staining her long eyelashes.

I ran over in three steps and two steps, gasping for breath and asked, "Broken up?" ”

The girl's face was still full of surprise, and her big black and white eyes looked at me without blinking.

It turned out to be a rare beauty!

I scratched my head a little at a loss, and said, "The water here seems to be a little too shallow, if you jump down, not only will you not drown, but you will hit your head, and if you want to kill yourself, I know there is a good place, not far from here." ”

The girl still looked at me vigorously, and under her beautiful eyes, even I, who had always been known as a thick-skinned person who could pull a car, began to be embarrassed, so I had to maintain a crescent moon smile unique to the service industry on my face, and said, "Why don't I take you there?" ”

"Nerves." The girl's face finally had an expression, she glared at me fiercely, and scolded: "Look at me, where does it look like I'm going to commit suicide? Self-righteous guys! ”

"I ......"

Just as she wanted to defend herself, the girl scolded again: "What? Not convinced? It's wrong for you, I told you in person that I was going to kill myself? ”

"Nope!" Frightened by her, I reflexively shook my head.

"That's it! Then why do you think I'm going to kill myself so arbitrarily? Is it true that a man standing by a river is committing suicide? Can't she do anything else? ”

"But you're crying......"

I couldn't figure out the situation, and I was completely led away by her nose.

"What's wrong with crying? Can't I be blown into my eyes by the wind and sand? And you don't know if I like to cry, I love to cry, I cry when I'm happy, I cry when I'm unhappy, I'll cry to you now. ”

The girl was scolding, and suddenly she snorted, and a smile bloomed on her face that was full of sadness. As if she was afraid that I would see me smiling, she hurriedly turned her back and took a deep breath.

"Done scolding?" I was scolded and dizzy, and I was embarrassed, so I asked cautiously.

"Far from it!"

Looking at me, who was frightened by this sentence and wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into, the girl covered her mouth and laughed happily: "Forget it, this girl is thinking about your young age, and the adults don't remember that the villain spared you." I'm leaving, you give me a good punishment here, think about what I'm doing wrong! ”

Is there a mistake, I don't say anything at night and it's rare to be kind and do a good deed, even if I don't appreciate it, I was bitten back by this little girl, oh my God, now it's really a hot and cold world, and people's hearts are not ancient!

Hmph, this little girl, she looks like a human, she is so cute, it's a pity that she has such a good figure and face, it's really annoying to me!

The girl ignored me, who was still doing self-reflection, and picked up the basket from the ground and ran down the river.

"That's right," she suddenly turned around and smiled softly after running a short distance, "Thank you." Then he turned around and walked away with a brisk step.

I stood there like an electric shock, unable to move for a long time. What a beautiful smile! The toothless smile seemed to convey a thousand meanings, and she took a deep breath, the wind was sweet, was it the fragrance left by her long and smooth hair? Perhaps, that girl is not as despicable as she imagined. I smiled wryly, slung my backpack over my shoulder, and continued walking up the river.

It didn't go far before the situation reappeared.

On the surface of the clear river, many small people made of straw began to float down, and those villains rose and fell along the river, which was indescribably weird.

I quickened my pace, and suddenly I heard a commotion not far upstream. When I got closer, it was a group of people salvaging something in the river.

The people were stepping in the water, using long bamboo poles to spy everywhere along the bank, and there was a very old woman on the river bank walking slowly, while constantly throwing the little scarecrows in the bag into the water, and once the scarecrow floated in the river, some people rushed over and carefully tread water around the scarecrow.

"Mother-in-law, what are you doing?" My curiosity piqued.

The scarecrow's grandmother glared at me and didn't speak.

However, the boy next to her, who was about the same age as me, spoke: "Please don't be surprised, my grandmother can't speak when she summons spirits. ”

"The Conjuring?"

I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't react for a while.

I only heard the boy continue: "The eldest lady of the Zhang family in the town in the north disappeared three days ago, and her body has never been found. Some people suspected that she committed suicide by jumping into the river, so her family asked my grandmother to summon her spirit and make her body float. ”

"You can find the body with these scarecrows?"

I gave him a suspicious look.

The boy nodded earnestly, "If she wants us to find her, the scarecrow will stop at her corpse." ”

When I heard this, I almost laughed.

The goddess in the countryside is often like this, always using some obscure words to explain how powerful she is, saying that if she wants to be found, she can be found.

With such ambiguous words, of course, it is your own credit for finding it, and if you can't find it, you can blame it on the deceased, but in this world, there are often many ignorant people who will believe it!

The boy saw the disdainful look on my face, and said nothing more.

The goddess threw a handful of scarecrows into the river with concentration, and several scarecrows floated into the middle of the river, and suddenly did not move, as if they had been nailed, and did not care about how the river flowed, nor the principles of mechanics recorded in any physics books.

"Right there, right down there!" The goddess cried out, her voice dry and high-pitched, and my ears were ringing.

Immediately, a few people walked up to the scarecrow and poked around with bamboo poles, and suddenly someone shouted, "Yes", and saw a white mass slowly floating.

Sure enough, it's a corpse!

It was a female corpse dressed in white, and the group carried the female corpse to the shore with all hands and feet.

I leaned over in amazement and began to examine the corpse carefully.

The female corpse, soaked in the water for more than three days, her whole body was swollen, and her original face was no longer recognizable, but the white clothes on her body, I seem to have seen it somewhere!

I tried to think about the information about this dress in my mind, and with a casual glance of my eyes, I suddenly saw the white jade bracelet on the right hand of the female corpse, and suddenly my whole body stiffened like a lightning strike.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why did your face turn so pale and still tremble? The boy saw that my whole body was trembling, staring at the female corpse in fear, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

But my ears had long since lost any sound, and rudely pushed away the person in front of me, and I walked over in three steps and two steps, and raised the wrist of the female corpse to my eyes to look closely. That's right, it's indeed this bracelet!

The girl I met just now also wore an identical one on her wrist, because the carving was very strange, so I took a look at it more, and the memory was more profound, so that the girl was wearing a white shirt just now, and the style was exactly the same as this female corpse!

Oh, my God! I guess I've encountered a ghost, right?!

Although I haven't encountered unbelievable things before, I have never been so unlucky, I just went out and met a ghost, and it was not good to be a teacher!

"What the hell is wrong with you? Do you want me to take you to the doctor? The boy nudged me.

I was startled, only to find that I was still holding the hand of the female corpse and didn't let go, and suddenly I felt the wind around me, and my whole body was cold, and I threw my hand away with a "wow" and jumped back a few steps.

"I don't know if you believe it, I saw her just now!" Desperately patting my chest, I pointed to the way I came and said, "It's down the river, a long way to go." ”

"What?!" The boy's face turned pale with shock, and he grabbed my chest and asked loudly, "Have you seen her?" When? What did you say to her? ”

"About half an hour ago." "She looked like she wanted to kill herself, so I tried to stop her." ”

The boy froze, and he suddenly pushed me hard, "Go!" Hurry up and get out of town and go as far as you can! That's a floating ghoul! She'll definitely come back to you, and she wants you to be her substitute! ”

"For the dead?"

The salvage crowd gradually dispersed, some carried the body and went away with the goddess, and some returned to their homes, and the river bank was suddenly deserted.

I stood alone, reflecting on the boy's last words.

She wants me to be her substitute? So why didn't she do it just now? Is it because ghosts don't have much power during the day? My confused mind began to think crankily, and I shook my head, only to realize that I was the only one left by the river.

The winter night came early, and the sky began to darken.

"Hey, who's waiting for me, is there anyone?" Suddenly I felt a chill all over my body, and I couldn't help but shiver again, and I ran quickly towards the town.

I don't know if I should follow the boy's advice and get out of here. But I know that even if what he said is true, I will never leave, and since I have already come, running away without doing anything is definitely not my style of doing things.

At least I'm going to take away what Li Shu left here, and as for the rest, I'll wait until it happens! It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, I don't say anything at night and look at it horizontally and vertically, it's also a long-lived appearance, how can I be so unlucky?

It's Li Shuren, what did that guy keep at No. 15 Sixth Street in Black Mountain Town? Will it have something to do with his ageless physical fitness? Putting away the slight fear, curiosity burned again.
