At more than four o'clock in the evening, a thin layer of white fog suddenly rose in the stockade, which is rare in the hot summer, this fog came quickly, and the visibility in the stockade was less than 100 meters for an hour before and after.

I closed the courtyard door and went to bed early, but I didn't take off my clothes and waited quietly.

The fog for no apparent reason is not a good sign, and the recent events have left me feeling up and down.

I've been holding back a thought in my heart, could it really be that I didn't have a secret marriage with my brother, and at the end of the three-year period, the living Gu came back to take revenge?

Does that mean that my brother is in Jiaolongpo?

Seriously, I want to see my brother more than my mother, after all, my brother has been with me for more than ten years, and he has taken care of me meticulously, and has protected me since I was a child, and my mother, she has only appeared in my grandmother's memories, and I have no intersection with her, so the feelings are naturally not so deep.

But I don't want to really see my brother at this time, after all, I can really come back, and my brother is no longer the brother I once knew, and I don't want to affect the villagers.

Thinking paradoxically, his ears were erected, his eyes were fixed on the position of the window, and he didn't know if Yanagawa Minami would be able to come back tonight.

I waited until about ten o'clock in the evening, when the window slammed and I suddenly became excited, thinking that Liu Chuannan had returned, and sat straight on the edge of the bed, waiting for him to come in.

But after waiting for a while, there was no movement, and I thought I had misheard, and as soon as I relaxed, the window rang again.

This time I heard it very clearly, and it seemed that I saw a black shadow flashing by, and my heart chuckled, and my palms were immediately full of sweat.

Who's that?

Minami Yanagawa likes to wear white, so I'm sure it's not him.

I quickly moved to the window, and saw the black shadow limping into the white mist, it was the old lame!

The old cripple has finally appeared, and I want to find him every day these days, and he will not miss this opportunity.

At that time, I didn't even think about it, I turned over the window and chased after the old lame, the old lame man walked unhurriedly, I accelerated to follow, but I don't know how, no matter how hard I tried, the distance between me and the old lame man was always kept at about five meters.

The fog was very heavy, and it was dark, and after a while, I felt that my eyebrows were full of water droplets, and I couldn't distinguish the things around me at all, but I vaguely felt that it should be going in the direction of the back mountain.

There is also a tea forest in the direction of the back mountain, and at the end of the tea forest is the location of the ancestral tomb of Jiaolongpo, the ancestral tomb leans against the stretching mountain, the mountain is very steep, and there are weeds and trees.

Why did the old cripple bring me here?

A few times I hesitated to stop, tried to call him a few times, but there was no response, and I was afraid that I would stop and lose it, so I had to go forward.

At first, the ground under my feet was flat, and slowly, my feet began to get a little sticky and wet, and I was sure that we should have entered the tea forest, and then there was the ancestral grave, did the old lame man want to take me to the ancestral grave?

I felt a little hairy in my heart, but thinking about the bone ring on my ring finger, and feeling that I could take some risks, I gritted my teeth and continued to follow.

People are like this, with a little dependence, the courage will become infinitely fat, and many times it will suffer because of it.

The strange thing is that the further I walked, the fog seemed to gradually disperse, and I could see the surrounding shadowy tea trees, which had reached the edge of the tea plantation, and at this time, a white shadow flashed, covering my mouth, and whispered to my ear: "Don't follow, haven't you looked at the heel of the person in front of you?" ”

It's Minami Yanagawa who is back.

When he said this, I looked down at the old lame's heel, and was startled, he actually walked on tiptoe, very light, and looked like he was floating from a distance.

Although he still maintained a limping walking position, he was much faster than usual, and I said how could I not even catch up with a cripple.

"He, he's a ghost?" I took Yanagawa Minami's hand away and asked in a low voice.

Legend has it that ghosts walk on tiptoe, if you sprinkle grass and wood ash on the way they walk, you will find that their footprints are only the first half, like donkey hoof prints, they walk in the sun, when the right time comes, they will insert the forefoot into the soles of normal people's feet, normal people's soles of feet off the ground, for a long time without touching the ground, the soul will slowly shake, out of the body, the whole person becomes trance, the body fire is getting lower and lower, and finally completely replaced by the later soul.

Could it be that the old lame man is dead? How is this possible, during the day, the villagers also guessed that the old lame man had gone out of the village to take refuge.

Liu Chuannan shook his head: "The situation is still unknown, but the one who led you over in front is indeed a ghost, if I remember correctly, then there will be the ancestral tomb of your village, the yin is deep, it will not be good to lead you here in the middle of the night, let's go back first, I have something to tell you." ”

"No, Liu Chuannan, I have a lot of things I want to ask the old cripple, he is not a bad person, there must be something he wants to tell me to bring me over, I must go to the ancestral tomb to see." In fact, in my heart, I still can't accept the fact that the old cripple is dead, what we see is always the back, maybe the ghost of the old cripple is not in front of me at all, someone deliberately pretended to be him to confuse me?

I don't want the old cripple to die like this, so at least I'll have to go and make sure.

If it were me, I would definitely hesitate, and even retreat in the end, but Liu Chuannan came, with him with me, I inexplicably felt that I was not afraid, so I hugged him and said coquettishly: "Liu ...... Liu Lang, will you come with me? ”

Visibly feeling his arms around me tightening, I continued to shake his shoulder: "You'll be with me, won't you?" ”

He still didn't move, so I let go of him, pretending to be angry and said: "It's all fake, what you say will never leave me, I think it's just a mouthful, you don't go, I'll go by myself." ”

As soon as I took two steps, I only felt a breeze behind me, and then my waist was hugged by him: "I have never been able to take you, let's go, but you have to be obedient, just take a look, don't act rashly." ”

It's not easy for him to accompany me, how dare I disobey, and immediately nodded like pounding garlic.

Liu Chuannan took me forward, there was no old cripple in front of me, and after walking fifty or sixty meters, I saw the ancestral tomb in the darkness from a distance.

The cemetery of Jiaolongpo is very large, spreading from east to west at the foot of the mountain, each surname occupies a territory, forming a small group one by one, only the cemetery of our Bai family is the smallest, and there is a lonely grave erected on it.

It was a mound of clothes, which was erected by the witch doctor after my grandmother's death, and at this moment, a black shadow stood in front of the mound of clothes, and I couldn't see what it was.

I raised my feet and walked that way, my heart reached my throat, my hand held Yanagawa Nan's tightly, and the temperature from the palm of my hand gave me the only courage.

When I walked only three or four meters away from the mound of clothes, I suddenly saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly, and I was so frightened that I trembled all over, and Yanagawa Nan stretched out his hand and pressed my head into his chest: "Don't look, don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
