The summer vacation of the junior high school students of Baishi Township Middle School, where Tang Ning is located, was in August, and the weather was very hot. There was no fan in the dormitory, only the smell of feet all over the house, which made them cry bitterly. You can't find the culprit for smelly feet, because 80% of boys have smelly feet. In addition, Tang Ning's own feet also stink, so he had to call himself a confidant with the same smell. There was no boiling water in the dormitory. They can buy their own water bottles and turn on the water in the gangtang, but most of them don't have this habit. When you are thirsty, go to the toilet to wash the mop, put your mouth at the faucet, or drink directly with the water in your hand. At that time, I drank raw tap water and my stomach was fine, probably because the water was not polluted and relatively clean.

After dinner, more than three or five people went to play outside the school. There are only a few streets in Baishi Township, and it will be finished after a few walks. Residents on the street generally have their own shops, selling clothes and shoes, hardware, dry groceries, hand-made dumplings, spicy money paper, and kerosene for their evening self-study. Some shops that sell incense wax paper money have their own small workshops that can produce their own goods. They have equipment to melt red wax and can make various types of red wax – such as the red candle in the ancient poem "The red candle in the cave room stopped last night, and I will worship my aunt in front of Xiaotang". They also had the kind of meniscus-shaped iron blades that could make wavy knife marks on yellow paper, which were said to be the hallmarks of different denominations.

I have to make a lot of noise at night before I go to bed. There is no fan, and the smell of sweat and feet is even stronger. Downing had to thank him for having rhinitis, his sense of smell was weak, and he couldn't smell these strange smells. At ten o'clock, the teacher came to check the shop. The lyrics of Ma Yutao's "Old Landlord Checks Shop" are proof:

"The stars sparkle in the night sky, and the moon bends on the top of the mountain. The old landlord came to check the shop in the middle of the night, holding a lamp in his hand and a lamp in his hand............"

"Students, don't make any noise. Go to bed early and wake up early, and you will be more energetic......" Mr. Chapu shouted.

The students fell silent. A few minutes later, the teacher left, and some of the students blew the gantry again.

As the weather gets hotter, the mischievous pony, Lu, and Tiger get up from their beds and pace back and forth in the bedroom. "Grandma's, it's so hot, how do you sleep?" Pony said.

"It's said to be cool on the hillside, so why don't we go up there and sleep all night?" Xiao Lu said.

"Yes, let's roll up the mat and find a flat place on the hillside, and we can sleep." Xiaohu said.

"There are so many graves on the hillside, there must be ghosts at night, so let's not go." Pony said.

"Coward! I have a tiger in my name, and I'm afraid of a hammer! Xiaohu said.

"Find another person to sleep on the slope together, there is a lot of strength in people, and you are not afraid of ghosts." Xiao Lu said.

Tang Ning slept next to them, and Xiaohu dragged him up from the bed: "Get up, let's go out and cool off." ”

Xiaoma, Xiaolu, and Xiaohu hugged the mat and dragged the sleepy-eyed Tang Ning out of the bedroom. Downing walked behind them, ready to flee back to the dormitory. Xiaohu said: "Hurry up!" Walking behind like a, looking timid. Aren't you usually shouting that you're not afraid of ghosts? Let's go out to hunt ghosts! ”

"Who is afraid of ghosts! I'm not scared when I go back, but I'm going to cut you off! I'm going to put you guys in the line! Downing said loudly.

"Good! Balls! If you have the guts, go ahead! Pony said. So Tang Ning shook his spirits, walked in front, and led them forward.

They were stopped by the iron gates of the school. This was the iron door next to the canteen, it was not very high, and they easily climbed over it. Turning over the iron gate, a dirt road leads to the streets of Baishi Township, and a sheep intestine path leads to the hillside covered with graves. There is a flat ground paved with stone slabs on the slope, and it is cool to sleep on it on a hot day. It is said that before the liberation, their school was the execution ground for the shooting of prisoners, and many souls with incomplete bodies were buried under the classrooms and playgrounds of the school. Most of the graves on the hillside behind the school were buried after liberation, and they had names and surnames. Without flashlights, they groped their way forward by the starlight in the sky. A cool breeze blows, refreshing, and feels much more comfortable than the stuffy bedroom.

Tang Ning suddenly shouted: "The ghost is here!" When Xiaoma, Xiaolu, and Xiaohu heard this, they couldn't help but tremble with fright, and they wanted to run. Tang Ning laughed in front, they knew that they were teased by him, but it was not easy to have a seizure, because it turned out that they usually bragged too much, and they were still afraid of ghosts in their hearts.

Continue to the hillside in the cool breeze that swishs. After a while, they came to a flat place. Downing said, "Just sleep here." The terrain is flat and will not knock back. And it's not far from the school, so we can rush back tomorrow morning to do morning exercises. The three agreed.

They laid out their mats and went to sleep. I couldn't help but be scared, and I couldn't sleep. After about half an hour of sleep, Tang Ning still didn't feel sleepy, so he called the pony softly, but they didn't fall asleep.

"Let's brag! It's a big deal not to sleep tonight! Xiaohu said.

"What are you bragging? Ghost storytelling? Xiao Lu said.

"On occasions like these, don't tell ghost stories – because we're too close to ghosts. If you're in the dorm room, tell a ghost story as much as you want, I'm afraid of a ball! Xiaohu said.

"There is a Taoist master in our village who specializes in catching ghosts. It is said that he has already caught a hundred and ten ghosts and suppressed them in a mysterious place. During the busy farming season, this Taoist master can also drive these ghosts to work for his family. Pony said.

Not to be outdone, Tang Ning told them about the magical experiences encountered by Daoist Hong, Liu Banxian, and Uncle Cang, saying that the ghosts were afraid of them, and if they were here, the ghosts would never dare to show up tonight.

The cows, which had been blowing for a long time, heard a rustling sound coming from a grave just as they were sleeping. "Be quiet, don't talk. Don't let the devil know we're here. Xiaohu said. They held their breath and felt their hearts beat out.

Tang Ning was thinking, should they collectively shout to scare the ghosts away? Or do you quietly hide from the wild ghosts? What if they shouted and alarmed the wild ghosts, and the wild ghosts were angry and ate them? What if they were silent, and the wild ghosts thought they were bullies, and just served them as a side meal? Downing knew that ghosts were afraid of some spells, afraid of some dirty things. He silently chanted in his heart: "Nan no Amitabha, Nan no Amitabha Buddha ............", and read: "Om Ma Na Horn Mi Ng, Om Ma Horn Mi ......". Sure enough, I felt that the surroundings were much quieter, and the rustling sound was gone.

"Let's go back to the dorm. It's horrible here. Pony said.

"Don't be afraid! I don't think there are ghosts in the world! If we spend the night peacefully on the slope tonight, then we will be the first expert in the history of Baishi Township Middle School to prove that there are no ghosts in the world! Xiaohu said.

"Makes sense! We just don't want to go back to the dorm! Xiao Lu said.

"There may be ghosts in the world. He heard that Master Hong Dao had opened the Eye of Heaven and could see ghosts, and he said that ghosts lived in another space that we could not see—the underworld, or the fourth Planck supernatural space. The yang and the underworld are like balloons bound in the middle, and if you pinch one side with your hand, the other side will swell. For example, on a night like this, the space in the yang world of the three-dimensional world we are in will naturally shrink, and the fourth dimensional netherworld where the ghosts are located will expand, so the ghosts may come out. We have to be careful. Downing said.

"Fart! Your baby doesn't believe in science but in these fallacies. Which book says there are ghosts in the world? What is a ghost? Lao Tzu has never seen a ghost. Xiaohu said.

As soon as Xiaohu finished speaking, the rustling sound sounded again. A cold wind blew, and they clearly felt a cloud of heat hit them again. "Grandma's, it's so hot inside, it's so cool outside." Someone's voice came from afar. Tang Ning was sure that this sentence was not said by him, nor was it said by Xiaoma, Xiaolu, or Xiaohu.

"It's really hot inside? What's inside? Is it inside the grave? The inside of the tomb is not ventilated, so it is stuffy? Could it be that a ghost has come out of the grave? They thought the same thing in their hearts, and their hearts went to their throats.

After a long time, no other sound was heard. They went back to what they had just heard. First of all, they were sure it was true, because they had heard it. Then discuss what people say? Or is it the words of the ghost?

"Except for us being so bold, there can't be anyone else in the dormitory who also comes to cool off in the grave on the hillside, right? I think that was said by a ghost. It must have been a ghost coming out of the grave. Let us not speak, let us not alarm the wild ghosts. Pony said.

"Uncle Cang used to tell me that if you hear a ghost calling someone's name at night, don't agree, otherwise you will be captured by the ghost." Downing said seriously.

Soon, sure enough, I heard the wild ghost calling someone, but they didn't say anything, and they didn't answer. After a while, Tang Ning heard Xiaohu calling his name, and he agreed. As everyone knows, it was a wild ghost attached to Xiaohu's body, and he was called by Xiaohu's voice. He didn't notice it, so he reflexively agreed. Why did this demon know his name? Maybe it was the teacher's roll call in class, and his name was heard by the wild ghosts.

Tang Ning felt bad, and actually agreed to the ghost's call, and his mind went blank in an instant. After the blank space, he remembered the exorcism method given to him by Uncle Cang, that is, to use dirty things - feces and urine. At that time, the body was very obedient, maybe it was frightened, and the feces and urine flowed out. A stench smoked him, but he was happy in his heart, and the ghost was afraid of these things, and the ghost would leave him.

There was no terrifying demon in front of him, and he thought that it was the and urine in the crotch of his pants that drove the ghost away. He didn't care about Xiaoma, Xiaolu, and Xiaohu, he wanted to go back to the bedroom by himself. He walked a few steps, feeling scared, but still trying to call the three of them. Downing urged them, but they didn't answer. He went back to the place where he had laid the mat and saw nothing. It's strange that they ran away so quickly? It's really unrighteous, and I won't call him when I leave.
