"I was a little panicked when I saw the paper stuff in that room, and I always felt that there was something terrible in this, but I had finished talking to my friends, and now if I said that I was afraid to sleep here, I couldn't have this face. My friend got me the bunk, and I had to settle down in the house. When my friend was leaving, he said to me, "Don't go out if you hear movement at night." ”

I nodded vaguely, and my friend said the conversation and left, when it was already dark, I closed the small door, and lay on the bed by myself, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, always feeling that the room was panicking. I tried my best not to think about it, and in the end, I don't know when, I fell asleep.

When I fell asleep, I heard someone singing outside, and some people kept applauding, the singers sang very well, the words were round, and the voice was melodious. As soon as I heard that there was a singer, I had long forgotten all about my fears and the advice of my friends. I got out of bed with a grunt and looked out the window, and there was an old stage with torches and candles lit, and there were people singing on the stage, and everyone in the audience was applauding.

At this time, I complained in my heart about my friend, my friend is really, he knows that I like to watch dramas, but he has a play in the village, and he doesn't want to tell me. I got up and got dressed while thinking about it, and when I got dressed, I opened the door and went out, and I squeezed into the crowd to see that I was a foreigner, and those who watched the play saw that I was a foreigner, and they all gave way, so that I had a good position. The people on the stage sang really well, which made people feel comfortable after listening to it.

After singing the little bald man's hole in the cave room, he then sang a Wang Po scolding the chicken, the person who played the Wang Po, his singing skills were also good, and the liuqin next to him was also good, but I don't know what's going on, such a good play, not many people listened, and everyone slowly dispersed. After the performance of Wang Po scolding the chicken, there were only a few people left, and at this time, an old man wearing a horse coat and a melon skin hat said: "Everyone, everyone, there are too few people today, and we will not perform the final finale of the Red Luo Tent, please forgive me." ”

This red tent is a good show, the Tsing Yi in the play must be good-looking, and the singing skills must be good, but the most worthwhile scene, I am addicted to listening to it, I don't sing anymore, I don't listen to it, it's itchy all over my body, so I said: "Sing, I'm addicted to listening." ”

At this time, the old man looked at me and said, "Young man, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, we are a big opera team, but not one or two people, we are singing here, who will ask for money after singing?" ”

I patted my chest and said, "As long as you sing, I'll pay for it." ”

The little old man said, "Is this true? ”

I said, "The big husband has said everything, and the ghosts can't catch up." ”

When I said this, I had already calculated in my heart, I am not a local, and when you finish singing, I will just sneak away, the old man looked at me and shook his head and said: "Young man can't say that, don't deceive people and ghosts, ghost debts are the most difficult to hide." ”

The old man's eyes flashed when he said this, and I was startled at the time, and I quickly looked at the old man again, and the old man looked at me with a smile as just now, and I said to myself at the time, I saw it wrong, it must be wrong. At this time, the old man said loudly: "Girl, are you ready below?" ”

At this time, I heard a crisp voice from the stage saying, "Ready." ”

I thought it was really enjoyable to see this, and it was the first time I saw Tsing Yi hiding under the stage. Tsing Yi is the best-looking, I stared at the stage with wide eyes, only to see a puff of smoke rising from the stage, and then from under the stage, a person slowly emerged, this person wore a phoenix crown and a xia veil. As soon as I saw this Tsing Yi, I couldn't help but shout hello, the old man was right, it was really their final scene, I saw that this Tsing Yi was very good-looking, with big eyes, red lips, melon seed face, pointed chin, willow eyebrows, the phoenix crown on the head was shining, and the Xia curtain on the body was also shining in the light.

That Tsing Yi lightly opened his lips, I listened to the singing voice is even better, it is the first time I have heard such a beautiful singing voice, this scene down, it really makes me fascinated, and at the end of hearing it, I feel that I am about to ascend to the sky. After listening to it, I suddenly remembered one thing, that is, I promised to give the singer money, I didn't have much money on me, and I had to keep it for home, so I saw that no one was paying attention to me, so I sneaked out, hid the wall, and returned to my friend's paper shop.

After I went to the paper shop, I lit the oil lamp, lay on the bed, my heart was beautiful, if I listened to such a scene every day, it would be good, lying on the bed and thinking for a while, I fell asleep unconsciously, I slept fragrantly, and suddenly someone said: "It's him, it's him who promised to give us money, this kid is so unrighteous, he actually ran here to fall asleep, catch this kid." ”

When I opened my eyes, I found that I had been pressed by someone, and when I looked carefully at the person holding me, my mother, which of these are people, but a few hideous ghosts, I saw that the carrion on the faces of these ghosts was almost rotten, two eyeballs, like two balls in the eye sockets, flashing blood-red, teeth were faintly exposed, and the hands that held me down were already white bones.

At this time, the old man who spoke came over, and the old man at this time also changed, the skin and flesh on his whole face were dry and sticky to his face, just like a skull, wearing a shroud, he walked up to me with a blank expression, and said to me with a sneer: "I told you, don't deceive people, ghost debts are the most difficult to pay, you owe us money for singing, I came to ask you for money." ”

I said, "I, I don't have any money on me, and when I sing, I talk and play." ”

The old man sneered at this time, and after laughing, he said: "You have no money, but you have a life, and you will use your life to pay off the debt today." ”

As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his hands that were like dry bones, and I saw that the fingernails were slender, very scary, and the big hands suddenly grabbed my neck, tighter and tighter, tighter and tighter, until I couldn't breathe, and I opened my mouth wide. I shook hard, hoping to take a breath, and if I continued like this, sooner or later I would die, I had to live, I had to fight hard, so I used all my strength, and with a wave of my hand, I heard a snap, and then my body was able to move, and then I looked around, and there was nothing around, and I was the only one in the room.

Just now I waved my hand vigorously, knocked down a bowl, I was not happy, a bigger thing happened, because the lamp twist flew out, at this time a cash tree on the ground was set on fire, the cash tree is made of branches wrapped in paper, stained with sparks, at that time, all of a sudden, the whole cash tree was on fire, and then led to the gold and silver mountains next to it, the whole house suddenly burst into flames, I was frightened, fortunately I did not take off my clothes at that time, I got up in bed, no shoes were worn, and ran out, I ran outsideI shouted loudly to put out the fire, and my voice was hoarse, and the neighbors around me got up, and they rushed over with buckets.

I was shocked, knelt down in front of everyone, and said, "Please, old and young masters, hurry up and put out the fire, hurry up and put out the fire." ”

At this time, an old man stood up and said, "Young man, you must be having a nightmare, look back, there is a fire behind you." ”

I turned around and looked back, I couldn't believe my eyes, and when I looked back, I found that there was nothing behind me, there was no fire in the house, I was stunned, this was impossible, when I ran out, the house was already on fire, and now there was no spark in the house, so I said, "Am I just dreaming?" Folks, I want to ask where are the people on the stage? I watched their play today and promised to give money, but I was unkind and ran away by myself, and now I am ashamed to think about it, I am willing to kowtow to the owner of the drama troupe to apologize. ”
