036 Starving Dogs
I know that the first thing Grandpa wants to expose is Sister Mi's secret.
I looked in the direction where Xiaomi's mother left, and I couldn't see her anymore, so I asked my grandfather why he had to drive Xiaomi's mother away.
"Yin and yang are different, people and ghosts have different paths, and ghosts have places where ghosts should go, otherwise if you stay in the world for a long time, you will have anger and hurt people, in that case, it will be chaotic."
This time, my grandfather no longer asked him if there was anything dirty in the world, as before, and he was secretive and did not tell the truth, but told me the answer very directly.
My grandfather also told me that when a person dies, the soul leaves the body.
After the soul leaves the body, because of concerns, such as not being able to let go of one's relatives, and those who do not leave the world are ordinary lonely souls and wild ghosts, such as Xiaomi's mother.
If it is because there is a great grudge, because the great revenge has not been avenged, it is a ghost.
"Powerful ghosts are generally difficult to form, but as long as they are formed, they are particularly powerful, any powerful ghost, as long as he wants to, he can kill a spirit that has three hundred years of cultivation."
When Grandpa said this, he patted me on the shoulder again and asked me to guess what was the most powerful.
I said that when I was a child, Xu Da was stunned and scared me and told me this.
Xu Da was stunned at that time to tell ghost stories to scare me, he said that people are afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are also afraid of people.
At that time, Xu Da was stunned and talked to me while chopping vegetables, waved a kitchen knife at me, and said that like your Uncle Xu, who was stunned and carried a kitchen knife on the road, ordinary ghosts would definitely hide away when they saw me.
I said at the time, aren't you better than a Taoist priest who catches ghosts?
Xu Da was stunned and said mysteriously, Uncle is not as good as a Taoist priest, if he encounters a water ghost or a hanged ghost, he can pinch Uncle to death at once.
When the hanged ghost died, he couldn't reach the world or the ground, and the water ghost was soaked in deep water every day, which was more difficult than the ants on the hot pot, and the resentment of both was extremely great.
Xu Da was stunned when he said this, and he also scared me that a person had been hanged on the beam of the elementary school.
Xu Da was stunned by these words, so that when I was in class those days, I stared at the beams of the classroom every day, lest the hanged ghost would suddenly appear.
And during that time, I didn't dare to go down to the river to bathe, for fear of being dragged by the water ghost to be a substitute for the dead.
Later, until I was in junior high school, the hanged ghost did not appear, and none of the friends who often went down to the river to bathe were dragged away by the water ghost, so I didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world.
As a result, after meeting Xiaomi's mother tonight, I knew that ghosts were real.
So I said to my grandfather, I have heard Xu Da stunned for many years, among the powerful ghosts, the most powerful are the hanging ghosts and water ghosts.
Grandpa smiled and said that he was stunned by this kid and told him everything I taught him as a ghost story.
I said no wonder Xu Da was stunned that this idiot knew so much, it turned out that your old man told him.
Grandpa said that just like he scared you, when he was a child, I also scared him, but in addition to water ghosts and hanged ghosts, there is another kind of ghost that is also very powerful, that is, starving ghosts, I didn't tell him this.
My grandfather explained to me again, saying that eating is a person's survival instinct, and it is the top priority when you are alive, and if you can live without eating, you are not human.
Even a death row inmate who has committed a heinous crime must be given a full meal when he is dying.
If a condemned prisoner is allowed to go hungry on the road, in case he becomes a starving ghost with a deep grudge, the cell boss who guards him and the executioner who executes him will be retaliated by the starving ghost.
Although my grandfather's words were interesting, I had other things on my mind.
I looked up at the Internet café, and I was still thinking about Sister Mi, so I asked my grandfather, what you just said has something to do with Sister Mi, if it doesn't matter, let's hurry up and get down to business.
Grandpa nodded, and said that I haven't done anything outside yet, and I will leave before dawn, so I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you tonight, starving ghost, of course I have a connection with Xiaomi, otherwise why would I say this.
After Grandpa finished speaking, he pulled me to the edge of the Internet café.
Grandpa asked me to sneak over to see if Sister Mi was there.
I sneaked to the edge of the Internet café and stretched out my head to see that Sister Mi was sitting at the bar eating melon seeds.
I went back and told my grandfather, who pulled me into the dark and said wait a minute, the moon is full tonight, and millet will definitely go to the wild in a while.
My grandfather and I hid in the alley opposite the Internet café and waited for a while, and Sister Mi really walked out of the Internet café.
Sister Mi put on a hooded sun-protective suit, scanned the street left and right, then put on the hat of the sun-protective suit, and walked towards the end of the street.
Sister Mi walked a few steps, and then looked back left and right, probably to see if anyone was following her.
Her two long legs, shining white under the street lamp, made my heart tighten.
Seeing that Sister Mi walked out of my sight, and grandpa was still standing, I whispered to grandpa, let's go up and chase her, if you don't chase her, you will go away, and you won't be able to find it when you want to.
Grandpa shook his head.
"Chasing her at this time, no matter how careful you are, she will find out, don't worry, I know where she will go, and I'm not afraid that I won't find her."
After Grandpa finished speaking, he squatted on the ground and smoked a cigarette, and only when the cigarette burned to the filter did he stand up and say that the time was almost up, I will take you to see how cruel Millet is.
The place where my grandfather took me to my surprise turned out to be the field behind the Taoist temple.
When I passed by the Taoist temple, I saw that there were several houses with lights still on in the East Cross Courtyard where Xu Dao lived for a long time.
Grandpa snorted at the Taoist temple and said Huangshan, Daochang Xu inside, have you seen it?
I told my grandfather that Daochang Xu ate the skull scum.
But I didn't dare to say that Xu Daochang whipped me with a long whip on the night road that day, mainly because I was afraid that my grandfather would come to find him, and he would tell my grandfather about the existence of the iceberg beauty.
Grandpa just smiled when he heard this, and said that in a few days, this guy would be unlucky.
I asked my grandfather again how Xu Daochang didn't save Sister Mi when she saw death.
"Then it will take a while, you can ask him yourself." After Grandpa finished speaking, let me not make a sound, and then the two of them bypassed the Taoist temple and came to the field behind the Taoist temple.
I've never been to this wilderness.
Because Daoist Xu said that in all Taoist temples and temples, there will be lonely souls and wild ghosts who come to the door at night to ask for transcendence, but the statues of Taoist temples and temples block these lonely souls and wild ghosts, so they will gather behind Taoist temples or temples, and refuse to leave until dawn.
It is because of this saying that behind the Taoist temple, no one has ever dared to come, and the weeds in the field have not been trampled on for many years, and they grow wildly, and the lowest place is also one person high.
The moon is full tonight, the moonlight is very bright, and there is a lot of night wind, and the wind blows the grass low, so I can see Sister Mi standing in the field, and there is an extra bright steel knife in her hand.
No wonder in the middle of the night, she still has to wear sun-protective clothing, it turns out that there is a knife hidden in the sun-protective clothing.
Grandpa pulled me to a dirt slope again, and now I stood high and looked far away, and the situation around Sister Mi was clearly seen by me.
Where Sister Mi stood, the weeds were cleared, and the ground was very smooth.
Sister Mi, who is usually soft and soft, is standing in the middle of the flat ground without weeds at the moment, and there is no longer the gentleness when facing me, and I can feel a trace of cruelty from afar.
Sister Mi stuck the steel knife into the dirt, and then lifted a large bamboo basket on the ground.
It turned out that under the big basket, there was a dog's head, and when I looked closely, it was not a dog's head, but a big dog, buried in the dirt below the neck, and only one dog's head was exposed on the ground.
The dog's head drooped and didn't move, and he didn't know if the dog was dead.
Sister Mi made a move and took out a plastic bag from inside the sunscreen clothing.
She shook her hand, and a large bone fell out of the plastic bag, and there was a lot of meat on the big bone.
Then Sister Mi pulled the big bones, slowly, to the dog's mouth with her feet.
It turned out that the dog was not dead.
As soon as it smelled the flesh of the bones, it immediately opened the dog's mouth wide, wanting to bite the bones.
As a result, it couldn't move, couldn't bite the bone, and stuck out its tongue to lick the bone.
When the dog stretched out his tongue and was about to lick the bone, Sister Mi stretched out a foot and gently pulled the bone away.
In this way, the dog's tongue is only a fraction of a small distance from the big bone, but it can't lick it.
I seem to understand a little.
Sister Mi just wants to let this buried dog, watching the meat and bones can't be eaten and licked, starving to death, being a starving dog.
