Ghosts belong to yin, and they are extremely yin things. And people are yang, masculine. Yin and yang are always mutually reinforcing. Therefore man and demon cannot meet. Especially for people, it is very harmful to the yang body. If you encounter a ghost at night, it can also be explained that there is a high chance of ghosts and gods at night, and if you do, it may be inevitable. But if you encounter a ghost in broad daylight, it is extremely disadvantageous. So there is a popular saying among the people: if you see a ghost in the daytime, you have to peel off the skin if you don't die.

The following story is a story about the living seeing ghosts during the day.

Our village is called Gaojialou, from our village to the east, three or four miles away, there is also a village, called Houyingzi. Because of the proximity to our village, the villagers are familiar with each other. For people like Liu Wuye, who often run out and love to deal with, there are more acquaintances.

There is a person surnamed Liu in this village, named Liu Changde. is a few years older than Liu Wuye, and in addition to farming, this person can also drive a tractor. I have a tractor at home, and I usually pull goods for others, and by the way, I earn some extra money. Liu Wuye and him are more familiar with him, both surnamed Liu, and they are also warm-hearted and have similar temperaments, so the relationship is very good.

Today, Liu Wuye told me about this Liu Changde.

Liu Changde has a family of four, his daughter-in-law works with him in the family farm, there is a son who is studying in other places, and the youngest daughter is young. Because there were really not many families who could buy a tractor to pull goods in those days.

It is said that it was the autumn of one year, and it was almost the August Festival, that is, the Mid-Autumn Festival. This festival is a big festival in our country, and every family attaches great importance to it, and every family prepares wine and food, pays tribute to the ancestors, and celebrates reunion.

Anyway, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Changde's family also got up early, and the daughter-in-law was preparing meals in the morning. Because there is a saying in the countryside that if you go to the grave during the New Year's Festival, you must go to the grave before noon.

It may be that the steamed bread came out of the pot a little late, as a tribute to the steamed bread that must be brought, Liu Changde has been waiting. When everything was ready, it was almost noon. The rest of the people in the village have come back one after another. Liu Changde hurriedly took his things and went out.

His family's ancestral grave is on the north side of the village, where two generations of his grandfather and father are buried. According to common sense, Liu Changde has to go to worship the ancestral tomb first. After the memorial service from the ancestral grave, Liu Changde had to go straight to the west of the village, where there was a tomb of his family, where Liu Changde's eldest brother was buried alone. When Liu Changde finished paying tribute to the ancestral tomb and came to the west of the village, the sun was already in the middle, which meant that it was noon soon.

The tomb was buried on the top of a ditch on the west side. Liu Changde hurried to the ditch, thinking that he had finally reached the ravine. Thinking that the memorial service can be completed just before noon, there is still time to come.

He had just climbed a few steps up the ditch and was about to go up when he suddenly heard someone talking. And the voice seemed to come from the top of the ravine, which was also the direction of the cemetery, Liu Changde was very puzzled in his heart, wondering who would be here at this time, and there was only one grave of his eldest brother here, and it was impossible for other people in the village to go to the grave to talk.

When I listened closely, I heard someone say, "Why haven't you come yet?" It's time to come! Then there was a soft sigh.

Liu Changde was even more puzzled, and as he spoke, he climbed up the ditch, and when he showed his head, his eyes looked at the cemetery! Hanmaoduli was stunned, for he saw his eldest brother, who was now sitting upright on the grave, looking from side to side.

Liu Changde's mother shouted out, threw away the tribute and burning paper in his hand, and crawled down the slope of the ditch. He ran without looking back.

This run arrived home in one go. The daughter-in-law looked at Liu Changde covered in soil, pale, and very embarrassed, so she asked Liu Changde: "Dad, what's wrong with you, how did you become like this when you went to the grave." ”

Liu Changde didn't dare to say anything, so he said that he accidentally fell on his head.

Since this incident, Liu Changde seems to have changed as a different person, sleepy every day, without a little energy, and his face is pale, without a little blood. The family didn't care, thinking it was because of poor rest.

On this day, Liu Changde's family wanted to repair a pigsty, and the pigsty in the countryside was made of stone. Because of disrepair, Liu Changde's pigsty was about to collapse, and Liu Changde drove a tractor to the river early in the morning to pull stones. The location of this stone pulling is quite far from home, but fortunately Liu Changde has a tractor, so it is convenient.

It was a whole morning, and a cart of rocks was enough. Liu Changde rested in the house for a while, looking at the noon soon, thinking that he would quickly finish pulling the last cart of stones, and then rest completely. With that, he started the tractor and drove towards the river.

Liu Wuye happened to come back from the village today, and he came out for a few days, his work was not very good, he didn't make a lot of money, and he was almost busy in autumn, so he also went home.

Walking on the road with a pick, when passing by Liu Changde's village, I saw Liu Changde driving a tractor from a distance, and the car was full of stones. When Liu Wuye saw that it was him, he was already familiar with each other and greeted him from afar.

"Brother Changde, what are you busy with?"

Liu Changde also saw the fifth master, and when he heard the fifth master ask, he said: "It's not that the pigsty at home is broken, pull some stones and build it again." ”

Liu Wuye said again: "You did it yourself, and you didn't find anyone to help?" ”

"This bit of work is nothing, I can do it myself, this is the last trip." Liu Changde replied.

After a few more greetings to each other, Liu Changde drove the tractor and passed by the fifth master. The fifth master also continued to walk forward.

Liu Wuye walked forward like this for a while, and the roar of the tractor was still in his ears at this time. The fifth master turned his head and glanced at Liu Changde who was far away.

Just at this glance, I suddenly discovered! There is another person next to Liu Changde, because the driver's seat of the tractor is in the middle, and there is a sub-seat on the side. And this person sat side by side with Liu Changde on this separate seat.

Because the distance is not too far, the view is particularly clear, and the man is wearing a large blue jacket, just like the shroud worn by a dead man. Because it was the back, the fifth master couldn't see this person's face clearly.

The fifth master was very surprised, when he passed by just now, it was clearly Liu Changde alone, why is there one more person now? Thinking about it again, I may have met people from their village, and by the way, I took Liu Changde back to the village, but the clothes this person was wearing were too strange, and Liu Wuye had a faint feeling in his heart.

Thinking like this, the fifth master continued to rush back to the village. After lunch, Liu Wuye was smoking a cigarette pouch in the yard and basking in the sun. At this time, I saw Xizi in the village holding a wad of paper money in her hand and walked over from afar.

"Kiko, what are you doing with burning paper?" The fifth master called out to Xizi and asked.

Xizi stopped and said to the fifth master: "Fifth master, haven't you heard? Liu Changde of Houyingzi Village was stoned to death at noon today. ”

When the fifth master heard this, he was shocked, he saw him at noon today, why did he die now. Hurry up and ask Kiko: "Really! How did you kill it? ”

Xizi also shook his head, "It's really a blessing and a curse, I heard that the family repaired the pigsty, used a tractor to pull stones, was the last car, who knew that when I was about to get home, the car overturned on the flat ground, and the stones on the car rolled down and hit the head directly, and before I was sent to the township hospital, the person died on the way." ”

The fifth master thought of meeting Liu Changde this morning, and his heart was even tighter. It seems that this is predestined in the dark.
