"What are you going to do at night when you don't sleep?" Yang said.

I breathed a sigh of relief and startled me to the fact that it was her.

I looked at her suspiciously, how she was dressed neatly at night, even the cloth shoes on her feet were tied well, this didn't look like she got up suddenly.

"We can't sleep, so we go around and ask, is there anyone living there?" I said, pointing in the direction where the firelight appeared.

Yang Yan looked at me with a strange expression: "Why do you ask that?" ”

"I seem to see a figure." I said.

"You read it wrong, there is no one inside, don't go again, there are wild beasts in the deep mountains and old forests over there, especially at night, they are particularly fierce and will hurt people, you go back to sleep quickly." Yang said.

She denied it too simply, almost without thinking about it, as if she was deliberately hiding something. There's definitely something quirky about that wood.

I didn't say anything more, I told Shang Tu to go into the house, but Yang Yan did not leave, and followed us until we each entered our own house. I could see that she was not far away, but was staring at us not far away, in case we passed again.

I don't know if there is a ghost woman living in the mountain, but there is definitely some secret.

The next day, I still got up early in the morning to train, and the old man Ma didn't ask me to run 20 laps again, but directly asked me to run 10 laps according to my performance yesterday.

After ten laps, I was still as tired as yesterday, and my eyes were dizzy and I couldn't stand on the ground. dragged his tired body back to the house, and did twenty-five push-ups in the backyard before he was paralyzed and ate breakfast.

When Yang Yan brought the meal, he also took a special look at me and Tu'e, obviously not forgetting what happened last night.

While I was having breakfast, I talked to the old man Ma about last night's incident and the cyan firelight.

The old man seemed to know from the beginning, and said calmly: "She knows what we do, if she needs help, she will naturally look for us, since they don't want us to know, and the matter has little impact, we don't have to pay attention." ”

Old man Ma said so, we don't need to meddle in things, coming here itself is to take refuge, and there is no need to offend people again.

I asked again, "Master, what is a ghost woman?" You never told me. ”

He had long said he was going to tell me, but he never did. Although Tu told me about it when I met that ghost woman before, I would like to hear what the old man Ma has to say.

The old man Ma was a little disdainful to mention it, and said lightly: "The ghost woman is a half-human and half-ghost monster, and she is forced to stay in a breath, dragging her rotten body around to cause trouble, and killing her to take her soul to continue her time." ”

"How is this thing going to kill her?"

"Just cut off her breath, the easiest way is to burn it clean, didn't you say you burned one to death last time?" The old man said.

"Are you sure you can't be resurrected after being burned?"

"If it is completely burned to ashes, the king of heaven will not be able to resurrect it!"

In this way, I was relieved that it was not the ghost woman who was resurrected, but that the scene was too similar to what I saw when I was a child.

It's none of my business, people don't need our help, and I won't bother with it. Even though I still hear hoarse coughs and see the strange cyan fire every night, I'm getting used to it.

After a few days of exercise, my physical fitness has improved significantly, and I have learned a lot from the old man, and at the same time, I have eaten all the game in the mountains......

The village is quiet every day, and the only thing that is more "lively" is that the old man of a family has died, and many people from outside the village come to mourn, and they have invited the Taoist to come over and blow and beat the way.

In the evening, after completing the day's training, I saw several people from the village hurrying to a certain house. The direction was not to go to the funeral people's homes, they were in such a hurry, what happened?

I couldn't help asking, "Where are you going in such a hurry?" What happened? ”

"The child of the second uncle's family is gone, it is estimated that he was lost in the mountains, so we went over and prepared to go up the mountains to find it." One of them said.

Lost in the mountains? Here in the deep mountains and old forests, a child lost in it!

"Let's look for it together." I said.

A hint of strangeness flashed on the expressions of several people, and one of them said: "No need, you are not familiar with this place, and it will not be of much use if you go, and you may get lost." ”

A few people left in a hurry. Obviously they don't want me to discover the mystery in the mountain, and they don't even need my help when the child gets lost in the mountain, so what secrets are in the mountain, so they can't let us know!

The old man walked out of the house: "You go to the funeral house tonight to have a good look, what kind of physical strength the person who eats this meal must have, I have already told the people, you can go directly after dinner in a while." ”

I was stunned, because whether it was Old Man Ma, Tu'e, or Xiao Qingwan, their images were relatively distinct, and they always gave me a feeling of being a master in the world. As for the gods and goddesses in the countryside, they still have the original impression, and they feel that they are bluffing people and cheating money. Keep the two separated. But in fact the nature of the two is the same. I'm walking with those gods and goddesses now.

Because I suffered from the ghost mother-in-law when I was a child, I haven't attended any funerals for so many years, and even my grandfather's funeral was far away.

In the evening, I really came to the funeral person's house, and a few Taoist priests were blowing and playing outside, both familiar and unfamiliar. The coffin was placed in the center of the living room, and an altar was placed in front of the coffin, incense and candles were lit, and tributes were placed. On both sides of the coffin, straw mats were laid against the wall, and men and women took off their shoes and sat on one side.

said that we had already told others, but in fact, no one could take care of us, and we were either tired and dozing off, or talking to the people around us in a whisper. The guy didn't come along, and I was bored by myself.

Dao Gong began to do it, singing and dancing, blowing and blowing, and sometimes bringing a group of mourners to toast and burn paper. As the night deepened, I stayed alone in the corner, extremely sleepy, and sincerely admired the physical strength of these Daoists, aren't they tired?

A chill filled the room, and I woke up from a half-dream. All of a sudden, the yin qi became heavier!

The dim incandescent lamp suddenly went out, and the candlelight on the altar turned into a faint glow!

The mourners suddenly panicked: "What's the matter! What happened! "Why did the lights go out!" "Is it because the fourth prince refuses to leave?"

A gust of wind swept from outside the house, the paper money on the altar flew to the ground, and the candle flame shook violently. People screamed, and the children cried.
