Chapter 33: The Blind Mother-in-law
didn't come back with the child, what was the baby's cry, it was only the ghost baby who came back for revenge.
"My son and I heard it very clearly that day, it was the cry of a baby, the harsh kind, the cry that made my hairs stand on end, and the low roar, as if someone was holding his neck with his hand and couldn't make a sound." The woman said.
"I was also anxious and wanted to stop it, but my son, hey." The woman stopped.
It seems that his son won't let him go, but in fact, it's true, anyone who hears this creepy cry in the middle of the night wants to find out.
Of course, this is not only the case in rural areas, but everywhere there will be the idea that more is better than less.
"It's okay Auntie, you continue." Zhao Jiayuan urged.
"Then we went back to the house, but the baby's cry was louder, and the voice said don't be angry, as if the little wolf cub was in danger, and whined and roared, and the sound was really scary, and then I heard something ping-pong falling inside."
"The sound didn't stop until it was slightly bright, and your brother came back and quarreled with your aunt, and then I fell asleep in a daze."
"It's no wonder you said, the next night it was that cry again, or at your aunt's house, somehow, hearing this sound gave me goosebumps all over my body, your sister-in-law is gone, the child must have taken it away, but there is crying."
"The crying was far away for a while, and then it was close, as if it was circling around your aunt's house. I'm scared if it's a ghost or something. The woman seemed a little reluctant to say anything at this, and she trembled and took a sip of hot tea from her glass of water, which relieved her for a while.
"During the day, I saw your aunt in the store with those two little girls hurrying away, looking very flustered, and calling her to ignore people. After that, I could hear the baby's cry every night, and it was three watches in the middle of the night, which was very infiltrating. I don't even dare to go out at night and get up at night. The woman shuddered.
Zhao Jiayuan had already determined that the ghost baby had come to take revenge at this time, but why didn't he succeed, is there a treasure to ward off evil spirits?
Zhao Jiayuan had already felt that there was indeed a faint energy exuding from the house just now, but this bit of energy could not resist the attack of the ghost baby, so there was a treasure protecting her.
"Auntie, do you have a temple in your village or pray for blessings, look at the master of feng shui, I mean the kind with real skills." Zhao Jiayuan asked.
"How can there be a temple in our village so small, but there is a goddess." The woman said.
"Where is she, in this village?" Zhao Jiayuan continued to ask.
"No, in the neighboring village, everyone calls her a blind mother-in-law, although she is blind, but her ability is great, divination, fortune telling, looking at feng shui, very accurate, this is not because I am afraid to ask for a talisman." The woman took out a folded piece of yellow rune paper from her pocket.
Zhao Jiayuan faintly felt a surge of energy from the rune paper, it seems that this blind mother-in-law is indeed a capable person.
"How did you find her?" Zhao Jiayuan asked.
"When you get out of this village, go all the way along the road, and when you see the word village, you can find the third house on the road." The woman said.
After saying goodbye to the woman, the three of them drove to the village that the woman said, and the village was not big, just like the S village just now.
They followed the road to a third one.
A low-rise tiled house, very dilapidated, looks like it's been around for a long time.
The door was still wooden, Zhao Jiayuan stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after waiting for a while, the door opened a gap wide for a person.
It is an old man on crutches, with no pupils, about 80 years old, hunched over, and it seems that this blind mother-in-law is this.
"Hello, are you a blind mother-in-law?" Zhao Jiayuan took a step back and said.
"Come in." In a hoarse voice, the blind woman opened the door and walked in by herself.
The three of them followed suit.
The courtyard is full of funeral supplies such as paper people, paper cars, paper house wreaths, etc., especially the paper people are made vividly, like living people, smiling slightly, stretching out their hands, as if welcoming the arrival of Zhao Jiayuan.
There were also some paper ashes, hovering low in the air, as if attracted by something and refusing to leave.
Zhou Junyi was very timid, holding Zhao Jiayuan's arm tightly with both hands, not daring to look at these funeral supplies.
Zhao Jiayuan also knew that it was an ordinary girl who would be very scared when she saw such a scene, except for some people (Bai Min'er), he didn't stop Zhou Junyi's movements.
When Zhou Junyi grabbed Zhao Jiayuan's arm, he felt a burst of softness on his arm, and the feeling was the same as the gentleness that he felt when he was touched by blood after fighting the ghost baby, in fact, this was another willingness he was unwilling to stop.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon, but the room was very dark and damp, and there was a faint smell of decay, which gave people an indescribable uncomfortable feeling, very oppressive, and made people feel unconsciously frightened.
From the moment you enter the courtyard, there is a strange atmosphere everywhere.
"Sit down for a moment, and I'll be right back." The blind woman said slowly, and then walked into the back room.
Zhao Jiayuan looked around seriously, there was something black on the walls around him, he couldn't see clearly, there was a statue directly behind the room, the statue was covered by the smoke of incense, and he couldn't see the appearance of the portrait clearly, but he could be sure that it was an old man.
There were no tributes on the table in front of the statue, only the incense burner and the three incense sticks inside.
There are two Taishi chairs on both sides of the table, which is not in line with common sense, the enshrined statue should not be like this, it is taboo to put two chairs next to it, only the Yin Mansion will do this.
Seeing this, Zhao Jiayuan knew that this place was unusual.
Zhou Haibo was also looking at this house, and with his many years of being a criminal policeman, he also knew that this place was very strange.
"I smell a faint smell of rotting corpses." Zhou Haibo leaned next to Zhao Jiayuan and said softly.
"Well, I smell it too." Zhao Jiayuan nodded, he smelled this smell as soon as he entered the door.
"How come I didn't smell it." Zhou Junyi still held Zhao Jiayuan's arm and refused to let go.
Zhou Haibo next to him saw Zhou Junyi like this, he didn't say anything, just swept Zhao Jiayuan fiercely with his eyes.
Zhao Jiayuan had an indescribable feeling, especially when he saw the posthumous image, he always felt that the person on the posthumous image was very similar to the blind mother-in-law.
He walked towards the statue, and Zhou Junyi next to him was still holding Zhao Jiayuan's arm, looking very scared.
Slowly approach the statue, and you can see the appearance of the statue clearly when you walk in.
"Ahem, cough, cough" A coughing sound came from behind him, it was the blind mother-in-law's.
She was already very scared, she suddenly heard a cough behind her, and she was even more afraid, she whispered "ah", and held Zhao Jiayuan's arm more tightly with both hands, not this time it was not a pull but a pinch, she pinched Zhao Jiayuan's arm fiercely with both hands.
Zhao Jiayuan patted her with small hands, looked down at her and said, "You pinched my meat." ”
Zhou Junyi reacted at this time, and hurriedly let go of the pinching hand, but he still held Zhao Jiayuan's arm and refused to relax.
"Ahem, ahem," the blind mother-in-law coughed twice, walked to the Taishi chair on crutches and sat down.
