There was a gust of wind behind me, and then there was no movement, and I asked my grandfather fearfully after staring at my round eyes, "Was that a ghost just now?" ”

There are ghost legends everywhere in the countryside, and it is common to hear people in the village say that they are haunted. Just a few days ago, an old man surnamed Li in the same village went out to sell his own persimmons, and when he returned to the village, he found a waterhole to wash his hands, and just bent down to carry the scale that fell into the waterhole, the scale was iron, but it did not sink in the pool, so frightened that the old man Li hurriedly left the waterhole, and when he came back to talk nonsense to the people in the village, he said that if his straw hat fell into the water, he would probably not be able to come back, because it was normal for the straw hat to fall into the water and float, and he would definitely pick it up. The scales are iron, and they can't sink because there are water monkeys holding them with their hands below, specifically to seduce people to pick them up, and as long as they dare to reach out, they will be pulled down.

Water monkey means water ghost, which refers to the ghosts that those who drown in the water become.

My grandfather used to say that if the living want to see ghosts, they should wear a cloak upside down, find a ditch to sit on, and they can see it in the middle of the night.

Grandpa didn't answer my question, but said in disguise, "Ghosts are also human, ghosts are afraid of the wicked, and when they see ghosts roaring twice, they don't dare to get close." ”

I asked him again why the ghost had pulled his foot out of my heel just now when he was peeing. Grandpa said that the one at my feet was a female doll, and she was so dirty that she pulled her toes out, but if it was a man, it wouldn't work to pee on her feet.

After that, I went back to the house with my grandfather, and after hiding the door, my grandfather still asked me to sit and read, and he filled a bag of cigarettes next to him, took a few puffs, and then leaned back in his chair and snored.

Grandpa was awake, but as soon as he slept, I was always thinking about a woman sticking to my back and putting her toes into my heels, and he said that someone would come to me, and the more I thought about it, the more afraid I became, until it was almost twelve o'clock, and suddenly there was a rustling sound outside, I was so frightened that I was so frightened that I sat down and stared at the door, and reached out and pulled down my grandfather, "Grandpa, there are people outside." ”

Grandpa didn't sleep at all, glanced at me with half-open eyes and said, "I'm here to take you away, don't worry about him, pretend not to see, just read your book." Grandpa closed his eyes again.

I sat and read a book with a lot of anxiety, and after a while, someone suddenly reached out and pushed the door open, and a blue-faced man wearing gold armor and carrying a wire rope on his shoulder looked into the room a few times, and saw that my grandfather and I were sitting in the hall, and then stepped in with his legs.

I swallowed my saliva and quickly looked down at the book, pretending not to see him. The green-faced man walked straight up to me and reached out to grab me, but as soon as his hand touched me, a wisp of green smoke came out of it, and he hurriedly shrank back, and then tried several times, and the result was the same.

I now know how useful my grandfather is in letting me read books, and when I read books, I really have to give way to ghosts and gods.

The blue-faced man also noticed that I was reading, he couldn't move me, he stood in front of me, scratched his ears and cheeks and thought for a while, then he saw a teapot on the table next to him, so he walked to the table, moved the teapot to the edge of the table where it was about to land, and then bent down and picked up a small pebble on the ground, and smashed it on the wall over there, making a sound.

I turned my head to look and saw the teapot that was about to fall to the ground, according to common sense, I should get up and move the teapot in, and he also expected me to put down the book and move the teapot, so I naturally didn't get up, I just looked at it and immediately turned my head to continue reading.

Seeing that I was not moved, the blue-faced man thought of a way again, walked to the door and opened the door, and then closed it, repeated several times, seduced me to put down the book and get up to close the door, I was still unmoved, the blue-faced man was out of line, and simply walked in front of his grandfather.

Grandpa closed his eyes at this moment, and he didn't read, so he immediately took off the iron rope on his shoulder and put it on his neck, but just as he was about to put it on, his grandfather slid down, just avoiding his iron rope. The green-faced man carried the iron rope to his grandfather's arm, and his hand had just reached over, when the grandfather suddenly opened his eyes, reached out and grabbed his wrist, got up and pressed him on the chair with his backhand, and then picked up the rolling pin next to him that read 'Torture Ghost Marshal Meng', slammed it on the green-faced man's head, and scolded, "Let you pretend to be a ghost in front of Lao Tzu!" ”

The green-faced man didn't reflect, his eyes widened, he screamed, and subconsciously raised his hand to block, grandpa's rolling pin fell, and a burst of thick green smoke immediately came out of the green-faced man's body, and after the green smoke, the green-faced man in front of him was no longer there, only a red paper man with words written on the chair was left.

I got up and looked at the scene that had just happened in amazement, and asked my grandfather, "What is this?" ”

Grandpa bent down and picked up the paper figure and looked at it over and over again, took the book in my hand, sandwiched the red paper figure in the book, and replied to me, "White paper and yellow paper are all alive, which can prevent people from diseases and disasters, and red paper and black paper are used to harm people, and they are painted with the ghost of the underworld." ”

There are also rumors in the countryside of the Xuanming ghost, many old people before dying, will talk about who is going to take him away, on the night of the dying, when relatives see off, they often see two black figures in the dark place outside the house, they all say that it is the 'Xuanming two envoys' in the underworld, as long as they see the two envoys of Xuanming, they will definitely die.

Grandpa put the paper figure in the book and said, "There are two ghosts, and there is one, you sit still as before, and wait for him to come to the door." ”

I said yes, took the book and continued to read, grandpa hid at the door with a rolling pin, while holding a cigarette gun while waiting, after nearly half an hour or so, there was a gust of wind blowing outside the door, and then a black-faced ghost who was dressed like before stood at the door, went to the door and looked into the house, saw that I was there, and asked me directly, "My brother just arrived in your house, did you see my brother?" ”

Grandpa hid at the door and nodded at me, and I replied, "See, I'll tell you when you come in." ”

The black-faced ghost stood at the door for a few seconds before stepping in, and was about to speak, when Grandpa came out from behind the door, suddenly lifted the rolling pin in his hand and hit it with a stick, and there was a puff of green smoke, and the black-faced man who came in soon became another paper man.

Grandpa hurriedly picked up the paper figure again, put it in the book in my hand, and then said to me, "Now it's the turn of the old blind man to come to my door with incense." ”

I said in my heart that I accepted two paper people, why did he hold incense and come to the door to beg for mercy.

Grandpa seemed to see the faint disdain and suspicion in my expression, knocked me on the head with a cigarette gun, and said, "There are eight characters on the paper figure, which is the birthday of the old blind man's two sons. ”

I believed my grandfather's words, but after this night of tossing, I was extremely sleepy, and my grandfather didn't force me to read anymore, and let me lie on the bed on all fours and fall asleep.

I don't know how long it has been since I slept this time, and if I rarely dream on weekdays, this time I had a very strange dream.

I dreamed of a woman who had been beaten to the point of bleeding, and came to the door with an old man and an old mother, and the old man and the old woman pulled me by the hair to clean me up, saying that I beat their granddaughter like this, and they would not give up until they beat me like this, and the old woman and the old man showed no mercy to me in the dream, and beat me to vomit two or three times.

I don't know how long I dreamed, I was awakened by a sound of talking, I opened my eyes and saw that it was already three poles outside, and then I sniffed it, and a foul smell came, and I was busy checking the quilt, and found that it was full of my vomit, and I was extremely disgusting, which was more embarrassing than bedwetting.

I remembered the dream at night again, and I was so shocked that I hurriedly got out of bed to find my grandfather, and before I said anything about my vomiting, I saw a woman standing in front of my grandfather with cigarettes, wine, and candy, and my grandfather was sitting on a chair smoking with a blank face.

I knew this woman, an old blind woman, but I didn't quite understand what she was doing with cigarettes and alcohol, so I stood at the door and watched for a while.

I don't know what she said to my grandfather before, anyway, I only saw my grandfather's unhappy face, holding a cigarette and saying unreasonably, "It doesn't work for you to come, you let the blind man come, let him kowtow to my grandson, admit his mistake, I won't pursue it, otherwise we won't be done with this matter!" ”

The old blind woman immediately fell to her knees, kowtowed to her grandfather, and changed her smiling face to a crying face, and said, "When I got up this morning, I called my two sons too early, and shouted several times that they should not answer me, and I went to their house to look at them, and found that they were both dead." The blind man said that he was taken away by you, and if you don't let go of the people, they won't survive. Woe to the descendants of the family, I will kowtow to Chen Tian on behalf of the blind man to admit his mistakes, and I beg you to raise your noble hand......"

When the blind woman saw me standing at the door of the side house, she immediately turned around and kowtowed to me, crying and saying, "Chen Tian, the blind man shouldn't fix you, I will kowtow to you on his behalf to admit my mistakes, you quickly persuade your grandfather, I took you to let go of the cow when I was a child." ”
