If, at some point, you look in the mirror and suddenly see an extra piece on your face, how would you react?

I sat down on the ground, touching my aching face, and wanted to scream, but it was like a hand around my neck, and I couldn't scream.

My grandmother asked me what the birthmark on a woman's face looked like, and I couldn't remember it, but now I think if I remember correctly, the birthmark on a woman's face would be exactly the same as mine.

There was a wake-up movement in my mother's room, and I didn't want to scare her, so I went back to my room.

Thinking of the sudden appearance of a woman's birthmark on her face, it was probably related to the black handprint that appeared on the windowsill last night, so I went to look at the black handprints on the windowsill, but the black handprints had disappeared somehow.

After a while, I accepted the fact that I suddenly had a birthmark on my face.

Thinking about it, I really can't figure it out, I was at home all day yesterday, and it is incomprehensible why the birthmark on a woman's face suddenly appeared on my face.

The mother shouted outside that grandma was here and asked her to go out and help with the decoration.

The birthmark was on my face, I hurriedly picked up a piece of paper to cover my face and walked out, my mother looked up and said angrily how old people are still playing, hurry up and help.

My grandmother was looking at me and asked me what I was doing with my face, and I took the paper away, and my mother screamed in fright, and her eyes rolled and she fainted.

"When's it?" Grandma asked me.

"This morning, when I woke up, I felt some pain in my face, and I saw it."

"Does she have the same look on her face?"

I nodded, and couldn't help but ask Grandma how could this be? How can I get that woman's birthmark on my face? Who is that woman?

Grandma didn't speak, the room fell silent, I wanted to ask but couldn't open my mouth, and my heart couldn't speak. After a while, my mother woke up, stared at the birthmark on my face for a few seconds, and then hugged me and cried loudly.

Grandma sat next to her and stared blankly at the ground, her eyes made me subconsciously nervous. For the first time in my memory, I felt that my grandmother's eyes were so terrifying.

After a while, the grandmother suddenly stood up and said loudly: "What are you afraid of, you should come sooner or later, if you want my grandson's life, it depends on her ability, go, do things first." ”

Want my life?

Grandma's words made me nervous, and I subconsciously thought that the woman in red was trying to kill me? I wanted to ask but didn't know what to ask, so I followed my grandmother to the yard in a daze.

"Meridian, lie inside."

Grandma pointed to the white coffin placed in the center of the yard, in my consciousness, the coffin is for the dead to lie down, I hesitated for a while, raised my head and suddenly saw that my grandmother's eyes became a little fierce, I hurriedly crawled inside.

Grandma handed me a small clay figure, the clay figure was densely written with a lot of small characters, and a yellow charm was pasted, and the clay figure had a needle inserted in the eyebrows and shoulders.

I asked what the clay figure was, and my grandmother said it was my stand-in, with my birth date on it, and all kinds of spells to attract spirits, this way is called stand-in tricks, and now it's just a practice, and the spirit won't be able to come back until the evening.

Listening to it is a summoning spirit, I was puzzled and asked if it was not a conjuring spirit, grandma shook her head and said yes or no, I lost it this time.

Then, my grandmother explained that the soul we usually talk about is actually just a general name, and when it is really subdivided, a person's soul is divided into three souls and seven spirits. The three souls are the heavenly soul, the earth soul, and the life soul, and the seven spirits are the corpse dog, the arrow, the bird's yin, the thief swallower, the non-poisonous, the defilement, and the stinky lung.

Whether the soul is lost or the spirit is lost, people will have a certain reaction. I came back this time and was so sleepy, precisely because I lost my soul and not my soul, and if I lost my soul, I would be the same as when I was a child, and my whole body would be uncomfortable, and if I lost my soul, I would be more sleepy.

Grandma said that under normal circumstances, if you lose it, the way of summoning is similar to that of summoning spirits, and you can come back with a simple shout. But this time I wore a protective object and lost my spirit, so I had to do something.

After listening to these explanations, I didn't say much.

The white coffin is surrounded by a large circle with stove ash, and there are a lot of small pavilions in the circle, which are somewhat similar to the things called the magic circle drawn by the grandmother on the bedside before, and there are paper bags in them, and the paper bags contain things like paper money and yellow paper.

After arranging it, the mother lit the paper bag, and the grandmother carried an oil lamp around the white coffin and began to walk, moving quickly and slowly, sometimes even jumping, and landing at the junction of the lines of the circle.

I lay flat in the coffin, holding a clay figure stand-in in my hand.

I don't know if it was because the paper bag outside was lit and the temperature increased, or because the ritual worked, I gradually felt very hot, so hot that I sweated all over, and strangely, the clay figure in my hand became more and more icy, and even a little prickly.

Because my grandmother couldn't move until the end of the ceremony, I could only endure it, and the heat behind me was so foggy that I had a dream.

I dreamed that the woman in red came to me and pulled me to go with her, but I didn't go, but my feet seemed to disobey her and followed her automatically, and I struggled hard, and when I moved, I heard my mother shouting at me, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that the ritual was over.

Coming out of the coffin, my grandmother drew a big incantation on my chest, and then drew an identical incantation on the bottom of the coffin, placing a clay figure on the incantation, saying that I would be back to normal when I came back in the evening.

Thinking of the birthmark that appeared inexplicably on my face, I asked what to do with the birthmark, and my grandmother said that there was no need to rush, she had a way.

The coffin needs to be placed in its place, but the things on the ground can be taken away, and when I collected the things, I asked my mother if she knew the woman, and I thought that my mother still wouldn't say, but this time she nodded and said that she was from our village before.

I said, since she is from the village, why haven't I seen her in the village before? My mother straightened up and looked at me, and just as I was about to open my mouth, a person rushed in at the gate of the courtyard, it was the village chief, and he looked panicked, as if something had happened.

"Sister Chen, something happened."

After shouting, the village chief saw the birthmark on my face, and immediately took two steps back in fright, and after staring at me for a few seconds, his eyes suddenly changed, and I felt like he was pitying me.

The mother asked what was wrong, and the village chief hurriedly said that Mrs. Wang was dead.

I saw my mother suddenly stumble and almost sit on the ground, and her eyes became very dull after standing firmly.

This reaction was incomprehensible to me for a while.

Mrs. Wang is a native of this village, and has a nickname called the long-tongued woman, who especially likes to gossip and chews her tongue a lot, which has led to problems in the marriage of several families in the village, so that many people in the village have some complaints about her and basically do not interact with her.

My family and Mrs. Wang don't have any contact, except for the village will meet to say hello, I haven't come to the door to do business, it stands to reason that she died, my mother will not have a big reaction, but my mother's reaction, I feel really a little big, like I don't believe it.

Grandma walked out of the house and asked how Mrs. Wang died, the village chief opened his mouth to say, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Sister Chen, you should go and take a look, everyone thinks that Mrs. Wang's death is a little abnormal, and the people in the village say that she is back." ”

When she came back, I saw the village chief glance at me in passing.

Grandma also glanced at me, explained to clean up the things on the ground, and followed the village chief to Mrs. Wang's house. As soon as they walked with their front feet, their mother hurriedly followed them out, looking in the direction of Wang's mother-in-law's house.

Mrs. Wang, a person in her sixties, is it necessary to make such a fuss when she dies? Thinking about my mother's reaction and what happened in the past two days, I think there is probably something wrong with this.

Curious, I also wanted to see how the death of Mrs. Wang was abnormal, so I hurriedly cleaned up the things in the yard, went back to the house to find some gauze, and covered the birthmark on the right side of my face before going out.

There were already a lot of people gathered at the door of Mrs. Wang's house, and when my uncle from the village saw that my face was covered with gauze, he asked me what was wrong, and I said that I accidentally fell down and squeezed inside.

Mrs. Wang's body was lying in the hall, and my grandmother, the village chief and others were standing next to the corpse, and I went up, only to see Mrs. Wang's eyes glaring at the boss, looking at the beams of the house in a daze, her mouth was also open, and her whole face was a little hideous.

It was the first time I had seen such a dead person, so I couldn't help but take a step back, and as soon as I looked up, I saw my mother looking at me, she glared at me, and my grandmother also saw me, and didn't say anything.

The surrounding uncles are whispering about the death of the princess, because it is the first time to come to the princess's house, I looked around, and was watching, the uncle next to me suddenly shouted, I turned my head to look, and saw him looking at the princess on the ground with a frightened face, and also turned his head to look at the princess.

This sight scared me on the spot.

Mrs. Wang's face, which was originally facing Fang Liang, has turned to the direction where I am standing, and her round eyes are looking at me in a daze.
