I know that Mrs. Wang is really looking at me.

To put it more pertinently, she was struggling to look at me.

I use the word struggle because I am not standing at the same level as her head, but diagonally above it.

Even if her head fell backwards because of the loss of elasticity of her muscles and bones due to death, she would only twist horizontally, not at me, which was diagonally upward.

It felt like she wasn't dead yet, but she wanted to look at me, and then she turned her head to look at my position, and her whole body tended to twist slightly.

Mrs. Wang's stunned eyes made me feel that they seemed to be staring wider than before, and her mouth was also opening wider, as if she wanted to say something to me.

My mother was busy coming to me, and the uncles around me kept retreating one by one, and my grandmother snorted at this time and said, "What are you afraid of, it's just that your nerves are pumping, what are you afraid of." ”

The scene fell silent.

I saw that my grandmother bent down and drew a picture on Mrs. Wang's face with her hand, like a mantra, and then she wiped her palm on Mrs. Wang's face, and closed Mrs. Wang's stunned eyes.

Strange to say, after Mrs. Wang's eyes were closed, her twisted head slowly returned to its original state, and her face continued to face the beam above.

There was a deathly silence in the house, and I heard several people outside the door whispering that she was really back, and Mrs. Wang was scared to death by her, and I couldn't help but think of the woman in red, and I didn't know what grievances she had with Mrs. Wang.

"Okay, let's disperse if there's nothing to do, wait for the police to deal with it."

The village chief spoke, and the people in the village left one after another, and my mother knew that I was frightened and wanted to take me home. ”

I don't know why my grandmother let me stay, just wait in the yard, my mother accompanied me, I asked Mrs. Wang how she died, she said she couldn't tell, Aunt Li next door had something to find Mrs. Wang, shouted a few times and didn't respond, then pushed the door in, and found that Mrs. Wang had become the same as before lying on the ground.

Remembering what I hadn't said about the woman in red before, I asked the woman in red why she hadn't seen her in the village since she was from the village.

"We'll talk about that later." Mother wanted to say but held back.

After the police came, the answer given was that Mrs. Wang died of a heart attack, and it was precisely because she died of illness that her expression looked like she was scared to death.

The people in the village who were speculating wildly only closed their mouths when they heard this explanation, and they didn't dare to say anything about her coming back to ask for her life.

No matter where it is, it is important to pay attention to the fact that people die in the ground, Wang Pozi has long been a lonely widow, and the village chief decided to arrange the burial by the village, not so many cumbersome things, buy a coffin and bury it, and find a few people to carry it to the back mountain.

In the countryside, after a person dies, it is necessary to stop the mortuary to mourn, but after the grandmother observed, for some reason, she said that it was too late today, but she must bury the princess before tomorrow afternoon.

There was some urgency in the tone, which made the faces of everyone present full of suspicion.

Tomorrow will be buried, tonight there will be a vigil, the village chief said that he will arrange people, grandma looked at me, said that she will arrange the wake.

"By the way, the person who carries the coffin this time can only be young people under the age of thirty, and those who belong to chickens and tigers can't ask for them."

Grandma's request to the village chief looked difficult, saying that the young people under the age of 30 in the village have gone out to work, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find, or they will follow the previous rules to break the wall?

In the village, for the sake of convenience, a rule was gradually formed, when someone in the family died, the person who carried the coffin was not found by the owner's family, but by the village chief.

At the foot of the wall, one by one lined up to help with the funeral, from the head of the village to the end of the village, and then repeated. Families who do not have the main labor force in the family can avoid it, otherwise they will not be able to escape, and even if they encounter a man in the family who goes out to work, they have to be replaced by the family members who pay for the help of the people in the village.

This is convenient, and secondly, it is also in line with the rules, and the people in the village basically agree, after all, everyone will have a white matter.

"No, it must be a young man under the age of thirty, look for it first, and count a few counts."

Because of her grandmother's identity, the village chief didn't say anything, and everything was done according to what she said.

After the mourning hall was settled, my grandmother came to my side, remembering the situation when Mrs. Wang looked at me before, I asked her why she turned her head to look at me?

"Who said she looked at you, she just didn't have dead nerves, pumping, didn't you just look at you when you were in that position?"

Grandma's words made me feel that something was not right, but it seemed reasonable, so I didn't dwell on this issue.

When my mother asked my grandmother what she wanted me to do, she looked at me with some confusion and looked nervous.

I saw my grandmother say meaningfully: "Ziwu, you have to be wronged tonight, come and help Mrs. Wang keep the spirit." ”

As soon as I heard that I was going to come to the vigil, I asked why, and my grandmother took me to the window of the room where the princess was sleeping, and motioned me to look at the glass of the window.

At this sight, I couldn't help but feel a thrill in my whole body, it felt like ice water was flowing from the top of my head, and my mother was so frightened that she almost screamed.

On the glass of the window, there is a pair of black handprints, but these black handprints have faded a lot, and if you look closely, they are very similar to those that appeared on my windowsill before.

Thinking of the villagers saying that she was back, and the red shadow that flashed outside my room, I asked what was going on.

"You haven't told Meridian yet, have you?" Grandma asked Mother

My mother nodded, and my grandmother pulled me to the place where the sun could get in the yard, and said, "Didn't you keep asking that woman before, she is from our village, her name is Jiang Yan, but she didn't leave the village, but died eighteen years ago." ”

He's dead?

How can I still see her when I'm dead?

It took me a long time to breathe a sigh of relief from my grandmother's words, and I asked, "Wasn't she the one I met that night?" ”

"It's her."

Grandma continued: "Didn't I tell you before, people have three souls and seven spirits, after death, the heavenly soul returns to heaven, the earth soul enters the earth, and the human soul dissipates, but if a person dies unwillingly, such as being killed by someone, or has a grudge against someone, the three souls will not dissipate, and become a soul that can wander outside the body, sometimes it can be seen, sometimes it cannot be seen. ”

Grandma's explanation refreshed my worldview, and I subconsciously asked, "Isn't that the ghost on TV?" ”

"It's not even a good thing, anyway, it's almost the same, when Jiang Yan died, he was angry and made a little trouble."

Speaking of which, I saw that my grandmother looked at me with a somewhat complicated look.

The mother took over the conversation next to her, saying that Jiang Yan's life was actually very bitter, because of the birthmark on her face, she was thrown at the entrance of the village when she was born, and an old couple in the village adopted Jiang Yan because their son died early and had no children.

When Jiang Yan grew up, she was never able to get married because the birthmark on her face affected her appearance, but she was very good, she especially liked children, and she would give candy to the children in the village, so that the children in the village liked to go to her house.

One day, a child in the village suddenly disappeared, and some people said that the child was sold by Jiang Yan, and then said that she was actually a slut, seducing everyone in the village.

This news was spread by Mrs. Wang, she and Jiang Yan seemed to have a grudge, and everyone said that they saw Jiang Yan and someone in the village getting into the cornfield and leaving the village with the missing child.

As soon as the rumors came out, the family members who lost the children made a fuss, and they beat Jiang Yan, and the wives of the men in the rumors came to the door to scold.

Afterwards, the villagers found Jiang Yan wearing red clothes and hanging herself from the roof beam.

Grandma said that when she arrived, she could see at first glance that Jiang Yan committed suicide with resentment. Mrs. Wang was also frightened, saying that her previous words were all made up, because she had a quarrel with Jiang Yan, she couldn't help but talk nonsense.

If a person wears red clothes and dies with a grudge, he will not be able to live.

Grandma said that after Jiang Yan was buried, accidents began to occur in the village, first the princess fell ill, vomited and diarrhea, and then came to the door to beat and scold Jiang Yan's woman, who said that she woke up in the middle of the night and saw Jiang Yan, and at the same time, the children in the village disappeared two in succession.

For a while, the people in the village were panicked, and they all said that the child was taken away by Jiang Yan.

Grandma is the goddess of the village, in charge of these things, under the begging of the villagers, she took action, but in the end I don't know if Jiang Yan was suppressed.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask, "What does that have to do with me?" I wasn't even alive when she died, so what is she doing with me now? ”

The mother sighed helplessly and said, "When she died, you were indeed not alive, but the day your grandmother just sealed her, it was her first seventh, and that night, you were born, and I gave birth to you next to her grave." ”

I was born in a cemetery?
