Chapter 26: The Shadow of a Ghost (2)
"Just a shadow." Ye Limit reached out and touched the wall, looking at the broken wood in the corner, he took a small piece, rubbed the broken part on the wall a few times, and the whitewashed wall skin fell down, revealing the black bottom inside, Ye Limit scraped a few times with a piece of wood, and the black bottom scraped off some soil powder, Ye Limit twisted the soil powder with his fingers, put it on the side of his nose and smelled it, Xiao Wu looked at her series of movements, and felt strange: "What do you do when you smell it?" ”
"You pinch some powder, too, and smell it."
What does the smell of clay powder have?
Although Xiao Wu didn't understand why, he still twisted some soil powder, sniffed it carefully, and said, "It's strange, there is a smell of iron." ”
"Yes, the smell of iron, I'm afraid there is something else in it, our nose didn't smell it, if only Chen Feiyang was here."
Zhao Nan smiled: "He's not a dog, be careful that he hears this and fights with you." ”
"It's not a dog but it's also a relative of a dog, and the nose is much smarter than ours."
"There is an iron smell in this powder, does it have anything to do with this ghost?" Xiao Wu asked.
Occasionally, a bolt of lightning struck the faces of the three people in the room.
It's just that the figure on the wall gradually faded, as if it was shrouded in a layer of smoke, and it could be dispersed with a faint breath.
"I'm just guessing, probably nonsense." Ye Quan looked at the darkness, Xiao Wu's wide eyes were shining, very much like Chen Feiyang's distant relatives, he couldn't help but smile, and continued, "I have seen some similar situations in the past, many old houses use pigments when painting the courtyard walls, and some pigments are mixed with iron powder and other metal non-powders, of course, they may not be intentionally mixed in, if these powders are more than lightning and the like, and encounter a powerful light source, it will be like ......"
"Ah, I see, you said that lightning is like a magnesium lamp, and that kind of wall becomes like film, and the light flashes and leaves the shadow of a person."
Xiao Wu patted his head: "It's just that this thing is too coincidental." ”
"Yes, there is no book without coincidence, things in this world are sometimes so coincidental, and a variety of coincidences come together."
Zhao Nan listened to their discussion, and interjected on the side: "You can also think like this, a small-footed woman like Liu Pozi, can move the mind to kill, it must be a resolute killing intent in the mind, a strong mind is catching up with this thunderstorm night, the magnetic field is combined, leaving such a shadow, from another angle, the shadow is Liu Pozi's soul, how can a woman like her have such a big heart to kill, it was her soul instigated, the soul led the main owner to kill, when he lifted the washing stick, a lightning bolt struck down, and the soul left on the wall, Now this Liu Pozi should be a person with three souls and six souls, I see that she looks sluggish and keeps chanting Buddha, not like a normal person. ”
The disease of leaving the soul has existed since ancient times, so many children are frightened when they are young, and some of the three souls and six spirits will be scared away, and they need the help of the elderly to collect their souls. A woman with a cowardly personality who has to rely on her teenage son to fight against her husband is not close enough in the soul, because of fright and anger, it is normal to detach from a part.
The three men came out and found that the rain had already lightened, drizzling and like smoke.
Liu Dahai opened the door and saw Xiao Wu carrying a flashlight, and his face was displeased: "Why are you here again?" ”
"I just saw it at Qujia'...... Haunted. ”
Liu Dahai was shocked: "You are really ...... Then when you see a haunted, you go and ask the ghost of Widow Qu, what are you doing at my house? ”
"I want to ask your mother something about the past." Ye Liang directly pushed Liu Dahai away and strode in.
"You ...... person" Liu Dahai muttered angrily, and then thought about it again, not bothering with beautiful women.
The house of Liujiatang was lit with a lantern, and the light of the oil lamp was not bright, and Mrs. Liu sat in the shadows, chanting words in her mouth, and listening carefully should be chanting scriptures.
"Liu Dahai, you have a laundry stick at home, have you seen it?" Xiao Wu suddenly asked.
Liu Dahai nodded: "There is such one, and then it was lost." ”
Mrs. Liu continued to chant the scriptures, as if she hadn't heard anything.
"Old lady, don't pretend, we just came out of the Qu family's courtyard, it's not a ghost, it's your shadow! That night fourteen years ago, lightning flashed and thundered, and your shadow was left on that wall. Because you have rarely gone out, the people who lived in the Qu family have never seen you, thinking that it is the ghost of the widow Qu. ”
Ye Liang deliberately stood in front of Old Lady Liu, leaned over and stared at her dry eyes and said, that look was blank, as if he was not interested in everything.
"You talk nonsense...... Eight ways what? ”
Liu Dahai was stunned when he saw Ye Liang's eyes, originally he had a vicious voice, but then his voice was as light as a mosquito humming.
"Liu Dahai, the scene must have been very bloody and terrible back then, you were just a teenager at that time, and you were terrified, so even if it was rumored that the Qu family was haunted all these years, you never went in to find out, right?" Ye Limit asked.
Liu Dahai said angrily: "It's not me who kills people, what should I go to see if Widow Qu is haunted?" Why should I watch it? ”
He stiffened his neck and yelled loudly, as if the louder the louder, the more justified it made.
"It's so loud, it's just a weak heart, because you know that your laundry stick is not there that night." Ye Liang snorted.
"!" Liu Dahai slapped the broken table in annoyance, and Mrs. Liu whispered: "Amitabha, Amitabha......"
"Liu Dahai, what are you murderous, if you see that shadow, you will understand, it is your mother's shadow, a thin woman with small feet, who raised her stick against Widow Qu on the bed on that stormy and thunderous night!"
Ye Limit sneered.
Liu Dahai was stunned: "No, it's impossible. ”
He said this, but in his heart he already believed that his laundry stick was indeed gone after that night, and his mother ...... His mother also began to believe in Buddhism after the death of Widow Qu, and she was also sluggish, and she knew how to recite Buddha every day.
"Actually, it was me who killed people, and it had nothing to do with my mother." Liu Dahai decided to admit it himself.
"You kill? It's your mother who left a shadow, I can't wronged a good person, and I can't let go of a bad person. Xiao Wu Yizheng spoke.
Zhao Nan looked at Mrs. Liu from the side, and suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his palm and pressed the Baihui acupoint on the top of her head.
Liu Dahai said angrily: "What are you doing? As he said that, he was about to rush over, but was stopped by Xiao Wu.
Old Lady Liu froze suddenly, her face like a black jujube pit showed a painful look, and then the corners of her mouth twitched, and her wrinkled face seemed to be made of flour, and was pulled and twisted a few times by a strange force. Only then did Zhao Nan let go of his hand and said, "Okay, her lost soul is back." ”
Lose? Soul? What does that mean?
But I saw Mrs. Liu suddenly stand up, her pointed little feet moved a few times, sat under the lantern, looked around and said: "I gave her a stick, but I didn't kill her, I didn't have so much strength, I heard that the head was beaten and I couldn't see the appearance, I didn't do it, I just hated, I went to look at the woman naked, lying on her back, I was annoyed, this shameless woman!" Hit her with a stick, she snorted, just in time for a flash of lightning, and seeing blood coming out of her head, I was terrified, threw down the stick and ran. ”
Mrs. Liu's lost soul returned, and she remembered everything that had happened back then.
"You said, you threw the laundry stick to Qu's house?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Yes, I didn't throw it on purpose, I was startled when I saw her face covered with blood, and the stick fell off by itself, so I ran home, scared to death, and after a while, Liu San came back."
