Chapter 6: The Mahogany Box

Escape!

That's the first word that comes to mind.

As soon as she ran to the threshold, she was stopped by Aunt Li, and her expression became solemn, "Did you see my old man and daughter last night?" ”

If it were someone else, I would have pushed her away and left.

But at this moment, I dare not be disrespectful to her, let alone offend her.

Not for anything else, just for Uncle Li and the woman in the photo on the wall.

That woman is the female ghost I met last night!!

That is, Uncle Li's daughter Li Dieer!

An old man and a daughter, how can the two ghosts pinch each other? How could Uncle Li help me deal with his daughter, there must be a conspiracy in this.

I nodded vigorously, "I've seen it, one followed me for the first half of the night, and the other followed me for the second half of the night!" ”

Aunt Li looked at the photo on the altar, "I know that their father and daughter are not worry-free!" ”

I grabbed Aunt Li's arm as if I had grasped a life-saving straw, half-squatting, "Aunt Li, I have no grudges with your family in the past, and I stole some cucumbers from your family when I was a child, you tell my uncle and sister-in-law, spare my life, don't harm me!" ”

Since Yang Xiaoliu's sudden death, I have a deeper understanding of the words 'life is precious'.

It doesn't matter if you were a beggar sleeping on the street or a rich man, once your life is gone, it is really gone.

Aunt Li let out a long sigh and said, "I won't tell you, my family Die'er died miserably, and it must be a good thing for their father and daughter to find you!" ”

What good can be done by being haunted by ghosts.

I feel very aggrieved, I just want to go back to my little willow to burn Qiqi, how did I bump into two ghosts, or the father-daughter version, "Aunt Li, you have to persuade the two of them, I will definitely come to see you more in the future and honor you!" ”

Aunt Li raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and her wrinkled hand gently patted the back of my hand a few times, "Good boy, Auntie asks you, do you think our butterflies are good-looking?" ”

My eyes unconsciously looked towards the altar.

Needless to say, Li Die'er was a flower butterfly loved by everyone in the village, and when she was in high school, the young man from the next village in the next village was already salivating over her. Every spring, when planting artichoke bud grain, I saw that her family's soil was full of people.

Those young men all went for her beauty, and they had enough strength to please her whole family.

It's a pity that such a good-looking girl died like this and became a beautiful and scary ghost.

I nodded, "Looks good!" ”

It can't seem to be said that it is not good-looking, but it is really good-looking!

Aunt Li lowered her eyelids, "Our butterfly died in red, which is what ordinary people call a red-clothed ghost, she didn't attack you last night, I'm afraid she will go to you tonight!" ”

"Why me?" When I heard that she would come to me tonight, my heart seemed to fall into ice water, and my mind was like a bucket of paste, and I didn't know what to do.

Aunt Li patted the back of my hand lightly again, "Everyone knows that you are a pure yin life, born with yin evil, who do ghosts don't look for you?" ”

At this time, I can't help but curse that damn Zhang Lao Er again, you say that I am pure yin life, is it necessary to make the whole world know?

Now it's okay, Lao Tzu is not only a pure yin life, I'm afraid he will become a pure yin person.

Aunt Li's words made my heart sink straight down, and my hands and feet became numb, "his uncle's pure yin life!" It's not a good thing to mention these three words! ”

Aunt Li slowly walked in from outside the threshold, rummaged through a dilapidated looking wardrobe, and rummaged back and forth several times, and finally turned out a brand new mahogany box.

Her legs didn't seem to be able to support her body, and she kept staggering in front of me, "Child, my family has suffered a misfortune, Die'er has become a ghost and haunted you, it's really impatient, this is Die'er's favorite thing in life, you take this mahogany box back, and you will sleep with it tonight." If Butterfly comes to you and smells something of its own, it shouldn't do it to yourself, but you have to remember that before dawn, you must not open it. ”

And this kind of operation?

Although I haven't been exposed to any Taoist metaphysics, I've seen a lot of ghost movies, and I've only seen zombies use smell to distinguish living things, as for ghosts...... It's the first time I've heard of it.

But after thinking about it, Aunt Li has no reason to harm me! I just promised to honor her.

If she wants to harm me, it's enough to let her ghost daughter come out, and if she doesn't work, Uncle Li will be suffocated by urine, why bother so much?

Since zombies distinguish living things by smell, maybe ghosts are too, after all, you can't trust everything on TV!

For the time being, a dead horse should be used as a live horse doctor, and I can't find any other way anyway.

Taking the mahogany box in Aunt Li's hand, I hurriedly said, "Can it work?" ”

Aunt Li said: "If you have any other way, you don't have to listen to what my old woman said, I didn't do this for you, I didn't want to add more injustice to my poor daughter!" ”

I said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, auntie, I don't doubt you, it's just the first time I've encountered such a thing, and I don't know the bottom of my heart!" ”

Aunt Li turned around and walked to the altar, took out three sticks of incense and prepared to light it.

I involuntarily followed her gaze, and finally stopped at Li Die'er's photo.

Suddenly, her eyes moved!

"Ahh I screamed in fright!

Aunt Li put down the three incense sticks that were still lit in her hand, "What's the matter?" ”

"Auntie, it's not early, I'm going back first!" As I said that, I was going to go out.

"Wait!" Aunt Li suddenly became nervous, walked over to my ear and said: "Don't forget, the mahogany box can't be opened before dawn, if you feel something wrong tonight, don't open your eyes, don't make a sound, just hold the mahogany box!" ”

"Uh-huh, got it!" I nodded my head again and again, and ran out of the yard without daring to lift my eyes.

When I ran out of the courtyard gate, I looked back at Aunt Li who was standing by the door, she smiled and waved at me, eerie, and smiled weirdly.

When I returned, the old women were all scattered, and they walked back to my house from the end of the village, but they didn't see a single figure.

After dinner in the evening, I didn't even wash my feet, ran back to the house, took care of the doors and windows tightly, turned on the lights, and got into the bed with the mahogany box in my arms.

According to Aunt Li, I had to sleep with the mahogany box in my arms for a night, and I couldn't open it until dawn.

Although it was Li Dieer's favorite thing in her life, I always felt that there was something wrong with this operation.

"Afterlife...... my mother's voice sounded outside the door, "you went to bed so early, isn't there anything uncomfortable?" ”

"I didn't ...... No, I'm just tired, I want to rest early, and I'll go back to Guiyang tomorrow! ”

As soon as the words ended, my mother had already opened the door and walked in with the key from nowhere, and I hurriedly covered up the mahogany box.

My mom touched my forehead, "I don't have a fever, but my face is a little pale!" Don't make any noise with you, play less with your phone, and rest early! ”

With that, she went out and closed the door, and turned off the lights by the way.

The room was dark in an instant, and there was not a single light to be seen.

My dear mother, every time you are a god assist!

There was no light, and the mahogany box in my arms became my only sense of security, and I held it in my arms, and I didn't let go of my chest even if it hurt for half a minute.

The clock at the bedside kept moving, and the bell had just been announced at twelve o'clock.

Aunt Li said that she couldn't open her eyes, she couldn't see anything when she opened them anyway, and she was scared of being empty, so I closed my eyes even if I couldn't sleep.

The "squeak......" wooden window seems to be opened.

"Giggles...... "Scalp-numbing laughter" came from the window, near and far.

I was wrapped in the quilt, sweating from the heat, but now I felt colder and colder.

The whole room was filled with an eerie atmosphere!

I was so frightened that my heart hung in my throat, and I tried my best to whisper saliva, and I kept comforting myself in my heart: it's okay, it's okay, she can't see me, she can't smell me, she can't touch me!

Damn, I feel like I'm about to cry with fear as a big man......
