Chapter 4 I Am a Ghost Baby

Wen Bao took a sip of wine and said: "Although Ermaozi is a little older than us, after all, they also grew up together, and when I heard the news, I always felt weird in my heart!" ā€

"What's the matter if you can't say it in your heart? I always felt that something was wrong with Ermaozi's death. I said a little frightened.

"That's a matter of the police, come, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a good drink today!" Wen Bao picked up the beer bottle and blew it mouth to mouth.

"Come and stay at my house tonight, it's been a long time since the two of us had a good night-to-heart conversation." Wenbao said drunkly.

Wenbao's home is a three-room adobe house with a small yard enclosed by a wall that is not too high.

Wen Bao and his father lived on the east side, and as for the west side, it was the forbidden place of Wen Bao's family.

When we were younger, no matter how much we tried to figure it out, we never went into that room.

There wasn't even a window in that room, but the crooked crack could tell that the window must have been artificially blocked.

When we were young, no matter how naughty we were, Wenbao's father would never scold us, but the only thing was that we absolutely couldn't touch that room.

The door of the room was tightly locked with a big lock all the year round, and we who were curious wanted to go in several times to see what was going on, but we couldn't open the big lock.

We drank until it was dark, and the two of us returned to Wenbao's house drunk, which was still the same as before, with messy grass foam flying in the yard.

I peeked at the west wing, and there was still a general's lock on the door.

The relationship between our family and Uncle Yan's family is very delicate, and Uncle Yan always looks like he likes me very much, and welcomes me and Wenbao as friends.

But that's not the case with my family.

Don't look at it as neighbors, grandpa and dad basically don't interact with Uncle Yan, even if they meet by chance on the road, they also pretend to ignore each other.

Although I don't know what the reason is, we don't bother to care about the affairs of the adults, and we won't delay me and Wenbao to be good friends anyway.

Due to the effect of alcohol, the two of us quickly fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long I slept, but I suddenly felt so cold, and I got goosebumps all over my body!

I closed my eyes and tried to pull the quilt to cover it, but the quilt didn't reach it, but I felt that I was pulling a thin and cold hand.

"Dog's paws, it's so cool!" I muttered.

"Can a dead man's hand not be cold?" A voice replied clearly.

I was startled, and suddenly sat up, and I saw Ermaozi smiling and floating in front of me.

"Oh my god! Hell! I screamed out in a lost voice, stretched out my feet and carried Wenbao next to me, but Wenbao slept like a dead pig, and didn't react at all.

I saw that it was not good, so I hurriedly waved my hand at Ermaozi and said, "Ermaozi, your death has nothing to do with me, don't come to me." ā€

Ermaozi rolled his eyes that were full of white eyes, still grinning, and his dislocated chin drooped, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

"It has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with your family." Ermaozi said as he leaned closer to me.

The collapsed white face was almost on my face, and I was so frightened that I closed my eyes tightly, trembling all over, and almost peed my pants!

There was a burst of "Bang Bang Bang!" There was a knock on the door, and Xiaoxiao's hurried shouts came from outside the door.

I dare say this knock is the most wonderful sound I've ever heard in my life!

I closed my eyes and shouted, "Xiaoxiao, hurry up and save me!" Help..."

The door was "banged! I guessed that Xiaoxiao should have broken in.

I'm still with my eyes closed, waving my hands wildly and shouting for help...

"Xiaoxiao is here! Could this guy be having a nightmare, or is he sleepwalking? Wen Bao's muffled voice came from his ears.

"Brother Chengzu, wake up, grandpa asked me to call you back!" Xiaoxiao ran over and held my wildly waving hands and shouted anxiously.

I opened my eyes and saw that there was still the ghost shadow of Ermaozi, only Wenbao and Xiaoxiao were looking at me helplessly!

Before I could speak, Xiaoxiao picked me up and ran home.

When I got home, my grandfather and father were waiting for me in the side room with serious faces!

Xiaoxiao walked out with interest and gently closed the door.

"Chengzu, the body of that Ermaozi is gone, and your father and I haven't found it no matter how much we look for it." Grandpa spoke.

"Don't mention it, I saw him just now! If Xiaoxiao hadn't come to me, I'd have been scared to death by him. "When I mentioned what happened just now, I was still terrified.

"What?" Grandpa stepped forward and grabbed my hand, frowning, his fingers clasping my wrist tightly, tracing my pulse.

After a while, Grandpa let go of me, glanced at Dad, and shook his head.

At this time, Dad said: "Chengzu, we all know that you don't understand some things at home. ā€

"But there's one thing you have to believe, and that's that we love you! I've been protecting you with my life, and now that you've grown up, we'll tell you something slowly. ā€

"Didn't you always want to know why Dad called you back this time? Because you're going to face a catastrophe, a catastrophe that is vital to your survival! ā€

"You are the only son of our family, and all the hope of our family! So you should know how important your survival is to our family. ā€

"I—" I pointed at myself in surprise, I really didn't understand what Dad was trying to say.

Dad said with an unusually serious expression: "When you should know something, I will naturally tell you." ā€

"Now you go to see your mother immediately, you remember, when you see your mother later, no matter what she has become, or what she has given you, or what she has said, you must remember it with your heart."

"Because this is about your life and death, and about the inheritance of our Bai family, remember! Remember! Dad told me again and again.

"No, the body of the Ermaozi you just said was not found, it can't be that he wants to harm me, right?" I asked, confused.

"Your father and I will deal with this, as long as you don't leave our house, he won't hurt you." Grandpa said, "Go ahead! Remember what your dad said. ā€

When I came to my mother's dark room, I didn't find my mother on the bed.

"Mom, are you going to rest?" I asked softly, I knew my mother must be back in the coffin.

No one answered, and the room was so dead silent that even my own breathing could be heard.

"Mom. Are you asleep? Dad said let me come to you. I said in a loud voice.

"Boom!" The sound sounded, and I saw the coffin on the ground trembling uncontrollably, as if someone was constantly pushing for death...

"Mom!" I looked at the coffin swinging from side to side in horror, and shouted again.

No one answered, but the coffin swayed even more, like an ant on a hot pot, untenable!

"Daddy!" I was scared and ran to the door screaming.

But I found that the door was blocked from the outside, and I couldn't get out!

A cluster of blue ghost fire floated out of the trembling coffin, circling and circling around me...

"Ahh I kept screaming and ran to the coffin, shouting for my mom to help!

However, by the glimmer of the ghostly fire, I found that there was a shadow of my mother in the coffin, it was empty!

"Mom!" I looked around in a panic to find my mother.

"Don't look for it, mom is here!" Mom's voice suddenly sounded, and I realized that the voice was actually coming from the ghost fire.

"You... Did you eat my mom? I suddenly didn't know where I got the courage, the blood on my body was boiling, and I reached out and grabbed at the ghost fire.

"Give my mom back!" I cried and screamed as I violently slammed into the ghost fire in front of me.

"Chengzu, don't fight, mom is a ghost, this ghost fire is mom!"

Hearing this, I couldn't believe my ears, and I felt my knees go limp, and I fell to my knees.

"Chengzu, you heard my mother say that my mother's name is Ghost Niang, and she is a real female ghost." The ghostly fire said.

"This time you know why my mother can't go out to see the day, can't go out of the house! Because once you get out of the house and see the yang energy, the mother will immediately annihilate the ashes and dissipate forever. ā€

"You must be wondering why your father would marry a female ghost as his wife? It's hard to accept that you're a child born of a female ghost for a while. ā€

"Slowly you will understand, this is the fate of our family, not only your father, but your ancestors must marry female ghosts for generations, this is the unchanging iron law of the Bai family!"

"You are no exception, so today my mother is going to hand over your ghost wife to you, I hope you can treat her well."

"No!" I finally woke up and stood up and shouted, "You're not my mother, you're a liar!" ā€

I ran to the door again, pounding on it and shouting, "Let me out!" I don't want a ghost wife, I just want Xiaoxiao. ā€

"Listen, it's your fate! If you don't marry a ghost wife, you won't be alive, and this family of ours will not be able to continue. ā€

"What continuation?" I shouted loudly, "Like my father, open a coffin shop?" Live like a human being and a ghost? ā€

"You know what?" Mom scolded: "This is a mission, a mission that must be completed!" This is not up to you, you have to know that you are a ghost baby. ā€

"A ghost baby born to a real female ghost, one foot in the yang world, and one foot in the ghost gate."

"So you have to marry a ghost wife, and you have to keep our family's bloodline pure!"
