Chapter 4: Stand-ins

Finally...... Arrived safely at the Sancha River service area.

Because the Sancha River service area is located in the middle of Zhijin and Guiyang, it is quite large.

When I saw the bright lights all around, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I've been nervous for so long, I can't hold my pee.

The first thing I did when I stopped the car was to go straight to the toilet, which was very big, with dozens of small toilets spaced out inside, and the lights were not as bright as outside.

She shouldn't go into the men's bathroom, right? Anyway, she is also a female ghost, I don't believe she doesn't want this face.

As soon as I entered the toilet, I saw an old man struggling to untie his trouser belt, anxious and swearing.

It seems that I can't hold it back!

It's just that this kind of thing, I can't help, and it's most important to solve my three emergencies first.

When I peed, I looked at my watch, eleven o'clock, at least five hours before dawn, and my heart was really thousands of grass and mud horses galloping by.

When he came out of the toilet, the old man was still struggling with his trouser belt.

I fumbled in my pocket, there was only a lighter, and after thinking for a while, I walked over, "Old man, if you can't untie it, burn it with a lighter, so as not to pee your pants." ”

The old man was overjoyed when he saw the lighter, "Thank you, young man!" ”

He took the lighter and lit the blue flame, quickly burned his trouser belt in two, and rushed to the toilet.

I didn't look too much, after all, there might be a female ghost waiting for me outside, so I washed my hands and walked out.

There's no way I'm going to get in the car before dawn, what if she's hiding in the back seat of me and I just sit in it and strangle me to death?

The place to eat in the service area became my best home.

I asked for a lamb meal, and I started eating it with a sigh.

It wasn't until the warm soup powder hit my stomach that I felt steady.

I don't know how many minutes later, a crumpled hand put the lighter in front of me, "Young man, your lighter, I forgot to return it to you just now!" ”

It turned out to be the old man who couldn't untie his trouser belt just now.

I looked up at him, and was about to say something, but I didn't expect him to shout out first: "Yo, isn't this the preserved egg of our store?" Why are you here at night? ”

"You are?"

"I'm Uncle Li at the end of the village, when you were a child, you often stole my peaches and cucumbers, and you beat me a lot, forgot?" The old man sat happily across from me.

I've been out for a few years, and some people really can't recognize it at a glance, and I have a little impression when I hear him say this, and said politely: "It turned out to be Uncle Li, the light was too dim in the toilet just now, I didn't recognize it all of a sudden, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what do you want to eat?" Order whatever, I'm in for a treat! ”

Uncle Li shook his head, "I've eaten it all, I'm full!" It's just that your kid is going home, why don't you hurry early? What are you going to eat here, do you know what day it is? ”

"You know, it's my birthday and Halloween! I was going to rush home, but I ran into a problem that made me run here to hide! ”

"What's going to stump your little egg?"

It's a long night, and you always have to pass the time. While eating mutton noodles, I told Uncle Li about my encounter with a ghost at night.

After hearing this, Uncle Li frowned, and said solemnly: "Go to the supermarket and ask for a blank piece of paper." ”

"Why?" I picked up the bowl and drank the soup.

"Maybe I can help you with this!"

As soon as I heard that Uncle Li could help me, I didn't have time to drink the last mouthful of soup, so I went to the supermarket to find the cashier's eldest sister to ask for an A4 paper and handed it to him.

Uncle Li went back to the car with me and told me to stay in the car and not move, fold the piece of paper from side to side, and tear it a few more times to become a villain.

He took out a red pen from his bosom, put it on the window of the car and wrote my birthday, then handed me the little paper figure and asked me to drop a drop of blood on it.

I was a little puzzled, "How do you know my birth date?" ”

Uncle Li laughed, "Your preserved egg was born with a pure yin life, who in our village doesn't know?" ”

Hearing him say this, I also dispelled my doubts, gritted my teeth and cut a small hole in my finger with a nail clipper, and dripped two drops of blood on the paper man's head.

Uncle Li took the paper figure and pasted it on the windshield directly opposite me, and climbed to the seat behind him to lie down and sleep: "Don't worry, when it comes to twelve o'clock, the paper man will be regarded as you, become your stand-in and be taken away by the ghost, and when she finds out, the ghost door will be closed!" ”

Are you sure? I was skeptical, and I couldn't ask him questions, so I could only keep looking back and forth between the watch and the paper figure.

It's twelve...... I stared intently at the paper figure in front of the windshield, afraid that a gust of wind would blow it away.

One second, two seconds...... The paper figure suddenly moved violently, and the sound of 'popping' came, as if countless hands were clapping on the windshield, and I raised my heart to my throat, and my whole body was nervous as if it was full of bows.

When he turned around and shouted Uncle Li, he didn't wake up a few times, only a deep snoring sound, as if he couldn't hear all this.

Suddenly, the paper figure floated into the air and turned black as fast as it could.

Then, with a 'hiss', the black paper figure instantly turned to ashes and drifted away in the wind.

The sound of banging on the windshield also gradually quieted down.

What's going on? On behalf of the female ghost, she left with the stand-in made by Uncle Li?

It was also the first time I had experienced something like this, and I was not sure, so I had to lean slightly out to look out of the windshield.

The air flow of breath blew on the windshield, gradually revealing countless transparent palms.

Not only did I sigh in my heart that I was lucky to meet Uncle Li, otherwise these palms would definitely be slapped on my face, and even if I had my life alive, I am afraid that I would not have the face to see anyone.

"Uncle, wake up!" I leaned out half of my body and reached out to shake Uncle Li.

Uncle Li rubbed his eyes and sat up in a daze, "Preserved eggs, what's the situation?" ”

"Uncle, the paper figure on the glass has turned to ashes and is gone!"

Uncle Li stretched his waist and laughed, "You kid is really lucky to meet me today, this matter will be solved tonight!" ”

Hearing him say this, I breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, uncle, when I return to the village, I will invite you to my house for a drink!" ”

Uncle Li said: "You don't need to drink, you can take me home before dawn!" ”

I must not have been able to sleep in this place after such a terrible experience, so I started the car without saying a word and rushed straight home.

But on the way to the car, I only felt that it was getting colder and colder, and the cold was comparable to the cold winter wax moon, and even if I turned on the heater and air conditioner, my hands were still shaking.

Of course, this is not to be afraid, or to simply feel cold, especially in the back!

Turning his head to look at Uncle Li, he fell asleep on the seat again, the gray-blue short sleeves lined his face very pale, as white as paper, probably cold! drove all the way home, and never encountered anything strange again, and the woman in red never appeared again.

When I walked to the entrance of the village, it was already three o'clock in the morning. The roadside of the village was covered with ashes of burning paper money, and occasionally a few sticks of incense that did not burn out.

Uncle Li pulled the car door and jumped out, "Preserved eggs, I'll get off here, you go home early to rest!" ”

"Uncle, why don't I send you to the door? Now the roads are all village-to-village, and it is very convenient to reach the end of the village. ”

Uncle Li waved his hand, "No, I want to move my muscles and bones after sitting in the car for a long time; Besides, I can walk here with my eyes closed, you don't have to worry about me, hurry up and go home, your parents must still be waiting for you! ”

We are both big men, so there are not so many kind words, so I kicked the accelerator and lifted the paper ash on the side of the road and drove home.

glanced in the rearview mirror, but didn't see Uncle Li, so he probably ran to a wild place under a hill.

When I returned home, my parents were still staying up all night waiting for me, and their hearts fell when they saw that I came back safely.

My mother brought out a bowl of steamed sweet potatoes from the pot, "My eyelids have been jumping from the afternoon to just now, I knew something was going to happen, but fortunately I came back safely!" ”

My dad complained a little, "Didn't you come back tomorrow morning?" Why are you still so disobedient? ”

My mother frowned, "I came back safely in the next life, it's useless to talk about it!" She picked one of the largest sweet potatoes and stuffed it into my mouth, "Hurry up and eat, eat and rest early!" ”

"Hmm!" I took a few big bites, thinking that I would tell them about Uncle Li's help tomorrow, and I was already exhausted after a night of tossing.
