Chapter 6: Figures in the Night
It was pitch black outside the window, there was not half a figure, and I even looked out twice, but I still didn't see anything.
Strange, how could there be no one, I obviously heard the voice.
Ever since I helped Zhang Kui deliver the coffin last night, I feel like I'm getting a little nervous, and I hear strange sounds at every turn.
However, what happened last night, Lao Li Tou died of an inexplicable illness, and I didn't dare to be careless, so I took a closer look.
I didn't see a human figure, but I saw something on the ground that made my scalp tingle.
A blue embroidered shoe.
Fuck, how could Xiujuan's embroidered shoes be here, and before I could deal with the embroidered shoe on my left foot, another one appeared.
A chill came to my heart again, and I couldn't help but tremble, could it be that it was Xiujuan who knocked on the window just now, and it was she who left her embroidered shoes here.
It's so weird, I thought it was over, but I didn't expect her to come to the door again, what did she want to do?
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Just when I was confused, the chickens in my yard began to scream, and the sound was very messy, as if something had broken into the chicken coop.
It's broken, something is wrong.
I put on my slippers, picked up my flashlight and ran out, and when I went out, my dad woke up and asked me what was wrong and how the chickens were crowing at home.
I said I don't know, so let's go to the chicken coop and have a look.
Our father and son rushed to the chicken coop in three or two steps, and the roosters and hens raised by the family were jumping everywhere, and there seemed to be a dark shadow inside.
I hurriedly turned on the flashlight and shone it, and when I saw the dark shadow clearly, the whole person gasped.
Not only was I shocked, but even my dad was shocked and couldn't speak.
"Xiaofei, isn't that Zhang Kui's wife Xiujuan?"
My dad was right, the one huddled in the chicken coop was Xiujuan, wearing the cloth clothes when she was buried, barefoot, with a cape, a hideous face, grabbing the neck of the chicken with her right hand, and tearing off the head of the chicken with her left hand, swallowing the chicken blood in a big gulp.
What is called Ru Mao drinking blood, I finally saw it today.
Xiujuan's face was full of chicken blood, but she seemed to enjoy it and didn't care about the eyes of our father and son.
"Dad, it seems to be Xiujuan."
"Isn't she dead, I saw Zhang Kui cover the coffin with my own eyes, why did she come to our house to steal chickens again, come on, you go and call Zhang Kui."
My dad picked up the stick on the side and guarded it outside the chicken coop, I gave a thanks, and ran to Zhang Kui's house without looking back.
It is said that there is a wrongdoer, and there is a debtor, Xiujuan doesn't go to Zhang Kui to settle accounts, what are you doing in our house, but she is always Zhang Kui's wife, just find Zhang Kui.
I ran all the way, and what was supposed to be a ten-minute journey was completed in five minutes.
Knock, knock, knock.
I didn't care what time it was, I knocked desperately, and soon the door opened.
Zhang Kui was wearing pajamas, with a dissatisfied expression, and said impatiently: "Chen Fei, what's the matter with you kid, you came to knock on the door in the middle of the night, but I didn't give you a penny." ”
"Brother Kui, it's not about money, something happened, Sister Xiujuan, Sister Xiujuan is really back, it's in my chicken coop, she, she's still ......"
Zhang Kui was stunned for a moment, then his face was happy, and he pressed my shoulder and said, "I'm really back, go, take me to see it!" ”
Zhang Kui was quite refreshing, and ran with me without saying a word, and the two of us ran wildly all the way, and returned to my yard in a few minutes.
I went out for a while, but the yard suddenly became quiet, and my dad stood alone in front of the chicken coop, and the stick in his hand also fell to the ground, but Xiujuan in the chicken coop was gone.
"Dad, where is Sister Xiujuan, where did you go?" I walked quickly to my dad, but was taken aback by the look on his face.
His eyes were dull, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, especially his left hand, which made an orchid finger-like movement.
Something happened, my dad must have had an accident.
Zhang Kui looked around the chicken coop with an anxious expression, and he asked me if I had seen Xiujuan, why didn't I even have a shadow.
My dad is like this, how can I care about Xiujuan's affairs.
My mom gave birth to me and died, and my grandparents also passed away a few years ago, so my dad and I are dependent on each other, and he must not have an accident.
I patted it lightly twice, and my dad finally reacted.
However, his reaction was very strange, twisting left and right, and humming an extremely strange tune in his mouth.
"Little... Yan... Sub, wear... Flower... Clothes, every year... Spring... Come here! ”
It's a very common nursery rhyme, but the tone that comes out of my dad's mouth is very weird, and his voice is very low, and he sings the cheerful children's song with an eerie feeling.
"Dad, Dad, wake up, what's going on." I shook my dad's body desperately.
But no matter how much I shook, my dad just sang to himself, as if I didn't exist at all.
"Don't shout, Chen Fei, did you see Xiujuan drinking chicken blood in your chicken coop, will you look away?"
"The chicken with the severed head is still on the ground, how could I be wrong."
Zhang Kui glanced at the chicken nest, his face was full of solemnity, he gave me a very strange feeling, and he didn't seem to be surprised at all about Xiujuan's resurrection.
At this time, I also didn't know a little, could it be that Xiujuan really didn't die, but just had a strange illness, and Zhang Kui mistakenly thought she was dead.
"Brother Kui, what is the situation with Sister Xiujuan, is she a human or a ghost?"
"Don't ask so much, anyway, if you see Xiujuan again, call me as soon as possible, I'll go back first."
Zhang Kui has no humanity at all, my dad is like this, he didn't even care and said to leave, he didn't mean to help at all, I had to help my dad back to the back room alone.
Fortunately, after entering the house, my father's state has stabilized a lot, but he doesn't sing anymore, he just looks at me with strange eyes, and the corners of his mouth always maintain a weird smile.
I put my dad on the bedside and wiped his sweat, and after a while, he made a slight snoring sound.
I was relieved and hoped that this situation was only temporary and that he would be back to normal tomorrow morning.
I didn't dare to leave in the second half of the night, so I simply moved a chair and guarded my father's bedside, probably because I was too tired, and I fell asleep on the head of the bed after a while.
In a daze, I felt as if someone was filming me.
The man slapped me lightly on the chest, humming familiar lyrics, but his voice was a little low and the tone sounded extremely strange.
"Little... Yan... Sub, wear... Flower... Clothes, every year... Spring... Come here! ”
"I asked... Swallow, why are you here! ”
"The swallow said... Spring here... The most beautiful! ”
It was my dad's voice, and he was singing again, and I shuddered and opened my eyes suddenly.
It was already dawn outside, but my dad's condition was still not improving, and he looked at me like a child with a strange smile on his face.
My dad and I switched places, he sat in a chair while I lay on his bed, and to my horror, I had full embroidered shoes on my feet.
Looking at the embroidered shoes on my feet, I felt a chill all over my body, even in broad daylight, I couldn't control my emotions, let out a scream, and threw the embroidered shoes into the corner in a panic.
My dad didn't react much, he was still singing gloomily, no matter what I said, he didn't react, and he looked extremely evil.
It must be Xiuhua's ghost, she must have done something to my dad, otherwise my dad wouldn't have become the ghost he is now.
I have to go to Grandpa Yu, he is the former village chief, it is said that he was a feng shui master in his early years, and he was responsible for the burial and tomb selection of the villagers.
Xiujuan's tomb was personally chosen by Grandpa Yu, I remember he said that Xiujuan was not from this village, died young, and the eight-character recoil, it is not suitable to be buried in the village collective tomb, so he specially chose a separate tomb for her in the west.
However, Zhang Kui didn't listen to his grandfather, but asked me to send the coffin to the funeral home in the middle of the night, which made so many evil things.
It just so happened that I also wanted to talk to Grandpa Yu about Xiujuan, I always felt that things were not so simple, but I didn't know where to start.
I was afraid that my dad would run away, so I locked the door of the house, but as soon as I went out, I saw Grandpa Yu hurrying to the east.
