When Sha Lan was born, the second child took Chen Ting to live in the house left by Fugui and his wife to their youngest son. The house was thatched, with exposed stone foundations, and a dilapidated picture everywhere.

I lived there for several years, but I was fine.

One day, at noon, it was a cloudy day, and a strong wind suddenly blew outside the house, and when it roared wildly, the branches of the trees snapped and fell. The wires creaked and squeaked in the wind, like many evil spirits were howling.

Southerners have hardly ever seen such gales.

The neighbors all ran out to see the situation, and the outside suddenly became lively.

The second child and Chen Ting also ran out to join in the fun, because it was really windy, Sha Lan was placed by Chen Ting on the large wooden cabinet that the second child usually uses as a writing desk.

"Sit down obediently, don't climb to the side, be careful of falling." Chen Ting hurriedly said this sentence and chased the second child out. I didn't hear Sha Lan obediently agree.

At the beginning, Sha Lan'an sat quietly in the middle of the cabinet, not daring to look to the side at all, remembering Chen Ting's words in his heart, and did not move.

After a while, the wind was still raging outside, and it was roaring wildly, but when I listened closely, I heard another sound mixed with the wind that was a little chilling to the spine, which seemed to be familiar and somewhat different.

"Whew...... Whew...... Whew...... Whew......"

The feeling of panic flooded in indescribably.

Slowly, swoop...... Whew...... The sound of the ground was getting louder and closer, almost drowning out the wind outside. In the end, it sounded in Shalan's ears.

The voice also ...... Whew...... Gradually, it became a sound that seemed to be a person's muttering.

The fear in Sha Lan's heart grew bigger and bigger, as if it was about to annihilate her.

Suddenly, someone seemed to sigh softly in Shalan's ear, and the voice sounded solidly, but it seemed to dissipate into the air again without noticing.

Outside the house, the wind was still roaring, but the accompanying swishing sound disappeared, and a man's clear voice sounded in Sha Lan's ears, this time Sha Lan heard it clearly, what he said was:

"This house is going to collapse, let's go......"

After saying that, it seemed that something had disappeared, the wind was still blowing, the swishing sound was gone, and the man's voice was gone. It's like nothing happened.

The young Sha Lan sat on the cabinet with a curled facet for a long time before she started crying:

"Take me out, the house is going to collapse...... The house is going to collapse. The voice roared as if it was about to break his throat, and finally struggled out of the wind to find a glimmer of life, which was heard by Chen Ting and the second child.

In fact, when the man was there, Sha Lan was not afraid. It was a strange feeling of believing, believing that this man who could not see but who told her in his ear that he was dangerous was a good person, or rather a good ghost. However, when the man's voice disappeared, Sha Lan defaulted to him leaving.

Fear spreads from the depths of the heart, like the coming tide of the sea, washing the shores of reason in waves.

Chen Ting rushed in first and hugged Sha Lan in her arms, and when the second child came later, Sha Lan was still crying and wanted to go out.

If it were someone else's family, most of them would not take their children's words to heart, but the second child was born with Mr. Fugui Xuedao. He always had an indescribable trust in things like that.

Fugui once said that there is a phenomenon called "ghost opening" between heaven and earth, which means that people who have said that the deceased tell some secrets of heaven and earth through the mouth of a living person, or what will happen.

There is also a theory that if a person has a spirit, he will be taken care of by the spirits and ghosts of the Spirits, and when they talk about the heavens, they deliberately let that person hear it, so that he can predict the future and lead people to good fortune and avoid evil.

The second child felt that Sha Lan might be the former, after all, the latter was too mysterious, even if he had studied the Tao for many years and was full of enthusiasm, he had never encountered any news about the Spirit Realm.

The hearts of those present at that time were shocked.

The second child knows this, but others don't know, the countryside has always believed in Guanyin, but I think that such a young child said these words, maybe the Bodhisattva appeared to save his life.

There is no doubt about him.

The second child immediately asked someone to move out the important things in the house and waited for the house to collapse. But everyone stayed outside for a long time, and the house did not collapse, so they moved their things back.

Everyone kindly didn't take this thing as a joke, but the second child was silent.

He and Chen Ting moved out of the house as soon as they got married, and the house they live in now is the younger brother's. In the past few years, the second child has been messing around all day long, and he has also thrown all the trivial things at home to Chen Ting, and he has achieved nothing all day long.

The second child has never been pleasing to his parents, and the mother who loved Shalan has also passed away, and the aunt definitely doesn't want her family to go back. Besides, there are a few brothers in my aunt and father, and there are so many people that they can't squeeze in. And Chen Ting's parents can't be relied on, they originally felt that their son-in-law was unproductive, and they didn't want to see Chen Ting. There is no need to talk about friends and brothers' families, if nothing else, it is impossible to talk about the daughter-in-law in their family, and besides, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs......

From that day on, the second child began to converge, and he no longer spent money indiscriminately.

Until the second child negotiated with the Mu family below, he bought the Mu family's big tiled house and moved in.

On the night the family moved over, dark clouds pressed down on the treetops, and there was a faint thunderclap, and the old house collapsed.

That night, there was an uproar among those present.

No one knew that that night, a clear male voice lingered in Sha Lan's ears,

"I saved your life, and you will remember to pay me back in the future." The voice was accompanied by a swishing sound, and it sounded in a thunderclap.

Knowing that Sha Lan's prophecy came true, Fugui remembered that when he was introduced, the master told him that only people with a strong sixth sense talent could establish a connection with the Spiritual Domain, thinking that he had studied for many years, but he had never been able to find the entry point of the Spiritual Domain, and Fugui's heart could not calm down.

He was almost certain that Sha Lan had received a warning from the Spirits. She may have a strong sixth sense, and she was born to be a messenger who connects the supernatural realm with the human world.

But why should she?

On this night, Fugui didn't sleep all night, and the sorrow caused by jealousy had reached a state where he could no longer be miserable.

A few more years passed.

One hot summer, the orange sun floated faintly in the air.

The news of the small place is always very well-informed, I heard that there is a relative in the city from the house of Aunt Yang next door, who is a very beautiful sister.

Sha Lan was very curious, ran over and glanced at her from a distance, only to see that she was in the crowd, her eyes were rolling slightly, her spirit was flying, and there was a faint brilliance.

Seeing everyone surrounding the sister, Sha Lan could only watch from a distance, she began to feel lonely, like a lonely goose out of the team, full of enthusiasm, like molten iron out of the oven, began to cool down little by little.

When I got home, I couldn't see a single green grass in front of the stairs, I couldn't see a butterfly outside the window, and my mother was preparing to pour candles in the house.

Sha Lan rummaged through the cabinets to find her father's little flower book, turned it page by page, and saw that the book drew a man sitting in an old house flipping through the book, and a beautiful woman leaning down to read the book in the man's hand.

After a while, the book was finished, Sha Lan ran into the house, and saw Chen Ting burning a large iron pot to dissolve paraffin, a large iron pot on the coal fire, and some paraffin in the pot was dissolved from the candle head. The paraffin wax spilled along the edge of the pot, and at the end of the line hung a round bead, like the earrings worn by a beautiful woman in a small flower book.

Before Sha Lan could get closer, she shouted, "Mom." ”

When Chen Ting heard Sha Lan's voice, her hands suddenly shook, as if her breathing had increased a little, and her blood ran slightly faster. She turned her head, tried her best to flatten her tone and said to Sha Lan, "Go outside to play, don't come here, be careful of getting hot." ”

After a pause, he continued, "You go outside to play first, I'm busy now, I'll call you when I'm ready to eat,"

Sha Lan snorted and said sullenly, "Then I'll go to my grandmother's house to play." ”

"Good, good."

Sha Lan turned to the door. Walking down the street, about thirty or forty meters, there is a steep slope five or six meters long, on the left is a house, on the right there is a broken house, red brick wall;

In the early years, it was a landlord's house, and now only a young man lives in it; But some people say that the young man was mentally abnormal, because he was unkempt and ragged all day, and his speech was incomprehensible. So no one has anything to do with him, and no one knows his specific name, everyone only calls him Xiao Miaomiao. "Miao" means discrimination in the hearts of the Crow people.

Below, there is a large courtyard with a large house foundation in the middle, and the first room facing the middle of the house is the hall house, and in the middle of the hall house is the Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva has a thick red hijab on his head. In the room at the back of the hall lived the great-grandparents, on the right was the grandfather's family, and on the left was the grandfather's house. The door of the hall is often not closed, Sha Lan raised his feet and walked into the hall, first looked at the statue of Guanyin, and then turned to the left side of the small door closed, patted twice and no one responded, Sha Lan then kicked the door, still did not respond, but the door behind the hall creaked open, and an old woman with a bent back poked her head out of the house.
