Chapter 33: A bad omen
After reading this text message, my face turned white on the spot. Lao Lu, they were still walking forward, but I stood there with my legs stiff. Pudding noticed that I hadn't followed, and turned around and yelled at me, "What's wrong?" ”
I heard the shouting, and then I came back to my senses.
I knew that I had to stay calm at this moment, even if the sky was falling, so I forced myself to squeeze out a smile and shouted to the pudding, "It's okay, it's okay, it's coming." ”
The dark graveyard was as far as the eye could see, and there were no dark red lanterns at all. Under the dark night of the wind and swish, only a few doves occasionally flew by, and let out a few creepy screams. I followed behind Han Benchu and the three of them, although on the surface I was not shocked, but in fact, my heart was trembling violently all the time.
One of the four of us was dead.
It's suffocating to think about.
But who is it?
I kept thinking as I followed the group. Is it Lao Lu? I shook my head, it was definitely not Lao Lu. Is it pudding? No, it can't be a pudding.
Don't......
Is it Han Benchu?!
Could it be that he lied to us from the beginning? Could it be that his story is all fake? Maybe there are no tailless puppies at all, and there is no Tianrenzhai at all, Granny Zhuang. Maybe these stories are true, but the ending is not as good as he said, I guess he Han Benchu actually died a long time ago, and finally became a ghost, which is the real ending of that story!
This guy is not alive at all!
Although I don't have any evidence, it's completely guessing, but what the hell does the hell the evidence in the stall where my fate hangs by a thread, I have to gamble! If the dead man mentioned by the black car driver is one of Lao Lu or Pudding, then Lao Tzu will admit it! It's okay for me to die at the hands of the two of them, but it's definitely not okay to die at the hands of you Han Benchu!
Thinking of this, I grabbed Lao Lu and Pudding's hands at the same time, pulled them back, and then roared fiercely: "Han Benchu, this guy is not a living person!" Let's run! ”
Lao Lu and Pudding exclaimed in unison: "What did you say?!" ”
Han Benchu was stunned by what I said, and stood there stunned for a full five seconds before he came back to his senses, his face turned pale, and his lips trembled and said: "Brother Mo, in this deserted cemetery in the middle of the night, can we be scary, what do you say?" You say I'm not alive? Did you take the wrong medicine? ”
I scolded, "I'll eat your mother's head!" ”
I took out my mobile phone, flipped through the text message, then handed the mobile phone to Lao Lu and Pudding, and said to the two of them in a low voice: "Look at it, this is what the black-headed car driver sent to me after he left just now, people have no grievances with us, it can't be a prank." It must have been something he found out that would take the risk to give me a reminder! I think about it, the person this black car driver is talking about, not who else can he Han Benchu be! ”
Lao Lu and Pudding looked at the text message, and their faces were not much better than when I first started. Both of them were big cold sweats falling down, their faces were as white as if they had been smeared with powder, they slowly raised their heads and looked at Han Benchu opposite in dismay. Han Benchu was stupid, he didn't know what was going on, he stood there with a confused look on his face, and then began to walk towards us, saying as he went, "Show me!" ”
Pudding yelled at him in horror, "Don't come here! ”
Pudding was almost crying, and she was holding my hand tightly, and I could clearly feel her whole body shaking violently. The fear we felt at that time is difficult to describe in words, because if you are not standing in that dark graveyard, it is difficult for you to appreciate the extreme fear that burrows into your heart.
Lao Lu, who was standing next to us, didn't speak, but stared at the text on my phone with a solemn expression over and over again. We've become a mess here, and it's basically time to move a knife and a gun if nothing else. At this time, Lao Lu played the quality that he should have as an old Jianghu, and he said coldly to the three of us: "Don't mess up." ”
It's a short sentence, but it's powerful.
The three of us suddenly fell silent, and looked at Lao Lu together, and then he said, "Han Benchu is obviously a human, not a ghost. ”
I asked Lao Lu: "Then what do you say about this text message?" Fake? ”
Lao Lu was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "I probably guessed why the driver sent this text message to you." Do you remember that he had a piece of "Jade Guanyin" hanging in his car? ”
I spread my hands and said, "How do I remember this, if you want to say that he hangs a *** post, then maybe I can still have a little impression." ”
Pudding took it and said, "I have a little impression that the Guanyin jade color is good, and it is safe." ”
Lao Lu said: "Then how to keep safe, do you know? ”
Pudding shook his head: "I don't know about this." ”
So, Lao Lu said slowly:
Friends who have a car know that many drivers like to tie a "Jade Guanyin" pendant on the rearview mirror of the car, and some will write four big characters on it: safe entry and exit. But most people think it's safe, and they know almost nothing about what it's really for.
In fact, in China, all walks of life have their own superstitions in their own fields. Thirty-six lines, different lines. For example, in ancient times, those who carried corpses and dug graves loved to worship the "Thirteen Whiskered Flower Porcelain Cats", those who dug coal and went down the well loved to worship the "Six Ancestors Spirit Mouse", and those who ran boats and goods loved to worship "Four Elephant Xuanwu", because Xuanwu is a turtle, which means "return".
In modern times, these superstitious things have gradually been eliminated, but there are still some parts of society that remain, just like the "Jade Guanyin" that drivers love to hang. In fact, many people don't understand that this thing is not to keep peace at all, but to ward off evil spirits. People who often drive outside, cold, will always encounter some lonely ghosts on the deserted roads. As long as the Jade Guanyin has a crack, it is equivalent to telling the owner that there is something unclean in the car, so be careful......
Although Lao Lu seemed to be closing his eyes and recuperating all the way, in fact, he observed all the changes around him more carefully than anyone else. As soon as we entered the area of the cemetery in the northern suburbs, Lao Lu observed a slight change in the car, that is, the "Jade Guanyin" hanging on the rearview mirror suddenly cracked!
Lao Lu guessed that the driver of the black car must have gone far away, and completely relaxed, only to find that his "Jade Guanyin" had a crack, so when he thought about it, he naturally contacted us with this bad omen.
There was a crack, indicating that only one of the four of us was a ghost. He judged that I was naturally not a ghost who could use WeChat, and if a ghost could use WeChat, wouldn't it be a joke? So out of kindness, he decisively reminded me to pay attention to the people around me, so there was the next farce between me and Han Benchu.
Lao Lu's meaning is very clear, if Jade Guanyin was so accurate, he would have been able to apply for a patent a long time ago. To put it bluntly, this thing is superstition and can never be trusted. Since that's the case, then I have to apologize to Han Benchu first. But then again, I have no evidence to prove who the ghost is, but Lao Lu's statement is just his speculation, and he has no evidence to prove.
Although this matter came to an end temporarily under Lao Lu's persuasion, it was obvious that several of us were clouded with a lingering haze in our hearts. Although the crack is the "Jade Guanyin", it is not the "trust" between us.
On this road to the unknown, is it really that simple to be who is a person and who is a ghost......
