Chapter 6: Crashing into a ghost before the grave
As soon as the door opened, the faint orange light was on in the bedroom, and Mu Xue was lying quietly on the wide bed under the quilt. The right hand was placed on the side of her face, and the light shone on her face to look very good, and her little face was flushed.
Seeing Mu Xue's face so good, I smiled with relief, and slowly walked towards Mu Xue, in the past few months, this matter is the only thing that makes me gratifying, when I left home to go back to Guangzhou to work, Mu Xue was still sickly, and now it has finally become normal, how can I be unhappy?
I walked to the edge of the bed in two steps, and slowly bent down, ready to put her hand under the covers, as the rain outside grew heavier and heavier, accompanied by the sound of thunder. The temperature at night is getting colder, and I am afraid that she will catch a cold if she sleeps like this.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, just when my hand just touched Mu Xue's hand, there was a sudden thunderous sound in the sky, which startled me a lot. At the same time, Mu Xue was also woken up by thunder.
She snapped open her eyes and screamed. I patted her forehead and smiled and said, "It's okay, sister, my brother is back." ”
Mu Xue gasped for breath and turned to look at me, and then her eyes widened and her mouth grew bigger and bigger. When her mouth grew no bigger, she screamed violently, and her voice was so sharp that it was like she had seen a ghost.
Looking at Mu Xue like this, I suddenly panicked, and I didn't know what to do. I hurriedly tried to hold her in my arms and give her a little more security. When Mu Xue was a child, my favorite was me, every time she cried, my mother called me to hug, and she stopped crying when I hugged her. Later, when she grew up and became sensible, I asked her why she liked me so much, and she said that it was because her brother's arms were very comfortable and safe.
Before I could pick up Mu Xue, my father came and turned on the headlights. Mu Xue kept yelling, screaming heartbreakingly.
My mother asked me loudly and anxiously what was going on, and I said that I should be scared by the thunder, and I should be fine if I hugged her. The movements in his hands did not stop, and he reached out and forcibly held Mu Xue in his arms. Mu Xue suddenly stopped screaming at the moment when I was taken into my arms. I was overjoyed, thinking that Mu Xue had eased up, but before I could be happy, I heard my mother say in the back: "Snow, snow, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you!" ”
I hurriedly put Mu Xueping on the bed, Mu Xue's face was very different from just now, not only the face, but also the expression, which made people look heartbroken, extremely heartbroken.
Mu Xue's face was as pale as a piece of white paper, her mouth kept foaming white, her eyelids rolled up, and she saw the whites of her eyes but not the black.
"Mom, what's going on? Didn't you say that Mu Xue's illness was cured? How did it suddenly become like this? I anxiously asked my mother, hoping that she would give me an explanation that would reassure me.
My mother also said anxiously: "I don't know, it's okay during the day, go and call Dr. Li to come and have a look." "Dr. Lee is the only barefoot doctor in our village. Nearly 60 years old, he has practiced medicine all his life, especially good at traditional Chinese medicine.
"What is it called Doctor Li, this must have been scared by the thunder just now, it may be that he was scared away, we should go to Master Wang to see... My dad voiced her guess.
Mom immediately retorted: "What kind of soul is running away, it has rained and thundered so many times before, and sometimes it is even more powerful than this, why haven't you been scared away?" ”
"That's scared away."
"Don't talk nonsense, can you think of a way?"
If it had been before, I would have thought that my dad was talking nonsense, but after what happened to Yu Man that night and what the two old men said to me, I suddenly felt that what my dad said made some sense.
"That's it, Dad, you go and call Dr. Li, and I'll call Master Wang and ask them to show Mu Xue. May I? I said a word, and my mother nodded and said, Quick, your mother is going quickly, I am here with Xue'er.
I turned around and ran outside, but my dad didn't dare to delay and rushed out of the bedroom after following my steps. Master Wang heard that he was a person who knew some yin and yang techniques, and of course many people called him an old god stick. Because he is always chattering, he often goes to other people's houses for no reason and says that your family is going to have a disaster, and you must not go out these days, and don't walk at night, or tell others that your dead father is having a bad time below, so you go to worship and burn more paper money.
Because of this, many people in the village don't want to talk to him, because there is nothing good about him when he speaks, and these things have been verified nine times out of ten, of course, there are a few people who believe in him, such as my father. But more people hated him. said that he had no conscience, and he liked to curse others at every turn, and some people directly pushed the disaster that happened later directly on his head, saying that he was a crow's mouth, a disaster star, a good and not a bad spirit.
He had a bad reputation in the village, and because he was poor, he made a living by tying wreaths and paper people, and the house was full of black and white wreaths and paper figures of all colors. It feels eerie to go in during the day, so no one wants to marry his daughter to him, which leads to him being a bachelor for decades.
In the past, many people persuaded him to work hard in farming, or go out to work, earn some money to build a new house, marry a wife and have children, or something. He laughed at it, and told others that he couldn't do anything in his life, he could only do this, and he was destined to eat the underworld for a lifetime. Those who persuaded him would basically leave with a curse after hearing the underworld meal, feeling that this person was hopeless. In the back, not many people want to deal with him.
The reason why my dad believed him was also a matter of the past two years, because he said to my dad when my mom had just given birth to Mu Xue: "In your family, there is a disaster, your son and a daughter are too fierce to stay together." If you insist on staying together, your little daughter won't survive her childhood! ”
At that time, my mother was still in confinement, and when she heard Master Wang say this, she became angry on the spot and drove Master Wang out with a broom. I was also very angry when I heard it, and kept scolding Master Wang for being immortal, crow's mouth, old god stick, and so on. My dad was also angry with his words at the time, but after so many years, it really seems that he was a little bit right by him.
Ignoring the umbrella, I ran frantically towards Master Wang's house, where he lived at the foot of a mountain a kilometer or two opposite my house, and he was the only one in that place. The house is basically surrounded by rice fields, there is no road, and all the people who go to his house are ridges.
It's not right, that piece of sunset, I heard the old man say that that piece is a good cemetery, so in addition to Master Wang's house, there are a few graves in Lala, and my grandmother is buried there.
The ridges were slippery during the rain, and I almost fell a few times. The night in the countryside is very dark, I can't see anything in the dark, I hold a flashlight wrapped in a transparent plastic bag, and walk quickly with a deep and shallow foot, my mind is full of Mu Xue's heart-wrenching look just now, and at the same time my concept is also changing, maybe it is really as Master Wang said, Mu Xue's eight-character punishment with me is too fierce, she became like this, it is I who harmed.
I have experienced too many strange things in the past two days, a little beyond my comprehension, and I suddenly feel that all the materialistic atheism that we usually teach in school is brainwashing, and many things that I have not encountered, and once I have encountered them, the knowledge in the classroom cannot be explained at all.
I don't know how long I ran, but I was soaked all over my body except for the flashlight in the transparent plastic bag. My eyes were a little hard to open due to the rain, and with my familiarity with that section of the road, I ran to Master Wang's house while wiping the rain from my eyes. When passing by my grandmother's grave, I stopped and shouted loudly with a flashlight on my grandmother's grave: "Grandma, please bless my sister, don't let her have anything to do?" Please. ”
There was no response, only the sound of the rain, which was non-stop. After shouting and playing, I felt a little happier in my heart, and was about to turn around and run towards Master Wang's house, but at the moment when I turned to leave, I seemed to see a person standing on my grandmother's grave, a hunchbacked old lady dressed in white, the same height and figure as when my grandmother was alive.
At that time, I was a little frightened, and I turned around and wanted to run, but my body became very stiff and I felt that it was very difficult to run.
"Morning, it's grandma, aren't you here to see grandma? How did you go? "A voice that I didn't sound familiar with came to my ears clearly, as if it wasn't raining, and spoke very slowly.
It was like my grandmother was telling me, but the sound was not like it, it seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had heard it.
This is not grandma, this is not grandma, I said to myself tremblingly, and looked at Master Wang's house more than ten meters away, the lights in the hall were still on, but the door was closed. I drove out of all my strength and shouted: "Master Wang, help, there are ghosts, Master Wang, Master Wang!" ”
"Morning, don't go, since you're here, kowtow to grandma a few times before leaving."
The damn sound came to my ears again, and I almost had a nervous breakdown, I wanted to run, but my body was surprisingly slow. It was as if there was a push pushing me towards my grandmother's grave.
I shouted loudly to Master Wang while running forward desperately. Just when I felt hopeless, the door of Master Wang's house opened, and Master Wang shouted at me: "You ghost, what are you doing running around in the middle of the night?" ”
After hearing him shouting and playing, I saw him running towards me with a flashlight, still holding a bamboo branch in his hand, waving it constantly as he ran, and at the same time cursing in his mouth: damn thing, go back, go back, go back, if you don't go back, I'll kill you.
As Master Wang got closer and closer, the thrust on my body seemed to get smaller and smaller, and it was not until he completely walked to my side that all the thrust on my body was removed.
(Good night!) )
