The paper of the paper man was cheaper, the paper was quite hard, rubbing against my skin, and a strange feeling immediately rose in my heart, and I took a deep breath and walked out of the room.

Mom and Dad stood on either side of the doorway, their faces full of worry.

The uncle, dressed in black, almost blended in with the night outside, when he came over and stuffed something into my hand, and I looked down and saw that it was paper money.

"Take it, you'll need it on the road."

I didn't care so much, took the paper money, carried the paper man out of the yard in one go, and moved slowly along the overgrown path.

Uncle followed me from a distance.

When I was in the village, I was a little better, there were people living in the village, and I was not so afraid, but as soon as I ran out of the village and got on the old road leading to the locust forest, all kinds of fears invaded my heart.

My legs and stomach began to tremble again, but I didn't dare to stop, and ran all the way in the direction of the locust forest, thinking that it would be okay to recruit the female ghost back.

The old road was overgrown with weeds, bumpy and muddy, and no one had left for a long time, and I stumbled all the way, almost falling several times.

I dragged the paper figure with both hands, her head resting on my shoulder, and with each step I took, the paper figure shook and her chin hit my shoulder, making a soft "click" sound, and the feeling was very pervasive.

I swallowed my fear and quickened my pace again.

As I ran, I suddenly felt that there were many more figures walking on both sides of the road, and it seemed that a few figures were following me.

I followed my uncle's teachings and ignored them, knowing in my heart that they were certainly not human.

After a while, they came to the hill.

The shrubs on both sides clearly show black silhouettes in the night, like monsters with teeth and claws.

I remembered my uncle's advice to let me go up the hill and start shouting, so I raised my voice and shouted, "Daughter-in-law! Go back to the door! ”

It was so quiet on the hill that even an embroidery needle could be heard falling on the ground, and there was no sound except my lonely shout, and after I shouted a few times, even my heart began to feel empty.

I was busy reassuring myself not to be afraid, and although I didn't look back, I knew that Uncle was following behind.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, I was about to move my steps, when I suddenly glanced at it and saw a white figure sitting on the stump of a tree on the side.

"What are you doing, young man?" The old man in white spat out a puff of smoke and spoke slowly.

I fixed my eyes and saw that a cool breath rushed from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, isn't this Zhang Laohan, who died of illness a few years ago, he is already dead, why is he here?

The electric light flashed in my mind, and I suddenly realized that the person I would meet on the road was actually a ghost!

My mouth trembled, and I said, "I'm looking for a daughter-in-law!" ”

For a long time, the old man ignored me and only smoked by himself.

Seeing this, I didn't dare to linger, so I quickly descended the hill.

Below the hill is a locust forest.

Under the moonlight, the locust forest was black and black, like a demon cave, eerie and terrifying.

I had just reached the outskirts of the forest when I suddenly heard the sound of children playing in front of me, as if they were playing a game of throwing their handkerchiefs.

"Throw it, throw it, throw it away, put it gently on the back of the child, don't tell him, hurry up and catch him, hurry up and catch him......"

The child's voice was immature, but I heard a creepy in my ears, how could there be children in the wild forest of the third watch in the middle of the night?

I remembered that this locust forest was a place where dead babies were dumped, and a terrible conjecture came to mind.

Those little kids in front of you can't be dead babies thrown here, right?

I slowed down, took a few steps forward, and when I looked up, I saw a group of bare-bottomed children playing in the clearing on the outskirts of the locust woods.

What is terrifying is that the children are all gray-brown skin.

When I saw them, they saw me too, and they rushed up and ran up, humming a ballad: "Catch him, hurry up and catch him, hurry up and ......"

I saw the group of children coming up to me, and I was so frightened that I almost turned around and ran.

Because the children not only had gray-brown skin, but also had a layer of green corpse hair on their bodies, and the two eye sockets on their faces were deeply sunken, black and black, as if they had been gouged out of their eyes.

They ran up to me and surrounded me, all of them stretching out their hands and babbling for candy.

"Uncle, ask for sugar, ask for sugar, give me candy ......"

I took several steps backwards, and when these imps saw that I was flinching, they came closer, and several of the imps even reached my face, and when they saw that I didn't give me, they grabbed and pinched me.

I felt a crusting pain in my arm, and I gasped at the corners of my mouth.

Just when I was at a loss, I suddenly remembered the paper money that my uncle gave me when I was leaving, and now it was being held in my hand, so my lips trembled and said, "There is sugar to eat, there is sugar to eat." ”

As I spoke, I scattered all the money in my hand on the ground.

When the imps saw the paper money, they were very happy, and they squatted down to pick up the money, and I took the opportunity to get rid of their entanglement and plunged into the locust forest.

After entering the forest, I realized that my forehead was already drenched in cold sweat, and at the same time, I was afraid that if I hadn't used this money to relieve the siege, I was afraid that I would have been eaten alive by this group of imps.

When you step into the forest, you will obviously feel different from the outside, the air is colder, and there is an indescribable wet smell.

At first, when I walked outside, I could see the road and scenery vaguely by the moonlight, but now in the forest, the dense foliage blocked the night sky, and I could only find my way by feeling.

The ground was very flat, and there was not a single weed, but it was covered with leaves, and it was soft to step on, which should have been very comfortable, but I don't know if I was nervous from being scared, or how, it always felt like I was stepping on the body of some living thing.

I remembered what my uncle had said, that the female ghost was in this locust forest, and that if I shouted loudly, she would return to the paper figure behind me.

"Daughter-in-law! Go back to the door! ”

I shouted again, my voice high and low, like a parabola, without any confidence.

The forest is very quiet, and the silence outside can be said to be quiet, but the silence here is completely dead and quiet, and there is no life at all.

I always felt that my call would disturb something, and I shouted and shouted, and even I was afraid, and the voice was so breathy that only I could hear it.

But you can't stop.

I shouted as I walked deeper into the locust woods.

Because this locust forest is located in the valley, according to the uncle's meaning, I walked to the center of the ravine, and I also reached the middle of the locust forest.

Must be back by twelve o'clock in the morning.

As I walked, I didn't know if it was an illusion or something, but I gradually felt that the paper figure on my back became a little heavier.

I brushed the paper figure with both hands, and it was fluttering, and it didn't seem to be.

"Daughter-in-law, go back to the door—"

I shouted again.

After a few more steps, the weight increased again, this time not by an illusion, which I'm sure wasn't an illusion.
