Chapter 16: Hanging
Yes, there was a man, dressed in black.
Outside, the moon was cold and the stars were sparse, and the man was sitting in the shadow of the old locust tree, and he was wearing black clothes, so if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to spot him at all.
When I saw that there was someone outside, I shouted to the person, "Were you knocking on my door just now?" ”
The night is still silent! The man in black under the locust tree sat motionless, as if he hadn't heard what I had said.
I frowned, looked around again, and found that there was no second person outside except this person, so I shouted again, "Hey, I see you, who are you?" Did you just knock on the door? ”
The man still ignored me.
"Neurotic!"
I muttered, and when the man ignored me, I stopped asking, and turned back to the house.
As soon as I entered the house, no one had yet to lie back on the bed, and there were three knocks on the door.
Now I'm really angry, damn paralyzed, this product is purely looking for smoking!
At that moment, I threw myself at the door of the room, opened it suddenly, and when I saw that there was still no one outside the door, the man in black was still sitting under the locust tree outside my door.
At this time, I already thought that this thing was playing tricks on me, so I walked directly to the man in black, and at the same time asked, "Did you knock on my door just now......
Soon I came to the bottom of the locust tree, and saw this an old woman with her back to me, holding straw in her hand, weaving a straw rope.
The old woman didn't seem to notice anyone coming, but she kept her head down, her back to me, and concentrated on weaving the straw rope in her hand.
In my image, it is impossible for such an elderly person to play tricks on people, so I can't help but wonder. I asked, "Old woman, did you see someone knocking on my door just now?" ”
At this time, the old woman finally reacted, and she slowly turned her body around.
As soon as she turned her body, I saw that on the chest of the dress she was wearing, there was a big word "Shou" that stood out. How could I not recognize this kind of clothes, isn't this a shroud? Because my grandfather passed away, that's what I wear.
When I saw that this was an old woman in a shroud, I was shocked and knew that I had seen a ghost.
But when I saw the old woman's face, I was so scared that I was dying. Because of this old woman, she turned out to be the same old woman who fell on the side of the road two months ago, and I didn't help her.
At this time, she raised her head and stared at me, and under her pale face, there was a grinning expression at the corner of her mouth. Yes, she's smiling at me......
As soon as I recognized her as the old woman who had fallen two months ago, I was almost scared to death and trembled violently!
The old woman grinned at me and sneered, "I said I would come to you even if I died......"
"Find your sister!"
I was frightened, frightened, and a little angry. Although I was scared, I knew that this time I was really going to finish the game, but I still wanted to run for my life, so my first reaction was to run away with my legs, and I ran into the house with my legs scattered.
As I ran, I only heard the old woman behind me laughing at me in a weird way: "You can't escape." ”
Although I knew that I might not be able to escape tonight, I scurried back into the house in a few steps, and hurriedly locked the door.
At this time, I regretted it very much, why didn't I ask him for a business card when I was separated from Zhang Tianshi? If I still have his business card in my hand, it is equivalent to having a talisman and a glimmer of hope to save my life.
However, what makes me regret even more is that I should not run away from the room, but outside, because I want to hide from ghosts, not people, and ghosts can pass through walls. Now that I'm running into my room, isn't that the same as locking myself up?
I was terrified and I didn't know what to do now, should I stay in my room and die, or should I rush out of the room and run for my life?
Maybe I was too scared, at this time my mind was blank, I only knew that my hands were folded, and my mouth kept begging for the blessing of the gods, what Guanyin Bodhisattva, Eighteen Arhats, Sun Wukong, Taishang Laojun, God...... Anyway, I begged all the names I could name.
I closed my eyes and begged the gods, and begged and begged, and I realized that something was wrong, for I had been in the room for a while, but it seemed that the old woman had not chased after me.
Could it be that the old woman is gone? Or did the god I asked for work?
Holding back the panic in my heart, I gently opened the door a small crack and looked out. Then I saw the old woman still sitting under the locust tree, still weaving the straw rope in her hand.
Even though it was through the crack in the door, I could clearly feel that she was still smiling at me. This sensation made my scalp tingle and my back tingle......
In this way, I stood behind the door in trepidation, staring at her through the crack in the door, wary of her.
Time passed like this, minute by minute, and I was living like a year, and I felt that this dark night was so difficult.
I don't know how long it has been, but the old woman has been sitting under the locust tree, weaving straw ropes.
She was braiding and weaving, and the straw rope in her hand was getting longer and longer, and I kept standing behind the door staring at her.
Finally, the straw rope in her hand was finally braided, and then she stood up, turned her head and grinned at me.
I was frightened, for I could almost guess what was going to happen, and there was a ninety-nine percent chance that the old woman would come up to me and hang me with the freshly knitted straw rope in her hand. In the end, Chen Ergou, an outstanding young man of a generation, farted on this, and like Lao Wang and Xiao Liu, he found that he had hanged himself in his room......
I stared at her with wide eyes and horror.
However, what I never expected was that the old woman did not come to me, but threw the freshly woven straw rope onto the fork of the old locust tree, tied a rope noose at the end that hung down, and then actually put her head into the noose, and she hanged herself!
Yes, she hanged herself under the locust tree with a straw rope she had braided, and wrapped it around her neck.
Seeing this scene, I was stunned, I didn't know what she was doing?
The most creepy thing is that although she put her neck in the rope sleeve, and her whole body hung in the air from the ground, as if she was struggling in great pain, the corners of his mouth grinned at an incomprehensible angle, and that expression was still smiling at me.
Seeing her ghostly appearance, I was so frightened that the whole person jumped back, but one of them didn't stand firm and fell straight down.
This fall knocked me to a stumbling block, my eyes were full of stars, my eyes were black, and my whole person was dizzy.
At that moment, I heard someone calling me.
"Apprentice, apprentice......"
It's Zhang Tianshi's voice!
"Apprentice, apprentice, wake up!"
The voice became clearer and clearer, and I desperately opened my eyes, and sure enough, I saw Zhang Tianshi appear in front of me.
I was surprised and I asked him why he came?
Zhang Tianshi rolled his eyes and said: "You are embarrassed to ask, last night I said that I would come to the second courtyard of the city to look for me at dawn, but I haven't seen you coming, but you kid is busy hanging himself!" ”
I was amazed! Then I realized, Damn, it's really dawn.
Moreover, what made me even more puzzled was that I was lying under the locust tree outside the house, and there was a straw rope hanging above my head. Around me, there were a few neighbors who lived in the same building, standing by and looking at me strangely.
How can I be outside the house? Didn't I fall in my room? And where did the old woman go?
Wait, Zhang Tianshi just now seems to be saying that I was busy hanging myself?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked Zhang Tianshi: "Master, what did your old man just say, you said I was busy hanging?" ”
Zhang Tianshi nodded and said, "Yes, fortunately, the teacher came in time, otherwise you would have been a fart." ”
it! How is this possible! How could I hang myself, didn't I just fall in my room?
When Zhang Tianshi saw that I didn't believe me, he said, "Look, the ropes are still hanging here." ”
At this time, the neighbor on the side also said: "Young man, why can't you think about it so much?" Last night I felt that something was wrong with you, and I saw you sitting alone in the middle of the night under the locust tree weaving straw rope, and braiding it all night, I was feeling strange, and you actually braided a straw rope and hanged it. ”<
