The ghost smiled and said, No, I still have to take the ghost 'prostitute' to pay the errand as soon as possible. Besides, I'm afraid of the one on your door.

Grandpa looked down where it was pointing, and a bright mirror hung from the lintel.

Here, almost every house has a palm-sized mirror hanging in front of their door. I asked my mom why this was the case. Mom said that it was used to exorcise ghosts. After death, people become ghosts, and some ghosts linger in the world, and they want to come back to see after seven years. It doesn't matter if you look at it, after all, it is a relative at home, but this look may make it reluctant to return to the underworld, so that it will become a powerful ghost in the yang world. In order to prevent such a thing from happening, a mirror is hung on the lintel. When the ghost walked to the door to enter, he could see in the mirror the terrible appearance of the ghost queen, and he was ashamed of himself, so he turned around and left.

We got out of the sedan chair and turned around to say goodbye to the ghosts, but found that they were gone, and there were only me and my grandfather in the cold moonlight.

As soon as I got home, "Milk" and "Milk" grabbed my grandfather and said, "The person who came to you that time is here again!" ”

Grandpa had just had a fight with the ghost prostitute, and he was so tired that he asked impatiently, "Who came to me?" Be clear! ”

"Milk" "Milk" said: "It was you who came to look for you before you went to Hong's house, and his child had a car accident." Got it? ”

"What?" Grandpa blinked, not hearing the words "milk" and "milk" clearly. It was a sign of regurgitation, but it was very subtle, just a slight inability to see and tinnitus in the ears. I couldn't see it myself, I thought it was the light bulb at home that was covered with dust, and I was about to call "milk" and "milk" and wipe it with a dry hand towel. However, my backlash was much lighter than my grandfather's, because I had very little time to fight directly with the ghost "prostitute".

"Make a bowl of brown sugar water for me to drink." Grandpa said to "milk" and "milk".

"Milk" "Milk" knew that grandpa was not feeling well, so he hurriedly went to the kitchen to get a bowl. There is such a strange phenomenon, grandpa and "milk" and "milk" have been together for more than 40 years, and they are becoming more and more like a person. On the whole, of course, you can tell which is grandpa and which is "milk" and "milk". But if you look closely at the nose, eyes, and ears, they are all very close. Not only that, but their sensory nerves seem to be connected, and each other's blinking, sighing, or even flicking their fingers can understand each other.

"Milk" and "Milk" brought two bowls of brown sugar water and gave me and my grandfather to drink respectively. Only then did I feel that my body was my own, and I felt much more comfortable.

"You go on." Grandpa put down the bowl, and the red "colored" sugar residue remained at the bottom of the bowl.

"Today, when we were about to have dinner, the guy who was looking for you came again. It's the person who went to Hongjiaduan to find you once, remember? "Milk" "Milk" asked.

"Didn't I tell him? I don't care about so many things. Grandpa said, "I don't mean that there are no supernatural things, but everyone forcibly pulled a little accident with the ghost, and I am not exhausted by them?" ”

"Milk" "Milk" said as she cleaned up the dishes, "He didn't come for his daughter this time. ”

"Not for his daughter? Which is for what? I interjected.

"Milk" "Milk" said: "His daughter has died in the hospital. ”

"Dead?" I was surprised.

"What's so surprising that he said his daughter was in the hospital when he came to look for you. He returned to the hospital, where his daughter was already in the morgue. "Milk" "Milk" said, "He said that his daughter was so badly injured that she was sinned while she lived." A big man started crying as he spoke. I can't even stand it. ”

Grandpa sighed. I asked, "Then why did he come to Grandpa?" ”

"Milk" "Milk" walked to the kitchen and said through a door, "He said that there was another car accident in that downhill place, and it was a boy who was hit." ”

Grandpa lit a cigarette and said, "I told you it was an accident." Didn't he say it happens once a year, you see it happens twice this year. The downhill place should be paid attention to, it is a place prone to accidents, what does it have to do with ghosts if you don't pay attention? ”

"Put out the smoke." "Milk" "Milk" was washing dishes in the kitchen, and the water made a rattling sound. "However, the boy was not killed and is still in the hospital. The boy's parents grabbed the girl's parents, blaming his daughter's ghost for haunting his son and trying to reason with him. ”

I said, "Even if the girl's soul is entangled in his son, but it's already like this, what's the use of being noisy?" ”

"Milk" "Milk" said, "The boy's father said that he would nail the girl's grave while his son was not dead. ”

"Nailed?" I suddenly thought of the scene where my grandfather nailed the ghost with a bamboo nail, and I also remembered that Yueji told me that the ghost had escaped my grandfather's confinement. I want to tell my grandfather about the escape of the ghost of the basket, and on second thought, let's hear how he handled the car accident.

"Milk" "Milk" said, "Yes, the boy's father insisted on nailing the girl's grave. It was said that he had to pierce the girl's grave with a rake tooth in order to save his son's life. "The rake tooth is a part of the agricultural tool used to plow the field, shaped like a dagger, and is often used when turning the soil in the paddy field.

Grandpa smiled bitterly: "If you want to nail it, you can't nail it like this." This nail method can only be used for adult graves, and for children's graves can only be nailed with bamboo nails. If you nail it in a "chaotic" way, I'm afraid it will backfire. ”

"How did he know that. So the two parents argued. When the girl's parents found me, they still had a blue patch on their eyes, so I guess the two of them had a fight. He said that his own daughter had also died, and that he knew what it was like to be a father, and no one wanted anything to happen to his children. He said he could understand the boy's father's feelings. However, he couldn't bear to see his daughter die and be nailed by a rake. "'Milk' 'Milk' said.

"That's right." Grandpa nodded.

"Milk" "Milk" said, "So he came to you again and asked for your help." ”

"How can I help?" The cigarette butt on Grandpa's mouth suddenly lit up, then dimmed again, and then a smoke ring floated in the air.

I got a little tired and said, "Why don't we talk about it tomorrow?" I'm tired enough tossing today. ”

"Milk" and "Milk" immediately wiped their two wet hands on their clothes and said, "Sleep, sleep." I'm going to help you get the quilt straight. I see that you deal with ghosts every day, and I am afraid that you will have a heavy yin on you, so I took all the quilts outside to dry today, and I haven't put them in the sheets yet. You have to sit a little longer, and I'll get the quilt ready and call you. ”

More than ten years ago, the five-watt incandescent lamps that were generally used in the countryside were dimly lit. My grandfather and I sat across from each other in the dim light, and my eyes itched with his smoke.

"What do you think about this?" Grandpa flicked the cigarette ash and asked me.
