My name is Li Tianyou, and I was born in a remote mountain village.

My grandfather is an old superstitious person, and he is also a feng shui gentleman in our village, and it is said that in the year I was born, my grandfather calculated my life, saying that I was a debt collector with a fate, and my life was too hard to kill my parents, and I was never allowed to live with my parents before I became an adult, and even before I became an adult, he didn't even give me a surname.

Even so, although it will not kill my parents, it will also suppress their luck, and they will only be able to do nothing in this life.

That's why I grew up living with my grandparents, and when I was a child, I ate other people's mother's milk, so I had the nickname of "begging" for many of my peers.

My grandfather never let me play outside, the main reason was that I was not only hard-hitting, but also had a pair of yin and yang eyes, which allowed me to see the unclean things of the other world.

The first time I saw something unclean was when I was six years old, and I remember that it was just after the Chinese New Year, when my grandparents had just returned to the village with my relatives after a visit, and suddenly they saw the leftover dog of our village under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

As soon as he saw us, he ran over with a sigh of relief, saying that now is the New Year, you must come to my house to eat dumplings, add a little joy, and have good luck in the coming year.

Although the dog leftover man is lazy and lazy, but the people's hearts are not bad, my grandfather sees that he is a person and is pitiful, and they are all from a village, and he didn't look up and looked down, so he agreed.

However, I sat on the back of my grandfather's bicycle, looking at the dog leftover who had been walking next to us, but I always felt that the dog leftover was different from before, when he didn't speak, he always lowered his head, I don't know if it was my delusion, I always felt that when he looked at my grandfather, there was a touch of resentment in his eyes.

Even occasionally walking by someone's window, by the light from the house, I seemed to hallucinate, as if I saw an extra layer of water on his face, as if he had just crawled out of the water.

At that age, I was full of curiosity about everything, so I rubbed my eyes to see it again, but when I looked at the dog again, I found that the water stains on his body were gone.

At that time, I wanted to ask the dog leftover what was going on, but I didn't know if the dog leftover felt something, so he suddenly turned his head and smiled at me.

Even now, I can vividly remember that the smile of the dog was so strange that his face became extremely pale, and his cheeks became blurred, as if he had overlapped with another face.

I was so frightened that I dared to speak, so I could only lower my head and drag my grandfather's clothes in order to get a little psychological comfort.

Grandpa, they took me into the house, but for some reason, the dog leftover, who had been following us, suddenly stopped, and he stood hesitantly at the door, looking left and right, not to mention how nervous he was.

"This ...... I...... Can I come in? ”

The words of the dog leftover made my grandfather wonder in his heart, this door is also open, and it has been said just now? Why are you still hesitating again when you're just a kick in the door?

And I noticed at this time that the dog leftover seemed to be very hot now, and there was a pool of water left where he was standing.

But now it's winter, it's very cold outside, how can the dog sweat so much?

Grandpa's eyes were old, and it was dark outside, so he naturally didn't see this scene, he just wanted to call the dog leftovers in, I quickly pulled grandpa's clothes, and whispered everything I saw just now in my grandfather's ear.

Grandpa's face changed on the spot, and he beckoned my grandmother to take me into the house, saying that the door should be closed tightly, and that if you hear any movement outside, don't come out, and don't peek.

After that, I heard my grandfather killing the big rooster outside and the call of the old black dog in our house, especially this big black dog, barking very fiercely, just like a crazy, scared me to hide in my grandmother's arms and shiver, I was still very puzzled, this big black dog is not usually very docile? Basically, I don't scream when I see people, why are I crazy today?

Is it because ......

Dog leftovers?

Grandma shook her head with a pale face, asked me not to ask more and not to talk more, I had no choice but to pull out my ears and listen to the movement outside, in the winter in the south, it is often windy outside, but the cold wind on this day is unusually bad, the ghost cries wolf, I look out of the window, and from time to time I can see mottled shadows shaking outside.

After about a long time, Grandpa walked in from outside, covered in blood, with an indescribable tiredness in his expression.

As soon as the grandfather entered the house, he shouted to the grandmother, "You quickly take Tianyou and hide in that coffin, the dog's leftover son is haunted by water ghosts, and now he has come up to find a replacement for the dead ghost." ”

At that time, cremation was not yet practiced in the countryside, and the old people would prepare a coffin for themselves in advance.

I know the coffin that grandpa said, and it is placed in the side room, the coffin is blood-red, as if it is dyed with blood, and there is an incense burner at the front end of the coffin, and the incense in the incense burner does not disperse all year round.

For the coffin, I have been very afraid of the coffin since I was a child, thinking that it was an unlucky thing, but after listening to my grandfather's words, my grandmother didn't care whether I liked it or not, and took me directly into the coffin, and then closed the coffin lid tightly, leaving not even a gap for breathing.

"God bless you, listen well, you just lie in the coffin at night, no matter what movement you hear, even if you hear your grandparents call your name, don't say yes, you must remember." Grandpa shouted outside.

I hurriedly turned into my grandmother's arms and whispered, "Got it." ”

After that, there was no movement outside.

Soon after, I really heard people calling my name, first from our village, then from the dog, and then even from my parents.

I spent the night in the midst of people calling my name, some of those voices were far away from me, mine was very close to me, and several times I couldn't help but answer, but fortunately my grandmother covered my mouth in time, until the next day, when my grandfather, covered in blood, opened the coffin lid, and I took a few deep breaths of relief.

After I listened to my grandfather, I learned that the reason why Gou Yuzi asked again before entering the house last night and wanted to ask for the consent of the people in Grandpa's house was because during the Chinese New Year, Grandpa posted two door gods at the door, and Grandpa also hung Tianzun Dharma in the house, which is said to be grandpa opened the light and had divine things.

If the owner of the house does not agree, the evil will not be able to enter the house.

Grandpa handed me a piece of paper and a pen and asked me to write a word on the paper casually, and I answered, and without thinking too much, I wrote a "big" word directly on the paper.

Grandpa frowned and stared at the word I wrote for a long time, and his face was low and he didn't say a word for a long time.

I was puzzled when I saw it, so I asked curiously, "Grandpa, how about you tell me about this word?" ”

Grandpa's face was a little ugly, sighed, gently touched my little head, and explained, "The big one, start writing horizontally, and then draw people, and when you raise horizontally, it is a knife, and the knife falls on the head, fierce, fierce, it is really a sign of great evil." ”

At the end, the grandfather added, "God bless you are a yin fate, born with a ghost, this is why you can see the evil spirit, if the water ghost kills you, you can immediately borrow the corpse to return to the yang, yesterday I just beat the water ghost away, today is a cloudy day, and the yang energy is weak at night, he will inevitably make a comeback at that time, God bless you...... Ay. ”

Grandpa sighed, I was still young at that time, and I didn't know how big this omen was, but grandma's legs and feet were weak when she listened to it, and she almost fell to the ground, she pulled grandpa's clothes and shouted, "No, Tianyou is the only seedling of our family, if Tianyou dies, our family's incense will be broken, where do we have any face to see the ancestors of the Li family after we die, old man, you have to think of a way, you must have a way, right?" ”

It's just that grandma's words made grandpa's face even more ugly, and he hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded.

He subconsciously looked towards the blood-red coffin, gritted his teeth, and said, "Tie yin." ”
