I remember later than most people, and most people start remembering things after the age of three, but my childhood memories only began when I was seven years old and went to elementary school.

The previous memories were very vague, as if someone had erased them.

But when my grandmother was alive, she used to tell me something about when I was a child.

I was born a crybaby, and other children cried at most several times a day, but I cried almost as long as I was awake, crying so hoarse that I couldn't make a sound, but I still kept crying.

It's like seeing something scary.

At that time, people were more superstitious, so my grandfather wrote my birthday on yellow paper according to the custom, put it at the intersection and burned it, and at the same time pasted a red paper with a spell on the side of the street: "The Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of the Earth, there is a night crying man in my family, and the gentleman who passes by recites it three times, and sleeps until dawn." ”

Of course, it doesn't help.

I still cried all the time, crying so much that everyone was upset, and I was skinny.

At that time, everyone who saw me said that the child might not grow up, and according to my grandmother, it was really a miracle that I could grow up healthy and healthy.

Fortunately, my grandfather saved an old Taoist priest when he was young, when the whole country set off an operation to destroy Buddhism and Taoism, the old Taoist priest clashed with several soldiers while defending his Taoist temple, and was later caught, shaved his hair and beard, and swam the streets several times, and finally imprisoned in the school warehouse. Grandpa was in charge of logistics at the school at that time, and seeing that he was dying of hunger, he secretly sent him some food every day, so that he survived the most difficult days.

Later, the old Taoist priest was sentenced to ten years in prison, and finally he was not killed, and when he was sent away, he told my grandfather that he would definitely repay him.

No one took this matter to heart, but no one expected that when everyone was at a loss for what to do with me, the old Taoist priest would come back.

"This kid is not going to have a good life." He said after reading my life. "The eight characters are too light, and they are yin, so I'm afraid it's not easy to feed."

The family was so angry that they wanted to kick him out, but he finally said, "If you can trust me and give me the child, I can think of a way." ”

Naturally, my parents disagreed, but my grandfather still gave me to him despite the public opinion.

From a psychological point of view, it is always easier for people to trust the people they have helped.

A few days later, he took me home, and I was very haggard.

"The child is fine." He said this as he handed his grandfather a talisman made of yellow paper. "If you wear this talisman for a long time, you can keep you safe for a lifetime."

No one believed that such a paper thing could have such a great effect, but at that time my body was already very weak, and my family used the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and gave me the talisman to wear. According to the old Taoist priest, he changed my name and named me Sun Yang.

Unexpectedly, since that day I have never cried at night, no longer looking at places where there are no people, no longer making inexplicable sounds, and even the strange things at home have been much less.

I started laughing, I started walking, I started talking, I started thriving like a normal child, and it all seemed like it was over.

But my grandfather passed away when I was six and a half years old, and I started to feel wrong again.

Grandma said that I was always talking to myself alone in the place where my grandfather often sits, as if I was talking to my grandfather, which frightened the people in the family.

They carried me to the old Taoist priest, but he had been dead for more than a year, leaving only a book for his apprentice to give to him when the old man returned.

This old man refers to us.

It was a talisman book, and each page on it had a ghostly drawing, but it was incomplete, and there were only eight pages in total. The Taoist priests did not know what the book was for, because the talismans on it were different from those circulated elsewhere.

But since the old Taoist priest explained this, they did it.

My grandmother sewed a bag of cotton cloth according to the book and hung it on me, which was strange to say, and soon I was back to normal, and I was no different from any other child. Grandma remembered the words of the old Taoist priest and was worried that there was something wrong with my life, so she kept me carrying it and the amulet with me until I was in college.

But it's nothing for a little doll to wear a talisman, and it doesn't look good if an adult wears it all the time.

It is a triangle folded with yellow paper, about four centimeters long and three centimeters wide, it doesn't look good, and there is no way to change it into other ornaments, so it can only be tied from the inside with a red string. In the summer, sometimes I would be exposed when I went out, and my classmates kept laughing at me for being superstitious after they found out what it was, so I took it off soon after. It's just because of my grandmother's instructions before her death that I take it in my luggage wherever I go.

As for that book, it was long ago thrown away by me at home.

At this time, Master Lu talked about my life, and I remembered it.

In front of everyone's eyes, I left him and ran to the dormitory as if I had fallen into an evil spirit.

The boss asked in surprise, "Master Lu...... This? ”

"Out of the way, out of the way."

I almost pulled the amulet out of the corner of the box with a trembling hand, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but the moment my hand touched it, I seemed to hear a woman's scream, and my spirit suddenly lifted.

It was still the same as in my memory, and then I realized that I had worn it for more than ten years, without protecting or cleaning it, but it still looked like it was the first time I saw it, inconspicuous yellow paper, but it was as good as new, but the red thread had rotted.

I rummaged around the dormitory and found a white cloth belt to tie the materials, and it was not a matter of whether it looked good or not, so I tried it and felt very strong, so I cut a piece and tied it firmly around my neck through the gap in the amulet.

"I see." Master Lu smiled when he saw me.

I was a little distracted and wondered if he would know the secret of the amulet, but he just nodded, and then let me lead the way up the mountain.

said that he was a master, but in fact, he looked only in his early forties, and he didn't look like those masters in the movie, but his assistant was very handsome, but a little more feminine. He was a little shorter than me, probably less than twenty years old, and wore a baseball cap.

Because I hadn't slept well for three days in a row, my feet were floating, and I was out of breath before I had gone far, and the assistant looked at me with disdain, but Master Lu didn't care, stretched out a hand to grab me, and asked me to borrow my strength to go up.

We were at that place in less than an hour.

It was a clear sky before, but when I got here, the sky suddenly became cloudy again, and the cold wind blew in bursts, hardly like summer.

The tomb was still the same as before, and the three bags of corpses were also left in place.

Master Lu let go of my hand and frowned.

"Give me the compass." He said to his assistant.

I saw the compass spinning like a spinning top.

The two of them looked around the tomb and the three packets of corpses for a long time, and the assistant seemed to scatter something everywhere, and I retreated with a weak heart.

After a while, Master Lu walked over to me.

"Little brother, please tell me the details of the day's process again."

So I told the whole story as it was, and when he heard Lao Wan blow up the tomb with explosives, his brow furrowed, and I said that Lao Wan found a jade pendant from the largest corpse bag, and then when the workers began to rummage through the other two corpse bags, his brow furrowed tightly.

"What does that jade jue look like, do you remember?"

I tried my best to recall the description, and he nodded and asked, "Who is it now?" ”

I shook my head. "It's gone."

"Gone? So do you see what other people have found? He continued.

I shook my head, in fact, when the workers were interrogated later, everyone said something different. Some people say it's a jade pendant, some say it's a jade plate, but in the end, no one can say who it is. It's just that someone mentioned that at that time, it was like a ghost on the body, and he was not afraid of those corpse insects, so he reached out and rummaged inside, and he didn't feel sick until he went back at night.

"Take me to the shed." Master Lu said.

There was almost no one there, and none of the workers under Lao Wan dared to live here, so they all went to live elsewhere, leaving only some empty sheds.

It's a mess everywhere.

"Can this also live?" The assistant pinched his nose and said.

That's when I found out that she was a young girl!

Master Lu didn't say a word, frowned and walked back and forth up and down the hillside a few times, I showed him Lao Wanjia's shed, and then took him to the shed where three people disappeared later.

Some people didn't think it before, but now the three of us are standing here, feeling that the surroundings are cloudy, although it is daytime, but the shade of the trees is very dark, as if it is already dusk.

Gusts of wind blew in the woods, making strange sounds.

It's like someone is crying in a low voice.
