Chapter Twenty-Four: A Stone House Covered with Human Skins
"Tear ...... Tear ......", I walked over and tore hard.
"Tian Qiang, you ......" Brother Guo looked at me incredulously from behind.
"Mr. Tian!" Seeing me tearing hard, Gao Lin also shouted loudly behind him.
"You ......" the paper man, the old ghost, looked at me with surprised eyes.
"Let's go! I tore all the stickers off your body. You're free now. "I used my mouth to blow off the remaining paper scraps from my hands.
"You don't hate me, let me go?"
The cow tears in my eyes completely lost their effect, and I couldn't see the black old ghost, only the lips of the paper man on the sofa moved.
"Of course I hate! To be honest, I want Brother Guo to beat you to the ground. You hurt Liu Xin and my only sister......"
I wiped the tears that suddenly welled up in my eyes.
"But your conscience has found it. Let's go, let's go! "I yelled.
"Boom ......" The paper man wearing a relic shirt, relict cloth shoes, and a jade bracelet on his paper wrist slowly stood up.
"Whoa...... Accompanied by the sound ......of origami, the paper man Liu Guifen bent down and bowed deeply to me and Brother Guo.
"Son, mom is gone. Time is pressing, you immediately go to Anmin Cemetery to find Granny Zhong. The mother-in-law was easy to find, not tall and thin, and she liked to pull a small iron bucket behind her. ”
"Mom, I remember. You went over there...... Take care! "Another separation in life, this eternal separation, brought tears to the eyes of this thirty-two-year-old man.
"Mom is gone, you take good care of yourself......"
"Whew", a gust ......of wind suddenly blew in the quiet living room, and there were two "clanging sounds", and the pair of kodama bracelets on the paper man's wrist rolled down the paper man's hand to the floor. The paper figure in clothes and cloth shoes instantly lost its support, and bent down.
"Mom! Mother! I'll send Xiaoxin back to you safely! With tears in his eyes, Gao Lin threw himself to the lifeless paper man.
"Brother, cheer up and get up!" Brother Guo and I went over and helped him to the sofa.
Liu Guifen said that this matter was very urgent, Liu Xin and the blind ghost Xiaoxin were abducted by a group of unknown things in the underworld. This is very tricky, we don't even need to ask Li Feng, because the place where the abduction took place is the real underworld, which is another space that exists. And what Li Feng knew was only about the one-acre and three-point land in Anmin Cemetery.
It seems that you can only go to Granny Zhong who is trembling even when black and white is uncommon, as Liu Guifen said!
"Brother Guo, I'm going to trouble you again." I said apologetically.
"Look at what you said, it's not outside. Although I said that I came for the sack ghost this time, I was really asked to draw talismans in the house from morning till night for a few days, and I had to suffocate to death. Let's go, let's meet the thousand-year-old ghost again! ”
After that, we packed our things and went to the cemetery.
"Mr. Tian, Master Guo, I'll drive." Gao Lin turned to the table to get the car keys.
Brother Guo and I glanced at each other, so this guy doesn't have to go.
"Mr. Gao, you better stay at home. Let's just go. I stopped his hand to get the keys and said.
"I have to go, Xiaoxin is in the hands of those ghosts, I'm going to ask Granny Zhong how to save it." What Gao Lin said was really like that.
"Brother", Brother Guo patted him on the shoulder and asked him to sit down.
"I'll just do it with Tian Qiang, you stay. Say anything, you're the only one alive in your family now, and you can't be in danger anymore. We understand your current mood, but, I am a ghost catcher, and Tian Qiang has seen a lot of ghosts in the past few days for his sister. We'll take care of this, you just have to work hard. ”
"Don't worry, I promise to put Xiaoxin safe and sound in the hands of your mother." Brother Guo looked at him with unquestionable eyes.
I also told him that Granny Zhong has a strange temperament, and it is not good for three people to quarrel with her so late. Gao Lin frowned and thought for half a minute, and finally agreed to our suggestion. He stays, and we'll do it.
Leaving the happy community, we drove to Anmin Cemetery again. I walked three or four times in three days on the winding road there. Life is like this, every moment is full of impermanence.
An hour later, we arrived at An Min Cemetery. Park your car and come to the gate. Uncle Qi is on the night shift, and he can't sleep with the lights on all night. The two of us shouted twice outside the door, and the uncle came out to open the door for us.
I thanked my uncle and his nephew Mr. Qi in person for helping to check Liu Guifen's information. Uncle asked me, you found Liu Guifen's home, so did Liu Xin come back?
I sighed and told my uncle what had happened next.
The uncle pondered for a while, and said that the nonsense was not credible. In case Liu Guifen is pretending, it is just a way to get out......
Brother Guo and I promised at the same time that Liu Guifen should not lie to us. Brother Guo said that he was very sure of this, because from the first second he saw the old ghost's body with cow tears, he stared at its eyes closely.
Liu Guifen's eyes are honest and her emotions are real.
"Well, if that's the case, you can only ask Granny Zhong. But you'd better go and see her alone. It's better for you to ......," Uncle Qi pointed at me and said.
Brother Guo disagreed, it was all here, even if Granny Zhong could kill herself with ten years of experience in catching ghosts in one fell swoop, but such an important matter, let Tian Qiang go by himself, he was not at ease.
But Uncle Qi insisted on not letting him go, saying that Granny Zhong had a strange temper, and in front of her, it was safer for one person to go than two people. Moreover, she kills people without blinking, and if either of the two people says the wrong thing, the consequences are unimaginable.
Uncle Qi just won't let me go, and we have no choice but to let me, who once had the aura of an adult in the underworld and a ghost king, in.
This is confirmed, but there is another thing that I am a little worried about, what if Granny Zhong is not there tonight?
Uncle Qi said, you can go around the various areas of the cemetery, you will definitely be able to meet it. Because, only at night, Granny Zhong came out.
Uncle Qi took Brother Guo into the communication room to wait for me, and before entering the house, he gave me a yellow paper talisman with a pattern that I couldn't understand. Said that if there was danger, tear it to pieces with his hands, and he came.
I hummed and took the talisman, and said in my heart, I am in danger, you are coming, and we will be wiped out together......
I walked down the path alone, and the first place I came to was the first district. Under the dim street lamp, more than 10 rows of more than 300 white and miserable tombstones in the first district are presented in front of you.
"Sigh...... I suddenly felt very cold around me, and I had more contact with ghosts these days, and I suddenly had a feeling that it was likely to be around me, male or female, old or young, anyway, there must be something going forward with me.
I should really ask Brother Guo for a bottle of cow tears, plus a few ghost suppression talismans. Which ghost dares to "tease" me by my side, stick it to its head, and make it cramp in pain.
I walked from District 1 to District 2, from District 2 to District 3, and walked to Area 4 where Liu Guifen and Xiaoxin's ashes were buried. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
Those who are alive in the world have slept at this time. And a few others know what is happening to the ghosts of their loved ones in the distant underworld......
As I walked forward, there were no living people in the empty cemetery except for the rows of tombstones that slowly receded with my steps.
"Boom...... 簌簌......"
"Bone ......"
I suddenly heard a familiar voice from the fifth block behind the bushes.
This was the sound of Granny Chung's footsteps and the sound of the small iron bucket wheel she was pulling rolling on the ground. The man I was looking for appeared, and I walked briskly through the half-man-tall bushes that separated Zones 4 and 5.
"Boom...... 簌簌......"
Granny Zhong's footsteps are just ahead!
When Li Feng was given a home last month, the cemetery staff introduced me that the monuments in areas 1 to 4 of the Anmin Cemetery are small and dense, and families who don't want to make a big deal will usually put the ashes of their relatives here. The monument from the fifth district to the newly opened seventh district is large and loose, which can make the deceased who rest here live more spaciously.
Because of this, I heard Granny Zhong's footsteps but I couldn't see her, probably because the tall tombstone was blocking her thin body.
The sound of Granny Zhong walking was so close that it sounded like it was four or five rows of tombstones in front of me, but when I looked over there, there was nothing.
Damn, this old lady only walks and doesn't show up, and she wants to play some tricks. On that day, I went to the fourth district to confirm the tombstone of the old ghost, and Granny Zhong just came and went without a trace, moving to the front for a while, and moving to the back for a while......
it!
Just when I was complaining about Granny Zhong in my heart, at the edge of the fifth district, near the mountain, there was a street lamp that was white light, illuminating the two or three square meters below the street lamp into white.
And right there, Granny Zhong was bent over, holding the string of the cart in her hand, standing on a small platform high in the mountains.
The white street lights illuminated the outline of her entire person in white. Her wrinkled face smiled at me, and suddenly, she raised her deadwood arm and beckoned to me.
Did she tell me to leave the cemetery and go up the mountain with her?
I looked to the side, and at the bottom of the hill at the edge of the Fifth Zone, there was a narrow, winding dirt path leading up the mountain. Looking further afield, there is no other way up the mountain.
I was afraid that she would disappear again, so I ran towards the path.
"Phew...... Hehe......", I ran down the path from the foot of the fifth district to the middle of the mountain.
"I'm ...... here"
In this dark night, on the dark mountain, Granny Zhong's voice came from not far away.
It's really hateful, in the blink of an eye, she actually ran far ahead. It was already in the middle of the mountain, and it was almost dark without lights. I turned on the light on my phone to illuminate the path under my feet, and at the same time I shone it again.
It didn't matter if I took such a picture, a large round bag not far in front of me came into my eyes. I took a closer look at it by the light of my mobile phone, and it was not an ordinary earthen bag at all, it was a tomb, a giant tomb four or five times larger than an ordinary grave bag!
Granny Zhong stood in front of the grave, waving her arms and waving at me.
"Come here, what are you doing so far away from me?" She said as she stood in front of the grave twenty meters in front of me.
I came to find her, to ask her about the big tail thing in the underworld from her mouth. I strode over to the huge burial bag.
"You stomp three times with your left foot and three times with your right foot. Close your eyes and turn around three more times and do it! Granny Zhong said in a cold tone.
I did what she said, three times with my left foot, three times with my right foot, closed my eyes and turned three more times. I hadn't even opened my eyes when I had finished doing this, and a small gust of wind came out of the "......", which made me feel a little cold.
"Granny Zhong, and then? Granny Zhong, hey, ......" After the cold wind blew, there was suddenly no mother-in-law's voice, and I didn't know what she would ask me to do next.
I opened my eyes on my own initiative, and to my great shock, I was no longer in front of the great grave. Instead, he stood in a room with stone walls. The roof of the house is oval, and there are several beautiful thin clothes hanging from the mirror-like stone walls.
Is there a lot of people living here, and you have to hang so many changes of clothes.
I was curious about what these dozen beautiful thin clothes were made of, and I couldn't help but reach out and touch them.
"Bang", suddenly, there was the sound of the door closing behind me.
"If you break those skins, I'll peel you off and hang them on the wall!"
