Chapter 18: It's Back
"I saw it, it came back...... I saw it, it's back......"
He Laoqi lay on the ground and curled up in a ball, repeating this sentence constantly, trembling all over, and the whole person fell into an boundless nightmare.
"What's coming back?" I asked out loud.
He Laoqi was shocked, suddenly got up from the ground and grabbed me, shouting in horror: "Ghost! Ghost! It's a ghost!! It's back!! It's back! ”
After calling him, he went to arrest others again, and pushed people out, "Run, run, run for your life!" ”
Everyone was frightened by his crazy appearance and stepped back, and He Laoqi grabbed a few times and didn't catch anyone, so he ran away shouting like crazy.
Everyone looked at his distant back and looked at each other for a while.
"It's ...... Crazy, right? "Some people are frightened, and the village has not been peaceful lately, and superstitious people are muttering in their hearts.
"The brain meridian is wrong, what should he do?" There are also those who do not believe it.
"Let's send his family to a mental hospital, what if something happens to this madness?" Someone said kindly.
As soon as the words fell, as if to confirm his words, someone suddenly shouted in the distance: "Come and save people, He Laoqi fell into the river!" ”
With a "hula", the crowd rushed towards the river again.
……
He Laoqi did fall into the river, but he found it quickly and did not drown, and was sent to the health center by his family afterwards to be taken to the health center for an injection to calm down.
I was nervous, if it was before, I would think he was crazy like everyone else, but I am not sure that there are more and more things that I have been exposed to.
He Laoqi is indeed a little nervous, but he has always been quiet, and he must have been stimulated by something when he suddenly became so exhausted.
He said it was a ghost!
I've never seen a ghost, and I'm instinctively more afraid of ghosts, and at least I can still see the corpse, but ghosts are too mysterious, and unknown things are always scary.
I talked to Huang Mao about this issue before, and he didn't care about the corpse, but when he talked about ghosts, his face was obviously much more solemn.
Obviously, the two don't seem to be on the same level.
I immediately called Huang Mao and told him about He Laoqi, Huang Mao's tone was really solemn, and said: "I'd rather believe it than believe it, don't go out at night." ”
I answered, and then asked suspiciously, "Can ghosts show up in broad daylight?" ”
He Laoqi suddenly exhausted himself in the afternoon, he must have just been stimulated, there is no reason to be stimulated last night, and he didn't go crazy until the afternoon.
"Ghosts don't appear in the daytime, they may see ghosts or something else, I can't say a word or two, in short, be careful." Huang Mao said, and after saying a few more words, he hung up.
Putting down the phone, I was uneasy, He Laoqi was scared like that, things must not be simple, and he said "it's back", indicating that he had seen it before, and something happened that made him extremely frightened.
He was chattering, and if he couldn't get it, it was the root of the disease that he had been frightened and fell on. And Feng Deliang, I have always had a strong intuition that he did not commit suicide.
I couldn't figure it out, I tried to call Chen Laogen again, but I still couldn't get through, which also made me depressed. No matter how troublesome things are, it's always okay to keep a phone call, right?
I was in my heart all afternoon, and I always felt that something was going to happen, something big was going to happen!!
……
Although many people don't believe it, they act surprisingly consistently, and everyone consciously closes the door and no longer goes out.
Rumors and fears continue to spread in the township, and it has reached the point where children stop crying. I also prepared early, and closed the doors and windows while there was still a hint of bright color in the sky, and prepared to spend the night.
But at this moment, my mobile phone suddenly vibrate, and I was surprised when I picked it up and saw it, Chen Laogen!
Your sister, I couldn't get through just now, but now I actually called by myself.
Pressing the answer button, Chen Laogen couldn't wait to ask: "He Laoqi went crazy today?" ”
I originally had a lot of questions, but I was blocked, so I responded to him first, and Chen Laogen said: "You must save him!" ”
"What...... What the? I was stunned and said, "He, is he in danger?" ”
"He's seen something he shouldn't be looking at, and he's going to die tonight!" Chen Laogen's tone was anxious, and he said: "Listen, go to your grandfather's grave immediately, pick up some peach pits with red silk, go to He Laoqi at night, tie them up with red thread and hang them behind the doors and windows, and guard him until the rooster Sichen." ”
When I heard this, I was immediately confused. Chen Laogen was so sure that He Laoqi had seen something that he shouldn't have seen, that is, the ghost of He Laoqi's exhaustion?
Moreover, that ghost is going to harm He Lao Mi tonight?
I'm cold, it's too late to hide from this kind of thing, Chen Laogen actually wants me to go, and I want the life of the Qing family!!
"I ...... Can I do it? "I instinctively wanted to back down, what kind of joke, to deal with those ghosts and evil spirits, it would be nice if I didn't get scared to death first.
"He Laoqi can't die, hurry up, it's too late!" Chen Laogen was impatient.
I was furious, and to tell me in my heart, Chen Laogen had already become wary of him by throwing me at the dangerous scene twice, and I don't know if it will happen again this time.
After thinking for a moment, I immediately asked, "Why did you set my grandfather's grave in the peach grove?" ”
This question is very critical, if Chen Laogen really wants to harm me and my grandfather, he can't say anything tonight, if not, then contact Huang Mao.
Now Huang Mao is more trustworthy than Chen Laogen.
Chen Laogen paused obviously and said, "I didn't order that acupuncture point, it was requested by your grandfather before his death." ”
"What, how can this be?" I was taken aback.
"Your grandfather knows how to do it!" Chen Laogen said a word and immediately hung up the phone, obviously very shy about this topic.
Listening to the blind voice on the phone, I stood in place in a daze.
Grandpa knows? Does he know how to do rituals? Why did you never know? And no one ever told me?
I have the impression that my grandfather is a retired teacher, who can do the craftsman's handiwork, has culture, and knows how to write and ink, and occasionally has red and white ceremonies, and he will also be a bookkeeper there, or write some red and white couplets or something.
This is completely incompatible with Chen Laogen, Magu and other people who practice the Dharma.
Instinctively, I remembered what Feng Qiangtou said at the grave, he said that the ominous things in the village were all brought by my grandfather, and he was not a good person, and he ruined the feng shui in the village.
Don't...... Is there really a side of grandpa that I don't know about?
He has been away from the township for 20 years, but he has never talked about that time, and now that he thinks about it, it seems that he can faintly match it.
If Chen Laogen didn't lie, then what did my grandfather want? I know that under the peach blossom tree is a place of great murder, but I want to bury myself under the peach blossom tree?
The most important thing is that those peach blossom trees were planted by him. Huang Mao also said that the arrangement of those peach trees was faintly a gossip, which was arranged by knowledgeable people.
I was confused for a while, if it was just Chen Laogen who said this, I would think that he was lying to excuse himself, but with Huang Mao and Feng Qiangtou, my heart was shaken.
After thinking about it, I immediately called Huang Mao, but the phone rang, but no one answered for a long time, I don't know what he was doing.
I was in a hurry, seeing that it was going to be dark, and I couldn't take care of it so much, so I immediately rode a motorcycle to the old house, Huang Mao gave me two peach pits with red silk, but it was definitely not enough, the front and back doors and two windows of the hospital ward, at least four.
The motorcycle drove all the way, and soon reached the peach grove, and my grandfather's grave was still the same as before, so I paused and immediately went to the haystack under the peach tree to look for the peach pit.
This peach grove has not been taken care of since the death of my grandfather, and there are many peach pits left after the fruit is rotten, but there are very few peach pits with red silk.
I searched for a long time and only got three, but when I didn't have time, I immediately returned, returned home and brought the two that Huang Mao had given me, grabbed a handful of red threads, and hurried to the township health center.
When we arrived at the health center, the last clouds on the horizon also dimmed, and night fell.
I rushed in to look for it, and soon found He Laoqi, the countryside people basically prescribe some medicine to go home to eat for minor diseases, and they are rarely hospitalized, and if it is really serious, it is also transferred to the big hospital in the county.
Therefore, the only ward with lights on in the health center is where He Laoqi lives.
He Laoqi was lying on the hospital bed, as if he was asleep, and his son was sitting on the side of the hospital bed with a sad face guarding him, and when he saw me, he was a little surprised, so he asked, "Boss Meng, who are you?" ”
I instinctively made up a reason and said, "Well, I feel uncomfortable these days, and I don't dare to sleep at home." ”
Don't tell him about the gods and ghosts, you need help, in case you scare him away, you will be even more lonely.
He Laoqi's son nodded and said, "Yes, you live alone now, in case something happens, you don't even have someone to take care of, it's better to have a health center, there is a doctor on duty at night, and we also have company at night." ”
I smiled, handed him a cigarette, lit it and said, "It's good, it's just that the township has not been peaceful recently, and the health center is empty, so I look a little panicked." ”
Of all the public places, hospitals and crematoriums are the most shady because they are places where the dead are concentrated or the bodies are burned.
I say this for a purpose, to put walnuts, otherwise I won't be able to explain my actions later.
Sure enough, Mr. He's son's face immediately changed, and he looked out of the door and window with some hairiness, and said, "Yes, that...... Feng Daniu's daughter-in-law was bitten to death. ”
"It's okay, I have gadgets, whether it's useful or not, it never hurts to hang up." Seeing that the purpose was achieved, I took out the walnuts and the red thread, wrapped the walnuts with the red thread, and hung them behind the front and back doors and windows, and put the extra one in my pocket just in case.
Mr. He's son opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, acquiescing to my behavior.
By this time, it was completely dark.
Glancing at the dreary night outside, I felt a chill down my spine, and carefully checked the doors and windows, praying secretly in my heart that I wouldn't make too much trouble tonight.
