That night, I slept very dazedly, and faintly heard a woman humming softly in the courtyard outside the room.

It was a strange summer heat, and I couldn't sleep because I got up and went out, and I saw a woman enjoying the cool air at the stone steps, with her back to me, her long black hair reaching to her waist, and a white paper fan in her hand, swaying from side to side in the hazy moonlight.

I was wondering which room the maid was so ignorant of the rules, so I went over and asked, "Girl, you are so interested, you don't sleep in the middle of the night and you hide outside my room and sing songs, could it be that you want to fill the room for Young Master Ben?" ”

I know most of the maids in the house, so I don't get annoyed, I just want to tease her.

The girl didn't speak, just got up leisurely and walked to the depths of the courtyard, I felt curious and followed, I saw the girl from the lantern on the side, I thought she was going to show me the way, so I nodded and smiled: "It seems that you still know the rules, and you know that you want to give the young master my lamp, young master, I promise to love you well......"

Before I could finish laughing, I saw the girl turn around slowly, and pick up the lantern, and then something strange happened, and the warm yellow light gradually turned into a green and faint one, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I stood on tiptoe to see the girl's appearance.

But I didn't even look at my eyebrows, my soul was almost scared away!

I saw dozens of tongues two fingers wide suddenly stretched out from the blue light, and with a pop, the lantern flew out in an instant, but fortunately I was still some distance away, and I was not caught by these tongues, but the spittle that flew out was fishy and smelly! I subconsciously staggered back a few steps, and with a sweep of my eyes, I caught a glimpse of these tongues connected to a bloody mouth, and where was the pretty girl in front of me, a living green-faced ghost!

The spittle from the demon's tongue flowed to the ground...... My legs were weak, I collapsed to the ground, only one breath was held in my throat, I really wanted to shout but couldn't shout, and when I struggled desperately with all my strength to feed, I jumped up from my own bed!

I let out a deep sigh and sighed, "It turned out to be a nightmare......

At this time, the sound of bangzi sounded, I listened quietly, it turned out that it was only the middle of the night, at this time the night outside the house was thick, I had palpitations, uneasy.

It's just that the dream is too real, and the sight of the blue-faced demon with a bloody mouth and a long tongue entangled around me, I just feel that it is vivid, and the real one can't be more real! At this moment, I am only looking forward to the light of day......

I sat at the head of the bed for a long time, and the sweat in my dream made my mouth dry, I hurriedly went to get the tea bowl to pour it indiscriminately, and stared at the door with both eyes, flustered, but I really realized what it was like to live like a year.

After sitting all night, and finally waiting until the sky was slightly bright, I realized that I felt like I had been holding my urine all night.

My lower abdomen was so distended that I hurriedly got up and opened the door, and as soon as I looked up, I shivered.

There was a man standing in front of the door with his back to me!

I was so scared! Secretly said that last night was not a dream!

This blue-faced demon is not afraid of the sun?

When I was trembling, I saw this man slowly turn around, and I hurriedly closed my eyes and did not dare to open them, but I heard a gentle voice.

"Fusheng, you are up! The housekeeper told me to change your mosquito net! I saw that you hadn't gotten up yet, so I waited here for a while. ”

I couldn't help but open my eyes, and it turned out that what I was looking at was not a blue-faced demon, but a middle-aged woman with a kind face.

This woman's name is Han Baoying, and she is my family's domestic helper, and I used to call her Aunt Han on weekdays.

This helper is not the same as the maid at home, the maid has signed a master-servant contract with the owner, and is a fixed servant, but the helper does not have such a guarantee, and it can be regarded as a temporary recruitment for short-term work, but this Aunt Han is a little different.

She has been working as a domestic helper in my family for a long time, and her short-term work is about to become a long-term job, why? My dad is to blame for that.

In addition to Rentai Commercial Bank, my father also managed a medicinal herb shop, named after my grandfather, called Lin Guangzong Medicinal Material Shop, this medicinal herb shop is a thankless business, because the medicine farmers in the countryside from time to time put Huaishan, Houttuynia cordata, starry and other things to sell on their backs, my father is a responsible person, and he pays for it without saying a word.

Regardless of whether this business makes money or not, fresh medicinal materials must be disposed of as soon as possible, and if they are not processed, they will rot soon!

And washing, drying, boiling, drying, slicing and other processes all need to be manual, the business of the medicinal herb shop is very light on weekdays, where can I afford so many people?

What to do? My dad had a bad idea.

When there was no manpower, he transferred manpower from home to the emergency. My mother is not angry, it is all up to him, but in this way, there is a shortage of maids in the family from time to time, and this Aunt Han has become a long-term worker like this, and over time, she has become very familiar with the Lu family.

But this person is also a little weird, how can it be weird?

She doesn't want money.

She doesn't want a penny, she has worked for my family for more than ten years, do you think this person is strange?

In fact, she doesn't want nothing, she doesn't want money, just food.

She doesn't live in my house, but in the Dominican Church, which is not far from my house, and is a volunteer in the Catholic Church.

Every day, she would collect some leftover meals and go back, basically working as a domestic helper for my family for free.

For more than ten years, the maids in the family have changed one after another, but she has always been there, and she has almost accompanied me from childhood to adulthood, and she is like a relative to me.

When she helped me clean up the things in the room, she gave me a cold look and I wondered.

"Aunt Han, am I wearing the wrong clothes?"

Aunt Han looked left and right for a moment, and when she saw that no one was pulling me aside, she stared at me again in a daze for a while before she came up with a sentence.

"Fusheng, are you provoking something unclean?"

When she asked, her eyes were very complicated, there were worries and concerns, and as soon as this sentence came out, I immediately felt relieved, and felt that I had finally found someone to talk to, so I told Aunt Han all the nightmares I had last night.

"Aunt Han, do you think I'm too careful?"

Aunt Han shook her head and said worriedly: "It is said that there are thoughts and dreams every day. Fusheng, think about it, when have you ever seen that kind of demon? ”

I touched my head and thought about it, shook my head and said, "I really haven't seen it, this demon has dozens of tongues, the tongue is two fingers wide, don't say I've seen it, I haven't even heard of it." ”

Aunt Han said: "That's right, you don't have to blame your aunt for talking too much, your aunt can be regarded as watching you grow up." Fusheng, do you believe Auntie's words? ”

I nodded loudly, and Aunt Han pulled me aside, and said with a divine voice: "Auntie used to be a guest teacher, and I saw that there seemed to be a black gas on your forehead, which was probably provoking something unclean." ”

This Hakka master is the Hakka people's saying, that is, the wizard who walks in the countryside, is the most eccentric type of person, it is said that from children to shock, to the evil spirits and exorcisms, Hakka teachers are indispensable.

Aunt Han said that she had been a guest teacher, these strange words, I didn't listen to it, but when I heard it, I was flustered, and I thought about it for a while, and sweat as big as soybeans appeared on my head. At this moment, Aunt Han said something, which made me feel a lot more relieved.

I only heard her say: "Don't worry, my aunt won't let you have an accident, and my aunt has a way to deal with these things." ”

At this time, I saw Aunt Han take out a sachet from her arms, this sachet is quite finely made, a white and chubby doll is embroidered with thread on the dark blue homespun cloth, the doll is wearing a red belly pocket to catch butterflies, the embroidery is really vivid. I thought Aunt Han was going to show me this sachet, but I didn't expect her next move to surprise me!

I saw that she grabbed the two corners of the sachet with both hands, but pulled it hard, and actually tore the sachet open.

She pulled something out of it, and I was even more surprised when I saw it.

It's not that I've never seen jade before, but it's the first time I've seen it like this.

The texture of this black jade is too bad, and the color of a silver dollar in the pawnshop on East Street is better than that of this thing.

A piece of jade that is black and does not slip in autumn, and there is no half of the moist color.

I smiled bitterly and said, "Auntie, where did you get this thing from?" ”

Aunt Han said with a solemn face: "Fusheng, don't speak, close your eyes." ”

I couldn't excuse her, so I had to close my eyes as she said.

At this time, I felt that this piece of black jade was gently pressed against my forehead, cold and cold, and at this moment I seemed to hear Aunt Han muttering a string of strange spells in her mouth, and she recited it very quickly, in an instant.

Then the jade was taken away, it was really strange, as soon as the jade was taken away, I actually felt that there seemed to be a cold breath on my forehead that was taken away, and when I opened my eyes, I suddenly felt refreshed, and my whole body was comfortable.

I sighed, touched my head and said, "Auntie, this thing really works?" ”

Aunt Han nodded at me, wrapped the black jade and carefully stuffed it back into her arms, but there was no joy on her face.

She cleaned up and said, "We'll see if it works." Don't go anywhere today, just stay at home, if these days are safe, then the evil spirit will be exorcized. ”

I listened to Aunt Han's words, and stayed in the study in addition to three meals that day, my mother thought that I had changed sex, and muttered about the blessing of my ancestors, and ran to the Buddhist hall to burn incense and make a wish, where would she know that I was looking at the spring palace in it.

Strange to say, after Aunt Han's toss, I slept much more peacefully that night and had no dreams all night.

I thought I would be safe from then on, but the next night, I started having nightmares again.

That night I fell into a dream, and it was pitch black all around, and in a short time there was a faint light in front of me. I subconsciously walked towards the light, and found that it was a huge stone door, about ten zhang high, and the stone door was half-hidden, and the light was faintly leaking through this gap.

I measured the size of the gap with my hands, and tried to squeeze out of the gap sideways, but as soon as I went out, I was shocked, surrounded by cliffs, not far away was a stone platform, there was a sharp axe on the stone platform, I felt a blink of an eye, and in a blink of an eye I found myself standing on the edge of the stone platform, and the ground was bubbling bright red blood, and in a short time it had overflowed my ankles, flies and mosquitoes flew everywhere, and after a while it was stinking.

The stone door that was half-hidden before slowly opened, and countless people came out of the stone gate, lined up in a long line, until they came to my eyes, these people were all stunned and expressionless, it was really weird.

Without warning, the person in front of me suddenly knelt down on the stone platform, and what happened next made me gasp.

I found that my body was uncontrollable, and I broke out in a cold sweat, and then my arms swung up with a sharp axe and slashed down in one fell swoop.

The man lying on the stone platform didn't make a sound, his head was cut off, and he rolled to the edge of the cliff not far away.

At this point, I was about to go crazy, but what happened next made me completely desperate.

I saw dozens of tongues suddenly emerge from the edge of the pitch-black cliff, and the bloody human head was rolled up and thrown into the air.

A bloody mouth swallowed the human head, and then a huge grimace appeared, this is the same demon I had seen in the courtyard before, only it was too huge, about twenty feet high, and countless tongues danced in the air!

I can't imagine that I would encounter such a thing in my life!

Now it's right in front of me, and I can't be more frightened!

But before the matter was over, the people behind came over one by one, and I raised my knife and slashed the heads of those people one by one.

The blood on my neck spurted all over my body, and I was still waving the blade in my hand regardless of it, such a cruel scene, I ...... I'm going crazy!

Faintly, I seemed to hear someone calling me "Fusheng", and everything around me blurred for a moment and became clear, and then the vision happened.

Suddenly, I saw a glimmer of light in the darkness, and a crack seemed to suddenly open in the void, and suddenly a large hand stretched out from the gap, and this hand grabbed me and pulled me in.

At that time, I felt that my eyes flickered, and in just a moment, my eyes suddenly lit up very blindly.

Then I smelled a foul smell, I was groggy and shook my head subconsciously, and the surroundings gradually became clear.

I raised my hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of my mouth, tilted my head to look, and found that I was in a pigsty in the backyard of my home, with a large spoon in my left hand, surrounded by dozens of pigs, who were arching me with their noses!

Beyond the pigsty were anxious faces of my father and mother, and as I turned my head, I saw Aunt Han crouching in front of my eyes, her hands removing from my chest.

I found that there was an extra square pendant on my chest, and I didn't know what it was, but when I saw it clearly, I realized that it was the piece of ink jade that Aunt Han had helped me ward off evil spirits before.

Aunt Han smiled bitterly at me, "Thank God! Fusheng, you have woken up. “

At this time, I realized that I was naked, and I couldn't help but let out a miserable "ah".

My father looked angry, pointed at my mother and scolded: "Look at what you are used to, Master Zheng can't preach, now you have to go to the house to expose the tiles, and everything will be a disaster for this loser in the future!" What a misfortune for the family! “

I hurriedly took the clothes thrown by the family on the side, drooped my head and ran back to my study.

Strange to say, since Aunt Han hung that pendant around my neck, I no longer have nightmares, and those purgatory-like horrors that I had seen in my dreams seemed to disappear in an instant.

I also looked at this pendant carefully, it was a square black jade with very poor quality, a black piece, when I was in the pigsty, I thought it was a piece of pig.

But a piece of jade is so magical, my curiosity rose again, and later I asked a few times when I saw Aunt Han, but Aunt Han didn't say whether she was alive or dead, just said that this piece of black jade is an ancestral thing to ward off evil spirits, let me take it with me, but don't tell others, and don't show it in front of people.

Aunt Han just whispered to me once: "Fusheng, don't be afraid if you want to see some black gas or something like that in the future." ”

So I asked, "Why?" ”

"No, why," Aunt Han smiled at me and said, "These things can't hurt you, they're all afraid of you......"

Then there was nothing, and I didn't have time to think about it, just because after experiencing such a thing as going crazy, the capital crime could be avoided and the living crime could not be escaped, and my father's punishment came, and it was my mother who personally persuaded me.

My mother said that I am also fifteen years old, and I am going to be an adult next year, so I always have to find something to do.

As soon as I heard this, I was happy in my heart, as the so-called sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps, I can't wait to go out! In fact, I don't like to read in the first place, but now I can follow my second uncle around, and I can see the world.

I thought that from now on it would be peaceful for eternity, but I knew that this was just the beginning.
