Chapter 140: That Night

Luo Xin sobbed and cried, refusing to say a word.

In desperation, I dragged him out of the yard and went for a walk on the edge of the rice field at the head of the village.

The warm sun shines on your body, the breeze is mixed with the smell of life, and the croaking of frogs sounds from time to time in the rice fields, everything seems so quiet and beautiful.

We walked slowly, and the soft dirt was comfortable to step on. Luo Xin's mood gradually quieted down.

"Uncle, I don't think I'll ever try something like that again!"

Her voice was soft, soft, as if she had matured all at once after that incident.

But she called me uncle, which still made me a little awkward.

I let out an "um" and didn't answer.

It's not because she calls me uncle, but I know that if she hadn't spoken out about it, it wouldn't have worked very well.

"Ugh."

Luo Xin sighed softly.

"That ghost street, I went to when I was a child, maybe even my mother didn't know about it.

At that time, I had just entered elementary school, and it seemed that I was in the second grade, and once my mother and father had a quarrel, and they didn't send me off in the morning, and I got on the wrong bus alone, and I got to the street behind the ghost street.

I was scared and stood alone in the street crying. ”

Luo Xin spoke in a low voice, and I had to pay full attention to hear clearly, completely oblivious to my surroundings.

"Crying and crying, I saw an old woman selling sugar gourds coming across the street, there were a lot of cars on the street at that time, and she was stopped in the middle halfway through the walk, and she didn't dare to go forward.

I didn't know where I got the courage at that time, so I ran out into the street and reached for the passing cars and helped the old woman over.

She gave me a string of sugar gourds and said she wanted to thank me.

That's the sweetest sugar gourd I've ever tasted. ”

Luo Xin was completely caught up in his own memories and stopped unconsciously.

"I told her I was lost and didn't know how to get home.

She thought about it for a moment and said she was going to take me to her house and then send me home.

I happily followed her across the street and saw the row of very tall walls.

The old woman told me that it was not a wall, it was a house, and that many beautiful sisters used to live in it.

We walked through the narrow alley and arrived at the ghost street.

But at that time, I didn't know it was called Ghost Street, and the old grandmother told me at the time that that the street was called Hualiu Lane.

She took me around the street and then turned into an alley.

I was staring at her sugar gourd all the way, not noticing what the street was like at all, only remembering the bluestone road under my feet.

She led me into a very small yard, and I remember only one house.

I inadvertently pushed open the door and saw a young lady in green standing there smiling at me. But her body is full of sugar gourds!

I was scared and cried, but when I looked again, the young lady was gone.

The old grandmother picked me up and comforted me while angrily swearing at the corner, saying things like 'get out of here' and 'I'll kill you if I see it again'.

Later, she gave me a string of sugar gourds, and I soon forgot about seeing the young lady.

That day, the night came very quickly, and I hadn't finished the steamed chicken cake that my grandmother had steamed for me, when suddenly it began to be cloudy, and the dark clouds quickly covered the sun that was about to set.

The old lady seemed to be in a hurry, snatched the bowl from my hand, picked me up and walked out, saying things like it was too late.

She took me in her arms and told me to close my eyes, and I fell asleep very quickly.

When I woke up, I was already at the door.

She never asked me where my family lived, and I don't know how she got me back.

She didn't let me into the house, but kissed me and told me to go play later.

After saying that, he turned around and left.

It was raining heavily, and when I knocked on the door and looked back, she was gone.

Later, I gradually forgot about it.

Last month, when I was chatting in a group, I suddenly remembered the old grandmother who sold sugar gourds.

Seven or eight years have passed, and I don't know if she's still there. And I've never been too scared of ghost streets, thinking that it's just a terrifying atmosphere created by boring word of mouth.

I thought, let's go back and see. ”

As she said this, her expression became tense, and she grabbed my hand, her nails almost digging into the flesh.

"I had heard that the street was full of shops selling funeral goods, but I didn't expect it to be so terrifying!

When I first saw the coffin shop, I was already scared.

I built a video room, and if I left immediately, I was afraid they would laugh at me.

I thought I would finish the street and go home immediately. ”

Luo Xin grabbed my hand and almost used all his strength, and his slender fingers lost their blood color due to the exertion, and his body began to tremble slightly.

"But, when I was halfway there, I saw an invisible grandmother walking alone on the road, and it was so late, and although I was scared, I still wanted to help her."

I saw all of what she said in the video, but I didn't interrupt her.

At that time, I immediately remembered the old woman, and although I was very scared, I went over and asked her if she wanted me to take her home.

She thanked me at the time, so I sent her back, and according to her description, we walked all the way to the yard gate in an alley. I was going to leave immediately, but suddenly there was a strange sound in the courtyard, a bit like someone had fallen, and I subconsciously took a look inside. ”

When he said this, Luo Xin's voice also began to tremble.

"I, I saw a woman! She was wearing a pink cheongsam with a thick layer of white powder on her face. It's not the kind of makeup, but it's like it's been smeared with water, probably due to the dryness and cracking, it has dried up, and it falls off piece by piece with the movement of her body, revealing the rotten and shriveled skin inside!

I was so scared that I was about to turn around, but I found that my body couldn't move! She walked up to me step by step, stretched out a hand that had exposed her bones, and slowly held my chin.

I couldn't even close my eyes, I could only watch the brown tongue sticking out of her mouth gradually approaching my face and reaching into my mouth... Yes!... ”

Luo Xin suddenly screamed and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.

I put my hand on her shoulder, patted it gently, and didn't speak.

This is a knot in her heart, no one can help her, she can only come out on her own, be able to face everything that happened that day, only in this way, can she start life again.
