Chapter 16: The Legendary Ghost Eater
What an interesting grave picker, like a grave robber.
We walked for a long time and saw the whole mushroom mountain, where there was a lot of bush and fallen leaves covered the whole mountain.
We wandered around this bleak and cold place for a long time, until dusk, Sister Huang, don't wander around when it's dark, there are too many unknown things on the mountain, it's better to go back.
I don't know if she deliberately scared us, but I felt a sudden chill behind her, and Brother Zhou yelled to go back.
The three of us rode home, and saw my mother-in-law and Uncle Tun'er sitting at the door, they didn't know what they were discussing, but when they saw us, my mother-in-law smiled even more happily.
……
After eating at seven o'clock, Sister Huang also bought soju, which tasted wonderful; Of course, because Uncle Tun'er is also there.
Brother Zhou, who didn't dare to eat for fear of poisoning, also moved his chopsticks. For a while, I, Brother Zhou, Sister Huang and Uncle Tun'er, we chatted happily.
When Brother Zhou said how happy he was today and what good scenery he saw, Uncle Tun'er and I had another drink.
Uncle Tun'er drank too much and was a little drunk. So he opened his heart and talked to us, maybe he lived alone in the mountains, it was really lonely, and he talked a lot.
One of the stories that stuck with me was very memorable.
He was sitting in front of a candle with a flickering figure, and he held a wine glass and told a story from his childhood: "I dropped out of school at the age of 14 because the only private school teacher died of illness. On the first seven days of my husband, I cried a lot. I heard my grandfather say that people can return to their souls when they die, so on the first seven days, I went up to Mushroom Mountain alone. ”
"Mushroom Mountain?" I glanced at Brother Zhou.
"Yes, there are rules in this place, three days after death, you must send it to Mushroom Mountain, otherwise it will be unlucky. My private school teacher, the body and coffin were sent to the mushroom hill together. Uncle Tun'er's eyes flickered, took another sip of soju, and continued: "I was alone that night, and secretly ran to Mushroom Mountain, hoping to confide in the teacher, so I braved the cold wind and ran over alone. ”
"Aren't you afraid?" Brother Zhou himself was a little scared, and hurriedly asked.
"Afraid? What do children know, I ran all the way over, tired and sweaty, and finally saw the master's coffin. It was dark at the time, and I couldn't see anything clearly, when I heard the mountain wind whistling and the leaves rattling. ”
"And then?" Brother Zhou looked at Uncle Tun'er.
"I accidentally got mixed with a lump of stones, and I fell on the rocks, and then I couldn't get up." Uncle Tun'er continued: "At that time, I was less than ten meters away from the coffin, and the night was so dark that I couldn't see anything, and I couldn't get up if I wanted to. ”
We listened to it and let Uncle Tun'er continue to speak.
He continued, "I can't get up, but my eyes can see, and I look at this coffin from afar, and its lid is open." ”
"Open?" Brother Zhou was really taken aback, and I was also shocked.
But Uncle Tun'er quipped: "Look at you, what are you afraid of, maybe the coffin lid was originally open, that's what I thought at the time, but later, I heard a strange sound, this voice, this sound is like the sound of a mouse burrowing." ”
"And then? And then what! The three of them spoke in unison.
"Then, then I saw a big crow crawl out of it. It's huge, the size of a pig. And ......" Uncle Tun'er took another sip to moisten his throat.
I couldn't help it: "You read it wrong, how can there be a crow bigger than a pig?" ”
"Hey, I don't know, it's not scary, the key is that when the crow turned around, it turned out to be a human face, an old man's face, two eyes will glow, and there is something hanging on the corner of the mouth." Uncle Tun'er himself was a little scared, but he still said: "It climbed on the lid of the coffin, and flew away with a swish, and since then, I have never seen the old man again." ”
"The big crow with a human head?"
"Yes, I'll go back and tell my father, my father said that the crow is a human change, and eats people's souls everywhere, and Mr. Private School must have done something bad to have this retribution."
"Uncle Tun'er, are you mistaken?" Sister Huang was also very afraid of these supernatural statements and asked.
"No way, I can see it, that's what it is. It's just that no one knows what bad things this private school teacher has done, and he's still a mystery! ”
I believe that there are ghosts in this world, but I'm going to ask the Spirit Pupil, which is more authoritative in this regard.
……
Uncle Tun'er talked to us a lot, and before we knew it, it was almost nine o'clock, and since the town was a bit far away, we had to leave immediately, otherwise there would be no place to sleep tonight.
Uncle Tun'er drove us to the intersection of the tractor, and the three of us walked over together. It's only about three or four miles, and he is embarrassed to continue to trouble Uncle Tun'er, so he left drunk.
We were still walking on the gravel road, and the moonlight was not very bright, and Uncle Tun'er's words kept echoing in my mind, lingering.
Sister Huang and I walked in front, and as we walked, we felt that there was one less person. Sister Huang shouted: "Xiao Zhou, what are you doing?" ”
He stopped moving with his back to us, and stood leaning on his face, still shaking from time to time.
I called out too, but he didn't answer......
Sister Huang was a little scared, I took her hand and slowly approached Brother Zhou, there were only three of us on the road, and it was unusually quiet.
I was so close that I could barely breathe.
Brother Zhou kept shaking, very weird, I wanted to take a detour in front of him to take a look, and then Brother Zhou suddenly turned around: Ghost!
Sister Huang screamed in fright and almost threw herself into my arms.
"Haha, hahaha......"
Immediately, Brother Zhou covered his stomach and laughed: "Haha, how is it, was you scared by me?" Xiaodong. ”
I had the urge to beat him up at the time, and yelled at him: "Sister Huang is here, people are scary, scared to death, do you know?" ”
He was buried by me, and suddenly smiled: "I'm sorry, Sister Huang, I didn't think about it so much." ”
Sister Huang patted her heaving chest and said, "It's nothing, you, you're just looking for a fight, don't do this in the future, let's go quickly, it's still ten minutes, and we'll be in town." ”
Along the way, Sister Huang held my arm, which made me suddenly manly, and Brother Zhou, we let him walk in front, so as not to make him funny.
……
I stayed in a small hotel, but I only had two rooms.
Sister Huang said that she was afraid, so she opened a double room with two beds; Brother Zhou stuck out his tongue at me, his eyebrows and eyes were full of bad thoughts, and he said when he left:
"What are you calling me in time?"
