Chapter 1: The Old Man in the Coffin

Next Chapter

What is different, different is abnormal, incredible, common sense cannot be explained, and it hangs and hangs.

In our countryside, there are three things that cannot be touched, the head of a man, the waist of a woman, and the object of the dead. If you touch the first two things, someone will naturally clean you up, and if you touch the latter one, the ghost will be haunted. I almost lost my life because I moved the deceased's things and got into trouble.

I am a little devil in our village, I don't go to the house for three days, and every day I take a group of children up the mountain to touch the birds and go down to the river to fish. Stealing watermelons in the summer, sweet potatoes in the winter, and breaking people's window panes in three or two days, I have always been glad that I was not killed by the villagers.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, an old man in the village could not withstand the cold winter, and froze to death at night.

The public hall is located on the left side of the village entrance, under a large tree, which requires four adults to hold hands to enclose it. The public hall is actually a simple tiled house, with a window, a doorless door frame, and the outside of the house is painted with white paint. In broad daylight, you can only see a white house and two black holes from the front, and even in broad daylight, you can't see the structure and furnishings of the house until you walk up to it. There were no electric lights in the house, candles or kerosene lamps were usually used, and there was a long table in the back of the house for people to place offerings, and in the middle was a stone coffin without a coffin lid. At this time, the person lying inside was the old man who died on the first day of the new year.

The old man lay peacefully in the coffin, there were still a few pillars of incense burning on the table, there was only one corpse left in the public hall, and the family was busy with other things during the New Year, and the public hall was empty at this time.

And I happened to pass by there, and when I saw that it was empty, I had the idea of going in and bragging to mine tomorrow with my younger brothers, so as to establish my prestige.

So, alone, I crossed the threshold without a door, and the dim kerosene lamp, the stench of rotting flesh, and the shade under the big trees were all vividly felt by my cerebral cortex. I didn't dare to look into the coffin, and I couldn't see it either, but it was on a stone platform about a meter above the ground. However, at this moment, there was a rumbling sound, and I was hungry. As far as the eye can see, the table is full of offerings, so I grabbed a red apple and bit it, not to mention, it's quite sweet, strange, we are rich in green apples, this family is really rich, and they can buy red apples. At this time, the kerosene lamp was printed on the wall, and the red wall was bright, and I felt like I was about to drip blood, and I looked at the house, and when I finished eating the apples, and was about to cross the threshold, I thought that someone had pushed me from behind, and I hooked the threshold, knocked down the house in front of the door, and then walked away.

On the way home, I felt fluttering, and when I got home, I didn't eat dinner, so I went to bed early.

Soon, I fell asleep.

In a triangular forest, I stood in the middle, the trees were frantically squeezing in the middle, I was squeezed to the ground, my breathing became weaker and weaker, and I was about to kick the door and I was dying, the trees dispersed in a triangle again, I was saved, I was holding back a cold sweat, panting, and my mother was watching me.

My mother quickly sat at the head of the bed and hugged me: "It's a nightmare, good, it's okay, mom is here, we're not afraid."

For the next two days, I stayed in bed, not eating or drinking, as soon as the mosquito net was put down, I said some nonsense that I didn't understand, and as soon as my parents opened the mosquito net, I returned to normal, and then I had a high fever.

My mother realized that the situation was not right, so she went to invite the fortune teller in the village, and as soon as the husband arrived at my house, he frowned, went straight to my bedside, bit his middle finger, and put a drop of blood on my forehead. The gentleman sat in front of my bed and looked at me: "Tell me, what have you done lately, you have angered the femininity, do you know it?"

I immediately remembered that I had entered the public hall on the first day of the new year, but my parents were next to me and I didn't dare to say anything, so I shook my head.

The gentleman raised his voice: "You have already angered the femininity, if you don't tell me again, you will wait for death."

"Child, if you have anything, you can tell your husband, and Mom doesn't blame you."

I was stunned by how my husband was frightened, and said hesitantly: "I went into the public hall on the afternoon of the first day of the new year and ate an apple on the table,"

"How dare you go to that kind of place, I told you that children can't go to that kind of place," he said, picking up a broom and slashing it at me.

Mother's actions were stopped by Mr.: "Today is the fifth day of the new year, the old man in the public hall died on the first day of the first month, and he has been buried on the fourth day of the new year, which is a bit tricky, he is now asking for your life."

When my mother heard this, "Sir, you save my child, he is still young and ignorant, I can give you any amount of money."

"I know, if you do as I say, you will be fine," said the gentleman, "Now go and prepare ten catties of glutinous rice to grind into flour, and get some worship offerings, incense paper, especially apples, prepare a little luxury, quickly, and use it before dark."

My parents hurriedly went to prepare, and it was not easy to buy these things just after the New Year. The gentleman took out a yellow talisman from his pocket, recited a few incantations that I did not understand, and then threw the talisman into a bowl of water, and it spontaneously combusted, this is in the water, which is as magical as magic in my eyes at the age of ten.

In the evening, the parents returned.

My parents gave me what I needed, and he took a big rooster with a bright red crested head from my coop, put the chicken on my bed, and tapped the head of the rooster with his hand, and the rooster lay on my bed, not noisy, and then the husband took his parents to his house, and told them to come home at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, when the sun rose.

"Sir, please, my son's life will be handed over to you!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it after collecting the money."

Then, I went up the mountain with my husband. "Sir, where are we going?" I asked.

"Go find the old man's grave, we're going to visit him."

When I heard this, my face turned green with fright: "Sir, can I not go, I'm afraid."

"No, you have to go, don't be afraid, I'm here." The gentleman said confidently.

Thinking of my husband's ability to keep the rooster from noisy or noisy, I comforted myself that it would be fine. I followed Mr. up the hill in a hurry.

It has been dark for a long time, the sky tonight is extraordinarily dark, it is already nine o'clock on the mountain, my husband and I came to a tomb, the incense in front of the tomb is still burning, and there are some incense paper on the ground, obviously the old man's family has just left, looking at the name on the stele, confirming that it is the old man's tomb.

The gentleman sprinkled the ground glutinous rice flour around the cemetery to form a circle, then set up the offerings, lit candles and incense, and told me to kneel in front of the grave with him. In less than an hour, my legs were numb, and I couldn't sit on the ground anymore, and my husband looked at me: "I ignored that you are still a child, and you can't kneel for that long." So he drew a circle around me, recited some words I didn't understand, snapped off a branch next to me, swept my head, and nodded a drop of cinnabar on my forehead.

In an instant, I felt as if I had disappeared, and I could not feel the shade on the mountain, as if I had become one with these trees, and Mr. had made me invisible. I looked at my husband with a question in my eyes. The gentleman motioned for me to remain silent. I just don't ask.

It's about twelve o'clock, and the time for a pillar of incense is 30 minutes, which has been repeated several times. Suddenly, the wind blew very fast, and the birds flapped their wings and cried away as if enchanted, and some small animals were scurrying among the weeds. "Birds and beasts, this is not a good sign." The gentleman frowned and muttered a few times.

After a while, the wind stopped, and I wondered how the candle was just crumbling but not extinguishing under the blowing of the gale. Suddenly, I felt something appear in front of the tomb, and I looked at the tomb intently, but I didn't see anything. The gentleman also stared at the tomb, and the gentleman suddenly said in a loud voice: "The things have been returned to you twice, you have to get by, take these offerings, spare the child, you go your ghost way, I will go my way." My husband kept staring at the grave, but I couldn't see anything.

I looked at him urgently, and he wiped a leaf from my eyes and tapped my ear, "Now you can see him, but you can't hear him, you can't hear, you'll be fascinated." ”

So I looked at the grave, and oh my! There was a man, no, a ghost sat on the monument, the old man didn't see me, I was still in the circle of the gentleman, this scared me lightly.

The old man's mouth was closed, and he was obviously speaking, but I didn't hear anything.

"I don't deserve to die, I just fell, but my son and daughter-in-law thought I was cumbersome, so they buried me, and the people in the village didn't let them make a big move, which was exactly what they wanted, and I was buried hastily, I was starved to death, starved to death! Can you relate to my pain? I will succeed that little baby's life, and ask my son and daughter-in-law to come down and serve me, and I want them to die! ”

"Evil beasts! This half-immortal enterprise can let you succeed, there must be a reason, it must be that you have too many unsavory things in your life, and you will end up with this end after death, old ghost, if you dare to follow the life of that little baby, I will let your soul fly away. The gentleman yelled!

Z hee-hee, the old ghost laughed, and ran towards Mr., Mr. immediately put his hands on his chest, but was thrown out by the old ghost, and the old ghost took the opportunity to run down the mountain.

The glutinous rice flour on the ground has played a role, the old ghost has one step at a time, the interval between the footprints is about three meters, it is really surprising, the strange thing is that the footprints can only see the front foot of the old ghost, I asked Mr., Mr. said: "After the death of the person, there is no yang fire, only the heavenly fire and the earth fire, the heavenly fire and the earth fire are cast into another person when entering the reincarnation, so the soul of the person can only float or point to the ground on the tiptoes, unless pretending, it is difficult to be down-to-earth, this old ghost has half a foot, indicating that the obsession is very deep, I am afraid it is not easy to deal with."

It's hard to walk at night, not to mention the night road in the mountains, my husband and I have been chasing the footprints, but we haven't seen the trace of the old ghost, and when we reach the end of the footprints, it's almost dawn. But I found out that the old ghost actually went to my house, and my husband was really clever enough to take my parents away.

As soon as we entered the door, it was as if we had entered another world, and the walls of my house had become a wall of blood flowing with blood, and the floor was full of bones, and the old ghost was lying in a sarcophagus that was in the same position as my bed. The old ghost was in the sarcophagus, sucking the blood of the chicken, the head of the chicken had been screwed off, the feathers were scattered in a sarcophagus, the old ghost took the rooster for me, if I were lying on the bed, if there was no husband, thinking of this, my hairs all stood up.

"Just a fantasy!" My husband bit his middle finger and slammed it on the ground, and my home was restored to its original state.

The old ghost was still sucking chicken blood on the bed, and suddenly saw me, and then looked at the chicken in his hand, and was furious, and attacked me directly, Mr. immediately took out a stack of charms, and threw them at the old ghost, the old ghost was very afraid of the charm, and he had been dodging, and he couldn't get close to me. The gentleman hurriedly told me to go out first, and I hurried out and watched from afar. After throwing the spell, the gentleman took out another copper coin sword and fought directly with the old ghost.

"Stinky Daoist, don't do anything bad to repay me, before I solve that little baby, I will suck your soul first."

"Evil animal, I have already given you a chance, and if you insist on not entering reincarnation, I will let you be scattered in this world. Besides, I hate others calling me a Taoist priest the most, Lao Tzu is a half-immortal, a phase teacher! "The gentleman kept scolding the old ghost, as if he wanted to overwhelm the old ghost in momentum.

"Whoa, whoa—"

A rooster crowed, the sky was already slightly bright, and the gentleman exerted his strength again, as if he was going to drag it until dawn to continue the fight with the old ghost. The old ghost saw that the situation was not good, and he ran desperately, and the old ghost ran out of the door and saw me, "Little baby, you can't see the sun tomorrow!" "After saying that, the thief who runs is fast. The gentleman came out of the house, "Let him run away, I'll go!" Then he sat on the ground and gasped desperately...
