Chapter 19: The Night of Chasing Souls

Since I was a child, my mother has paid special attention to my learning, and after pulling me up, my mother's first words were: "Did you do your homework?" ”

I said "no" and went back to my bedroom to do my homework.

Strange to say, I felt groggy all morning, but as soon as I sat down at my desk, I suddenly became very awake. At that time, I didn't think much about it, so I grabbed my textbook and workbook from my school bag and started doing my summer homework.

In fact, I still can't figure out why elementary school students should be assigned homework during summer vacation. The key is that we started doing our summer homework at that time, starting from the first day of vacation, and we couldn't finish it until the beginning of school.

But in this summer vacation, if it weren't for such a never-ending summer vacation homework, the inheritance of the right line would be broken in Lao Chaitou's generation. The never-ending summer vacation homework saved my life, or rather, it was the gadgets on the desk that saved me.

This summer vacation,It can be regarded as the most boring summer vacation in my elementary school days.,Summer vacation homework can't be done.,There's only one TV.,Because the family has no money.,My dad hasn't closed the route.,And there are no children of the same age as me in the whole community.,I was alone at home for two and a half months.,Almost suffocated something wrong with me.。

During these days, the people I missed the most were Lao Chai Tou and my uncle.

That is, for more than two months, my dad and my mom were always sick, although there was no serious illness, either mouth ulcers, or rashes on the body, or a slight headache. These illnesses have little to no impact on daily life, but they can be uncomfortable.

In addition, during these two months, our family has become very sleepy, especially my mother, who has to get up at four or five o'clock every morning and always says that she can't sleep enough.

However, no one particularly cares about these large and small anomalies, and they don't bother to care.

This situation lasted until the last night of the holiday.

That day, I went to bed at nine o'clock as usual. This summer vacation, I slept very deeply every night, but I don't know what happened this day, I tossed and turned in bed for a long time and couldn't sleep, but the more I couldn't sleep, the more sleepy I felt.

It was a strange feeling, like I was awake and yet I felt like I was in a dream.

In the middle of the night, the wind suddenly blew outside the window, the wind was very strong, and there were bursts of "whine" sounds from time to time between the window and the window edge, and in this sound, I could faintly hear a woman's cry, at first I didn't really hear it, I only knew that someone was crying and muttering something. But slowly, the cry became clear, and I could clearly hear a woman saying repeatedly: "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm me." ”

There was a strong resentment in her tone, and the voice was eerie, making people's scalps tingle. In addition, I had the feeling that these words were said to me. I felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at me outside the window, I was closed, I wasn't looking out of the window, but I just felt like there were eyes.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the window, and there was a particularly rapid "thump" sound, and all the cold hairs on my back stood on end.

Then I heard a "bang", and the window that had been locked inside was pushed open.

I knew in my heart that it was useless to pretend to be asleep, so I quickly got up from the bed, and when I got up, I glanced at the window, and I saw a woman in a red dress with her hair scattered, crawling down the window into the house, I couldn't see her face clearly, only that she was staring at me with very sad eyes.

When I lived in Wangzhuang before, Lao Chai Tou also handed me some ways to deal with evil spirits, but I was scared and nervous, I couldn't remember anything, the first thing I did after getting out of bed was to run to the writing desk, I wanted to grab a gadget given by Lao Chai Tou, at that time I didn't know that these gadgets could be used to ward off evil spirits, but these gadgets at least made me feel a little relieved.

But when I rushed to the desk, I found that there was nothing on the desk except a lamp. All the gadgets that Lao Chai gave me are gone!

I panicked, but I saw that the woman had crawled in through the window, and my mind was almost blank at the time, but I hadn't forgotten to run away.

When I came out of my bedroom, I wanted to rush to my parents' room. My parents never closed the door when they slept at night, but on this day, their bedroom door was locked, and I couldn't push it open no matter how hard I tried.

The woman followed me out of the bedroom, she walked very slowly, but she was getting closer and closer to me, her dress was as red as blood, I only looked at it, and I was dazzled by the blood, and then I felt that the whole person became dizzy, and stood in place, and watched her walk towards me step by step.

"Still stunned! Run! ”

I don't know who shouted in my ear, but I came to my senses, opened the door, and ran out wearing a pair of boxers.

When I went out, the woman in the red dress was still following me behind me, and I didn't know where to run, but when I looked up and saw a bright moon in the night sky, I ran in the direction of the moon.

I ran barefoot on the road, and every time the soles of my feet touched the ground, I had a very unreal feeling, as if the ground was made of cotton, and my feet were about to sink into the ground, and every time the soles of my feet touched the ground, I felt that my knees were numb and soft, as if I didn't use any strength at all.

I felt that I was not running fast, but the scenery around me quickly moved behind me, and unconsciously, I seemed to have run through most of the county, ran through the path of Wangzhuang, and saw a very old earthen house on the mountain of mass graves in the distance.

It's the old chaitou family!

The moment I saw the earthen house, I felt a sense of relief, but I didn't know why, and I always felt that something was wrong.

Then I looked back and saw the woman in red standing in the distance, I couldn't see her face clearly, I only knew that she was staring at me viciously, and the moonlight was shining on her, but it didn't leave a shadow behind her.

She's not human!

Although I had already guessed that she was evil, when I found out that she had no shadow, I couldn't help but shudder in my heart.

The door of Lao Chai Tou's house was in front of me, and I almost didn't think about it, I raised my hand and slammed the door.

Just as I was knocking on the door, I heard someone shouting from behind: "Don't knock......

I could tell from the sound that the person who was shouting this time was the same person who had asked me to run away before.

"Hey, can you see me?" The voice asked me anxiously.

I couldn't see her, so I shook my head, but in my heart it always felt familiar.

After that, I heard her sigh and say, "Alas, I've been tricked, I can't help it, I'll wronged you." ”

As soon as the words fell, I felt a chill on my left arm, and then, the surrounding scene changed all of a sudden, the mass grave mountain was gone, the old Chai Tou's house was gone, and I found myself standing in front of Mrs. Li's house, with my hand still on their door.

And beside me, there is a little girl who looks about my age, and I know her, the last time I met Fei Fei at the entrance of the village, she was also able to save me. At this time, the little girl was holding my left arm.

As soon as I was about to speak, the little girl made a silent gesture to me, and then said triumphantly, "Look, I saved you again, how can you repay me?" Don't talk! I know you want to say it, but I can't stand your yang energy. Okay, okay, hurry home, this Li Jushi is not a good thing, you have to go to Chai Ye for your business. By the way, when you see Chai Ye, don't say that you have seen me. Also, when I got home, I quickly removed the lock on the door beam! That's all, bye-bye! ”

After saying this, the little girl disappeared without a trace, and I wondered if she had really appeared. I glanced behind me again, and it was empty, how could there be any female ghosts!

At this time, the footsteps of Mrs. Li came from the yard, she was walking, muttering something in her mouth, I couldn't understand what she was saying, but as soon as her voice sounded in the yard, I felt a little groggy in my head.

I didn't dare to stop at the door of Mrs. Li's house, so I hurried home.

As soon as I got home, I grabbed a mop from the kitchen and removed the brass lock from the door beam. The copper lock made a loud noise when it hit the ground, waking my dad and my mom.

I heard my dad sitting up from the bed, and then my mom called out to me, "Yangyang, what are you doing?" ”

I didn't respond, I ran into the bedroom first and looked at my desk, but fortunately, the treasures that Lao Chai Tou gave me were still there. In this way, I breathed a sigh of relief, ran into my parents' bedroom again, pounced on my dad, and started crying.

After many years, looking back now, I still admire myself. At that time, I was only eight years old, and I was actually about to collapse when I saw the female ghost in red, and then I even came home with a breath, broke the copper lock, and saw that the things that Lao Chai Tou gave me were not lost, until everything was taken care of, and then I began to collapse.

That night, I kept sobbing, and I couldn't remember how I could tell the whole story, except vaguely that I seemed to have lied and concealed that the little girl had appeared.

After that, my dad put the copper lock in a small box and put it in the drawer of the TV cabinet.

This night, our family of three spent the night in trembling, not daring to turn on the lights, for fear that Mrs. Li would see it, and at the same time pricking up our ears to listen to the movement outside, for fear that Mrs. Li would come to the door.
