My mother pulled me over and said she was going to give me something, and I waited curiously, watching her pick up a red cotton jacket and cotton pants without patches and red cotton shoes from the bed behind her.

I looked down at the red rope on my wrist and frowned unconsciously, thinking to myself: why red again?

But I put it on silently, and my gut told me it was good for me.

In the evening, my mother didn't let me eat dinner, and locked me in a room with a water tank in each of the four corners.

The second grandfather got a Buddha statue out of nowhere, and asked me to kneel in front of the Buddha statue tonight, not allowed to speak, not allowed to move, and no one called it.

At night, it was quiet outside the window, there was no sound at all, and it was a little too quiet.

I opened my eyes wide and looked at the dark room, the fear in my heart eroded my heart little by little, and my body began to tremble inexplicably, and I looked back from time to time, but I couldn't see anything.

It was so dark in the room, somehow there was a moon in the sky, but not a trace of moonlight could penetrate it, and it was the same with the eyes open as it was closed.

Although the second grandfather sat in the dark room with me, he sat cross-legged in the corner, motionless, silent, with him and without him, it was the same, which could not give me a sense of security.

What people fear most is not ghosts, but the unknown!

Let's take the most common example, when some people walk at night, they always feel that someone is following behind, and they frequently turn back but can't see anything, which leads to fear in their hearts, walking faster and faster, and finally having to run.

In fact, this is the fear of the unknown, because you don't know when something will pop up behind you, so you will be cranky and add panic to yourself.

In fact, there is nothing at all!

I belong to this phenomenon now, obviously there is nothing behind me, I am so scared in my heart, I can't wait for a pair of eyes to come out on my back!

I don't know what my father and mother think, let me squat alone in the little dark room, and still dress so festively, and stay all night, with a statue on the table in front of me!

Isn't that going to scare the rhythm out of me?

They know I'm cowardly, and they do it! I lamented: Fahai, take me quickly!

I don't know how long it took, but the night was getting deep, and I couldn't bear it anymore, so I really wanted to climb on the ground and sleep without thinking about anything.

Originally, it should be very hot to be locked in an impermeable room in a padded jacket in the summer, but I always felt that the wind poured into the clothes, and it was all cold up and down, but it was a little cold.

When I remembered that my second grandfather once told me those ghost stories, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart. Looking back at Second Grandpa Chen, who was not visible at all, the fear in his heart had not decreased by half a point.

I didn't dare to touch my kneeling numb knees, and I learned from the way the monk worshiped the Buddha on TV, knelt upright, folded his hands in front of his chest, and whispered incoherently: "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless, please Bodhisattva save me from fire and water, I am only eight years old, and I haven't lived enough." Bodhisattva great mercy, save me! ”

I kept repeating it, trying to divert my attention from continuing to fear, but the more I thought about it, the more the fear in my heart became stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind in the flatland, which was bitterly cold.

Immediately after, "Ding... Bite... Ding..."

There was a sound of chains colliding outside the door, the sound was crisp and pleasant, and it was nothing in normal times.

But at this moment, it sounded to my ears like a requiem from hell, and I was so frightened that I almost rolled my eyes and fainted.

In fact, at this moment, I would rather pass out than be awake and accept that death is approaching me step by step.

I was looking forward to the second grandfather's action, hoping that he could help me get rid of the ghost chaper, but his old man didn't move, didn't say a word, as if he hadn't heard.

The second grandfather said that before people die, there will be ghosts from the underworld to hook the soul, and they will all hold iron chains in their hands. In the middle of the night, it was impossible for Grandpa and Dad to wander around with chains, so it was definitely not human, because I didn't hear the footsteps!

Think about it again, although my grandfather is quite old, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his body is very strong, and it is impossible for the ghost to find his old man. Mom and Dad? It's even more impossible, they are still young, and they don't have any diseases, they are fine during the day today, and they are still seen eating together at night, it can't be them.

We are a family of five, except for the three of them, so ...... It's just me and my second grandfather......

I didn't dare to think about it, but I finally understood why they were so strange when I went back to my hometown this time, and let me wear a padded jacket in the summer, and wear such a festive color, isn't it very abnormal

I should have known about it a long time ago, but there was still a little bit of luck in my heart, and I hoped that I was thinking too much, so I didn't want to face it.

To put it bluntly, who is not afraid of death!

Who wants to die if they can?

The sound of chains stopped at my door, and I waited for a long time with trembling and terrified, but the ghost did not enter the door.

I wondered in my heart, although the door was closed, it didn't exist for them, why didn't they come for so long?

It's a bit tangled to say that, but it's true. Waiting for death is a terrible thing!

After a while, the sound of chains sounded again, but it was getting farther and farther away from my room, and my excessively tense nerves relaxed at once, and the whole person could not bear it anymore, and passed out.

By the time I woke up, it was already noon the next day, and the sunlight from the window poured through the cracks on the walls, illuminating the room that had been as black as ink the previous night.

The memories flashed through my mind, and I laughed stupidly, a little incredulous. From today on, I will not die young, I will be able to live freely like other children.

What a joy it is!

I got up from the ground and tried to find something to eat.

I didn't eat last night, and by now, I'm so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back.

As soon as I was about to push the door out, my mother pushed the door in with food, but as soon as she came in, I sensed that something was wrong.

Why are her eyes so puffy and red, as if she had just cried?

Isn't she happy for me?

"Mom, what's wrong, has something happened?" I opened my mouth and asked, somehow, uneasy.

Mom reluctantly hooked the corners of her mouth, "Your grandfather is ...... Well, it's okay, let's eat first! ”

"Grandpa, what's wrong with him, is it a stomach problem again? Isn't there a painkiller at my brother-in-law's house? If it doesn't work anymore, we'll send grandpa to a big hospital to see, don't delay this disease! ”

My mother avoided my stunned gaze, shook her head, and took a lot of effort to finish the sentence: "Your grandfather is gone, and he will never come back." ”

After saying that, tears fell from the eyes.

The uneasiness in my heart suddenly brightened, and there seemed to be countless thunders above my head that exploded at the same time, and my whole body lost its strength and fell headlong, but it was caught by my mother's eyes. shattered to the ground......

I desperately broke free from my mother's embrace, staggered out the door, and ran to my grandfather's room.

There were a lot of people standing in the yard of my house, some acquaintances and some people who had never seen each other, and they were all bustling in the yard discussing something, and at the same time, some people left one after another.

I don't know how I passed, and I felt so uncomfortable when I saw my grandfather lying peacefully on the bed!

A few years have passed, and we have just met, and the results are ...... What exactly did I do wrong and why should I be punished so much? Is God blind!

The dog ran over, wiped the tears from my face, patted me on the shoulder, and comforted: "Monkey, don't be too sad, the village chief will do good deeds all his life, he will not go to hell, he will definitely go to heaven, we should be happy for him!" You're right? ”

"Is that really the case? But...... Why are they all hiding it from me, why? ”

I looked up at him blankly, and tears flowed down my eyes, and a sense of powerlessness made me have a splitting headache, and I fainted again.

I'm just a medicine jar, my body is very fragile, I can't withstand such a serious blow at all, this time I was dizzy and crisp, I even saved the action of rolling my eyes, and I was unconscious as soon as I closed my eyes.
