"Chapter 3: A Rainy Day"

The weather forecast that night was the only mistake of the year, and by the time I was about to go home from the game, the sky was full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and strong winds. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoStanding in the school building, I could clearly see the pouring rain.

I've long been accustomed to this kind of bad weather. Now the best thing to do is to wait for the rain to stop, but although there is news of the weather forecast, this rain is indeed very strange, and it has been maintaining the same speed at all, and there is no trend of seeing the sun. I sighed, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, and sat in the main hall of the school building with the fat man and took a big sip.

Looking at this terrible weather, I remembered the nightmare I had last night, and that terrifying face seemed to be engraved in my mind, and I can't forget it. And in that dream, I seemed to hear the two words that the woman's mouth slowly spoke to me.

"Xianggong!"

One by one, the troubles crossed my mind, and I shook my head vigorously and took a sharp puff of my cigarette. I looked at the time displayed on my phone. Seven thirty-five minutes!

A bolt of lightning suddenly swept through my eyes, and a few seconds later, a deafening thunderclap rang out in the sky. I suddenly thought of the mysterious old man on the street in the morning who told me to look for him at night. Carefully calculate the time, there are still twenty-five minutes before the time to get better with the old man, and the old man said that if I go to him, there must be a way to save my life, this kind of important matter related to human life, especially for me, can not be delayed at all.

After saying hello to the fat man, I put my coat on my head and rushed out without looking back in the pouring rain outside, because the streets were already empty because of the sudden storm, and occasionally some guys who were too curious watched me run through the rain through the window. I thought it was a crew making a movie here.

The coat I put on my head was already wet when I ran from the school building to the school gate, not only the coat, but also the whole body had already become like a chicken in soup. Damn, I'm running for my life, you know?

I finally ran to the place, and the downpour that had been falling a little bit weakened, so I took out my business card covered in a plastic bag and carefully confirmed the address.

12 Changzheng Street, Ma Qingshan.

Although it sounds like a little prosperous, friends, some things can't be judged just by listening to the name, and my good friend Fat Man is a vivid example. Changzheng Street is one of the most dilapidated streets in the city, and it is impossible to call it a slum. About 20 years ago, the previous government called for a better look in the city, moving and building buildings. But with the frequent change of mayors in the government, there is no follow-up to the move.

Turning a muddy road, my shoes were already covered in mud. The place where this old man lives is really not the usual remote, I took a lot of effort to knock on several people to ask for the detailed location of this address, but everyone's answer is very consistent, there is no such person here at all.

I gasped and leaned against a dilapidated stone wall that looked like it was about to collapse, frowning and whispering, Damn, I knew I was deceived! Let Lao Tzu run for so long! And just as I was bursting into foul language in anger, I saw two dark green eyes staring at me in the street on the left, getting closer and closer. Subconsciously, I immediately thought of these somewhat terrifying eyes to the nightmare of last night, and I leaned against the wall tightly, and grabbed the stones on the side in fear and held them in my hands.

The eyes were getting closer and closer to me, and just as I was about to throw the stone in my hand and run for my life, some familiar old voice sounded from the street, and after coughing twice, it came to me with the sound of slight footsteps.

I held back my heartbeat and looked at it, only to see that the strange old man I met on the street in the early hours of this morning was holding a huge yellow-haired cat in his arms. The cat lay meekly on his arm, but its greenish eyes wandered back and forth, staring at my chest for a long time.

"Why did it take so long to come?" After looking at each other for a few seconds, the old man was the first to ask, and there was still a little dissatisfaction in his voice, probably because I didn't meet the agreed time to find him, and I was a little angry. I scratched my head a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly, it was raining just now, and you told people near my address that they hadn't seen it at all.

"Oh." The old man spoke casually, and then turned and walked, and I let out a long breath and followed quickly. But the strange thing is that I trotted all the way and could not keep up with the old man, and when I saw him in the daytime, he was on a cane, and looked as if he could fall at any moment. How now...

"It's here!" While I was pondering, the old man suddenly pointed to a wooden house with the lights on and interrupted me. Then he lowered his head and whispered something in the ear of the cat he had been holding in his arms, and the cat looked at me as if he understood the meow, and then jumped out of the old man's arms, and quickly ran out of the hospital, disappearing into the endless night.

I followed the old man's steps into the room, there was a pungent smell of incense, I quickly covered my nose and looked back and forth in the room, the layout here is very simple, a small bed, a dilapidated wooden table placed in the center of the house, the table is offered a wooden tablet covered with a red cloth, several yellow charms are placed around it in an orderly manner, like a guardian or something.

"Sit down." The old man said to me, who was a little stunned, and took off his coat, walked to the wooden tablet I had been looking at, knelt down, chanted words in his mouth, drew an unknown mark in the air with his two arms, and reverently took out a yellow talisman from the upper left side of the wooden tablet and walked it in front of me.

I looked at the old man in front of me a little strangely, and I was still a little resistant to these things, and I didn't want to wear them, but the old man suddenly shouted to me: "Don't speak, if you want to live, do as I say!" Before I could react, he glued the yellow talisman to my forehead. When the yellow charm touched my forehead, a feeling of dizziness suddenly hit my mind, but I didn't have the slightest thought of sleeping.

"What the hell is wrong with me, sir?" I endured the uncomfortable feeling, and said the doubts in my heart to the old man in confusion, for eighteen years, such a thing had never happened to me. But what happened now made me a little confused, and even, a little frightened. My gut tells me that I might be in trouble, and that I am in trouble!

The old man ignored me, turned to the bed, took out a dusty wooden box, pulled out a red thread from it, and tied another piece of the red rope to his left hand. After all these preparations, the old man's face flashed with a trace of solemnity, and he said to me in a deep voice: "What's the matter, let's talk about it after tonight, she's here!" ”

I resisted the feeling of lethargy, my eyelids fighting up and down that intense lethargy. And when I couldn't help it, the moment my eyelids closed, the pale face of the strange woman who had appeared in the nightmare that night suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. The pale face, leaking out the white teeth, smiled strangely at me.

"Huh!"

I was so startled that I opened my eyes again, and the pale face lingered in front of my eyes. The shrill laughter has always been in my ears.

"Ah, my head!"

I clutched my head and screamed with all my might, a feeling of pain that permeated my body. It felt like I had fallen into a bottomless black hole, with no distance, no light, only darkness, and the endless dark space was always echoing with the woman's poignant and somewhat eerie laughter.

"Female ghost, Hugh is presumptuous, with me here, how can you be allowed to make waves?" The old man shouted at me with his cane in his hand and wide eyes. But not at me, to be exact, but at the unidentified woman inside me.
