Chapter 67: Ghost Fire
"Auntie, quickly remove the strip of cloth from the uncle's mouth." I heard my uncle's command. Uncle Chen has a strip of cloth stuffed in his mouth, what kind of disease needs to be like this.
"Big seal, you can't take it, if you take it, your uncle will bite his tongue and kill himself!" Yes? Biting your tongue and killing yourself? What's the situation?
I wanted to look up at Uncle Chen, but after thick ink noticed it, he pressed my head tighter with his left hand, "Good, it's not for you to see here." Then as soon as his right hand put his arm around my waist, his long legs led me all the way with my not short legs, and by the way, he pushed out of the back room with others, and I was still dizzy in the regression just now, and the thick ink let go of me and took my hand instead, "Follow me home." ”
I didn't stop, "I don't!" "I know he's worried about my ability to bear, and the scene inside must be very infiltrating, but I want to be brave, I've even seen ghosts, what else are I afraid of.
"Do you really want to see it?" Thick ink's head raised towards the curtain.
"Hmm!" I replied very simply.
"Then you let go of my hand first." His gaze swept over my holding hand, meaning that I was going to see myself inside, and he was going home.
I pulled out my face and quickly thickened a few centimeters in front of me, "Cousin~" There was a little anxiety in the voice, and there was a little trepidation in the restlessness, Fei Dongxi, I will never worship you anymore, we are really suitable to be sisters.
After listening to my tactful and flowing name, thick ink's originally thunderous face immediately seemed to be struck by lightning, "Go in." ”
He took my hand, and when he lifted the curtain, Uncle Chen's painful moans sounded inside, "Do you know if you feel uncomfortable and go home?" Thick Mo squeezed my hand and led me in.
Even though I took a deep breath and prepared myself, I was shocked by what was inside. In the narrow hut, the skinny Uncle Chen was tied to the bed, with a ball of cloth stuffed in his mouth, leaning against the wall of the small bed, most of the bottom was bloodstained, as if someone had scratched it out with his fingers, the traces were very deep, the white cement on it was cut out, and the traces were crisscrossed, I was frightened to see it, and then I looked at Uncle Chen's face, it was also scratched out of blood, the skin and flesh were warped, not yet scabbed, bright red and bright red, and the thick ink was on my hand, wiping my tears. Uncle Chen, this is evil, isn't it supposed to be looking for thick ink, and my uncle won't do this.
"How often does Uncle hurt now?" I saw my uncle take out the acupuncture belt from the box and take out a small bottle of alcohol.
"Print, he hurts several times a day now, your aunt and I can't stand it anymore, this old man, he doesn't go to the hospital again, he says that he will die at home, this old man!" Aunt Chen howled, her face wrinkled together because of grief, and her hands were beating her heart again.
"Xuanzi, thick ink, you two put these needles in the alcohol fire for a while." My uncle told us to do things. He turned his head to Aunt Chen and said, "Auntie, come out for a while, and I'll write you a prescription." ”
Nong Mo and I also followed to the hall with the needle, and my uncle lowered his voice and said: "Auntie, let me be honest with you, the recipe I gave you last time, continue to eat it like this, because it is an advanced stage of stomach cancer, Uncle Chen's physique is already very weak, and his immunity and physical function are too poor. ”
Aunt Chen listened to her uncle's words, covered her face with her hands, choked with a whimper, and her voice did not dare to be amplified, "Oops-" The thick ink slapped on the back of my hand, I was startled, because of absent-mindedness, the fire almost burned my fingers.
I feel uncomfortable, it turned out to be stomach cancer, I have heard of the pain fighter in this cancer, my grandmother told me that when stomach cancer occurs, it will really make the patient hurt on the wall, scratch the heart and lungs, and finally it hurts to death, what a pain, I have never been able to imagine that I saw it like this today, the blood stains, and the face, Uncle Chen has been in pain and self-harm.
"Da Yin, how long can my old man live?" Aunt Chen asked tremblingly, I was afraid that she would fall down if she couldn't stand it, so I handed the good needle to my uncle and hurried over to support her.
"A month." The uncle said, "It's time to prepare." After speaking, he went in to relieve Uncle Chen's pain with acupuncture.
At night, when I passed by the thick ink room, I saw thick ink packing up the package, "Hey, where are you going?" ”
He took out a bottle from the inside of the package, "Go dig the ancestral grave." ”
"Bah, that's also the ancestral grave." I was about to rummage through his package, but he stopped him and threw him on the bed. "Stingy, I snorted."
"Don't follow me." He was about to leave with the bottle.
"Not really." I pouted, and he stepped out of the courtyard with his front foot, and I followed with my back foot.
My grandmother stopped me, "Xuanzi, it's so late, where are you going?" ”
"Take a walk." I rolled my eyes, "Cousin too." "Considering my special physique, it is more reasonable to have an extra Taoist priest by my side, and my grandmother will not be worried.
Sure enough, the grandmother waved her hand, "Come home quickly, it's dark outside." ”
After talking a few words to my grandmother, I went out again, I couldn't find thick ink, our family's ancestral grave, bad, partitioned, Chinese New Year's Eve night is because the ancestral graves are not all together, so I draw a circle to burn money, the old man and the old lady are at the entrance of the village, and there are several graves near Uncle Chen's house. It's closer, and there's a chance that Thick Ink will go there, so let's go and see it first.
Because it's not too late, so there are still many households with lights on, I don't feel scared, when I was about to get to Uncle Chen's house, I saw a big light, a little dark cyan, ran a few steps, I determined the location of the light, in the cemetery, thick ink, I can catch you!
In order not to attract the attention of the thick ink, I deliberately lightened my pace, and the light slowly rose a little from the ground, hey, the thick ink was up! Hurry up and hide! I dug into the grass next to me, and when I looked over there, there was no light, where was it? Thick ink goes so fast?
I quickly stood up and looked around, no! What, Ling Bo Weibu! In my frustration, a bright light suddenly fell overhead, and I looked up to see a large fireball-like thing floating above me. What is it? It's so bright, it's beautiful! I unconsciously reached over and touched it, "Ah Xuan, don't touch it!" "A figure pounced on me and pushed me to the ground, rolled in a circle, and when I came back, he was lying in thick ink's arms, and he was pressed to the ground by me, and snorted, as if he was injured.
"Ah Xuan, look at that ghost fire, let's follow it!" Thick ink said.
Ghost fire? The teacher said that scientifically it was the result of phosphorus burning, and folklore was a flickering flame in a cemetery, with a bad omen, and I quickly got up, and the thick ink turned over, and we watched the ghost fire hovering in the low sky, and then, it flew away, "Follow!" ”
Thick ink dragged me all the way, and the direction in which the ghost fire flew was...... The yard of Uncle Chen's house!
Could it be that Uncle Chen is going to have an accident? The courtyard of Uncle Chen's house was only surrounded by a low earthen wall, and the ghost fire flew directly in, and there was only a dim incandescent lamp in the courtyard of Uncle Chen's house, and the bright ghost fire flew in and formed a sharp contrast with it, and the ghost fire entered the yard and kept circling, rotating around the yard.
At this moment, there was a "squeak-" sound, the door inside opened, and the second aunt of the Chen family, who is also Uncle Chen's daughter-in-law, came out to take care of Uncle Chen. As soon as the second aunt of the Chen family saw the big ghost fire, she shouted, "Mom! What is it? Then in a panic, he picked up the broom beside him and began to sweep at the ghostfire, trying to knock it down.
"Don't!" Before the thick ink could stop it, the second aunt of the Chen family shot down the ghost fire with a broom, and as soon as the ghost fire landed, the light slowly dissipated and disappeared.
"Old man!" There was a wail from Aunt Chen in the house, and my heart sighed, Uncle Chen is gone!
"Hurry home, don't let anyone know about this?" Thick ink pulled me and ran.
"What's wrong? How so? "I asked in a hurry, and besides, it's none of our business! Why are we leaving?
"Did your uncle say that Uncle Chen only has nearly a month?"
"yes!" Why is my uncle from my ancestor, he is not your father or your ancestor! Although you haven't been close to each other since you were a child, don't be so rusty.
"Uncle Chen's time is running out, before people die, ghosts will come out to move, at this time the ghost is called a living soul, will go to the place he often goes, the place he wants to go, as a nostalgia before death, but his body doesn't know, just like in the subconscious, the ghost fire just now is Uncle Chen's ghost illusion, and it is beaten, that is, the soul is scattered, the soul is gone, and the life span of the person is terminated."
That is to say...... Just now, Uncle Chen was ...... His daughter-in-law was beaten to death? ”
"Yes, we saw this, how can we tell others, besides, those who don't know are not guilty, if she knows that she killed someone unintentionally, or her father-in-law, it is not very disturbing." Thick Ink sighed.
"I, I, I saw the ghost fire, I saw her...... I'm so confused right now, what should I do? Thick ink, Uncle Chen has passed away! ”
He patted me on the back, "I know, don't say anything to anyone when you get home, we don't mess with this rod, just don't think it's like this, you know?" Don't think about anything, don't follow you, you want to see what you shouldn't see. "Didn't you comfort me, why did you blame me again?
"By the way, thick ink, were you injured just now?" No matter how thin I am, I have a lot of bones in my body, and that momentum, I must have crushed him, and I said that I was going to see him.
"Wait." He lifted my hand up and looked at it by the light, and saw that where my palm and wrist met, the bones rotated, the palm of my hand turned upside down, and the back of my hand was underneath......
