Chapter 20: It's Too Late

It was already past 10 o'clock in the morning, and my little sister and I were walking and running to the house. The sun in the sky was very hot, sweat soaked through my clothes, my little sister and I hadn't eaten anything since last night, and my hungry eyes were almost .......

I looked at the table at twelve o'clock, and it was almost at the entrance of the village. I happened to arrive at the entrance of the village, where a shop was run by my high school classmates, and my little sister and I went in to buy some food and water.

"Amin! Get me two bottles of water and two loaves of bread, and I'll be back in a moment and I'll give you the money and now I don't have it with me! "I looked like I was in a hurry, and I was covered in sweat.

"Xiao Yu, it's okay. Just send the money for a few dollars, by the way, you hurry home, I saw your uncle in the morning, he looked panicked as if something had happened! "What can happen to Uncle? There must have been some change, and I was so shocked that I hurriedly ate two bites of bread and ran home.

I just ran a few steps to the door of the second uncle's house, but there were many people gathered at the door of the second uncle's house. The people next door to the door and even the people on the edge of the village who don't usually have much contact with each other ran over and whispered there, and when my little sister and I walked over, they quickly flashed to the side, as if they saw something unclean.

Not good! I was secretly shocked, Ah Ming was right, these people's actions were very abnormal, something must have happened to our family, and I hurriedly pushed open the door with my little sister, and the scene in front of me stunned me......!

The door of the second uncle's house was facing the hall, and I pushed the door open and saw a person sitting at the door of the hall. It's the second uncle! He happened to be sitting in the doorway of the hall with a big smoking gun.

My brain suddenly went blank, thinking about the appearance of the second uncle who turned into a demon yesterday, how can he sit at the door of the hall now, could it be that the Taoist of Xuanqing drove the evil ghost away? And then the Xuanqing Daoist left? Dozens of possibilities were churning in my mind, but nothing came of it.

"Daddy! How are you sitting here, have you eaten? Do you remember yesterday's events? The little sister hid behind me and asked in a low voice. I took a closer look at the second uncle, and the wound on his shoulder was gone, and there was no blood on his clothes, as if nothing had happened.

"You're back!" The second uncle spoke suddenly, and the voice was exactly the same as the original, and there was nothing abnormal, I met my little sister for a while and froze, this second uncle is too weird, he became a demon yesterday and got better so quickly today, but it doesn't seem to be himself, it seems to be still the state before the Xuanqing Dao Elder came.

"Dad, ...... you" the little sister was about to say something, at this time the door opened, and the uncle strode forward, took my little sister's hand and walked out. My little sister and I were shocked by the uncle's behavior, and when we looked back, the second uncle ignored us and still sat there smoking.

Uncle dragged us all the way to his door, looking very nervous.

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yan, don't go home for the two of you, I heard a big noise in your house yesterday. Last night, I was just about to lie down and sleep when I heard a whistling sound from the back, and I hurriedly ran out into the yard to see that it was a dark shadow. The dark shadow hovered in the sky and flew straight into your yard. Uncle said and looked in the direction of my house in a panic.

"Huh? A dark shadow, can you see clearly that it's not the wind or something? "I also suddenly remembered that when my little sister and I came out of the house yesterday, we saw a black shadow flying overhead, but I didn't care.

"Later, uncle, how happened to that shadow?" I asked anxiously.

"I don't know, I only heard a few screams in your house, and then a strong wind blew like the world turned upside down, and there was no movement after about ten minutes!" I was dumbfounded by my uncle's words, and I really didn't know what could have made such a scene.

"Also, yesterday my second brother and I went to exorcise evil spirits for my comrade-in-arms' son, and I had a cigarette pouch in your father's pocket, and this morning I tried to get it back, but as soon as I walked to your door, I saw the door open, and your father was sitting at the door of the hall smoking. And it's weird, no matter how much I call him, he won't answer me. I thought he had something on his mind, so he didn't dare to ask again, but just now when I saw you coming back, I saw that your father was still smoking there, and I was afraid that you two would be in danger, so I brought you two over. After the uncle finished speaking, his eyes were full of fear. Because he is also a person who believes in ghosts and gods very much, and he is a brother to his second uncle, and the abnormal behavior of the second uncle can't escape his eyes at all.

"No, uncle, no matter what the problem, my second uncle is doing a good job at home now, my little sister and I went back just now, and he also talked to us, I believe that my second uncle will not harm me, I must go back to see!" With that, I led my little sister straight to the door.

"Hey! This kid! Wait a minute! What if something happens! What a disobedient ......! Wait a minute......! Uncle hurriedly chased after him, but he stopped after a few steps, he knew in his heart that my temper was so stubborn, he couldn't stop me from thinking about good things.

The distance between the eldest uncle's house and the second uncle's house is dozens of meters, and my little sister and I arrived at the door in minutes.

Pushing open the door, I looked at the door of the hall but the second uncle was missing. Odd? Why did he disappear after he was still here for a while?

"Brother, will you enter the house?" My little sister was hiding behind me, obviously scared. My little sister and I hurriedly opened the door of the hall, and we were stunned by the sight in front of us.

Yesterday, the paper coffin made by Daoist Xuanqing became shattered, and the yellow paper was all over the house. The altar on which the mantra was recited was also shattered, and the incense burner and candles were scattered on the ground and shattered, as if they had been violently beaten. I hurriedly picked up a piece of yellow paper, which happened to be the location of the paper coffin made by Daoist Xuanqing yesterday. But there was nothing in front of me, only a pool of bright red blood flowing slowly from under the yellow paper, not yet coagulated, emitting bursts of fishy smell!

"Ah......h The little sister let out an exclamation in fright.

"Not good! Something is wrong, this blood is not like the chicken blood and dog blood that I got with the Taoist yesterday, and the color is indeed human blood. After I finished talking to my little sister, my little sister hurriedly ran outside the hall.

"Brother, what about our mother? Was she killed by a ghost? The little sister looked at me anxiously

"No, let's go look in the house, she might be in the house." My little sister said.

My little sister and I hurriedly entered the wing, and there was no second uncle in the wing. Only Erniang's room has a quilt, and the quilt is raised. I hurriedly lifted the quilt. found that Erniang's body was shrunk into a ball, with her eyes closed in her shoes, as if she was asleep, and as if she was talking to someone, the corners of her mouth moved.

"Ahh Stay back! Stay back! Erniang picked up the quilt hoarsely and put it on her head.

"Erniang, I'm Xiao Yu, don't be afraid, I'm Xiao Yu, look at it!" Saying that, I went to grab the quilt in Erniang's hand. At this time, Erniang slowly opened her eyes, and she seemed relieved to see me and my little sister in front of her.

"Xiao Yu, girl, you two are finally back, why are you here? It's all late...... It's ...... late! Erniang began to beat her head like crazy, grabbed her hair and tore it.

"Erniang, what's wrong with you, what did you see, but you told me? Where did the second uncle go? Where is the head of Xuanqing Dao? Did he cure the second uncle? I looked at Erniang anxiously.

"Mother! You look at me and say slowly, don't worry! Is my father cured, do you say? Xiaomei grabbed Erniang's hand, afraid that she would hurt herself.

"Ahh OMG! What's wrong with us, please help us! Erniang began to cry, and my little sister and I were shocked and realized that something must have happened!

"Xiao Yu, yesterday Xuanqing restrained your father, and set up a magic circle here waiting for you to come back, and I watched your father from the side. But less than half an hour after you left, a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky. The strong wind seemed to be accompanied by black smoke, and the door of the hall was blown open, and I hurried to close the door of the hall, but I didn't have time. I saw a black shadow rushing in, just on the altar of this Xuanqing Daoist. The altar of the Xuanqing Daoist was shattered at once, and I was blown into the doorpost by the strong wind, and then I fainted," Erniang said and looked at the hall in fear.

"Then Erniang, how did Dad and Xuanqing grow, did you see it?" My little sister and I asked anxiously.

"When I woke up, I saw myself lying on the floor of the hall, and there was no one where Xuanqing Dao was sitting, but only a pool of blood was left, and he must have died. Then I was so frightened that I rushed out of the hall, just in time to see your father smoking at the door, I saw your father and I was startled and fainted, I don't know how I got to bed" Erniang said and secretly shed tears.

"Then when you saw Daddy, his face was still the same as before? Is he back to normal? I asked anxiously.

"It seems to be back to normal, but I didn't dare to talk to him, who knows when he will become a ghost!" Erniang said and cried again.

"Mother, don't cry, my brother and I got back the soul suppression nail, you need to be afraid of your mother's ......!" Xiaomei hugged Erniang and comforted her.

"Yes, Erniang, we got the soul snail last time I saw that old man Hu to help me get it back, when we went to the mountain temple there, there was a village chief surnamed Wang who didn't let us leave, we spent all the money to get it back, maybe it's still useful!" I looked at Erniang's eyes, and my heart was sour, and I couldn't help but think of the kind face of Daoist Xuanqing. If Daoist Xuanqing really dies, I'm really sorry for him, he doesn't do anything just to help our family exorcise ghosts. If he dies, I will avenge him!

"Just before you came back, I had a horrible dream that scared me to death!" Erniang said to me and my little sister while crying.

"Erniang, tell me quickly, maybe there are any hints, what have you dreamed of? Did you dream of the second uncle and Xuanqing Dao chief? My second uncle and I did learn some things when we exorcised evil spirits, and it is not uncommon for some people to dream about the future or the past.

"Erniang, tell me what you dreamed of?" My little sister and I asked anxiously.

"I dreamed that I was walking in a strange wood. The forest was very tall, and there was a large cave in the middle of the woods. I felt my way into the cave, and there was a dim light in the cave. I continued to walk inside, but the road behind me suddenly stopped, and a pile of dirt fell down to block my path. I had no choice but to go, and in the haze I saw a figure in front of me, so I sneaked over and squatted down to look at him. It didn't matter if I saw it, the man frightened me, he was pitch black as if it were dry black flesh. His hair was hanging down on his face, and he was gnawing on a round thing, which seemed to be bleeding, and when he turned the round thing over, I could see clearly, and the face of the head of the Xuanqing Daoist was on that person......"
