Chapter 51: Ghost Things in the Village
I sneezed heavily, and the cool breeze from the window blew straight to me, and my body couldn't help but shiver from the cold, and I closed the window directly. It's summer, but it's in the mountains, and the temperature is very low, not to mention that I'm wearing short-sleeved shorts.
Is it that Su Yue misses me, or why do I always sneeze. I put my arms together and thought narcissistically, I would have set off in the afternoon, at least the sun would have been more abundant in the afternoon.
Speaking of which, our family moved to the city a few years ago, but since I went to college and went to other places, the second elder of the family is not used to living in the city, and I sold the house and moved back to the countryside because I am not familiar with the place.
The day after tomorrow, it is the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the mid-year festival, according to the folk saying, it is the ghost festival, which is the day when the king of Yama is kind to all the ghosts and let all the ghosts walk at night in the world. I figured out that this was probably because the old man of Yama had been busy criticizing the Daoshan oil pot for a year, and finally had enough of those sinners, and planned to give himself a vacation. My dear parents should not choose such a wedding or funeral...... Oh no, it seems like a good day to celebrate my death with a feast in the village.
Why do you want to say why? Maybe it doesn't seem like anything to outsiders, but in the hearts of the old people in our small village, I, a student who was admitted to university, is really not much different from the grand scene of a champion in the old days.
Therefore, this banquet must be done, and it must be done in a big way.
Of course, the obligation to worship ancestors and burn incense or something, is naturally indispensable, and this is also my biggest headache, the ancestral graves of hundreds of families in the whole village are on a hill, a whole mass graveyard, the scene is enough just to think about.
Having said that, I haven't been back to my hometown for four years, not because I don't want to go home, but because what happened in my hometown when I was a child left a shadow on my fragile mind.
I remember when I was five or six years old, I often saw some unclean things, and the deepest impression was that on a summer night, at ten o'clock, someone knocked on the door of my compound, and my father scolded and scolded while walking that there was still a knock on the door so late, and I followed closely behind, and as soon as the door opened, a cool breeze suddenly whistled in my face.
I looked forward with my arm against the wind, and a man in a Qing Dynasty official uniform stood at the door, but my father didn't seem to see it and looked around, until he closed the door angrily, and I saw the man suddenly laugh weirdly, showing two sharp teeth, and staring at me with dead eyes.
At that time, I cried and told my parents about it, but they both said that I was dazzled and told me not to take it seriously. Later, my grandfather heard about it and told me that it was called Yin and Yang Eyes, and you could see demons and monsters, which are usually common to children, but they will be gone when they grow up.
I believed it and never went out at night again, and I never saw anything like that again.
But this incident has always stayed in my heart, and after I entered elementary school, I studied hard until I graduated from high school and was admitted to university.
But now I know that ghosts and gods are real, and the yin and yang eyes are also real, and it is not nonsense, like I can open the yin and yang eyes at will now.
"It's time to get off the station, I'm going to be hungry after a day's journey." The driver held the cigarette butt in one hand and the money handed by the passenger in the other, wondering whether to treat himself with the money at night.
I handed the money to the driver, got out of the car with my duffel bag on my back, and a cool breeze blew in my face, and I took a soft breath and felt a chill in my lungs.
Oops! I slapped my head hard and I said how I felt like I had forgotten something! I haven't told my parents about the loss of the jade pendant, what if they know that I lost the jade pendant and can't nagging me to death......
I spun around in circles, and suddenly thought of a good idea, so I walked towards the village with confidence.
Walking to the mountain road, looking at the scenery around, I sighed in my heart that my hometown is the "old" home, and it hasn't changed at all!
In less than ten minutes, I walked to the entrance of the village and saw my parents standing under a big tree looking around. I strode over and shouted sadly, "Dad, Mom, I'm back!" ”
When my mother saw me, she immediately rushed over, hugged me tightly, and couldn't stop crying, saying that I was thin and tall, was I tired, and how was my life there......
Dad couldn't see it, "Don't cry, it's a good thing for the child to come back, take the car in the morning, you must be tired and hungry, let's go home and eat, and then you will be verbose." ”
When my mother heard this, she reluctantly let go of me, her eyes flicked at my neck, and she suddenly shouted, "Son! Where's your jade pendant? Don't lose it! ”
When my father heard this, he also looked at me and asked anxiously, "What's the matter with the child?" ”
I hurriedly told the lie I had just thought: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I met the old Taoist who gave me a jade pendant when I was a child in the city, and he said that this jade pendant is of little use to me, so he gave me a ring. "I raised my hand and let them look at the Heart Eater Ring, thinking to myself that I had finally escaped a game, and I couldn't tell me about living with the fox demon, right? The things I have encountered in the past month are so weird, I will scare my parents half to death if I say it.
When my parents saw that I didn't look like a liar, and that there were no injuries on my body, they simply stopped asking and took me home.
Along the way, my mother kept asking me about my school situation, whether I studied hard, how my relationship was with my roommate, and whether I had a girlfriend.
"Mom, has anything happened in the village in the past few years?" In order to divert my mother's nagging, I quickly changed the topic, after all, I haven't been home for four years, and I don't know if anything has happened in the village.
The old mother sighed heavily, and said weakly: "What big things can we do in this small place, the crops are not good or bad, and we are barely self-sufficient every year, but the number of cattle and sheep is getting smaller and smaller, and I told your father a few days ago to go to the city to buy a few more ewes and cows to stay for breeding." ”
"Ahem......" I coughed awkwardly.
"It's not for nothing to say strange things, a few years ago, a foreign girl came inexplicably, and died in our place, and the village chief saw that she was lonely and kind to bury her on the ancestral grave, and then I heard that the ancestral tomb was haunted, and people often saw the girl in white crying there."
"Yes, since the girl died, the village chief's son Ha Liu has also become demented, and he always talks to himself, as if he has a strange disease, which is really a strange thing." Dad added, and his eyebrows also revealed doubts.
Listening to my parents' narration, I felt that this thing was not normal, but ...... What does it matter to me?
