Thinking about it, I looked at the names on the tombstone tremblingly: "Song Ming, Huang Dazhi, Yu Peng......" Strangely, this cemetery was actually arranged according to the ranking between our brothers, from the third to the youngest. Among them, only a little thirteen is missing.

Because I had been separated for too long, I left the orphanage since I was in junior high school and only returned to the orphanage a few times during the holidays. And since Mi Po left the orphanage in my third year of high school, I was also admitted to university. It's been four years, and I haven't been back to the orphanage again. I even forgot the names of most of my brothers, and I only remembered them when I heard them. Oh, he's my first brother.

But I have some impressions of Little Thirteen's name, his name is very special.

Just thinking about it, Dajin and Lin Fanyin had already pushed the middle-aged man to follow.

I asked the middle-aged man, "There are only twelve adults in the orphanage?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head again and again, not even daring to look at the tombstones around him, and said, "I don't know...... I've never dealt with orphanages. I heard that the police based the grave on a roster found in the orphanage...... They customized thirteen tombstones according to the roster, and when they finally liquidated the corpses, they found that they had ordered one more! It is said that another adult was missing from the fire......"

"Where is the tombstone?!" I suddenly became excited.

The middle-aged man shook his head: "How do I know, I never dared to run here." ”

I instructed Dajin and Lin Fanyin to scatter around to find the tombstone, and the middle-aged mountain people followed me in a panic, lest they encounter something unclean.

After a while, Lin Fanyin spoke: "Found it!" ”

We hurriedly followed the sound and saw a stone tablet with a mottled surface thrown in the grass nest in front of Lin Fanyin.

I cleared the weeds on the tombstone, and when I saw the name on it, my head exploded, it was him, the owner of this tombstone, it was Little Thirteen.

His name is very special, it is a compound surname, called Shen Tu Xue.

Apparently, his body was not here, and the tombstone that was supposed to belong to him was thrown aside in a grass nest, and if it was not examined carefully, it would be covered by rain and mud in a few years.

Shen Tuxue didn't die, he turned into a child and saved my life.

It's ridiculous to think about.

But the facts are right in front of me. Then why didn't he recognize me? Could it be that Xiao Thirteen Shen slaughtered blood, what is difficult to hide?

After thinking about it to no avail, it is impossible to unravel this mystery if you can't figure out the identity of the silver-haired child.

"That's right." I turned my head and asked the middle-aged mountaineer, who was trembling and looking around, "After the orphanage caught fire at that time, did the police find anything valuable from it?" For example, jade seals and the like......"

The mountain people thought for a while, shook their heads, and said, "No." It was all burned to the ground, and when we went to watch the meeting, we saw someone coming out with a broken book that was only half left, and nothing else. ”

Then he added: "Even the second stunned man in the village has come here several times, and last time he sprayed with me that the orphanage was too poor and burned nothing." ”

"He's blind when he's standing in a pile of garbage, but he's a clairvoyant as long as there's a penny in the garbage." I said with a smile.

I know this person who is a talent. It's so lazy to do it, and it is said that you can find a deep buried dollar coin in the dung heap.

He got nothing of it, let alone us.

"Let's go back." I said, "Go back and get some sleep, eat autumn eggplant and drink millet porridge." There's nothing to investigate here. ”

"Good, good." The middle-aged mountain man was eager to do so, and hurriedly led the way: "Everyone follow me." ”

But he had only taken a few steps, but he stood trembling again. Pointing to the sky, his whole body was like a dustpan: "Ghost, ghost lantern......"

We rushed to look up at the words, and our backs were numb.

I saw a red lantern floating quietly in the dark sky.

It didn't come from nowhere, and it didn't know when it came. This should be a red lantern that people hang on the door every New Year, but now it is hanging high in the sky.

Its light is not bright, but it is very red, not like the red cloth dyed by a person, but like the blood bursting out of a person's body when he dies.

There was no wind, and the clouds in the sky completely obscured the moon. In the deep mountains, there is no half light. Under the red light of the lantern, the intricate trees around them seemed to come to life, and the hideous shadows of the trees floated around like evil spirits that knew about Suosuo.

This is the first time I have seen the legendary ghost lantern.

In my hometown, there are two sayings for ghost lanterns.

One is that the ghost lantern is the soul of a person who has died unjustly. The lamp is the soul of a person, and the lampshade is the human skin of the deceased. Ghost lanterns float around the grave all the time, and at night they will float around, and if there is a lone person with weak yang energy, they will go to deceive people's hearts and use ghost fire to lure people's souls.

Follow the ghost lantern and before you know it, you will arrive at Hades.

Therefore, the old people said that after seeing the ghost lantern, they should quickly turn around and walk, and they must look back every few steps, so as not to leave their physical bodies behind.

There is also the ghost lantern that is incarnated by the spirits of people who have lost their way in the mountains and died, and they got lost and died. The great wish turned into an everlasting lamp in the dark night, which appeared every time the mountain people were lost in the mountains and pointed out the direction for them. As long as you follow the ghost lantern, you can escape.

There are different opinions, but after all, it is just a legend, and every theory has been insisted upon, and how many people have seen the real ghost lantern?

And there was a real ghost lantern in front of us, and it hung silently in the air, motionless, like a huge red eye staring at us in the night.

It took a while for the mountain people to react, and they didn't dare to come out, but they kept gesturing to us, telling us to run after him.

In any case, the ghost lantern is an evil thing, so it's better to provoke it less. As the saying goes, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. There are so many big men in us, and the three fires on our heads are vigorous, and we don't dare to measure it, it's really not good...... As I spoke, I reached out and touched the ghost seal around my neck.

The Golden King spat twice in his hand and stroked the hair on his forehead back, revealing a smooth forehead. He said in a low voice: "Just Jin Ye didn't comb the big back of the ghost today, and there will be a little ghost coming up to make trouble soon." Hey Lin girl, show your forehead, so that the three fires above your head are scolding, and it won't be good for you to hit the evil for a while. As he spoke, he spat two more mouthfuls of spit, wanting to wipe it on Lin Fanyin's head, but Lin Fanyin flexibly dodged away.

It is said that if you hit a ghost, you can lift the hair on your forehead and expose your smooth forehead to make the yang energy on your body stronger, and a hundred ghosts are not close, which is also the reason why Daikin has been combing his hair with a slippery back.

Determined not to provoke the ghost lanterns, we were just about to retreat.

But when he saw that the mountain people no longer cared for us, they ran away. The mountain man walked with agility, and I didn't hold him anymore like a wild horse off his rope, and disappeared into the woods, and we only saw a shaking flashlight in the distance, farther and farther away.

"This bastard!" Dajin scolded, and we hurriedly chased after us. In this deserted mountain, there is no light. If you leave us here, you will inevitably get lost, and it will be ...... There was also a blood-red ghost lantern overhead.

We hadn't even taken a few steps before the lantern suddenly moved, and it floated very quickly in front of us, blocking our way.

The ghost lantern still flew high, still standing motionless and levitating.

But I feel like it's coming at us.
