Chapter 4: Blood and Tears
Hurried to the agreed place and saw from a distance that the brother was sitting on a seat by the window and looking out in a trance, so I pointed and then led Su Ranran over. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He turned around and saw the two of us coming, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "Oh, you're finally here, is this your girlfriend?" I glanced at Su Ranran and then shook my head: "What's the matter, how can people be so beautiful and fall in love with me." Then the three of us introduced each other, and after that, he took out a wooden box from his side and handed it over.
The wooden box is extremely exquisite, the hollow carving on it is slightly convex, it looks very three-dimensional, there is a yellow rune paper with secret characters written on the top of the wooden box, the wooden box is vermilion and exudes a strange fragrance, but you can't see any locks, and the whole is natural.
"Actually, that's the main purpose of talking to you today!" The brother said and patted the wooden box lightly twice, and then looked out the window meaningfully: "Today's sunshine is really bright, I really hope that there will be more beautiful days like this, but unfortunately there will be a storm soon, I hope it can be in time......"
The voice became softer and softer, and finally it became a silent murmur, and after a while, he motioned for us to go get food first, and then when the things were put down in the pot, he looked at the slowly churning soup and said slowly: "Anyway, I have to wait for a while, let me tell a story first." ”
I put down my chopsticks and listened quietly, Su Ranran on the side looked at us with a curious expression, and then put down my chopsticks and listened with my chin in my hand. 's brother coughed lightly and said:
's brother's name is Luo Xingpeng, and he has been a night taxi for more than six years. The elder brother and sister who often work night shifts sometimes encounter some strange and even weird things, of course, this is used in many ghost stories, such as going to the hospital in the middle of the night and finding that there is no one in the back seat suddenly, and going to the crematorium at midnight and so on.
At about half past one midnight in the middle of the year, he was driving aimlessly, and suddenly a white figure appeared on the side of the road, and he hurriedly braked to avoid hitting it, and then he rolled down the window and just wanted to scold twice, but found that there was a black person next to him, the two stood side by side, looking at the dress was a bit like the black and white impermanence that the old man often talked about!
He was scared into a cold sweat on the spot, and at this moment the rear door was opened, and the two actually sat in, and at the same time the front door was also opened, and a handsome young man sat in, and he smiled and said to him: "Master, I'm sorry, did it scare you?" The latter two are members of our Comic Society.,Today we just had a one-hundred-ghost nocturnal masquerade.,He left in a hurry and didn't have time to change his clothes.,Don't be afraid.。 ”
Then the man chatted with him casually, he took advantage of the chat to scan the rearview mirror, and found that at this moment the two of them had taken off their black and white coats outside, revealing two relatively pure and beautiful faces, which looked like they were carved out of a mold, and it was estimated that they were twins.
The car soon arrived at the destination, this is a villa area, he looked at the surrounding villas and felt envious, and couldn't help but wonder when he could buy a house, and then his wife and children could enjoy the happiness. After paying the money, the young man said to him: "It's the middle of the night, and it's the legendary Halloween, and you still have to get out of the car, don't you be afraid of provoking something unclean?" ”
Luo Xingpeng rubbed his hands with a smile and said: "Hey, although I am also afraid, but life is compelling, this is not enough to support the family, otherwise who wants to run around in the middle of the night and leave his wife and children at home." The young man smiled and said, "Ah." Otherwise, I'll give you 300 yuan, don't go out and run, just spend the night with me, and go back directly tomorrow morning? ”
He thought about it and was just about to agree, but suddenly saw the two girls in the back seat looking at him with a wary face, he thought about it and said slightly apologetically: "Oh, no need, I'm still not used to disturbing people for no reason, and I appreciate your kindness." ”
The young man persuaded him again, and said to him with a persistent face: "In this case, I will not be reluctant, but there is something you must remember to carry with you at all times!" With that, he took out a blood-red teardrop-shaped pendant from the bag behind him and handed it over.
"How can this be done, how can I be embarrassed to accept your gift for no reason?" He looked at the young man with some embarrassment, and strangely enough, the pendant gave him a very kind feeling.
"Senior brother, why did you give him blood and tears?" The girl on the left said anxiously. The young man smiled and shook his hand and continued, "It's okay, can't I even deal with that fierce spirit with my strength?" This blood and tear pendant actually didn't help me much," then he turned back to Luo Xingpeng and said, "Master, remember to take this close to you, and you can't take it off no matter you sleep or take a bath, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
Looking at the solemn face of the young man, Luo Xingpeng also felt that things were unexpected, so he took the pendant and then put it on his neck, and then the young man copied him a mobile phone number, and then watched him leave.
The car quickly returned to the city, he just got out of the car and his feet slipped inexplicably, but fortunately he held the car door in time, and then he came to the side of the food stall, the strange thing is that the stall that should be hot at this point is not there anyone today, maybe because today is Halloween, he himself explained silently in his heart.
After ordering a random fried mein, he lit a cigarette and waited quietly, after smoking a cigarette fried noodles, he ran to question with some annoyance, but he didn't expect that the proprietress who usually always joked with him talked to the air on the left as if she didn't see him today. He saw that the fire in his heart burned instantly, so he reached out and touched the face of the proprietress .
A strange scene appeared, his hand passed through the entire face of the proprietress as if it was completely non-existent, he reached out and scratched a few times in surprise, it was still such a strange scene, he was a little panicked, and it was at this time that he realized that he couldn't hear the surrounding sounds at all!
Cold sweat slipped down in an instant, and he touched his face with trembling hands, but there was a very real touch on his skin, and he suddenly felt a little dazed. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew around, and then a melodious and long bell rang over, and two fire dragons in the distance slowly moved towards him.
He wanted to leave but found that he could not move at all, and could only watch the two long dragons come to him from far and near, and with this came an increasingly strong sense of fear.
The long dragon finally came to him, and then he finally saw that it was two human dragons with torches. Walking at the front of the line is a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest, the man is walking from time to time waving a piece of yellow rune paper, and at the same time there are words in his mouth, although he can't hear the sound, but according to the mouth shape, he can recognize that it should be a Taoist chant such as the immeasurable Tianzun Taishang Laojun is anxious like a law.
Behind the Taoist priest, a large group of people were dressed in linen and filial piety, led by the pair of twin sisters they met earlier, they held two black and white framed photos in their left and right hands, the photo on the left was the photo of Luo Xingpeng himself, and the photo on the right was a photo of his wife.
Followed by eight shirtless strong men on each side carrying two scarlet unhurried followers, the coffin on the left was not tightly covered, revealing a section half a person's head width, and the one on the right had been completely covered, he involuntarily glanced into the gap in the coffin, and found that it was himself lying inside!
He exclaimed in surprise, and then quickly covered his mouth, I don't know if it was his own exclamation, the crowd that was walking slowly suddenly stopped, and everyone slowly gathered around him, he wanted to run but found that he still couldn't move his feet, as if he had been poured on the ground with cement, so he tried to squat down.
At this time, the people who gathered around him began to stretch out their hands and grope blindly, he covered his mouth and nose, and watched in horror as those dry and bloodless hands swiped on the top of his head, bringing bursts of fishy yin wind.
Suddenly, he heard a voice: "He is here, it must be, I heard his voice just now!" It was his wife's voice, and strangely it disappeared soon. Then he heard a noise around him, followed by the voice of the proprietress: "Oh, I said little Robert, which sign of the little beauty do you fancy again, standing so stupidly to help me make a human sculpture?" Hurry up and what do you want to eat, the old rule of fried noodles with shredded pork and a little spicy? ”
Only then did he find that he had returned to the familiar food stall, and in front of him was the very familiar proprietress looking at him with a smile on her face, and the boss next to her was sweating profusely stir-frying in an iron pot.
"I, I, um, um, the old rules!" He felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly realized that he could make a sound, and then he saw his wife anxiously looking for something on the opposite street.
Suddenly, his wife turned her head and saw herself, so she looked left and right and hurriedly walked over, and hurriedly counted: "You dead ghost, finally appeared, just now you called me to come here for no reason, but no one can see it after I came, so I looked for you for more than half an hour before you showed up, hurry up and explain what is ...... today"
The wife's words came to an abrupt halt, and a truck that came out of nowhere slanted and slammed into the wife, who had already run half the way, into the air, and then crashed headlong into a nearby grocery store before stopping.
He was stunned and watched his wife slowly cross a parabola in front of his eyes, and then lay down not far away without moving at all, and soon a pool of blood slowly spread towards him with teeth and claws, and he cried out in a long time, and then the sky swirled and he lost consciousness in front of him.
Finally woke up from the coma, and for the first time saw his daughter's weak body lying on the side of his bed, he couldn't help but moisten his eyes, and gently stretched out his right hand to gently rub his daughter's hair.
After being discharged from the hospital, he returned home with his daughter, and looked at the posthumous photo of his wife hanging on the wall, and couldn't help but feel sad again, and tears could not be suppressed. Although he was heartbroken, but life had to go on, he didn't care about recuperating at home for a while, so he contacted his day shift partner who shared a car with him, but fortunately, that person was very righteous and paid for him for a month's rental fee, so he said that he could continue to take over that night.
When he took over that night, the man stuffed him with another 500 yuan, and after he couldn't get rid of it, he was very grateful and said that he would try his best to pay back the advance payment, and the man patted him on the shoulder and said something like a sad change and went home.
The days soon faded away, and he gradually came out of the shadow of widowhood, perhaps because he chatted and interacted more with his daughter, who became more cheerful and confident than before, and often tried to do simple household chores, and later learned to cook.
During a night shift he met a lady, who was average-looking but extremely talkative, and because she often rode in his car, she soon became a regular customer. Gradually, the two began to talk about nothing, and then he learned that this woman's husband and the mistress had an unfortunate accident on the way away, leaving a butt of debts and a three-year-old girl, so he also told the woman about his widowhood, and the two soon found that there was an indescribable emotion between each other, even when she was resting, she would ask him to take herself to the lake to relax.
Perhaps because they had both been injured, the two of them were very careful to touch each other. Until one day his daughter accidentally met him and the woman shopping together, he looked at his daughter with some trepidation, but he didn't expect his daughter to pull the woman to the side and whisper to him for half an hour and then said: "Dad, I like Aunt Wu very much, so you have to work hard!" ”
Listening to his daughter's words, he felt a warmth in his heart, so he discussed with the woman to go to Suzhou on the weekend to take their respective daughters to have a good rest. However, just the night before, after sending the woman home, he went to a familiar food stall for supper as usual, and once again encountered the team carrying the coffin, but this time the original wife's photo was replaced by the woman surnamed Wu.
Feeling bad, he waited until he returned to normal and hurriedly drove to the woman's house, only to find that there was a fire, and suddenly a woman covered in fire appeared by the window holding a dark object, and then the person fell down violently, although the woman was unrecognizable and her facial features were distorted, but he still recognized that it was the woman surnamed Wu.
Then he thought of the young man who called him, so he called to question, and before he could open his mouth, he opened the other end of the phone: "Sir, do you feel very resentful, you inexplicably watched your beloved women leave one by one in front of you?" Actually, you were cursed, but unfortunately I don't have a deep Taoism, I originally wanted to call you to my house to avoid disaster that day, but you didn't listen, or collided with the evil spirit, although I helped you delay the two female ghosts, but ......"
He quickly interrupted the young man's words: "You lied, if it weren't for what you gave me, I wouldn't have been targeted!" The young man said very calmly: "You should have seen a funeral procession similar to them before the accident, can you see that the twins always have a photo of you and your beloved woman in their hands?" But every time you're fine, because that piece of blood and tears completely seals your breath and soul, so they can't find you! ”
Luo Xingpeng suddenly stopped when he said this, and at this time, there was a sudden thunder outside, and then the heavy rain fell one after another. He stared blankly at the rain, and Su Ranran urged: "What happened later? I hurriedly reached out to stop her from continuing her questioning, then pointed out the window.
In the pouring rain, a strange figure suddenly appeared among the pedestrians running, she walked slowly, letting the rain pour around her, but there was an invisible cover around her.
When she walked downstairs, she suddenly raised her head, her long black hair spread out, revealing a face full of scars, the pupil of her left eye hung from the corner of her eye, and her right eye was deeply sunken with a faint hint of demonic red light. There were seven half-submerged iron nails stuck in the bridge of her nose, and her mouth was tightly sewn with wire, but the corners of her mouth were cut alive again, revealing the back molars that were still flowing with blood-colored liquid, and a wide wooden block was nailed to her chin, faintly revealing a cone-shaped section from the top of her head, and the red and white on it were blurred.
"You saw it too! That girl was originally my daughter! Luo Xingpeng suddenly turned his head and closed his eyes, and two lines of tears slipped quietly.
"What's going on? Is your daughter cursed? Su Ranran approached me slightly with some fear, and a pair of miserable white and cold little hands trembled and grabbed my arm on one side and asked.
"Alas! I don't know what I've done! Luo Xingpeng said and buried his head and cried, the strange thing is that although his crying was not small, the people around him seemed to continue their actions without reacting.
After crying for a while, he finally calmed down, then he took a few tissues, wiped his face, and continued: "It all started after that phone call. I didn't really believe what the young man said, but then he told me that it was my daughter who would suffer next, and then he quickly told my daughter's name, birthday, and some secret things, as if he were talking about his own business, and there was nothing wrong with it! With that, he took a sip of water and continued.
Frightened, he listened to the young man, and in the evening he drove to the villa again after picking up a few random guests. The young man greeted him at the door early, and the two quickly entered the young man's mansion, looking at the magnificent decoration, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The young man gave him a cup of warm tea, I don't know if it was a mental effect, he felt unprecedented warmth and relaxation after drinking, the young man then took him to a side hall, where the lights were dim and the incense lingered, and as soon as he entered the door, he could smell a burst of strange fragrance, which made him very happy for the first time in his life, and then the young man pointed to a wall in the innermost part of the side hall and said, "Look there! With that, he handed him a flashlight.
He turned on his flashlight and shone it over, only to see that there was a delicate pagoda-like building, densely inlaid with many photos, and under the photos were a string of names. He walked a few steps, and soon found that somewhere in the penultimate row there were photos of the twins, below which were two names in vermilion: Zhu Liufen and Zhu Liufang, and there was a thin blood-red line extending upwards in their photos, and there was a row of photos on them, two of which caught his attention, it was his wife and a woman surnamed Wu, and their names were written in purple below.
Later, he found that his daughter's name appeared in the penultimate row, also in vermilion, but without a photo. So he turned around, and the young man walked over and said with a serious face: "It stands to reason that this Blood Resentment Soul Tower can't be shown to you, but you are one of the Mortal Raiders, so it's not an exception." ”
Luo Xingpeng looked at him with some puzzlement, so the young man pointed to the top row of the tower and said: "The so-called fateful robber means that the people on a complete branch line of this resentment are directly related to him, and this person is also indirectly related to the people on the other branch line. And the person you have an indirect relationship with is also faintly signing, so I gave you this pendant, remember that if one day you meet someone who can make the coagulated blood clot in this pendant turn into flowing blood, this person is it, and only this person can help you get rid of the curse completely. ”
After saying that, he took a pendant from his neck, and saw that the red in the transparent pendant was constantly flowing, and from time to time a gust of wind blew into my bones from inside.
