Chapter 17: The Shoulder Ghost
Finally the next day, Uncle Trench Coat and Geng Simeng and I put on those mountaineering equipment and planned to go up the mountain again, this Dragon and Tiger Mountain is actually very big, we can't get to it if we walk like this for a day or two, so we are ready to climb the mountain here for a few days.
We brought a lot of food, we walked a little during the day, and when we passed through a slit, everyone had to turn sideways to get through, and when I passed here, I felt that my shoulders were getting heavier and heavier, and I don't know if I walked too much, so this happened.
When we passed here, I felt like a thousand pounds of boulders on my shoulders, and I almost couldn't breathe, and we walked all the way, until at night, we had to find the hole and go in to rest.
Never thought that when we entered a cave, before the tent was taken out, we found that there were some blue, blue, green and green things floating inside the cave, it couldn't be a ghost fire, right?
According to the scientific angle, these things are "ghost fires" or "phosphorus fires", which usually appear in the countryside and appear among graves on dry days in summer. However, it occasionally appears in the city, for reasons that are unknown. Because human bones contain phosphorus, phosphine is produced when phosphorus reacts with water or alkali, which is a gas that can spontaneously combust, is lightweight, and moves when the wind blows, but it has not been proven. When walking, it will drive it to move behind, and when you look back, it is very scary, so it is called "ghost fire" by those who are timid or superstitious. Overall, the ghost fire remains an unsolved mystery.
The ghost fire looked terrifying, because it was hanging in mid-air. Looking at it always gives a sense of panic, especially in the middle of the night.
In order to find out the situation inside the cave, Uncle Trench Coat and I looked at each other, and I told Geng Simeng not to come in, but she told us, "I'm a wizard, I'm not afraid!" ”
"Still no, you girl, if there is danger, we don't worry!"
Under our persuasion, she didn't come with her in the end, we put away our luggage, and we went into the cave together, Uncle Trench Coat took out his mobile phone to turn on the lighting, and I also learned from him, although the mobile phone has no signal now, but it can still be used for lighting.
Slowly walking into the cave, after some distance, we seemed to find something on the entrance of the cave in front of us, and after a serious look, we found that there were many large and small caves not far away, and an ancient coffin was placed in the cave entrance, because the color of the mountain rock and the night were almost integrated, so we looked like a coffin suspended in the night sky?!
Seeing this, Uncle Trench Coat suddenly said: "You can't go here, it's sealed, let's go back, have you seen those ghost fires?" We go forward, and they go back! ”
If Uncle Trench Coat hadn't reminded me of this, I really wouldn't have paid attention.
The moment we turned to go back, we found that the ghost fires were following us, and my eyes were always watching behind us, and it felt as if the ghost fires were just when we went in and kept retreating, and when we left now, they followed.
Why is this happening? These ghostly fires look weird. Thinking that I suddenly slammed into the back of Uncle Trench Coat, I asked him, "Why don't you leave?" ”
"There seems to be something more up ahead!"
With that, I turned sideways and saw that there was something more in front of me, it was a tall tree, big enough to block our way!
"Something's wrong, we didn't have this tree behind us just now!"
No way? Are we on the wrong track?
"Impossible, because it's only been here for a few minutes."
It seems that we are really trapped here, Uncle Trench Coat turned his head and walked behind him, so I had to hurriedly follow him, hoping that he would have a way to get out of here.
I never thought that not long after we turned around and left, we saw that Geng Simeng was running in the opposite direction, wasn't she outside? Why did you run towards the inside of the cave?
I was amazed and my colleague yelled, "Don't come near us, you must not be Geng Simeng!" ”
"What? I'm Simeng, why do you say that? ”
Originally, I wanted to say it, but Uncle Trench Coat pulled me from behind at the moment: "This person is Simeng, we are in the wrong direction, and it is really a ghost hitting the wall, wait for me!" ”
I didn't understand what Uncle Trench Coat was saying, but when Simeng approached, I asked her, "What evidence do you have?" ”
"Just now I saw that you didn't come out for so long after you went in, and because I was worried, I planned to come in and look for it!"
Saying that, Uncle Trench Coat ignored us, took out three roots from his trouser pocket and did not light them, and said to the inside of the cave: "Old men in the cave, we have offended you, here are some of our thoughts, you can suck it, don't be angry if you suck it!" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw that the cigarette butt was not lit and glowed a scarlet color, and it burned on its own, and the smoke drifted all the way to the inside of the cave, and after a while we walked to the place where the ghost had hit the wall, and found that the tree was gone.
It seems that Uncle Trench Coat's trick really works, and when we went to the tent again, we slept in sleeping bags, who knew that I felt a special pain in my shoulder, Geng Simeng asked me, is it too tired to carry my luggage today, so I want to rub it.
I saw that there was a beautiful woman who wanted to rub my shoulder, of course I wouldn't postpone it, I didn't want to rub my shoulder, I couldn't help but scream, this shoulder hurt too. It was as if Simeng's hand was a needle, and it kept sticking into my shoulder, causing me to grin hoarsely in pain.
I couldn't help but scream, Simeng hurriedly asked me what I was doing, I said that my shoulder hurt, so she helped me take off my clothes, planning to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, my clothes slipped off my shoulders, and she shouted out a few times, and I asked her in surprise what was going on, and she pointed to my shoulders and said in fear: "Fusheng, look at what you have on your shoulder!?" ”
I looked over my shoulder, and I was surprised that there was a footprint about half an inch in size, and it was so obvious that it was scary, and when did such a footprint appear on my shoulder, I remember that before I got to this cave, I passed a narrow mountain path with them, and I began to feel extremely heavy on my shoulder.
Uncle Trench Coat also saw the situation on my shoulder at this moment, and he came over to me and said, "This is a shoulder ghost, I don't think I will meet you!" ”
No way? Could it be that the ghost that the villagers said before really exists?
Now it's hard for me to believe it, but the fact is that this footprint on the shoulder is towards the chest, like a person leaning over my shoulder.
At this moment, Uncle Trench Coat was also afraid of the appearance of such marks on his body, so he took off his clothes to check, but there was nothing on his shoulders at all, which proves that there is no shoulder ghost on his body?
Now only Simeng has not checked it, but she is a girl, and she is embarrassed to take off her clothes in front of us, so she said to the uncle in the trench coat: "You can't see it, I can only show it to Fusheng!" ”
Uncle Trench Coat grimaced and replied coldly: "When did I say I was going to watch it!" ”
After scolding, Uncle Trench Coat returned to the sleeping bag alone, leaving me and Simeng in the tent, she slipped her clothes down to the shoulder position for me to see, but I found that there were still no footprints on her shoulder, which means that I was the only one among the three people who was entangled by the shoulder ghost?
Why is this happening? I remember that three people passed through the mountain road, why was I the only one who had an accident?
Knowing the situation, Uncle Trench Coat actually came out of the tent again, he stood behind us and told us: "There is no way to encounter this kind of thing now, there is only one thing you can do, that is, we will help you get something, these days you will slowly feel as if you are about to fall to the ground under the pressure of something, and this situation will become more and more serious." ”
I didn't really believe Uncle Trench Coat at the time, because I didn't meet it, but when I fell asleep tonight, I suddenly felt a shadow enter my tent and slowly float into my sleeping bag, and a chill immediately hit.
I was directly awakened by the chill, and the moment I opened my eyes, I found that the person in front of me turned out to be Yuxuan, didn't she say that she came for a while?
Why is it in front of my eyes now?
When I saw her, she stroked my face, so that my face immediately froze, and then my body became cold, but I endured the chill and said to her, "Why are you here?" ”
"I'm coming to see you, and I've got to tell you something, that is, you can't drink water tomorrow at noon, even if you're thirsty, remember, or you'll have an accident!"
I don't know why Yuxuan said these words to me, but now I trust her the most, although I am cold, I tremble and nodded, because my heart is still in her hands, the last time before I set off for Longhu Mountain, in fact, I still encountered something that I didn't tell you, when I went to the hospital to check my heart, obviously I couldn't feel my heartbeat, but the doctor told me that my heart was still there.
It seems that no one else can see that I don't have a heart, only I know.
Hearing Yuxuan's advice, I could only agree, and then she kissed me on the face very gently and said to me: "You must not die, I am still waiting for you to marry me!" ”
I nodded again, and she touched one arm to my heart, again not feeling her own heartbeat, and then she saw the footprints on my shoulder, and a chill blew slowly on them, making the pain noticeably less.
After a while, she slowly left, and I kept calling her name, so that Simeng and Uncle Trench Coat, who were next to me, came over and asked me what was the matter.
In order to prevent Simeng and Uncle Trench Coat from finding out that I had met the dead Yuxuan, I covered up and said that I just had a nightmare.
When they saw that nothing was wrong, they went to sleep again.
