Chapter 5: Ghost Memory

The shadow wrapped in black gas rushed out, as if it wanted to rush to me!

I was trembling with fear, but I was finally much more mature than the average eight-year-old baby, and I kept a little conscious. I threw the paper crane that the master gave me at the black shadow in my hand, and as soon as I got out of my hand, it became the size of a real crane, just in front of the humanoid black qi that rushed over.

However, even the master and the strange old man could not die quickly, and there was definitely no way to do it with a paper crane made of paper money. It only made the black qi of the humanoid fade a little, but it still hit my chest all of a sudden, and before I could shout for help, I felt that the whole person was black in front of me, and I lost consciousness......

"It's so cold and hungry, give it to someone who stutters. Kind big brother and sister, give me something to eat, I'm so hungry I can't stand it......"

In my coma, I could inexplicably hear someone talking in my ear, and it sounded like Hanako, the kind of person I often see on the street, asking for food. It's winter now, and it's very cold in Sichuan this year, and it's pitiful to ask for food. I just thought it was strange, I was attacked by the starving guy just now, why did I close my eyes and hear that someone was asking for food?

When I opened my eyes, I saw a gloomy sky and white sunlight. In addition to the sound of Hanako asking for food, there are faint voices of other people talking, there is the sound of dogs barking, and there are some tiled and thatched houses around......

What is this? What's going on?

I was a little confused, and sat up from the ground, only to find that I seemed to have fainted in a village, and when I looked at the position of the sun in the sky, it seemed that it was almost noon, and there were people cooking in the village, and white smoke was rising from every house.

it! Did I see a ghost? Oh no, I've been a hell of a ghost, and I'm a pretty good ghost. But why did you suddenly come to this village?

Patting the dust off my body, I stood up, only to realize that the poor voice I had just heard asking for food was right next to me. It was a young man of about twenty years old, dressed very little, tattered, and indeed a person named Hanako.

Although I don't know what the hell is going on now, it's weird, but I still feel kind to see someone so pitiful. Go up and say big brother, are you hungry? Why don't you come home with me, and when you get back to town, my master will have something to eat."

As a result, Hanako ignored me at all, as if she didn't see me, and continued to plead with the people in the village walking around me, but no one seemed to care about him. There was also an old aunt who spat at him when she passed by and said, "You little thief, you stole the steamed buns in Li Mei's house yesterday!" It's hard for everyone to be so cold this year, what you eat is to see that you are pitiful, and you are still stealing!

I'll just say, why don't these villagers care about him, it turns out that he stole things before, not only is Hanako but also a thief.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I was hungry and I couldn't help it, yesterday... Yesterday you gave a little little, I really can't eat, and it's cold, I'm sorry......" This is called Hanako kept apologizing, but no one listened to him, only some children who were five or six years younger than me followed him, spitting, throwing stones I wanted to stop these people, but I found myself actually passing through them!

This discovery sent chills down my body, because in my memory, only ghosts could do that. Don't...... I'm already dead and a ghost? Is this Hades? But it's not like it.

I was wondering, only to find something even stranger. Because it's only been a while, it's already the sun about to set, this can't be, it's just noon?

At this time, Hanako went to the back of a large house to find a sheltered place and shrunk into a ball, and out of curiosity and pity for him, I followed. When I walked with him to this big house, I took a casual look at this big house and was immediately stunned.

Because this house ...... It's exactly the same as the house with many coffins in Reservoir Village! It's just that it's daytime, and I don't have that eerie feeling.

Is this place a pond village?

I'm a little confused.

What's even more strange is that I noticed that the curled up Hanako seemed to look up at me at this time, with a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was all dark, the wind was strong and cold, although I wore thick clothes, but I couldn't stand it a little, this is called Hanako, you can imagine. I saw that he was pitiful, and as soon as I gritted my teeth, I took off my coat and walked over to give it to him.

This made Hanako suddenly raise her head and look at me with a fierce look. I was stunned, a little scared, but I still cautiously reached out and handed over my coat: "Look at you wearing so little, I wear a lot, and the clothes are ...... for you"

The fierceness in his eyes turned to surprise at this point, but it quickly disappeared again, and he just shook his head, stopped caring about me, and continued to shrink into the corner.

I had to take back my clothes, and in the blink of an eye, I felt like it was late at night again, which was very strange and scared me.

Suddenly, a scream suddenly rang out from inside the village: "Ah! Killed, killed. Someone stole something and killed someone! ”

It was so loud and terrible that I felt miserable when I heard it, and then the whole village was in an uproar, and torches were lit up one after another, and there was a commotion from the glow of some flashlights.

Before I could figure out what was going on, I saw a black figure rushing towards me and Hanako, panting and looking like I was in a hurry. The black shadow saw Hanako who was huddled in the corner, and rushed over, as if something was stuffed into Hanako's hand, and touched him again.

Hanako didn't know if she was frightened or didn't react, but she didn't resist. In the blink of an eye, the black shadow ran again, and after a short run, there was a fire and a flashlight all around, and the villagers had already chased after it.

It also became very bright, and I saw Hanako, who had already stood up, with a bloody knife in his hand and blood all over his body. Although I'm young, I reacted at this time, the black shadow just now was a murderer, and he framed this called Hanako.

", it turns out that you, the thief, called Hanako to kill someone!"

One of the leaders of those villagers roared, picked up the flat pole in his hand and rushed over, aiming at the head of Hanako, who was not fully conscious. There was a thud, and blood immediately flowed from the top of the head.

"Yes, it must be him. Hanako has been in our village for a few days, and we have given him food. I stole food yesterday, and today I stole money and killed people. Shoot him! Shoot him! ”

The villagers were excited and rushed up. Poles, hoes, sickles in the hands...... All sorts of farm work were all directed at Hanako, but I knew he was innocent.

"Don't, don't fight! He didn't do it. ”

I shouted anxiously, and then rushed over to get in front of the villagers, preventing them from continuing to fight Hanako. He collapsed to the ground, bleeding, and apparently the blow to his skull had seriously injured him.

At this time, the villagers could see me. An adult with red eyes pointed at me and said You are a turtle son, this is called Hanako killed my wife, I must kill him today, if you dare to stop it, I will kill you too!

I was only eight years old, and I was a little scared when I was yelled at by an adult. But the master's education since childhood made me unable to leave. The master said that although we are not intellectuals, just ordinary people, we must also know that we must at least be worthy of our own conscience.

"He didn't kill the person, he and I have been here, I just saw a black shadow running from here, he was framed." My heart was pounding, afraid that these adults would really kill me, but I didn't go away.

"Little rabbit, I'll kill you!" The red-eyed villager roared, and the shoulder in his hand was aimed at my shoulder and struck me.

With a bang, I felt like the bones in my shoulder were going to break, it hurt, it hurt! I've never felt so painful. But my stubbornness also came up, and although the tears kept flowing down, I just wouldn't let go. Another flat shoulder hit me in the leg, and I fell to my knees in an instant.

Just as I was about to come down the third pole, I felt as if I had been pulled by a person, and I flew straight out, to the roof of the house, and could not move!!

Then I saw the villagers rush up and beat the innocent poor Hanako as if they were crazy. Flesh and blood were flying, and my tears couldn't stop flowing. Just keep repeating a sentence, not him, not him...... Then he struggled and tried to rush through.

But there was no way, and soon, the villager named Hanako was beaten to death by the angry and completely unexplained villagers, covered with blood and minced meat.

I covered my mouth and cried, it was so miserable, it was really miserable......

All of a sudden, the surroundings changed again, as if it was night, and it was eerily quiet. Suddenly, a cloud of black gas came out of the ground, and it looked like it was the same as when the starving man came out! Then he turned into a person with a pale face and blood-red eyes.

It's Hanako!

At this time, I seemed to understand something. But after all, it's not very old, so it's not completely clear. Many years later, when I look back, I feel that I was so lucky......

Next, it was this black gas that killed people. In a short period of time, the entire village, men, women, and children, were all killed by the ghosts, and not a single person was alive......

The surrounding villages seemed to disappear all at once, and I found myself standing alone in the empty darkness. Then, the ghost flew up to me, staring at me with blood-red eyes, and then, the blood light dispersed, and it changed back to the one named Hanako.

"You little child, why aren't you afraid of death, why do you want to stop those villagers from beating me to death?" The ghost spoke.
