About ten minutes later, I arrived home.

Xiao Wang's house and my house are in the same direction, but Xiao Wang's house is farther away than mine.

Thinking of Xiao Wang walking alone at night, I was afraid that he would encounter something unclean again, so I said with concern: "Xiao Wang, why don't you sleep at my house tonight!" It's not good if you come across something unclean! ”

Xiao Wang shook his head and said, "No! My dad is sick and I'm going back to take care of him! ”

When Xiao Wang was one year old, his mother ran away with someone, and he and his father depended on him since he was a child. I also heard recently that Xiao Wang's father had a cerebral infarction and needed to be taken care of.

After separating from Xiao Wang, in order to give myself courage, I sang in my heart while running towards home.

My family lives in a very old-fashioned building, there are no unit doors, and the light bulb inside the staircase has long since broken down, and it is very dark inside.

Luckily, my family lives on one floor and doesn't have to climb stairs.

When I came to the door, I immediately took out the key to open the door, but because my hands were a little shaky, the key could not be inserted into the lock hole.

Just when I was in a hurry, a little boy's voice sounded beside me: "Uncle, settle the bill for me!" ”

Hearing the little boy's voice, my hands trembled, and the key fell to the ground.

I turned my head and saw the little ghost kid grinning at me, two rows of black teeth neatly arranged on the sockets. He held a note in his hand and held it up to me.

The dark money is still the dark money in the female ghost's hand just now.

At this moment, the door of my house "creaked".

The door opened, and my mother poked her head out of it and said, "Zhao Zhang, you're back!" ”

The little ghost child was gone, and disappeared from my eyes.

I picked up the key from the ground, stepped through the door, and immediately closed it.

I leaned against the door, gasping for air, my chest surging together.

Seeing that my face was pale and covered with cold sweat, my mother put her hand on my forehead, touched it and asked, "Zhao Zhang, is it uncomfortable?" ”

I shook my head and walked decadently to the living room and sat down on the couch.

My dad came out of the back room, saw my tired and restless appearance, and asked with concern, "Zhao Zhang, what's wrong with you?" ”

My mom and dad would wait at home every time I was working the night shift and wouldn't go to bed until I was safely home.

I was afraid that they would be worried, so I shook my head and lied: "A batch of goods came to the supermarket today, and it took more than an hour to move, and I was tired to death!" ”

My parents believed it and stopped chasing me.

My mom turned around and went to the kitchen to get me something to eat.

I waved my hand and said to my mother, "Mom, I ate at the supermarket, don't be busy!" I'm so tired, I'm going to get some sleep! ”

I got up from the couch, went back to my room, and closed the door.

No matter how much I slept, I couldn't sleep, and the figure of the child and mother ghost kept flashing in my mind.

After tossing and turning for more than an hour, I got up and opened the door to the shrine in the living room, took out three sticks of incense, lit them and inserted them on the incense burner.

The shrine was invited by my second uncle for my family, and it is said to ward off evil spirits.

Before that, I was an atheist and had never incensed an idol in a shrine, and even scoffed at seeing my mother incense a shrine.

My dad was also very unhappy with my mom's worship of the gods, and my dad was also an atheist.

After experiencing the ghost of the child, I have to believe that there are really ghosts in this world.

After putting on the incense and praying in my heart, I felt that I was no longer so anxious and seemed to be in a much better mood.

Maybe it's psychological comfort, maybe it's really working.

Just as I turned around and was about to leave, I noticed that one incense stick in the middle was burning very quickly, and in a short time, it burned a lot more than the other two incense sticks.

The fire on the incense head is red for a while, and dark for a while, like a person smoking.

I was shocked to see this.

I vaguely remember that my second uncle once told me that if one of the three incense sticks burns faster than the other two, it is a bad omen.

Thinking of the child and mother ghost I met today, my heart can't help but be even more nervous.

Originally, I wanted to go into the house to sleep, but now I can't sleep even more, and I am even more anxious than before.

After thinking about it, I think I should talk to my second uncle about this matter.

But it's already past two o'clock in the morning, and my second uncle must have gone to bed.

I sighed and turned back to my room.

I don't know when, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

I picked up the phone and immediately called my second uncle, but my second uncle didn't answer.

I called several times in succession, but my second uncle still didn't answer any of them.

I had just put down the phone when my phone rang.

I picked it up and saw that it was Xiao Wang calling.

I only then remembered Xiao Wang, and I don't know if he arrived home safely yesterday. But when I think of him calling me, I must have arrived home safely yesterday.

I picked up the phone, pressed the answer button, and scolded with a smile: "Xiao Wang, were you scared to death last night?" ”

"Uncle, settle the bill for me!" The voice of a little ghost child came from the phone.

Hearing the voice of the little ghost child, my hand shook, and the phone fell to the ground with a "pop".

I looked at my phone on the ground, and my heart was pounding violently.

"Uncle, settle the bill for me!" The voice of the little ghost child came out of the microphone, but the caller ID on the screen was Xiao Wang's.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Immediately afterwards, the little ghost child laughed, his voice was full of poignant, and he didn't feel like he was laughing, but crying.

I couldn't help but think of the scene when I came home yesterday, when the little ghost child grinned and held the dark money in his hand, and held it up in front of me.

I quickly picked up my phone and pressed the turn off button.

I let out a long breath and looked at the phone in my hand with trepidation.

Just then, my phone rang again. I was startled, my hands trembled, and my phone almost fell to the ground again.

When I saw that it was my second uncle on the screen, I quickly pressed the answer button as if I had grasped a life-saving straw.

But after pressing the answer button, I regretted it a little again, what if it was a little ghost boy calling?

I stared at my phone, pricked up my ears, and listened quietly, my heart beating my throat.

"Zhao Zhang, what's so urgent? Called me five times in a row! I was taking a shower! ”

When I heard that it was the second uncle's voice, I breathed a sigh of relief.

I said, "Second uncle, come to my house, I have met a ghost!" ”

The second uncle was stunned for a moment when he heard my words, and then said very seriously: "Zhao Zhang, have you really seen a ghost?" This is no joke! ”

I nodded desperately: "Second uncle, it's true, come on!" ”

The second uncle said, "Okay, you wait for me!" I'll go! ”

Hanging up, I paced back and forth in the house alone.
