Chapter 5 Before the Window in the Middle of the Night
On the way back, I was puzzled and asked, "Old man, why don't you stay at Hao's house and go back tomorrow?" ”
"You are not an adult thing, do you really treat you as a guest in the Hao family?" The old man glanced at the Hao family and continued to walk back.
"Old man, do you think this Hao family will move?"
The old man sighed, lowered his head and muttered, "Move? How easy should you be to move? The Hao family owes so many debts, it's time to pay them back. ”
"Old man, does whipping ghosts really make ghosts scatter? Don't be your. "The old man never left his body, and he always took it with him in the bath, and I never saw him use it, and I always doubted its true use.
"Hehe, when you use it, you know how many guys are not as good as this whip." The old man raised his head like a proud rooster.
After saying so much, in fact, what he wanted to ask the most was why he didn't catch the female ghost, with the old man's ability, if he wanted to catch the female ghost, it would be no problem. In the end, the words came to my lips and still didn't come out. grew up so big, I always thought that the old man was an ordinary rural old man, so that I really didn't think about the story behind it.
I packed up my things and put them in the west wing, walked into the old man's house, and saw the old man looking at the ghost whip in a daze, "What is the old man looking at?" I think it's just an ordinary whip. ”
"You melon baby, you know a fart, this is made of ghost hair, that's all there is in the world." The old man touched the whip as if he were touching a lover, and I got goosebumps all over my body.
"Well, you're going to sleep with a whip all the time. The Hao family gave a lot of Mao Mao today, right? I changed my words, looked at the old man flatteringly, and rubbed my fingers.
"Hehe, I knew you kid only had money in his head. Reach out. "The old man took out a big ticket of fifty and looked me stupid. Then I put it back in my pocket, and I pulled out the crumpled five dimes and put it in the palm of my hand.
I pointed to the pocket of his jacket with fifty on his body, "Old man, the Hao family gave me five cents for the big ticket you received, you are too picky." ”
"You know what a fart, I can't save money for you to beg your mother-in-law? Don't give it to me. As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the five cents in my hand.
I immediately clenched my palms and didn't let him take the five cents away. "I said, over the years, you have praised enough for me to take a few mothers-in-law, and I haven't seen you find a matchmaker to tell me about matchmaking, just to see how little alcohol you drink." Later, I learned that the old man did praise a lot of money, and that was all for later.
"I'm going to sleep, if you don't go out, keep vigil for me here." The old man immediately lay down and fell asleep, no matter what I said, he didn't say a word.
I went back to my room, and I slept until I was half awake, and there seemed to be someone talking by the window, and the more I listened, the more I couldn't hear clearly.
"Xuanzi~~~~~" I sat up, lit the oil lamp, held my breath, and saw that nothing had changed in the room.
"Meow~~Meow~~Meow~~Meow~~" Sure enough, the cat is called Spring, and the cat is crying like a child, especially in the middle of the night, which is particularly infiltrating. I gasped and wiped the cold sweat from my forehead. Blow out the oil lamp, lie down and continue sleeping.
When I was dazed and about to fall asleep, "Xuan~Zi~" I opened my eyes wide and didn't dare to move, this time the sound was by the window, it was definitely not a hallucination.
I held my breath again, approached the window in the dark, and listened to the movement outside with my ears sideways, as if it had never sounded like it had never been. Wrong? Why is there no frog croaking in the summer? (In the summer, the ponds in the countryside are filled with frogs chirping all night.) It's quiet all around.
"Who are you?" I dared to yell out the window.
"Xuanzi, don't you sleep, don't sleep for the bald head to keep vigil" The old man's voice came from the room, and with the old man's voice, the surroundings returned to normal.
Vigil for the bald head? He's a ghost, and he won't be sleepy no matter how he keeps vigil, I'm different. The bald head was met by the old man when I was a child, I went to someone's house to exorcise ghosts, and I didn't hurt anyone, so the old man took him home and made a night watchman, I was weak and sick when I was a child, and no one dared to bully me, only he let me bully.
I couldn't sleep anymore, afraid that the sound would come again, so I picked up the freshly lit oil lamp and touched the old man's room. The old man's room is sparsely la, and he doesn't know what he's doing?
"You'd better not come back in the future, it's not good for anyone, who's at the door?" Did the old man find me? Who is the old man talking to?
"Old man, I just found something by my window, come and protect you." Even if you're afraid, find a valid reason.
"No, you're afraid to let the bald head accompany you." Damn, that's a straightforward answer.
I walked back to my room boringly, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, there must be someone in the old man's room, it can't be the golden house.
With a creak, my door was pushed open, and I turned my head to look at the bald head floating in the air. This is the rule I set, I am relatively timid, even if I live with ghosts, I am still afraid of ghosts. When a bald head enters my house, he must knock on the door, and he must come in through the door, and then he knocks on the door and ignores the bald head.
"The old man said you were scared, let me come and accompany you." The bald head said to me with a mocking expression.
I sat up on the kang head, ", I'm afraid he's scared." By the way, what was it outside my window just now? Is it the same one in the old man's room and outside the window? "The bald head has been keeping vigil outside, for sure he knows.
"Huh? Just now! There's no one in the old man's house! As for your window, hehe, I just went out to fetch a glass of water for the old man, and when I came out of the old man's room, I saw that the lights in your room were on and off, and I scared and scared you. "I looked at the bald head and stammered, as if it was made up.
"Honestly, what the hell is going on," I said to him.
The bald head looked at me and sighed, "Hi! I wanted to try if you slept or not, if you fell asleep, I planned to steal your money secretly, buy some high-quality incense, tribute to taste, yesterday, the old five next door, and new goods. "I'll go, this guy is really a ghost for nothing, every time he goes to Lao Wu's house to get incense and tribute, he will leave the money to others, even if he is hungry, he won't take it if he has no money.
"You are a ghost, how can you have so much morality, give you a dime, don't say to your ghost friends that I am a dime like the old man, save some flowers!" I generously took out a dime of brand-new tickets from the fat butler, and the reputation of the old man's iron rooster had already been spread by the bald head all over the country.
The bald head took the ticket and looked at it. "Hehe, being a ghost is the same as being a human, you always have to pay it back."
"You're not out yet? Your little emerald is waiting for you. I teased.
"She went back early, and advised you not to please your mother-in-law, please your mother-in-law regrets for eternity, not for your mother-in-law, but for life. Aren't you afraid? I'll come with you. The bald head grinned and put the money in his pocket.
"Regret for life, you said lightly, hurry up, who wants you to be a ghost." I pushed it out of the room and turned my head to sleep. The bald head successfully diverted my attention and took away my dime.
