Chapter 80: A Night of Thunder and Lightning
I gave myself courage and strode in. The yard was very large, and the yard was covered with weeds that were one man tall, and the wind rustled the weeds, coupled with the pouring rain, and from time to time a flash of lightning and thunder rolled, adding a bit of horror to the night.
I stood in the courtyard shivering, and there was nothing more frightening than being in a haunted deserted house. I suddenly remembered the absurd rumors of old Beijing, I heard that there is a Forbidden City in Beijing, and the Forbidden City will be open to the public from time to time, and tourists can go in for sightseeing, but some places are closed all year round and are not allowed to tourists to visit, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, the Forbidden City will definitely be closed.
I heard that the Forbidden City was haunted, and people often heard the voices of palace maids and eunuchs, and sometimes when they passed by there, they could even see a black shadow flashing quickly, and no one knew what it was.
I don't dare to think about it anymore, don't see the ghost by then, but scare myself into a fainting! So I pretended nothing was going on and gently pushed the door open.
The house was in a mess, some of the furniture was already in shambles, cobwebs, and the floor was covered with thick dust.
I found some broken furniture, lit a fire with a lighter with a grinding wheel, made a simple wooden rack, and took off my clothes and hung them to dry. With the fire, I am not so afraid, the source of all terror in the world comes from darkness, and when the light appears, the darkness is expelled and all evil will be exposed.
It was still pouring rain outside, and the wind poured in through the windows and doors, and the tongue of fire shook for a while, like a young girl dancing. I was fascinated by it, and before I knew it, I was fascinated by the dancing flames, and it felt like a ghost pressing the bed, and I wanted to come to my senses, but I couldn't.
I thought I was too tired and needed a good night's sleep, so I gave up and fell to the ground with black eyes, unconscious.
I was woken up by a cold wind, and when I woke up, it was dark in front of me, and I suddenly remembered that I was now in the mysterious haunted mansion. I remember that I had a fire before going to bed, how could it be extinguished so quickly! An ominous premonition began to creep in my heart, and I rushed to touch the lighter in my pocket.
I searched all over my body, but I couldn't find a lighter, and it was pitch black, and I could only see things clearly when lightning streaked across the sky. I fumbled to find the clothes hanging on the wooden shelf, but I didn't have time to put them on, and stumbled to the door. There was something wrong with this place, the fire was enough to burn until dawn, but it went out for no reason, I don't believe it was the wind blowing!
Then another flash of lightning swept across the night sky, and I opened the door. A cold wind blew, accompanied by water droplets lapping on me, and the biting cold came, I shivered and wanted to retreat, but reason told me that even if I froze to death, I couldn't be scared to death by myself!
I put my clothes on my body and rushed into the rain desperately, but there was a muddy water under my feet, and there was mud in the water, and I was stuck in the mud and could not pull out! It took a long time to stumble a few steps!
The water in the yard has risen, and I think it must have become a **sea outside, and it is not a wise choice to go back at this time. The mountain road is not easy to walk, there are potholes, and in some places there are even holes that lead directly to the ground, so it is difficult to get out in case you fall in. To be on the safe side, I thought I'd better wait for the rain to stop before heading out! Now I have to stay, even if it's really haunted, I can't panic, people say that they don't do bad things, they are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, they are afraid of him being a bird!
So I went back into the house again, and hummed a little song to give myself courage.
The moon bends to shine on the tall buildings,
High-rise buildings were built by the poor,
The north wind rises in the cold winter wax moon,
The rich laugh and the poor grieve
Singing and singing, I suddenly felt that this song was not very suitable, and the more I sang it, the more uncomfortable I felt. This song is one of my favorites, which was widely circulated in the remote mountainous areas in the 80s, and tells the story of the rich people who ate and drank well during the three-year famine in the 60s, while the poor could only go hungry, and there were not a few people who died of starvation in those years.
I am very glad that I live in a new era, and now that I have reformed and opened up, I no longer have to go hungry.
I wanted to change the tune, but I found out that I would only do this one! So I opened the door and stood in the door and read the Bible, which I had heard and heard that purified the soul, but I didn't know if it could purify the unclean things!
Whoever is thirsty, come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me is like the Scripture says: Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.
I will only have this one sentence, and after reading one sentence, Jiang Lang will be finished! While the rain was still going on, and from time to time a flash of lightning struck, and by the light of the lightning I saw a table in the room, and there seemed to be something on it.
I fumbled my way over and touched something on the table, which seemed to be a lamp. What is surprising is that there are still two flintstones. I've used flint and steel, I know how to use it, and soon I was lighting the lamp, and I'm glad it was still on!
By the dim light, I could see that the pile of firewood I had lit before seemed to be wet from the rain, and the firewood was wet. But there is no rain leakage on the roof at all, what the hell is going on with this firewood!
I held the lamp in one hand, shielded the fire with my hand, and gently came to the door, closed the door, and carefully walked around the room, disposing of some old furniture, and found nothing unusual.
I think it's possible that the wind was strong and brought rain in to extinguish the fire, but this explanation is more plausible. In fact, there are no ghosts at all, most of these villagers are scaring themselves!
I smiled wryly and shook my head, since the rain kept falling and there was no intention of stopping, then it would be okay for me to sleep for one night and go back! So I made a simple nest out of cloth, took off my wet clothes and lay down.
As soon as I lay down, all of a sudden, I seemed to hear a high-pitched cry, which sounded like a baby's cry, and the sound only appeared for a moment, and then it stopped abruptly.
Since I hadn't fallen asleep yet, I could hear it clearly, and the sound was coming from inside the house, just around the corner.
I rolled over and got up, and there was a big closet in the corner, and the closet was more than one person tall, and the sound came from the closet! I gently approached the closet with the lamp in my hand, ready to turn it on to see what was going on, but then a cold wind suddenly came from behind me, blowing out the kerosene lamp in my hand.
I jerked my head back, and I felt like something was staring at me! I couldn't see anything in the darkness, and I could feel my heart pounding.
At this moment, a flash of lightning pierced the night sky, and I saw a woman with a cloak hanging from the beams of the house!
