Chapter 2: Ghost Singing

I am a poor baby, born and died of my mother, died of my father at the age of three, begged for a living after that, and fainted in the field when I was five years old, and was picked up by the kind Chen Guodong. At this point, I changed my surname and recognized him as my grandfather.

Grandpa's hometown is called Chenjia Town, and most of the hundreds of households in the whole town are surnamed Chen, but because grandpa was a loser before, and later he was deducted by the people with a big hat of "bankrupt landlord", so the Chen family has long drawn a line with grandpa and severed the relationship. And because he is dressed in the name of "landlord", his grandfather has not been allocated land, and this kind of farming for a living is not possible.

At this time, my grandfather because I had this oil bottle, so I couldn't go to the rivers and lakes anymore, in order to feed my oil bottle, he did his old business in the village, and showed the people in the village feng shui, looked at the disease and exorcised evil spirits, fortune-telling and appearance, and did everything.

Not to mention, grandpa really has some ability, and he is also optimistic about many people, and his reputation has also spread. At that time, his grandfather Chen Guodong had not yet turned his feet, although the family did not farm, but his life was leisurely, wandering around the village every day without anything, humming a little song from time to time, and living like a fairy.

As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to wind, and the son of a mouse will make a hole. I followed my grandfather for a long time, and I was not much different from his morality, he never let me go to farm work, let me stay with him all day long to tell me some yin and yang gossip, heaven and earth branches, yin and yang feng shui and so on. In his words, what kind of land do you plant, learn some skills and knowledge, and go south and north is what men should do.

At first, I didn't believe what my grandfather said, and no one had really seen it, right? However, one of my own experiences made me change my mind.

That was when I was about 10 years old, and because I didn't usually work, I liked to catch pheasants and hares and stuff like that.

Once, it seemed to be about ten o'clock in the evening, when I was passing through the village grove, I suddenly saw a wild hare, and with a "whoosh" rushed under my feet. The hare was not ordinarily large, it seemed to weigh six or seven pounds, and it was gray, and it scurried into the forest at once.

When I saw such a big hare, I was so excited that I hurried into the woods to catch him. When I get home, I can have at least two or three bowls of meat, and I can't help but be happy when I think of this.

When I rushed into the woods, I was worried that the hare would run away because of the fright, but I didn't think that as soon as I entered the woods and looked forward, the big gray hare was actually holding up on the ground with two feet, and was just a dozen paces away from me, and a pair of slippery eyes looked at me with interest.

I was even more excited when I saw that this rabbit was so sluggish, and with all my years of experience in catching wild animals, this rabbit could not escape my hands tonight. I picked up a stick of wood on the ground and approached it slowly, and when I came two meters away, I suddenly picked up the stick and pounced on it, and threw it at the hare.

I thought to myself, look where you are going, let me catch you this time! In my experience, it can't escape at such a close distance, but when I look at the place where the stick is hit, there is not even a shadow of a rabbit, damn it, the rabbit is inexplicably missing under my eyes!

At that time, I thought it was incredible, I saw that the rabbit was very stagnant, and it didn't know how to escape when people walked in front of it, but a stick was smashed down, how could it still run away?

I felt strange, but I still hurriedly looked around, and then I saw him appear more than a dozen steps in front of me, still holding his back paws on the ground, standing up, and looking at me with two small eyes!

Seeing it like this, I felt a fire in my heart, thinking that you were deliberately shouting at the master, so I immediately carried a firewood stick and threw it over. Every time, I felt that the firewood stick in my hand could hit it, but every time it would escape, and after escaping, it would not run far, and always appeared not far in front of me.

And just like that, back and forth, slowly I felt a little scared. Because at this time, I unknowingly ran into the depths of the forest.

Everyone in the countryside generally knows that you can't walk casually at night, you will be haunted by ghosts, and if you don't do well, you will "hit the wall", and you can't go out all night. At present, this forest is a place where few people come in the village, the forest is densely wooded, the branches and foliage are in the sky, the sun does not shine in during the day, and it is even darker at night. When I was a child, I heard the people in the village say that this place is often haunted, and some villagers have bumped into ghosts and hit the wall here, and after coming back, they became stupid and stupid, and they have never been normal again.

When I was afraid, the rabbit actually took two steps forward to me, and when I saw this, I shook my head, thinking that there could be no ghosts in this world, and that the adults were deliberately trying to scare children, and then I continued to pick up the sticks and chase after them.

Before I knew it, I had passed through the forest and came to a large flat land. I saw houses on the flat ground, adobe houses, black tiles, and overgrown weeds in front of the houses, and the weeds were as tall as a man. At first glance, it is clear that this place is a long-abandoned village.

But when I looked closely in the moonlight, I found that white shadows were shining in the weeds of the village, and the sound of people talking could be heard from time to time.

Seeing such a scene, I couldn't help but be stunned, how could there be anyone?

Because I've lived in Chenjia Town for five or six years, I've never heard of such a village at this end of the forest? If you want to know what villages are around, I can report my name, not only that, but I have also been to the surrounding villages, because my grandfather often takes me to the surrounding villages to see feng shui.

I was wondering in my heart, but the hare in front of my feet suddenly rushed straight into the village. Seeing this, I chased after it......

Walking through the overgrown meadows into this strange little village, I found that the houses here are also very strange, because they are all dilapidated, not only dilapidated, but also full of cobwebs on the doors and windows of the houses, which at first glance look like abandoned old houses that have long been uninhabited.

What's more, some of the houses have collapsed, and the broken earthen walls are full of ditches washed out by the rain.

Rao is like this, these dilapidated and abandoned houses are actually hung with white lanterns in front of the doors, and a few dead wind lamps are dim, but it also means that these houses are inhabited, not ownerless abandoned houses.

At that time, I was probably too young to be afraid, but I continued to walk into the village in a daze, because the hare had run in

Passing through several dilapidated houses, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums in front of me, and if you listen carefully, there is even the sound of erhu and suona music!

Curious, I followed the sound of gongs and drums to find it, and then there was a big flat in front of me, there were no weeds, and a stage was set up on a flat in Nuoda, and several people on the stage were babbling and singing in costumes!

The stage is full of music, and the people under the stage are surging.

In those days, not to mention TV, there was not even electricity, and when there was a big drama to watch, people from all over the country would rush to join in the fun.

At that time, when I saw that there was a play to watch, I was not excited to go over.

There are a lot of people watching the play in the audience, there are men and women, old and young, and the dress is also strange, some are ancient, and some are at that time, and I don't know anyone from left to right.

Just when I was looking at it with great interest, a person suddenly ran out and grabbed me, saying, Isn't this the grandson picked up by the old Chen family?

I looked back and saw an old man in his sixties looking at me with a strange face.

I also immediately recognized that person was here, wasn't this person Grandpa Yang from our village?

As soon as I recognized him, I was very frightened, because Grandpa Yang died of illness a few years ago, and his grave was still the hole that Grandpa helped to point. It's been dead for more than a year, how can it still come back to life?

I asked him right away, I said Grandpa Yang, aren't you dead, why are you still going to watch the big show?

Grandpa Yang didn't answer me, but kicked me in the ass and told me to hurry up!

I asked him why he wanted me to go, I wanted to go back after watching the big play. Grandpa Yang looked around, and then leaned in his ear and said to me, Grandma Chang has a big birthday tonight, and the big drama invited is sung to people like them, I can't watch it. In a word, I want to go home immediately.

At this moment, an old lady with white hair, skinny and wrinkled, came over and frightened me by bringing her face in front of me.

The old lady smiled and said, "Yo, there's a guest here, it's really rare, stay and watch the play tonight, don't go back!"

At this time, Grandpa Yang begged her to let me go back, and said that I was his grandson.

The old lady sighed when she heard this, so she touched my head and said that she liked me as a child, and she could call her name if she had something in the future, and she claimed that she was Mrs. Chang.

I didn't know anything in a daze, but after Grandma Chang left, Grandpa Yang pulled me out, started a fire and told me to go, telling me not to look back, and to keep going forward to get home.

When I left, he asked me to tell my grandfather, saying that he was not living well and had no money to spend, and asked my grandfather to send him some money.

In this way, I was scolded and walked back, but I couldn't help but look back when I heard the sound of babbling and singing behind me, but it was okay not to look at it, and it scared my soul to the point of flying......
