Chapter 0002: Ghost Stumbling
"Yishou, why don't you close for sleep so late, didn't I tell you that I'll come back later," Grandpa limped in, glanced at me dimly, and drank obviously a little too much.
I stuck out my tongue, saying that who doesn't want to close the door and go to bed early, if you want to blame the dead old man who came during the day. Thinking of this, I told my grandfather about the day, and by the way, I also mentioned the bronze fragment, and after I finished speaking, I also stuffed the note to him, which obviously meant that I didn't lie to you.
I originally thought that my grandfather would say that he was just a bad old man, who the fuck would start work for him at night, ignore him, go to bed first and prick him tomorrow. But surprisingly, the whole person of the grandfather was stunned in place, pinching the paper in his hand and being in a daze for a long time.
"Hiss," after a long time, Grandpa took a hard sip of the big cigarette pouch in his hand and smashed his mouth, "It seems that it should come or can't be avoided," muttered, and Grandpa paced to a corner of the shop, where there was a pair of paper samples of a boy and a girl, which looked extremely strange in the dim light.
Just as I was wondering, my grandfather suddenly pointed to the boy and girl and said that I should deliver the goods to the crazy old man, and his tone was very resolute, and he would not allow me not to go. As soon as I heard it, of course I didn't do it, not to mention whether I could touch anything that wasn't clean at night, and even if I couldn't, facing this pair of lively boys and girls would scare me enough.
I waved my hand again and again, in short, I found all kinds of reasons that shouldn't be reasons to push and drag, but the final outcome was always unavoidable, "It seems that your kid has itchy skin, right?" Thou hast led the way in the underworld, and which of the unsightly wicked men and women dares to trouble you? ”
Looking at my grandfather's rough expression, I was powerless to compromise, I used to ask my grandfather, why do you have to do it every time I say "no", am I not your own grandson? At first, he didn't answer me directly, but later under my repeated questioning, my grandfather's answer suddenly made me feel the urge to run away from home.
I carried a wind lantern, picked up the boy and woman in the corner and said hello to my grandfather, and then went straight to Shilipo outside the village. In my thinking, the later the night is, the more evil things come out for a walk, so I don't dare to stop more along the way, and try to rush back to the shop before 10 o'clock.
Out of our village, not far away is the mass grave, and it just so happens that I have to pass through this mass grave to get to the ten mile slope. I had no choice but to walk inward, and in order to relieve the fear and courage in my heart, I hummed a little song from Yamariro as I walked, pretending to be calm.
Since it is autumn and it is very dry, people in the countryside generally do not go out for a walk at night, and go to bed early. So I secretly decided in my heart that as soon as I met a living person, I would run back screaming and screaming.
As I walked, something suddenly hit me on my feet, and my body fell like a dog eating, and the boys and girls in my hands also rolled off their hands and rolled aside. Since I grew up with my grandfather since I was a child, although I haven't seen much, what I have heard can definitely be regarded as a thousand and one nights.
I immediately thought of the phrase ghost feet, and I screamed in fright, and my feet kicked hard, trying to get rid of the ghost hand on my feet. It wasn't until there was nothing else on my feet and there was a dead silence around me that I peeked through the cracks in my eyes covering.
With the help of the dim light that fell to the side, I saw clearly that it was a branch, "Heh, phew," I spat and foamed, secretly scolding myself for being too timid, I am also the grandson of Baidu people, and the Five Elements Bagua technique has some skin, thinking of this, I can't help but sprinkle my anger on the rattan.
I pulled up the rattan on the ground, trying to uproot it, as soon as I pulled it out, I heard a cry of pain from the grass on the side, I secretly said that it was not good, it must have alarmed the lord of the fallen here, so frightened that I let go and almost didn't fall again.
I tried hard not to look back, after all, some things are still not good, just about to step out of this hellish place, there is a wicked extra rattan on my right foot, and it is already difficult to walk again.
I fell to the ground with an unsteady center of gravity, and my mind was in a mess, and the most I was thinking about was not how to get out. It was the abominable hook-backed old man, and if it weren't for him, I would have taken a hot bath and lay down in bed.
At this point, the rattan began to shrink, and I pulled one of my legs towards a small dirt bag in the grass. And sanity, I clearly saw that next to the small earthen bag stood a remnant monument that had long been destroyed by wind and rain, and there was no font for a long time.
"," I scolded angrily, twisting my body desperately to get rid of the pull of what the hell it was, I didn't want to be a ghost who borrowed the corpse to resurrect the soul.
Seeing that my body was being pulled little by little, I was in a hurry and grabbed my hands wildly, just pulling the boy and girl who had fallen off before in my hand. At this time, I didn't care a lot, I only knew that my grandfather's paper-binding person could drive away evil spirits and avoid ghosts, and the villagers were well-known in the township.
I threw the boy and girl in my hand and smashed it against the nameless stele, and it was better to be a dead horse doctor than to wait for death.
As soon as the boy and girl touched and fell on the unknown tombstone, a burst of lightning flashed and burned, and then there was a terrible howl in the stele, and the cautious people listened.
Since the tomb has been left untended for many years, wild grass has long been lush and climbing the tomb, and a fire is also indispensable. I didn't dare to stay, and I didn't care about how this fire would develop next, so I had to rush to tear off the dead vines on my feet and run away.
"Whew," I ran out of the two miles, and finally sat down on a big rock tired and gasped, and looked at the distant fire in front of me, obviously still burning, as for when it burned, it was none of my business.
After a while, when I had recovered a little, I began to look at my surroundings. It would have been difficult for me to discern where I was in the dark of night without the help of the lost lantern, but one thing I know for sure was that I had been too nervous to run in the wrong direction, and now I was getting farther and farther away from the village.
I stamped my feet in a hurry, and the constant howling of wolves in the wilderness made me even more panicked. Just when I didn't know what to do, I suddenly had an inexplicable knock on the top of my head.
Sometimes people become calm when they are frightened to the limit, and this is the case with me.
I didn't scream like crazy, but stood in place and didn't dare to move, I remember I heard my grandfather say before, ghosts are not as terrible as people imagine, they also go their separate ways, unless they meet some ghosts who are full of resentment in life and can't get superborn when they die.
Thinking of this, I also became bolder, and said that my luck should not be so bad, and slowly turned around, I wanted to see what the ghost behind me looked like? In my early years, I heard a lot from my grandfather, but I never had the opportunity to see it...
"Why are you stunned? What about the boy and the girl I gave you? ”
I still don't see what the ghost looks like? There was another thump on the top of my head, and then I saw my grandfather's old face, who was looking at me inexplicably.
"Oh grandpa, this person is scary and will scare people to death," I said with a trembling cry, full of grievances. When he thought of the pair of boys and girls, he couldn't help but bow his head and couldn't speak.
Seeing that I didn't speak like this, Grandpa seemed to understand something, but he snorted lowly, and then beckoned me to go on the road, "Take the flashlight and open the way." ”
I took the old-fashioned flashlight from my grandfather's hand, and was about to turn around and walk in the direction I came, but before I could step on my head, I tapped again, "Who told you to go back, go to the ten-mile slope ahead." ”
"Huh?" I looked at my grandfather in surprise, I don't know why, is there something wrong, everything has already burned, why do you have to go to Shilipo? What will be the delivery when the time comes?
"If you are told to go, where are there so many questions," Grandpa glanced at me angrily, and there was a sense of hatred for iron and steel, but unfortunately I was a little scared and stupid at this time, and I didn't notice it at all.
Grandpa commanded, and my grandson had to do so, and I turned again and walked in the direction he was pointing in front of me. It wasn't until this time that I realized that I had just run wildly in the direction of Shilipo.
