Chapter 40: Interlude
Jiang Jiezheng opened the door immediately, he was stunned at first, and then relieved, I saw that he was fine, and I was relieved.
"Why have you been here for so long, Junko...... Is Junko okay? ”
Junko walked out from behind me and pretended to be calm and said, "I'm fine, but I ran into a ghost hitting the wall, and I was delayed for some time." ”
"Ghost hit the wall, obediently, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay."
I anxiously asked about the movement of the ghost of Company Commander Ma, and Junko entered the door.
The whole room smelled of smoke, it seemed that Jiang Jie was staying up all night waiting for us, he was able to stand it at his age, and while he was talking, there was a "gurgling" sound next door, which sounded like someone was grinding his teeth.
"It's this voice again, and it's been arguing all night. After you left, I didn't dare to go alone, I wanted to wait for you a little longer, and I didn't come back for a long time, hey, my courage is getting smaller and smaller, if back then, my enemy's tanks and artillery were not afraid of a point, now ......"
Seeing that Jiang Jiezheng was talking farther and farther, I quickly stopped and said, "Have you been there?" ”
"Oh, I was just eavesdropping outside the door, but every time I tried to get closer to the sound it stopped, as if I knew I was eavesdropping, and I stayed in the house the whole time, and the sound came and went......"
Before Jiang Jiezheng finished speaking, the strange voice was much louder than just now, and the tone became harsh. Junko was an impatient child, and gave me a look, wanting me to go with him to take a look, and my curiosity rose, and I nodded in agreement.
Standing in front of the door of the next house, we were all scared, afraid that we should not see it.
Junko softly pushed the door, and the sound stopped abruptly, because there was no light, and it was not clear, but you could feel the strange atmosphere in the room, as if entering a steam-filled public bath, and bursts of heat were blowing in your face.
Junko snorted twice and whispered to me, "This smell, you smell, it still has a fragrance!" ”
I took a closer look, and sure enough, smelling it was like entering a temple, where incense is burned to summon spirits, i.e., to receive worship, or to worship Buddha statues and worship gods. Basically, they are either gods or ghosts, and in this room, they are definitely not good.
I was a little stunned, and followed Junzi to enter the door, and Jiang Jiezheng was the last.
Junko took a step up and slowly fell, and we followed his steps forward.
Before we could take the second step, we only heard a "tick". I listened and guessed it was one of the seven copper coins on the ground. But I put it according to a certain rule, and Runko's position is unlikely to be touched, so there is only one possibility, the copper coin has been moved, or someone has accidentally kicked it after entering the house. But if Jiang Jiezheng didn't come in, and Junzi and I had just arrived, the only possibility was the ghost of Company Commander Ma.
But after I thought about it, I felt incredible, this copper coin is a pure yang thing, and the ghost is a pure yin body, it is too late to hide, there is no reason to touch it, and I can't think of an ugly person for a while.
The sound was crisp and harsh, and the three of us were stunned at the same time, not daring to act rashly, and waited for at least two minutes, and seeing that there was no other movement, we took another step.
The aroma in the room was getting stronger and stronger, and I couldn't breathe. Jiang Jiezheng was old and began to cough, and then Runzi and I also coughed one after another, seeing that there was no accident, and the courage was not small, the three of them scattered and no longer nested together. The house was not big, and I couldn't walk a few steps to get to the end, but it was too hazy, and I was about to open the window to let in the light, when I suddenly realized that the bamboo pole I had erected was missing, and the reason why I found this was because I did open the window at that time, and it was obvious that my bamboo pole had also been moved. I understand very well that this bamboo pole is not a pure yang thing, but an ordinary bamboo pole, ordinary can no longer be ordinary, and the custom says that letting the dead return to the soul and ascend to heaven is just a process, can it really ascend to heaven, at least I don't believe it. To sum up, I have come to the conclusion that the ghost who came into this room was definitely not the ghost of the horse company commander, but a big living person. He did something shady, and I don't have proof of who it is. I didn't open the window, but turned my eyes to Chiang Kai-cheng, he was the only one left after we left, if he lied, he could really confuse the past, but why. I began to get confused, and for a moment I was stunned, the window on the kang was pushed open heavily, and when we reacted, a ray of aqua blue moonlight flashed in front of our eyes. "Cats?" Junko spoke first. "I didn't see it clearly, it looked like a person." I opened the window again and peeked out, and on the opposite side was the wall of another house, about 30 centimeters away from Chiang Kai-zheng's house, and the eaves were even closer to each other. If anyone could disappear under our noses, he would be absolutely unusually fast, and he would be petite enough to fly through walls. I confirmed Jiang Jiezheng's location for the first time, fortunately he is still there, it seems that my concerns are superfluous, the person who came is not him, let alone the commander of the company, who will it be. My guess went back to the starting point, and sneaked into the mourning hall in the middle of the night, could it be a thief? As the saying goes, "thieves don't go empty", so what to steal? This window is located on the kang, it is an oil-paper wooden lattice window, it seems to have been closed for a long time, and then I heard Jiang Jiezheng say that because it is facing north, and there is no sunlight during the day, it is generally not opened. In order to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants from entering the house, he even used yellow mud to stuff the joints, and over time, they were solidified. Anyway, I don't usually use it, and I haven't replaced it with glass, so this layer of window paper has been retained. I didn't expect it to become a channel for rats now. Runzi didn't want to be fooled like this, jumped on the kang and chased after him, like a cheetah chasing prey, I thought he could gain something, at least he could see the person's face clearly, but we all overestimated Runzi's ability, he was strong, but not athletic. In the end, he was squeezed between two walls, and almost demolished the entire window to save him. He refused to give up, and wanted to go out to chase him, but he was stopped by us. After a period of busy work, we were physically and mentally exhausted, and we didn't dare to stay in this room for a while when we thought of what we had just done, so we retreated one after another. None of us slept well that night, and I still had palpitations at the thought of the strange thing just now, but no one said anything, and it was not until the first rays of the morning sun shone down on the earth that the three of us fell asleep after yawning, and waited until the sun was rising and the belly was beating before getting up and washing. There was nothing terrible in the night's episode, and when we examined it, there was nothing to lose, and we couldn't figure out what the thief's purpose was. But we can be sure of one thing, since the thief dared to enter through the main gate in a bright light, and was able to escape through the window in a short time, he was very familiar with the structure of Chiang Kai-cheng's house, and he knew our current situation well.
