Chapter 92: Three Ghost Stories (1)
Ding Lingxiu fell to the ground, looking at the old man blankly, and finally understood why the strong man who was five big and three thick was beaten so badly, it turned out that this old man really had two brushes.
The old man put Ding Lingxiu to the ground, and didn't seem to spend any strength, so he walked leisurely towards Ding Lingxiu who fell to the ground, and said with a smile:
"Young man, look at you, if you have something to say, why do you have to do it?"
Ding Lingxiu was not only furious at this time, but also extremely surprised in his heart, he would never have thought that the old man in front of him would be able to easily avoid his fist, and then put himself to the ground with his backhand.
But this time, it made Ding Lingxiu sober up a lot, after all, the other party is an old man, no matter how he says it, he can be regarded as an elder, no matter how excessive the other party is, he should never fight against an old man.
Thinking of this, Ding Lingxiu slowly stood up, forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and said solemnly to the old man:
"Master, I'm sorry, but what you just said really made me unable to control myself at all, I hope you don't continue to make such jokes!"
The old man's face did not change, and he looked at Ding Lingxiu with a smile.
"Boy, maybe you still think I'm joking with you, or maybe the old man's name is the same as the name of a very important person in your life, but the old man really never lies, you know this, and it won't be long before you will be grateful for what I did before."
Appreciate what you've done? Thank you uncle! Ding Lingxiu was so angry that his teeth gurgled, but he always felt that this old man's appearance really didn't seem to be joking with himself, and he always felt that this thing seemed a little strange.
"Okay, then you say, what do you want?" Ding Lingxiu was impatient.
"Hehe, of course I'm looking for you to help me catch ghosts!" The old man looked at Ding Lingxiu with a smile and continued, "It's just right, now that you have the conditions to catch ghosts, come with me!" ”
What it takes to hunt ghosts? Ding Lingxiu was even more confused when he heard this, and looked at this strange fortune-telling old man in surprise, but the anger in his heart did not diminish at all.
Ding Lingxiu followed the old man back to his home, and the two of them changed into a sewer worker's clothes, which looked dirty, and some sewer tools were on their backs.
"Uncle, why do you wear these clothes and take these tools?"
"To keep the ghost from suspecting!"
"Doubtful?" Ding Lingxiu was even more confused, with his knowledge of ghosts, he had never heard of a ghost who had a soft spot for workers in the sewers.
"That's right! Don't ask, just go! The old man smiled mysteriously, and the two walked out of the house.
The old man and Ding Lingxiu carried tools until they came to the manhole cover in an alley, and the old man pried open the manhole cover and motioned for Ding Lingxiu to drill down with him.
The two of them went down the sewer, and there was an extremely strong rancid smell coming from it, and several streams of yellow unknown thick slurry fell from above Ding Lingxiu, making him feel a chill down his spine. As soon as the two of them entered, several large rats fled in all directions, and there was a crackling sound of claws among the flowing wastewater. There are maggots and waste products everywhere, and not only does it smell unbearable, but the temperature inside is also very cold.
Ding Lingxiu carefully took out the Demon Seeking Compass, worried that the Demon Seeking Compass would be contaminated with the disgusting slime flowing here. However, there was no reaction on the demon compass, and the pointer was also rotating at random at random, although this situation showed that there were still zài demons nearby, but it could not provide accurate directions and distances.
"Uncle, since this ghost you want to catch is in this kind of place, I'm afraid it won't affect you, are you going to catch this ghost not to eliminate harm for the people, but to have your own private purpose?" Although Ding Lingxiu knew that he would not answer him truthfully if he asked the old man like this, he still wanted to see how he would react.
The old man looked at Ding Lingxiu, still with that unpredictable smile, the old man looked at the demon compass in Ding Lingxiu's hand, and said softly:
"You put this thing away, this thing will scare it away, then our clothes will be in vain, you can continue to walk with me for a while, you make a small noise, we have to pretend to be here to work!" Remember, you're following me, and we're going to finish three ghost stories before we get to the next well exit! Get started now! ”
Ghost storytelling? What is this for? Ding Lingxiu didn't react at first, but the old man suddenly mentioned telling ghost stories, and Ding Lingxiu couldn't help but pause, and finally understood why this fortune teller old man did this, why he led him here, and why he deliberately provoked himself!
Ding Lingxiu nodded and said:
"Understood, let's move forward, since we talk about ghost stories, I think I'd better tell a story that I personally experienced, so that it doesn't take too long to think."
"No, I'll start first." The old man didn't give Ding Lingxiu a chance, so Ding Lingxiu had to nod and say:
"Okay, listen up."
The old man cleared his throat and began to tell the first ghost story:
This story happened in the Northeast a long time ago, when the vast number of peasants did not have land to plant, and if they wanted to eat, they had to go to the landlord's house to work as a long-term worker, also called carrying work. You know, it's very hard, not to mention anything else, because there is no Sunday, you have to work every day. At the end of the year, the landlord will invite the long-term workers to have a good meal, and then each person will share the wages or grain of the previous year, so that the long-term workers can go home for the New Year, and then come back to work when the spring begins.
It is said that there are so many long workers, together in the other landlord's house dozens of miles away from home to work, the harvest at the end of the year is good, the landlord invited everyone to eat dumplings in the evening, but also drank some wine, each person got the wages (at that time, people are real, not like now often do not give wages to migrant workers) several people took the money are very happy, originally tomorrow morning to leave, but everyone is excited, a year has not seen the wife, and drank some wine, impulsively, decided to go back late, dozens of miles, walk in the middle of the night to arrive, the landlord knew, persuaded them, said that the road is not very peaceful, Because it was a war year, there were dead people everywhere, and the landlords tried hard to persuade them, but the young people did not listen, so they insisted on setting out.
However, not long after these young men walked on the road, it began to snow heavily, and several people braved the snow with the strength of wine. But at that time, the weather was really cold and unambiguous, and as the night deepened, it was even colder, but fortunately, these people were young and could barely resist it.
But when I was about to get home, the night was already very deep, and the bodies of several people were also at the limit, and the clothes at that time were also very simple, in fact, they were wearing hand-sewn cotton jackets, unlike leather jackets or down jackets now, so it didn't take long to walk in the snow and sweat all over the body, and then freeze hard, like iron.
When everyone was cold and sleepy, everyone suddenly found that there was a fire at the foot of the mountain in front of them, and when they walked in, a few people were there to bake the fire, and at this moment, several people were instantly excited, and their hearts said that they could finally warm up, so they ran desperately towards the firelight, just like seeing an oasis in the desert.
A few people walked over and talked to these people who were baking the fire, but those people didn't seem to like to talk much, they all had straight faces, just lowered their heads and were roasting the fire, and these long-term workers didn't care so much, so they sat down around the fire.
As soon as he sat down, he saw that the faces of the people who were roasting the fire were not right, and then he found that the fire was not hot at all, and the more he roasted, the colder it became. Maybe it was because he was clear-minded, so he stood up, grabbed a few companions, and said that we should hurry to get home. But a few companions were very stubborn, no one listened to the advice, they had to bake again, this slightly older singing skill had no way, knowing that it would be dangerous to go down, so they left the fire alone,
, planning to go home and find someone.
When he arrived at home, it was already dawn, and he hurriedly asked the villagers to come back, but when he arrived at the place, several long-term workers had frozen to death. And there is no fire around here, just a few white bones scattered all over it.
Later, an old man in the village said that those people must have frozen to death, lighting ghost fires in the middle of the night, waiting to suck the heat from the living.
Ding Lingxiu sighed after listening to this story, although this story is not terrible at all, at most it is a strange thing, but Ding Lingxiu obviously felt that when the old man told this story, he seemed to show very special emotions and couldn't say what it was, but it made people feel very strange.
"It's an interesting story, so I'll tell you one, but this is something I've experienced firsthand."
"Well, let's talk about it!"
So, Ding Lingxiu began to tell his story:
The story happened three years ago, when Ding Lingxiu was still in junior high school, and in Ding Lingxiu's middle school, the junior high school students were alone in an old teaching building, which was built in the 80s.
Perhaps the floor was lower than it is now when it was repaired, so that the current pavement is on the second floor of the old teaching building, and there is a small staircase from the side of the road to the first floor of the old teaching building; From that staircase down is a path behind the teaching building, basically no one goes, all barren grass, so this path is only a street lamp installed at the place where the stairs are down, dim and ghostly......
In the winter of Ding Lingxiu's third year of junior high school, they got up early every day and dawned late. One morning, Ding Lingxiu walked to the classroom for morning self-study as usual, and when he walked to about 20 meters in front of the teaching building, he heard someone shouting, and the scream was particularly terrible......
Ding Lingxiu didn't pay attention at first, and continued to walk forward, however, the cry became more and more obvious and closer...... It's like you're about to come by.
So Ding Lingxiu followed curiously, walked to the edge of the teaching building, and saw a little girl on the ground floor of the teaching building, wearing a child's spring and autumn clothes, and the kind with small patterns, lying on the ground, I was equivalent to looking down from the height of the first and a half floors, there was also a street lamp next to her, she had short hair that did not cover her neck, but the hair covered her face, and she couldn't see the skin at all. Ding Lingxiu watched there for about half a minute, and after making sure that the cry was made by her, he wanted to call her, but for a moment he was stuck in his throat and didn't dare to shout, Ding Lingxiu walked down a few steps from the stairs next to her, and found that she was making a cry that I could hear from dozens of meters away, but her body didn't move at all, not even the kind of floating that she breathed ......
Ding Lingxiu had not inherited his father's business at that time, and although he knew something about demons and monsters, he didn't have any measures to deal with them, and he couldn't distinguish some high-level demons. Ding Lingxiu then looked at the path full of weeds next to him and didn't dare to go any further, let alone act rashly. But the cry was still very clear, I looked back, and two girls walked over with breakfast talking and laughing, Ding Lingxiu's heart was tense at that time, and he didn't feel right. After all, it is impossible for these two people not to react at all when they hear such a loud scream.
Ding Lingxiu ran up the road from the stairs, and when he looked down, there was only a black fog...... The little yellow light of the street lamp couldn't illuminate that area at all, Ding Lingxiu was indeed a little frightened at this time, and immediately turned around and left.
After the evening self-study that night, Ding Lingxiu didn't know what was going on, so he was in a daze in the classroom until the end, until a classmate woke him up:
"Ding Lingxiu, if you can't leave, I'm going to turn off the lights!"
Ding Lingxiu reacted at this time, and replied dimly:
"Whew, I'll go too."
Ding Lingxiu left the classroom in a trance, and went back to the dormitory alone, from the first to the third year of junior high school, Ding Lingxiu has always lived in the lower left corner of the entire dormitory building, and has not changed the dormitory, but that night, Ding Lingxiu did not play with his mobile phone, did not do anything, was alone, did not chat with anyone, and walked to the innermost room in the upper right corner of the dormitory building, he didn't know why he did it, but he still walked there, it was a storage room, and after opening the door, he found that there were many tools in a mess……
At night, the exam roommates during the day are not very unsatisfactory. Not only Ding Lingxiu, but the entire dormitory was shrouded in silence, and only the sound of ticking water could be heard in the quiet room. Everyone knows very well how much money it costs to go to school now, the expectations of their parents, the expectation of being admitted to a good school, their own future, the eyes of others, the invisible comparison, this qiē, in the end, what left Ding Lingxiu and these students at that time was just ridiculous pressure in the eyes of others.
For some reason, Ding Lingxiu's mind kept haunting the figure of the girl he met during the day, and his mood became a little troubled, so he patted his head and got back on the bed, looked at the glass bottle in the corner, reached out and peeled off the cork and stuffed it in.
Suddenly, behind Ding Lingxiu came the voice of his roommate Ah Wei speaking:
"Hey, did you just hear laughter?"
"What laughter?" Another roommate, Ada, asked.
"It's like a child's laughter, giggling," Ah Wei replied.
Another roommate, Da Fei, was inexplicably depressed, and suddenly heard Ah Wei's surprise, so he turned around angrily and said to him, "Cut, and the child is laughing, it shouldn't be you. The kid who ejaculated came to you, right? ”
"Fuck off, if it's your kid too." Ah Wei gave Dafei a blank look.
However, Ding Lingxiu was the same as Ah Wei, he also really heard this laughter, however, this laughter was so poignant that it was a bit like crying.
Ah Wei sat on the edge of the bed with an innocent face, swinging his legs in a daze, looking absent-minded. However, Ding Lingxiu saw an illusion in him, like a person sitting on the wall of a tall building, with his head down and swinging his legs, so leisurely and lifeless.
Ding Lingxiu shook his head and felt so heavy, covered the quilt and went to sleep......
Unconsciously, it was dark, and when everyone was asleep, Ding Lingxiu suddenly felt a surge of urine, so Ding Lingxiu had no choice but to get out of bed, open the door by touching the dark, and gently take it with him, standing at the door of the toilet, there was nothing inside. Although the outside is hotter than the inside, the toilet has a feeling of pimple.
At this time, a dark shadow appeared in the toilet. Looking closely, it was still the little girl in the autumn clothes, Ding Lingxiu hurriedly chased after her, however, he still didn't see the little girl, as if she suddenly disappeared out of thin air, but the mournful screams did not stop at all.
Back in the dormitory, Ding Lingxiu didn't sleep well that night.
The next day was the weekend, the school gave two days off, Ding Lingxiu returned to the house, just when Ding Qinyu also came to play, so Ding Lingxiu and Ding Qinyu got up in the middle of the night and sneaked out to surf the Internet, the first floor of the house is a garage, a spiral staircase can go up to the second floor, when Ding Qinyu came downstairs to start the car, let me Ding Lingxiu go to see if the nanny who lived on the second floor woke up......
Ding Lingxiu got out of the car and went over, and when he walked to the stairs, he felt that there was a person on the stairs, at first Ding Lingxiu thought that he was playing with his mobile phone just now, but everyone knows that it seems to be flashed by a flash, and there will be a white shadow in his eyes, but the white shadow will move with your sight, Ding Lingxiu blinked at the time, and then looked left and right a few times, the white shadow was in place and did not move, Ding Lingxiu walked in and looked, it was still a little girl, still with short hair, and still couldn't see the face, Just squatting on the stairs, grabbing the iron railing erected above the handrail of the stairs with both hands, and sticking his head out between the two railings, Ding Lingxiu was completely frightened and didn't dare to go upstairs.
went to the car and told Ding Qinyu that they were not awake, Ding Qinyu asked Ding Lingxiu to go upstairs to confirm, Ding Lingxiu couldn't live or die, and I don't know why, Ding Qinyu didn't force Ding Lingxiu as usual, it seemed that he noticed something. Instead, he got out of the car and went upstairs, looked at the window, and then got out of the car and drove away, and after about five minutes, Ding Lingxiu asked Ding Qinyu if he saw anything, and Ding Qinyu swore that he didn't.
