Next Chapter

In 98, when the village was building a road, a landslide caused more than a dozen people to be buried, and the mother, who was seven months pregnant, was also buried under the rubble when she was delivering food to her father.

The government sent a huge rescue team, and even though all the collapsed mountains were removed, no bodies were found, and more than a dozen people disappeared mysteriously.

On the seventh day of the accident, the mother's body was dragged out of Shuanglong Pond by a big white snake, and several rescuers who witnessed this scene were frightened and stupid, and two rescuers broke their hands in a panic.

This thing is evil, it spread throughout the whole village in an instant, men, women and children all gathered on the edge of Shuanglong Pond, and they talked about their mother's affairs, no one could say clearly, the mother was originally buried under the mountain, and now how did she come out of Shuanglong Pond again.

The elders of the older generation agreed that the mother's body was "not clean", and she could not enter the village, let alone the ancestral grave, so she could find a place to bury it.

The grandparents were forced to have no choice but to ask the villagers to set up a mourning hall on the spot, and also bought a big red coffin, thinking about burying their mother on the hill by Shuanglong Pond the next day.

Unexpectedly, that night, there was a "dong dong" sound in the coffin.

The young men who helped the vigil were bold enough to open the coffin and find that their mother's stomach was moving, so frightened that they ran away crying and crying.

Grandpa is an old revolutionary, old to have a son, just a son of the father was buried under the mountain, now finally have a hope of inheriting the incense, naturally refuse to give up easily, gritted his teeth, and grandma took a knife, came to the coffin, grandpa is responsible for breaking the mother's belly, and grandma is guarding the side, in case there is any demon and monster in the stomach, it is good to chop it with a knife.

It wasn't until I cried out that my grandparents saw that I was no different from a normal baby except that my body was a little cold, that they breathed a sigh of relief and ran home in a panic and wrapped me in clothes.

But when I got home, no matter what my grandparents did, my body was always cold, so anxious that they sent me to the village health center overnight, the doctor measured me with a thermometer, dumbfounded, my body temperature was not within the thermometer range at all, and finally a simple test with an ordinary thermometer, my body temperature was lower than 30 degrees.

This is not in line with medical common sense, the doctor has done a lot of examinations, but can not find any problems, and finally observed in the health center for two or three days, to see that I am fine, my grandparents had no choice but to bring me back.

My grandparents were superstitious, and in order to be able to protect me, they secretly invited the old man Ge, a fortune teller in the village.

Old man Ge frowned after seeing my situation, saying that I was born in the lunar year, the lunar month, the lunar calendar, and the yin time, and I was born of a yin person, with all five yin, and was born with a lot of yin, and said that this is called "yin ghoul life", he has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he was born to recruit powerful ghosts, even if he survives now, he can't raise it, this is a dead knot, and he can't solve it.

What's more, Old Man Ge said that my soul was chaotic, and it seemed that there were more things than ordinary people, but he couldn't see what was the extra now.

Old man Ge's words are not known to be listened to by the village, my mother's corpse dug out of a baby with no body temperature and a monster hidden in the body, this news instantly set off a storm in the village, the villagers all said that I am a ghost species, is the dissatisfaction of a dozen or so villagers who are missing, debt collection is coming, this kind of child can not be kept, otherwise it will bring disaster to the whole village, three days two villagers came to the door, forced grandpa to chop me with a knife.

In their opinion, I should have been buried in the mountains like the dozen or so people who disappeared, and I should not have survived at all.

Fortunately, grandpa is a tough person, and he also has some prestige in the village, and the villagers are also afraid when he is horizontal, so the villagers only move their mouths and do not have a substantive attack.

However, after such a fuss, the grandparents also believed in Old Man Ge's words.

Since then, in order to protect me, they have searched for all kinds of home remedies and gods, sold everything they could sell, and the life of the family has been up and down.

But the strange thing is that since I was a child, not only have I not been sick, but I have grown tall and strong.

The grandparents and the villagers all felt that the home remedies they found had miraculous effects, and some villagers even had the courage to find them, but over the years, the home remedies that the grandpa had found were not hundreds, but there were dozens, and they couldn't figure out which one was effective.

Only I know that those home remedies are actually useless, and I can grow like this because of a little girl.

The little girl is very small, probably only about ten years old, and she wears a pure white dress all year round, with a white face and red lips, making her look like a porcelain doll.

I don't remember anything before I was three years old, but when I was about four or five years old, I had the impression that as long as my grandparents were not at home when they were working in the fields, little girls would come to see me, and every time they came, they would bring pheasants, hares and other things to my house, and they would go into the kitchen and cook me something delicious, and then smile sweetly, and after watching me finish eating, she would quietly leave.

As far as I can remember, I wasn't surprised or surprised when the little girl first appeared, that is, she might have been in my life when I was younger, but I can't say when.

But the strange thing is that the little girl never spoke to me, I don't know what her name is, where she came from, I didn't think to ask her about these things, and I didn't mention her to others, and we seemed to have formed a tacit understanding between us, and I secretly named her Bai Ling.

The children in the village did not want to play with me at the instigation of adults, and the school was forced by the pressure of parents to accept me, so she was my only friend in childhood, and the thing I looked forward to most every day was for her to come and see me.

Bai Ling also seemed to be looking forward to coming to me, often as soon as my grandparents left, she would show up immediately, and this life lasted until I was twelve.

That winter, Shuanglong Village rarely snowed goose feathers, and overnight, the whole village accumulated thick snow, and even Shuanglong Pond was frozen solidly.

Most of the wheat planted in the field was buried by snow, and the villagers were anxious, at that time, the crops in the field were the hope of surviving in the coming year, and if it went on like this, everyone would have to go hungry in the coming year, so the adults did not care about the cold weather, and went to the field to clear the snow and rescue the wheat.

On this day, Bai Ling came again, but this time she did not bring something like a pheasant or hare, but a big native chicken, her snow-white face was frozen red, and the original spotless white dress was stained with a little mud, and she walked a little swaying, looking like she was sick.

I hurriedly ran forward, and at a glance I saw that her hand holding the chicken was actually blue and purple from the cold, and in some places it was even cracked.

Seeing this, I hurriedly pulled her into the house, took out the alabaster at home and prepared to rub it for her, Bai Ling seemed to be frightened by my actions, she dodged a little, and her snow-white little face was even more red.

I remember the first time I spoke to her: "Don't be afraid, give you incense, your hands won't freeze after you do!" ”

When Bai Ling heard this, he looked at the alabaster in my hand with some curiosity, looked at me again, and then giggled, and a pair of small hands took the initiative to reach out in front of me.

Bai Ling's hands are very slippery and cold, my body temperature of less than thirty feels cold on it, and she seems to be afraid of itching, when she rubs the alabaster on her, she is laughing vigorously, and when I finish rubbing it, she raised her hands and smelled it curiously, she seems to like the faint fragrance very much, and I can't forget the intoxicated expression in my life.

After a while, she picked up the local chicken and was about to go down to the kitchen, I hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and said, "Your hands are frozen like this, you can't touch the cold water, you have been making food for me for so many years, and I will come today!" ”

I didn't care if she agreed or not, I grabbed the chicken in her hand and rushed into the kitchen, to be honest, this is the first time I went to the kitchen to cook, I don't know how to get it, I was busy tossing for more than two hours, and finally cooked the chicken.

I brought a large pot of steaming chicken to the table, "Hehe, the first time I went down to the kitchen, I don't know if it tastes good or not, try it!" "There's something warm in my heart.

Bai Ling also came back to his senses, and hurriedly placed a pair of dishes and chopsticks in front of me, signaling me to eat quickly.

I pushed the chopsticks back and said with a smile, "Every time you watch me eat, this time it's my turn......"

As soon as Bai Ling heard this, his body froze in place for a moment, and a trace of tears flashed in his big eyes that could speak.

When I saw this, I panicked a little and hurriedly said, "Eat it while it's hot, it's good for your body!" ”

When Bai Ling heard this, she was no longer ambiguous, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, sat on the chair, and ate, while I, sitting on the side, watched her giggle, just like when she used to cook for me.

Don't look at Bai Lingxiao, her appetite is very large, except for the chicken legs and chicken wings, which may be left for me, she didn't eat them, and the rest was wiped out by her after a while.

When Bai Ling was eating the chicken, her arms peeked out of her loose sleeves, and I saw that her arms were all frozen blue and red, and there were deep cracks in some places, which looked shocking.

"What's wrong with you?" I was about to cry urgently, and grabbed Bai Ling's arm.

Bai Ling withdrew her arms in some pain, and then bowed her head and curled up in the chair, a pair of arms hugged tightly in front of her chest, and the tears that had already flashed in her eyes dripped down with a "click".

I was in a hurry, so I hurriedly turned around and went into the back room, and took my little padded jacket and alabaster, but when I came out, Bai Ling was gone.

Bai Ling seemed to be in a hurry, the stool she was sitting on just now was knocked over to the ground, and the chicken bones were scattered everywhere, I didn't have the heart to clean them up, so I sat down a little lonely, picked up the remaining chicken wings in the basin with chopsticks, and bit it down hard.

"Ahh I almost threw it up, the chicken that originally looked good tasted no different from eating salt, it was salty and astringent, and I couldn't eat it at all, but Bai Ling ......

I cried, cried very sadly, endured nausea, chewed the salty and bitter chicken one bite at a time, and it took more than ten minutes to eat the meat in the basin.

When I was cleaning the ground, I suddenly found that there were two marble-sized crystals scattered on the ground, and I hurriedly picked them up, the two crystals were almost transparent, if it weren't for the flashing light, I might not have found it at all, and if I looked closely, there seemed to be something inside the crystal, like a cloud of mist, constantly rolling, it looked very magical, but after looking at it for a while, I didn't see a reason.

But I know in my heart what this is, the moment the tears in Bai Ling's eyes slipped down just now, I saw her tears turned into two beads like this, but just now I thought I was dazzled, but now it seems that what I see is true.

I found my little handkerchief, carefully wrapped the beads, and put them in the pocket of the innermost layer of clothes, and then continued to tidy up the house in a panic, and finally packed up the rope before my grandparents returned.

The heavy snow has not stopped, and my grandparents have been busy these days, sometimes even going to the wheat field in the middle of the night to take a look.

Grandparents are worried about the wheat in the field, I am also worried, after Bai Ling left that day, he never appeared again, I got the door to look at it several times a day, and even ignored the instructions of my grandparents, secretly ran out to find it a few times, but she was still nowhere to be seen.

At noon on the third day, grandpa came back from the wheat field early, and found an old shotgun that had been idle for a long time from the firewood room. So I asked Grandpa what he was doing with a gun?

Grandpa tinkered with a shotgun and said to me: "In the past few days, there have been people in the village who have lost their livestock, and many people have lost a lot of money. ”

As soon as I heard this, I was anxious, didn't Bai Ling come to see me with a local chicken last time? At that time, a chicken was a lot of property for a family, where did Bai Ling get a child? Could it be that it was Bai Ling who stole the chicken?

"Grandpa, which girl in our village always likes to wear white dresses?"

"Silly boy, have you read too many fairy tales? Our ravines and ravines are so dusty, who will wear white clothes, and ah, on such a cold day, you can't freeze to death if you wear a skirt? Grandpa said with a smile, not taking my words to heart, and continued to tinker with the shotgun in his hand.

Bai Ling is not from our village? I was stunned when I heard this, could it be that I was hallucinating? But when I touched the two beads in my pocket, they did exist, and at that time, I thought that the Bai Ling family should live in the mountain, after all, the back mountain is so big, and it is normal for the people in the village to not see it.

But if the villagers' livestock were really stolen by Bai Ling, then what would it be like? The people in the village won't let her go, no, I have to find a way to inform her.

So I took the cream and the little padded jacket and snuck out while my grandfather was in the house.

Shuanglong Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, except for the mountains in the west that are slightly gentle, the other three sides of the mountains are all cliffs, and people can't go up at all, so the back mountain we are talking about is the mountain range in the west of the village, but the forest here is very deep, and no one in the village knows where the deep mountains are connected.

I trotted all the way into the mountain, because of the snow, the mountain road was slippery, I fell while walking, and my arms and knees hurt, but when I thought that the villagers might hurt Bai Ling, I gritted my teeth, endured the pain, and continued to search in the mountains.

I don't know how long I walked, but I knew that I was hurt all over my body, and my hands and feet were numb from the cold, but I still didn't find any trace of Bai Ling.

The sky was gradually darkening, and I felt that all the strength of my body had been used up, and I shouted Bai Ling's name while walking, and after a while, I came to a large locust forest.

I was immediately frightened by a spirit, because I heard my grandparents talk about this place before, at that time, the level of medical and health was poor, and the village gave birth to children to the midwives in the village, resulting in the survival rate of the children may not be less than seventy percent, but where the child died, they would choose to bury it in this locust forest in the back mountain, until now, I don't know how many children have been buried here, and the people in the village have called this place the dead baby slope.

The legend of this dead baby slope, there are countless of them, adults are worried that children will encounter long insects and beasts and the like when they go up the mountain without permission, they will use this dead baby slope to scare children, here can be said to be the nightmare of most children in childhood, I am no exception, often mention this dead baby slope is directly scared to cry.

Today, because I was worried about Bai Ling, I got into the back mountain without thinking about it, and I didn't know where the dead baby Zipo was, so I bumped into it by mistake.

I resisted the fear in my heart, turned around and ran back, thinking that I wanted to get out of here sooner.

I used my strength to run back as fast as I thought I could, and I didn't care where I had run, as long as I could get out of this damn child's slope, it would be better than anything else.

I don't know how far I ran, I ran and ran with some cramps in my right foot, so I stopped, and hurriedly bent down to break my cramped foot, but as soon as I looked down, I saw that my feet were on tiptoe on the ground, worried about the ground, this posture has been running for so long, it's no wonder that there are no cramps.

I stepped down hard, but strangely, the heel was only a punch away from the ground, and there was nothing under the heel, but I couldn't step on the ground, and I was so anxious that I jumped and jumped on the spot, but to no avail.

I was so anxious that I was in the same place, on the one hand, I was afraid, and on the other hand, my right foot was cramping so badly, and moving my legs and feet could relieve the pain.

But when I turned around, bursts of cold sweat immediately soaked my whole body, tears flowed down, a locust forest stood less than five meters in front of me, and on the edge of the woods, there was a series of footprints, I ran for so long, I have been spinning in place.

At this time, I suddenly remembered that my grandfather had said that people should be careful when walking from places where yin qi is heavy, and their steps should be small and fast, otherwise their feet will be too far from the ground and they will not be able to catch the earth's qi, and they will be padded by dirty things, and they will be entangled, which is very troublesome.

Originally, I listened to this as a ghost story, but I didn't expect to actually come across it, and I was clearly put on the ground by something.

Thinking of this, I don't know where the courage came from, hurriedly got up, according to the method of the gods, small steps to the outside of the locust forest, about two or three minutes later, I suddenly felt a burst of relaxation up and down my body, the heel that has been cushioned snorted, stepped on the snow, looked back, I have walked to a place several hundred meters away from the locust forest, successfully escaped.

I was about to run in the direction of the village, but the moment I turned around, I seemed to see a figure in the locust forest, with a white dress and red lips, looking like a porcelain doll......
