Chapter 3: A Midnight Knock at the Door

The more I walked, the more tired I felt, my waist was bent, especially the two thighs were filled with lead, it was difficult to move a step, and my back was wet with sweat.

"Young people should exercise more, look at you like this, lack of exercise! Hurry up, or it will be even more difficult to descend when it gets completely dark. ”

Lai Pizhou kept shaking his head and sighing, saying that when they were young, they could even climb a few mountains and go down to the river to fish, chasing sparrows everywhere, which is like our young people, who have no strength in their bodies.

I wanted to retort a few words stiffly, but my body was so sore that I didn't have that confidence.

My parents are both teachers, and they usually only focus on my studies, and they don't have mandatory requirements for sports.

Plus I'm lazy by nature and like to stay at home, when it comes to playing games, I can talk to you for a few days and nights, and as for sports, sleep counts? I quickly digressed and asked him how he could see that there was a skeleton buried under the coffin.

You must know that the woman's bones are buried two meters deep under the soil, and they can be seen through without the help of other tools, which is indeed very mysterious.

Lai Pizhou laughed proudly twice, pointed to his nose and said, smelling it.

Nima, liar!

"You don't believe me?" As soon as he saw my expression, Lai Pizhou suddenly became anxious, "If I lie to you, I won't die well." ”

"Really?" I started to be a little skeptical, "How?" ”

"Secret!" Lai Pi Zhou laughed twice, raised his eyebrows, and hummed a little song.

That expression is like saying again, I'm itchy and under-pumping, it's better for two people to hit me together!

To be honest, if I wasn't tired, I would have wanted to punch him twice in the face of the flattened face.

"Don't say it, it's rare." I muttered sourly.

Seeing me like this, Lai Pizhou immediately laughed heartlessly, and then patted me on the arm, saying that although he could smell it, he was not sure, and he did not understand until he saw the candle.

"Candles?"

He nodded, and said that as soon as he went to the tomb, he smelled a different smell of corpses, not the smell of fresh corpses, but the smell of being dead for a long time and naturally emanating from the bones.

However, he was not sure at the time, and when he saw the red liquid coming out of the two white candles planted in front of the tombstone, he guessed that there might be something wrong with the tomb.

A white candle that exudes red liquid? How to say it is getting more and more mysterious.

"What does it mean that a white candle can still shed red liquid?" I asked.

"It's Old Man Huang who is crying!" Raipi Zhou sighed heavily.

As soon as I heard what he said, I couldn't help but recall the old man in a shroud squatting in front of the grave to smoke incense, feeling the cold around me, and I couldn't help but get closer to Lai Pizhou.

"Is there really such a thing in this world?" I wanted to talk about ghosts, but when the words came to my lips, I swallowed them in my stomach.

"If there are no evil thoughts in the heart, there are naturally no ghosts everywhere, if there are ghosts in the heart, there are dead souls everywhere!" Lai Pizhou said with a solemn expression, and then he quickly diverted the topic, obviously not wanting to mention it.

"By the way, I asked you to bury the woman's bones just now, and I didn't ask for details, you didn't make any mistakes, right?"

I shook my head and said don't underestimate people, can I do this little thing? After that, I told him what had happened.

"You made an offering to her? And lit two red candles? Lai Pizhou's eyes widened instantly, and with a ghostly expression, the muscles in my face trembled vigorously.

I was taken aback by his expression, and thought I had something behind me, and my legs were a little weak.

"What...... What's wrong? "I changed my position uneasily, and I felt heavier on my back, and I don't know if it was a psychological effect.

Lai Pizhou was silent, his face was solemn and terrifying.

He wandered around with his hands behind his back, and it was a long time before he asked me what my birthday was.

I said it was the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

"On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival?" Lai Pizhou pinched his fingers and muttered to himself, and then shook his head again and again and said no, no.

"What's wrong?" I looked confused.

"Do you remember when you were born? It's better to be precise. Lai Pizhou interrupted me, looking a little anxious, and his head was sweating.

Without thinking, I blurted out that it was 9:30 p.m.

"Are you sure?" Lai Pizhou's face changed greatly, and his fingers pinching the fingers couldn't help but tremble.

I nodded heavily, saying I couldn't be wrong.

The reason why I remember it so clearly is because when I was a child, I wore a bronze pig tag around my neck, which engraved my birth date, month and time, which was a 100-day gift from my grandfather, and I wore it until I was in the first grade of elementary school.

"No wonder, no wonder! On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the qi of yin and yang competes, the yang flourishes and the yin declines, and it is half past nine in the evening, when the yin and yang clash with each other. Lai Pizhou looked at me in a daze for a long time, and then shook his head with guilt on his face and said I shouldn't have brought you here!

"Brother, can you make it clear?" I hate this kind of thing when I don't say it halfway.

"You don't understand, by the way. You're supposed to be a virgin, right? He asked again.

I was stunned for a moment, and instantly felt hot on my face.

Although I'm in my 20s, I really haven't done that, and I've seen a lot of small movies, but I haven't had the opportunity to practice them.

Before, I also talked about a few girlfriends, but I just pulled my little hand, kissed and touched it at most, I had the opportunity to do it, but I was not angry, and I surrendered the gun before I started, not to mention how embarrassing it was.

Seeing that my face was red, Lai Pizhou suddenly laughed, and whispered that there was still help, but it was not good to play the less, and it was not good to vent his vitality.

How old is this Lai Pi Zhou, he still drives at every turn, and he still drives very fast when he returns the car.

But what the hell is this guy doing, asking the date of birth, asking when he was born, and asking me if I am a virgin, is it possible to introduce me to a daughter-in-law? Afraid that I'm a second-hand product, and his daughter will suffer?

I saw that the atmosphere was strange and solemn, so I made a joke and said Lai Pizhou, you don't want to marry your daughter to me, do you?

Lai Pizhou nodded heavily, and said yes, I want to find you a family business.

I burst out laughing, thinking he was talking about his daughter, so I said big brother, don't be joking, your eldest daughter is only 13 years old, don't be funny.

Lai Pizhou didn't say a word, and he didn't say a word until he got downstairs when he got home, but kept sighing with his head down, so that I didn't know what to say.

It's already past 8 o'clock in the evening when I get home, and I'm already tired after a long day, and now every step I take seems to cost me half of my life.

I told Lai Pizhou that I would go upstairs and sleep first.

Who knew he told me to wait, he got me something.

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, I was about to fall asleep at the top of the stairs before he came out with a bag of things.

"Before you enter the door, you wash your hands with grapefruit leaves, and then you make a pot of fire and step over to the house, so that you can get rid of the evil." Lai Pizhou said as he handed me the cloth bag.

When I opened the cloth bag, I found that there were dried grapefruit leaves and a pile of furniture leaflets inside, which seemed to be asking me to burn the leaflets.

In addition to these, there is also a bowl of raw rice, a red candle, a red cloth, and three black short incense sticks, which are about the length of a cigarette case.

I asked him what these were.

Lai Pizhou waved his hand and told me to leave it alone, and then explained to me.

"When you enter the house, empty the furniture in the southwest corner, and if there is a flower pot in the previous position, you wipe it with white vinegar, then put the bowl of raw rice in the corner of the southwest corner, soak the raw rice with the oil dripping from the candle, then cover it with a red cloth, and light three short sticks of incense on it."

I grinned and said Big brother, don't you want to make it so scary, I'm scared to sleep alone at night.

My parents are both teachers, and they usually live in the school's staff building, and they rarely come back.

"Do you remember what I just said?" Seeing my hippie smile, Lai Pizhou was a little angry, and his eyes were bulging.

I yawned and said remember, can I do this little thing, and I was shocked.

"Okay, hurry up and go back to bed, and you can get up tomorrow when the rooster crows and see what happens to that bowl of rice." Lai Pizhou yawned twice after speaking, and walked back to his room to sleep with his hands behind his back.

Before entering the house, I washed my hands with grapefruit leaves, and then burned the leaflets, and only when the fire was at its peak did I step over.

When I got home, I put the rice in the southwest corner according to Lai Pi Zhou's instructions, and my eyelids were so tired that I was fighting, and my face and feet were not washed and I fell on the bed.

As a result, before I could sleep for two minutes, I heard a knock on the door.

"Knock...... Knock knock knock ......"

Knocked four times, not lightly or heavily.

I thought it was Lai Pi Zhou who came looking for me, so I got up and went to open the door.

When I opened the door, there was no one outside, but I didn't know where a cold wind blew from nowhere, and I shivered with cold.

As soon as he turned around and walked to the room, the knock on the door rang again, not more, no more, just four times.

I scolded and was about to open the door, but the next second I was stunned.

Because the downstairs was rented out to a pawnshop, my dad installed an iron door at the staircase on the second floor, saying that it was a little safer.

In other words, in addition to the wooden gate, there is also an iron gate outside. And the iron gate is at the staircase on the second floor, and we live on the third floor.

My parents didn't come back, and even if they did, they wouldn't knock on the door if they had the key, and even if they did, they wouldn't be so boring to joke with me and scare me.

Lai Pizhou had never done such a prank in his six years, and besides, he didn't have the key to the iron door, so he couldn't go up to the third floor.

So who's outside the door?

When I was stunned, there were four knocks on the door that were not light or heavy.

Boom...... Knock knock knock......
