The temperature in the mountains drops after nightfall, but the impetuousness in my heart on a hot summer day buzzes like a swarm of mosquitoes on the road.

This is the sixth day since Zhou Manman arrived at my house, and I have a vague feeling that something unexpected may happen tonight.

When I got home, my mother saw that my face was not good, so she asked me what had happened, and I told my mother what had happened in the past two days and my own speculations, and my mother did not say a word, her face was hesitant, as if she was weighing something.

I said, "Mom, why don't we move to the county for a few days, and then wait until this limelight is over, the mountains are now making people panic, and I feel that something might happen tonight." ”

The mother said, "If you and Manman move to the city for a few days, Mom won't go." ”

"Mom, when do you have to stay in the mountains, my dad is a scumbag, you just don't go out of the mountains and wait for him for the rest of his life, he won't come back." I said impatiently.

When my mother heard me say this, she raised her hand and gave me a slap, and her strength was not heavy, but she regretted it after the fight, her eyes dodged, showing a hint of panic, and she whispered, "Don't talk about your dad like that." ”

My mother was reluctant to beat me since I was a child, and when she heard my insulting words to my father, she turned her back and said, "Wash your hands and eat, Manman is still waiting." ”

When the night completely fell, I lay in bed thinking about what had happened in the past few days, and I was restless, and I always felt that something was wrong.

I quietly got up after the lights went out in my mother's room, and it was exactly 10 o'clock in the evening, and everyone in Mingyue Village had turned off the lights and went to bed.

The ghost murder incident for several days has made the entire Futu Ridge become a dead city every night, no human voice can be heard, and even no light can be seen.

There are many wild cats and owls in the mountains, and at night they will hear a sound similar to the cry of a baby, which is particularly harsh.

Zhou Manman saw that I was dressed, took my hand and said, "Don't go, I'm afraid." ”

I squatted on the side of the bed and whispered: "Man Man, the person who died tonight should be Wang Hai, but Huang Cripple is already ready to protect him with all his might, whether the murderer behind the scenes is a person or a ghost, he will definitely act tonight, and I have been dragged into this matter, so I have to go and find out what the truth is going on." ”

Zhou Manman's eyes flashed with tears, and she wanted me to stay, she held my hand and said, "Then you should be careful." ”

I nodded and tiptoed out of the house.

That night, the moon was as bright as water, and if I looked down from above, I would be the only one who dared to go out at this time.

Mingyue Village is only five miles away from Dawa Village, and if you walk faster, you can get there in twenty minutes, and I walked all the way to the back of Dawa Village in fright, and saw the yellow lame man's house with lights still on in a wood.

When I got to the side of the yellow cripple's house, I climbed up a huge plane tree. The plane tree looked to be some years old, and its bark was old and cracked. The leaves of the sycamore tree are already large, but at this time it is summer, and the leaves are even more luxuriant, and no one will notice it if you hide in the tree.

I can just see the movement of Huang Cripple's house at the height of the plane tree, at this time Huang Cripple is wearing a yellow robe and sitting at the door of the hall with his eyes closed, there is a copper bell hanging on the gatehouse, and seven or eight cinnabar yellow charms for exorcism are pasted at the door, it seems that he is not sure that the real culprit behind the ghost murder incident is Guo Blind, otherwise he would not use the exorcism to prevent accidents.

Wang Hai in the room sat in the hall without saying a word, but his expression was very flustered, especially when he saw Huang Yan'er, who was sitting opposite him, constantly turning the Swiss Army knife he was carrying, with a cynical expression, he was even more restless.

If Wang Hai dies tonight, then the next one doesn't have to think about it to know that it is Huang Yan'er, Huang Yan'er is bold, no matter whether the murderer behind the scenes is a person or a ghost, he is not afraid, if there is a ghost, his grandfather will come down, and he also has the ancestral talisman treasure of the old Huang family, if the murderer behind the scenes is a person, he doesn't mind meeting it in person.

I waited in the tree for a long time and didn't see any movement, and Wang Hai in the room kept looking at the watch on his wrist. Everyone knows that midnight and early morning are the heaviest time of the day, and several ghost killings are close to this point in time, so he will keep looking at the time.

While everyone was waiting anxiously, the copper bell hanging above Huang Cripple's head rang, and at the same time, the demon-exorcising yellow charm he had posted on the door was also swinging around.

"Grandpa." Huang Yan'er stopped turning the knife in his hand and walked behind Huang Cripple.

The yellow cripple snorted, got up and said, "Wait in the house and don't go out." ”

After saying this, the yellow cripple picked up a short black spear and walked into the courtyard, his eyes wandered around the darkness, and when his gaze swept over where I was, I was startled and thought he had found me, but the yellow cripple quickly looked away again.

In the eyes of the yellow lame, a black old cat appeared on the roof of the yellow lame's house, it was the big black cat we injured yesterday in the back mountain of Mingyue Village.

This big black cat has lived for a long time like the woman in the big red coffin, and the wound on its body that was stabbed by Zhou Cheng with a knife seems to have healed, I originally thought that such an old cat was stabbed in the abdomen and bled nonstop, and it would not take long to die, but now look at its expression, how can it still look a little depressed and about to die.

The big black cat's eyes were green and shining, and at this time there was a fierce cry from his mouth, like a fierce bird and beast, the yellow lame man looked at the copper bell and the ghost exorcism Huang Fu in the yin wind and said suspiciously: "It turned out to be a ghost cat, could it be that the murderer is a cat?" ”

It is rumored that the cat is a messenger of the underworld, very psychic, and its eyes have strange abilities to take people away. The cat-faced old lady incident that caused a lot of uproar in the country was because a domestic old cat intercepted the old man's last breath before he died, so that he possessed the old man and was reborn, became flexible, and ate children. This incident has only passed more than 20 years, and the age is not very long, although I don't know if it's true or not, but when I was in school, it was also rumored that I had a nose and eyes, which caused a great panic.

At the moment, if this big black cat is the murderer of ghosts, then our inference has been wrong!

The murderer behind the ghost murder is not Guo Blind, not a woman in a coffin, not a conspirator, but a big black cat who has become a spirit!

Did this big black cat avenge its owner, so it started killing people one after another?

I felt a little chilled.

"I'll kill you now, and see what else you can do!" The yellow cripple wanted to drive the big black cat away, but the big black cat kept staring at him, his eyes were full of provocation, and the yellow cripple picked up the short spear and threw it over.

The big black cat screamed, and was injured by the black short spear suddenly, this black short spear was carved with a circle of exorcism charms, which is usually used by the yellow lame man to drive away evil spirits, and the magic weapon handed down by the ancestor of the old Huang family has almost never been used, but I didn't expect to use it so easily at this time.

After the black spear flew out, there was a thread wrapped around his hand to make the spear fly back, and the yellow cripple chased out the door without getting rid of the trouble.

As soon as the yellow cripple left, I was still at the top of the tree when I felt a chill attacking, and the yin wind gusted, blowing down all the yellow talismans that the yellow cripple had attached to the door.

It stands to reason that the summer nights are very hot, and even if the temperature is lower in the mountains, it will not be so cold.

At this time, Huang Yan'er and Wang Hai, who were in the house, also seemed to feel the coldness, Wang Hai got up, rubbed his arms and looked around, and said: "Brother Yan'er, why did it suddenly become so cold, did the old man go out to chase ghosts, what should we do if the ghosts come?" ”

"Shh Huang Yan'er made a silent motion, and he seemed to hear some strange sound.

At this moment, the lights in the house suddenly flickered on and off.

With a snap, several lights in the house were extinguished in an instant, Wang Hai was so frightened that he was about to cry, and hurriedly ran to Huang Yan'er.

But Wang Hai had just run two steps before he suddenly flew out upside down and hit the table of the eight immortals in the house, this scene Huang Yan'er could see clearly, no one was by Wang Hai's side, but Wang Hai suddenly flew out!

"Brother Yan'er, save me!" Wang Hai shouted in panic, and suddenly his hands pinched his neck uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Huang Yan'er hurriedly stepped forward and dragged Wang Hai, who was struggling in the dark, out of the house.

"Grandpa!" Huang Yan'er went up and wanted to break Wang Hai's hand but found that he couldn't shake it at all, Wang Hai's hand seemed to be welded on, and he could only call for help to Huang Cripple.

I was about to come down from the tree to help, but I caught a glimpse of a tall man passing under the tree, and I recognized who he was from the side of his face.

The village chief of Mingyue Village, Li Fugui.
