Chapter 4: Ghosts Eat Rice

As the minutes ticked by, the knocks on the door kept coming.

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

I clenched my fists, rushed to the kitchen and grabbed a kitchen knife to give myself courage, then slammed the door open.

Outside the door, it was still empty.

Suddenly, I remembered what Huang Mingde said, which made the hairs on my back stand up.

He said that in the days after helping his father move his grave, he slept until midnight and always heard someone knock on the door, but when he opened the door, no one came.

Isn't that the same as I'm in now?

When Huang Mingde said before, I could calmly use scientific evidence to analyze, but now my mind is in chaos.

Looking at the staircase corridor of the black hole, I swallowed my saliva, and a feeling of unease suddenly rose in my heart.

It felt like there were eyes in some dark corner that I couldn't see.

I'm looking at it, it's ...... Also looking at me.

I slammed the door shut, panting and panting against the back of the door.

To be honest, even though I'm an atheist, I'm really scared now.

It's okay, don't scare yourself! I forced myself to calm down as I walked back.

It may have been that God heard my prayer, and after more than ten minutes, the knock on the door did not sound.

When I opened the door just now, I was blown by the cold wind, and I was completely sleepless, and my mind was in a mess.

It was only half past two in the morning.

I can't sleep, I'm afraid that the damn knock on the door will come again, and sometimes the invisible things are often the most terrifying.

Sitting in front of the computer, I was going to find a comedy to dispel the fear in my heart, and the night was so fucking hard.

I watched Xing Ye's big talk Journey to the West, a very old comedy, and when I saw the Bull Demon King forcibly pressing the Zixia Fairy to kowtow to get married, my heart trembled.

To be precise, when I watched the two red dragon and phoenix candles burning in the movie, I inexplicably remembered the ugly expression on his face when I told Lai Pizhou that I had lit the red candle after I helped the female corpse be buried.

When I think of the raw rice he asked me to put in the southwest corner tonight, a nameless sense of fear arises.

I quickly searched on Du Niang, and saw that the result almost scared me out of my urine.

The post said that if you encounter a female corpse you don't know, you can kindly help her bury her, which is a meritorious thing.

You can also place some offerings, but don't light red candles.

Because you help her bury her is to give her a home, and to light a red candle is to tie yourself and her together, because since ancient times, lighting red candles represents joy, and in ancient times, a pair of red candles would be lit when you got married.

Of course, there are also many netizens who post that they will also light red candles when worshipping their relatives, and there is no, which is a very feudal and superstitious statement.

I was looking at the post when the door suddenly slammed into the wall, like the sound of the door bounced against the wall after it was opened.

It's strange, I've already closed the door, how can I open it by myself?

I was about to get up to take a look, but I found that I didn't have any strength in my body, my legs seemed to be rooted in the ground, and my hands were so weak that I couldn't move a finger.

The wind was cold and cold, cold to the bones, making me shiver, and my upper and lower teeth kept pounding.

What frightened me even more was the faint sound of footsteps ringing in my ears.

He walked very lightly, and his footsteps were regular and slow, from far to near.

It's like...... It looks like someone walked in through the gate......

My whole heart was in my throat, and I wanted to turn my head to look back, but I couldn't do that.

"Are you looking for me?"

An eerie voice sounded in my ears, and the roots of my ears were cold and swishing.

I couldn't see it, but I could clearly feel it standing next to me, blowing into my ear.

My body was even colder, as if a knife was scraping my bones.

Immediately after, I felt a small, cold hand roaming across my chest, and something soft, wet sliding behind my ear.

I can't tell you the feeling, it's not the kind of caress that lovers have, but it's like a cold snake lying on top of me, and the cold snake letter keeps spitting on the root of my ear, and goosebumps fall to the ground.

I don't know how long it took for it to come down from me, and when I left, I smelled a faint fragrance, like jasmine, but it wasn't.

"I'll come back to you!" A cold voice crept into my ears.

It was only after half a ring that I came back to my senses and realized that I could actually move.

And the cold and gloomy breath before disappeared with that sentence, and the surroundings warmed up.

I leaned back in my chair and let out a long breath, my back wet with sweat and sticking to my back.

I glanced at the time on the computer and found that only half a minute had passed.

What happened just now? Is everything hallucination?

But why is this illusion so real, is it not an illusion, I really see something dirty?

……

I didn't dare to stay at home, so I opened the door and rushed downstairs to find Lai Pizhou without even changing my clothes.

The door was slammed loudly, and his voice was hoarse, and Lai Pizhou opened the door sleepily.

"Why don't you sleep at night?" He yawned and wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand.

I swallowed and stammered that I might have seen something dirty.

He shook me and pulled me into the room, quickly closed the door, and asked me what was wrong.

Seeing that I was trembling and speechless, he quickly lit a cigarette for me and stuffed it into my mouth.

I took two hard breaths, and the spicy nicotine swirled around my lungs twice, and I calmed down a little, and then told me what had just happened.

"So fast?" Lai Pizhou frowned and muttered quietly.

"What's so fast?" I asked him.

He waved his hand and said it's okay, don't ask.

As soon as I heard what he said, I was instantly furious, and it was as if a fire was burning in my chest.

I stood up and grabbed him by the collar and cursed MMP with red eyes.

"What the hell, let me not ask? Do you know I thought I was going to die! ”

Lai Pizhou was not angry, and gently patted the back of my hand, signaling me to calm down and have something to say.

I let go of his collar and sat down on the stool, but I couldn't calm down at all, and when I think back to the scene just now, I feel like I'm going to have the rest of my life.

"Did you know I was going to have something to do tonight?" I stared at him.

Lai Pizhou was silent for a long time before nodding, saying that he had guessed, but he was not sure, so he asked me to put a bowl of raw rice in the southwest corner of the room, because he was afraid that I would be afraid that he would not tell me in advance.

"Is this any use?" When I heard him say this, most of my anger disappeared.

Lai Pizhou walked a few steps around the house with his back on his back, and said that he had the same reason for letting me release raw rice in the southwest corner.

The location in the southwest corner of the house is generally not exposed to the sun, it is yin, and raw rice is cold, which is an extremely cold thing.

In the past, when the ancients returned at night, they would put a handful of raw rice in their pockets, and if they felt something dirty near them, they would take a sip into the sky in their mouths.

It will make the dirty thing mistakenly think that the person he is with is the same kind and will leave on its own.

Putting a bowl of raw rice in the southwest corner and dripping oil on the rice with a candle is actually for the ghosts to eat.

If the oil on the rice is gone, but the rice is still there, it means that the ghost has no intention of harming people; If the rice is gone, but the oil is still there, it means that the dirty thing depends on you.

Generally, this practice is to test whether there are ghosts in the house, and the other is to negotiate with ghosts.

After all, yin and yang are separated, ghosts have ghost paths, people have people's paths, and ghost speakers will not hear it, unless they are people who have learned Taoism, or people who are born weak and dying.

That's why I use this method to communicate with that kind of thing.

I heard it chilling all over my body.

I am not a learner, and I am not naturally weak, but I can hear ghosts talking, doesn't that mean...... I'm dying?

I was so scared that I almost fell off the stool.

"Am I dying?" I looked at him with a sad face.

Lai Pizhou didn't speak, his face was gloomy.

"You can save me, right? You'll be able to save me! I took his hand and regretted it very much, if I hadn't followed him with curiosity, this would not have happened.

I really want to give myself two slaps in the face.

After more than ten minutes of silence, Lai Pizhou looked at me with remorse on his face, saying that he shouldn't have let me go with him in the first place, and that he had harmed me.

As soon as I heard the anger that had just dissipated come up again, I roared hoarsely, "Now that this is still a fart, I want to ask you, am I dying!" ”

Lai Pizhou spread his hands and said that he didn't know, he was just a gold bone picker, not a learner. The methods he knew how to do were made by a friend of his, and I didn't expect them to really come in handy today.

I was overjoyed, and I looked at Lai Pizhou with bright eyes, listening to him, his friend was very powerful.

"Can your friend save me?" When I asked this, my heart went up to my throat.

Lai Pizhou nodded.

I was overjoyed, and said that you should contact that friend of yours quickly, you won't watch me die, right?

Lai Pizhou shook his head in embarrassment.

"You...... Are you really going to watch me die? ”

"I'm not going to let you die."

"Then why are you ......?"

"Wondering why I didn't go to him?"

I nodded.

"Because ......," said Rappyzhou, after a pause, "because he is not human at all!" ”
