Chapter 39: Diary
Hearing that Zhang Xin was going out, Li Xue asked, "What should we do if a ghost comes after you leave?" β
"It's even more dangerous outside, this blessed land that Xiao Rou brought us here, if I'm not mistaken, it's the same as the formation guarding the village outside, it has been arranged by the predecessors, and ordinary ghosts shouldn't be able to enter."
He still took out a small bag from his body uneasily, "These two ghost talismans were given to me by my master at the beginning, you take them first, at least ordinary little ghosts can't help you." β
After he finished speaking, he took out two small yellow pieces of paper from the pouch and stuffed them into our bodies.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." With that, he turned and left the house.
After he left, Li Xue fiddled with the yellow paper in his hand, "Xiaorou, don't say it, although my cousin is ugly and stupid, but there are a lot of good things, his master must be an idiot, give him so many treasures to defend himself." β
I don't think Zhang Xin must be her cousin.
But what she said is right, from the Five Emperors' money that Yu Yang was envious of at the beginning, to the peachwood sword in his hand, and then to the current ghost talisman paper, this guy is like a treasure potia, and he doesn't know how much capital he has.
In addition, he can actually make the power of Longhu Mountain, even if he cheats on the street, he has to bring him back and let him learn Taoism, which shows that his talent must not be low.
If he learns Taoism well, I estimate that his achievements will be much higher than Yu Yangdu.
I wanted to ask Li Xue about some things about his cousin, but I saw that her face suddenly turned pale, "Xiaorou, that stone tablet ......"
"What's wrong with the stele?"
"There seems to be a person standing on the stone tablet just now, and he walked over to that side."
Is that the female ghost?
I suddenly realized that Zhang Xin had just said that there was a formation left by the seniors here, which could prevent the imps from coming in. But he didn't say that there were ghosts in the house, so what should I do!
Cold sweat flowed down my forehead, I grabbed the ghost charm tightly, and looked around cautiously, as did Li Xue on the side, but after a while, there was still nothing abnormal in the room.
"Cher, you can't be mistaken, right?"
"I, I don't know, I just seemed to look at her and floated away over there......" Li Xue pointed to the table next to the bed.
I swallowed hard and slowly walked towards the table.
It was supposed to be a wardrobe, I opened it, and inside I saw several pieces of clothing, all of which were very shabby, and each one was densely patched.
Even ordinary mountain people in this society can't find such tattered clothes, let alone such beautiful women.
I continued to look through it with suspicion, and under two old clothes, a small yellowed notebook appeared in front of me.
The book is the most ordinary homework book.,But it's flattened and stretched.,There's no wrinkle in a corner.,You can see it.,Its original owner should cherish it.γ
On the notebook, a few words were written crookedly, and it took me a long time to recognize them, "Xiao Xiao's thoughts." β
Is this the female ghost's diary?
I would never do this kind of peeping into other people's privacy on weekdays, but today, I have a faint sense of urgency in my heart, eager to see the contents.
After hesitating for a long time, I turned it on.
There are only months in it, but there is no year, I don't know when I started to write it, I can only judge from the slightly naΓ―ve notes, she should not be very old when she wrote it.
The first page reads, "Today Grandma Zhang bought me a notebook, I am so happy, Grandma Zhang told me that as long as I seriously write down what happened every day, my parents will be able to see it." β
"Watching my friends playing outside, I also wanted to go over to play, but I was pushed to the ground by Xiaopang, it hurt, they said that my parents were killed by me, he lied to me, Grandma Zhang said Dad, Mom just went out."
"My birthday is coming, Grandma Zhang boiled me an egg, it was delicious, I still wanted to, but my eldest brother told me that next time I want to eat, I have to wait until the New Year, how far is the New Year......"
In order to save her position, she wrote very small, each page has hundreds of words, and the whole dozen pages are all about her childhood, and I can feel the pain of a little girl, without parents, and being rejected by the whole village.
After reading a few more pages, my gaze stopped at a paragraph, "Grandma Zhang fell asleep in the morning, no matter how I called her, I couldn't wake her up, just like my parents at the beginning, she was going to go far away, why didn't she take me with her." β
"I was so hungry that I couldn't help but take a tomato next door, and they said it was a thief, and I beat it, it hurt so much......"
I thought it was all like this, but when I read it on, I realized that the things recorded in my notebook began to grow terrifying.
"Today, Grandma Zhang has gone home, brought me a lot of delicious food, so happy, she said that she will take me to the mountains to find my parents, and if I find my parents, I will not be wronged."
"I didn't find my parents in the mountains, but there was a big brother in a black robe, the big brother seemed to be sick and very weak, but he came back with me, treated me very well, and brought me delicious food every day."
"Chubby doesn't know why, when he was bullying me, he suddenly yelled and jumped into the stinky ditch, and never got up, although I don't like him, but I still want him to play with me."
Later, several people who bullied her were recorded, all of whom died tragically on the spot.
Seeing this, if I'm not mistaken, that big brother is not a human at all, but a ghost, and it is likely to be the ghost king we saw that day!
It's no wonder that on the day he saw him, he would say that after waiting for Xiao Xiao for a long time, he would burn the paper figure who tripped Xiao Xiao to death on the spot, it turned out that there was such a relationship in the middle.
As she grew older, her handwriting became clearer.
Xiao Xiao slowly learned that her parents, Grandma Zhang, and the little friends who bullied her did not go far away, but died.
The big brother's body slowly improved after several people died in the village one after another.
She began to realize that the big brother might not be human, and she developed a visceral fear of him, and after another death in the village, she quarreled with the big brother for the first time, and the big brother never appeared again.
Because of the previous few deaths, the village has fallen into a panic, at this time, someone gave everyone a dream, saying that because those people offended the mountain god, as long as a girl is worshiped every year in the future, no one in the village will continue to die.
Which family's yellow flower girl is willing to send it up the mountain for nothing.
At that time, someone was clamoring to move out, and a terrible thing happened, the first family to move out, just out of this village, was hit by a mudslide rolling down from the mountain, and the whole family had no life.
There are also people who do not believe in evil, and the second household, just out of the village, died tragically.
At this time, no one dared to propose to move anymore, and a saying began to circulate in every household that the life in their village was here, and the roots were here, and if they wanted to leave here, there was only one way, and that was to die!
In front of the lives of the whole village, one girl a year seems insignificant.
After the widow Wang and her mother-in-law Shuai first compromised, more and more people in the village agreed to send the girl up the mountain in exchange for peace in the village.
Living together for so long, whoever has a daughter is like a mirror in everyone's heart.
The villagers who lost their minds began to look from house to house, and it was also at this time that the bad roots of human nature were fully revealed, and the amiable elders in the past became hideous in order to survive.
The mountain god also said that as long as the girl was sent up the mountain on time, no one would die.
After a few years like this, finally, Xiao Xiao turned eighteen, and the people in the village hit her with the idea, Xiao Xiao has no relatives, and for these people who have long been accustomed to forcibly kidnapping young girls, they are familiar with the road.
This is the scene where Xiao Xiao was tied up on the mountain that night.
I know all about what happened after that.
After Xiao Xiao was sent up the mountain, he let the ghost king drain his soul, and then the entire small mountain village didn't know how long it was, or was killed by the ghost king.
The only thing that puzzled me was, why did the widow of the Wang family and her mother-in-law go down the mountain alive? Even in the backyard of his house, there is a cave that leads to Yangqu Village.
