Chapter 118: Sick Sister-in-law
Seeing these dense and colorful snakes, I was so frightened that I left the shovel and threw the bamboo basket, and quickly dragged Lao Liu out of the temple.
Ran down the hill in one breath, Lao Liu was old, and he couldn't run anymore because he was tired.
I sat on the ground panting heavily, and when I think about the situation in the temple, I will unconsciously get goosebumps all over my body, and it is the first time I have seen so many snakes and so many colors of snakes when I have grown so big.
Lao Liu gasped for a long time on the side, pointed at me and said coldly:
"What are you doing, just run out of the temple gate, you have to drag me home, the bones almost let you fall apart."
Lao Liu complained that I was pulling him too far, and I said aggrievedly:
"There are so many colors of snakes, Lao Liu, eighty percent are poisonous snakes, you have the ability not to be afraid of ghosts, it doesn't mean that you are not afraid of bites"
Lao Liu frowned, pondered for a while, and said:
"These three-legged toads haven't seen a lot of twists and turns, okay, we have to go back and find a way to get rid of these snakes."
A layer of bones on the top, a layer of snakes at the bottom, this widow's temple is really not something anyone can enter if they want to, I shook my head helplessly and returned to the tannery with Lao Liu without any gain.
told Boss Zhang about the experience of this trip, and when he heard it, he frowned as if he was empathetic, and said slowly:
"Our village is near the mountain, there are a lot of snakes, snakes are afraid of pungent smells, generally snakes enter the yard house, we are vinegar smoked to repel snakes, I will send someone to the village store to buy more vinegar back."
After that, Boss Zhang called the uncle in the guard room and ordered him to go down.
We waited for the doorman to buy vinegar in the office, and chatted for a while, Boss Zhang asked me if I was used to living in the old dormitory building with Brother Daying, and I naturally said that I lived very well, but suddenly remembered Brother Daying's daughter-in-law who always likes to wash clothes and sing in the middle of the night, so he asked:
"Boss Zhang, you let us catch the toad and give medicine to treat my sister-in-law, and take the liberty of asking, what kind of disease does she have?"
Boss Zhang's face was cloudy when he heard this, and he said slowly:
"My sister-in-law is not in good spirits"
Gone!!
I pricked up my ears and waited for him to continue, but I didn't expect Boss Zhang to send me away in seven words.
The widow's temple is a forbidden place in their village, and Lao Liu and I are now risking so much to help him catch toads, how can we have a little right to know, ask him about the file bag, ask him about his illness, what kind of thing is it to be so vague?
I got a little angry, leaned back in my chair and said:
"My sister-in-law has been living in Brother Daying's room for the past two nights, and she went to my door last night to sing Peking Opera, and Brother Daying also said that she is not in good spirits, but the disease must have a name, is it depression, is it schizophrenia, or is it ......"
Before I finished speaking, Boss Zhang's face suddenly changed, and his handsome face instantly became nervous and distorted.
"Sister-in-law sang Peking Opera at your door last night? My eldest brother always locks the door when he sleeps at night, how did she get out? ”
I was made a mess by his nervous expression.
Whispered back:
"How did it come out? When she opened the door and came out, she washed her clothes and sang Peking Opera in the middle of the night every day, why are you so nervous, is my sister-in-law having mania and seeing me beating someone? ”
Boss Zhang didn't answer, lowered his head thoughtfully, thought for a moment, and said:
"You remember, you must lock the door when you sleep at night, I will ask someone to change the lock in your room, and you don't come out in the middle of the night"
The two brothers said the same thing, and I listened to it inexplicably, and at the same time, I finally couldn't help but explode, and said sharply to him:
"These are all trivial matters, but today you give me two a word, are you in your hands on Lao Wu's file bag?"
Boss Zhang's expression softened, and he sat on the public chair, Erlang's legs were cocked, and he said in a low voice:
"If you catch a toad, you won't be there, but if you can't find it, you won't be there"
I was in a hurry, this grandson is still holding it, I really want to beat him up when I see him so angry!
At this tense juncture, the guard who went to buy the aged vinegar called Boss Zhang and told him that all the aged vinegar in the village commissary had been sold out!
Without vinegar to drive away snakes, the widow's temple could not enter, so Boss Zhang had no choice but to drive to the city to buy vinegar in person, and the trip to catch the toad had to be delayed to the next day.
.................
At dinner, Brother Big Eagle began to fight with me again, he was different from that Boss Zhang, Brother Big Eagle's enthusiasm was not pretended, this meal hugged me and talked endlessly, and when I finally went back to the dormitory building, Brother Big Eagle was not happy, and brought up half a case of beer.
I was in his room chatting and drinking, he had a drink and I took a sip.
Inadvertently, I found that there was only one set of quilts and a pillow on this wooden bed of Brother Big Eagle, and I asked curiously:
"Brother Big Eagle, why do you only have a set of quilts and a pillow on this bed, how do you and your sister-in-law sleep?"
Brother Big Eagle was a little drunk, his mouth was full of wine, he glanced at the bed and laughed, and waved his hand.
"It's okay, I'll cover the quilt, I'll pillow the pillow, your sister-in-law, don't need it" After speaking, she burped.
I laughed for a while, and then asked:
"Brother Big Eagle, let me ask one more question, don't be angry, what kind of disease does my sister-in-law have?"
Brother Eagle grinned drunkenly, laughed and laughed and actually cried again.
He drank too much.
Putting his arm around my shoulders, he said:
"Big brother, let me tell you, don't tell others, your sister-in-law is not sick at all! It's me who is sick! ”
Brother Big Eagle is already drunk and calls me big brother, I think at this time, he should be telling the truth!
"Are you sick? Brother Eagle, you're so strong and strong, I can't see what's wrong with you."
"Hahahaha"
Brother Big Eagle laughed a few times and poured half a bottle of wine from the wine bottle, wiped a handful of tears and said:
"Brother-in-law, let me tell you, I've been aggrieved all these years, and I'm not fucking human."
I really didn't mean to pour him wine, he drank very fast cup by cup, and I could see that this big eagle brother had a lot of grievances, so I did one with him and said:
"Brother Big Eagle, if you trust me, just tell me, although I'm a bus driver and not very capable, but I'm honest and reliable"
Brother Big Eagle wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said:
"Big nephew, I said don't be afraid, I have never seen your sister-in-law, she has been dead for more than a hundred years"
I raised my glass and was about to toast him, when my arm stretched out halfway, and when I heard this, I took off my glass and the glass of beer was all buckled on the table.
I was already a little cold drinking with the window open, and then I suddenly felt the cool breeze swishing into the collar of my back.
The wine spilled on the table, and Brother Da Ying was stunned for a moment, as if he understood that he had ordered it, and slapped his head fiercely.
My legs were a little shaky, and I couldn't drink this wine, I recalled the sound of the water flowing in the laundry for the past two nights, the sound of Peking Opera next door, and I was very scared when I thought about it, and the cold sweat in my head came down instantly.
Brother Big Eagle seemed to be a little sober, and he stretched out his hand guiltily to put his hand on my shoulder, and was about to open his mouth to say something, when he suddenly looked out the window in horror, stretched out his wrist and looked at his watch, and said in horror:
"It's almost twelve o'clock, you hurry back to the house and go!"
With that, Brother Eagle staggered to his feet, pulled me up from my seat and pushed me out.
I was pushed out of the door by him with a bewildered "snap", and I heard Brother Eagle lock himself in the room.
I knew nothing good was going on, so I hurried back to the house and locked the door!
Boss Zhang is a good talker, and he really gave me a new lock in this room.
As soon as the door of my room was closed, I heard a "pop", and Brother Eagle's door opened again!
Wrong!!
Brother Big Eagle just locked the door, which shows that he is very scared, it is definitely not him who will open the door!
Sister-in-law is here!!
I didn't dare to get too close to the door, so I retreated to the side of the bed and listened carefully to the movement outside.
After a few minutes of silence, I heard the familiar sound of running water again, and my sister-in-law started doing laundry again!
I had a chill down my spine and pressed against the window.
After a few minutes, the sound of the water gradually became quieter.
"Squeak" remembered the sound of Brother Eagle's door again.
Back in the house?
I held my breath and stood motionless at the window, my mouth dry and my palms sweaty.
It's been dead for more than a hundred years!!
I wish this sister-in-law was a forgetful ghost, and I hope she didn't remember that there was a person living next door to her.
Time passed minute by minute, and there was no unusual sound from Brother Eagle's room.
I wondered, why did Big Eagle still live in the house?
The sister-in-law just went in and out like this, and Brother Daying also said that he had never seen his sister-in-law, could she be a gust of wind without a figure?
Deathly silence........
My legs were sore, but I didn't dare to sit down, and my mind kept spinning during this quiet time.
No wonder Boss Zhang heard me say that my sister-in-law was singing Peking Opera at the door during the day, he would be so nervous, he also knew the situation.
But didn't Lao Liu say that there is no yin qi in my dormitory, Lao Liu miscalculated? Or is this ghost who has been dead for more than a hundred years too powerful?
The more I thought about it, the more the fear in my heart was magnified.
I just stood at the window until half past two in the morning.
Finally a voice came!!
It's a familiar female voice again, and it's a mad Peking Opera in the middle of the night!
At first next door, then slowly spread in the empty hallway.
Later, she stood at the door of my room again!!
"Bang, bang, bang"
She began to knock on my door, and as she knocked softly, she said:
"I didn't see you last night, let my sister-in-law take a look today"
My mouth began to tremble in fright, and when she saw that I didn't react, she knocked harder.
"Bang Bang Bang"
This continuous knock made my heart beat faster, and I stared at the door, thankful for the new lock today!
"Bang Bang"
She lost her patience and struck so hard that her voice became distorted.
"Open the door!! Let my sister-in-law look at you and open the door!! ”
I couldn't help it anymore and scolded:
"Get out!"
I scolded and stopped knocking on the door.
I just breathed a sigh of relief with a loud "bang" and she started fucking banging on the door!!
It seems that she has a lot of strength, but in just a few moments, she knocked open the broken wooden door of my old dormitory!
Seeing that I couldn't hold it anymore, my heart instantly cooled half.
When the door was completely knocked over, I finally saw this ghost sister-in-law who had been dead for more than a hundred years!
.....................
It scared me, how could there be any woman, it was Brother Da Ying standing at the door, he stepped on the wooden door that fell to the ground, and said in a gentle and sharp female voice as he walked towards me:
"Come, let my sister-in-law see your ....."
