Chapter 82: Find the Ghost
When I saw Mrs. Qiu in the house, I was so surprised, where did the little girl go?
Before I could calm down, Mrs. Qiu dragged me into the room, and I was just about to break free and scream, she smiled and made a shushing gesture.
Let me shhh?
My fire came up at that time, and Mrs. Qiu whispered:
"Eavesdropping outside, you be quiet"
I'm confused when Mrs. Qiu said this, someone is eavesdropping? Eavesdropping on what?
Mrs. Qiu looked at me puzzled and continued:
"You young man has a very good heart, but he can't tell the difference between black and white, good and evil."
I struggled to break free of Mrs. Qiu's hand and said:
"I saw you and Uncle Zhou go out just now, why are you here?"
Mrs. Qiu smiled and said:
"It's just a paper man of mine who went with her, and I stayed to wait for you."
"Wait for me?"
I was stunned when I heard this, and asked angrily:
"What about the little girl? Where did you hide her? ”
Mrs. Qiu smiled and shook her head.
"I didn't hide her, I don't know where she went, I, I'm looking for you for something else,"
"Didn't hide her? It's that you told the water lotus to go up the mountain to find the ginseng doll for the birthmark, and as soon as the water lotus birthmark is good, the little girl will be gone, and you also guessed the identity of the little girl is the ginseng doll."
Mrs. Qiu leaned back and closed her back when she heard this, and whispered for a while:
"What do you mean, you think that little girl who always comes to you is a ginseng doll?"
Mrs. Qiu's strange smile followed by the rhetorical question made me particularly uncomfortable, as if she was laughing at a stupid donkey.
I frowned and before I could speak, Mrs. Qiu continued:
"There are indeed ginseng dolls on the mountain, I didn't lie, but it's not the little girl who looks for you every day"
I didn't trust her at all, and I suspected that she was deliberately saying this to make sure that she had secretly cooked the little girl.
I widened my eyes and said sharply:
"It's useless for you to give me less talking, I met you at the gate on the night the little girl disappeared, and I ask you again, why don't you sleep at night?"
Mrs. Qiu nodded and smiled:
"Don't you see it all, the papercutter does the work for me."
Although I had already guessed it in my heart, I was still surprised when these words came out of Mrs. Qiu's mouth.
Seeing my reaction like this, Mrs. Qiu smiled and said:
"I was entrusted to bring you into the house to tell you something."
After saying this, Mrs. Qiu's face sank, and she continued in a low voice:
"Recently, a ghost came to the village, I look like I'm here to find you."
What the??
Mrs. Qiu said this, I trembled all over, and a ghost came to the village to look for me?
I was sent to this Huaihu Village by Lao Wu to take refuge, more precisely, to take refuge from ghosts, Lao Tang or Sixth Uncle, one of them found me??
I thought about it the other way, it's not like that, this old lady Qiu is mysterious and weird, I am not related to her, who is she entrusted by, why help me, I have no reason to believe her.
I shouted:
"I don't need you to care, you quickly tell me where the little girl let you go?"
Mrs. Qiu raised her voice when she heard me, frowned, and quickly waved her hand and said:
"Be quiet, the ghost in my room can't get in, but he'll be able to overhear it if it's too loud."
Although I don't believe what Mrs. Qiu said, the fear of Lao Tang and Uncle Sixth is still there, and I don't know what to do for a while.
"The little girl is just a little delayed, she will be able to go tomorrow night, you still have to worry about yourself"
I swallowed, Mrs. Qiu refused to admit it, and it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but the little girl was indeed not in her three rooms.
Mrs. Qiu stretched out her hand to tidy up the red scarf around her neck, and said in a low voice:
"If you don't believe what I say, before you go to bed tomorrow night, poke a shovel and scatter the ashes at the door of your house, and wait until dawn to see if there are any footprints."
Mrs. Qiu said so confidently, how much made me a little shaken, I have also heard of the local method of checking ghosts at the bottom of the pot, if someone dies in any family, the family members who are good at returning to the soul on the night can scatter the ashes at the bottom of the pot at the door, and the footprints of the dead family members will be seen at dawn.
I thought to myself, tomorrow night, if the little girl doesn't show up again tomorrow night, I must come and tear down the bones of this old thing.
After speaking, I was about to turn around and go out, but Mrs. Qiu grabbed me again.
"Young man, this ghost who came to you is not a good stubble, you must not tell outsiders about this, don't bother others, you know?"
I didn't say anything, shook off her hand and went out.
When I came out of the house, I was in a very bad mental state, and I looked around suspiciously, are there really ghosts around me?
Shuilian hurriedly ran over and asked me what the result was.
I didn't tell her about seeing Mrs. Qiu in the house, but I just shook my head and said I didn't find out.
Shuilian sighed and didn't ask any more questions, and I sent Shuilian home and returned to my own residence.
I was lying on the bed and kept thinking about what Mrs. Qiu said, a ghost came to the village to look for me!!
I remember that Xu Banxian'er in Yangcaogou said that there is only one ghost around me, and now Lao Tang and Sixth Uncle are also pinching each other.
Who is that ghost that has been lurking around me all along? Did he really find me?
The candle is swallowed up in the middle of the night, and it is rare to hold its own circle of light.
But it didn't drive away the fear that was deep in my heart.
I hope that what Mrs. Qiu said is true, and I hope that the little girl is okay and can come to me alive tomorrow: Uncle, borrow my mobile phone to play.
But I don't want Mrs. Qiu to tell the truth, because I'm afraid!! I'm afraid I'll really be found by that ghost!
After dawn, I deliberately went up to the foot of the mountain to pick up some dry and flammable branches, and went home and burned them to ashes in the stove pit.
I vaguely said that I wanted to get a taste of country life.
I was afraid that the little girl would avoid Shuilian, so I told her that I would not eat tonight and go to bed early, so that she did not have to come to deliver food.
After the water lotus agreed, she also went home to rest.
...............
The ink-soaked night came again.
I let out a long sigh and lay down on the bed, trying my best to pretend to be the same as usual, but the beating in my heart could not be stopped.
Will the little girl show up?
I watched the minutes and seconds slip away with anxiety, until at half past nine in the evening, there was a "creak" and the door of the outer room was pushed open.
When I heard this, I couldn't pretend anymore and sat up nervously.
To my surprise and delight, the little girl really came!!
She was still wearing the red clothes, with two ponytails, and a pair of big eyes blinking brightly and said:
"Uncle, borrow my phone to play with me"
I quickly nodded, moved a place for her, and after the little girl came up with slippers, she happily took the phone and started playing.
I stared intently at the little girl, and after making sure that she was not injured, I asked cautiously:
"Little sister, you didn't finish playing the night before, why did you leave suddenly? And why didn't you come yesterday? ”
The little girl lowered her head and whispered:
"Someone entered the yard the night before, and I went out and chased him away"
I was shocked and asked:
"Who got into my yard?"
The little girl whispered:
"I don't know, I'm not from the village"
As soon as the little girl said this, the cold sweat on my head came down instantly!!
The ghost has really found it!
Is it Old Don? Is it the sixth uncle? Or is it Tang Yao?
I suppressed the fear in my heart and continued to ask:
"Little sister, what does he look like? Tell me about it."
"I didn't look at my face, he left as soon as I went out, and I chased him for a long time and didn't catch up."
"Then why did you go last night, why didn't you come to me?"
The little girl tilted her head and showed a helpless expression and said:
"My grandma wouldn't let me come out to play last night"
Ginseng doll and grandma?? Ginseng dolls?
I couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of nature, but I didn't take the liberty of asking, and nodded and didn't bother her anymore.
In this way, Mrs. Qiu really told the truth, it was not that she caught the little girl, so the next thing is to confirm the most important part.
At about eleven o'clock in the evening, after the little girl left, I quickly went to the kitchen stove pit and poked out a shovel of ash, and spread it evenly at the door of the bedroom and the door of the outer room.
Will there be footprints?
After doing all this, I put out the candle and lay on the bed nervously, not daring to come out, pretending to be asleep.
I don't know how long I lasted it, but I really fell asleep.
As soon as it was dawn, the water lotus probably came earlier than usual, thinking that I hadn't eaten dinner last night and was afraid that I would be hungry.
She opened the door and was about to take a step, I woke up instantly and quickly shouted: Don't come in!!
Shuilian was startled and asked through the door:
"What's wrong Brother Li, aren't you wearing clothes?"
"Yes, I'm not wearing clothes, don't come in yet, go out and wait for me"
Shuilian obediently closed the door of the outer room again.
I was worried about the ashes scattered at the door, so I quickly came out of the bed and came to the door to investigate carefully.
These two pot bottom ashes actually really printed footprints!!
The footprints did not scatter the ashes, but were lightly imprinted on a shallow layer on them.
There really are ghosts here! Really came to me!
I took a deep breath and sat down on the floor.
Shuilian saw me through the door and window, and quickly opened the door and came in, helped me up, and asked:
"Brother Li, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?"
I shook my head and kept saying it was okay.
The little girl came back last night, and a ghost was looking for me, and what Mrs. Qiu said about these two things was true!
But why would she want to help me?
After I washed and ate hastily, I hurried to Mrs. Qiu's house.
Mrs. Qiu was lighting the fire by the kitchen stove, and when she saw me, she gave me a look as expected.
I understand what she means, there are ghosts eavesdropping!
I pretended to say:
"Mrs. Qiu, you are obviously lying, you are not done with this matter, I still have to check that room"
As I spoke, I folded my hands and bowed my waist in a thank-you gesture.
Mrs. Qiu naturally understood, and followed me and pretended to say:
"You kid, you said you weren't at my house, it's not over yet, okay, let you check it again"
With that, I turned around with Mrs. Qiu and went into the kitchen room.
As soon as I entered the room, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and said nervously:
"Aunt Qiu, please save me"
Mrs. Qiu smiled and said:
"See the little girl? See footprints? ”
I quickly nodded.
"I saw it, I won't tell you, I came to your Huaihu Village to take refuge, but I didn't expect to be chased by him"
"Well, this ghost is very resentful, it's not easy to get it!"
I said nervously:
"Is there a way for you to get rid of this ghost, or let me see who he is!"
Mrs. Qiu lowered her head and pondered for a while, then replied in a deep voice:
"I don't know what grievances there are between you, but I don't think he looks like he's going to hurt you right away, although I can't help you get rid of it, but if you really want to know who he is, only I have a way to make him appear"
I took a deep breath, excited in my heart, and leaned over to listen to Mrs. Qiu tell me in detail about her plan to make him appear tonight.
I finally want to know what Xu Banxian'er said, who is the only ghost around me?
I'm finally going to find this ghost!!
