When Uncle Cao came home that night, before he entered the house, he heard Hongying's mother humming, "Twinkle and twinkle, the sky is full of little stars." ”

She has been sick and hasn't gotten out of bed, but she is actually making hand-rolled noodles, which is Hongying's favorite food.

Uncle Cao was a little displeased, and asked her if she didn't have a good rest, why she was cooking, and she sang such childish songs.

Hongying's mother's answer made Uncle Cao's hair stand on end.

She said that Hongying did not die and went home.

Hongying's mother said as she turned around and pointed to the bed with joy on her face-

Leaning on the bed was a shabby rag doll.

The eyes made of glass balls looked at Uncle Cao standing at the door without blinking.

Uncle Cao wanted to throw away the old doll that Hongying had been playing with for a few years, and didn't dare to do it to see Hongying's demeanor.

He felt that his wife was on the verge of insanity.

During the meal, there were obviously only two people, but Hongying's mother set up three pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and the doll sat in Hongying's position in the middle.

After nightfall, the two went to bed, Hongying's mother leaned on the inside of the bed, a large section was vacant in the middle, and the old doll was placed between the two.

As soon as Uncle Cao got closer, she blamed the man, "You should hold down your daughter, lie down." “

Finally, in the dead of night, Uncle Cao took the doll to the backyard while the woman was asleep, threw it far away from the door, and threw it into the field.

Only then did he go back to bed and fall asleep with his wife in his arms.

At dawn, Hongying's mother slapped Uncle Cao's face and woke him up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, a big slap came over.

"You're crazy! Stinky bitch. Uncle Cao roared, and saw the old doll held in Hongying's mother's arms at a glance.

"Where did it come from? Where did you pick her up? Uncle Cao yelled.

"I also ask you, why did you throw Hongying into the field while I was asleep?"

Uncle Cao felt that something was wrong and asked the woman, "How do you know that I threw it, maybe it was taken away by a dog." “

The woman bowed her head and murmured to the doll in her arms, as if in conversation.

At the end, she looked up at her husband, "Hongying said, you took it away and threw it away at night." You didn't dare to wear my shoes for fear of waking me up. “

"You black-hearted one, if you throw my daughter again, I'll bury you."

Hongying's mother's voice suddenly changed, with the crispness and sharpness of a child's voice.

Uncle Cao was a little frightened, and his eyes fell on the doll that couldn't see the color.

The lifeless, translucent glass prosthetic eye stared at him firmly, and the corners of his mouth curled into a weird smile.

He still doesn't believe in the nonsense of "Hongying is back".

He excused himself to be sick, and he didn't get off the ground, just staring at his wife at home.

Hongying's mother looks very normal, sewing and washing clothes, cutting uppers for men, insoles, and making winter mattresses.

The whole day was in a very good spirit, and I was busy.

The more he looked, the more frightened Uncle Cao became, Hongying's mother was talking from time to time, as if there was someone standing next to her.

She looked at the appearance of that "person", the tone of her speech, and the songs she hummed, which were exactly the same as when Hongying was there, and even the height of her eyes was Hongying's height.

"You always say your daughter is here, why can't I see it?" Uncle Cao asked with mixed feelings.

The woman whispered something to the air, and then turned back, "Now my daughter doesn't want you to see it, and she said that in the future you will hold her again and play with her as before." ”

Uncle Cao stared at the location pointed by Hongying's mother, where there stood the invisible "daughter." ”

He and his "daughter" looked at each other, and there was a huge secret in between.

After the appearance of the old doll, the wife regained her spirit, and the family was revitalized and popular again.

Even he himself felt that the invisible "daughter" had a much easier life after coming back.

At that time, I thought that if "she" must exist in her family in this way, it is not impossible.

Although he can't see it with Ben, as long as his wife is happy.

However, at midnight tonight, he experienced a dream that frightened him, and he finally decided to come to his grandfather.

begged the grandfather to "get rid of" his own "daughter". ”

"She must not be my daughter, a ghost from the baby mound. Pretend to be Hongying. ”

"What if it's really your daughter?"

Uncle Cao's face was as pale as a dead man, "No daughter would do what I saw to her mother." ”

"If it's really Hongying, she came to harm my wife, and I, as a father, can only be ruthless."

Grandpa looked at Uncle Cao under the lamp, and finally, he shook his head and refused Uncle Cao's request.

"I'm old, my yin and yang eyes are long gone, my grandson's yin eyes are not open, I can't see ghosts, I can't recognize if it's your daughter, I can't do it."

I can hear that this is a prevarication, and I don't know why Grandpa is reluctant to help Uncle Cao.

To be honest, it is not uncommon to beat his wife in the countryside, and there are really not many men like him who are so considerate of his wife and daughter.

Uncle Cao left my house in despair.

I told my grandfather about the dream I had that day that I saw Hongying and that she was going to leave the baby mound.

Grandpa nodded, "You are really the grandson of our Fang family, a natural pressor, you weren't dreaming that day, that's called leaving the soul." ”

"One of your three souls is out of body and talks to Hongying, who has become a ghost, and what happened is of course true."

"Hongying is really making trouble at home, why don't we care?"

"You believe whatever he says?"

Grandpa lit a cigarette, pointed to my head and said, "Remember, we can't take the job as soon as someone says it, and we have to investigate before making a decision." ”

"How?" I asked dumbfounded.

"What did I just say you'd do?"

"Soul Leaver?"

Grandpa puffed out my cigarette and smiled, "That's right." It starts in a moment. ”

My grandfather taught me a sentence that I could remember in my heart, and when I was about to fall asleep, I could recite it a few times and I would be able to leave my soul.

"It's that simple?" I'm a little skeptical.

"It's not simple at all, there is no soul leaving physique, and it is useless to recite it ten thousand times."

"Isn't Grandpa Li also able to leave his soul? Last time, he followed the female ghost to a friend's house in the county seat. ”

"Fart, that's called life and soul, it's hard to hook out, it's not the same as running out by yourself."

Grandpa lit benzoin, and I soon fell asleep, and when I was confused, I read that sentence in my heart several times, and instead of falling asleep, I woke up.

Grandpa was still sitting on the edge of the bed, and I complained to him, "Where does it work, I'm still awake." ”

Grandpa looked at the bed, and I looked back and was surprised to find that I was still lying down, with my eyes closed and a slight purring sound.

I walked out the door as I had promised, and my body was very relaxed, and where my mind reached, my body could reach it immediately.

I came to Cao's house, and when I went straight to the door, I saw Hongying possessing the doll lying on the bed, hugging her mother.

Uncle Cao sat at the table and didn't sleep, looking at the bed with a worried face.

When she saw me, she got up from the doll and floated to me, and called out, "Brother Yu." ”

I asked my grandfather according to her words, "Hongying, do you know that the dead can't be with the living?" Over time, their lifespan will be shortened. ”

Hongying shook her head, "I won't be with them for long." ”

She blinked, tears welling up in her eyes, "I won't hurt them." ”

"I'll be gone soon."

I looked at her sternly, "Your dad said you did terrible things to mom. ”

She suddenly laughed and floated high, "You mean that?" ”

Hongying rushed to her mother in a flash and crashed into her mother's stomach.

The whole body went into the mother's belly.

Uncle Cao stood up and knocked the teacup on the table to the ground.

I opened my mouth wide to see Hongying's mother being woken up and standing up, her stomach was like a tumor, and Hongying's head was hanging -

Her head poked out of her stomach and she made a standard "ghost" face to Uncle Cao.

The eyes are all white, not half black, the teeth are all gone, and the mouth is open enough to swallow a basketball.

The next second, Uncle Cao fainted in fright and lay on the ground.

Hongying's mother hurriedly helped Uncle Cao, pinching and pouring water, Hongying had already come out of her stomach and grinned at me.

I scolded her, "Why are you scaring your dad like that?" ”

Uncle Cao told my grandfather that he saw a ghost burrow into his wife's stomach and eat her heart and liver.

When I told her, she asked, "Brother Yu, you are also a ghost now, so do you eat your heart?" “

I have to go, and when I was about to leave the door, Hongying suddenly stopped me, "Brother Yu, can you do me a favor?" “

"What's the busy?" I stopped.

She no longer smiled and whispered to me very seriously, "Something will happen tomorrow night, Brother Yu, you ......"

"You let me stay in the mound for the night?!" I glared at Hongying.
