Chapter 13: Playing Dead

She was anxious, "You listen to me, ...... tomorrow night"

I pushed Cao Hongying away and grabbed her shoulder, "What you said is true?" ”

"Our children in the mound know that you are a little pressure official, Hongying doesn't dare to lie to you!"

She was very serious, and this sentence also gave me infinite courage.

I promised her.

Then I strolled home, trying to get a taste of what it was like to fly.

It's cool!

When I got home, I felt weird to see my body still lying on the bed, so I went straight to bed and lay down as my grandfather said, and then I really fell asleep.

At dawn, my grandfather called me up, I was lazy and unwilling to move, and my grandfather made an exception to let me sleep a little longer.

I was running around outside when I was supposed to be resting, and although I was lying in bed, I wasn't actually resting well.

If I don't get up, I'm going to be late, so I got up.

When I left the door, I met Li Yunzu, who seemed to be waiting for me, pacing back and forth in front of my house.

"Li Yunzu." I said hello.

He trotted over, "Brother Yu, Teacher Yu let the ghost haunt us and we don't care, won't you accept the ghost?" “

I didn't know what to answer, so I just walked forward.

"By the way, Brother Yu, can you call me Yun'er in the future, don't call me by my name, how intimate."

"Feminine in womanhood." I replied.

Looking at his smiling face, a great idea popped into me.

I looked Yun'er up and down, we had never discussed it since the accident at his house.

Presumably he hated his uncle, too. I've never heard him talk about his uncle.

The last time I saw Li Tianwei scourge his senior sister, he didn't seem to have any reaction, and he didn't see his uncle in his eyes.

I put my arm around his shoulder, "Of course the demons should be removed, but I need help, do you dare?" “

He patted his chest, "I dare, I hate demons the most, and...... Villain. “

We agreed to act tonight.

Hongying said that it must be tonight, but the weather is not beautiful, and when school is over, the sky is full of dark clouds, and it is raining heavily at night.

I was worried and took my schoolbag and took Li Yunzu home with me.

Grandpa's absence was just convenient for us, and Li Yunzu and I secretly discussed the plans for the evening.

He didn't agree at first, but I couldn't stand my repeated persuasion, and finally I had to tell him the secret that Hongying had told me.

After hearing this, he stared at me and asked me if it was true, and I nodded heavily, "I don't lie to you, it's true." ”

He agreed.

I asked him to lie flat on the bed and took off his clothes until he was down to a pair of small pants, and he hugged me and looked at me, "What are you doing?" ”

I took the brush and my grandfather's ink cartridge, "I have to draw a talisman for you, it can block the yang energy, so that the ghost will not recognize you." Otherwise, if you stay in the mound for one night, you will become crazy. ”

He thought about it for a long time before he reluctantly agreed, it turned out that he was wearing a pair of large pants that did not fit, and his waist was very lamely sewn a few times, and the waist was changed to be smaller.

It's not his father's or his grandfather's.

I laughed a little, and then I couldn't laugh anymore.

He is not as good as me now, only an uncle who is inferior to a beast, and what is the difference between him and an orphan.

I took out a few pieces of underwear from my closet, including my back, and threw it to him, "You'll wear mine in the future." Burn these down. ”

He lay with his eyes closed and didn't speak, and his tears knocked out all the talismans I had just drawn.

"Don't cry, you will be my brother in the future." I don't paint faces, I start with my neck.

He sobbed and replied stiffly, "I don't want you to be your own brother." ”

I carefully drew talismans on every part of his body, and the exposed skin was all over.

His tears were dry, and I painted them on his face, and at last I brought a white cloth to cover his face when he lay down, but I cut two slits in the white cloth's eyes.

He told me to go to another room and change into the clean underwear I gave him, and put on my coat.

Then instead of me lying down, he painted me, I untied the sarcophagus, and he picked it up curiously to look at it.

I yelled, "Don't move! She glared at him.

"What is this?"

"This is the town that has been passed down from generation to generation, and there is only this one." I explained apologetically.

He drew me very seriously, and the portrait that he had learned 10 out of 10 was like.

Although it was just a joke I made at the time, I didn't expect him to put so much effort into it, and it came in handy.

When the talisman on my body was dry, I got dressed and went out.

As soon as I stepped into the mound, I felt that something was wrong, not the same as the last time I came.

I don't know if it's because of the relationship between the talismans on our bodies, the yin energy of the baby mound is much less.

Walking to a place where the weeds were deep, Li Yunzu lay down, and the weeds almost blocked his entire body.

When I put the white cloth on his face, Yun Zu gritted his teeth, his body trembled slightly, and his fingers clutched the weeds next to him.

"Don't be afraid, you are my good brother, I will take care of you." I untied my little sarcophagus and tied it to his chest.

"Brother Yu!" He screamed, and I covered his mouth, "Shhh ”

Under the dark sky, in a barren and lonely wild meadow, a "dead man" covered with a white cloth lay flat in the grass.

Look closely, the masked white cloth is still slightly undulating.

It was nearly nine o'clock when we came, and nothing happened, not even a child's spirit came out.

I saw the hell here the last time it was dark, and what happened today.

The wasteland was quieter than haunted, as if some conspiracy was hatching.

My hiding place was behind a large tree on the outskirts of the mound.

Whoever wants to enter the mound is a must-go except for climbing over the wall from the school.

Finally, I heard the sound of someone's snuck footsteps.

There was also a suppressed cry of "duh". From time to time, if there is nothing.

A gust of wind sent the cry and dissipated before it could reach the ears clearly.

I grabbed the bark and slowly crouched down to look out into the path.

A slender figure walked leisurely and approached the baby mound.

As he approached, a mournful cry came from the baby mound.

The tall figure that scared the ghosts walked up to the mound, struck a match, and lit a wax.

The candlelight illuminated his face - Li Tianwei, finally appeared.

As the candles lit, the ghosts appeared.

High and low, all children, the younger ones are still crawling, and the older ones are eleven or twelve years old.

The air was dreary, the sky was low, and the clouds were rolling.

These little ghosts that no one pays tribute to are densely packed, and I can't count how many there are.

The spirits of so many children wept in mourning.

It was the first time I had heard the ghost cry, and there was a puff of gray smoke from the baby mound, and there was a sense of despair that could not be dissolved.

I was amazed at the number of imps in my heart, and I was even more curious about what Li Tianwei wanted to do.

He walked into the group of ghosts with a bag on his back, holding a whip as thick as chopsticks with a handle in his hand.

The whip rope is somewhat similar to the hemp rope that grandpa threw in the water that day, but the color is different, Li Tianwei's rope is black and red.

A bolt of lightning slashed the sky into pieces and illuminated Li Tianwei at the same time, his face was expressionless, and there was only coldness in his eyes.

As soon as the whip was taken out, the infant souls let out a frightened ghost cry and avoided one after another, and a vacuum belt with a diameter of three meters appeared around Li Tianwei.

He drew a circle with a whip, stuck a branch in the middle, and marked eight directions around the circle.

Next, he whipped his whip in the air, and the ghosts wailed and retreated, and his cold gaze swept away and pointed the whip at a naked little boy.

The boy crawled out and died about the time he was born, with a long umbilical cord attached to his belly and covered in blood.

Li Tianwei pointed to a direction outside the circle, and the baby boy was extremely reluctant to go to that place, standing still, squeaking and crying miserably.

Li Tianwei frowned, and whipped the baby boy.

The baby boy was pumped and rolled in the air, crying and being sucked into the place where the branch was inserted.

In this way, four men and four women were absorbed into eight designated positions.

Another bolt of lightning struck, heavy rain was brewing, and clouds rolled under the canopy.

The mournful cry came from the path, and this time I could hear it clearly, it was a human, not a ghost.

That suppressed cry came from the mouth of the fairy sister in my heart.

She was holding a green bucket with her feet floating and walking towards the baby mound like a soft-footed crab.

It seemed that he would fall next, Li Tianwei saw this, and hurriedly ran over to support his senior sister.

She leaned on Li Tianwei's shoulder, sobbed, and asked softly, "Do you really want to do this?" ”

"Trust me, it's good for our kids."

I listened to this behind the tree as my hairs stood up, and the green thing was the insulated bucket that I usually used to deliver food.

They took the beaten children inside and took them to the cemetery.
