Chapter 5
If you want to say that the previous talks are all about some illusory things, then this story is really supernatural.
……
The front of my yard is my grandfather's house, and the relationship between the front and back yards is only a one-meter-wide alley in the middle, and from my yard, you can directly see the back window of their house.
However, Cao Gai's grandfather has been dead for many years.
That night, it was already dark, and my parents were at my grandmother's house, as if they were relatives.
At home, Cao Hui and I are playing in my yard.
Later, the lights in Cao Gai's grandfather's house suddenly flashed on.
It's like the line is not in good contact, it flashes at first, and it stabilizes after a few flashes.
From the yard of our house, I happened to see the back window of his house, and then there was no one living there for many years, and now suddenly the lights came on, and it was still very conspicuous.
Cao Hui and I thought we were thieves, and he asked me, "Do you want to go and see?" ”
I hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll give Cao Gai a call."
The reason why I said to call him was because I first made sure if it was where their own family was.
If it were their own people, Cao Hui and I would inevitably be embarrassed to rush over.
At that time, the family was still a landline, and the phone was answered by Cao Gai's father, and I called his father brother.
"Hey Brother Xiang, I see that the lights are on in the yard in front of your house, who is there?" I didn't hesitate to ask.
"Front yard? There was no one in that courtyard, who went where to do what at night, and there was nothing in it. ”
"Then I'll go over and take a look, you can come quickly." I was ready to hang up.
"Don't go, wait for me to come and see." He hurriedly stopped me.
I ignored him and hung up the phone, and I didn't feel anything scared when I was young and vigorous.
According to Cao Hui, one of us picked up a top door stick and went over.
Both courtyards have a south-facing gate, and his house is facing away from ours, so we have to go around to the front gate.
There is an alley between my door and his house, separated by a wall, and we are afraid of alarming the people inside, so when we go out of the door, we relax and quietly touch it.
When we arrived at the gate of his house, we looked through the crack in the door, and the light was still on, but there was no movement, and no one was seen.
The lock on the door was still locked, and it looked like no one had opened it for a long time, and a layer of rust came out of it.
I motioned for Cao Hui to squat down, handed him my stick, and climbed up on his shoulders.
Cao Hui handed me the two sticks again, and I pressed them under my stomach and reached out to pull him up as well.
We both slid down the trees in the courtyard.
We didn't say a word or make much of a difference the whole time.
After descending into the courtyard, we hunched over to the window outside the living room.
When we walked to the window, we wanted to look through the window to see inside.
Because no one had lived there for many years, there was a thick layer of dust on the window, and I reached out to wipe it, barely able to see the inside clearly.
I made up my mind that if there were two people in there, we wouldn't be opponents with Ben and leave immediately.
If it were from our village, we wouldn't be rash.
But when I looked inside, there was no one inside, and there was basically nothing, it could be said that there were four walls, only a dilapidated table of eight immortals was placed in the middle of the living room, and the rest of the room was empty.
The light came from a dilapidated light bulb hanging from the beam above the living room.
I made an OK gesture to Cao Hui and pointed to the other side of the living room door, meaning to let him hide on the other side of the door.
In this way, when we open the door, if there is danger inside, we can also attack or respond in a flank way.
When he was in place, I looked at him and reached out and gently pushed the door open.
"Squeak Squeak...... "Squeak" dilapidated old-fashioned wooden door, making a series of sounds, which seems very harsh in this quiet night.
The door was pushed open halfway open, and I felt a cold air hit me, and I shivered, and at the same time made me sober a lot.
Cao Hui and I both lifted our sticks and put them across our chests, and waited for about a minute or so, but we didn't hear any movement in the house, and then we were ready to enter the house.
The door was halfway open, and only one person could go out, so I went in first and came in behind him.
When I first came in, the first thing I saw was whether there was anyone behind the doors on either side.
I turned to look behind the door, and I got goosebumps from the twist.
Behind the door, a boy and girl tied with paper are the kind of paper people that are indispensable for funerals in rural areas.
I turned around and pushed this Cao Hui out, I was indeed a little scared.
When I pushed him, he still looked confused.
I couldn't care so much anymore, and yelled "Run!" ”
He reacted immediately, turned around and ran.
But as soon as I turned around the door, I felt a wind blow from behind me, and the door closed with a "bang".
Cao Hui was behind me when he came in, and he became in front of me when he ran out.
As soon as the door closed, he immediately reached out and grabbed the doorknob to open it.
But it's as if someone is holding on tightly from the outside, and they can't open it.
At that time, most of the wooden doors were open to the inside of the house, so I could only pull the door one side.
After all, it hasn't been inhabited for many years, not to mention that I don't know how many years this door has been used before, anyway, for as long as I can remember, I came to his grandfather's house with Cao Gai, and it was this door.
"Snap" twice, the kind of handle that was screwed and was not strong was pulled off by the two of us.
We looked at each other, and then we wheeled the stick and smashed it, our idea was simple, the door was not strong, it was almost rotten, and we tried to smash the door out.
At this time, Cao Hui suddenly shouted: "! How can there be two of these things?"
"I saw it earlier, so I told you to run out," I said lightly.
But what I didn't expect was that the thing lifted the stick and threw it at the boy.
This paper figure was "cut in half" by him with a stick, and he was also taken out four or five meters away by his stick.
I saw where the paper figure was standing before, and there were some strange symbols painted on the wall with bright red "paint", more like a kind of text.
Cao Hui asked, "What is this?" ”
Thou hast asked me, 'How do I know?'
I was just about to scold him when the light bulb on the beam flickered on and off a few times before exploding with a bang.
Now we were in a hurry, this kind of environment was already frightening, and suddenly the lights exploded inexplicably, which completely plunged us into fear.
By the faint light of the moon, we spotted a weak partition on the door and smashed it down.
Sure enough, after a few hits, we really smashed a fist-sized hole.
I excitedly said to Cao Hui, "Yes, continue to smash"
When I saw that he ignored me and wanted to "encourage" him again, I saw him staring straight behind me.
I didn't think about it, I turned around and swung my stick behind me, and as soon as I turned around, I saw a black shadow rushing towards me, and I was hit by a stick.
I was afraid for a while, if I had slowed down, I would definitely be hit by this black shadow.
The black shadow was slammed far away by me with a stick, lying on the ground and convulsing.
By the moonlight, we could see that the black shadow was a black cat, staring at us with green eyes, struggling to get up on the ground.
From the time the cat appeared behind me to the time I knocked it away, it didn't bark once, just stared at it with two eyes.
Slowly, it struggled to its feet, arching its body, its tail standing straight behind it.
At this time, Cao Hui also came back to his senses, and the two of us raised their sticks, put on a good posture, and did not dare to rashly take the initiative to attack.
We were in a stalemate for a while, and the black cat slowly began to push forward.
I don't know how Cao Hui is, anyway, I'm nervous with my two hands clutching the stick.
Just as we were about to burst, we heard a loud shout from the courtyard.
"The Northern Emperor sent me paper, the book talisman to drive away ghosts and evils, and those who dared to have no subdues were escorted into Fengdu City. Haste as a law"
"Bang", the door behind my door seemed to be knocked open by something.
The black cat jumped up and ran over our heads towards the door.
At this time, the door recited again, "There is a golden light in my body, covering my body"
I saw that the black cat went fast and came back quickly, smashed on the table of the eight immortals in the living room, rolled down, motionless, and did not know life or death.
"Auntie? What are you doing here? ”
"Auntie?"
Cao Hui shouted with me.
"If I don't come again, you two little rabbit cubs will almost die" My aunt glanced at us, walked to the black cat by herself, picked it up with her hand, looked at it and said, "Ruthless enough"
We couldn't help but ask curiously
"Auntie, what's going on?"
My aunt turned around and said lightly, "Don't ask so much, you are still young, you will understand when you grow up"
After saying that, she walked out the door, and when she got to the door, she turned around and took out a wad of yellow paper from her pocket and handed it to me.
"You two divide these runes, remember the spell I just recited, and if you encounter this situation in the future, just chant the spell and throw the rune paper out."
After saying that, without waiting for me to respond, he shoved the rune paper into my hand and left.
I casually divided half of it and handed it to Cao Hui, and the two of us hurriedly followed.
As soon as we walked into the courtyard, we heard someone unlocking the gate at the gate, and after the door opened, Cao Gai's father came.
"Brother Xiang"
"Brother Xiang"
I greeted Cao Hui together.
He nodded to us and asked my aunt, "What's going on?" ”
"Let's talk about it later," my aunt said coldly and left.
"Let's go first, Brother Xiang," Cao Hui and the two of us also walked out after my aunt.
On the way, the two of us asked my aunt a lot of questions.
For example, are there really ghosts, demons, and fairies in this world?
Auntie, were you reciting the mantra of a Taoist priest just now?
Is the charm given to us the kind of charm on TV?
And what is that black cat?
My aunt kept going home, ignoring us, until she came to the door of the house, she said, "Go home and ask your parents"
After that, he went home and locked the door.
Cao Hui dropped me off at home and he also went home, and it seemed that he was also very curious and was going to go home and ask.
Not long after I got home, my parents came back, and as soon as they sat down, I was impatient to ask the previous question.
My mother's answer was "Your aunt is insane, you don't pay attention to her"
My dad pouted and laughed dryly, but he didn't speak.
I also think today's incident is quite mysterious, but I am a flower with nine years of compulsory education, how can I be so superstitious? .
I thought maybe my aunt was deliberately entertaining us, but something didn't make sense.
For example, why can't we open that door? And how did the lights turn on?
I thought I would have to wait until the next day to see Cao Hui and ask him what he was saying.
Sure enough, when I saw Cao Hui the next day, he said that his father also said that my aunt was deliberately scaring us.
I knew that no matter if it was true or not, I couldn't ask why it was no matter how much I asked, and then I slowly didn't take it seriously.
