Chapter 34: You're Next
"Damn!"
Ma Jialiang was the least daring, and stepped back in fright, sitting on the ground. Ma Yong also trembled, and the iron rod in his hand almost fell to the ground. Although I was prepared, I was scared enough.
We chased all the way so far, and we actually chased a paper car and two paper people?
And these two paper figures bumped into Li Ying and stole Gao Xiaolong's things?
How is this possible?
They are definitely not paper figures, but evil!
"Run!"
Ma Jialiang was frightened and panicked, and stumbled and ran outside.
"Let's go!"
Ma Yong couldn't stand it, no matter how bold he was, he was also bold with the living, and now when he encountered this kind of thing, he couldn't help but retreat.
As soon as they left, the courage I had managed to muster disappeared. The three of them rushed out of the valley in a hurry, and when they got on the tricycle, they went crazy on the road.
Ma Jialiang was frightened, and kept urging Ma Yong to ride quickly. Ma Yong was also scared enough, basically did not slow down, and almost didn't overturn the car several times.
It wasn't until after returning to Hong Village that the three of us were shocked, and Ma Jialiang said, "That thing, it shouldn't be a paper ghost, right?" ”
When I was a child, I would talk about paper people and ghosts when I listened to ghost stories told by the old people in the village, and when I grew up, I also read "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", which is easy to relate.
"God knows." Ma Yong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Why don't we go find Uncle Jiu, what if these two things come back to take revenge on us?" ”
"You, don't scare me." When Ma Jialiang heard this, his legs trembled.
I shook my head, smiled and comforted them, "Don't worry, it's okay, if they really have the ability to deal with us, will they still be chased by us?" I'm afraid it's time to do something to us on the way back. ”
Although I don't know what Hongcun has, I only know one thing, Hongcun is safe, which has been mentioned more than once by the leather-clothed guest, and even Chen Jiutong and Wong Tai Sin have vaguely said it.
"It seems to make sense." Ma Yong listened to me, nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Ma Jialiang was still afraid, and said, "No, I have to go to Uncle Jiu to get something to ward off evil spirits." After saying that, he hurriedly ran to Chen Jiutong's house.
If Hongcun wants to say that he is a knowledgeable person, I am afraid it will be Chen Jiutong, the coffin bearer.
Ma Yong also wanted to go, so he asked me if I wanted to go.
I thought about it for a moment and shook my head, there is a black tiger and a big rooster with a reed flower, and there is no need for those evil things.
……
On this day, as I thought, nothing happened at all, but Ma Yong and Ma Jialiang were worried about it the next day and didn't sleep all night.
Ma Jialiang also said that I have a good psychological quality, and I can still sleep when I encounter such an evil family.
I smiled bitterly, I encountered more than just yesterday's evil things, one by one, and I still think it is vivid.
During this period, I also told the leather coat about the paper man paper car, and he asked me if I had moved the paper man paper car, and I said no, and he said that fortunately it was not moved, otherwise the two things would be entangled.
I was terrified, but luckily the three of them ran away, or I might have burned the thing.
Later, I asked what it was, and the leather-clad man said that it was a kind of sorcery, and that this paper man paper car was a carrier of sorcery, and that it was not too powerful, as long as you were careful not to fall for its tricks, it would be fine.
After many days, it was calm, and nothing strange happened, which made me have the illusion that the strange incident in Hongcun was about to pass.
Until, this month's full moon ......
Both the leather-clad and the cat hero have said that the fox will become invulnerable on a full moon night, and it will be very difficult to deal with, so I dare not be careless. So that night, around the store, he carefully sprinkled the glutinous rice soaked in the boy's urine, served the black tiger and the big rooster of the reed flower, and served the door god before closing the door door.
But what I didn't expect was that I was scared all night, and as soon as I went out in the morning, something big happened in the village.
"Brother Chun!"
Ma Jialiang ran over to me with a panicked face and said, "Uncle Chai said that he saw Hai Meirong come back last night. ”
I was shocked, Hong Qingsheng's wife, who died a long time ago, is back, can it still be a human being?
I hurriedly ran to Uncle Chai's house with Ma Jialiang, and when I went, there were already a lot of people outside, and the village chief Ma Yongde also just arrived, and when I saw Uncle Chai, I asked: "Uncle Chai, you haven't seen dazzling, this kind of thing can't be a joke." ”
"Can I lie?"
Uncle Chai paused with crutches angrily, pointed at Ma Yongde and said, "Old man, I have never lied in my life, and Hai Meirong not only came back, but also talked to me." ”
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers completely blew up, and many people should not be frightened. The affairs of Hong Qingsheng's family are inherently evil, and since Hai Meirong's death, strange things have been happening, and it is enough to infiltrate people when you think about it.
Ma Yongde's face changed, and he asked Hai Meirong what he said again.
Old Uncle Chai paused, shook his head and said, "She said she came back to look for the child." ”
As soon as I heard this, my head exploded, and Hai Meirong's child had disappeared since she fell into the well, and in the end, she didn't even find the body.
The onlookers had various theories, but the vast majority of them still thought that Uncle Chai was dazzled or confused.
Hai Meirong has been dead for so long, and if she wants to return to her soul, she will already return on the first seven days, so why wait until last night to come back? Moreover, although the child was not found after falling into the water, it was basically impossible for him to be alive.
A revenant, looking for what child?
But when the time came the next day, no one dared to speak anymore.
Uncle Chai is dead!!
As he lay on his own bed, his cloudy eyes widened, and he didn't know what he saw before he died, his dog barked all night.
When I heard the news, my heart was also up and down, the pinch didn't appear, but the dead Hai Meirong came back, and the waves of unsettled waves rose again, Hongcun finally quieted for a while, and the people who made trouble became panicked.
My intuition tells me that something is going to happen recently, and Uncle Chai's death is just the beginning.
In the morning, the leather coat came to Hongcun, and I didn't have time to tell him before, and I didn't know where he got the news.
After looking at Uncle Chai's corpse, he said that he had a stroke, and the cerebral infarction caused cerebral nerve paralysis and menstrual bleeding, so he stared wide.
His statement made me a little suspicious, but the leather-clothed guest was a knowledgeable person, and the villagers were relieved to say this, and the big guy began to discuss the future affairs for Uncle Chai.
After that, the leather coat left again, he just left with the front foot, Chen Jiutong arrived with the back foot, and after seeing the corpse of Uncle Chai, he didn't say anything, and beckoned everyone to prepare a coffin shroud for the deceased to be buried.
After Uncle Chai was buried, Chen Jiutong quietly told me that Uncle Chai was scared to death by something!
I was taken aback and said, didn't I say that it was a cerebral infarction and stroke?
How do you know that Chen Jiutong said to me seriously: "I didn't say it before, I was afraid of scaring you and the villagers in the village, you can't trust the leather clothes too much." ”
I'm suffocated, a lot of things have happened recently, and I have begun to gradually trust the leather coat in my heart, and I will tell him a lot of incomprehensible things, but Chen Jiu has been estranged from this side.
However, I still believe in Chen Jiutong's judgment on the death of Uncle Chai, because the statement of the leather coat can't explain Uncle Chai's statement that he saw Hai Meirong come back.
Other people may lie, but I don't think Uncle Chai will not, he is a person who came over in the Republic of China era, he has experienced any turmoil and storms, he has read books, is sensible, and he can't lie about the Hong family.
"So, what do we do?"
The obvious suspicion of a person who was almost trusted suddenly overwhelmed me a little. At this time, I realized that I was really a weak person, with a psychology of wanting to rely on.
Indeed, there are really a lot of doubts in the leather coat, and I don't know if it's a psychological need for a sense of security for this period of time, so I deliberately don't think about the doubts in him.
To say that it is serious is to deceive oneself.
After Chen Jiutong said this, I was really a little shaken.
"Now our priority is to find Jaime Rong's coffin, you know where it is, right?" Chen Jiutong stared at me with sparkling eyes.
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, only I and the leather-clad man knew about it, and I didn't tell the third person all the time, everyone thought that Jaime Rong's coffin had floated away, but it wasn't, the coffin was taken upstream by the ghost ray to the cold water stream.
Chen Jiutong was a little angry when he saw that I didn't speak, and said seriously: "Xiaochun, you have to understand one thing, the leather coat is not from our Hong Village, and it has nothing to do with him even if our village dies in the future, he has an ulterior secret here, you can't trust him." Mei Rong's coffin didn't float away at all, right? ”
I didn't know what to do, and I was a little weak when I was stared at by Chen Jiutong, so I slowly told me about the coffin of Hai Meirong being carried by ghost rays to the upper reaches of Lengshui Creek.
Compared with the leather coater, Chen Jiutong, who has been with each other for more than 20 years, is more worthy of trust, at least, it doesn't hurt to tell him about it.
If the leather-clothed guest really has any ulterior secrets, he knows more about being prepared, they are all from Hongcun, and they can't harm their fellow villagers.
"Ghost ray?!"
Chen Jiutong's eyes shone brightly, I don't know if it was an illusion, I felt that he seemed to smile when he heard the word "ghost ray", and it disappeared in a flash, and he didn't have time to see it clearly.
"That's right."
Chen Jiutong pondered for a while, nodded slowly, and said to me: "In this way, tomorrow we will go to the upper reaches of Lengshui Creek to find it, and we must find Hai Meirong's coffin, otherwise the trickery in Hongcun will be endless." ”
As soon as I heard it, my heart beat a drum, and I instinctively didn't want to go, that ghost ray was so scary, the coffin had already been carried away by it, how could it still be found. The most important thing is that Hai Meirong's coffin has undergone a change before she is carried away, and something inside is pulling the coffin lid, as if she wants to come out of it.
What if you find it, open the coffin?
How do you know that Chen Jiu's same sentence completely dispelled my idea of retreating, and he said: "If it is not solved as soon as possible, you may be the next person to have an accident." ”
