Chapter 7: The Man in the Coffin
The nerves that I had been about to be scared in the past few days were touched again, staring at the blind girl in front of me with wide eyes, and kept arching my ass backwards, and the muddy water poured into my ass along the waistband of my pants, and I glanced back, damn, I almost fell into the river!
The blind girl's head slowly turned to me, and the rotten flesh in her eyes seemed to be squeezing with her expression, and she said softly, "Who are you?" ”
Her crisp voice pulled me back from my fear to reality, and I swallowed and spit, "I'm from the village, where are you?" ”
"I... I do not know. She seemed to be sobbing, "Can you help me?" I didn't dare move. ”
Seeing that she wasn't a ghost, my heart slowed down slightly, this time I was really scared out of the problem, obviously one person can scare me like this, it's really unmasculine. I got up slowly, my butt was already soaked with muddy water, and it was very sticky, and I cautiously approached her side and held her arm.
"Don't go forward, that's Jiang, come, I'll take you back to the village and let the village chief help you ......"
As I tried not to speak to her, a tremendous force grabbed both of my arms, and when I turned around, blood splattered from her disgusting eyes, bared her teeth, and pulled me to her side!
"What are you doing?"
Before I could finish speaking, I felt a pain in my eyes, and it was her blood that collapsed into my eyes.
I tried desperately to struggle, and the pain in my eyes became more and more intense, but my hands were choked by her, and I could only wail and see nothing.
"Give it back! That's my eyes! ”
She roared, the beastly voice pierced my eardrums, and then I felt my hands suddenly loosen, and the inertia of my struggling body fell backwards, and I instantly felt that my body was surrounded by endless water, my nose and mouth were filled with river water, and a mouthful of water almost choked me to death, and my mind was buzzing, and I fainted.
......
When I woke up again, I was back at home, and the familiar scene made me feel like a dream by the river, and the blind woman and her cries still echoed in my ears, and my head was buzzing.
Zhao Shouquan stood by the kang, looking at me with a gloomy face, his feet were full of cigarette butts, and the small room was a little choked by the smell of smoke.
I stretched out my hand and fanned in front of me, and after asking him, I learned that it was the villagers who were washing clothes by the river who saw me floating down from the upper reaches of the river, and then picked me up and sent it home.
I rubbed my eyes, it didn't hurt anymore, my wet clothes were taken off, I was only wearing a pair of underwear, and I hurriedly wrapped the quilt tightly and told Zhao Shouquan what happened by the river.
Zhao Shouquan listened to my words in silence, stood up and walked to the cabinet, took a small mirror and handed it to me.
I paused, "What?" ”
"See for yourself." He said solemnly.
I thought to myself what was wrong with this person, and then I lifted the mirror to look at myself, only to see that my eyes had turned gray, and the whole eyeball was gray, without any pupils and black, and it looked like a zombie in a movie!
"What a play!" I jerked the mirror out!
"Smack!"
The mirror shattered to the ground.
Zhao Shouquan said: "The girl you met is not a person. ”
"Fuck!" I exclaimed, "How could my eyes be like this, what the hell is this!" ”
Zhao Shouquan stared at me indifferently, "What are you shouting, aren't you blind, aren't you okay now?" ”
"Huh?"
I blinked, and indeed, although my eyes became horribly ugly, I could still see everything around me as usual...... Wait a minute! I could indeed see "everything" around me, not only Zhao Shouquan in front of me, but also the cabinet on my side, behind me, and even the tile lamp above my head - provided my head didn't turn at all!
"What's going on?" I asked, surprised.
Zhao Shouquan looked at me with disdain, he always looked arrogant, "There are four eyes in the world, the naked eye, the heavenly eye, the spiritual eye, and the Taoist eye, and there are many more kinds of Buddhism, which are called: the naked eye, the heavenly eye, the wisdom eye, the Dharma eye and the Buddha's eye."
In addition to this, there are two types of eyes, which are called Shura Eyes and Witch Eyes.
Shura can't see people, see ghosts, see gods, and are extremely murderous, generally growing away from their eyes elsewhere in the body, and each Shura eye has different abilities, such as Erlang God and Wen Zhong in ancient Chinese legends, or Medusa in Greek mythology.
And the witch eye is more special, it is the three worlds of heaven, earth and man, and it is somewhat similar to the yin and yang eyes that ordinary people have heard of, and they are basically innate. The witch's eyes see space, see time, understand people's hearts, and debate the truth and falsehood, but there are only a few words recorded in ancient books about this kind of eye, which is said to be a special profession that must be possessed in ancient times. ”
I was a little confused and asked, "What do you mean, am I a Shura Eye or a Witch Eye?" ”
"I've never seen anything like you, but it looks a little like the legendary Witch's Eye."
"Uh... It's pretty awesome to hear from you, but I don't feel like there's much change, at most I can see the back of my head. I joked, "If you say these eyes are natural, why do I have them now?" ”
Zhao Shouquan frowned and said: "What you encountered should be the corpse in the coffin of Yin Huai, she led you to the river, the purpose should be to kill you and take away your eyes, but I didn't expect you to survive, the Guping River is turbulent, and it is a big fate for you to fall in and come out intact." ”
I remember the girl... No, the female ghost's roar couldn't help but moan, "She said that my eyes are hers." ”
Zhao Shouquan rubbed his chin, "I'm afraid I won't know until I catch her, but I think what she said is very likely to be true, the witch eye is born, you haven't changed for so many years, maybe you borrowed her eyes." ”
I can't accept the fact that I have lived through the eyes of a female ghost since I was a child, but the matter is in front of me, and I can't find a reason to refute it.
I glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already one o'clock in the morning, for some reason there was a strong wind outside, the windows were crackling, Zhao Shouquan and I were sitting in the room, and after a while, I couldn't bear the cold and put the dried clothes on my body.
This guy doesn't know how to burn the kang!
I cursed silently in my heart, went to the outhouse and lit the fire, and soon the house was warm.
Just as I was returning to the house after my busy work, I found Zhao Shouquan standing by the window looking out, looking back at the clock on the wall from time to time, and muttering, "I should be back, is the temptation not big enough?" ”
"Who's coming back?"
"The banshee who snatched your eyes!"
"Banshee?" I thought of the blind woman by the river and asked, "Did she run away?" ”
Zhao Shouquan shook his head and said, "I have asked Liu Daxian to set up a magic circle on the periphery of the village, and she can't run out." ”
"And what if she doesn't come back?"
As soon as my words fell, suddenly there was a terrible scream from the courtyard, and Zhao Shouquan shouted "Succeeded", and then hurriedly grabbed his wooden box and ran out of the house.
I hurriedly followed him, and as soon as I got out of the house, I saw that the lid of the coffin was shaking violently, Liu Daxian jumped down from the wall and smashed it on the coffin, took out a few talismans and quickly pasted them, the wind blew through the charms, fluttering and tearing, but it just didn't fall from the coffin.
Zhao Shouquan grinned, and there was an evil feeling, and said to Liu Daxian: "Come down, thank you very much." ”
The wind blew Liu Daxian's white hair, and he said with joy on his face: "This time I finally saved my reputation." ”
I stared at the coffin blankly, with an indescribable feeling, and asked, "What now?" Are you going to burn the coffin? ”
"Don't worry, let's see who she is!"
Zhao Shouquan bit his finger and quickly drew some kind of charm on the coffin board, and in an instant, the blood turned into gold and flashed, and the coffin began to shake violently!
I subconsciously took two steps back, for fear that the banshee would rush out of the coffin.
A few seconds later, there was no movement in the coffin, Zhao Shouquan twitched the corner of his mouth, picked up a cigarette and slowly lit it, and the wind blew sparks flying. He motioned to Liu Daxian, and the two of them slowly lifted the coffin board, and just as I was about to lean forward to see what kind of ghost was inside, Liu Daxian suddenly screamed and let go of his hand!
The coffin board fell to the ground, and I stepped forward, and inside the coffin was a very familiar face - my mother-in-law!
"How so!" I exclaimed.
Zhao Shouquan also frowned, snorted his cigarette fiercely, and said nothing.
At this time, the figure of the village chief appeared at the door of the house, he walked towards us with food, and when he saw his mother-in-law in the coffin, he raised his head in astonishment and glanced at us.
"Yes, is it Aunt Meng? Isn't she already buried in the grave? ”
This is not only what he wants to ask, I'm afraid that each of us doesn't know what's going on in our hearts, Zhao Shouquan told me that inside the coffin was the banshee I saw by the river, but now the person in front of me is my relative, could it be that it was my mother-in-law who killed Xiaosi?
If so, who is buried in the grave?
I felt dizzy and couldn't accept the facts in front of me, Zhao Shouquan was silent for a while, then summoned Liu Daxian to buckle the coffin board again, and led me back to the house in a daze.
And then we found out that the village chief had left.
Zhao Shouquan sat in the corner of the room, his brows furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking, while Liu Daxian sat next to me, and the whole person seemed to have aged a lot.
All three of us were silent, and it seemed as if the world was distorted.
