"Knock, knock, knock!"

The knock on the door echoed in the dark room in the middle of the night, and the lights in the courtyard were on, but because I was afraid, I couldn't help but be afraid after the village chief and Liu Daxian left, and pulled the curtains tightly to death.

Feeling the darkness and slowly getting off the kang, my reason thinks that ghosts will not knock on the door, so it is likely that a villager or Zhao Shouquan is back outside, and the village chief said that Zhao Shouquan left a message before leaving, he will come back when his mother-in-law is out of the funeral, and it will be the day of the funeral after dawn.

I crept up to the window, plucked up the courage to open the gap in the curtain with my fingers, and looked out.

The knocking was gone, and there was no figure to be seen outside the door.

Is it gone?

I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to myself that it doesn't matter if it's a person or a ghost outside, as long as it doesn't hurt me, it's okay to go.

Suddenly, a miserable white woman's face appeared outside the glass in front of me, her long black hair draped over the sides of her cheeks, and a pair of blood-red eyes shining brightly, staring at me deadly!

I opened my mouth wide and couldn't even make a sound in horror.

The female ghost stretched out her white hand and looked at me while knocking on the window mechanically, "Bang, bang, bang!" She and I were face to face, just across a thin layer of glass.

"Ahh

After a few seconds, my coagulated blood flowed again, and I fell to the ground with a scream, and the curtains covered her face, and I desperately moved my ass backwards, and the female ghost outside the window was still banging on the window, and the sound haunted my mind like a funeral song, destroying my almost broken spirit.

I took out the life talisman given to me by Liu Daxian from my arms with trembling hands, my palms were full of sweat, and I stood up slowly against the wall, my legs were as soft as cotton, and I couldn't use my strength at all.

When faced with extreme fear, people often choose to fight to the death.

I'm like this at the moment, my broken nerves are like a bow that may break at any time, and if I don't move anymore, I won't be killed by a female ghost, and I'll be scared to death.

Thinking of Xiao Si's death during the day, I felt a wave of anger in my heart, stomped my numb feet hard, gritted my teeth and walked out of the room to the door, and pulled the door open!

"Grandma's! I'm fighting with you! ”

I shouted and rushed out of the door and went straight to the window, and the female ghost who was banging by the window turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw me stretching out my white hand, waving it wildly, and constantly backing away.

I thought that the female ghost was afraid of the talisman in my hand, and under the bright lights on the eaves, I looked closely and found that in front of me was a little girl in a tattered black robe.

She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, her hair was scattered on the sides of her cheeks, her flesh was emaciated, her eyes were bloodshot, she looked at me in horror, and her hands were waving.

"Who are you?" I was careful to guard against it.

The little girl danced her hands, her mouth open, but she could only make a "ah-ba, ah-ba" sound.

She's a mute.

"Can't speak?"

The little girl nodded desperately.

I looked at her, and then at the coffin in the courtyard, which was still the same as when the village chief and Liu Daxian left, and my heart was a little relaxed.

In the middle of the night, what is this little girl doing at my house? And she doesn't look like a person from the village, I've never seen her before.

"You're here for someone? Or what? ”

The mute little girl gnawed her fingers in a thinking motion, and then her eyes lit up, and her fingers were clenched in the air and gestured, slightly excited.

"You want to write?"

She nodded again.

I didn't want to stay in the yard any longer, for I was sure when the contents of the coffin would come back, so I opened the door and led the little girl into the house, turned on the light, and brought her paper and a pen.

The little girl excitedly took the pen and squatted on the side of the kang to start writing, I wanted to see what she wrote, who knew that she was only wearing a black robe, the neckline was very large, she bent over, the light leaked out of the round, white breasts, I suddenly felt the blood surge.

"Ahh

The little girl picked up the paper and handed it to me, and I quickly withdrew my gaze, only to see her pointing at me and wiping her delicate little nose fiercely. I frowned and touched my nostrils, and when I found that my hands were covered in blood, my shame overcame my fear, and I quickly tore off the towel on the wall to wipe my nosebleed.

"I'm sorry."

The little girl didn't seem to understand what I was saying, and looked at me questioningly.

Of course, I couldn't tell her that it was because I saw her chest that I sprayed nosebleeds, and quickly shifted my attention to look at the white paper in my hand, her handwriting was beautiful, delicate and dignified, and well-behaved.

It reads: I'm coming to my sister.

"Your sister is in this village?"

She nodded.

"What's it called?"

She took the blank paper again and wrote: Yin Shu.

"I don't know."

The little girl leaked a disappointed expression, and her melancholy eyes actually made me feel a little distressed.

I said, "There are 100 households in the village, and I don't have much contact with them, so there are not many people I am familiar with. ”

She nodded.

"What's your name?"

She wrote: "Yin Yao. ”

......

I talked and wrote with her all night, and at dawn she curled up on my futon and fell asleep like a frightened kitten.

With her company, I also escaped from fear, and learned through the conversation that the mute girl was called Xiaoxiao, she and her sister were lost, and I heard that it was in our village, so I walked alone from the far away "Lingshui Village", and when I saw that my house was open and the lights were on, I wanted to come in and ask.

I couldn't imagine how the mute had walked so far, covered her with a quilt, and leaned against the wall and looked at her quietly.

After pondering for a while, I thought of the talisman that Liu Daxian gave me, although it was very pitiful, it was really strange to appear at my house late at night, and after hesitation, I took out a talisman and pasted it on her shoulder.

Sensing my movements, she rolled over in a daze, rubbing her little eyes and looking at me.

I smiled awkwardly, "It's okay, go to sleep." ”

She yawned and fell asleep again, looking very sleepy.

I took off the rune paper and thought to myself that I was really dizzy, how could she be a ghost, how could a ghost be so cute!

In this way, I waited until dawn, and the ghost that Liu Daxian said never appeared, and after the rooster crowed, I left the house and went to the village chief's house, only to find that Liu Daxian and the village chief were already asleep.

I was so angry that I pushed them awake and scolded: "Why is my heart so big, I am at home to summon ghosts and exorcise gods, and you are sleeping here." ”

Liu Daxian opened his eyes and saw me, and said confusedly: "Who are you?" ”

"Hey, you're still playing dumb with me! I almost scared the hell to death last night, do you know? ”

The village chief also woke up, and when he saw that I was still alive, he hurriedly asked, "Did you catch that monster?" ”

"What to catch, there are no ghosts at all, but I was scared for a night, and I finally waited until dawn to come to you, and Liu Daxian asked me who I was!"

The village chief looked at Liu Daxian beside him, pulled me to the outhouse, and said, "Sanhuo, Liu Daxian doesn't seem to have a good memory. ”

"What?"

"When I went to look for him that day, I had already told him about the situation, but after he came, I forgot who died, and I still asked you to find out about Aunt Meng's death. I went home with him last night, but he insisted on asking me to call his wife over to scald the wine, his wife died two years ago, and I suspect that he may have Alzheimer's disease and his brain is not clear. ”

I pondered slightly, remembering that Liu Daxian had just asked me to go into the house last night to light the lamp, and then I followed up again, which was indeed a little strange.

"What then?"

The village chief said: "Now the main thing is to catch the monster in the coffin, our village can't die anymore, I found that although Liu Daxian is confused, but the matter of catching ghosts is not ambiguous, let's ask him." ”

I sighed, "That's all there is to it, nothing happened in the village last night, right?" ”

"Probably not, or I would have slept until now?"

"If nothing happens, let Liu Daxian do the ghost catch, I won't play with my life." As I spoke, I asked, "Village chief, what about my mother-in-law?" ”

The village chief squeezed his sleepy eyes, "I almost forgot, I will gather the people in the village to go to your house for a funeral in a while." ”

"Will they be willing to go?"

"If you don't go, you have to go! You Sanhuo was righteous last night, and you can't let your mother-in-law not even have a funeral. ”

This is the only thing that can make me happy, my mother-in-law raised me from childhood to adulthood, as long as she can leave with peace of mind, last night's fright will not be in vain.

In the morning, everyone in the village was greeted to my house by the village chief, and the four uncles carried the coffin of their mother-in-law to the cemetery in the east of the village, and the rest of the people followed.

Liu Daxian was at the forefront, his memory recovered after eating in the morning, and he didn't care about the coffin of the ancient tree in advance, and he happened to be the Mr. Yin and Yang of my mother-in-law's funeral.

I followed behind Liu Daxian in linen and filial piety, and kept throwing paper money.

Liu Daxian pinched a copper coin in front of him, and shouted to himself: "Today, the sky is clear and the clouds are gone, it is the time to enter the coffin; The filial son and grandson walk in front of the coffin, and the paper money is left for the deceased to spend; Yo, listen to my old man's thoughts, the door of the underworld is open and the ghosts are scattered.

A thought of the Jade Emperor of Haotian God descended on Long's grace and gave the old woman of the Xu family to go to heaven to be a fairy, and the gods of the Wenwu Constellation and the Sifang Gate made way for him, and the good people were favored by heaven during his lifetime.

Ernian Difu Ten Palaces Yama King through human affection, give the old woman of the Xu family a bowl of Meng Po soup, what sorrows, joys, sorrows, sorrows, and pains are all gone, and enjoy the source of joy and happiness in the next life.

Three thoughts of the family members in the world to do their filial piety, leave a few tears in front of the grave of the old woman of the Xu family, bless the family with prosperity, wealth and prosperity for a lifetime, and the incense continues to extend for hundreds of generations......"

Listening to Liu Daxian's cold howl, I couldn't help crying, and tears followed me all the way to the cemetery.

The grave has been dug by the villagers in advance, according to the number of rites, I personally smashed the nine nails on the coffin to death, knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed three times, shouting "Mother-in-law, you are optimistic, you have to take the southwest road!" ”

The coffin was placed in the grave, and after I filled the first handful of soil with my own hands, I handed over the rest to the other villagers.

I knelt in front of the grave, the villagers filled the coffin, and Liu Daxian was still reading the words of the funeral.

At this moment, a shrill voice came from the side.

"What's the use of doing this, the paper burned in front of the grave and the ground is black, I don't know if the dead will get (dei)!"
