When the old woman learned that I was asking for directions, she was immediately relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a little reproach: "You are really a child, and you don't pick a way to ask for directions, don't you see me burning paper to send ghosts?"

I smiled bitterly and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, old man, I'm really in a hurry." ”

The old woman waved her hand at me and said, "I will continue to burn paper to send ghosts, you should stand behind me first, so that the ghosts will not haunt you." ”

I had to jump behind the old woman, and watched her continue to burn paper with a solemn face, but my heart was so anxious. However, I am in a hurry, I know this custom, and I dare not speak anymore, so I can only wait patiently for her to finish the ghost sending program.

After about five minutes, the old woman finally burned the paper money, and kowtowed to the ground three more times, and then she hurriedly stood up, pushed me, and whispered, "Hurry up." ”

I hurried forward, and saw the old woman scattering a handful of rice behind me as she walked, muttering something softly. Then his face urged me to go quickly.

But I didn't see any ghosts, and of course I couldn't tell the old woman.

We soon ran into the village, and the old woman stopped with relief and stood on the ground gasping for breath.

I hurriedly asked, "Old man, what kind of place is this, is it far from the city?"

The old woman said solemnly: "This is Panshan Village, not far from Chongqing. However, this black light is blinding, and today is a Halloween Festival, and ghosts are being sent everywhere. In two hours, the door will be opened. You're running around alone, beware of ghosts. ”

Sure enough, it was the village where Daoist Yang was, and I felt quite uneasy when I thought of Daoist Yang dying in the mountains. I was also quite touched by the kindness of the old woman, it was only two hours, and I didn't want to waste time by nagging her, so I quickly calculated it in my heart. It is indeed not too far from the city, but it is more than 200 kilometers away from the Lin family's cottage, and it is already night, there is no shuttle bus at all, even if there is, the time is not enough, I must rush back to the Lin family before late at night.

Without further ado, I had to trouble my uncle to drive me back overnight.

For this reason, I hurriedly said to the old woman, "Old man, do you have a telephone? Can you lend me a phone, and I will call home and ask them to pick me up." ”

The old woman was also enthusiastic, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I have a phone at home, come with me." ”

I hurriedly followed the old woman to her house, called my uncle for help, told him where I was, asked him to drive to pick me up immediately, and then sent me back to the Lin family cottage.

After getting in touch with my uncle, I breathed a sigh of relief and called Lin's house again, wanting to get in touch with my grandfather first. Who knows, the phone is a busy signal, and I can't get through. A bad premonition suddenly hit my heart.

I had no choice but to rush back as quickly as possible.

I thanked the old woman and asked about the road outside the village, so I said goodbye to their family and went to the road outside the village to wait for my uncle to drive me to pick me up.

Fortunately, after waiting for about half an hour, my uncle picked me up, and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Ignoring my uncle's surprised gaze, as soon as I jumped into the car, I urged him to hurry up and drive to Lin's house, as fast as I could.

My uncle expected that something was wrong from my anxious expression, but he didn't ask too much, and hurriedly drove in the direction of the Lin family's cottage.

The car was soon on the highway, and looking out the window at the night, I was still anxious, but my mind finally calmed down a little. Because, I know, in this situation, it's useless to be anxious.

When my uncle saw that I was in a stable mood, he tentatively asked me about my situation, and I told him roughly.

The uncle asked and said, "Lin Han, it is impossible for us to rush to the Lin family's cottage before the time of the child." ”

I sighed helplessly and said, "I know, no matter what, we have to try to catch up." ”

When my uncle learned about the situation, he naturally knew the stakes, so his expression became solemn, so he stopped talking and increased his speed again.

I secretly prayed in my heart, I could only depend on luck, hoping that Yang Rui would be okay under the protection of my grandfather and that I could wait until I rushed back.

After all, it was too far away, although my uncle drove at full speed, we also had a smooth journey, and when we arrived on the road outside the cottage, it was close to two o'clock in the morning, and the hour had passed. When I got here, the car couldn't drive in, so I had to hike, and there was still about half an hour of mountain road.

The rest of the road can only be walked by myself, and I don't want my uncle to be in danger, so I don't let him go into the cottage with me. My uncle also knew what was at stake, so he naturally obeyed my arrangement, and he hurriedly said a few words of advice, and then said goodbye to me nervously.

Although it has passed, I still hope that there will be a miracle, and I don't care about the danger of the road in the dark, so I trotted all the way to the Lin family's cottage.

It was originally half an hour's journey, but it only took me ten minutes, and the cottage appeared in front of me, with faint lights shining inside, quite quiet, not like there had been an accident.

I had an inexplicable feeling of disbelief, and I didn't think much about it, so I quickened my pace more and more, and ran quickly towards the cottage.

I ran straight to my grandfather's yard, and when I got to the door, I saw my grandfather's big black dog lying under the pyre outside the courtyard wall, looking at me silently, with a dark light of fear in his eyes, as if he was frightened by something.

I know that dogs can see ghosts, especially pure black dogs. Seeing that it looked frightened, my heart suddenly tightened, and a bad feeling suddenly popped up in my heart, ignoring this big black dog who always likes to play close to me, and hurriedly stepped into the courtyard gate, and shouted at grandpa inside.

However, my grandfather did not answer me, and there was still a dead silence in the courtyard, and there was no sound.

My heart suddenly tightened, and the strange thing was that in the entire courtyard, only one room on the second floor of the back house was lit, and that was the room where Yang Rui lived. And the room of grandpa and grandma turned out to be dark. That's not normal.

I didn't bother to go to my grandfather's room, so I quickly went straight to Yang Rui's room.

However, Yang Rui's room was empty, where was Yang Rui's figure? However, the room was very tidy, and it didn't look like there had been a fight.

Yang Rui was not in the room, so I naturally didn't dare to delay, so I went to find my grandfather again. However, I searched all the rooms in my grandfather's yard and found no grandfather and grandmother. Strangely, the whole yard is still very tidy, no different from before. It feels like they're just out and about.

However, at this time, I naturally would not be naïve to think that they were really out.
