The night was fine, and the female ghost didn't come tonight, but I seemed to be stunned, and the shrill laughter of the hanged ghost always sounded in my ears.

I couldn't fall asleep lying on the kang, and I thought it was strange to think back to what happened during the day, that flat-headed boy was a fairy? Last time he didn't seem to be hostile to Master, why did he look at Master today as if he was about to burst into flames? Why did the gods play tricks on me, what did he do to the second sister? Did the second sister also see a female ghost last night? There were so many questions churning in my little head, and I fell asleep thinking about it.

Early in the morning, the master came to say goodbye, and he had a grand wish to build a Taoist temple with his own hands in his lifetime.

Over the years, he had raised a sum of money from all over the world, and on his way back he passed through here, and because of my family's business, he stopped for a few days, and he said that it had been too long here, and he had to hurry back to start building the temple.

Lu Youcai said, it's good that this old way doesn't come, there are so many unlucky things at home as soon as he comes.

Dad said to stroke Lu Youcai's head and said, Youcai, don't look down on this chief, he also saved your father's life back then!

When the master was leaving, he handed me an old copy of the Tao Te Ching and a few talismans, and told me to hurry up and read quickly, he would write to me, and after I was four years old, I should pinch the meridian every day, and I must not be distracted when meditating.

He stroked his beard and asked me to call Master to him a few more times, but I didn't, he sighed, arched his hand to everyone, and turned to leave.

When he was far away, I suddenly felt reluctant to let him go, and shouted, "Master!"

Master turned his head and smiled at me, his voice seemed to be in his ears, "Fulu, you must practice the method I taught you well, don't embarrass your teacher, I will pick you up in five years!" I nodded heavily with tears in my eyes.

The old lady next door has been having nightmares all day since her daughter hanged herself, and when she met people, she said that her daughter was covered with white hair, and she wanted to strangle her with green fangs.

After a long time, the neighbors said that she was crazy, and her wife saw that she was crazy all day, so she had to be sent to a mental hospital.

I heard that as soon as she was admitted to the hospital, a patient in the same ward bit off her finger that pointed at the Bodhisattva and swallowed it directly in front of her.

And her son, because he was not doing his job properly, was idle, and gathered together with the ruffians in the village all day long, and was finally arrested by the public security organs for attempted robbery, and he thought that it was also retribution, and a few days ago he overthrew the statue of the Bodhisattva, and soon he was imprisoned.

Coincidentally, the prison guard he was serving in prison was the head of the Kuomintang government before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he was ruthless, and the old lady's son fell into trouble with him as soon as he was imprisoned.

Originally, he could see the light of day again after a few years in prison, but he was still restless in prison, and the crime of a death lawsuit was added to the first degree, and he was sentenced to be shot by the government.

On the day he was shot, the people in the village went to the town to watch, and it is said that he was not killed by a single shot, and his tongue and the back of his head were shattered, but his brain was not injured, and he lay on the ground struggling.

"Cuihua, did you see the letter from your eldest sister a few days ago?" Dad asked the second sister, and the second sister pointed to the drawer of the cabinet.

Dad looked through two letters sent by the eldest sister more than ten days ago, opened them, and his face turned pale.

"Youcai, you are older than Cuihua and Fulu, uncle wants to go back to Jiyang quickly, there is a little trouble at home, and I will leave it to you here." Dad frowned tightly and said to Lu Youcai.

Liu Guifen, the aunt of the Lu family, came back, and when she saw that her father was not there, she took care of the lives of several of us.

When I first met Aunt Lu, I felt very kind, that kind of cordiality from the heart, which cannot be expressed in words, as if I had known each other in my previous life.

I like to eat Aunt Lu's steamed white steamed buns and meat-stuffed buns, and I refuse to stop every time I can't bend down to eat.

The next-door neighbor's Fuzi has been very bold lately, and when we roasted rabbits and pheasants in the yard, he did not hide timidly on the wall and peep as before, but sat on the wall blatantly and looked into the courtyard.

Lu Youcai hid under the wall again, and suddenly jumped out to scare him when he hadn't climbed the wall yet, and scared him into crying, but the next day, his half-pulled head appeared on the wall again and peeked into my yard, and it was really a dog who couldn't change that.

However, since there was a funeral next door, watching the lively and gossiping, the neighbors are indispensable to move around, and they are familiar with each other.

When Aunt Lu came back, the funeral in the courtyard next door had already been completed, and the tenants in that courtyard were unlucky and moved away, leaving only a croquette family that felt that the rent was cheap and did not move out.

The nature of a woman drove her to join the team of chattering and chattering as well.

Aunt Lu said that the girl next door was very good at chatting, and she often came to our hospital after dinner to find Aunt Lu to gossip.

Aunt Lu said that the girl was only seven years old, but she didn't expect the children to be five years old, so she really couldn't see it.

Lu Youcai said, Mom, you can pull it down, that child is her brother.

I really don't remember the mantras and fingerings that Master taught me, if I hadn't gone to Lu Youcai's house and saw Uncle Lu's tablet, I'm afraid I would have forgotten all the Sanqing Patriarch and Lu Zu Qiu Zu that Master asked me to remember.

The second sister went out to play with her classmates this afternoon, and after a short time out, she hurriedly ran home in a hurry.

I grilled fish in the yard with Youcai, and I didn't see the Fuzi next door climbing the wall to peep for a day, Lu Youcai said, this kid is really good today, and he hasn't looked in our yard for a day.

Before dinner was ready, I saw Fuzi and his sister next door hurriedly entering the door of my house.

Aunt Lu said: "It's still early today, I haven't eaten, I haven't eaten here, I'm ...... today."

The girl didn't wait for Aunt Lu to finish speaking, and then asked anxiously, "Sister, have you seen my family's Fuzi?"

Aunt Lu replied no.

The girl didn't give up, so she went into the house and asked us a few of us one by one, but the answer she got was that she didn't see it.

When asked about the second sister, the second sister hesitated and said she didn't see it.

Aunt Lu said, sister, don't worry, look for it again, maybe you are going out to play?

The girl said, impossible, recently Jinping County opened a big set, I go with my dad every day to help, my brother is very honest at home alone, don't cry or make trouble, he is not a child who loves to run around, the door of the house is also locked, even if you want to go out to play, you can't go out!

Aunt Lu took off her apron, wiped her hands, and asked us to eat first, and if we didn't come back too late, we would go to bed first. Then he followed the girl out the door to look for Fuzi.

The clock hand on the wall has pointed to 10, Aunt Lu has not come back, Lu Youcai's house has already sounded snoring, and I am somewhat sleepy, but the second sister is in a daze with her eyes open.

"Second sister, why don't you sleep yet?" I asked the second sister.

The second sister said that she couldn't sleep, I asked the second sister why she couldn't sleep, the second sister glanced at me, and whispered: "I saw the child in the afternoon, he was dragged by the hanged ghost to the big pit at the mouth of the alley, I looked scared and ran home." ”

I was shocked, it was a hanged man again!

The second sister said that she didn't dare to say it, it was best if the child was fine, once something happened, others should think that she killed the child!

The big pit that the second sister said is relatively common in the village, there are about twenty or thirty large and small, and people's household sewage is poured there, and there is such a big cement pit at the mouth of the alley on the side of every street.

The edge of the pit is fenced off by an iron fence to prevent anyone from falling into it, and every time the pit is full, someone opens the sluice gate under the puddle to drain the sewage.

Fortunately in winter, most of the sewage poured into it will form thick ice overnight, and in summer, no one dares to touch it, and the smell of sun exposure is really unbearable.

After the village built a sewer for every house last year, people almost stopped pouring water into the pit.

In the middle of the night, the silence of the night was broken by a howl, and the dogs in the village barked, and I was awakened at once, thinking that the female ghost had come again, and I could not help but tremble.

The second sister didn't seem to be asleep yet, and after hearing the sound, she quickly moved to the kang and turned on the light.

The sudden onning of the light made the eyes accustomed to darkness slightly uncomfortable, and the second sister and I rubbed our sleepy eyes and looked at each other, and I was puzzled to ask the second sister why she turned on the light.

The movement outside was getting closer and closer, and I leaned on the window to listen carefully, and it was dark outside, only a few flashlights appeared and disappeared near the gate.

There seemed to be a lot of people outside, and the heavy footsteps stopped abruptly when they reached the next door, and the wailing like a wolf's cry made people shudder in the dark night.

The iron door of the house seemed to be rusted, and there was a dull sound when it was pushed open.

Aunt Lu ran into the house, saw that we were all awake, and urged us to go to bed quickly.

The second sister's voice was slightly hoarse, she asked Aunt Lu what was the matter, did the child find it, Aunt Lu said that she found it, you go to bed quickly.

The next morning, I was still asleep under the covers, and Lu Youcai, who returned from morning reading, woke me up.

Lu Youcai is nine years older than me, he doesn't like to study very much, and the head teacher has come to the house several times, all because he doesn't complete his homework.

Before I could open my eyes, he said in my ear, Fulu, you get up quickly, Fuzi is dead!

I got up as soon as I heard this, but my eyes still didn't open.
