Chapter 32: The Strange Old Woman
readx;? Burn the coin in the middle of the highway? Is it because people have died here, and it was their relatives who died?
I thought about it, and it suddenly occurred to me that such a possibility. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Generally speaking, this kind of thing is not unusual, in the past, you can also see people burning dead coins on the road, and people will also burn at both ends of some bridges.
Most of them are because people have died in the place where they burned the coins, and then they burned the coins in order to pay tribute, inserted incense, and some would put a bowl of white rice, throw some candy or something.
Every time I saw such a scene before, I would pretend not to see it and walk with my head down. Especially when I saw the position where the incense was inserted, I didn't dare to approach and avoided it far away.
I feel very evil, and I am afraid that I will be entangled by something or have bad luck when I get closer. The adults in the family also taught us this, including the funeral and the like.
Now when I see this scene, I am too busy to bow my head and dare not look at it again.
"Wang Feng?" at this moment, someone from behind me called me.
My body stopped abruptly and stiffened.
Huang Xiaochao said that if you walk on the road in the middle of the night, if someone shouts at you, don't turn back, because as soon as you turn around, you are likely to be ghosted and become a stand-in.
"Wang Feng, it's me. The man said again.
The voice is Huang Xiaochao's, damn it, it's actually Huang Xiaochao's?
Huang Xiaochao went back to his hometown to heal, so it was impossible for him to appear here, let alone call me.
Besides, even if he came back from his hometown, he wouldn't have known that I was here, was it a coincidence?
No, no, no, something has found me.
I now pretended I didn't know anything, and I didn't hear anyone calling me from behind, so I continued walking, looking like nothing had happened.
Huang Xiaochao said that as long as he pretended not to hear, he could continue to follow his own path, so I did as he said.
Usually he is right, and he's been right all the way, especially in these areas.
"Wang Feng, don't go, I'm Huang Xiaochao. The man behind continued.
I have to admit that this ghost pretends to be very similar, his voice is exactly the same as Huang Xiaochao's, and the tone of his speech at this time is also very similar to the feeling of anxiety, as if it is really Huang Xiaochao who is anxious because I ignore him.
I have even seen the scene of Huang Xiaochao catching up with a complaining face in my mind, but I won't let him catch up, catch up, and pat me on the shoulder......
I'm going to die.
The voice behind me approached, and I quickened my pace. The voice caught up again, and I picked up my pace again.
But no matter how fast I sped up, I couldn't get rid of the voice behind me, I was fast and he was fast, he was still calling me, saying that he was Huang Xiaochao, let me wait for him.
I won't wait, and I won't stop fighting.
I started running, trotting to running, running to death. The voices behind me, like me, began to catch up.
I'm about to cry, is that thing "eating" me tonight? I don't know how far I've run now, I thought it was safe and said to slow down and rest for a while, but the voice behind me reappeared, panting and saying Wang Feng, you wait for me.
Hearing this, my scalp tingled, and I took a deep breath and ran again. I'm in a race to death, as long as I outrun him, I'll be alive, or I'm afraid it will really be tonight......
I've never had this kind of fear, I don't dare to look back, there's only one word in my head: Run!
Run, run, run!
I don't know where the strength came from, obviously I can't run anymore, but I can still run through gritting my teeth, keep running, the road with lights and the road without lights, and now I don't know where to run, I just know that the thing behind me is still there.
"Wang Feng ......"
My heart trembled, and I gritted my teeth again to speed up my pace, but I seemed to have reached a dead end, and there was no way in front of me.
What to do?
Sweating profusely, I looked around and saw a tall building still being renovated. Without even thinking about it, I plunged headlong into it.
Either way, you have to get rid of that person, you have to.
"Wang Feng......" The voice seemed to sound in my ears, and at this moment I exploded even more, and ran upstairs desperately.
Now it's not Huang Xiaochao's voice, it's Wang Ping's!
I knew it was a ghost chasing me, I knew it!
I'm running away now, no matter how dark the stairs in front of me are, there seems to be Wang Ping or Zhang Bing hidden inside, I don't care, but I just can't be caught up by something behind, I can't let him pat me on the shoulder.
My heart was pounding, and each stroke seemed to try to get out of my throat.
I was tired and climbed more than a dozen floors of stairs in a row. I couldn't walk anymore, I was panting, my legs were weak and sore, and now I couldn't walk anymore if I took a thousand pounds of a step.
Holding on to the stairs and panting, the sweat was cold, sliding from his forehead and seeping through his back, making his clothes wet and cold.
There is an elevator in front of me, and one of them is actually operating automatically.
I didn't dare to go there, and although my mind was telling me that it would be easier to go in and take the elevator, I still didn't go or go.
The one-sided elevator is like the mouth of a monster, opening and closing, waiting for me to throw myself into the net.
As soon as I thought of this, I was creepy, took a deep breath, gritted my teeth, and continued to climb the stairs with my thighs on my legs, no matter what, I was going to get rid of him, I wanted to live!
I ran as hard as I could, even though I couldn't hear any sound, as if there was nothing behind me, but I still didn't dare to look back, for fear that when I turned around, I would see Wang Ping in the face of me.
Da Da Da ......
The whole building was empty and echoed with the sound of me running, and with a click, the only lights suddenly went out.
I stopped and looked around.
Why is it so dark? What about the lights, why are the lights not coming on?
This is the city, and it stands to reason that even if this building is extinguished, it will not be impossible to reach out and lose sight, after all, the lights of the city will shine from all directions.
But now I can't see anything, I'm in a black hole, I can't see the road, I can't see everything.
At this time, I became blind, knowing that I could see anything I could see when I opened my eyes, but now I just can't see it.
It was maddening, and I tried to keep my eyes open so I could get a glimpse of the light. But it's all in vain, I can't see, I can't see anything......
The sound of rapid breathing and panicked panting echoed across the empty staircase.
My heart hung tightly in the air, and I knew that it was I who died this time.
Maybe Shanshan and they are watching the live broadcast with their mobile phones, the person in the picture is me, Wang Ping is laughing and explaining, saying that Wang Feng is going to jump off the building, everyone is working hard to reward......
I even heard him talking playfully, and said in my ear Wang Feng, you see that everyone has given so many tips, should you jump down.
That's when I could see the light, and I was back in my original position, no, on the roof!
I looked down and saw the highway at a glance, and I saw the pedestrians, only a little bigger, and there were vehicles speeding on the road, but at this time it was more like a toy car in its slow form......
The cold wind blew through me, the sweat became even colder, and the clothes that stuck to my back were like a block of ice, which made me uncomfortable, and my body and heart were trembling.
Jump, jump!
Wang Ping said with a smile, and then turned into Huang Xiaochao's voice laughing, as well as Zhang Bing's, and other people's.
Men and women, young and old. They were all laughing, hovering above me and laughing, from far to near, from near to far, hahaha......
"No!" I glared and growled, slapping my head with both hands to sober myself up.
I know it has to be fake, it has to be.
"What's wrong with you, young man?"
At this time, I was tapped on the shoulder, and my originally chaotic brain suddenly became clear, and the sense of death oppression dissipated, and the whole person became extremely relaxed.
It dawned on my eyes that I was still standing where I was, on the side of the road, and there was a fire in the middle of the road not far in front of me, which had been burned by the mother-in-law and the little girl.
But my mother-in-law and the little girl were standing next to me now, looking at me with concern. The person who tapped me on the shoulder and woke me up was the mother-in-law just now, and I noticed that she was actually holding a copper coin in her hand when she patted me on the shoulder.
Some ancient copper coins have the word Shunzhi.
"What happened to you, young man?" said the mother-in-law again.
I took a deep breath to recover as much as I could, and then squeezed out a smile and said Mother-in-law, I'm fine, thank you for your concern.
My mother-in-law smiled at me at this time, took away the hand on my shoulder, and put the copper coin in her pocket.
"You just talked to yourself, scared me to death as an old woman. This is not a place you should be here. She said.
I smiled bitterly, I didn't want to come, I just didn't know how the gods sent the ghost to come here, and I happened to meet her burning the dead coin.
Thinking of this, I asked my mother-in-law why you just burned the coin because ......
I didn't dare to ask the latter words, it would not be nice to put such a thing as the death of a loved one on anyone. Now I regret saying that.
However, the mother-in-law did not seem sad, but said that she just wanted to burn something for her relatives in her hometown.
At this time, I realized that he was not worshiping his relatives who were killed in this place, but burning something in this way, so that the passing vehicles could "pass" and bring things back to his dead relatives in his hometown for their use.
People in other places can't go back often to worship, so they choose this way to bring things back.
She also mentioned that this place is a crossroads and extends in all directions, so such places are usually post stations in the underworld, similar to the express delivery in the world, and this is the place of the underworld express.
It sounds sinister, but when I turned my head to look around, I realized that this was the crossroads, and the place where the coins were burned was the intersection of the junctions.
At this moment, someone in the distance came to the place where the mother-in-law had just burned the coin, and also squatted down to burn the coin, thinking that it was another person who was sending something to his deceased relatives who were far away.
Seeing this, I am even more convinced of my mother-in-law's words, and there is such a saying in my heart.
"Young man, I see what you just looked like you were entangled in, right?" said the mother-in-law in a low voice.
I looked at her in horror and wondered how she knew.
