Chapter 3: The Shadow Soul Asks for His Life

Grandpa fell asleep not long after, and I helped him cover the quilt.

Outside, too, it was getting dark.

I closed all the doors and windows in the house, then went under the covers and closed my eyes to sleep.

The kind that just wants to fall asleep right away and sleep until dawn.

Perhaps there is a problem in everyone, that is, the tighter the eyes are closed, the more they can't sleep.

That's how I am now.

Outside the window, under the storm, lightning and thunder, I was completely sleepy.

There is no unwarranted fear in my heart.

Through the cracks in the blankets, I could see the faint glow of the kerosene lamp hanging on the wall.

The dim yellow light of the fire flickered on the walls.

The shadows of the branches were cast on the pillow with the roar of lightning.

The more I look, the more it looks like a woman's fingers!

In the darkness, I could even hear my own heartbeat clearly.

Grandpa was sleeping in the next room, and I was too embarrassed to wake him up.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

"Xiao Feng, open the door for me, my room is too cold, come and get the quilt!"

When I heard my grandfather's voice, I was overjoyed, as if I had suddenly grasped a life-saving straw, and a hanging heart finally let go.

So he quickly lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed.

But I was just about to get up when my grandfather's words to me before going to bed suddenly sounded in my head.

Don't respond to whatever you hear!

The one knocking on the door outside may not be grandpa!

Covered in a cold sweat, I got back under the covers, not daring to move again.

The knocking continued.

The voices outside the door were getting louder and louder.

"Xiao Feng, open the door for me, didn't you hear what I told you, get out of here!"

I was so scared that I couldn't do it, but now I was finally sure that it wasn't my grandfather outside.

Because he's never been so fierce to me.

The voices outside gradually changed from urging to swearing, and I even heard the sound of kicking the door with my foot.

I cowered under the covers, gritting my teeth.

At one point, the sound outside stopped abruptly.

After a while, a mournful female voice came.

"Li Feng, if you let me die without a body, I will also let you die without a place to be buried!"

At this moment, the howling wind hit the windowsill, and the harsh sound was endless, like the sound of fingernails rubbing against the wall.

I gritted my teeth, I knew that this was the ghost of Zhang Genzheng's granddaughter who had come to ask for her life.

I got up and sat on the corner of the bed, took out my grandfather's copper coin sword from the cabinet, and held it in my hand.

And I don't know how in my heart, a nameless fire suddenly swelled up.

I thought that if she dared to rush in, I would dare to fight to the death with her!

I'm a big living person, and I can't be eaten by a female ghost.

As time went on, I could clearly feel the window loosening more and more, as if she would break through the wall the next moment.

At this moment, there was a sudden sharp pain in the back of my head.

I snapped my eyes open.

I found that I had fallen out of bed at some point.

It's already getting dark outside.

I rubbed my head and got up from the ground.

The windows are also intact.

I breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that it was all a dream.

I got dressed and walked outside the door, and found my grandfather lying on a wicker chair basking in the sun with his eyes closed, and he looked a lot better, and I felt a little more at ease.

Seeing me get up, my grandfather turned his head and said, "There is boiled sweet potato porridge in the pot, you can go and add firewood to heat it up and drink it." ”

I warmed up the porridge, squatted beside my grandfather with a bowl, and told him about the dream I had last night, still with lingering palpitations.

Grandpa didn't respond.

I turned my head to look at him, only to see that his face had changed.

"Grandpa?"

I called him.

Grandpa seemed to have just reacted, and turned to me eagerly, "Xiao Feng, what you said is all illusions. ”

"But the matter of the female ghost asking for her life, I'm afraid it's true!"

"It's a good thing you didn't respond to her in your sleep, otherwise you would have been a corpse by now!"

When I heard this, I froze in place, my mouth wide open, not knowing what to do.

At this time, the sound of suona suddenly came from a distance, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

Grandpa suddenly turned around and went to the room and took out a yellowed piece of paper and handed it to me, and instructed, "You go to the place where the paper is written now and find Wu Mazi, don't say anything there, give him the paper, and he will understand everything." ”

"No matter what conditions he makes, he will agree."

"Don't ink, go quickly, or you won't survive tonight!"
