Grandmother had just said that the oil lamp must not be extinguished, and the child snuffed out the lamp, so angry that the second aunt jumped to her feet, dragged the child and spanked her, but the grandmother didn't care about persuading her, and hurriedly ran over to check the oil lamp, and the unlucky child actually picked up the lampshade and twisted the wick with his fingers until there was only a trace of spark.

"Shut the door!"

After the grandmother finished shouting, the third aunt who was closest to the door quickly closed the door, and as soon as the wind stopped entering the door, the trembling sparks on the wick gradually recovered, and the grandmother quickly asked my mother to go to the sewing machine drawer and turn over a needle out, knelt on the ground and began to carefully pick the wick with the tip of the needle, and finally saved the flame again, and the family breathed a sigh of relief.

After a period of danger, our family chatted for a while, seeing that it was not early, my grandmother stood up to leave, she has been living in the old courtyard by herself, my father has persuaded her several times to move over to live with us, but she refused, said reluctant, fortunately, the old courtyard is not too far from my home, in our same village, grandmother's body is still strong, so I did not force it.

When my grandmother left, the two aunts also followed to live in the old courtyard, and we were left with a family of three, so my father asked me to quickly carry the oil lamp into the house to sleep, after all, it is better to go to bed early than to sleep late, and it will not be cranky in the middle of the night when I sleep until dawn, but he forgot, I just didn't sleep well......

When I went back to the house, I put the oil lamp on the ground in the middle of the room according to the words of the second fairy girl, and went to bed, but the more I thought about it in bed, the more frightened I became, so I got up again and turned on the light in the house before falling asleep.

But I didn't sleep well, I couldn't sleep well with the lights on in the room, and I didn't know how long I slept in a daze, when I was woken up by a strange soft noise. The sound was low and crisp, sometimes far and sometimes near, like someone threw a glass ball in a quiet room, and then the glass ball began to jump around on the ground, jumping around, after hearing the sound, I gradually woke up, opened my eyes slightly in a daze, my eyes were dark, strange, I obviously turned on the light before going to bed?

As I was thinking this, another strange voice came, as if someone was hiding in the corner and talking, very fast, and I couldn't understand what was being said. I opened my eyes wide and mustered up the courage to follow the sound, and the oil lamp in the middle of the room was still on, and the flames were trembling, emitting a dim and faint light, and by the light, I dimly saw two black figures squatting in the corner of the wall, which seemed to be two people, squatting in the corner of my room and talking, and the sound of muttering came from their mouths.

I couldn't see the faces of the two men clearly, only their general outlines and postures, and I saw one of them crouching there, looking up in my direction, as if looking at me, and not talking much, while the other was also crouching next to me, but facing the direction of the other figure, and kept saying things I didn't understand, and dancing a few times from time to time.

At first, I just woke up from sleep, and my brain was still a little dull, but after a while, as soon as my brain woke up, I inevitably broke out in a cold sweat, and I was so frightened that I wanted to scream immediately and call my parents over, but I opened my mouth, but I couldn't make a sound, I had no choice but to continue to pretend to sleep, secretly squinting and staring at the every move of the two black shadows......

Staring, I fell asleep again in a drowsy state, and when I woke up again, it was already dawn, I stood up from the bed, my whole body was sore and uncomfortable, and I saw that the oil lamp in the middle of the room was still burning, so I was relieved to get out of bed, and went out to see, my grandmother had come, and was sitting in the middle hall chatting with my mother, and there was a pig-killing knife on the coffee table in front of me, and I knew that it must have been my grandmother who went to the butcher early in the morning to borrow it, and in that year, every household raised chickens and pigs, and there were several butchers who killed pigs and sold meat in every village, It's not hard to borrow a pig-killing knife.

Then my grandmother asked me how I slept last night, and I told them about the two black shadows I saw, and everyone was stunned for a moment, and then my grandmother comforted me and said that I must have had another nightmare, but I always felt that the feeling last night was clearer and more vivid than the nightmare I had all along.

When it was almost noon, my grandmother urged my father to get the whetstone, and when I saw that it was almost twelve o'clock, I quickly asked him to take a stool and sit at the door of my house to start sharpening the knife, and sharpened it for an hour, and sharpened the pig-killing knife to a shiny one, and then my grandmother wrapped the knife in advance with the red cloth prepared in advance, and put it into the waistband of my trousers, and took me out again, and went to Huangjiagouzi to find the second fairy aunt.

The second time my grandmother and I went to Huangjiagouzi was more than two o'clock in the afternoon, less than three o'clock, the sky was still bright, this time my grandmother did not hesitate, took me to speed up the pace and went straight to Huang Erxian Gu's house, how do you know to the door of the second fairy aunt to see, we were both stunned, remember that when I came yesterday, the yard was deserted like a waste house, but today I went to the door and looked again, the yard, the house in and out of the house were full of people, the gate also hung two white paper lanterns, and a large white cloth was nailed to the beam.

Seeing that something was wrong, my grandmother hurriedly took me into the courtyard, and just as a middle-aged man in his forties came out of the middle hall, my grandmother asked him, "Big brother, this is Huang Erxian Gu's house, right?" What's going on? ”

The man glanced at his grandmother, waved his hand and sighed, "You always come to see the incense, don't you?" Hey, you're late, and you're gone. ”

Hearing this, I chuckled in my heart, and my grandmother's face became ugly, and she asked, "No one is gone?" Yesterday was fine, how can you say that it is gone? ”

The man replied, "Yesterday was a good one, and at noon I saw her go to the commissary to buy wine. I heard that it was not the night after, and I had to hang myself on the roof beam......"

After he finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but his grandmother quickly grabbed him again, continued to ask, and finally figured out the details-

It is said that someone came to Huang Er Xiangu in the morning to see the incense, but the door of the second fairy Gu has been closed no matter how you call it, and by ten o'clock in the morning, there are already six or seven people waiting in line to see the incense outside.

Huangjiagouzi has a lot of relatives of Erxian Gu, and it just so happened that a big brother in the family saw it, and thought that Erxian Gu usually rarely goes out, and the first thing he does when he gets up every morning is to open the door first, so that those who come to see the incense can go in, but why is the door closed today? And the door is not locked, it is clear that the deadbolt is inserted from the yard.

The more the eldest brother thought about it, the more wrong it became, and after calling the door for a while, he saw that no one had responded inside, so he climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, but when he entered the house, he saw that the second fairy girl was hanging on the beam of his house, and his eyes were protruding, but he was still laughing, and that weird smile had frozen on his face......

In a village, there are no big or small things that can't be hidden from people at all, especially the second fairy Gu is still a celebrity of Huangjiagouzi, and after a while, the whole village was alarmed, the Huang family and the village cadres rushed over, and specially invited the county's forensic doctor to conduct an autopsy, and finally came to the conclusion that he hanged himself, except for the skin wound on his forehead last night, there were no scars on his body.

By the time the man finished speaking, my grandmother was completely shocked, and the two bottles of wine in her hand fell to the ground with a 'snap', and the bottles shattered, and I was stunned and didn't know what to say, and the words of the second fairy aunt last night echoed in my mind-

"I don't think you will see me when you come in the afternoon......"

Could it be that the second immortal aunt knew that something was going to happen to her yesterday?

Could it be that it was because of what happened to me that I harmed the two fairy aunts?

Seeing that my grandmother and I didn't speak, the man sighed again and said, "Hey, it's a pity, it's a good person, usually happy, how can you say that you hang yourself?" What's the point of not thinking about it? ”

But before he could finish his sentence, he heard a woman's voice coming from behind him—

"Sister Huang didn't hang herself at all, she was a ghost asking for her life, and she was strangled to death and hung on a rope......"

Hearing this, we all followed the sound and looked over, and we saw a girl who looked to be in her early twenties, slowly walking out of the middle hall with her hands behind her back......
