After a while, I got along with Bai Wei and got along well, and when I saw her running into the house in a hurry, I sat in the tank and joked: "Take the paper, why do you pull it after eating?" ”

However, Bai Wei ignored me at all, rushed into the back room quickly, and quickly folded back, and when he came out, there was a straight wooden stick in his hand, which was the peach branch we had secretly broken in the orchard in the afternoon, but the stick had been wrapped around a circle of white cloth by Bai Wei, and the white cloth was also painted with characters that I couldn't understand.

When I rushed to the side of the water tank, Bai Wei first hit me on the head with a stick before saying, "You stay honest with me, when do you still have the heart to joke?" ”

After speaking, I saw Bai Wei turn around and face the courtyard wall, and suddenly raised her voice and shouted, 'Rape', which startled me, and then I heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside the wall, as well as the sound of talking.

The voice followed the wall until it came to the door, and suddenly stopped, and I heard that the voice should be the fifth master and grandmother, and the footsteps should also be the same, so I understood Bai Wei's intention, she was testing the fifth master and grandmother who were guarding the door outside.

Fortunately, it seems that the two of them also reacted in time, so they didn't rush in directly, otherwise they would go against what Bai Wei said before, let them watch the door outside, and they couldn't come in no matter what movement they heard.

Seeing that the two of them didn't break in, Bai Wei was also relieved, so she took the pieces of yellow paper on which she had written the spell in advance, and said to me: "Listen, after a while, you will burrow your whole body into the tank, I will cover the mouth ......of the water tank with yellow paper, and you will be the same inside, no matter what movement you hear outside for a while, you can't break through the yellow paper, otherwise you will have to die."

"Then what should I do if I suffocate to death?" I asked.

Bai Wei said again: "Don't worry, when you dive down, you tilt your head and show your nose, you can't suffocate to death, but you remember, no matter what movement you hear, you must not get out, remember to ......"

I quickly nodded, and according to Bai Wei's words, I dived my whole body into the water, tilting my head back and only exposing my mouth and nose outside the water.

Then Bai Wei began to cover the mouth of the water tank with yellow paper, covering three or five layers in a row, covering the mouth of the water tank tightly, for a moment, the water tank was dark, the only light that could be seen came from the dim yellow light of the moon in the sky through the yellow paper, this time I couldn't see anything, curled up in the water tank The atmosphere did not dare to breathe, I could only hear the voice of Bai Wei outside, she did not go far, but began to chant back and forth on the edge of the water tank.

Not long after, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, the water in the tank seemed to be getting colder and colder, as if ice cubes had been added to it, and I began to shiver, and at this moment, I suddenly heard a whirring sound, and the yellow paper covering the water tank also began to tremble, as if it was windy outside.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Bai Wei laughing outside and said, "A good breeze is coming!" If you go against heaven and ask for people's lives, are you not afraid of being damned? ”

After Bai Wei finished speaking, no one answered, but there was a very strange sound in the yard, like some animal clucking, and at the same time, there was a sound similar to grinding teeth, but I couldn't get out of the water tank, and I didn't know what it was.

Then Bai Wei's voice came again, but I began to understand what she said, she was grunting like a mantra, and more gurgling replies began to sound from around, I thought about it carefully, isn't this kind of thing the words said when the two figures squatting in the corner of my house were talking?

Suddenly, the wind became stronger, and the yellow paper covering the mouth of the water tank trembled more violently, as if it might be blown away by the wind when it followed, and the sound of talking outside the water tank also became a fighting sound, I hid in the tank and became more and more panicked, and the water in the tank became more and more cold and biting, so cold that my limbs began to numb, because of the uneasiness in my heart and physical pain, I almost couldn't help but rush out of the water tank several times, and I was hard to hold back.

But at this moment, through the yellow paper soaked with water at the mouth of the water tank, I saw a figure slowly moving to the front of the water tank, and then the shadow became bigger and bigger, as if the face of the person was leaning down from the water tank, and immediately after, I saw a blurred face behind the yellow paper.

It was a woman with long hair, because she leaned down with her back to the moonlight, so she couldn't see her facial features clearly, but the outline of her face was quite complete, I hid in the water tank and looked up, and suddenly I was shocked again, that face was a little familiar, and the more I looked at it, the more familiar it became, but I couldn't remember who she was......

Through several layers of yellow paper, I stared at her face, and she stared straight into the jar on it, motionless.

But this calm only lasted long, she suddenly raised her hand, began to cry and scratch desperately on the yellow paper, and from time to time she put her whole face over, trying to gnaw the yellow paper with her mouth, so frightened that I trembled all over, and I could only put my whole head in the water and dare not gasp.

Fortunately, the yellow paper was unusually strong, and the woman couldn't break the yellow paper after scratching and biting several times, but I was also dizzy in the water, so I had no choice but to carefully move my body up, trying to let my nose and mouth out of the water so that I could breathe.

However, the water level in the tank was too high, and when my mouth and nose were out of the water, the tip of my nose had almost touched the quivering yellow paper, and when the woman tore the yellow paper, the yellow paper pressed down, and the other party's teeth touched my face several times through the yellow paper.

My fear became stronger and stronger, I wanted to rush out of the water tank and escape, I wanted to scream to vent, but I didn't dare, the strong fear caused my mood to become more and more excited, coupled with the thin air in the water tank sealed by yellow paper, it didn't take long for my mind to start sinking and dizzy, just when the woman pounced down and gnawed on the yellow paper again, my eyes were dark, and I fainted......

I don't remember what happened next, but when I came back to my senses, the first thing I heard was a few rooster crows coming from outside the hospital.

In the past, the local chickens in the countryside reported the dawn very punctually, the chickens crowed three times on time, I looked out through the yellow paper at the mouth of the tank, the sky was still dark, this should be the first time to report, roughly should be four o'clock in the morning.

As soon as I thought that Bai Wei said that the chicken would be fine after crowing, I quickly tore open the yellow paper and rushed out of the water tank, and saw that Bai Wei's nine plates around the water tank had been broken, and the chicken on the plate rolled to the ground, and Bai Wei was lying on the ground not far from the water tank, as if she was dead, covered in dust, and still clutching the stick in her hand, but the stick had been broken into two pieces from the middle......

I grabbed the clothes on the side of the tank and put them on randomly, ran over and hugged Bai Wei first, I felt that she was soft, and her hands were colder than my body that had soaked in water all night, but fortunately, she still had to breathe......

At this time, my grandmother, the fifth master and others who were locked up outside the courtyard also hit the door bolt and rushed in, and when I saw that I was kneeling in the courtyard and holding Bai Wei, who was unconscious, I hurriedly came around and asked questions, but my mind was full of mud, and I didn't know where to start.

As soon as I briefly told what I knew, my grandmother and the others were stunned, and they didn't know what to do for a while, and at this moment, Bai Wei, who was fainting, had already woken up in my arms......

Seeing that Bai Wei woke up, everyone was surprised and delighted, but before she could ask her about the situation at night, Bai Wei grabbed my collar first, gritted her teeth and asked in surprise: "Whose thing did your grandfather take?" ”

As soon as Bai Wei's words came out, we were all stunned, why did she suddenly ask such a sentence?

At this time, I heard Bai Wei say again: "Are you hiding something from me?" It's better to explain everything, or I'm afraid even I won't be able to help......"

After Bai Wei finished speaking, the grandmother who was silent next to her opened her mouth and said: "Er Xian Gu also said before that my old man has sticky hands and takes other people's things, but although my old man is not a good person, he can't steal!" ”

When the fifth master heard this, he also nodded beside him and said: "Sanshan is not that kind of person, he didn't do it when I asked him to steal cables with me to make a fortune, and it was because of that incident that we broke up......"

After listening to this, Bai Wei said, "Think about it again?" Even if you haven't stolen it, what if you pick it up? ”

Grandmother thought about it carefully, frowned and said, "If you talk about picking it up, I really have something he picked up at home, it's a tambourine ......."

This was the first time my grandmother remembered the bronze drum, and we didn't even realize how big it came from.
