Xie Dabao lay on the kang for a long time, but still didn't fall asleep, the questions and fears in his heart got bigger and bigger, and finally couldn't help shaking his grandmother, and asked softly: "Grandma, you say, what will happen to those who have committed crimes at any time and after they die?" ”

"Tsk!" Mrs. Xie was a little sleepy just now, and she was a little impatient to be woken up, but because the other party was her most beloved eldest grandson, she held back her anger and said: "Of course, good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded, and there are judges in the underworld, who will judge good and evil." ”

"What kind of retribution?" Xie Dabao's voice trembled a little.

Mrs. Xie slept a little dazed, didn't notice it, and said: "The light crime is a whipping, the heavier one is in the oil pot, and the heavier one is a thousand cuts." ”

"There are also two purgatory, the mountain of knives and the sea of fire." Xie Liu was also so noisy that he lost his sleepiness, and took over Mrs. Xie's words and said.

"Grandma, mother, are these things you say true? How do you know? The other two children were also woken up, and one of them asked.

Mrs. Xie yawned, and her tone was casual: "It's all passed down from generation to generation, since there were people in this world, there have been those legends, and you children don't know much." ”

Hearing this, Xie Dabao's voice trembled more and more, and asked, "It's been so long?" In that case, the underworld should really exist? ”

"Of course there is." Mrs. Xie replied in the affirmative.

Xie Liu's answer was not very sure because he was younger than Mrs. Xie and did not believe in those gods and ghosts as much as the older generation: "It should be, otherwise every year during Qingming, why do you have to burn paper money for your deceased relatives." ”

"It's true...... Xie Dabao muttered, his voice full of fear, "That...... Then if we have wronged people, will we also have evil retribution after death? ”

Mrs. Xie and Xie Liu were a spirit, but they didn't expect him to ask such a thing.

Mrs. Xie was obviously a little nervous in tone: "No, we just told a lie, and we didn't do anything else, there are more people in the world who lie every day, how can Lord Yama and the judge manage it?" ”

Xie Dabao breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still not at ease, and then asked, "What about my father?" Will he be liquidated in Hades? ”

"No, your father just ended his life early, and it was himself who was hurt, not someone else, and Lord Yama won't care." This time it was Xie Liu who answered.

After she finished speaking, she scolded Xie Dabao: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and go to bed, I have to get up early tomorrow to work!" ”

Xie Dabao answered, quieted down, and everyone closed their eyes again.

However, it didn't take long for Xie Dabao's voice to sound again in the room, as if he wanted to seek comfort out of fear: "Grandma, mother, is it because although we lied, we didn't do much harm to the boss of Moxue Building, so we won't be punished after death?" ”

Mrs. Xie was a little annoyed, and said perfunctorily.

I thought that Xie Dabao could shut up just like that, but I didn't want him to mumble again: "In other words, if that boss's family, because we have a big trouble, or even an accident, we will commit karma?" ”

After saying that, Mrs. Xie and Xie Liu's faces sank.

The truth is this, but Mrs. Xie and Xie Liu are unwilling to think about it.

"What nonsense? It's just that it's been blackmailed, what accident can happen? Mrs. Xie frowned and reprimanded her grandson, and said, "The yamen didn't convict that boss, what accident could she have?" ”

Xie Dabao was taken aback by Mrs. Xie's sudden and stern tone, and suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, so it was really bad to scare himself, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, grandma, what you said is that I thought too much." ”

Mrs. Xie snorted coldly: "Hurry up and go to bed!" ”

Xie Dabao sighed and closed his eyes.

The room was quiet again, but everyone's hearts were uncontrollably clouded with a shadow that came from the subconscious, and they didn't even notice it.

Time passed little by little, and the sky outside the house became darker and darker, until the whole canopy seemed to be dyed with thick ink, and the pitch black reached out and could not see the five fingers.

There is no moon in the sky, only a few stars shining on the earth, emitting a lonely and faint light, this little bit of light is really useless.

At the end of Luhua Village, in the dilapidated courtyard, Mrs. Xie's family gradually fell asleep.

At night, the night outside was heavy and cold, but the house was warm, and Mrs. Xie's family slept comfortably under the quilt, however, this comfort was broken not long after.

In the middle of the night, they suddenly heard a terrible scream.

Xie Liu was taken aback, and was the first to wake up, thinking that there was a thief or robber, afraid of being killed, he didn't dare to go out to check, so he lay on the kang and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside.

After listening to it for a while, there was nothing, she breathed a sigh of relief, just thought it was her auditory hallucination, shook her head, pulled the quilt, and prepared to fall asleep again.

"Ahh

At this time, there was a scream outside again, it was a female voice, it was almost complaining to the extreme, and if you listened carefully, the cry was mixed with crying.

When I heard it again, I found that the voice was not made by one person, but by others, men, women, old and young.

Those voices seemed to be in the courtyard of the Xie family, and the owners of the voices said together: "Give me back my life, I died so unjustly!" ”

The voice flickered and flickered, like a ghost.

Xie Liu's hairs stood up in an instant, and the whole person froze in the quilt, not knowing how to deal with it.

After a moment of stiffness, she came back to her senses from the huge fright, and remembered to wake up Mrs. Xie and them, and was just about to scream, but vented that they had woken up.

"Mother, this is ......" Xie Dabao asked Xie Liu in a trembling voice.

"Don't make a sound!" Xie Liu covered Xie Dabao's mouth, not daring to let him speak, for fear of attracting an unknown existence outside the courtyard.

Xie Dabao was also very scared, obediently closed his mouth, and curled up in the same bed with his two younger brothers shivering.

In the dark night, Xie Liu groped for Mrs. Xie's face, leaned on her ear, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, what do you say is going on?" Is it a human or a ghost outside? ”

Mrs. Xie gasped violently for a moment before she said, "Someone is pretending to be a ghost, but we have never killed anyone, who can pay for our lives?" ”

Xie Liu nodded in agreement, and the fear in his heart was dispelled a little.

However, as soon as she put her mind at ease, she heard another voice outside.

"Woo woo woo, I'm dying so miserably! You have caused me to have no business to do, cut off my wealth, let me not pay off my gambling debts, and be killed, I want you to pay for your life! ”

"It hurts to be slashed at my body, I watched my father and sister die, and then I died too."

"You guys gave me my life, woo woo, it's all your fault!"

A poignant female voice sounded, and the meaning of the words frightened everyone in the Xie family.

And every time the female voice finished speaking, other men and women would echo it, and it sounded very dense, and it was far and near, making the scalp tingle.

In the house, the Xie family froze.

Xie Liu pulled Mrs. Xie and looked in the direction where Mrs. Xie was in the dark, wanting to ask her if she still thinks someone is pretending to be a ghost?

Mrs. Xie didn't give her a response, and her whole body trembled like chaff.

Before she could figure out how to deal with it and react appropriately, with a "bang", the door was blown open from the outside by the wind, and the deadbolt snapped to the ground, as if it didn't exist.

The wind poured in and blew in a room of cold air, and the skin of Mrs. Xie and the others was covered with goosebumps.

They were frightened, sat up from the kang suddenly, looked at the door in panic, and wanted to reclose the door, but they didn't dare to get off the kang, and they all huddled together, one against the other.

"Woo woo, I died so miserably! What a terrible death we were! ”

The mournful voice came again, and it got closer and closer, and finally, in the frightened eyes of the Xie family, a few figures floated in outside the door.

They were human figures, but in the darkness they could not see whether they had any shadows, and they were all dressed in white, floating in lightly through the door, and it seemed that they themselves seemed to be the shadows.

Yes, float in.

They floated and dangled in the air, their white shadows as if they had touched the beams of the house, shaking like moths under the lamp.

Suddenly, a white shadow descended slightly from the highest place and shook in front of the Xie family's face, allowing them to see the scars on the white shadow's body and see the blood gurgling down the other party's body through the faint starlight outside the window.

Looking a little further, I saw that the other party's pale face and eyes were hollow, most of his tongue was drooping outward, and the blood on the corners of his mouth and chin was bright red and pierced people's eyes.

And what frightens the Xie family the most is that they know the people who live in this face! That is clearly Yun Xiaoshuang, the boss of Moxue Building, who confronted them in court half a month ago!

Mrs. Xie met those empty eyes, and she felt as if her scalp had exploded in an instant, her heartbeat was too fast as if she had lost control, and her back was even more chilled.

Suddenly, a hot current flowed down between the strands, and she was so frightened that she was incontinent on the spot.

Next to her, Xie Liu didn't show his ugliness, because he was so frightened that he lost his ability to react, and he could only look at that terrible face in a daze, and his body kept trembling.

The three Xie Dabao brothers also didn't cry because they were too frightened, but only blanked their faces, as if they had lost their souls.

"Give me back my life......"

The faint female voice sounded, but I didn't see the "Yun Xiaoshuang" open her mouth, I don't know where the voice came from, I only heard the voice with a bitter coolness.

Accompanied by the voice, there were hands that suddenly stretched out, and the eyes were about to pinch Mrs. Xie's neck, Mrs. Xie was so frightened that she had a convulsion, and she fainted.

The pair then moved towards Xie Liu, and Xie Liu let out a heart-rending scream as if he had finally come back to his senses, and he also fainted.

The three Xie Dabao brothers hadn't fainted yet, and looked at Yun Xiaoshuang in horror.

"Yun Xiaoshuang" showed an evil smile, and her hand continued to stretch forward, but instead of pinching Xie Dabao's neck, a very fine smoke suddenly appeared from her sleeve.

The smoke was inhaled into the lungs by the three little brothers Xie Dabao, but as soon as they breathed in, they also fainted straight.

Of course, they themselves did not know how they were dizzy, because the smoke was black and odorless, and they could not see or smell anything strange in the dark.
