Chapter 9: The Ancestral Ghost Contract
Fang Yue repeatedly persuaded me to sign the ghost contract, but I was still very hesitant.
When dealing with ghosts, you have to be very cautious, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a place of no return.
"By the way, Uncle Fang, what did you do on Gucheng Road that day?"
Fang Yue suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared, which was too weird.
"That day, I noticed that there was a bad breath around me, so I made a little trick, otherwise how do you think you can get out easily?"
Then it dawned on me: "The blood on the ground is also your handiwork?" ”
"It's black dog blood, used to catch ghosts and ward off evil spirits, and if you don't do that, you won't be able to get out of that room."
"Thank you Uncle Fang for your help." I hurriedly thanked Fang Yue.
"Thank you for not having to, it's just that you should think about this ghost contract again,"
"Why do you value ghost deeds so much?"
"The ghost contract is the foundation of the cooperation between people and ghosts, and your He family can say that they have signed the ghost contract for generations, and there is no harm in all benefits."
Listening to Fang Yue's suggestion, I realized that this was an ancestral ghost contract.
"My grandfather also signed a ghost pact before?" I asked curiously.
"Of course."
"What benefits do I get?"
"The protection of ghosts, this is the greatest protection for a Yellow Springs postman, and sometimes it is more effective than human care."
Fang Yueyue obviously understood these things extremely well, and explained them to me clearly in a few words.
"And what do I have to pay?" I continued.
"As long as you fulfill the terms of the ghost deed, you only need to remember three points on this ghost deed, first, regularly send a live chicken to the cemetery in the east of the city, second, go to the tailor's shop every week to make a new dress, and then burn it in front of the store, and third, and most importantly, the store cannot accept people wearing red clothes."
It's not hard for me to think about these three points, but they just sound a little paradoxical.
If you do these things, it is also a good thing to get the protection of the demons.
"There is another thing, once you sign the ghost contract, you can't terminate it, whether you stop fulfilling the terms of the ghost contract, or if you want to stop, you will eventually be attacked by it."
"Hiss......" I gasped, signing a ghost pact was so dangerous.
Fang Yueyue said as if to appease me: "Don't worry, as long as you don't deliberately violate, I won't let you have an accident." ”
……
A few days after signing the ghost pact, everything seemed to be back to normal.
It was as if the faces around him had disappeared.
As promised, I sacrificed a live rooster to the cemetery in the east of the city, and made a set of clothes from the tailor's shop and burned them at the door.
After doing everything, I felt much more at ease, thinking that this was the end of everything and that life was finally back on track.
When I got back to the store, it was past eleven o'clock in the evening.
As usual, I sat at the front desk and dozed off.
This night, a person walked into the store.
I looked over with heavy eyelids, and I felt a sense of excitement and sleepiness.
It was a woman in a crimson coat, her hair on her forehead was a little messy, covering half of her face, and her cuffs were wet, but it wasn't raining outside.
The woman walked around the store a few times, as if looking for something, and finally walked straight up to me.
At this time, I had long forgotten about the ghost contract, and my heart was full of doubts.
"Miss, who are you looking for?"
The woman said quietly, "Can you send me something?" ”
"What's that?"
I saw the woman pull out a red silk from her body, and it became longer and longer.
At some point, the red silk wrapped around my neck, and I couldn't breathe anymore.
It didn't take long for the feeling of suffocation to come, and my eyes went black, and I fainted.
When he woke up again, he was woken up by Fang Yueyue.
It was already dawn in front of me, and I still had palpitations when I remembered my dream last night.
"Ahh
I couldn't help but scream.
"Damn, what are you bothered about early in the morning?" Fang Yue was obviously taken aback by me.
I gasped: "I, I'll wash my face, you sit down first." ”
I walked quickly to the toilet, turned on the faucet, picked up a handful of water and splashed it on my face.
The cold stimulus woke me up a lot, but last night's dream lingered in my mind.
In my dream, I actually violated the terms of the ghost contract and received a woman in red.
I was hesitating to tell Fang Yue about this, but in the mirror, a crimson mark appeared on my neck, as if I had been strangled by something.
I tried wiping it with water, but it didn't work.
Don't...... Wasn't last night a dream?
Thinking of this, I couldn't hold my down, ran back to the front desk, and looked around for the red silk.
"What are you looking for?" Fang Yue looked at me blankly.
I didn't have time to explain, after rummaging through all the places, I was relieved to confirm that there was no red silk, it seems that it was indeed a dream, but is the trace on the neck a coincidence?
Just when I was puzzled, Fang Yue was puzzled: "What is this?" Scarf? ”
As he spoke, he actually pulled out a long red silk from the ground, and his face changed from puzzled to solemn.
I almost fainted when I saw Red Aya, and it wasn't a dream last night.
"It's over, it's over! It's all over! "I slumped in my chair.
Fang Yueyue looked at the red silk carefully and said, "This is the life-seeking red silk, it's a ghost thing." ”
I had no choice but to tell Fang Yueyue what happened last night.
After listening, Fang Yue's face was cloudy.
"You're in trouble, this thing is used by the resentful soul to ask for her life, she must have hanged herself with this thing before she died, and the resentment was attached to it, as long as you send this thing out, that person will die in less than two hours, do you say to give it to whom?"
I shook my head, my focus at the moment was not on the red silk.
"I violated the terms of the ghost contract, isn't it the end of the calf?" I was a little depressed.
"It's not all over yet, there is still salvation, as long as you don't send it, it doesn't count."
"Really?" Fang Yue's words seemed to make me see vitality.
Fang Yue nodded affirmatively, and said, "It's just that this red silk is very troublesome." ”
"Why don't I just throw it away?"
"Of course not." Fang Yue couldn't cry or laugh.
If the Huangquan postman throws away the items sent to the door by the customer, he will definitely be unlucky, and he will be retaliated by the ghost.
"So what now?"
I'm like a headless fly, wandering around the store.
Fang Yue thought of a solution: "You can't send it, but others can, you can directly entrust another Huangquan postman and let him deliver it." ”
I slammed my head: "yes." ”
At this time, I couldn't help but sigh, ginger is still old and spicy, I didn't think of such a good way.
But soon, the problem arose again.
I can't find any other Huangquan postman, and I'm a colleague, so I'm afraid others won't bother with me.
