Chapter 246: I Do It on My Own
No one will believe it when I say it, my grandfather took me to recognize a deserted old house as a godmother!
The old house is in the mountain behind us, and it is said that it was haunted and scared the owner's family to move away, and it has been abandoned for more than ten years!
The unusualness of this old house has caused me to have a lingering shadow in my heart since the day of "Bai Gan Niang".
On the night of the ghost's fifth and eighth birthday, my grandfather officially asked me to worship the haunted house as my godmother.
I also asked my grandfather, shouldn't I worship a godmother, why do I worship the house that has not been lived in for more than ten years in Houshan as a godmother?
The old house was a forbidden place in our village, and there used to be a single girl living in it.
The girl's fate was tragic, she lost her relatives at a very young age and lived alone in an old house. Because she was born beautifully, she was a well-known little beauty in the ten miles and eight towns at that time, and she was not less bullied in the era when bandits were rampant...... The girl died tragically in the old house, and my grandfather told me about it before.
Grandpa also said that he was very good friends with the girl when he was a child, and the night she died, grandpa lay in bed, and heard the crows of crows everywhere in the mountains all night, and the whole mountain village was filled with an unusual and strange atmosphere! The girl's death was even more unusual, because she was nailed to the offering table in her ancestral hall with eight willow nails!
It was a chaotic time, the village was isolated, and the girl's death eventually became a mystery.
However, some time after the girl's death, a period of unpeaceful life began in the village!
Children under the age of eight will always cry in the middle of the night. The direction of the old house also often heard terrible singing in the middle of the night, and some brave people listened carefully, it was the girl's voice!
The main repercussions of this incident are still on the children in the village.
As long as there are children passing by in the direction of the old house, they are always awakened every night, noisily saying that there is a woman sitting on the bed, and they are choking their necks!
After coming and going, the villagers fell into a panic and eventually found my great-grandfather.
The reason why great-grandfather didn't make a move at first was because he knew that the girl died unjustly, and as a good friend of the girl, the grandfather, who was still young at the time, also knew about it.
Under pressure from the villagers, my great-grandfather had to intervene to solve the matter.
On the night of the second day of the fourth lunar month, he went to the old house.
My great-grandfather tied a red line to the beam of the old house, and the other end of the red line was tied to an old cedar tree at the entrance of the old house.
"The road is ahead, each with its own side, after tonight, there is revenge, there is revenge!"
These are the words of my great-grandfather to the old house at the time.
On the evening of the next day, two people died in the village, a man and a woman.
Since then, peace has been restored in the village, but the old house has since become a forbidden place for the whole village, and no one dares to go in that direction, and no children are allowed to approach.
Later, a couple who had fled from the country came to this place, but because they had no place to live, they lived in an old house.
The couple brought a young daughter of seven or eight years old, and there was nothing wrong with living in the old house some time ago.
Gradually, the couple's daughter often got sick and often said that they saw a woman floating around outside the window.
The couple didn't believe it.
Until one time, their daughter was doing her homework in the room, and the hostess sat next to her to sew and mend her clothes, and the girl's pencil suddenly fell under the bed, and the hostess buried her head under the bed to help her pick up the pencil, and found a little girl lying under the bed, exactly like her daughter! Since that night, the family of three has moved out of the old house forever, and no one has ever set foot in that place again!
It's such an unusual horror old house, grandpa actually wants me to worship it as a godmother!
As soon as I cried, my grandfather, who was lying on the chair, said a word to me.
"Grandpa doesn't want to do this, but grandpa can't last long, the ghost of the beginning of the month, fate is lonely, I hope my old friend can protect you for me!"
Grandpa actually took the old house as his old friend!
Later, I couldn't resist this incident, and on the night of my birthday, my grandfather asked me to carry two pieces of bacon wrapped in red cloth and took me to the door of the old house.
Grandpa and I knelt together outside the weedy half-meter-high door.
He whispered: "My grandson, Ding Chou was born in March, born of Yin Niangzi, his life will be bumpy, the old decay is about to go west, and he is powerless to protect him, if you can accept him as a son, there will be good incense and good fire to worship every month thereafter, and you will be written into the ghost genealogy, and the incense will continue for generations!" ”
It was a scene I will never forget in my life!
After Grandpa said this, a gust of wind blew at the door of the old house!
I saw with my own eyes that in front of the incense burned by my grandfather, a red poisonous snake came out of the mouse hole and wrapped around the three pillars of incense!
Grandpa hurriedly shouted to me:
"Ah, it agreed, kneel down and thank you!"
In such a daze, I kowtowed to the old house three times, and then passed out.
My life has changed a bit since then. From a "broom star" who used to be often unlucky, to a child with good luck.
In the past, in school, because of the bad reputation of the family, I was often beaten, and after the day of worshipping my godmother, every time someone wanted to beat me, I either fell into the ditch and became a fool, or I was chased by wild dogs on the side of the road all over the village.
The weirdest thing is that the place I passed, there have never been snakes, insects and ants, I remember that before I worshiped my godmother, I was extremely unlucky, and I was often scared by poisonous snakes and screamed, and the most unlucky day I could meet a poisonous snake ten meters apart!
Since then, every year in April, I have to go to the door of the old house to burn incense.
On April 2, when I was thirteen years old, when I went to burn incense for my "godmother", I heard a beautiful singing!
The sound came from the old house! The children in the ghost family are not popular!
From a very young age, my grandfather trained me to be brave, often forcing me to sleep in the cemetery in the middle of the night, digging dry graves, and looking at Feng Shui, I was actually quite brave at that time.
And I and I, the "godmother", seemed to have some intimacy for a while, and I was not afraid at the time, so I turned on the flashlight and looked into the room.
At this glance, I actually saw a girl in red sitting in the ancestral hall of the old house!
The girl looks so beautiful, eighteen or nineteen years old, with red clothes fluttering, black hair fluttering in front of her face like thousands of green silks, and her face is a little pale, but it doesn't affect her appearance like a fairy in the slightest!
She looked back at me, and I was in a daze, only to see a few tears hanging from her delicate cheeks.
But in the next second, in a trance, the person was gone!
I thought it was a hallucination, but after worshipping my godmother, I came home and told my grandfather about it.
Grandpa didn't say anything, so he told me not to go near the old house in the future, and remember to burn incense on the second day of every month in the future. But whenever I want to go in to see my grandfather, as soon as I walk to the door, whether it is early in the morning or in the middle of the night, my grandfather's stern scolding will suddenly come out of the house, telling me that I am not allowed to go in without his permission!
Since then, although I have lived with my grandfather, I have never met him.
The second month that Grandpa and I stopped seeing each other. At that time, I was at school, and except for being at home in the morning and evening, the rest of the time was either at school, or going out to play around, or burning incense for my godmother.
Even the opportunity to talk to grandpa gradually decreased.
However, that month was the hardest month for me, and a foul stench began to emanate from my grandfather's room, which smelled like the stench of a dead person!
I even thought my grandfather was dead and wanted to run in to see what was going on.
But it was still the same as before, and as soon as I arrived at the door, I was scolded by my grandfather and walked away.
The smell lasted for a month or two, and since Grandpa's voice sounded normal, I didn't suspect anything else.
A few years have passed in a blink of an eye, I am eighteen years old and have entered my third year of high school, but my grandfather and I have not seen each other in these years! For the past few years, Grandpa's voice has been normal.
When I was in high school, I only spent the night at home on Fridays and Saturdays, went to school on Sunday afternoons, and didn't talk to my grandfather.
I never felt anything wrong with my grandfather, after all, I got used to it.
The only thing that seems strange is that no one has ever seen my grandfather go out, but every week when I come home, I find that the house is very clean.
And there will be a lot of delicious food in the kitchen, which is very fresh, as if it was specially prepared for me to welcome me home.
Most of these things are game, such as rabbits, wild vegetables, etc.
I don't know if the rabbits are wild, but I am very familiar with these wild vegetables, and there are the most around the old house in the back mountain!
No, it should be that my "godmother" is very lush around me, and every time I go to burn incense, I have to get a lot of it when I go home.
There are the most wild vegetables in the village, and it is said that sometimes the villagers can't help but pick them.
However, some people say that if you eat wild vegetables over there, you will get sick!
People have eaten strange diseases, animals have even had bizarre deaths!
I was puzzled at the time, why didn't I eat anything alone?
I also asked my grandfather if he made the things in the kitchen, but every time he mentioned the topic, he was silent and didn't answer me.
This kind of life changed completely until I was on summer vacation.
From the first night of summer vacation, there are always some dense footsteps at the door of my house!
Sometimes it's like some people kowtowing to my door, but every time I open the door and go out, I can't see anything!
During the day, I often find snakes, weasels, hedgehogs, foxes, rats in front of my house......
Almost every time they saw me, they would disappear in an instant.
I once even saw a rat standing upright in the doorway like a human, prostrating to the location of my grandfather's room! This scene frightened me, and I quickly ran into the house and told my grandfather about it.
Grandpa's voice came from the house as usual.
"Ghost, what time is it today?"
"Grandpa, today is August 13." I replied.
"Oh, in two days, you should go burn incense for your godmother." Grandpa said. "Grandpa, I remember, you don't have to remind me every time." I don't think grandpa will answer the question I just said, and there should be something hidden from me.
Grandpa was silent for a long time before his voice came out:
"Ah ghost, I'm afraid this is the last time grandpa reminds you, grandpa is leaving, I can hold on to you for eight years, the people below are already very dissatisfied, there are some things, grandpa should also tell you, you have to remember!"
