The furnishings are very simple, except for a few simple pieces of old furniture, which may be so old that you can barely see the original paint.

The old lady put the kerosene lamp in the lamp socket on the wall, and the room was much darker because the lamp socket was shading.

The so-called "lamp nest" is to cut a deep pit in the wall, and the wall is not cut through, just enough to put the oil lamp firmly into it.

The biggest advantage of the lamp nest is that if you accidentally knock over the kerosene lamp, it is easy to catch fire, and with a lamp nest, it will avoid causing a fire.

In addition, the lamp nest is very wind-shielding and is not easy to be blown out by the wind brought in by opening and closing the door.

Although the lamp nest is simple but contains great wisdom, in the tide of history, there are many things gradually replaced by new things, survival of the fittest is a symbol of social development and progress.

The old lady motioned for Suoba to sit on the chair opposite her, and secondly, Suo Ba was indeed tired from running around for half a night, so he sat down heavily on the chair.

As soon as his ass touched the chair, there was a "creaking" sound from under his buttocks, and then Suoba's body shook.

He was afraid that the chair would fall apart, so he didn't dare to sit too solidly, and he was quite guilty of sitting empty, but he had to endure it.

The old lady patted the edge of the kang: "That chair is broken, you better sit here!" ”

Suoba glanced at the old lady's hand, which was as dry as an old elm tree, without a trace of blood, and he was so frightened that he almost fell from his chair.

Suo Ba was puzzled: "My mother! Is this a human hand? ”

The old lady saw that Suo Ba did not move, and did not say anything more.

She sat cross-legged on the edge of the kang and picked up the large cigarette pouch on the kang.

I pinched some dry tobacco leaves in the cigarette box and stuffed them into the tobacco bag and pot in one go.

Holding the cigarette pouch in her toothless mouth, she pointed the cigarette pouch pot against the flame of the kerosene lamp to light the fire.

The old lady may have Parkinson's syndrome, and she shivered for a long time before she lit her cigarette pouch at the flame, and began to smoke her big cigarette pouch.

Sitting closer, Suo Ba also saw the old lady's dignity clearly, this old face looked pale and powerless only to describe it as terrifying.

Suo Ba only glanced at him and was so frightened that he shrank his neck, and quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to face it again.

The old lady was like a dried corpse, without the appearance of a living person at all.

Those who don't know think she just popped out of the grave, or more like she came out of the pyramids of ancient Egypt.

There is no meat on the top and bottom of the body, but a layer of old skin is supported by a pair of bone racks.

The old face was wrinkled and wrinkled like the bark of an old elm tree, and it was cracked and dry.

The brain melon door is high and promising, the eyes are deep, a pair of loose eyelids are drooping, and there is only a narrow slit in both eyes, and the eyeballs are barely visible.

The most creepy thing is the way she looks when she smokes, and when she smokes in her mouth, her cheeks are pumped into two deep pits.

Then, like a toad calling, it slowly puffed out two large bags, and then spit out a thick puff of smoke.

She's really an old smoker, and she's been doing a consistent inhalation and exhalation movement.

The strange old lady didn't speak, and smoked a cigarette; While looking Suo Ba up and down, he kept nodding his head, and sometimes a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Suo Ba took a peek and saw the old woman's ghostly smile, and he saw that Suo Ba was covered in straight hair.

The strange old lady may be afraid that the tobacco will go out; It may also be because she is too addicted to smoking, so she snorts one after another harder, salivating along the cigarette holder, and it falls on the placket of her clothes, which makes people look disgusting.

The hut was not big, and the doors and windows were closed, and after a while, the whole house was full of smoke, and Suo Ba couldn't help it, and he coughed lightly twice.

The strange old lady saw that Suo Ba was choking on her cigarette and coughing, so she stopped talking.

The large tobacco pouch pot slammed twice under the edge of the kang, and the soot scattered from the smoke pot to the ground as it moved.

"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"

The old lady accompanied her trembling head, and her voice trembled.

The strange old lady's voice was slightly hoarse, and she always spoke in a long tone, and the last word of each sentence rose upward.

If you listen to her with your eyes closed, this voice will make you think that she is a eunuch who is neither male nor female, which is very uncomfortable.

"I'm lost."

Suo Ba really didn't want to talk to her more, and he didn't want to tell her the truth. So only these four words were said vaguely.

"Lost? It's no wonder, there is a hairy moon dirty today, at this time the dirty things love to haunt, I'm afraid that you meet a ghost hitting the wall, those unjust ghosts and ghosts are looking for some people with heavy yin energy, it's not trivial, it's not trivial! ”

The "hairy moon" in the old lady's mouth means that there are no clouds in the sky, and the moon is very hazy and flickering.

It is said that this dark moonlit night is the favorite time for lonely spirits and wild ghosts to come out and hang out.

In some rural areas, such a ballad is circulated: "Mao Moon, fierce ghosts appear, dolls don't go out, adults don't run around, lights out, closed doors, a family of old and young security is peaceful." ”

That is to say, whenever there is a hairy moon, evil spirits will haunt, and it is safest to hide at home.

The song sounds creepy, so every time the hairy moon appears, the countryside will close its doors and windows and never come out again.

Just imagine, the sky is dark, there is not a single star in sight, walking alone in the barren mountains and mountains, looking up and suddenly seeing a full moon full with white hair hanging in the sky, who will not have a trace of fear in their hearts?

Although some people don't believe in evil very much, in the face of this bizarre scene that is rarely seen in ordinary times, coupled with the mythical legends, it is inevitable that they can't suppress the fear and awe of ghosts in their hearts.

Listening to what the old lady said just now, Suo Ba couldn't help but sneak a glance out the window.

Through the yellowed window paper, he could vaguely see the flickering of the hairy moon, and he could faintly hear the howl of the lynx beast in the distance, which reminded him of the mass grave, and he still had lingering palpitations in his heart.

Suoba is a person who loves face extremely, how could he lose his share in front of an old lady?

If the strange old lady sees that he is afraid, if this is spread out, how can he Suo Ba still mix in the rivers and lakes?

Suo Ba thinks that he is also the number one person in the rivers and lakes, and he must not let an old woman look at him through the crack in the door!

Therefore, he immediately pretended to be calm again, shook his shoulders, straightened his waist, and coughed lightly, which was regarded as a boost for himself.

Suo Ba pretended not to care and said, "What Maoyue edamame?" The eighth master is afraid of his ball? If the male ghost comes, I will get rid of him, and it will be regarded as the people's elimination of harm, and if I meet a female ghost, Lord Ben Belle will arrest her back and let her be a ghost bride for me, wouldn't it be beautiful to die. ”

The old lady had long seen that Suo Ba was a boiled duck, and he was left with a hard mouth, but in fact, he was very scared in his heart.

So the old lady said disdainfully: "Since you are not afraid of ghosts in this future life!" God, then you can go! My wife is too lazy to entertain you! ”

As soon as Suo Bayi saw that the old lady had given an eviction order, he couldn't sit still, he didn't expect this old lady to be so foolish, he said that if you are not afraid, you will believe it!

In the past, Suo Ba was really not afraid of ghosts, but recently there have been so many crooked things in a row, and he can't help but be puzzled.

Soba thinks that Maria may also have fallen into evil, otherwise he was brought here.

Maria was able to disappear out of thin air right under his nose, which was also so strange that it had to be said to be very weird.

Suo Ba looked at his thumb and remembered what Lao Dao had said, so he patted his head and scolded himself in the bottom of his heart.

Why don't you listen to the old way? The wrench may really have the effect of warding off evil spirits and driving away evil spirits.

If Suoba had been wearing a wrench, he would definitely not have stayed with the dead old lady for a moment.

Looking at her extremely ugly face, Suoba felt more terrible than her mother's ghosts.

Weighing the pros and cons Suo Ba really can't leave here, although the old lady in front of her looks scary, but after all, she is still a person, this is going to meet a real ghost, it is much more scary than this old lady, at least she won't hurt him Suo Ba.

He secretly made up his mind that he couldn't leave anything, and that he would have to spend half the night here tonight.

So Suo Ba smiled and said: "Auntie, I still won't leave tonight, it's not that I'm afraid of meeting dirty things, it's just that I'm too tired, so I'll be in the middle of the night!" I'll leave early tomorrow morning, bothered, bothered. ”

Suo Ba was full of smiles, and he didn't know which monkey he learned from in the trick, so he held his fists in both hands and shook the old lady.

The old lady said with a blank face: "Yes! You go to Westinghouse! There are bedding, the old woman is old, she can't do the work, the bedding has not been washed for a long time, it may be a little dirty, you can make do with it! ”

Suo Baxin thought of this time, and he was picky about six cakes! You can stay and live, the pigsty, the kennel, Lao Tzu has never lived in the dirty place.

You're nothing compared to those places, and I'm afraid of a bird.

The old lady refers to the westernmost house, in the Northeast ordinary people generally have two or three rooms, into the house is the kitchen, and then the bedroom.

The old lady's house has three rooms, with a kitchen in the middle and a bedroom on the east and west sides.

There is nothing in the West House except a kang, it may be that it is extremely humid all year round, and the house is fishy and smelly, which is worse than the smell in the pigsty.

It seems that the kang has not burned for a long time, and Suoba reached out to touch a handful of cold and icy ones.

Is the quilt on the kang a little dirty? The futon was covered with clay, and it was almost impossible to see its true colors.

This self-proclaimed Lord Belle was lying down in clothes, with a broken quilt on his body, and his eyes were closed with his head resting on his hands.

Suo Ba, who usually dips his pillow on his head, actually learned insomnia tonight, for a homeless man like him, it is impossible to recognize the bed.

He was always uneasy in his heart, his eyelids were pounding, and he always felt that something bad was going to happen.
