Chapter 22 Old Mrs. Jiao

Xiaobing asked me, do you remember Mrs. Jiao? I couldn't help but smile when I heard it, of course I remembered that Mrs. Jiao was my neighbor and Xiaobing, who also lived at the foot of Beishan, the old lady was short-tempered and quarreled every day, and the old and young masters of the whole village had fought each other, and my grandmother was honest and honest, and she was not less angry.

There is a mountain spring on this north mountain, which flows out of the mountain and gathers into a small stream, which flows to the bottom of the mountain for those of us who live under the mountain to eat, Mrs. Jiao's house is close to the mountain spring, and she lives in the first house of the mountain root, she and her wife privately changed the course of this small stream, which flows through her vegetable garden and becomes the river in her yard, for her to water the ground, wash her feet and then flow downstream, so that we can use it. I was twelve years old at the time, and I was so angry with Xiaobing that we blocked the water outlet outside her yard at night, and the next day, Mrs. Jiao's vegetable garden was completely flooded, the slippers in the house were all floating, and the dogs were almost drowning. I had a good time with Xiaobing, and I was called by Mrs. Jiao, who didn't ask about it, and admitted that I and Xiaobing did it, and I was really young at that time, and we both knew that we were wrong, and we didn't refute much, Xiaobing was beaten three streets by Mrs. Jiao holding the soles of her shoes, and I was beaten by my grandmother. Later, we stole her chickens, and in short, this old lady made us toss. Hearing Xiaobing mention him, I suddenly remembered a lot of happy times in the past, and laughed unconsciously, but Xiaobing didn't say a word.

When I had laughed enough, Xiao Bing continued: "In the third year of your departure, Mrs. Jiao died, and the people in the village are real, no matter what contradictions there are during your lifetime, people die greatly, and the villagers will go over to see them off, and I will accompany my grandmother."

Mrs. Jiao has three sons, all of whom work in the city, and the funeral is very beautiful, and there are many cars in the city. In the evening, after the villagers finished drinking, they wanted to leave a few young men to help build the funeral shed, and I, Lei Zi, and Xiaolin stayed there to help keep vigil. The mourning sheds in the village are all built with canvas, with a few wires pulled inside, a few light bulbs, and a mourning hall inside, where Mrs. Jiao's coffin is placed, surrounded by wreaths.

The vigil was boring, a few of us set a table on the side, and the two grandsons of the old Jiao family, who rushed back from other places, brought a few boxes of beer, put on the cooked food left over from the day, and a few people were drinking and chatting over there.

These two grandsons grew up in the city, so they didn't have any feelings with Mrs. Jiao, and after a few bottles of wine, they actually talked about haunted things. Xiao Lin, the two fools, also owed their mouths, and chatted about the legend of the cat-faced old lady, and the two grandsons nodded again and again, "Well, we have also heard that this cat-faced old lady bites people everywhere and sucks people's blood. Xiao Lin continued, "You are not listening to the official version, this is an old lady died, stopped in the spirit shed, and a cat jumped past the corpse, the old lady suddenly fell out of the body, and then quietly got up, at that time, ah, those few guardians were still drinking, and they were all bitten to death by the corpse of the cat-faced old lady, and the blood was drained. The old lady was half a cat face, half a wrinkled human face, her body was like a ghost, she walked like electricity, and it was said that she could run from the northeast to the capital in one night. Xiao Lin took a sip of wine and continued, "I heard that the cat bit off half of the corpse's face, and the old lady bit the cat's neck with the first bite, and the blood was sucked dry." "Xiao Lin, these two fools spoke vividly, and scared the two grandsons enough, but I think it is inappropriate to tell ghost stories in this place, a bit disrespectful to the dead, especially since the deceased is also an old lady.

I was bored to hear this, so I got up and went out to pee, strange to say, there was not even a moon that night, but fortunately there were many light bulbs in the shed, and the lights were bright, so I took advantage of the light to go to the side of the mourning shed, and took off my pants in a woods on the side. I just peed halfway, and suddenly heard someone coming behind me, I thought someone was coming to pee, so I moved to the side to make way, which Cheng thought I moved, and actually stepped on a soft thing, and then there was a terrible cat meow.

The sound of stepping on the cat's tail vibrates all the way to the deepest part of your brain, as if your brain is shaking. I was so frightened that I lifted my pants and ran back, in a panic I seemed to bump into the people around me, I didn't have time to say sorry, I ran to the shed in a panic, Xiaolin and a few of them were still drinking and bragging, seeing me running in a panic, they hurriedly got up and asked me what happened. I gasped and said, "I stepped on the cat's tail just now, and the cat barked miserably, didn't you hear it?" Xiaolin, they shook their heads and said they didn't hear.

I widened my eyes and said it couldn't be, I was urinating on the edge of this shed, and someone went to pee just now, standing next to me, don't you believe him. As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Xiao Lin and their faces were strange.

"None of us went out just now, and we're all drinking here."

"And who did I bump into?" The white-haired sweat brush on my back stood up. I counted carefully, and sure enough, Xiaolin, Lei Zi, and those two grandsons, they all sat in their original positions and did not move, so who was standing next to me just now?

Seeing that my face was pale, a few of them didn't think it was a joke, so they hurriedly stood up and walked straight to the coffin, the coffin was no different, and the candle flame in the mourning hall was normal, Lei Zi laughed at me: "You heard them tell ghost stories to scare out the hallucinations" But when I ran just now, the hit was indeed very real, I shook my head, and my eyes inadvertently glanced at the black and white portrait of Mrs. Jiao, and the old Mrs. Jiao in the photo seemed to smile at me.

My eyes widened, and I grabbed the thunderbolt and said, "She seems to be smiling." ”

Lei Zi was taken aback by my expression, looked back for a long time and said, "You drank too much, this old lady didn't like to laugh when she was alive, do you look smiling in this photo?" When I looked at it again, the old Mrs. Jiao in the photo had a serious expression again, as if she was still chasing me with the soles of her shoes back then.

When I got home, I couldn't fall asleep in bed, and in a trance, I actually got off the ground, wearing only a single coat, and walked barefoot into a small alley. The alley was dark, and there seemed to be a lot of fences around it, and I reached out to touch it, but I couldn't touch the fence that was very close. I looked back, I couldn't see the door behind me, I turned around again, and suddenly there was an old lady in front of me, wearing a golden dress, with a long hem, dragging on the ground, I couldn't see my feet, and when I looked up again, it turned out to be Mrs. Jiao, she was looking at me and laughing, her eyes were crooked, her mouth was slanted, she smiled strangely and walked towards me, reached out to touch my head, the dry fingers were like branches. I was so frightened that I turned around and ran, but I felt that my legs were like lead, and I couldn't run fast, and Mrs. Jiao was chasing after me, and slowly she caught up with me, and suddenly, a light was lit up in front of me, and I ran desperately towards that light, and the sharp nails had touched my back, and there was already a hoarse laugh in my ears like the friction of iron, and I shouted and sat up suddenly.

Although it was a dream, I also fell seriously ill later, and I couldn't find any problems when I went to the hospital, but I was cold, shivering, and my body was hot. My mother didn't have a recruitment, so I invited Aunt Ji, who is the most famous local doctor of dirty diseases, to show her, Aunt Ji asked my mother to scramble two eggs, bring a bottle of wine, and when she caught up with the first seven, she went to the grave of Mrs. Jiao to talk about it, as if it was because we said some disrespectful words in front of her spirit, which made her unhappy, and she was reluctant to work her grandson, and she didn't look down on me when she was alive, so she was angry with me. It's strange to say, after my mother finished talking, I was not cold immediately, but my shoulder hurt badly, I said that I seemed to have bumped into someone that day, Aunt Ji asked me where I hit it, I pointed to my shoulder, Aunt Ji took a few silver needles, and kept inserting them into my shoulder, the long silver needle only showed a head, and when I pulled it out again, the blood on the tip of the needle turned black, so I pricked it several times in a row, and I shed a small half bowl of black blood, my shoulder is good, but as for who it was, Aunt Ji never said.

As he spoke, the soldier touched his shoulder with his hand, as if he still had palpitations. In such a night, in this wilderness, whether it is true or not, this thing is terrifying to hear.

"You mean, there really are ghosts in this world?" I asked the creeps.

"What do you think can be from my own experience?" The little soldier said. I was speechless for a moment, it is true that what the little soldier experienced was too strange, but it is also common in the countryside, and I had similar things happen when I was a child, and there seems to be no scientific proof now. The two of us rolled up the quilt, didn't say anything for a while, and each thought about what was on our minds.

The wind is cool in the middle of the night, although it is a summer night, but this bunker is on the top of the mountain, needless to say, although we are sitting in the bunker, but here is full of wind, plus tossing for a night, the stomach and chest are close to the back, I feel my body twitching and shaking hard.

I stretched out my leg and kicked the creep, "Sleeping? I'm cold and hungry, why don't we go out and find something to eat, I remember there's fruit in this tree, right? ”

"It's so dark, can you see it? The lights are dark. The little soldier tilted his head and said.

"Why don't we go down the mountain, just take advantage of the dark, otherwise tomorrow at dawn, we will go down the mountain without bad clothes, and we won't let people laugh to death?" When Xiao Bing heard this, he sat up on the ground, "Yes, I am also a well-known figure in this village, how many little daughters-in-law still think about me, I have to pay attention to my image." The gloom on the soldier's face was swept away, and he brushed his already small hair with his hand.

I looked at the sky, the moonlight was clear, and the forest was clearly illuminated, "Let's go, let's go down this road, I guess it's okay." The soldier stood up, rolled up half of the quilt around him, and together we got out of the bunker, picked up two sticks that were arm thick, and walked down the hill like a flower.
