Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Ghost Temple
"Hey! Fool Rui, why don't you leave? Are you scared? Well, if you don't want to go, kneel on the ground and kowtow to us three times, and call me grandpa......"
I clenched my fists, stopped looking at the locust tree, and continued walking towards the temple.
The sun went down, the sun was drowning in darkness, the moon disappeared behind the clouds, and the countryside at night was so dark that it was so black that you couldn't see your fingers.
All my mind was on the ghost temple, and I didn't notice that the sky was so abnormal at this time, and almost nothing went from bright day to dark night.
The dilapidated temple stood in the darkness, silent, silent.
The children behind him were not very old, and they began to be afraid.
"IāI'm going home for dinner......"
"Me too, it's late to go back, my mother is going to scold my ......"
"Then I'll go back first."
"Wait for me ......"
They were like headless flies, and they were gone.
It's just me and the big head.
The big head walked up to me, his eyes flashing with an unknown light, and he said in a rough voice, "Go in!" You said you want to go in and sleep, you won't dare to do it! I'm not wrong, you're a coward, a wreck! ā
"I'm not!" I shouted, and ran quickly towards the ghost temple.
After entering the temple, I saw the headless sculpture in the middle, its body was covered with cobwebs and dust, and there was a copper basin in front of it, something was burning in it, and in front of the copper basin were melons, fruits and vegetables and a few steamed buns.
Someone has just been worshipping here.
In the flickering flames, I breathed a sigh of relief, where there is flame, there is light, at least it is not dark here.
Suddenly, I felt a chill down my spine, as if someone was watching me from behind!
I turned stiffly, and by the light of the fire, I saw a man standing in the doorway.
He was not very large, with a snot snot and a clotted nose on his garlic nose.
He tilted his head and gave me a strange smile, his eyes full of schadenfreude.
It's a big head!
I suddenly realized that it was not good, and I turned around and was about to run outside, but unfortunately, it was too late.
The big head clasped his hands together and slammed the temple door shut.
There was a loud bang, causing dust to gargle and fall, and my eardrums to buzz.
The voice of the big head came from outside the door: "Hahaha, stupid Rui, you just stay inside." I heard that the ghost temple is full of ghosts, and when you are eaten by ghosts, I will become Gong Yiyu's best friend, hehehaha......"
It wasn't until this time that I realized that the big head didn't want to be friends with me at all, he didn't want to accept me at all, he was just jealous that I had a good relationship with Gong Yiyu, and he deliberately let me come into the ghost temple just to let me die, and then become friends with Gong Yiyu.
The child's thoughts are innocent and cruel, fierce and vicious.
Just because of hatred and jealousy, you will put people to death.
I pushed the door with all my strength, but I couldn't do it.
The big head must have pinned the door from the outside.
"Don't waste your efforts, I'll notify your family tomorrow to collect your body!"
The sound of the big head grew farther and farther away, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
He left here.
I sat down next to the copper basin and stared blankly at the flames in the copper basin.
I was so sad and angry that I wanted to prove that I wasn't a coward by staying here for one night.
Then, when I leave here tomorrow, I'll go to the big boss and settle scores, beat him up, and then ignore him again.
In the future, I'll only play with Gong Yiyu, and leave them alone!
The flames in the copper basin danced and burned for a while, but showed no signs of abating.
After the initial panic, I was not so scared.
I picked up a dead branch from the ground and put it in the copper basin and pulled it up.
What was burning inside the copper basin was a bouncy black thing, and I couldn't tell what it was.
I was feeling strange when I suddenly heard a voice outside.
"After going in for a while, you can do whatever I tell you to do, and if you find anything abnormal, you don't see it, do you understand?"
"Understood, understood."
I should have asked for help, but then I thought that if I was found out now, I would definitely not be able to spend the night in the ghost temple, and I would definitely have to fight when I got home.
And the kids will continue to laugh at me.
Anyway, now that someone is coming, I'm not afraid.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly hid behind the statue.
As soon as I got to the back, I looked at a small hedgehog.
When the hedgehog saw me, he bared his teeth at me.
I have heard that hedgehogs are protective immortals, friendly to people, and responsive to requests.
When I saw it today, it was actually a rumor.
The hedgehog is obviously fierce!
I bared my teeth at it, then moved to the other side, listening carefully to the movement outside.
"After such a while, why don't you close the door, should it be ......?"
"Shut up! Just after reminding you, you're talking nonsense right here! Ghosts and gods are not strange, no monsters! ā
The door of the ghost temple creaked and opened.
I peered through the gap and looked out.
I saw a famous goddess in the village walking in with Li Dazhu's daughter-in-law Ma Xiulian.
Ma Xiulian looks good, but her life is not good.
When his parents died when he was a child, he was picked up by Li Dazhu's mother and used as a child daughter-in-law.
Carrying water, chopping wood, farming, feeding pigs and chickens, housework and farm work, and washing the whole family's clothes in winter, my mother said that she was pitiful, and she was abused by Li Dazhu's family.
Li Dazhu was submissive, he was angry outside, he didn't even dare to let out a fart, and when he went home, he beat Ma Xiulian out of anger, and almost beat Ma Xiulian to death several times.
If it weren't for the village party secretary who came forward and didn't allow Li Dazhu to make trouble, Ma Xiulian might have died a long time ago.
Ma Xiulian and Li Dazhu have been married for ten years, but they have no children yet, and many people are laughing at Li Dazhu behind their backs, saying that he can't give birth and is not a man.
Ma Xiulian has drunk a lot of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine over the years, but her stomach has not moved.
Li Dazhu went out every day to fool around with the widow in the west of the village, and Ma Xiulian washed her face with tears all day long.
Li Dazhu's mother cried so much that she only said that she had harmed the Li family and wanted to cut off her children and grandchildren.
Although Ma Xiulian has been treated harshly by the Li family over the years, Li Dazhu's mother can be regarded as her mother and raised her.
She has a deep affection for the Li family.
She thought about it, her own life, where is it important to continue the incense for the Li family.
So, she went to the goddess and said that no matter what the price, she wanted a boy.
Now, the goddess took Ma Xiulian into the ghost temple.
The ghost temple was very quiet, there was not even the sound of the wind, only the flames in the copper basin were burning, making a "crackling" sound.
The goddess was dressed in black clothes and cloth shoes, and her hair was combed into a bun pinned to the back of her head, neat but dull.
