If I am not mistaken, and assuming that the little boy was frightened and cried in the hall just now, and all this is not because of "ghosts", then the first words of the child when he wakes up at this moment seem particularly abnormal.

The reason why he asked me if I was a ghost was because he was in his consciousness that he had seen a ghost?

Generally speaking, people who have lost their souls, especially children, basically can't remember what happened after the soul returns to the body, this situation is a bit like a normal person's coma state, there will be a gap in the memory for a period of time, except to use other people's narration to fill in the memory loss during this time, there is no way to recall it.

So I secretly kept my mind, but I didn't say anything. After all, I should be the most knowledgeable one among all the people present, the only dead person present is Old Man Wang, if the child collides with the dead person because he entered the hall, and then everything just now happens, this possibility is still very great.

Seeing that the child is getting better, everyone is relieved. It's just that I noticed that the third child's expression has been a little trance-like. The eldest daughter-in-law said to the third child, otherwise take the child to sleep at home, she should be tired after tossing for so long just now. The third child nodded in agreement, but walked up to me, held my hand and thanked me. I said it's nothing, it's a small thing, because of your trust that the child's time has not been delayed. The third child was a little hesitant, she thought for a while and said to me, little brother, can you go to my brother's house with me to talk?

Actually, I roughly knew what she wanted to say, because she also looked frightened just now, and such a person who didn't believe in ghosts and gods agreed to me without the slightest hesitation when I proposed to use the Tao to save the child, and she was probably a little aware of it. So I looked around, and although the child had been saved, the people around me were still talking about it, and from their eyes, some of the people were talking about me. I am still a little worried in my heart, after all, I promised Aunt Xu to act in a low-key manner, but after this stubble, I am afraid that I will not be able to hide it. My only worry is that because of my relationship, it has affected my aunt and uncle's family.

I didn't think too much about it at the moment, so I followed the third child into the boss's house. After the eldest daughter-in-law led the child to the bedside, she left the house and continued to help her man with the affairs of the mourning hall. The third child was left sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his child's hand. The child kept squinting at me secretly, and then asked the third child tremblingly, Mom, is this person really not a ghost? The third child said, don't worry, kid, this big brother is helping, he is not a ghost, there are no ghosts in this world. After speaking, the third child looked at me with his eyes and nodded slightly, apologies for his words.

From her actions, I can almost judge that although she said this to the child, at this moment, she actually believes it in her own heart. After all, the child is still young, and after experiencing this incident, I am afraid that I will be scared for a long time, so try to coax the child and get out of the shadows as soon as possible. So I smiled and asked the kid, "Little brother, why did you just say I'm a ghost?" Am I that ugly?

Half of the child's face was hidden in the quilt, and then he told me a little timidly, because... Because I saw a lot of ghosts just now, and their voices sounded scary, and they didn't look good, and then I cried, and then I saw your face, so I thought you were ghosts too.

I was shocked: see a lot of ghosts? What's going on?

Then I asked the child, "Where did you see those demons?" Don't be afraid to tell your brother, who will help you clean them up. The child said that I was playing in the room where my grandfather was kept, but I saw that the room inside the door was dark, but there were some people who seemed to be walking, and their heads were shaking from side to side. At first I thought it was my uncle, so I went to the door to look, but at this moment an old woman suddenly and quickly came up to me, about the same distance as when I saw you, and she looked very sad as if she were crying. I was startled, but when I saw that the old woman was very pitiful, I was about to take her out to ask my uncle for help, and at this time the old woman began to grab my shoulders and squeeze hard, and said some words loudly that I didn't understand, and the pinching hurt me, so I was scared, so I cried, and when I cried, I saw that the people in the room were all swaying towards me, and they looked terrible, some of their faces were crooked, and one had a big mouth, with their mouth open and their chin hanging down to their chest, and their tongues were still very long...

This is so abnormal, if the child is not lying, what is going on with so many ghosts gathered together? I turned my head to look at the clothes that the child was hanging on the edge of the bed because he was sleeping, it was a padded jacket, because the season was already very cold, and the countryside was sparsely populated, and it was colder than in the city. The child said that the crying old woman had grabbed his shoulder, so I reached out and rolled up the sleeves of the child's underwear, and found that on both shoulders, there were finger marks that had been grabbed and bruised.

When the third child saw this scene, he covered his mouth and couldn't help crying. So I asked the child, what do you remember about what happened later? The child said that he cried and the ghosts screamed, and then his mother and uncle came, and then I opened my eyes and saw you.

So I realized that the child met the ghost in a sober state, and when he was rescued by the parents, he also cried all the time, indicating that at least at that time, he was only frightened, but he was not scared to the point of losing his soul. However, when he convulsed and fell, it was one of the ghosts who took over his body and squeezed out his soul. Because when I send the child's soul back, according to his breathing and the movement of the smoke, I can detect the ghost in his body leaving, this situation is actually the same thing as ghost possession, but what I don't understand is why the child's body is occupied by the ghost, the state and habits of the ghost itself do not appear, but as if fainting, motionless. And when he opened his eyes again, I was in front of him, so he confused me with the ghosts he had seen before, and then he asked me if I was a ghost.

I thought it was because the child was mischievous and ran into the ghost of the newly deceased, which caused all this. Although this is a child, after all, he is ten years old, and it stands to reason that he can distinguish between the living and the dead, at least not to the point of messing around on his grandfather's coffin. Now, it doesn't seem that simple. So I said to the third child, I'm waiting outside the door, you put the child to sleep first, and then let's talk.

I waited outside the door for about twenty minutes before the third child came out. At this time, it was already past 12 o'clock, the second half of the time of the child, and the wakes in the countryside generally speaking, even if they had watched the time, most of the people at the funeral had left, and the rest were close relatives and friends, and it seemed that they were probably going to keep a night vigil.

When the third child came out, he looked haggard, and his hands were clasped around his arms, so I couldn't tell whether he was scared or cold. She said to me, thank you little brother today, I am in a trance now, you also heard what my son said just now, he saw it in my father's mourning hall, and I testified to him, because I also saw it. But it's still a little different from what he sees, not as detailed as him.

I asked her, "What do you see?" The third said, I saw my son surrounded by a large black mist, those black mists looked like human shapes, I couldn't see if those things were the kind of expression my son said, and then my brother and they came in, those things disappeared in an instant.

I said to the third child, that is to say, what you see intuitively tells you that those are ghosts, but because you don't believe it, you suddenly see it and you are frightened, so you also scream, right? She shook her head and said no, although she was scared to see the black mist, but she didn't scream because of it.

I asked her, "So what are you screaming for?" The third child's expression showed resistance and uneasiness, she looked around, and then said to me tremblingly, I saw my father's coffin lid, and it was pushed open.
