Chapter 12: Two Stories
The old man was also a little shy, and returned to his seat from the chair with a smile on his face. Turning their eyes to Zhang Ying's face, Zhang Ying and Liu Qing were looking at him with expectant eyes, as if it was early
I'm already waiting for him to speak. Many women are like this, they are obviously afraid of ghosts, and they don't even dare to watch ghost movies alone, but they like to listen to ghost stories and the like.
Zhang Ying said: "Old man, can you start talking?"
The old man took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, this ghost story was also told to me by an old grandmother when I was a child.
The old lady was a very kind and talkative person, and I also helped him sweep the grave, and she told me three ghost stories in one go, one of which she had personally experienced. It's about her being old
Accompany. Now I'll talk about her in the first person. "It's been seven years since my wife died, and seven years ago, our family was very poor, we didn't have enough to eat and not have enough clothes," she said. The poor can't even buy kerosene
So at night, our whole family can only touch the dark, even if we want to go to the toilet, we can only use a dry bamboo pole to break into a torch and light it. He was sick and had no money for treatment
, seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, the whole family hopes that he can survive and survive until the New Year, but he failed to survive after all.
He died on the night of the 28th day of the lunar month, there was no light or flashlight in the house, and our family lived in the mountains, and it was a two-hour walk to find someone. So that night
How long and frightening the night is for our family, but fortunately there are many children at home. You and I finally stayed up until dawn, and the next day was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and I was the only one left at home
steamed a few catties of bread and grains, and at the same time asked the boss to invite a Taoist priest to give him a simple excess, and then he went into the soil for peace. I gave Mr. Taoist two yellow cakes, and put the rest away
Upstairs, because there are many children, I am afraid that they will steal it, so the yellow cake is left for the New Year. It was almost twelve o'clock that night, and we heard the sound of eating yellow cake upstairs, my daughter
Er Xiao'e insisted that his father was back and was eating yellow cake upstairs, and I listened to the sound like he was usually hungry and eating, gobbling it up. Because I was afraid, I kept comforting me
My daughter may be a rat stealing food, you must know that there are absolutely no rats in my house, because even rats can't find food.
The next day, at dawn on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, we went upstairs to see a scene that made me feel sad and surprised at the same time, the yellow jaw was really bitten twice, and his front teeth were one big and one small
, there happened to be his tooth marks on it. I think he must have been hungry, so he became a hungry ghost and came back just to get something to eat. She was crying when she said this
became a tearful man. This old woman has passed away and is buried next to his wife's grave, half a kilometer from my house and turning right. The old man took another sip after speaking
Tea.
Several male team members looked serious, but Liu Qing and Zhang Ying were in tears when they heard it, it was the first time they heard a ghost story and shed tears, because they felt that ghost stories were also sad. old man
said: "It seems that the two girls are also temperamental, and they will shed tears when they listen to the story, probably because they think the protagonist of this story is too miserable, right?"
"Let the old man smile," Zhang Ying and Liu Qing replied embarrassedly. The old man smiled: "Where, the two girls are kind-hearted, they should be praised." Then I'll start with a new one about dragons
The story of the woman, this story is not so sad. ”
"Okay, old man, please, we can't wait to hear it. ”
The old man began to say: "There is a river in Xiagouba, but the main source of water for this river is the mountains and rivers in the rainy season, so there is not much water in normal times, and people call it the dry river." dry
There is a section of the river that is never short of water, because there is a big pool there, and people call it Dragon Pond. The dragon pond is very deep, and the water is green. It is said that there is a real dragon inside, as well as a dragon girl. A few
When the clothes of a single young man are torn, he will put them in a basket and put them on the shore of Longtan, and the clothes will be mended the next day. And the needlework is good, and the clothes are being mended
place embroidered with small fish. People have said that it was the dragon girl who made up for it. After a long time, two thugs wanted to peek at the true face of the dragon girl, so they put a few pieces of pore clothes in the basket.
But they didn't leave. Hiding under a big tree to peek at the dragon girl if she would come and take away her clothes, sure enough, they saw the water surging and slowly three people emerged from the water, and the three people walked
Wherever they went, the water would automatically avoid them, and even their clothes could not be wet, and there were two small dragon horns on the head in the middle, which was the beautiful dragon girl, and a maid on the left and right followed.
They moved lightly and slowly walked to the shore of Longtan, the two maids bowed down to pick up the rags in the basket, the dragon girl smoke flowed, and looked around, it was a pair of affectionate veins, crystal
With crystal eyes, and looking at the dragon girl's impeccable curvy figure, it seems that the beauty that women should have is occupied by her. Looking at these two little thugs, their eyes were straight and their expressions were in a daze.
When the dragon girl was about to leave, the two little gangsters immediately rushed up, pulled the dragon girl and said, "Dragon girl, you are so beautiful, and your needlework is good, why don't you just follow the two of us." The dragon girl blushed and kept struggling: "Let go of me, you two stinky rascals!"
"Presumptuous, you are a mortal, you dare to tease my young lady, looking for death!" With that, the two maids waved their hands, and the two hooligans were slapped firmly, and they rushed out for several steps
Far away, their feet were unsteady, one stumbled, and both of them fell to the ground and fainted. The maid threw away the rags in her hand and disappeared into the dragon pool with the frightened dragon girl. Never again
I've mended people's clothes.
After listening to this story, the team members felt much more relaxed.
Liu Qing said: "Those two stinky rascals, they really damn it!"
"Yes. Zhang Ying said.
The old man seemed to think of something, and muttered, "It's a pity that my little master was born dissolute and unruly, so he ended up like this. ”
Zhang Lei immediately asked: "Old man, who is the little master you are talking about? What is the end?"
The old man seemed to come back to his senses immediately, and replied embarrassedly: "Ahhhh ”
Zhang Lei said: "Oh, it doesn't matter, the old man is modest, and the old man is still strong." Just looking at you is the destiny of longevity. ”
The old man smiled and said, "Thank you, little brother, for your good words." My old bones are useless, and I've lived a long life and suffered crimes. ”
After that, he got up and poured tea for Zhang Lei and the team members. Zhang Lei and the team members all refused, because it was completely dark at this time, they stood up and said goodbye to the old man and walked out of the house.
On a rainy winter night, strange sounds, and piles of graves added to the eerie and terrifying atmosphere, Zhang Lei ordered everyone to squat down at the intersection of the mountain and wait for the ghost to appear. Can wait
After a long time, he didn't see anything, so he had to return to the five rooms in disappointment.
Zhang Lei asked Gu Tao: "I have always had a question, was the old man guarding the tomb in the back mountain when he was a child, and what about his family?"
"Then why didn't you just ask him?"
"It's getting late, I don't have time to ask, and how am I going to ask, wouldn't it be rude to ask directly?"
Indeed, the old man was no ordinary man, and his mystery may be far beyond our imagination. I also have a question about why he is guarding the tomb in the back mountain, some of the tombs are already very dilapidated
It's been decades or even a hundred years at first glance. Is he guarding all the tombs in the back mountain, or is it one or several graves?"
Zhang Lei said: "The superiors asked us to investigate the strange pit, and there seems to be no progress for so many days, but there are more and more mysteries, which is really nerve-wracking." ”
Gu Tao said: "Team Zhang, we are not to blame, the incident itself is strange, and we don't have much information in our hands, which also makes it more difficult for us to carry out investigations." "Miscellaneous
The team members also agreed with Gu Tao's statement.
Zhang Lei said: "Have you heard him talk to himself about a person after telling the story of the dragon girl?"
"Little master!" said everyone in unison.
"Yes, I can see that although the old man seems to be a little older, he is not dazzled, deaf, and full of energy, and he is by no means like he himself said, he is old and talking nonsense. ”
Li Xiaoyu said: "In this way, he must be serving his little master, but his little master may have had an accident, but even if there is an accident, he doesn't have to be there all the time."
I've been guarding the tomb for decades. ”
Huang Guijun said: "I think what Xiaoyu said makes sense, and we have no way of knowing what the identity of the old man is." ”
Zhao Liang said: "It seems that the old man is becoming more and more mysterious, he must have experienced some story, he is a person with a 'story'."
Zhang Lei said: "What everyone said makes sense, by the way, my mobile phone is about to run out of battery, tomorrow I have to go to the crow's mouth, get in touch with my superiors, and everyone should rest."
