The little girl was frightened and murmured to herself, while I slowly moved my gaze along that skinny hand, and raised my eyes. The terrifying picture in my imagination did not appear. What was in front of me was a very ordinary face. , so common that I seem to forget it the next moment.
The old man smiled kindly: "Little girl, let's go out and eat again."
The old man was obviously very kind, but the little girl seemed to be terribly frightened, she stood still and didn't dare to move, let alone speak back.
Seeing that the little girl didn't speak, the old man didn't care. He looked at me and said, "Young man, who are you? Why are you here so late. It's not safe."
The little girl's behavior made me wary of this old man named Grandpa Peng, and I didn't answer him.
Grandpa Peng smiled and sighed, "Since I've been guarding the tomb here, I haven't been welcomed by anyone."
I felt for a while that I still couldn't feel Yin Qi or other strange auras in this Grandpa Peng, so I tried to say: "Your old man is guarding the grave here, who is guarding the grave for?"
Grandpa Peng raised the paper lantern in his hand and pointed to the front: "Who can guard the grave for you, young man, why don't you go to my place to rest, it's not safe here at night."
I looked in the direction Grandpa Peng pointed, only to find that there was a small wooden house in the darkness over there, but there was no light in the house, so I didn't see it until now.
I hesitated to take a look, but didn't agree, because the little girl was secretly pulling at the hem of my clothes.
Grandpa Peng also seemed to have noticed the little girl's small movements, and smiled at the little girl and said, "Little girl, how about you? Should you go home or go to Grandpa Peng's place for a ride."
When the little girl heard it, she took a few steps back as if she had been frightened. And Grandpa Peng still looked at her kindly.
After a while, the little girl said in a mosquito-like voice: "I'm going home."
Grandpa Peng nodded: "Alright, at such a young age, don't run around, young man, let's go."
Walk? I didn't agree to go and sit with him, and besides, seeing the little girl's reaction like this, I didn't dare to go.
So I showed a forced smile: "Well, Grandpa Peng, it's getting late, and I'll go back first."
Grandpa Peng looked at me: "It's late at night, it's not safe, go sit with me for a while first."
The more Grandpa Peng wanted me to go, the more dangerous I felt, so naturally I tried every means to shirk.
In the end, it was probably because I saw that I was a bastard eating weights, and became determined, so Grandpa Peng let me go.
"Young man, it's dangerous at night, I'm really scared, just go to my place."
I nodded, glanced at the little girl who was still on the side, turned around and walked back to the way I came from, but the speed of walking was not fast, because while I was walking, I had to pay attention to whether there would be any moths in the shallow pits in all directions. There is Grandpa Peng in the back.
After passing through several shallow pits in a row, I stopped suddenly. I accidentally stepped on a small stone just now. The small stone bounced a few times on the road and hit the coffin in the shallow pit on one side.
After a soft "pop", there was a sound of scratching the coffin, as if something trapped was struggling to get out.
I remember the little girl's movements, she stopped, not daring to make any noise. Sure enough, slowly, the scratching sound in the coffin became smaller and smaller, just when the scratching sound was about to disappear.
Suddenly a voice came from behind me.
"Young man, it's not safe at night, why don't you come and sit with me."
I focused my attention on the coffin, and was startled by the sudden sound, so I hurriedly turned around, only to see Grandpa Peng standing there with a paper lantern in his hand and a pleasant smile on his face.
I cursed in my heart, but didn't dare to show it on the face. After politely declining, I continued to move forward, while Grandpa Peng's voice was still coming from behind me.
"It's late at night, it's not safe here, so go sit at my place."
I ignored it, but sped up my pace. Perhaps it was because I sped up that the footsteps became louder, and I felt more and more strange sounds coming from the shallow pits.
However, at this time, I couldn't care less, and moved forward in one direction, faster and faster, faster and faster, and almost started to trot behind.
Although there was a moon, the light was not very good. I accidentally stepped on the edge of a shallow pit and fell hard. Fortunately, I just fell into the aisle between two shallow pits.
I was eager to get up, but just turned sideways, my arms were on my shoulders, and then a gloomy voice sounded from behind me: "Why don't you go home yet."
I forced myself to stabilize my mind and said, "I'll go back right away, I'll go back right away."
The voice continued: "Aren't you already here?"
While speaking, I felt a cold breath sprayed on my neck with the words, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on my neck and half of my body.
"I'm not here."
"It's here, it's here, look back, this is your home."
I suddenly broke free from the arm on my shoulder, quickly grabbed a pre-prepared amulet from my pocket and threw it over, then ran away without looking at it.
I ran a certain distance and stopped. The nervousness and sudden running made my physical strength drop very quickly. I was worried that if I continued like this, I would exhaust myself to death here.
There was no sound behind me, I turned around, and there was nothing chasing me, but the shallow pit beside me had already started to make strange noises, I took a deep breath, turned around and planned to continue trotting away.
But as soon as I turned around, I saw an orange paper lantern in front of me, and Grandpa Peng was looking at me kindly, pointing to one side and saying: "It's not safe here at night, go sit at my house."
I looked along his finger, and saw that the small wooden house with no lights on was not far away, like a beast waiting for its prey to throw itself into the net.
I ignored it, and took out a few exorcism talismans from my pocket and threw them over. The talisman paper fell on Grandpa Peng's body, and then fell to the ground, without any reaction.
Grandpa Peng bent down, picked up the talisman papers one by one, and then handed them to me: "Young man, don't throw things around."
I felt that my people were about to collapse, so I said helplessly, "Grandpa Peng, I'm also from the village, so just let me go."
Grandpa Peng still had that kind smile: "I know, I know, that's why I'm worried about your danger. Come and sit at my house."
My Cao, I couldn't help but swear, I transformed into a ghost body, turned into a plume of black smoke and rushed towards the sky, as I expected, when I became a ghost, Grandpa Peng disappeared completely out of my sight.
I didn't dare to be careless, and was about to leave as soon as possible, when suddenly my eyes lit up, and then I felt an intense burning sensation all over my body. At the same time, Grandpa Peng's voice came from my ear: "Young man, it's not safe at night, go to Sit at my house."
"Bang" I fell heavily on the ground, and I was surprised to find that I turned back into a human body again, and I was in a small wooden cabin with no lights, but the cabin was very bright, and the open kitchen was standing Several cauldrons.
Grandpa Peng was slowly putting an unknown plant root into the pot, and while putting it back, he turned to me and said, "Young man, come to my house, eat something to warm your stomach."
"What to eat?" I said tremblingly.
Grandpa Peng threw all the rhizomes in his hand into the cauldron, looked back at me, and tapped the edge of the cauldron with his fingers. As if thinking about something, he murmured to himself uncertainly: "Ghosts use deep frying, people use steaming."
