When Chen Caixing and Yuan Jiuwan went out, it was already dark.
The doors of every household are closed. If it is past 8 o'clock in the modern summer, there will be many elderly and children in the village enjoying the cool air. Everyone here seems to be afraid of something.
On the first night, Zhou Zihan and Meiqing came back and knocked from house to house, but no one paid any attention.
There are no street lights in the village, it is pitch black, only the faint moonlight shines on the trail.
"Are you afraid?" Chen Caixing asked.
Yuan Jiuwan shook his head and said cutely, "I'm a man with a lot of masculinity. Sister, you're afraid that you will pull me tight."
Chen Caixing was amused, squeezed his little brother's cheek with one hand, and said, "Okay."
There are so many trails in this place that you will get lost during the day, let alone at night. But fortunately, Samba's family had a funeral tonight, there were suonas and gongs, and the two arrived smoothly with the guidance of their voices.
Looking from afar, the four figures in the square in front of the ancestral hall are all men.
The first two beat the gong, and the other blew the suona. Knock once, blow once, and each person shouts: "Please let the ancestors light", "borrow a lantern."
Behind them should be the brothers Su Le and Suda, each with an oil lamp in their hands, which was dimly lit.
"You can come in, be careful."
"We, we'll be waiting for you outside."
The two who played the suona and the gong said.
It's too dark here, and even the moonlight can't shine, like something is blocking it. Chen Caixing looked at the sky and frowned.
'Creak-'
The four of them obviously had no one to step forward, but the originally closed ancestral door suddenly opened.
A gust of wind rushed out. The two people who took the musical instrument at the head shouted "Mummy", trembling with fright, and said, "I, I'll wait for you at the Xiaodaokou." "Me too." The two ran away without saying a word.
Leave the two brothers where they are.
Chen Caixing was afraid when he saw Su Le's legs shaking. He is also afraid of this ghostly place, but who calls him a single mother who wants to raise a child. Chen Caixing followed the script of a female college student getting a big belly, and touched her belly sadly.
Seems to be round
I should have eaten too much in the afternoon.
"Wait for us?" Chen Caixing stopped thinking about it and led his younger brother forward.
Su Le was startled by the sudden voice. Seeing that it was Chen Caixing and Yuan Jiuwan, their young and immature faces were sweating coldly under the oil lamp, and said in a panic, "Sister Yuanxing, let's go, don't really go in."
"Go back." Suda also said, "There are ghosts in the village."
Chen Caixing glanced at the ancestral hall with countless tablets in the black hole and said, "Isn't it your ancestor? Don't be afraid, go in and have a look." He clenched Xiao Jiu with one hand, and touched the safety talisman in his pocket with the other.
A 190,000 talisman paper needs some strength.
His face is covered, don't be beaten.
Chen Caixing seemed to be walking calmly, and turned to look at the two brothers, "You still haven't caught up?"
Su Da Su Le followed with the oil lamp. It was obviously a pregnant woman with a big belly who spoke softly, softly and beautifully, but the back figure became taller in the hearts of the two of them. Su Le thought of something, her eyes were sore, she raised her hand and rubbed it. , did not let the tears slip out.
The ancestral hall was airtight in all directions, and the air was dull with the smell of decaying wood, but Chen Caixing's nose was sharp and he could smell the long-lasting bloody smell. There are several rows of dense tablets in front of it. According to Jiadi, the Holy Maiden has a history of 100 years. Whenever an old man in the village dies, the tablets will be placed.
Those tablets were obviously dead, but Chen Caixing always felt that there were countless eyes staring at them.
There are two doors behind, and one step forward, looking up is facing the slender classical-shaped lanterns hung on the beams.
The lantern swayed slightly, and under the faint light of the oil lamp, the slender shadow swayed like a ghost.
"How to get it?" Chen Caixing asked the two brothers who were stunned.
"Hang, hang the pole." Su Le said.
The beam is high, and the lantern is narrow and thin. It is hung up. If you want to hang it, you must use an iron hook to hang the rod. But the hanging rod is placed next to the tablet offering table, and if you want to get it, you have to go through a row of lanterns.
It really takes courage to know what a lantern is made of, and to go through it from below.
Chen Caixing felt that his retribution was coming. He just told Zhou Zihan a ghost story that scared the girls and screamed, and now his scalp is numb and his hair stands on end. Who told him to speak up in front of Gadi and his son in the afternoon.
"I'll get it." Suda said.
Su Le was afraid, "Brother, I'll go with you."
"Whatever you want to go, don't stop me today, I'll go." Chen Caixing encouraged himself in his heart, and it was up to him to break superstition and suppress violence. Tonight, he is the messenger of justice, the incarnation of the Virgin Mary.
Came to play.
Chen Caixing didn't wait for the two brothers to react. Yuan Jiuwan Baba followed behind without letting go. When passing under the lantern, Chen Caixing felt a gloomy wind rushing down his Tianling cover straight to his neck, gloomily clinging to his skin.
Raised a layer of goosebumps.
I heard hallucinations in my ears, and the low and thin girl said softly: "it hurts", "my skin is gone", "your skin is so good, please give me", "give me your skin, okay?" it is good"…
Chen Caixing had a blank face.
Sister, your last sentence is plagiarism. Can you change the lines he said
Only complaining can be exchanged for a little calm.
Yuan Jiuwan glanced at Chen Caixing, who was thinking, with a smile in his eyes, but when he raised his head and swept to the row of lanterns on the beam, his little fleshy face showed no expression at all, gloomy and scarier than a ghost. .
The hallucinations are gone.
Chen Caixing walked to the tablet table and looked closer to see that these were just pieces of rotten wooden tablets. He quickly took the hanging rod and turned his head to see Xiao Jiu staring at the lantern in a daze, startled, "What are you looking at, Xiao Jiu, let's go."
Yuan Jiuwan retracted his gaze and said obediently, "Okay."
Xiao Jiu's eyes seemed to flash red. Chen Caixing looked more closely, and there was no red light at all. The little brother's almond-shaped eyes were widened because of fear. They were round and cute with fleshy cheeks.
With a pole in one hand, Chen Caixing led Xiao Jiu to the lantern, and picked a lantern at will.
It was calm, no ghosts whatsoever.
The voices of the girls screaming pain just now really sounded like his auditory hallucinations.
The smooth Chen Caixing wondered if there was still something waiting for him.
As a result, until they went out with lanterns, the door of the ancestral hall behind them closed with a 'bang', and the sound of slamming the door was so loud that they couldn't beat the guests. Chen Caixing was emboldened by his own brain.
"It's all right." He gave the lantern to the two brothers and said, "Take it for business."
After Su Le saw that Chen Caixing successfully took down the lantern, his emotions were tense, and blue veins burst out on his forehead. Suda's face was heavy, and his face was extremely ugly. The two brothers did not speak and left with the lantern.
Chen Caixing looked at the departing back, and finally remembered something.
Anyway, leave him an oil lamp.
The way back is too dark.
"Good nine, do you know the way back?"
"Brother, I remember."
Chen Caixing: ... better than him.
"Good nine is awesome."
One big and one small walked back, passing the willow tree, the drooping branches brushed gently on Chen Caixing's shoulder. Chen Caixing felt itchy on his shoulders. He was wearing a thin T-shirt in summer. When he saw the willow branches, he thought of the walnut branches in the previous world, and his heart sank.
The leaves rustled.
Because it was too dark, the willow tree was strong, with luxuriant branches, and the tops were clumps, rustling and swaying by the wind, and it was impossible to see anything at all. But he felt that there was something in the tree.
"elder brother?"
"It's okay, let's go." Go back first.
Xiao Jiu really knew Lu, and quickly brought them back.
The courtyard door was not closed, it was closed lightly, Chen Caixing pushed it open and saw an oil lamp lit in the main room. Jiadi sat under the lamp holding a bong, and his eyes met him. When he saw it was them, he lowered his head and started smoking again. cigarette.
Gatti is waiting for his two sons.
"They've gone to deliver the lanterns, they should be back right away." Chen Caixing said, and without waiting for an answer, he led Xiao Jiu to the backyard to wash up and go upstairs.
The room quilt was taken back, and the embroidered thin quilt was not taken away.
Chen Caixing took off his shoes and went to bed. When he touched his trouser pocket, his fingertips were hot, so he took out the things in his pocket. Half of the 190,000-purchased peace talisman became ashes.
"What about yours, Xiaojiu?" Chen Caixing was heartbroken, one was distressed for money, and the other was thinking about when he would save his life tonight.
Yuan Jiuwan took out the talisman paper from his pocket, and the yellow triangle talisman paper was intact.
Not the ancestral hall. Both of them entered the ancestral hall, and maybe Xiao Jiu didn't pick up the lantern with the hanging pole. But Chen Caixing always had an intuition that the talisman was triggered when the willow branches touched him when he came back.
'Ancestor' is willow spirit
'Please Ling' is the willow leaf that was stained with the blood of the girl's palm.
Regardless of whether the 'ancestor' is a willow tree, this willow tree is not a good thing anyway.
I'll ask Brother Su Le tomorrow. With what happened tonight, it should be much simpler to set the two brothers. Chen Caixing thought in a mess. He slept all afternoon and was not sleepy, but he was highly concentrated, and now he is a little empty. He patted Xiao Jiu's chest to lure the child to sleep, and he fell asleep in a daze after a while. .
"Sister, sister, I want to pee."
Someone whispered in his ear, Chen Caixing fell into a drowsy sleep and thought it was Xiao Jiu, and replied, "Wait for my sister to take you there." He woke up instantly after speaking.
Xiao Jiu never called him Ajie.
Chen Caixing's heart sank, not knowing whether the half-burned talisman paper would work. Xiao Jiu slept on the inner side, the room was quiet and the child's breathing could be heard, which was not what Xiao Jiu said.
The voice beside the bed was still saying, "Sister, why are you ignoring me? Can you take a look at me?"
Chen Caixing cried and chirped: Is it good not to be optimistic? He's going to want to pee.
"Sister, I know you're awake, I just want you to help me..." The girl was sobbing.
Does Chen Caixing want to give you my skin for you
That is absolutely impossible.
"Sister, sis..."
Chen Caixing's scalp was numb when he was called, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "Ah Xiang, if you have something to say, don't be a ghost, I can't stand being scared when I'm pregnant, if the baby is gone, neither of us mother and daughter will become ghosts. Let go of you."
The sound by the bed suddenly stopped, as if frightened by Chen Caixing's speech.
