On Monday, Chi Yan crowded the subway and rushed back to school, because it was daytime and he was not very afraid of people coming and going. The few times that thing shot and killed people was after nightfall, usually after ten o'clock in the evening.
Hu Xing and Lao Yuan's junior high school classmates also went to their classroom to look around, but they didn't find any unusual or suspicious people, so they said goodbye to Chi Yan and prepared to go to other parts of the school to find clues.
Yang Qing was still sitting next to Chi Yan in the classroom, he looked around and joked: "Hey, Mr. Chi, why didn't the little beauty who always came to our class and didn't want to drink alcohol come here twice? "
Chi Yan has been haunted by ghosts all these days. Later, he heard that it was a demon, and he was too busy to save his life every day. Naturally, he couldn't think of Gu Xixi for a long time. He only remembered Gu Xixi when he heard Yang Qing's question, and he just casually said, "Well, she probably won't come because she feels boring."
Yang Qing didn't know if he was serious or really confused.
After class, Chi Yan hurriedly packed up and hurried to the subway station. Yang Qing asked him to eat with him, but he refused without hesitation: "Next time, my roommate will cook at home and wait for me to go back to eat."
Yang Qing looked at his figure walking away, thinking that he didn't know, and thought that your wife was cooking at home and waiting for you to go back to eat.
At this time of noon, there were much fewer people in the subway station than when they came in the morning. Chi Yan left the subway station and was hurriedly walking towards Ye Yingzhi's house with a pocket in his pocket, when he heard a familiar voice calling him: "Little Yan! Chi Yan! "
When he turned around, he found that it was his cousin and his aunt. Chi Yan hurriedly greeted him and said hello, "Uncle and Aunt." This place was originally close to Uncle's house, so it's not surprising to meet Uncle and Aunt.
The aunt blamed him for not going to the house to take a look when he came here. Chi Yan remembered the lie he had told before, coughed and said, "There is a classmate in our group who lives here. He took home an important project document in the group. Now the teacher is anxious for this document, so let him I'll come and pick it up." He always felt that he told more and more lies after seeing a ghost, and his ability to make up nonsense became stronger and stronger.
Uncle and aunt looked at the time, it was lunch time, and he must be taken to the house for dinner. Chi Yan thought that Ye Yingzhi had already prepared the meal for the two of them and was waiting at home, so he refused on the grounds that he was in a hurry to get the information. But my uncle and aunt had warmly invited me over and over again, and I happened to meet him on the street again today.
The next day, after Chi Yan came out of Ye Ying's house at noon, he went to the supermarket to buy some snacks and tea, and took it to his cousin's house.
It hasn't changed much after not seeing his cousin's house for four years. Chi Yan looked at the stairs leading upstairs, remembering the bedroom and the Buddhist hall where he slept, and an uncontrollable fear still came to his mind. He couldn't even restrain himself from recalling the slightly cool kisses, caresses, and hugs that fell on him, as well as the gasping breath when the thing pressed against him and hugged him.
The memories that had been deliberately forgotten all along flooded up like a tide, and they were still as clear as yesterday.
Strangely, when he thought about it again this time, there was a subtle familiarity in addition to his fear, as if he was already familiar with those touches and the cold breath...
It's like a memory from a lifetime.
Chi Yan was frightened by her own thoughts, unable to imagine what her life would be like if she had been haunted by ghosts all the time.
He put the things down and said hello to the three elders in turn. My cousin is also studying abroad, so there are only three people in the family: my cousin, my aunt, and my aunt.
My aunt's eyes have gotten worse in the past two years, but her thinking is still very clear. She supported Chi Yan's arm and looked at him for a long time before smiling and saying, "I've grown up again, the last time I saw you was like yesterday, I'm about to recognize you. Can't come out. Children, it's all about seeing the wind."
Chi Yan laughed secretly when she heard it, thinking that she was so old and not a three-year-old baby, but she only smiled as she should.
The old lady was still thinking about taking him upstairs to accompany her to the Buddhist hall to read sutras. Chi Yan only felt nervous when she heard the word "Buddha hall". Fortunately, my aunt persuaded her to stop her in time: "Mom, Xiaoyan finally came here, so you and Xiaoyan will sit and chat for a while, and the meal will be ready soon."
The old lady just put her mind out of the way, and dragged Chi Yan to sit down in the living room again.
During the meal, the four of them were talking, and cousin Du Lin suddenly asked, "Xiaoyan, you said yesterday that you were going to your classmate's house to get information. Your classmate also lives here?"
Chi Yan nodded: "Yes, he lives in a bigger house at the top of this piece."
Du Lin's hand suddenly stopped, looked at him and asked in surprise: "Is it the one with the dark red wall on the top and the white windows that looks very foreign from the outside? It's nearly twice the size of our house. that?"
Chi Yan thought about it for a while, and everything matched, then nodded again: "That's right."
Du Lin put down his chopsticks, turned his head and said to his aunt: "No. Mom, isn't that the house of the old leader of the system next door to Dad? Did their girls go abroad earlier? That house should be empty."
Chi Yan added: "My classmate said that it was not his own home, but that the owner of the house lent him to live there. He also said that his family was abroad, and maybe his family knew the original owner."
Du Lin muttered: "That's even more wrong, how can you lend that kind of house to a friend's child... After all, their family was quite noisy back then. I seem to have just started working at the time, and I still remember them now. Back then, the girl brought her uncle and the rest of the relatives to kneel and kowtow outside the house, and finally locked the door."
The aunt echoed: "Yes, I remember it too. At that time, your cousin and I had just known each other. It was the first time we came to his house. I remember at that time after dinner, he said he wanted to take me out for a walk around the neighborhood, so we walked up, and walked for half an hour to the next area surrounded by a lot of people. We were young and curious, so we When I squeezed to the front to see, I saw their girl leading the people behind to kneel on the ground and kowtow to the house, and only dared to stand up after nine consecutive kowtows. The girl and the girl were very learned and literate people at that time, how could they still believe in this feudal superstition."
Uncle continued: "Believe in these and whether you have knowledge are two different things."
Chi Yanxin said that this is true, and the teachers who teach him also pay attention to feng shui. The east gate of their school and the east gate of the university next door are on both sides of a street, and they are both facing a road. But outside the east gate of their school, there is a big stone with the school motto engraved squarely, and there is nothing outside the east gate of the next school. There was a period of time when there were frequent incidents next door, every three days in the newspapers, and the school was calm. There was a rumor that the stone at the gate of their school blocked the bad air, so there were few disturbances.
However, after listening to his uncle and aunt talking about what happened in that house, he still felt a little nervous in his heart, after all, he lived there every day. He tilted his head and asked cautiously, "Cousin and auntie, what happened back then? Could it be... a ghost?"
The cousin shook his head: "That's not true. I don't remember it clearly. It was also a rumor that I heard later. It seems that their family was in a complicated situation at the time... So in the end, the girl and the uncle's family went abroad directly."
The aunt who had not spoken all the time spoke up at this time: "That is their son's own sin."
When people are old, they always like to recall the past, and they cannot remember the present. The more the past, the more clearly they remember the things when they were young. Not only do they remember clearly, but they also love to tell others. My aunt is no exception. The old lady can still explain clearly what happened more than 20 years ago.
It turned out that the work unit of the old man and the work unit of the aunt's husband had some relationship, so the aunt also heard some inside information about his family through her husband. The old man's wife has passed away, and he has a son and a daughter, both of whom are about the same age as his cousin, and a little older than his cousin. They are all married. The daughter and her husband live elsewhere, and the son and daughter-in-law live with the old man in the house above.
Later that year, the son's wife became pregnant, and he couldn't bear the loneliness, so he found a lover outside without telling his wife. The lover and his son are in the same unit, and they are not good people. They have also visited their house with several other colleagues as a colleague. She was also a little jealous of her wife, so she took the opportunity to place a piece of red paper with a drawing of a gathering evil formation under the half of the mattress where her wife often slept.
After three or four months, the wife suddenly had signs of giving birth. Because she had not expected it before, she could only hurriedly invite someone to come to see her. During the delivery, it could feel as if something was coming out of the woman's womb, and the wife's belly had shrunk - but no one could see the "fetus".
This fact is too strange. When the wife finds out, she is naturally frightened and frightened. Later, the old man asked his daughter to invite an expert to come over. This expert is said to have survived the political turmoil many years ago. The evil gathering formation placed under the mattress.
Following this clue and further investigation, and after the son experienced such terrifying incidents that harmed his family, he couldn't stand the pressure, and his derailment was exposed. His lover also admitted that he accidentally bought the evil gathering circle from a blind warlock who set up a stall on the street, and he could not find the warlock now; Is it useful to put it under the mattress, I didn't expect it to cause such a consequence.
After all, this matter is sensational and traces can be found, so there are still rumors. The old man has always cherished his face, and when he heard about his son's actions, he was so angry that he suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. A few days after the divorce, when the son was out with his lover, he had a car accident and died on the spot.
When the family was really broken, only the daughter was left to take care of the old father in the hospital, and occasionally returned to the house to help with the cleaning.
She has to be busy with work, take care of her small family, and often go to the hospital to take care of her father. She can only return to the house to cook once every ten days and a half, and by the way, she can get some daily necessities for her father. The strange thing is that every time she comes back, she feels that the house looks like someone is living in it.
The daughter invited the expert over to help look at the house. After the expert entered the door, he looked left and right, but did not dare to disturb him. He quietly dragged his daughter out and told her the truth. It is said that because of the effect of the gathering of evil spirits, normal fetuses cannot survive at all, and they are stillborn when they are born, but there happened to be something similar to an evil spirit who was given birth by her sister-in-law during childbirth. in this house.
However, she has been at peace with that thing several times when she has come back, which shows that it has no intention of harming anyone, not to mention that the person who came to this room was originally recruited as a demon, and it may not be easy to force it away. He didn't dare to touch the one in the room himself, and he couldn't think of anyone in the world who could do this. It's better to do a ceremony and respectfully lend the house to that person, and then seal the house so that no one can come in. After it stays here and does what it wants to do, it will naturally leave on its own.
The daughter followed the advice and sealed the house, but the old man was already old, and after this incident, he couldn't afford to be sick, so he went away soon. The daughter went abroad with her husband shortly after taking care of her father's funeral. She hadn't heard of coming back for so many years, so logically the house should still be sealed.
Chi Yan felt a little uneasy when he heard this, but he and Ye Yingzhi had lived in that house for so long, and they had never noticed any sign of the existence of a third "person". As said, that thing has done what it wanted to do and left.
He remembered how Ye Yingzhi had sworn to comfort himself that "there are no ghosts in this world", and thought to himself that even if the owner of the house told him these things, he probably wouldn't believe it, and he wouldn't believe it if he lived in this house. Strange.
After listening to the uncle and aunt, they also persuaded: "Xiaoyan, you and your classmates talk about this matter, we are not feudal superstition, but we are just asking for peace of mind, after all, we have already lent the house to ghosts and gods, or we should move out. good."
"He doesn't believe this." Chi Yan shook his head with a smile and asked curiously, "Cousin and auntie, have you ever encountered such a supernatural event at home?"
Cousin waved his hand: "Cough, our family is upright in life and work, and we don't do anything, and we can't get into that kind of thing at home."
Chi Yan nodded and hurriedly praised his cousin and aunt, thinking that the thing that he encountered here that summer night was only making fun of himself.
