Inherit the family's old shop

Chapter 287

Stopping there, the figure drooped its head, and all it could see was a dark and wrinkled face, frizzy and sparse hair running down its forehead, covering half of its face, and its eyes were staring straight up through the rough hair. Picking up, looking at me with a silly and miserable look, the feeling... I can't tell if it's like a light on my back, but being stared at by such a pair of eyes at night makes no one feel uncomfortable. Silly.

I'm afraid there is something wrong with this person, yes. This person, he doesn't show any gloomy and ghostly aura. It can't be wrong, this is definitely a person!
A pair of straight eyes turned towards me, and I was stunned for a moment, and out of politeness, I nodded my head slightly to him. I was about to walk away, when suddenly a hoarse voice stabbed me hard. ear.

"Boy, it's late at night, cross the bridge and start on the road. Where are you going!" With a gloomy and hoarse voice, the voice was definitely forced out of the throat, and the voice was a little feminine. You can't see anything in the way you dress up. After listening to this sentence, I realized that this person turned out to be an old lady!
I was stunned for a moment, and nodded in response, "Old lady, I'm going to the train station to catch a train, so you should go back early and rest after you're done with this big night!"

I agreed, and I raised my foot and prepared to move forward. It was very unlucky to encounter such a thing of burning paper to sacrifice people in the middle of the night, not to mention that this wife is also weird, just looking at it makes me feel sad Uncomfortable, I am too lazy to say more when we meet face to face.

But just after I took two steps, I said again in a hoarse voice, "It's three o'clock in the middle of the night. There is a time for driving at night. This person walks on the road, and the ghost walks on the ghost bridge. When you hit the right time, you catch up." , follow the wrong person and go the wrong way, then you won’t be able to come back!”

This babbling and muffled voice made me feel uneasy all the time, people walking on sidewalks, ghosts walking on ghost bridges, and catching up at the right time, it sounds... an indescribably evil energy.

When she said this, I stood there stunned, and the wife continued, "I shouldn't be walking this night tonight, and this is not the time for people to go. I shouldn't meet them. I met them when I walked." .If you want to leave again, you won’t be able to. It’s a blessing to avoid it, but it’s fate if you can’t escape it, fate!”

I stopped there for a moment during this weird phone call, turned my head and looked at the wife, the dark and wrinkled old face was blurred, and the eyes with hooked upper eyelids were fixed on her. Me, chaotic and dim, with a pair of dead fish eyes!

Looking at this weird wife, I couldn't help asking, "Old lady, you said, when you shouldn't leave, and when you shouldn't meet that, what the hell is this!"

"Hey hey hey." A miserable sneer made me feel uncomfortable from the bottom of my heart, I looked at the wife, and the pale and black teeth stubble was left behind, "People walk away... When ghosts walk across ghost bridges, when and how to go, if you run into people you shouldn’t, then there are ghosts you can’t touch!”

"People pass by ghosts. Everyone goes his own way. If he should go, don't occupy it. If you should go, don't stay. If you take the wrong path, it will be a deadly path!"

"Desperate road...deadly road", she said this sentence seven or eight times in a row, and her voice became more and more shrill. At the end, the hoarse shout It completely turned into crying, with ups and downs, crying in a shrill and shrill voice, "Xiaobao, Xiaobao, I won't let you go, you will go astray, this walk will lead you to a lifeless road, come back... come back, Go home, grandma will steam rice cakes for you. Go home!"

This shrill and shrill voice made most of the bridge head full of tragic and piercing sounds. The wife was babbling and crying while burning paper money. With this crying, a small cold wind suddenly appeared in the night, swirling Night Breeze brought a handful of paper money with flames, rolled it in mid-air, and a handful of paper ashes faced the night, suddenly adding a bit of weirdness and desolation.

The fluttering night wind whirled, and scattered from the top of the head. The swirl of paper ash was blown on the top of the head. There was no residual warmth, but it was like ice scum falling in winter!
In the past few seconds, I really couldn't stay here any longer. This weird old woman was so yin and yang, and her evil energy made people panic. That's me now. If it was three or five months ago, I would definitely You can't go to this stone bridge road even if you are killed, can you avoid this kind of evil thing or avoid it!

I swallowed, and ignored the old woman. I turned around and walked forward. I walked all the way forward. I heard the old woman's yin and yang, crying and yelling at the top of my voice, "I won't let you go. You are not Let's go, this walk will lead to a lifeless road, lifeless Lu Xiaobao, come back. Don't go, come back!
Nervous old woman, I heard her yelling Xiaobao's name, this should be his grandson, this old man has no children and grandchildren, and a white-haired person gave a black-haired person, this is a sad thing, maybe it is So I was hit, and I was too sad to break my sanity!

No matter how you say it, this old woman is a human being, although she is a little gloomy and weird, but there is no weird cold feeling leaking from her body. I took a breath and calmed down. I have the right to be a crazy woman, so I don't care about it !

I lifted my feet and walked down Shiqiao Road, walking all the way forward, the babbling and roaring from behind was still harsh, the old woman cried for a while, and there was a series of wooden sticks hitting the bridge surface, and the sound of the voice was loud. He yelled and cursed, "Little devil, you leave my grandson, you leave me, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, you hooker, I'll beat you to death. I'll kill you Ghost head!"

Dongdongdong. The sound of knocking on the bridge deck, hearing this sound, I couldn't help turning my head to look at it. The old woman was squatting on the ground, feeling a big wooden stick from nowhere, and was banging on the bridge deck. Knocking, and cursing at the top of his voice, "I'll hit you, I'll hit you with the head of a ghost"

No ghosts, no evil, there is absolutely no evil on the bridge, there are only some unspeakable weirdness, and the weird people on the bridge are even weirder!

I didn't dare to stay longer. After all, one more thing is worse than one less thing. I'm just a late-night passerby, and I don't need to worry about this crazy woman's business. At this time... I'm afraid it's already past midnight. No matter what else, it's important for us to hurry.

After getting off the stone bridge, turn left, and walk forward along the small river ditch. After walking a few hundred meters, suddenly a few lights flickered under my eyelids. I turned my head to look at the small river ditch, and the water surface was shining Several fires were on, and three or five lotus lanterns were floating leisurely along the river.

When the "Lotus Lantern" saw this, I was a little puzzled, "It's so late at night. How can someone light lotus lanterns, and there are so many of them!"

There is a custom in some villages that children who die early are not put into the coffin or grave, and are not worshiped by their biological parents. They are wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into the wilderness.

Every death anniversary, or Qingming and Double Ninth Ghost Festival, the family of the child who died will burn paper money by the river to worship, and light a lotus lantern by the way, and float along the water. The objects of Yinming worship are sent to the children.

In the early years in the village, I occasionally came across a lotus lantern. Although I avoided suspicion and taboo, this is not a rare thing, but suddenly five or six lanterns floated over in a flash, and I felt a little bit wrong. Could it be What a day!
With a thought, I pinched the joints and counted the days. The joints are actually quite similar to the planner, each joint is a mark, the heavenly stems, the earthly branches, the schedule, the moon, and the moon. Calculate according to the lunar calendar. Once the joints are pinched, For a moment, I slammed my foot and stood there.

"The 24 solar terms coincide with the sixth Tomb-sweeping Day, Little Ghost's Day, tonight. Tonight is actually Tomb-sweeping night!" I gritted my teeth hard as I muttered, how did Ching-ming night meet Ching-ming night!

I overslept overnight last night, and went out of the barren land in a daze. I didn't think much about the festivals, but I didn't expect that there are three ghost festivals a year, and I ran into them on this night road This Qingming night, my silly boy's first journey was really lucky!

Tomb-sweeping day is the day of worshiping ancestors and sweeping graves in China. This is a custom left in China early in the morning, but what is recorded and heard by Yin and Yang Daoer is not just a matter of customs and habits. At night, ghosts and ghosts return to their hometowns, and wandering ghosts and wild ghosts are let go. If there is an unlucky chance, you may meet a ghost soldier to make an excuse.

No wonder all the lights in the small town were turned off early in the morning, no wonder the crazy old woman said that no one should walk tonight, pedestrians walk on footpaths, ghosts walk on ghost roads, on this Qingming night, ghost roads open to pedestrians at night, that's terrible Maybe it's a ghost!
With this in mind, I turned my head and glanced at Shiqiao Road, but when I turned my head, the unburned paper money on Shiqiao Road was still blazing, but the crazy old woman seemed to have disappeared. .I was stunned for a while, but after a moment of surprise, I didn't think much about it!

Tomb-sweeping night. I walked most of the way at midnight, and it really messed me up for a while. It stands to reason that I shouldn’t be on my way anymore, but it’s late at night and there’s a ghost festival. At this time, the farmhouse hotel is absolutely The door is closed, and I want to stay overnight. But knocking on the door at night on this ghost festival, I am afraid that the living will also be regarded as ghosts, who dares to open the door to leave passers-by!
After thinking about it for a while, we can't stay overnight. I guess the train station is only three to five miles away. I gritted my teeth and stamped my feet, and hurried to the train station. The place is very popular. With enough firepower, ghosts and snake gods will naturally avoid it!
