Chapter 29
Regarding the haunting of his own house, the old man has not been able to figure it out since his parents died.Where is the ghost? Could it be that the parents have neurological problems and have hallucinations, and they are slowly scaring themselves to death?The beloved woman died, the parents died, and the old man lived a life of nothing for decades, on this lonely hill, in this haunted house.

Because the family didn't have any savings, and they came here from famine, and lived in a well-known haunted place, even though they were handsome, no girl from any family was willing to marry.Originally, the place in my heart had been monopolized by Xi'er, so the old man had never married, and was planning to be single and die here alone.

Speaking of it, I guess I have too much yang energy and a pure mind. I haven't seen any ghosts, and I haven't heard any abnormal sounds at night. Although I have minor illnesses occasionally, it will be cured in a few days.It wasn't until after an accidental cold that the old man finally understood why his parents were scared to death.

That time when I accidentally opened my eyes because of a cold, it was several years after my parents passed away.At that time, I was the only one left to live in this place. Maybe it was because of the fate of a bachelor, so it was fine.Although life is hard, fortunately, raising chickens, feeding pigs and farming by one person can still eat and wear warmth.However, once he had a fever, the dazed old man finally saw all kinds of other passers-by in the house—ghosts.

The mind is dizzy, and the eyes seem to have been blurred. The old man has a high fever and can only lie on the bed and resign himself to fate. No one will come to this place for a while. If he burns to death like this, he will follow his parents. There is nothing to regret Yes, after all, all my nostalgia in the world have been turned into nothingness and gone with the wind.

"I'm so thirsty, so hot..." The old man felt that his whole body was in the fire, his throat was unable to make a complete and clear sound due to lack of water, and he couldn't move his body, even getting out of bed was futile.Xi'er's smile and parents' waving seemed to appear in his mind. Could it be that he was going to die?
A kind of despair began to spread from the bottom of my heart, sweeping the entire thinking consciousness.As he was dying, he suddenly felt cool and sweet tea slowly flow down from his thirsty and chapped lips, moistening his throat and making his consciousness clear.With a cold hand gently placed on his forehead, the old man felt that his heavy mind suddenly became much lighter. Coupled with the water in his mouth, it was like rain falling into the world, saving his life in time.

Turning his head slightly, he saw a lot of white shadows in front of his eyes.There seemed to be a lot of people in the house, men, women, young and old, but their expressions were surprisingly rigid. Only the black eyeballs were left on the miserable white faces, and the other parts could not be seen clearly.Who are these? Where am I?The old man, who regained consciousness a little, couldn't figure out where he was, wasn't he lying on the bed, why were there so many people in the house all of a sudden?
The hand can also move, the old man rubbed his eyes lightly but was immediately stunned, because Xier was sitting beside his bed, and her hand was holding a handful of water in the air, the water seemed to be floating like a solid In the air, it must be Xi'er who fed him water just now. Could it be that he is already dead?
"Where is this?" The old man was not afraid when he saw Xi'er, and even ignored the white shadows coming and going around.

"This is your home, you can see us now." Xi'er's mouth was slightly opened, the mouth was dark, and she couldn't see a single white tooth, but the expression on her face was different from that of other people, and she could tell who was A faint smile, but the smile on the pale face didn't look very natural, as if it was pulled out abruptly.

"Am I already dead, Xi'er?" The old man was surprisingly calm, and there was even some joy in his eyes. The person he had missed for many years finally appeared in front of his eyes today. Even if it was a trace of emptiness, he was satisfied.

"You are in good health. How could you die? It's just that your yin and yang eyes have been opened and you can see us." Xi'er hadn't finished speaking when suddenly a child in red, pushing a small iron ring, leaned over to the old man's bed When he came, he stretched out his hand directly to touch the old man's head.There was also a terrifying mark on the child's neck, as if it had been cut by something, surrounded by red blood, it was not an ordinary person at first glance.

This little ghost in red seemed to have been tortured to death during his lifetime, and he probably died in the chaos of war. Before his hand touched the old man's body, Xi'er blocked him, "Hong'er, you can't touch him..." Xi'er's scolding sound seemed to come from the abyss, it was cold and distant.The child stuck out his tongue, turned around and pushed the iron ring through the wall and left.

The old man was frightened by this scene, and instantly regained consciousness.It seems that the parents were right, this room is really haunted!At this time, the old man finally understood why his parents passed away but could not find any cause and finally died with hatred.

Recalling the frightened faces of his parents before they died, the old man burst into tears again. He only hated himself for not being able to see the ghosts all over the place. He watched his parents die unrepentantly and lived on for so many years. At one point, he really thought that his parents had some neurological problems. .Thinking of the first time I heard my mother say that there were ghosts in the house, and I scolded her for being out of my mind and talking nonsense all day long, the old man regretted it.

The house was dimly lit because the door was closed.Although it was broad day, it was like night before the moon.In order to save electricity, the old man usually does not turn on the lights during the day, and the tea on the table is already a little cold.

"When you get old, you just like to recall the past, really!" The old man looked at the silent woman sitting beside him, and could only smile wryly.God is really fair. Since the living cannot live in the Yin Land, unexpectedly it is a blessed land for the dead.Because Xi'er was nostalgic for the world, she stayed in this place all the time, who knew that she helped herself in the end.

Ever since he opened his eyes that time and saw other residents in the house, the old man thought about moving out.After all, humans and ghosts are different and cannot live together.In the end, I heard Xi'er said that the ghosts here are all lonely ghosts or those who don't want to be reincarnated, and they have no intention of harming others.Part of the death of the old man’s parents was due to the collision of the naughty ghost’s prank. In fact, a greater part of the death was due to his own panic and worry. Maybe everyone has his own life, how to die and when to die are all predestined.Parents are destined to die like this, and no one can change it, otherwise why the old man is living but it is no big deal.

The wind outside the house was blowing, leaking in through the damaged tiles and windows, adding to the chill in the house.Decades have passed, the old man and a group of ghosts just lived like this, but they lived in peace.It's just because I'm afraid of scaring others that I seldom open the door on weekdays. This is also the reason why my grandfather found the door closed when he came before.Of course, another reason was that the old man was sitting and talking with Xi'er at that time.

Like today, Xi'er would show up on time every day, but the old man didn't know where he went at other times.Regarding the range of activities and travel rules of the ghosts, Xi'er seemed unwilling to disclose more.The old man didn't know if there were any other places in the village, but anyway, his family really robbed the dead.

Grandpa naturally didn't know all this.As soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to report to his grandma what he had seen before: "Old woman, let me tell you a strange thing. Today I really want to hit the devil again. What a low point!" Regarding the fact that grandpa can see ghosts, Grandma knows.After all, it’s not just once or twice. When I was young, I saw a female ghost combing her hair at night in a pond in the valley, and then encountered a troublemaker blocking the way on the way to the market in the early morning. I was scared for the first time, and then it’s no surprise. Anyway, the local horse foot fairy said that it is because the yang qi is weak and the fire is low, so it is not a big deal. If you have a fever, burn a piece of paper money to cure it.

"What's the big deal? You look like you've lost your mind. Drink some hot water and sit down to rest. You're not tired after walking for a long time, and you talk so hard." Grandma just got up and wiped the pork on her apron. After wiping his hands, he went to the kettle and poured an enamel glass of water for Grandpa.Try it in your hand, it's not very hot, peck lightly, and hand it directly to the grandpa who just walked in.Grandpa sat down on the stool by the door, picked up the water glass and began to talk about some things that happened at the old man's house.

"Didn't you deliver cotton clothes in the morning? What time was it, and the door of the old man's house was still closed. I thought he hadn't woken up yet, so I was afraid that the trip would be in vain. As soon as I knocked on the door, the door opened. That's where the door opened." For a split second, a translucent figure of a woman in white clothes came out of the room and walked right past me. I thought it was my own dazzled eyes, but when I took a closer look, that woman was amazing. It floated away, the speed was too fast, and it only took a second or two to disappear on the tree at the gate, do you think it is strange?"

"Really, fake? Could it be another evil? This can also make you run into it? Damn it in broad daylight, it's really bad luck. Nothing happened on the way back, right?" Grandma became anxious when she heard this.Every time he came back from the evil, grandpa would either lie in bed with a blue face for a few days, or he would have a high fever, so don't let anything happen this time.If I knew it earlier, I would send it myself, really.

"It's okay, I can still tell you this now if there is something to do. The strange thing is yet to come!" Grandpa took a sip of tea, took a while and continued, "As soon as I entered the house, I felt that the house was weird. Inside the house The wind is chilly, and I feel hairy and uncomfortable just standing there."

"It's your own overthinking, what's the point! Don't you believe that the house is haunted by ghosts and is a place where the dead live? People in the village have been telling this for many years, and they also said that his parents were killed by ghosts at the beginning. Yes. But in the end, the old man lived alone for decades, and he was doing well. He deceived the public, if there were really ghosts, your sensitive body would have been sick from the impact of the fever sooner or later!" Grandma was too lazy After listening, I thought it was a big deal, but who knew it was grandpa thinking wildly, how could there be ghosts, if so, grandpa would definitely be lying on the bed talking nonsense like before.

"Oh, listen to what I have to say. I will cut the pigweed later. I think this matter is very important. You listen to me first." Grandpa became anxious when he saw grandma's disbelief, and took away the old one from grandma's hand. A kitchen knife for cutting pigweed.

"Okay, tell me, tell me, I can't hear you..." Grandma smiled and gave Grandpa a look.See how many flowers you can tell, and what is so mysterious.

"I told you about the woman in the white dress. If you don't believe me, I can't help it. As for why I came back this time, I can't explain it myself. After entering the room, I saw two teacups on the old man's table , one is empty and the other is full, and the tea in it is still smoking white smoke. The key is whether you know where the two cups are placed. One is in the south and the other is in the east. Whose tea cups are placed like this, and others The three are placed together on another tea table. Don’t you think there is a problem here? It’s fine for him to drink tea alone, and what are the two teacups doing on each side of the table? Do you think he is talking to that white shadow? Drink tea, so I close the door early in the morning to avoid being seen by others." The more grandpa thought about it, the more he felt that his explanation was reasonable, but it was also terrifying, thinking about it, he felt chilly all over his body.
