The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 10 Black Cat
I asked the third uncle puzzledly: "What is this?"

The third uncle didn't speak, with a gloomy face, he struck two matches in a muffled voice, and lit the two incense sticks.

Seeing the incense burning, he handed me one and said: "After entering, we can't use the flashlight or talk, and we can't leave the incense. Let's go directly to the second floor and take the copper incense. Take out both the bowl and the Madara, and dispose of them in the yard."

"Holding the incense, and wearing the shroud are all to block the yang, right? I can understand that if you don't speak, you are afraid that the yang will leak out, but there is a problem. In case something happens when you go in, how can we communicate?" I asked. .

The third uncle said: "Look at my eyes and gestures, whether you can understand it or not depends on your comprehension ability."

"Okay..." I responded, and suddenly felt something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "No, third uncle, are you kidding me? You don't turn on the flashlight when you go in, it's pitch black, how do you want me to see your winks and gestures?"

The third uncle gave me a sideways look with disdain, shook his head a little resentfully, took out two candles from his pocket, waved them in front of my eyes, sighed slightly, and was about to open the door.

I curled my lips, if I don't understand clearly, can't I ask one more question?
The third uncle walked to the door, turned around again and said: "The incense in our hands is indeed to block the yang energy. It is also used to calculate the time, which means that we only have the time for this stick of incense. There is no chance to change the incense."

I glanced at the incense in my hand, seeing that almost a quarter of the incense had been burned, I hurriedly said: "Third Uncle, this incense has been burned so much, let's replace it with a complete incense first, in case There is a little change inside, and we can buy more time."

"No, you can't change the incense once it's burnt, or it's unlucky. So after you go in, you have to move quickly, quickly, and don't delay..."

I was even angrier when I heard that, since this is the case, you ordered the fragrant dried chicken feathers so early?And it's still blah blah blah.

I waved my hand and pointed to the door, only then did Third Uncle stop talking, nodded, took out the key, and opened the door again.

After a lapse of one day, we came to this haunted house again.Compared to last time, my heart beats faster than I know how many times.Although I was scared last time, ignorant people are fearless, so I went in without thinking too much.But this time is different, I know how many ghosts there are, and there is a very powerful baby ghost who is willing to find me, but I still have to send it to my door, this feeling can't be worse.

I kept praying in my heart, hoping that this unreliable third uncle's method would be more reliable this time.

Uncle San had already opened the door, and I stood behind Uncle San and took a quick glance inside, but luckily I didn't see the ghost at the door that day.

We walked in one after the other. I don't know if it was an illusion. I feel that the temperature in the room today is much lower than that of that day.I can't feel the wind, but I can feel the body is wrapped in the cold, and my hands and feet are a little numb.

The third uncle turned around, and by the moonlight at the door, I saw the third uncle's face, and I almost screamed out.

The third uncle's face turned pale at some point, without any blood color, and with the shroud he was wearing, he looked like a dead person lying in a coffin.

The difference is that the dead man is lying down, he is standing, the dead man has his eyes closed, while he is open.

But I understood in an instant that my current appearance is probably also due to this virtue.

The third uncle blinked at me, sniffed, and inhaled the smoke from the incense offering in his hand.Then he looked satisfied.

I don't know why, so I followed his example and inhaled the offering incense.A warm current entered the body from the nasal cavity, which quickly relieved the coldness on his body.

The third uncle nodded in satisfaction, handed me a candle to light up, and pointed to the ground.

This candle is a piece of white wax, which is much thicker than what we use every day, and the surface of the wax is much smoother. I don't know what material it is made of.I followed my third uncle's instructions and put the lit white wax on the ground.The root of white wax is very thick, and it is also very stable when standing on the ground.

In this way, every three steps, the third uncle took out a piece of white wax and handed it to me as if by magic, and I lit it and put it on the ground.

This wax goes all the way up to where the stairs are.

I followed behind and was about to go upstairs, when suddenly my feet went soft, as if I had stepped on something, it was soft.

I looked down, and the ground was the puppet I threw out that day.

That puppet was given to me by my third uncle to save my life in a critical moment. He also told me about this puppet. Its stomach is sewn with the lanugo hairs of five babies of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. It is used to pretend to be a child to deceive that confinement child. Ghost.

But the puppet that appeared at his feet was really terrifying.

The head of the puppet was severed, and the belly was cut open by something, and half of the lanugo hair inside was exposed, which was hairy.

I was shocked, no one lived in this house for a long time, when I threw it out, the doll was still intact, who destroyed this doll like this?If someone came in during the day, he obviously wouldn't be so interested in this doll.

What's even more frightening is that we walked all the way, and there seemed to be nothing on the ground. How did this puppet appear under my feet?

If it was a confinement trick, then the trick of wearing shrouds, holding incense, and trying to hide the yang energy in our bodies, has it been seen through?
The more I thought about it, the bigger my head became, and the more I thought about it, the more terrifying I felt. I stood still and dared not move, and kept shivering.

It's definitely not that I'm timid. Before I came in, I made several assumptions myself, but after I came in, this kind of invisible and intangible fear would make people extremely psychologically broken.This feeling of psychological collapse will appear from time to time for a long time after me.

I also suddenly remembered that many so-called scholars have demonstrated that after people enter the so-called haunted house, they are not killed by ghosts, but they frighten themselves to death.

After I stopped, Third Uncle noticed something unusual and turned around to look at me.

I hurriedly pointed to the puppet on the ground, and my third uncle was startled when he saw it.But he reacted quickly, shook his head at me, and pointed to the stairs.

He told me to leave it alone and continue upstairs.

I took another sip of the offering incense in my hand. We dressed up like this, taking a sip of the aroma really calmed our minds.

The third uncle took me up the stairs, and we also left two sticks of white wax on the stairs, and went up to the second floor smoothly.

During this period, except for the weird puppet that appeared under the feet, no other accidents really happened. It seems that the third uncle's method has worked.

After we went up to the second floor, the third uncle didn't hesitate at all, and went straight to the room where the Madura flower seedlings were placed.

I glanced at the incense offering in my hand, it was already half burnt.

The third uncle asked me to put a stick of white wax at the door. He took a deep breath of the fragrance, gently opened the door and walked into the room.

By the light of the candle, I saw the third uncle's figure swaying in the room.After about a minute, he walked out with a pot of flowers in his arms.

I breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that everything went better than I expected.

But it was too early for me to be happy. Just as Uncle San was walking out of the room with the flower pot in his arms, two light spots suddenly appeared behind him.

Since Uncle San's body blocked most of the candle light, I couldn't see what the light behind him was coming from.

All I could see was the faint green light from the light spot, which flickered and flickered, which was very scary.The height of the light spot is not very high, less than a foot away from the ground.

My head was buzzing, and the light spot was more like the eyes of something. According to this height, could it be that ghost baby?
I was just about to remind Uncle San when I heard a strange cry from the room, a bit like our usual sound of tearing paper, but much louder and more sudden than that.

The strange cry that came out without warning made my already tense nerves unable to stretch anymore.

I opened my mouth to shout, but my mouth was covered by the hand stretched out by the third uncle in time.

The third uncle stood stiffly at the door and shook his head slightly at me.

I nodded and kept reminding myself that only by cheering myself up can I stabilize myself.

But I still couldn't help myself not to look into the room, and I saw the two lights flashing away from the ground, and then a group of black shadows appeared on the third uncle's shoulder.

Now I finally saw clearly that the black shadow turned out to be a jet-black black cat.

The two dark green lights are naturally its eyes.

There is actually a black cat in this room?My nerves relax, a black cat is naturally not as scary as a ghost.

The situation changed rapidly, and my nerves relaxed for a while, and then I became nervous again, because I saw Uncle San's face was even uglier.

He stood there, holding the flower pot forward, as if he wanted to hand it to me.It's just that his body is motionless, winking at me, and opening and closing his mouth at the same time.

I recognized it, and judging from his mouth shape, he was saying a word to me.

The word is, run!

Let me run again?My head buzzed, it was clear we were in much worse trouble than I had imagined.

At this time, my impression of Uncle San changed a lot in my heart.At critical times, he still cared about my safety the most, and he was able to stay alone to deal with the danger, so that I could escape unscathed.

Fortunately, my mind was still clear at the time, and I was not chaotic in the face of danger.Before running away, he didn't forget to gently take the flower pots and flower seedlings from third uncle's hand.

I took the flower pot and gestured at my third uncle, take care.

After finishing speaking, I hugged the flowerpot, turned around and walked downstairs.

Who knew that I had just taken two steps when I heard that strange cry coming from behind me again.

A group of black shadows rushed over suddenly, I felt my shoulders sink, and the black cat jumped onto my shoulders.

I was so frightened that I immediately saw Uncle San squeeze past me holding the incense stick, and ran downstairs without looking back.

"Fuck."

I couldn't help but scolded my third uncle in my heart, and it's a good thing I praised you just now.In such a short time, he sold me. I said how could he let me take the flowerpot, and the black cat chased after the flowerpot.I brought the flower pot over, and naturally the black cat was attracted.

Unsurprisingly, I was tricked by my third uncle again. Everyone is a cheating father, and he is a cheating nephew.

I wanted to chase after it, but I heard a low growl from the black cat on my shoulder.

I also realized for the first time that the roar of this cat can also make people feel so scared.

I can even smell a rancid smell coming from the black cat's mouth...
