The sky finally darkened, night had fallen, and a strange aura filled the entire village. Even the moon was hidden in the clouds. It was only three minutes into the night, and it was already so dark outside that you couldn't even see your fingers.
I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see the situation in the yard later, so I had no choice but to run out and light two candles in the corner of the yard.
After doing all this, I lay on the window with my quilt wrapped around my body and watched intently.
I held the two Five Thunder Talismans tightly in my hands, and even on my back, I had a charm to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits to prevent unclean things from getting on me.
Time seems to have been deliberately slowed down, probably because I am too nervous, and it always feels like time passes very slowly.
But when midnight comes, it feels like it’s already midnight in just a blink of an eye!
There is still no movement in the yard, and the headless figure from last night has not appeared, but the candles in the yard are almost burning out!
"It's damn good."
I cursed, then jumped out of bed, took two candles and lit them in the yard.
This candle looks quite big, but if it is not burned, it will burn out in a few hours!
I lit the candle and was about to go back to the house when an evil wind suddenly blew in the yard. The candle I had just lit was blown out!
I suddenly felt a chill on my back, and I didn't care about the candle. I hurried back into the house and closed the door hard.
After entering the house, my heart was pounding and I couldn't calm down for a while.
This sudden evil wind really scared me. I thought that thing was coming!
I climbed up to the window and took a look. It was dark in the yard and I couldn't see anything.
Damn it, if I had known better, I wouldn’t have gone out to light candles, but I didn’t even mention it, and it scared me.
It is very bad for people to be suddenly frightened at night, especially when they encounter evil things or in evil places. They may lose their souls.
For example, people with relatively weak bodies are prone to this phenomenon, and once they lose their souls, they will also attract some unclean things.
This is like a temple without gods, and the mountain spirits naturally become frequent visitors.
I know something about these things, so of course I won’t lose my mind, but it’s quite uncomfortable to be frightened like this.
The wind started to blow outside, and the electric wires whined, which was very disturbing, but other than that, nothing strange happened in the second half of the night.
It seems that Ergouzi won't come to see me tonight!
As soon as I relaxed, I fell asleep directly.
I slept so darkly that when I woke up the next day, it was already almost noon!
The northwest wind is still blowing "whirring", and now it's the windy season!
I got up and had some food, and then went to Li Sanxi's house again, mainly to see if his mother-in-law was okay. At that time, when the King of Hell was beheaded, Li Sanxi's mother-in-law had touched the body. Logically speaking, she would not survive for a few days. sky.
But I went over and took a look, and I saw that the person was fine, and there was no bad luck on his face, which was a bit strange.
But that's a good thing. After all, I'm not the kind of person who looks forward to death all day long. Of course, immortality is the best!
I went home and took some money from my father, and then went to the town to buy some things. I planned to go to Wolong Ridge first. After all, the marriage proposal couldn't be delayed for too long.
Wolong Ridge is only twenty miles away from the town, but this place is not open to traffic, so I have to walk. It was almost dark when I walked there!
This place is considered a village. Although it is located in a remote area, tens of thousands of people live here. The town has all kinds of hotels and restaurants. It is said that many tourists come to visit this mountain every year, which has led to the popularity of this place. part of the economy, so the people in the town are relatively wealthy.
The Chen family is a large family in Wolong Ridge, so it is easy to inquire. I asked a random child, and the other party took me directly to the gate of the Chen family.
But before leaving, the kid asked me for five yuan, saying it was for traveling expenses.
This place is developing tourism, so people in the town naturally know how to make money from outsiders, including children!
I looked at the old house in front of me. The house was very old, and the architectural style tended to be from the late Qing Dynasty. It looked a little older!
There is also a pair of stone lions placed in front of the door, which are full of mottled marks and even cracks. On the other hand, the two red-painted wooden doors looked slightly newer, and they should have been painted not long ago.
I stepped forward and knocked on the door, and someone quickly answered!
"I'm coming!"
The person who opened the door was a rural woman in her forties, wearing simple clothes, with a dark face and fine red bloodshot eyes on her cheeks.
It is caused by year-round sunshine and the cold wind from the northwest. It is a characteristic of our area, just like the plateau red on the faces of nomadic people in the plateau area.
I guessed that this should be a servant of the Chen family, otherwise the women in a wealthy family like theirs would not be dressed like this.
"Are you here to see Mr. Chen?"
The village woman stood behind the door and looked at me politely.
"Yes, I'm from Lijiatun."
I said with a smile.
"Oh, I know, it's my uncle, Mr. Chen said you should be here in the next few days, please come in."
The village woman's face suddenly lit up with joy, and she quickly invited me into the yard.
This title makes me somewhat uncomfortable. After all, in this day and age, how can anyone be called uncle?
The village woman took me into the living room, poured me a cup of tea, and then went to the backyard to greet the host.
I looked around in the room boredly for a while. The furniture and furnishings here were all very antique. The tables and chairs were all made of mahogany. There were also a few paintings of landscapes and calligraphy hung on the wall. I didn’t know anything about this stuff, so I couldn’t see anything good. rely.
However, the cards of a wealthy family are displayed vividly.
I looked at the betrothal gift at my feet, and suddenly I felt a little shabby. The total amount of tobacco and alcohol did not exceed 500 yuan.
Just when I was feeling embarrassed, a beautiful middle-aged woman suddenly walked in from outside the door.
This woman must be quite old, but she is extremely well-maintained and has a curvy figure. Her whole body exudes the unique charm of a mature woman.
I quickly stood up from the chair and looked at the other party with some restraint.
"Sit down, don't be restrained."
The beautiful middle-aged woman smiled, then sat on a chair opposite me, and then began to look at me from head to toe.
That look made me feel uncomfortable, as if I was looking at a piece of jewelry to see if there were any flaws.
"If you don't come again, we will have to go to your house to find you!"
The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and said.
"Um...Auntie, are you..."
I'm not sure whether she is Chen Ling's mother.
"You should call me mother-in-law."
The middle-aged beautiful woman rolled her eyes at me and said.
Sure enough, it's true.
The mother-in-law almost looks the same when looking at her son-in-law.
"Uncle Chen isn't there?"
I quickly changed the topic, feeling that it would be easier to talk to Chen Yunqi.
"He's out and will be back soon. Why don't you go see Ling'er first!"
The mother-in-law said with a smile.
"Um...anything is fine."
The expression on my face was almost frozen with embarrassment!
Fortunately, my mother-in-law didn't drag me along to continue our awkward conversation, and took me directly to the backyard to see Chen Ling!
"Go in, Ling'er is in the house!"
My mother-in-law led me to the door, turned around and left!
The way she walked was very enchanting, and her plump buttocks swayed.
I quickly turned away, then reached out and knocked on the door.
There was the sound of things breaking in the house, but no one answered.
"Chen Ling, it's me."
I had no choice but to shout, but still no one answered.
what's the situation? Afraid to see me?
I couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, so I stretched out my hand and pushed it tentatively, and the door actually opened!
Chen Ling was wearing a milky white pajamas and sitting at the table with her hair down. At her feet were the broken teapot fragments on the ground.
But she didn't clean it up, she just sat blankly beside the table, motionless.
"Chen Ling?"
I entered the room and called her tentatively, but she still didn't respond at all, and the expression on her face was dull, and her eyes had no luster at all, and they were very empty.
