I am a feudalist, and when I am placed with many people under the new trend of thought, I naturally become their opposite. Soldiers are sacred, I have no doubt about that, but soldiers are also intimidating to people like me. It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of positions, the leader and the female soldier in front of me and I should definitely be sworn enemies.
The other party's attitude left me at a loss. So I said to the leader, if you have any request, just ask, I am a supporter of the army, and I will do my best as long as it is within my capabilities. These remarks are what I always say to my guests, but this time I didn't expect them to be soldiers.
The leader took my hand and sat down on the sofa, and the female soldier also sat on the single sofa opposite us. Judging from the things in this house, although it is not magnificent, it is still very high-standard for ordinary people like us. This leader can live in a separate house in the military compound, have his own guards, and have soldiers patrolling and standing guard. All these phenomena show that his official position is not low. It is precisely because of this that I feel particularly uneasy. I know that a person with his status and political background would never come to a mountain village to find me at night unless he had to. In other words, if I do this well, that’s it. If I don’t do it well, I guess My life was also difficult.
The leader said that his surname was Liu, and that the female soldier looked like his lover. She was an art soldier in the military art troupe, with the rank of major. This time he came to me because he had no other choice, because he couldn't find my master. When Leader Liu said this, I suddenly became alert. Could it be that he wanted to use my relationship to kill both of us, master and disciple? Leader Liu said that in his early years when the civil war was still going on, he was helped by my master once, but the war was in chaos at that time, and he didn't have time to thank him properly, so he couldn't find anyone. He was assigned to this military subdivision last year. The organization considered that his lover and children were here, so they made such a decision to reunite the glorious military family.
Only then did I feel relieved. Leader Liu went on to say that at first this year, everything was fine, except that the political movement divided into factions on the street became more and more intense. The troops are under the direct control of the state. If the state does not order to stop them, the soldiers can only be more alert to what is happening in front of them, but they cannot suppress it, because suppressing it at this moment means going against the leader. Leader Liu told me that in the past few months from the end of last year to now, there have been some strange movements in this house that we used to live in well. At first, we all thought it was mice or something else, but later, Things gradually became serious. It has become serious enough to affect our normal life.
At this time, Leader Liu’s lover took over and said, I’m asking you to come this time. In fact, I was opposed to it at first, but Leader Liu kept insisting, so I agreed. She told me that she was an atheist personally, but strange things happened one after another at home, and her husband also believed in these things, so she gradually began to waver. When there was any movement, the first thing that came to mind was not some explanation. It's a scientific phenomenon, but a metaphysics that I can't explain. She told me that our leader Liu had been favored by your master in his early years. After the incident in our family happened this time, leader Liu proposed to find Mr. Lin Qishan, but we inquired for a long time and could not find your master. Leader Liu was wondering if your master had been arrested and imprisoned during the movement, so he went to investigate the information of various arrested elements. In the end, he failed to find Mr. Lin Qishan, but found you instead.
I sighed in my heart. It turned out that when I was arrested and then my master robbed me of prison, I finally had this record on my resume. Although I didn’t study much, I also knew that since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the population problem has become more and more serious. It has become the country's survival plan, so experience like this will follow a person for a lifetime.
Leader Liu said, after you were released, there was no other information about you that I could find. So we sent people everywhere to inquire, either to find your master or to find you, so we rashly invited you here today. Listening to Leader Liu's tone, he mentioned a "release", that is to say, when Master rescued me, it was a shameful thing for those who captured me, so he simply wrote that I was released. I felt relaxed all of a sudden, and the situation I was most worried about would probably not happen, so I asked Leader Liu, if you could tell me a little more carefully about the strange things you just said about your family.
Leader Liu stood up and took my hand to a room. After opening the door, there was a faint light inside, but with the light, I could see a bed with a young man lying on the bed. Leader Liu said, this is the only son of my wife and I. He is entangled in something, so he asked you to come and save his life.
The young man on the bed seemed to be a few years younger than me. Maybe it was because of the night, and the lights in the room were also very dim, giving the room a depressing feeling. Leader Liu closed the door and took me back to sit on the sofa. He then told me that he only moved into this house when the organization transferred him here. There were no problems in the first few days, but at the end of the year During that time, when we were sleeping at night, we could always hear the sound of sharp things scratching on the wooden boards. Our family lives in this building. My office and study are upstairs, and the downstairs is empty. At first, they thought it was a rat and put rat poison on the stairs. However, not only did it have no effect, the situation became worse and worse.
Leader Liu said that the sound of paddling the wooden planks first appeared once every night, and then progressed to occur all night long, with an interval of only about ten minutes, and the sound became louder and louder. After our child graduated from middle school, he has been dancing with his mother in the art troupe. He is a very lively and healthy child. Gradually, because of the sound, he has trouble sleeping at night and is listless every day.
I asked, since the sound happened all night long, why didn't you find someone to investigate after you heard it? There are so many soldiers here, and you can just find a few. Leader Liu said that after checking, there was nothing. The sound came from the ceiling, but it was my office above. And sometimes when I'm in the office, I hear that voice coming from under my feet. This floor is separated by two layers of wooden boards. Even mice cannot get into the floor.
Leader Liu went on to say that since he could not find out the reason, he would write an application to the organization and say that he wanted to change his residence. In terms of his current official position, this is simply not a big deal. But on the night when he made the report, his son suddenly woke up with a startled scream while sleeping until midnight. The couple were frightened and rushed to their son's room to see. They found their son squatting on the corner of the bed with his head raised and looking at the ceiling above his head, with a very frightened expression. Leader Liu's lover interjected and said, we asked what was wrong with the child at that time, but our child had a small problem. When he got anxious, he would stutter when he spoke. After asking for a long time, he didn't say anything. At this moment, Our leader Liu also started screaming.
I turned to look at Leader Liu. He had a serious and anxious expression, as if he was recalling the scene at that time. I asked him why you were screaming, what did you see? Leader Liu nodded and said that he saw a woman in white clothes with her back to the ceiling on the ceiling. Her hair was long, and the hanging hair covered her face. Her hands were hanging down like her hair, but only Hands, without palms and fingers. It looked like it had been crushed by something and was bleeding. And the reason why I saw her was because the blood dripped on my head.
So I said to Leader Liu, let me guess, when you were dripped with blood, you must have stretched out your hand to wipe it and then looked up to see it, right? Leader Liu nodded and said yes. I added, let me guess again, after you wiped the blood, you actually found that there was no blood on your hands, right? Leader Liu looked at me a little surprised and said, yes, how did you know? I told him a little proudly, because this is a common trick of ghosts, using things to attract you and create an inevitable relationship with it, and then you can see it. The dripping blood is the evidence for you to see it. I turned to Leader Liu’s lover and said, so your children must have experienced actions similar to wiping off blood before seeing this ghost. And you said you are an atheist. Let me make a bold guess. You didn’t feel any blood. It drips on you, right?
What I said made the middle-aged couple in front of me stunned. Judging by the look on their faces, I mean, it's a pretty good score. I told the couple that nothing happened when you moved in, but these commotions and scary scenes happened at the end of the year. There are only two possibilities, either there was a death in this house, and the dead person looked like he had two broken bones. A woman wearing white clothes died. Either you went somewhere during those days and brought back a ghost from another place.
I stood up, pointed around and said, this is the place where the army belongs. Logically speaking, the army has a lot of yang energy. You may think that these phenomena will not happen. In fact, the duty of the army is to protect the homeland and the country. , the price of defending the country must be to kill the enemy. Therefore, the murderous aura of the troops is also very strong, so strong that even the ghosts dare not approach. At the same time, the troops have enough resentment, so once a ghost invades, it is likely to become a road that all ghosts can enter and exit.
I pointed to the child's room and said: There is a road leading directly to your house.
