"Brother Tian!" Yu Xiaoxue was trembling violently, and I could feel the coldness all over her body.
However, the girl's body temperature and the feelings swelled in her chest made me embarrassed and I was about to say a few words of comfort, but the door suddenly opened as if someone had pushed it open again!
My sister-in-law hurriedly pulled the corner of my clothes. I was so shocked that I immediately stood up and even pulled Yu Xiaoxue back two steps.
Outside the door, I don’t know when a group of people stood there. They all looked disheveled and had livid faces. Could it be that they hadn’t eaten in two days? I thought in disgust.
But I know these people. They are all uncles and aunts in the village, and many of them are even children.
Many young people go out to work, mostly middle-aged and elderly people and children.
Are they all going to burn incense together?
Soon, my expression, which was still a little warm, slowly stiffened, because these people had no intention of taking another step forward.
"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, are you coming to offer incense?" I calmed down the fear in my heart and asked a middle-aged couple standing in the middle of the crowd from a distance.
What made me feel a sudden chill in my heart was that Uncle Li and Aunt Li looked at the incense in the basin as if they didn't hear me at all.
And several children were sucking their fingers, looking like they had eaten candy, and giggling. In my opinion, the smiles were gloomy and permeable.
Could it be...
My heart was beating wildly, and the chill was rushing towards me like it was being vented from all directions. I found that my calves were shaking uncontrollably, because these things that I had never believed in were washing over my nerves.
"God... Brother Tian... they... they won't come in to burn incense, because when I burn the incense, they stand at the door and watch me burn it. As soon as the incense goes out, they leave, and they don't agree to my request... ..." Yu Xiaoxue stammered to me, her face turned white with fear.
After listening to this, my brain seemed to explode with a bang: I said Yu Xiaoxue, Yu Xiaoxue, should I say that you are naive and simple, or should I say that you are thick-headed and brainless? Don't you think there's anything wrong with the incense burning so quickly? It's the group of 'things' in front of you that are eating!
I was in a dilemma. I couldn't stop burning incense, but as soon as I burned it, it would attract these "dirty things". I had never seen ghosts before, but now, I saw a group of them all at once!
"Can you see them?"
Yu Xiaoxue nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes!"
"You don't know what they are?" I stared at Yu Xiaoxue in confusion, speechless. What a big brain this girl has!
Yu Xiaoxue shook her head at first, then seemed to understand, and covered her mouth with her hands, unable to say a word.
Not to mention that Yu Xiaoxue would be like this, even for me, this is the first time I have seen such a ghost.
My sister-in-law grabbed the hem of my clothes and showed no sign of letting go this time. I couldn't take a step forward. Of course, I didn't dare to get close to them. I could only watch them enjoy the incense here.
I heard from my grandma that people who come into contact with ghosts can get seriously ill or lose their souls in severe cases. I used to come into contact with too many ghosts, so I often got seriously ill.
As the three incense sticks burned out the one that burned the fastest, several of them began to slowly turn their heads to look at Yu Xiaoxue and me, as if they wanted to walk in, but something seemed to be blocking them from the door.
"Brother Tian, my dad's soul is also out there, but he ignored me no matter what I told him in the past two days. He left as soon as I got close to him... Even when I came home, I saw him standing at the door and ran home to him. Just avoid me..." Yu Xiaoxue's eyes were red and she said at a loss.
Uncle Yu Gen's ghost was indeed standing outside, lost in the crowd, relatively far away.
I saw that Yu Xiaoxue was already showing signs of mental breakdown, and I was surprised. It seemed that she was not completely innocent, but had encountered something unbearable before, which caused her to miss an important memory, making her recognize I know there are some deviations.
I started to think of Zhang Yidan, so I changed the topic and asked her: "Where is your brother Yidan? Have you seen him?"
Yu Xiaoxue came to her senses after hearing my question: "On the day my mother-in-law passed away, Brother Dan and his sister-in-law left the village and never came back."
I was relieved when I heard this, but I lost my mind again: Yidan brought his wife? Then why did I see him alone on the way into the village? It's been two days since he left the village!
Could it be...
Zhang Yidan is dead?
I'm a little sad. My little friend is dead. Now I and Yu Xiaoxue are like clowns on the stage, being observed by the group of 'things' outside, and we may end up here soon.
I almost wanted to close the door, but I couldn't leave the place at all. My wife-in-law held me tightly and refused to let me pass. This was a direct restriction on my movement.
I was thinking of other ways, but the two doors started to creak. I suddenly looked outside. Uncle Li and Aunt Li and a group of people in the village all had expressions that were half-smiling but not smiling. Their gray faces said no. Out of the weird.
"Burn incense!" Watching the last incense burn out in the ash basin, I quickly asked Yu Xiaoxue to let the incense continue burning, at least until dawn tomorrow.
Yu Xiaoxue seemed to have sobered up a lot after I arrived, and realized something was wrong with the situation. Her little body was trembling, and she took a few incense sticks and lit them.
The incense I burned this time was the same as the one I burned. It was weirdly different in length and it was still the 'incense of evil'. It seemed like we two couldn't be good tonight.
After the incense burned, the surrounding wind calmed down, and the group of ghosts outside the door stopped being restless. The important thing is that my wife's letting go made me temporarily relieved.
But then I suddenly thought that Yu Xiaoxue was the only living person in the village. Why could she be safe and sound in Xiaoyitun?
"Xue, think about it carefully, what was grandma doing before she died? What were the people in the village doing? When did these ghosts appear?" I asked her quietly.
After hearing me say the word 'ghost', Yu Xiaoxue's little face lost all color in an instant, and she sat next to me holding her knees.
"Two days before my mother-in-law passed away, we asked everyone in Xiaoyitun to pack up and leave. I didn't know what happened at that time, and the adults became a mess. Lu Xu, who had elderly people at home, all left. , but there are also some old people who are nostalgic and have not left."
Yu Xiaoxue recalled it with lingering fear, and glanced at Uncle Li and Aunt Li at the door.
Uncle Li's name is Li Changkun, and he is the head of the village. If he doesn't leave, it will be normal, and if he doesn't leave, it will affect most people to a great extent.
As for those with elderly people at home, they are people who have lived in Xiaoyitun when grandma first came here. They all know grandma’s abilities, while young people may not have experienced anything evil, so they have no trust in grandma.
"My mother-in-law tried to persuade them for a long time to no avail, and then asked me to persuade my father to discuss with Uncle Li, but my father refused to listen to me even after I went there. After my mother-in-law passed away, there was heavy fog in Xiaoyi Village. Everyone started to have a cold and fever, and then coughed up blood."
Yu Xiaoxue's chest began to rise and fall obviously, and then he glanced at Uncle Yu Gen who was staring at the room at the door with fear, and said doubtfully: "I remember that I also had a cold and fever, but then, I slept for two days and two nights, and woke up Well, dad seems to be well too, but he keeps avoiding me..."
According to Yu Xiaoxue, the death of her grandmother caused the roads in Xiaoyi Village to be filled with fog, which was also the cause of everyone's death. But in this era, a cold and a fever can kill people, so that's a bit ridiculous.
I don't know why Yu Xiaoxue didn't die when everyone in Xiaoyitun died, but I quickly blamed it on my grandmother. Maybe she gave Yu Xiaoxue some powerful evil-proof items.
It's like the Yin Tong Talisman on my body. Thinking of the paper talisman, I immediately took it out, held it in my hand, and tried shaking it a few times. The next moment, Yu Xiaoxue and I saw the Yin Soul Body outside almost at the same time. It's a little unstable. It seems that the reason why they don't dare to approach us comes largely from this talisman.
The Tongyin Talisman is something drawn with pure Yang essence and blood, which can communicate with ghosts and gods and ward off evil spirits.
However, I also clearly felt that the color of the paper charm was much darker than before. It seemed that although this thing was good, it was not very durable. When it expired, it would probably be the end of Yu Xiaoxue and I.
"Have you ever seen this thing?" The only explanation for why Yu Xiaoxue has been safe and sound these days is that she also has this talisman.
"It's my mother-in-law's Yin Talisman!" Yu Xiaoxue answered me, but her eyes were wide open and she covered her mouth.
She probably also saw that the ghosts at the door were a little unstable. Now she would be really crazy if she still thought they were human beings.
"It seems you know this." I nodded.
"My mother-in-law burned it into talisman water a few days ago... and drank it for me. It was so disgusting." Yu Xiaoxue's face turned horribly white. She was trying hard to digest the fact that the things outside were indeed ghosts.
But I slapped my head: Yes! How could I forget this! The Tongyin Talisman can be burned and taken with water to double the effectiveness! Now holding it in hand like this is pretentious. Although it looks majestic, its effectiveness is greatly reduced.
I picked up a disposable cup and was about to light the Tongyin Talisman, but when I reached out my hand to light it, my sister-in-law grabbed me.
I suddenly looked outside. At this moment, Uncle Li and Aunt Li had round eyes and a ferocious smile. It seemed that they were planning to pounce on me while I was burning the talisman paper. It's amazing, a group of ghosts can kill me even if they fight for their lives.
I quickly put the Tongyin Talisman back into my wallet. I was so worried that I almost did something stupid because of my greed.
Yu Xiaoxue didn't understand and asked me why I wasn't like her. I had to say that I couldn't get used to eating this food.
"The incense is about to burn out again." I asked Yu Xiaoxue to continue burning the incense, and I began to think about the next thing.
Judging from the time it took for the characters of Tong Yin Fu to disappear, I can still hold on for two or three days at most. As for how long Yu Xiaoxue can hold on, I don’t know, but judging from her current expression, it will definitely not be too long. After all, I am alone here. After staying in Xiaoyitun, which is full of filthy things, for a few days, I guess it won't be much better if I don't die.
Once the yin energy overtakes her yang energy, the day of death will come immediately. This time she will not catch a cold, but will just cough up blood, and then die.
I couldn't figure out a way because I had never encountered such a thing. After thinking about it, I decided to go to my grandma's bedroom to have a look. It would be best if I could find the extra Tongyin Talisman. Even if it didn't work, I might be able to find what grandma left behind. clues about this matter.
So in order to save Yu Xiaoxue, I ignored my wife's sister's obstruction, stood up and walked towards my grandmother's bedroom, but in just a blink of an eye, I was grabbed by the corner of my clothes.
I was so angry that I wanted to pull away my sister's hand, but a solid feeling came over me, and my heart suddenly went cold: Sister-in-law, are you here to join in the fun?
