What is a ghost treat?
As the name suggests, the ghost invites you to its home!
Legend has it that some old ghosts have been entrenched in a cemetery for a long time and have not reincarnated in the underworld. You will regard yourself as the owner of that cemetery.
When it sees a festive day, it will send out its ghosts to find some "guests" to attend the banquet.
Generally speaking, ghosts will naturally not invite living people.
The people invited were all weird things, such as foxes, wild dogs, toads, snakes, mice... and the like.
But there are exceptions!
Usually in this situation, things like sedan chairs and sliding poles will appear inexplicably in the wilderness.
Therefore, when people in the countryside are on their way in the middle of the night, they are most afraid of encountering something like this suddenly appearing.
But in our area, there haven't been similar rumors of evil for many years. Everyone has almost forgotten this strange and terrifying legend.
If I hadn't really encountered this red sedan blocking the road today, and if my grandfather hadn't happened to tell me this story, I wouldn't have known about it...
But knowing it is of no use, and it makes me even more scared.
I looked at the red sedan in front of me. It was neither moving forward nor retreating.
And it was getting closer and closer to dawn, but the surroundings felt darker and darker, and the light mist began to become thicker.
The line of sight was blocked, and the road a little further ahead could not be seen.
"Oops! I'm afraid I'll be in trouble today."
I secretly thought it was bad.
However, following Aunt Qin these years, I still learned a little bit about it.
He quickly bit his middle finger and smeared the blood in the center of his eyebrows to form a vertical line. In this way, evil spirits can be seen more clearly.
You won't be so blinded by their blindness.
Sure enough, in my eyes, the thick fog that had just surged around me dissipated again. Only the normal natural light fog is left, which does not block the view seriously.
"Since this ghost sedan insists on blocking my road, then I will leave the path alone. I don't believe it!"
Thinking of this, I turned directly onto the narrow field bank next to the dirt road.
He hid the old duck and eggs he was carrying on his back in a bush, planning to pick them up again during the day - his life was so important now that he could not care about these external things.
Then I walked quickly to the right along the field ridge. From there, there was a small forest where I could take a shortcut back to the village!
When I was about to enter the woods, I looked back.
The sedan was still parked at the mountain col intersection, giving off an eerie and eerie atmosphere in the mist.
"run!"
Without the basket and bamboo basket, I feel relaxed and can run faster.
But a thought suddenly came to my mind that made me break out in a cold sweat: Could this evil sedan appear in the woods?
Then I discovered that when this person was unlucky, his teeth would get clogged even if he drank cold water. When it comes to things you are afraid of, just do whatever you want.
When I ran deep into the woods, about halfway home, the red-painted sedan appeared again!
It was placed in the forest clearing in front, exuding a gloomy atmosphere.
What makes people feel even more numb is that this time the curtain of the red sedan is still open!
Through the moonlight that leaks through the branches of the trees, you can still see the black seats inside the sedan...
At this time, a cold wind blew.
I couldn't help but shudder.
This abominable ghost sedan is really haunting.
I wanted to run again, but at this moment, I suddenly heard footsteps in the woods behind me.
It was like someone was walking, stepping on dead branches and leaves, making a crisp crunching sound.
"somebody is coming!"
I was overjoyed.
Because ghosts are ethereal in nature, they naturally walk lightly and make no sound.
There are footsteps now, which means it must be someone coming!
As long as there is even one person with me, most of that fear will be eliminated immediately. In addition, I am quite courageous myself, so I won’t have to be afraid of this sedan at all.
But when I looked back, I took a look in the moonlight.
Suddenly my heart dropped!
Because what came was indeed not a ghost, but... it was four dirty-looking paper figures!
These paper figures were obviously placed in front of graves as offerings to the dead. They were all made of black paper toad shoes. Some of the clothes on their bodies were white and some were green. Their faces were all made of white paper. It was pale and pale in the moonlight, with just two clusters of blush, which was very abrupt and strange in the dark night.
The four paper figures walked stiffly, but their speed was not slow.
I was just stunned for a moment and arrived in front of me.
"Oh my god! I will fight with you!"
I squatted down and wanted to pick up the stone, but suddenly I found that I was so soft that I couldn't move. His eyelids were also drowsy, his body went limp, his vision went dark, and he lost consciousness.
The last thought in my mind at that time was: Didn’t I say that Yuzi’s horoscope and destiny were special, and that she was highly resistant to evil spirits’ ecstasy?
Why are you so vulnerable?
When I regained consciousness, I opened my eyes and found myself lying on a bed.
what's going on? Couldn't I be stunned by four weird paper figures?
I woke up immediately.
With a swish, he sat up from the bed.
I found that it was in a large antique room, which looked quite luxurious.
The bed I slept on was very big, with solid wooden pillars on the four corners, and something like a mosquito net hanging on it... It obviously felt like a big family's home.
"It's strange. Was I saved by someone passing by? But where is this? I didn't know there were such rich families near our village."
I muttered silently in my heart and carefully prepared to get out of bed.
As soon as your feet hit the ground, put on your shoes.
With a creak, the door opened.
A young man wearing a pair of coarse cloth clothes walked in - he seemed to be about the same age as me, but not as tall or mature as me.
His face was very pale, and he was holding a brass basin with water in his hand. There was a towel hanging on his arm.
"Guest, are you awake?"
he said with a smile.
The doubts in my heart became more and more intense, and I looked at him warily: "Where are you? Who are you?"
The young man put down the washbasin, put the towel into the water, and answered me: "This is Zhao's house. The housekeeper at home passed by the woods and saw you lying unconscious on the ground, so he brought you back. As for me, I am Zhao A servant of the house.”
I see!
I nodded, but I just felt strange, what age is this? Are there any servants?
Moreover, the style of clothes this person is wearing is the same as those people in the TV series "Shanghai Beach" that I watched on the TV series "Shanghai Beach" at the home of Liu Datou, the richest man in the village who runs a canteen.
I will go to junior high school next month. Of course I know that "Shanghai Beach" is set in the Republic of China era. This is the old society, seventy or eighty years ago!
Why are there still people wearing clothes from that time?
I turned to look out the window. It was dark and it was not yet bright.
It seems that I was not unconscious for long.
"Brother, thank you very much. But I want to go home, so I won't disturb the adults in your house here. After I get home, I will take my parents to thank you at dawn."
As I said that, I walked around this man who was wearing coarse clothes from the beach era and walked quickly toward the door.
Actually I'm not stupid either!
It's impossible that I didn't notice something was wrong, but I didn't dare to think about it in my heart. I just want to get out of here and go home quickly.
But what I didn't expect was that the door that was originally open suddenly closed automatically with a "bang" when I walked there. Scared me.
Looking back, the smile on the face of the young man who claimed to be Zhao's servant had disappeared, and his eyes had become cold. Staring straight at me, there was a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.
"You're already here, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Today is our master's birthday, and there are many people coming to visit. It's very lively. Since you happened to be here too, why don't you leave after attending the banquet."
He spoke word by word, his voice was as cold as ice, and there was an air of indubitability.
I said nothing.
The hands that were shrunk in the sleeves were clenched into fists. At the same time, the body was trembling slightly.
The reason why I didn't speak was because I was afraid that when I opened my mouth, my teeth would chatter up and down and make a sound.
Because it was at this moment that I finally saw clearly that this person was wearing black big-toed toad shoes! It is also commonly known as longevity shoes.
It is only worn when the dead person is lying in the coffin for burial!
I already know.
In fact, I have been "ghostly treat"!
Now, I am in a haunted house!
The pale-skinned and gloomy-looking servant of the Zhao family in front of him could never be alive!
No matter how precocious and wise I am, no matter how courageous I am.
At this time, I was also panicked and at a loss.
You know, no matter whether it was sending water evil spirits into the Hundred Bone Tower or fighting the yellow leather spirit before. The mysterious and powerful Aunt Qin is right next to me.
In fact, she is the one who really does the work.
I'm just starting out.
But at this time, Aunt Qin was not here. For the first time, I faced these evil ghosts alone.
And maybe it’s not just one in front of you, but a whole nest!
This so-called Zhao House is definitely a ghost house.
"Oh my god! I'm really unlucky. I wanted to lighten the burden on my family, so for the first time I went to the town to attend a fair, I encountered such evil things as ghosts treating guests."
I want to cry.
But I kept in mind Aunt Qin's advice - I must not show any timidity, otherwise it will be really over.
So even though I was scared to death, I nodded and tried to say two words without trembling in my voice.
"need."
After hearing what I said, the smile returned to the dead man's face.
"Then guest, please wash your face first, my master's birthday banquet will begin soon."
After saying that, he withdrew.
