Time passed minute by minute...
The three of us in the main room held our breath and said nothing.
You can only hear your own heartbeat and each other's breathing.
And the hands of the wall clock on the wall moved slowly, making a slight clicking sound.
I looked up at the wall clock.
It showed that the time was almost twelve o'clock, and the evil ghost hadn't come yet. I couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
"What's going on? Doesn't that evil ghost not plan to come tonight? Or is it already very intelligent and will temporarily avoid it when it sees its own grave being dug up?"
Many thoughts ran through my mind.
The main reason is that it’s uncomfortable for anyone to have their nerves tense all the time, not to mention that I’m still a junior high school student?
However, the ancients divided a day into twelve hours, and one hour is now two hours.
So midnight is from 11pm to 1am.
It’s only half way!
What's more, it is only the period of "Zi Shi" that is most suitable for various evil activities, and their strength is relatively the strongest. It does not mean that it can only come out at "Zi Shi".
It's not safe until the rooster crows!
well……
I sighed secretly.
"It seems like tonight is going to be a protracted battle."
At this time, Xia Sanjin next to him suddenly whispered something.
"Brother Wu, I want to go to the toilet. Is that okay?"
I couldn't help laughing.
"Xia Party Secretary, this doesn't matter. You can go. It won't destroy the arrangement we just made."
"That's good, that's good..."
Xia Sanjin nodded, ready to stand up and walk to the toilet on the west side of the main room.
As soon as he opened his legs, he turned around again.
"Brother Degui, do you want to pee? Let's go together?"
Xia Degui frowned and said, "I didn't want to do it at first, but now that you say it... I really think about it. Let's go together."
I saw them both looking back at me at the same time, and quickly shook their heads.
"I won't go. I have to keep an eye on the door, otherwise I won't know when that ghost comes in... You two had better go back quickly."
"Okay, little brother Wu, we are all very fast."
With that said, they turned around and went to the toilet on the west side of the main room.
Many years later, in the Internet age, I realized... It is not a good thing for a man to say that he is too fast!
After I was left alone in the main room, it became even quieter.
I stared at the courtyard door, waiting for the evil ghost to enter.
The red rope swayed in the night wind, but there was nothing unusual about it.
I have to say that Xia Sanjin and Xia Degui are indeed very fast...
The second hand of the wall clock on the wall had just gone half a circle when they came back together.
Well, that's thirty seconds.
"Brother Wu, we are back."
"Okay, then continue to sit and wait. We must resolve this matter tonight."
I said firmly.
After all, I can only stay here in the Xia family yard until tomorrow at most!
There are seven days of National Day holiday, so I thought I would spend a few days at home with my parents and Master. Then go back to Lianghe Town in advance and ask Lao Cao and Li Miao about the "Fubei County Chronicle".
Oh, I have to go to the mountains along the way to look for Bai Su and Hui Hui to see her injuries. Then let's chat - you can chat with a monster and learn a lot.
I'm very busy. I can't waste time in the Xia family yard, right?
Thinking of various things in his mind, he subconsciously glanced at Xia Degui from the corner of his eye.
Then, my scalp became numb and my pupils suddenly shrank.
Suddenly, he stood up from the stool and grabbed Xia Degui's left hand.
This sudden movement startled both him and Xia Sanjin.
"Brother Wu, what's wrong with you?"
I raised Xia Degui's hand, staring at the wrist, and my voice was a bit shocked and unbelievable.
Even the tone has changed a bit.
"What's going on with your wrist?! What's this black thing on your wrist? Secretary Xia, use your flashlight to look closer."
Xia Degui was tall and brash. When he was working in the city outside, he often took the lead in fighting with construction teams that were trying to steal business.
But at this moment, I was holding my hand, but I didn’t dare to say a word and didn’t move at all.
Xia Sanjin didn't dare to ask more questions when he saw me like this.
He just quickly turned on the flashlight and came over to shine on Xia Degui's wrist.
Under the light of the flashlight, I stared at the ring-shaped black mark surrounding Xia Degui's wrist. That cold, evil feeling is constantly being released from this circle of black.
I twisted Xia Degui's hand slightly.
You can see that there are five clear black thin marks on the wrist on the side of the palm, which is different from the darkness on the back of the hand.
Obviously, this is the five-finger print!
I just felt a cold air rushing from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
A terrifying picture suddenly appeared in my mind...
Xia Sanjin and Xia Degui went to the toilet and peed. Little did they know that behind or beside them, there was a terrifying thing staring at them with a formidable gaze!
When returning, the ghost took advantage of the situation and grabbed Xia Degui's wrist, and followed them back to the main room from the toilet!
Because after all, the body of the fierce ghost is just that of a little girl, with small hands.
When he held Xia Degui's wrist, he couldn't close it.
That's why there is such a dark five-fingerprint, otherwise it would be a whole ring of black.
Under the light of the flashlight, the small black fingerprints on Xia Degui's wrist were clearly visible.
No need for me to say anything, they both understood immediately!
I said in a deep voice.
"That ghost...has already entered the house! He just walked in from the toilet holding your wrist. Maybe he is next to us now."
"Oh my god!"
Xia Sanjin couldn't hold back any longer, his whole body was trembling uncontrollably, and he leaned hard against me.
Xia Degui was slightly better - I don't know if it was because he was more tough or because this evil ghost was the body of his daughter after all, so the fear was slightly less intense.
At this moment, the lights in the main room suddenly went out.
Not only the incandescent lamp hanging above the head, but also the kerosene lamp prepared and the flashlight in Xia Sanjin's hand were all extinguished!
The entire hall suddenly fell into darkness.
Not only that, the surrounding temperature seemed to have suddenly dropped several degrees, making it chilly.
I sneered in my heart: "Plunging living people into darkness is really a standard trick for evil spirits to appear. It's a pity that I have been prepared for it!"
The Qi in my body was circulating, I exhaled loudly, and let out a loud roar.
"Fuhuo burns evil!"
The left and right hands had already held a piece of talisman paper, and when they were thrown upward, they burst into flames.
Two balls of talisman fire were suspended directly in mid-air.
Suddenly, the darkness was dispelled, and the coldness in the room quickly subsided.
The incandescent lamp above the head also turned on again, the kerosene lamp continued to burn, and the flashlight in Xia Sanjin's hand was still shining...
People's greatest fear comes from the unknown.
Although ordinary people are indeed afraid of ghosts, they can see them clearly if they are in a brightly lit environment. Even if you face ghosts, you will eventually feel a little more courageous.
But if it is in the darkness where you can't see your fingers, you are really like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Powerful evil spirits carry strong Yin Qi, which can blind some of people's five senses, or affect the environment to a limited extent.
For example, the lights don't light up and the fire goes out inexplicably.
In fact, it’s not that the lights really went out, nor that the fire really went out!
If a ghost can really achieve this level, I won't be able to deal with it.
In fact, this is caused by the interference of Yin Qi released from ghosts. On the one hand, people's visual perception is reduced, and on the other hand, it is wrapped near the light, blocking the divergence of light.
I just lit the talisman with Qi and ignited two talisman fires.
Talisman fire contains more yang energy than ordinary flames. Therefore, it can easily dispel the influence of Yin Qi on people.
I said in a deep voice: "The light is not affected now. You two should be careful. I will destroy that evil spirit!"
At this moment, I had no time to think about how the evil ghost got directly past my defense arrangement and entered the house! There was no time to think carefully about whether it was a spiritual ghost or a physical corpse.
There must be very troublesome issues here.
But the most urgent task at hand is to engage in hand-to-hand combat first.
