My cousin immediately pulled me behind him.
"I, I know that woman! She was my elementary school classmate. She drowned in the reservoir eight years ago."
My uncle took the lead and kicked the door open. But there were no ghosts outside, only a red wedding dress and a pair of embroidered shoes neatly placed there.
"What does this mean?" I looked at these things and my eyes widened.
"That thing in the water wants you..."
"What?" I turned pale and staggered. This thing kept pestering me because of this.
I looked at the wedding dress lying on the ground, hatred rising in my eyes. Find alcohol and pour it on it, then take out a fire from the stove to burn the red wedding dress.
"Slow down!" my cousin shouted. My hand hasn't gone down yet.
"What do you keep this thing for?" I asked in confusion.
"It will be useful in the future!" After saying this, he put away the red wedding dress.
I don't have the energy to care about anything else now. I want to deal with my grandmother's death as soon as possible.
With my cousin here, he would take care of everything, which saved me a lot of trouble.
It wasn't until my grandma was pushed into the furnace and her body was burned by the blazing fire that I saw my mother and breathed a sigh of relief. She seemed worried about her grandmother's body.
"I'm going to go back to school after I've dealt with this." I said to my cousin.
"You can't go back yet, this matter hasn't been resolved yet." I frowned again when I heard my cousin's words. It was the most difficult and troublesome matter.
"My child, come and live at home!" My mother invited me and had already extended an olive branch to me.
I just smiled distantly at her.
"I live at my grandma's house, that's my home!"
As soon as I said these words, my mother was speechless. There was still a trace of guilt in his eyes.
"Niece, we really live at your mother's place." My cousin spoke at this time.
"Why?" I asked quickly.
"That thing now knows where you live. Aren't you afraid that he will come to harass you again?" said my uncle.
I looked at my uncle.
"Isn't there still you?"
"There is still a little space within a hundred meters, and the place where your mother lives has good Feng Shui. It is a prosperous house and ghosts are not allowed to enter. It also has the blessing of your Jing family ancestors."
I don't quite believe what my cousin said. If our family was prosperous, my father would not have died early.
"Yes, just listen to your cousin, he won't harm you!"
My mother immediately helped me and I nodded. My mother was very happy and immediately smiled. If she had treated me like this before, there would not be such an insurmountable gap between us.
My mother took my luggage and moved back to that strange home from my grandmother’s ancestral home. I only have a few memories of that strange home from my childhood.
But those memories are bitter and I have no joy here.
I stood in front of this gate and didn't move forward. When my mother and cousin were about to go in, they realized that I was standing behind and didn't move.
"We're home, can An-Ning come in?"
"Home? Only my and grandma's home is home. To me, this place is no different from a cheap hotel. I will pay you the room fee every day!"
I walked over, picked up the trolley box from my mother's hand and walked towards the house.
My mother was a little embarrassed, so her cousin pulled her inside.
As soon as I entered the main room, I saw the black and white photo of my breasts and the incense burner in front of her.
I stood there blankly looking at the people in the black and white photos.
"Aning, can you give your grandma some incense?" my mother said to me.
"No need, she doesn't lack my fragrance either!"
I refused coldly, remembering many things from my childhood. I believe that even if she died, she would not want to see me come back.
My mother stood there like a child who had done something wrong.
"Why haven't I seen Xiaoyong?"
I looked at my mother again.
"Oh, he has been feeling unwell, so I sent him to the old Chinese medicine doctor's home. He lives there now, and it is more convenient to treat him." When my mother said this, her eyes drifted to the wing room outside from time to time. I lived there for a while.
"That must have cost a lot of money!" I said sarcastically. They used to call me a loser, but now it's their precious son's turn.
My mother didn't say anything and took the opportunity to cook for us.
My cousin began to decorate the house inside and out with his yellow charms, incense ash and other things. To ensure nothing goes wrong.
I am alone in the room, and from the window here, I can see the house where I used to live. No one lives in that house now, and the door is locked, but the curtains inside are tightly blocked.
Since no one lives inside, why bother with curtains?
"Girl, it's time to eat!" My mother called me, and I went over.
My cousin had basically finished it, and we all went to the table. He told me that he would prepare it in the next few days, and that on the fifteenth day of this month, that is the day, he would personally clean up the things in the water.
"Uncle Cousin, what is in the water?" I have always had this question.
"This snake demon has become a spirit! He specializes in sucking the blood of women."
"Then I am the next target he is looking for?" I asked hurriedly, and my cousin nodded quickly.
After hearing this, I instantly lost my appetite.
"Don't worry, as long as my uncle is here, no one can harm our baby!"
He smiled at me and scratched my nose lovingly. I nodded heavily.
After I finished eating, my mother asked me to stay in grandma's room that night. There's something I don't like about this arrangement.
"Can I live back in my original house?" I pointed to the wing.
"That, no!" My mother refused, her words a bit hasty. "Ah, there are already piles of clutter from home. It's not easy to clean up now."
She saw my doubts and quickly added.
I looked at the house again, and there seemed to be something hidden there that made my mother so nervous.
"When you come back later, I will tidy up the place for you so that you can live in it comfortably."
"No need, there will be no future!" I refused coldly and left.
I was lying in the main room, and the cold moon had climbed up. The moon was almost full.
"Grandma, I will definitely avenge you!"
Thinking of grandma, my tears started flowing again. Before I could release all my emotions, I heard rustling footsteps outside.
I jumped off the kang out of curiosity. It was already midnight and most people were sleeping. Who would be so late? Could it be another water ghost?
There was a "buzzing" sound in my mind, but my uncle has decorated this place inside and out, what kind of ghost dares to come?
I lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside.
In the moonlight, I saw the figure flash past. He came to the locked door and took out the key to unlock it.
That's not a ghost. Ghosts can't open locks with keys. When I saw that person, I felt a little familiar. Is that my mother?
what is she doing?
I saw that she was holding a chicken in her hand, which was still alive. She opened the door quickly and threw the chicken inside. The door was locked tightly in an instant.
Then I heard the screams of several chickens coming from the house.
My mother lied to me. What was in that room was not a clutter, but a living thing!
Or something that can eat live chickens.
