the last witcher

After the screams, I was the first to jump up, and then the boss followed suit.I immediately turned on the lights in the house and found Li Tong sitting up and wiping tears on the bed.

"What's wrong, girl?" I asked with concern.

"I dreamed about that female ghost last night." Li Tong said while crying.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, we are here." After the boss finished speaking, he glanced at his phone, and it was already past 9 o'clock in the morning, which means that I feel that it will be more than six hours when I close my eyes and open them. At this time, I was surprised to find that the third child was actually covered with the same quilt as Wang Yan.

In an instant, I understood why the third child didn't get up, but I couldn't say anything more, "Boss, go buy some breakfast, I'll accompany Li Tong."

The boss is also a careless guy. After agreeing, he put on his coat and went out to buy breakfast.After leaving the boss, I saw that Xu Yanan was still sleeping soundly. It seemed that Li Tong's screams did not wake her up. Good luck, good luck, I have always envied such kind-hearted women.And the couple of dogs hid in the bed and pretended to be asleep, I couldn't tell the truth, so I said to Li Tong: "Sister, go out and wipe your face."

Li Tong nodded silently, and then walked to the water room with me. When I got to the door, I coughed deliberately, and that sound was to tell the third child, I will take Li Tong out while the eldest is out to buy breakfast, you boy Clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, don't wait a while for the boss to find out that you have slept with someone else's sister, then everyone will look bad.

I can still remember that dilapidated hotel. Not to mention the high price, there is not even a bathroom in the room. It is probably due to the fact that it is under the temple and there are many pilgrims. Anyway, you can’t live there, and your attitude is very bad.There is only one water room on the second floor, next to the bathroom, and only one person can enter at a time. It is also because we were so panicked that we bumped into this small hotel as soon as we left the monastery.

Forget it, it's useless to talk too much, let's settle down when it comes.Seeing Li Tong's panic and helplessness, I had no choice but to comfort her while walking, "Don't be afraid, sister, why don't you tell me another story about me falling into evil in the third year of junior high school."

Li Tong looked at me in horror, which meant that I was already scared enough, why are you still telling me ghost stories.

"Don't be afraid, ghosts are often much kinder than humans, listen to the story I'll tell you next." I explained to Li Tong.Li Tong nodded helplessly, and then I began to tell my story.

When I was in the third year of junior high school, I always liked to go to my aunt’s house when I had nothing to do, because I could learn a lot of principles of life from certain stories my aunt told me, and some things my parents could not teach Mine, but one time I ran into an evil on the way home from my aunt's house.

I remember that it was Sunday afternoon, and I received a call from my aunt, saying that I had made my favorite dish at night and asked me to go over for dinner.After saying hello to my parents, I rode my bicycle and went to my aunt’s house. At that time, my house should be in the Jinxiang family building, and my aunt’s house was near the Dianye Building (now called Bilong Hotel) on Minzhu Road. When I arrived at my aunt's house, I helped my aunt, and at the same time listened to my aunt talking about some principles of life and doing things in society.

At dinner in the evening, Viagra (my aunt’s son, many years older than me) brought me four green oranges from his unit. You must know that in autumn in the north at that time, being able to eat oranges was quite a feat. When it was time to eat, I cooked eight dishes in total, including sliced ​​meat sausage, cold cucumber and dried tofu, yuba peanuts, four cold dishes of fruit soup and four hot dishes of braised carp, mapo tofu, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and stir-fried pork with celery Vegetables, plus a large pot of seaweed egg drop soup.I have a bad habit of eating. I only eat one or two favorite dishes for each meal, and basically don’t use chopsticks for the rest.I only ate shredded pork with Beijing sauce and fruit soup that day. I picked up other dishes that my aunt, Viagra and sister-in-law gave me, and I didn’t touch those others until I was full. Dishes brought over.

After dinner, my aunt cleaned up the dishes while muttering that our children are too wasteful, while I ate and drank enough to chat with Viagra and my sister-in-law. At about eight o’clock in the evening, I got up to go home. I packed the untouched dishes and took them home, but I kept pushing them away. In the end, my aunt couldn’t resist me, so she let me go. Viagra deduced from the faint smell of tobacco on my body that I started smoking, so he gave it to me secretly. Stuffed two boxes of Yuxi, and told me to focus on my studies and not to smoke when I stayed up late. I gladly accepted this gift.

Just when I was about to leave, my sister-in-law secretly gave me several large boxes of green tea in bags and asked me to take them home. I happily took four green oranges, the cigarettes from Viagra and the green tea from my sister-in-law and started heading home. Riding (I treat my juniors now, and I have been applying the routine of Viagra and sister-in-law, trying everything).Because I left late, I was afraid that my parents would worry, so I chose to take a shortcut.

It was a field, and there were a few families scattered around it. It may be a custom. These families buried their dead at the periphery of the field, near the dirt road I went back to. I passed by during the day. I didn't feel much at the time, but it was already dark at that time, and the owl's cry could be heard from the trees from time to time. The sound lingered in the open field, and I couldn't help but start to feel hairy. Since it was a small road and there were no street lights, I could only I vaguely saw the dirt road not far ahead, and with the bumps of the bicycle, my heart couldn't help but tremble.In order to strengthen my courage, I stopped, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, calmed down my uneasiness, and then continued to ride home.People are very strange. The more you are afraid, the more you think about things that scare you. The ghost stories I have seen before, some horror movies and so on, all appear in my mind like a slide show. Emboldened, I chose a song by Xueyou, howled and accelerated towards home.

I kept reassuring myself not to be afraid, but it didn’t seem to have much effect. When I was riding to the graveyard, suddenly a person came out from behind a certain graveyard and motioned for me to stop.Hey, let me go. At that time, I was holding the brakes tightly with both hands, and I was about to be thrown to the front by the bicycle. I stopped, stared blankly at the person in front of me, and was so nervous that I couldn't say a word. "Is there any smoke?" The other party suddenly said this, I calmed down my emotions, took out the freshly opened Yuxi from my trousers pocket, took out one and handed it over, "Please help me order it." The other party made an inch of it I said, I took out a match (for fear that the lighter would be discovered by my father, I always used matches), lit it for the other party, and saw that the other party did not put it in his mouth, but stuck it on the ground. A gust of autumn wind blew by, and the cigarette began to ignite spontaneously. Seeing the other party take a big puff of smoke from his mouth, I thought the magic trick had become really good, but no matter how good it became, it was his fault to come out in the middle of the night to scare people.

Only then did I take a closer look at the man in front of me. He was not tall and had a hunched back. His age was hard to say, at least over 60 years old. He was wearing a big vest full of holes and overalls. If the piece of cloth is also considered as pants, then the basic dress is like this.The other party saw that I didn't intend to leave right away, so he teased me, "Young man, you are in a good time. You have enough food, warm clothes, and you can still go to school. You have such good cigarettes at a young age. You should cherish it. .” Although I don’t know why he said this to me, I still nodded in agreement.After seeing me nodding, the old man continued: "Do you know what 1960 eats?" I shook my head, "I eat anything, I don't want to throw away the boogers I pick out, the water plants in the river, the bark, even The grass roots, mixed with corn and sorghum, are crushed with a grinder, distributed to individual households, and then boiled into a paste to drink. Farmers like me who have land can add sweet potato slices to the paste, and the city will be miserable." The old man exhaled the smoke again, and then continued to speak slowly: "Each person has less than three taels of food per day. In the later stage, catching a mouse is considered delicious. At that time, his body was swollen, and he tried every means to buy black beans to cure the swelling. Basically, everyone in every household has to use chopsticks to go to the latrine, because they can’t digest shit, so they can only poop through with chopsticks, and many children in the same village were suffocated to death.” Regarding those years The adults in the family never talked about the matter. I also briefly read it through some books, but I didn’t expect it to be so serious. It was not until the later period when the Internet was developed that I restored the matter at that time through the Internet (it seems Worse than what the old man said). "At that time, a radish boiled water and the whole family had to eat for two days. I watched the neighbor next door walking, fell down, and couldn't get up again. Boy, it's fate that we met, remember Be diligent and thrifty, don’t waste like today, you will have a great future in this life, thank you for giving me a cigarette for the old man, and listen to me talking about these old things.” After speaking, the old man blew out his last puff of cigarette into a smoke ring , I walked to the back of the graveyard, and when I recovered from my nerves, the old man had disappeared.

After I got home, I was really not afraid, I just felt strange, but after this incident, I seldom picky eaters, I basically eat whatever I do at home, the big deal is to eat two more bites of what I like, and two less bites of what I don’t like. Yes, I also learned to burn some incense and paper candles with my father to the deceased elders at home during the New Year’s festival. Maybe all the deceased old people hope that we live happily, and I sincerely hope that readers can read the Pay homage to the deceased elders on a specific day, and they also need us to remember them.

After the story was told, Li Tong asked softly, "Aren't all ghosts harmful?"

I smiled, "Actually, ghosts don't harm people, and they don't take the initiative to attack people. People usually provoke ghosts first, and then ghosts attack people. If I guessed right, last night, we might have inadvertently entered the The territory of the female ghost caused people to come out to scare us, but from the beginning to the end, do you think that female ghost intends to harm us?"

After I finished speaking, Li Tong thought about it for a long time, and it was indeed the case, so he was relieved.

"What's the matter, youngest, are you here to tell everyone, or go back to the medical school?" The voice of the third child came from behind.
