Chapter 37: The Shadow in the Kitchen Room

Just two days after Bai Qiang's incident, a strange thing happened in our house.

It happened at night, that late at night, everyone in my family was already asleep.I actually fell asleep too, but I was woken up by urinating.After waking up, I got up and prepared to go to the toilet to pee.

The toilet in my house is behind the stove, and you have to go through the stove to go to the toilet.There was no electricity in the village at that time, so my house had no electric lights, and I didn't want to wake up my mother and ask her to light the kerosene lamp for me.

Therefore, I can only walk towards the stove by feeling the faint light and my familiarity with the home.When I was about to walk to the door of the kitchen, I heard some faint noises in the kitchen.And I can be sure that the noise is not made by mice, it seems to be made by people.

However, because the kitchen was too dark, I couldn't see the man.Of course, I was a child after all, so I was still terrified.I thought it was a thief at home, so I went to my mother's room and woke her up.

"Mom, there is someone in the kitchen, it should be a thief." Seeing that my mother woke up, I whispered to her.

After my mother heard this, she immediately woke up my father. "Old Lu, there is a thief in the kitchen, get up and have a look." In order not to startle the thief, my mother said this very quietly.

After my dad woke up, he first went to the main room, where he took a foreign shovel, and then went to the kitchen with the foreign shovel.

As soon as my dad entered the kitchen, he saw a dark figure by the cupboard.

"Stop!" my dad yelled, and then chased after the shadow with a foreign shovel in hand.When I was one meter away from the black shadow, my dad shoveled it down with a shovel.

"Crack!" With a muffled sound, the shovel in my dad's hand shoveled into the cupboard.At this time, my mother also lit the kerosene lamp.Strangely, after the kerosene lamps were lit and the kitchen was lit.Neither I nor my parents could see the black shadow just now.

I can say responsibly that just now, at the moment I shoveled the foreign shovel down, the black shadow was definitely in the cupboard.

Just when my parents and I were surprised, something even more surprising happened. The back door of my kitchen was wide open.

There are two doors in my kitchen, one is the main entrance, which is connected to the main room, and the other is the back door, which leads to the outside, which is the back gutter of my house.

Before going to bed, I saw my mother close the back door of the kitchen with my own eyes.Now, the back door of the kitchen room is actually open, what is going on?

My dad took the kerosene lamp in my mom's hand and walked towards the back door of the kitchen.

"There are footprints on the threshold." My dad said, pointing to the threshold.

As soon as my dad finished speaking, my mother and I walked over.On the threshold, there are half mud footprints.Although the footprint is only half, it can still be seen that the footprint was left by a man.In other words, someone did enter the room just now.

Now it's pitch black outside the house, even if my dad chases him out, he won't be able to catch up with that person, so he didn't go after him.However, what we can't figure out is that when I saw a dark shadow on the cupboard just now, my dad shoveled it down with a shovel, why there was nothing there?

It is possible to say that this person is blind.But my parents and I are three people, and the probability of the three seeing blindfolded together is very low and impossible.Therefore, the black shadow on the cupboard just now definitely exists.

"Go and see if you lost anything?" My dad said to my mom.

My mother nodded, and then began to count the things in the kitchen.My mother opened the cupboard first, and as soon as I opened it, I saw pumpkin soup spilled and some dropped rice in the cupboard.

"Could it be that the man came here to steal something to eat? There are a lot less pumpkin and rice in the bowl." My mother picked up the bowl of pumpkin soup and said.

Pumpkin soup and rice, I saw my mother put it in the cupboard with my own eyes.When I put it on, I clearly remembered that there was more than half a bowl of pumpkin soup, and there were a lot of pumpkins in it, and a bowl full of rice.Now there is only a small bowl of pumpkin soup, and there is only a little bit of rice at the bottom of the bowl.Obviously, the pumpkin and rice were eaten by someone.

After checking the cupboard, my mother checked the other places next to each other, and found that, except for the pumpkin soup and rice in the cupboard, nothing else was missing from my house.

"Fortunately, Xiaofei found out, otherwise it would not just be a bowl of rice and a little pumpkin soup stolen, how many things would be lost at home?" My dad said with some gratitude.

"This thief is really weird. Before stealing things, he still doesn't forget to have a meal at someone's house." My mother said.

"I guess he's hungry! Close the door and go to bed, it's okay." My dad said.

Lying down on the bed again, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, my mind was full of that dark shadow just now.If that black shadow was a thief or a person, he would definitely not be able to escape with just the shovel my dad just used.But the shadow escaped, and left a man's footprint on the threshold.There is also the back door of the kitchen, which is supposed to be closed, how could it be wide open?

If the back door was opened by that shadow, there should be a sound!You know, the back door of the stove room is a wooden door, even if it is only opened a small crack, it will make a creaking sound.However, after my parents and I entered the kitchen, we didn't hear the creaking sound of the door opening.In other words, the door of the kitchen should have been open before we went to the kitchen.

I can't confirm this inference, because when we walked into the stove house, my parents and I focused our eyes on the black figure next to the cabinet, and didn't pay attention to whether the kitchen door was open.

However, I vaguely felt that the black figure just now did not look like a person.Because, no matter how fast a person moves, it is impossible to be as fast as that black shadow.

As for whether that black shadow is a person, I dare not jump to conclusions. I think only my master Zhushan old man can know the truth.So, the next day, I told my mother what I thought.My mother also felt that there was something wrong with the black shadow last night, so she agreed with me.I took a special day and took me to Zhushan Temple.

"Grandma Zhang!" As soon as I walked to Zhushan Temple, I saw Granny Zhang.

"Hey! Xiaofei, you're finally here!" Grandma Zhang immediately burst into laughter when she saw me as a pistachio.

"Where's my master?" I asked.

"It's inside!" said Granny Zhang.

As soon as Granny Zhang finished speaking, the voice of my master Zhushan came out.

"Xiao Fei is here! Come in quickly."

As soon as Zhushan's old man's voice fell, I dragged my mother and walked in.

"Why did you remember to look for Master?" the old Taoist Zhushan asked me.

"A dark shadow appeared in my house last night, and my mother and I felt strange..." I told my master what happened last night from beginning to end.

As soon as I finished speaking, my master Zhushan's face immediately became serious. "You came to see me to exorcise ghosts?" Zhushan old Taoist asked.

"Hmm!" I nodded.

"Ask me to exorcise ghosts, the price is not cheap!" Zhushan old man said solemnly, assuming a posture of brothers to settle accounts.

Seeing Zhushan old man's posture, my mother felt a little bit upset.You know, my family is not a wealthy family, and I don't have much money left.Moreover, I only saw a black shadow last night, and nothing else happened at home.Therefore, just for such a black shadow, my mother is somewhat reluctant to pay a big price to ask the old master Zhushan to come out of the mountain.

"No matter how expensive it is, I can afford it." I also pretended to be serious, and said to the old Taoist Zhushan.

"You little brat, do you have money?" Zhushan old Taoist asked.

"I'll give you old age, Master, the price is enough!" I stuck out my tongue, made a grimace, and said to the old Taoist Zhushan.

"You little guy, Master is teasing you!" The old Taoist Zhushan patted me on the head lightly, and said, "How can a master charge money for helping apprentices exorcise ghosts! If you don't even have money from your own disciples Accept, where can I put this face of Zhushan old Taoist! However, since you are my disciple, then I have to teach you skills. From today, from Monday to Friday, you go to school to learn cultural knowledge. On weekends, you Just get my Zhushan view, and learn the skills that the master gave you."
