Raising Ghosts Records

Chapter 30 The Thatched House on the Hill
Who would come to this wilderness at such a late hour, besides, there are rice fields and burial mounds at the foot of the mountain, and the nearest village is one mile away, the biggest possibility is that the old man raising ghosts has come.The old man raising ghosts must have a way to know the situation of the ghosts he raises. Although I want to trade this little ghost with him, it's not now.If I hold the little ghost boy here to negotiate terms with him, not to mention being snatched back by him, even Tongtong will be snatched back, and I think I will die a miserable death.

I immediately fled to the mountain without turning on the flashlight. At the beginning of the month, when the moon was crooked, I could barely run with my eyesight.I ran up the mountain for two to 300 meters in one breath, panting and looked back down, only to see that the car had already stopped by the rice field, the lights were not turned off, and two people with flashlights were walking among the graves. The graveyard is only a hundred meters away from the ancient camphor tree.

I found a big rock to block my body and only exposed half of my head to look down. Although it was difficult for a flashlight to shine at such a distance, I didn't dare to expose my body for safety reasons.Just as I guessed in my heart, those two people really walked under the ancient camphor tree. I could still hear their conversation, but the distance was too far to hear what they were saying.

I put my hands behind my ears to hear clearly, when a flashlight shined on the mountain, and it happened to be where I was hiding.I shrunk my head down, feeling uneasy. Could it be possible to find someone on the mountain from such a distance?The little ghost boy is in my bag. Without the red cloth, it is estimated that the ghost raiser can sense it. There may be some kind of mysterious connection between them.

All of a sudden, the two flashlights were turned off, and it was pitch black down the mountain. I was not stupid. I guessed that I might be catching up, and if I didn’t leave, I would die.The urine I pulled out was still cold, so I climbed up again. In the short place, there was barely a way to walk because there were people farming and cutting firewood. When I climbed to the middle of the mountain, it was full of various plants, not to mention that there was no light at night. It is difficult to get away even with a machete during the day.But this is not only for my own escape, but also for the sake of Goddess Zhang and Tong Tong, who cares so much.When I see a place where the trees are not so dense, I will drill in, and I don't care whether there are vicious insects or snakes in it, as long as there is no deep pit.

After climbing like this for about half an hour, I was so tired that my legs were shaking and my clothes were soaked in sweat.I leaned against a tree and covered my ears with my hands to listen, but I didn’t hear the sound from below. I guess they didn’t catch up, or they couldn’t catch up with me too far away.

After taking a break, I didn't dare to stay for too long, and continued to climb for more than half an hour, and stopped after turning over a mountain, still daring not to turn on the flashlight.Surrounded by nimbus trees, and I hid under the tree, the surroundings were pitch black, and I could barely see things one meter away from under the tree.

Tongtong told me not to stay, the baby's corpse was only scared by my bronze knife, but it was so powerful that it could summon all the mountain spirits and ghosts from this mountain, so it would be troublesome.

Reluctantly, I got out of the Nimiko bush again, and dragged my two tired legs around. For safety reasons, I put the bronze knife in a wooden box.But as soon as it was put in, the knife turned red like a red-hot Luotie, emitting a faint red light, and the black baby's corpse could barely be seen shaking.

I can only take out the knife, otherwise I don't know what will happen, this is an important bargaining chip, and it would be bad if it was broken.And after such a scare, it is estimated that this little ghost boy will be honest. Although for a human, such a small IQ is probably similar to that of a mouse, but for a raised ghost, he can already understand the stakes.

I walked on the mountain for a while, and when I heard the sound of water, I walked over and found that it was a stream left on the mountain. This should be the same stream that Tongtong let the leech suck the snake venom for me just now at the foot of the mountain!

I don’t want to run any more because I’m tired and I’ve run far enough. I plan to wait by the creek until dawn before going down the mountain.I have to take this little ghost back, find a suitable day, find a suitable place to negotiate with the old man.Of course, the little brother Qinshou had to be called to the side to secretly collect evidence and protect him. He is a policeman and has been a soldier, so it will be somewhat helpful.

As soon as I sat down, Tongtong told me that there was a room in front, not very far from here, and asked me to go and have a look.So I walked across the creek for 1 minute, and I saw a thatched hut. This thatched hut is not big, it only looks like two rooms. Is there anyone living on this mountain?

Tongtong said that there were two old people living there. I went to knock on the door, and an old woman's voice came from the room, asking who knocked.Her voice could be heard to be terrified, living in the mountains and knocking on the door late at night, anyone would be afraid.I immediately said that I lost my way when I went up the mountain to cut firewood. The kerosene lamp was turned on after I heard my voice inside and knew it was someone knocking on the door. Then a 60-year-old grandma opened the door.After the grandma opened the door, she saw that I was just a teenager, and her frightened face returned to normal. She underestimated a sentence, then looked me up and down for a while and asked me which village is down the mountain, and she came to the mountain at night.

I just said that I got lost when I went up the mountain to cut firewood during the day, and I couldn’t go on when it was dark. I came here after walking for a few hours. When I saw a house, I knocked on the door. I hope my grandma can let me enter the house and stay overnight until dawn before going down the mountain. .Grandma saw that I was in a mess, I was not very old, and it was dangerous in the mountains at night, so she let me into the house.

As soon as I entered the room, I felt a lot of hostility, feeling depressed inside, feeling inexplicably irritated and panicked.The furs of various animals are hung on the walls of the house, including those of weasels, foxes, deer, snakes, tortoise shells and some unknown animals, covering two walls, at least two or three hundred Bar!

There were painful groans in the room. It sounded like an old man who was seriously ill. Grandma said it was her old man who had been ill for several months and couldn't get out of bed.I was about to ask why I didn't go down the mountain to see a doctor, but before I could say anything, my grandma said to boil water for me to take a bath, saying that I was dirty and wet and prone to illness.

After I expressed my thanks, my grandma lit a fire and asked me which village I was from at the bottom of the mountain. I told her that I was from Guiping.It turned out that my grandma was also from Guiping, from Shebu, and married to Daxu, Guigang. Later, she went to the mountains to hunt and dig medicine to sell. Because of the convenience, she built a house and lived there for a long time.

Grandma sighed and went on to say that since the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, she has not hunted or dug medicine.The old man in the family has not recovered from his illness, so there is no time to sell the fur and herbs on the wall to Guigang. He wanted to wait until the old man recovered from his illness, but in the end he became more and more ill.

During the conversation, the water was hot, and my grandmother asked me to take a bath first. I took a wooden bucket and filled it with hot water, but I couldn't find a bathing room.Grandma laughed at my children, what kind of bathing room is needed, there is no one on the mountain, they all wash directly in front of the house, if I am shy, I can go to the stream over there to wash.

The creek was less than 100 meters away. I thought I could wash clothes by the way, so I carried water in one hand, a kerosene lamp in the other, and walked to the creek with a bag on my shoulder.Put the kerosene lamp on a stone mountain, scoop some cold water from the stream into the bucket, the water temperature is just right for washing, it is really comfortable!

A bucket of water was washed in one go. When I was about to wash clothes, there was no wind, but the lamp suddenly went out, and at the same time something on the stone jumped into the stream.This is really strange, how could the lamp go out if there is a lampshade? It's not that there is no oil. Could it be that something is causing trouble around here.In the past, I often heard that there are various mountain spirits and ghosts disturbing people late at night in the mountains, throwing stones, calling people's names, or blowing out lights.I have met someone throwing stones before, but this is the first time I have encountered this ghost blowing lamp. I don't know if it is a ghost blowing lamp.Although according to my horoscope, it is more likely to recruit such things, but I am no longer an ordinary person, and I am no longer afraid of these ghosts.Plus I have things for self-defense, why do they still come to provoke me, and what is that thing that jumped into the creek?
I quickly went to get the bag on the stone, reached into the bag and touched the flashlight, but it didn't turn on. It turned out that the battery had fallen out, so I quickly asked Tongtong what happened just now.

Tong Tong told me that it was the little ghost who jumped into the stream, I was anxious when I heard it, this is very important thing!The news of Goddess Zhang and the parents who found Tongtong are all counting on this little ghost, if it escapes, it will be more important than the last gold digging.Tongtong said that she would definitely not run away if she saw her in normal times, but now she can only hide in the wooden man.Tongtong asked me to put the little wooden figure into the water, she might be able to catch up with this little devil.

I did as Tongtong said, and put the little wooden figure into the water. After a while, Tongtong said that the little ghost was so smart that he didn't hide or run downstream, let alone go ashore, but fled upstream. Hiding in a crevice above a waterfall on a low cliff.

Tongtong said that she was confused by a hawk-billed turtle that bit the little ghost's foot and couldn't escape.I just breathed a sigh of relief, this thing really can't be lost.

I washed my clothes randomly and put them on. I shivered from the cold, and went back to my grandma’s room. Tongtong said that the old man in the room probably wouldn’t live for half a month. There was a lot of resentment in his room, and many people were dying. All the animals he hunted.

I also felt it when I entered the room, and now Tongtong told me that it was even more confirmed.But knowing that this is the cause of the old man's own planting, I can't interfere, but encountering it is also a kind of fate, so I decided to help him and drive away these life-threatening ghosts. As for whether his body can survive, it all depends. himself.

I asked my grandma to see the old man. Grandma hesitated and nodded, and led me into the room with a kerosene lamp.When I entered the room, I only smelled a bad smell, which was like entering a chicken farm.With the brightness of the dim kerosene lamp, I saw an old man lying on the bed with a face like dead bark. He was estimated to be in his 60s, but he looked like he was in his 90s.
