Raising Ghosts Records

Chapter 33
The old man jumped into the pool and never showed his head again. Only the echo of the ripples on the dark water surface could tell that someone had jumped in just now.In such a critical moment, it is impossible to calm down and think of a solution. Ordinary people can drown in the water in a few minutes, let alone an old man who is seriously ill and has a ghost on his body.

I took out Tongtong's wooden figure from the bag, and threw it into the water without asking her if it was okay. One minute later, Tongtong appeared on the water, and she was finally able to show up. It has been more than half a month since she was in the cave last time.

Tong Tong said that the old man could not be rescued, he had been sucked into the vortex, his body had rushed into the underground river, and went straight to the bottom of the mountain, and he was dead, she couldn't bring her back with her body, only the living one To be possessed.

I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I knew from those resentful souls that the old man might not survive tonight.After seeing him jump into the pool, I knew that he was likely to die in the water, but when I heard Tongtong tell me, I was chilled from the top of my head to my heels, and I sat down on the ground as soon as I lost my mind.I didn't even want to believe that I was really dead. I just felt terrified and uneasy. How to explain to my grandma and whether I would be arrested and sent to labor reform. A series of questions flooded out and occupied my mind.I just felt that my mind was blank, and then my thoughts were extremely chaotic, and I didn't know what to do.I regret that I shouldn't pretend to be a master. After all, I have never learned the real skills. A three-legged cat is not enough for half a bucket of water. This has killed people and caused trouble.

Look at the barren mountains and wild mountains, grandma is lonely, if I just leave here, I will definitely not find my head.But grandma is a good person, but also a hard-working person. I really can't do it if I leave, but how can I tell grandma about the result?
When I was flustered, I seemed to think of something, and asked Grandpa Tongtong, if Grandpa Tongtong died, what about those ghosts possessed by animals?Tongtong walked back to the shore, blinked her big eyes and stretched out her small hand. On the palm was a green stone the size of a lychee.

"Those annoying ghosts are all inside!" Tongtong said with a proud face, pointing to the green stone in his palm.

I asked her what it was and where did she get it?Tong Tong said that she got into the whirlpool and chased the old man all the way to the bottom of the mountain. Suddenly, those resentful spirits came out from the old man's forehead, and they were sucked in one direction by something.Tongtong chased it and found a stone duck under the water, and all the resentful souls were sucked in by the stone duck's eyes.

Tong Tong was terrified, afraid that she would be sucked in too, and when she was about to escape, the stone duck's eyeballs suddenly fell off to the ground, and Tong Tong went to pick it up.

After Tongtong finished speaking, he tossed the green stone in his hand, saying that it was the eyeball of the stone duck.

When I took it from Tongtong, I felt that the bead was as cold as ice. When I saw it with the flashlight, there was nothing inside the bead, no different from glass beads.

Tongtong went on to say that she picked up the eyeball and put it into the stone duck's eye socket, and an eyeball immediately grew out of the other eye socket, and when she took off the eyeball from the other eye socket, it disappeared.That is to say, although this stone duck has two eyes, it has only one eyeball, but after putting it into the eye socket, an eyeball will appear in the other eye socket, which is amazing.

"Ah! It's a stone duck again. What is the origin of this stone duck?" I couldn't help asking Tongtong in amazement.

The last time I saw a stone duck was in Xiangsizhou, where Tongtong’s remains were buried on the duck’s back. Later, I dreamed that the stone duck was carved by some dwarfs, but that was just a dream.But last time the stone ducks in Xiangsizhou did not have green eyeballs. The eyeballs of the stone ducks at the bottom of the pool can suck ghosts in, so why not suck Tongtong?Could it have something to do with her remains being buried on the back of a duck?Why did the eyeball fall out when it saw Tongtong? Could it be that the duck gave Tongtong its eyeball as a gift?
These questions are really messy. Although I am smart, I don't have the heart to analyze it now. Uncle's body has rushed into the underground river at the bottom of the mountain. It is estimated that it is nearly a kilometer from this pool.You can imagine a well one kilometer deep, the bottom is dark and cold, and the sun has never been seen for millions of years, and you can't help but get goosebumps when you think about it.

Could it be that the body can't be retrieved?This fate is too miserable!It can be said that there is no burial place for death, and people cannot be resurrected after death, but it is also a kind of comfort to bring back the corpse and bury it in peace!

Tongtong said that after picking up the beads, she found the old man's body and buried it in the sand so that it would not be eaten by the fish for the time being, because she could not carry the body upstream back to the pool.

I sighed deeply and wondered if it was just a water burial, but I have never heard of the custom of water burial in Guiping, and there will be no such thing in Guigang!It is still necessary to find a way to find an opportunity to retrieve the corpse, and the most important thing is to put it in the ground.

Sitting by the pool, Tong Tong and I discussed how to go back and explain to my grandma, not knowing what the outcome would be if we told her the bad news.

We discussed for a long time, but there was no good solution. We didn't dare to go back to my grandma's house, and I didn't dare to just leave. I sat by the pool until dawn until the sun came out.

In the morning when Tongtong returned to the wooden man, I took out the stone duck eyeball and looked at the sun, but I didn't see anything special about it.Of course I knew that this bead must be a treasure, but now I was not in the mood to study it carefully, so I threw it back into the bag.

I finally decided to go back and tell my grandma, after all, she couldn't even know the life and death of her own old man, she was already middle-aged and lost her son, which is pitiful enough.

On the way back, I walked very slowly and felt that my steps were heavy. I thought about it several times and gave up running!But I couldn't bear it, and walked for a long time before returning to my grandma's house.The door of the room was closed tightly. I stood at the door several times and wanted to call grandma to open the door, but the voice that reached my mouth was suppressed again.

Finally, I knocked on the door and found that the door was not closed, it was just ajar, and it opened as soon as I pushed it open. As soon as I pushed the door open, Tongtong yelled that the old lady was dead.

I froze at the door, before my raised right foot hit the ground, I heard Tongtong's cry, and saw the grandma lying on the ground in the room, her body straight and stiff, foam from her mouth flowing all over her neck.

There was a buzzing in my head, as if someone had knocked, and then I picked up the sickle at the door and rushed into the house.I looked under the bed, cabinets, jars and other places, but found nothing. I don't know if it was a person, a ghost or some kind of beast that killed Grandma.

I couldn't find anything weird, so I threw away the sickle and immediately went to help Grandma up, trying to see if she was still alive.But I saw that Grandma's eyes and pupils were slack like gray glass balls, her body was stiff and her chest didn't rise and fall, and she died long ago. She probably died last night.

There was no blood on Grandma's body, and nothing in the house was messed up, but her expression was terrified, as if she had seen something terrible before she died. Then how did she die?
Tongtong reminded me that there was a wound on Grandma's forehead between her eyes. When I listened carefully, there was indeed a wound, as small as a needle prick.Tong Tong said that there are wounds on the fingers, too. Every finger has such small wounds from being pricked by needles that you can’t even see it with a magnifying glass if your eyes are bad. What are these wounds?

Tong Tong said that something had sucked away Grandma's soul, and that was the cause of her death. I was shocked and ran into the old man's room, only to see that the jar was still on the ground, but the black baby's body inside was gone.

Could it be that the old man raising ghosts came here, took away the little devil and killed the grandma, he is really cruel and insane!In order to verify this conjecture, I searched carefully inside and outside the house, but no human footprints were left, of course, my uncle's and grandma's were not counted.

If it was the old man raising ghosts who came here, it stands to reason that he also weighs [-] to [-] catties, and the front and back of the house are covered with soil. In February, it is rainy and humid, and the soft soil will definitely leave footprints.I didn't find any strange footprints, so if the one who killed Grandma wasn't the old man raising ghosts, what was it?Could it be the little devil.

I got dizzy again, and asked Tongtong if she knew where the little ghost had gone. Tongtong said she would find out at night, but she said that the little ghost must have run away at night, and it couldn't get out of the house at dawn.

I remember that I tied its feet with a red rope. If there is no help for it, it is impossible to escape. Could it be that grandma went to untie the red rope.Thinking about it, it's impossible. I've already told my grandma that this thing is a little devil, and it's impossible for grandma to unlock it. Then who unlocked it?

However, this little devil couldn't run far with the little corpse dragging him, otherwise he wouldn't have hid in the rock crevice behind the waterfall hundreds of meters away if he escaped the night before.If there is nothing to help it, I guess it must have gone to hide somewhere, and then notified the old man raising ghosts to find it.

I don't know if Grandma was killed by the little ghost, but I must find it, and even if it wasn't the murderer, I will ask Tongtong to ask what the murderer is.

I ran up the mountain and indirectly killed two old people. It is very difficult to retrieve the old man's body. If the murderer who killed my grandmother is not found, I may feel guilty for the rest of my life.In addition, the development of the matter has reached the point where I can't handle it. After I go down the mountain, I will report to the police station. After all, this kind of matter still has to be handled by the state. It is best to catch the old man raising ghosts.

After I wiped the white foam from Grandma's mouth with a towel, I put her body on the bed, covered the quilt and washed the towel to cover her face.I found a few more incense sticks and lit them, knelt down and kowtowed several times, then went out of the house and closed the door, took a hoe and chopping knife from the door, and was going to look for the little ghost nearby.
