Forbidden Love: Whether the Warlord and the Ghost Husband Date

Chapter 4
"do not want!"

I got up suddenly and woke up, feeling like I was covered in cold sweat!

I opened my eyes and looked at the familiar ceiling, the one I used to look up to when I was a child.It's just that it seems a little different from when I was a child. I watched silently, and suddenly there was a shadow of a man on the ceiling!

I was startled, blinked my eyes, and the shadow disappeared strangely.I don't know if I was too nervous just now or what caused this hallucination.

I got up in my pajamas, put on my slippers and opened the curtains. It was just getting bright outside, and even the chicken next door was still lying quietly in the chicken coop.

The cold sweat all over my body was stirred by the cold wind, and my whole body became much more awake.I can't remember exactly what dream I had just now, I just feel a sudden pain in my temple.

I stretched out my hand to press my temple, lowered my head to massage for a while, when I raised my head, I suddenly saw a figure standing silently opposite me!
My heartbeat almost stopped suddenly, and then the man raised his head, and I realized that the one standing in front of me was my own grandpa.

Grandpa wore an all-black old-fashioned robe, and looked up at me with strange eyes.I can't say it well. After I went home this time, I always felt that Grandpa looked at me strangely. I couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, why are you standing here? You scared me to death!"

Before I went to bed at night, I had already locked the door, and I didn’t hear any sound of opening the door with a key just now, so I felt panic when I saw a person suddenly in front of me.

Grandpa didn't think there was anything wrong. He didn't explain, but just said: "Are you awake? Since you are awake, come with me. I have something to tell you."

I put on a coat and went outside. I noticed that Grandpa was wearing a pair of all-black cloth shoes. Although this style of cloth shoes is common, there are actually very few completely black shoes, and they are usually not so completely black.

I silently stared at this pair of cloth shoes. This pair of cloth shoes was brand new, with no dust on them. I glanced at them silently, and then I heard Grandpa say, "I called you back because something happened. Ake, you are here this year Did you graduate from college?"

I nodded, Grandpa lowered his head silently, he crossed the threshold and walked into the main room and sat down.

The room was still pitch black and there was no light at all. I turned on the wall lamp on the wall, and then I heard Grandpa asking myself from behind: "Do you know why Shuangchen County is called Shuangchen County?"

I shook my head silently, and then I heard Grandpa whispering: "Shuangchen County was just an ordinary village back then, it was called Chenjiacun, and it was changed to Shuangchen County later, there is a reason..."

I turned around and found that Grandpa had an extra string of beads in his hand at some point. He turned the beads gently, and then I heard him say: "Clean up later, we will go into the mountain today."

I was stunned for a moment, "Going into the mountain? What kind of mountain?"

"Hanzigou."

When Grandpa said these three words, the light flickered suddenly. I looked at Grandpa in a daze, and almost suspected that I had heard it wrong: "Hanzigou?"

People in Shuangchen County rarely mention this place name, because behind this place name is a large stretch of continuous wild mountains.Shuangchen County is located in a mountainous area, and beyond Hanzigou, there is a large desolate wild mountain with high mountains and dense forests.

Shuangchen County is a state-level poverty-stricken county, and it has something to do with this wild mountain, because ordinary mountain forests can still grow some cash crops, but Hanzigou can't grow anything.No matter how easy it is to feed the plants, as long as they are moved to Hanzigou, they will all die.

In fact, people in the village have always had rumors that Hanzigou used to be a mass grave, especially during the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, when warlords fought melee, many people were buried here.

Hanzigou is very cloudy, except for its own weeds, plants in other places can't stand the yin of Hanzigou.Every year, the elderly would warn their children not to go to Hanzigou if they have nothing to do.But there are also those playful children who accidentally break in.

I remember very clearly that year when I was only seven or eight years old, I saw a lot of people in the village rushing towards Hanzigou in the evening, carrying torches and hunting knives, tossing all night .I heard the adults chatting, and I vaguely knew that a half-grown child in the village ran to Hanzigou that night!

All the villagers, as long as they could go up the mountain, went to look for it with torches. After searching for a whole night, they found the child standing at the head of the village in a daze the next morning.Then the child suddenly became stupid. He was obviously smart at first, but the whole person seemed to have lost his soul.

Grandpa was not as old as he is now at that time, and the child's parents were so anxious that they came to my house to ask Grandpa for help.At that time, I hid behind the curtain and watched Grandpa sitting on the stool that he was sitting on now.He sighed, and then said: "He should have lost his soul. After walking all night, he may not be able to find him back."

The child's parents knelt down and kowtowed violently, and her mother's forehead was covered with blood. I couldn't bear to see it, so I couldn't help but go out and grab Grandpa's trousers. "Grandpa, please help me..."

Grandpa's expression changed when he saw me rushing out, and then he sighed and said, "Take me to have a look."

At that time, I originally wanted to go and see it with Grandpa, but Grandpa forbade me to follow.But the next day, news came that the child's soul had been recovered, and when asked what happened to him, he just killed him and refused to tell, his eyes were rather terrified.Everyone can't ask, so let's forget about it.It's just that Hanzigou has become a taboo, and few people in the village are willing to mention it.

I turned my head a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "To Hanzigou?"

Grandpa looked at me straight, then nodded solemnly.

"Well, go to Hanzigou."

I took a deep breath and couldn't figure out why my grandpa wanted to go to Hanzigou suddenly after being in such a good mood.I thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Is it okay to go to Hanzigou? What should I prepare?"

"I'm ready."

Grandpa lowered his head and twirled the beads, then pointed them out to me.There was a package in the corner, and I only found out after being pointed at by Grandpa.Looking down, I found that the package was quite large, but it was tightly covered by the black cloth, and at first glance I couldn't tell what was inside.

Grandpa thought for a while, then took out a small piece of red thread from his pocket, and told me: "You tie this on your wrist."

I was slightly taken aback.The red thread looked very old, the color was no longer bright red, but a kind of dark red, very much like... very much like dried blood.

I took this small piece of red string and tied it to my wrist.The strange thing is that after the red string was close to my skin, the original dark red color seemed to be a little brighter after touching the heat of my body.Because the change is very shallow, I don't know if it is my illusion.

I held my red rope in a daze, and then grandpa said to me: "Go out on time in three or 10 minutes."

I hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is it just the two of us?"

Grandpa coughed, his voice was very low, and then he said: "No, we will wait for someone at the entrance of the village later."

Three or ten minutes later, when I was dressed and ready to go out, Grandpa walked in front, and his footsteps could not be seen as an old man in his eighties.

We walked all the way through the village to the gate.

There is a big banyan tree at the gate of the village. I don’t know how old this banyan tree is, but I only know that this banyan tree was struck by lightning once when I was young.At that time, the whole tree was scorched by lightning, but not long after, the tree suddenly started to sprout again. After all these years, it became lush and lush again, and the branches and leaves became more and more luxuriant.

I walked under the tree and found a middle-aged man standing there.

He was wearing a black Chinese tunic suit, also the old style, and the clothes were also neat, as if they had been ironed.He is thin and thin, and although the Chinese tunic suit is straight, he can't hold it up, and it feels funny to wear it.He has a special public face, even though I am face to face with him, I can't remember what he looks like at all.Grandpa stepped forward and greeted him simply.

"Are you all ready?"

"Well. It's all in place, and it's safe to keep."

The man replied to him, Grandpa nodded, and then shouted: "Ke Ke, come here."

I walked up to Grandpa with my head down, and Grandpa said to me silently: "When you go up the mountain later, you will follow behind us, don't say anything, don't care about anything, what Grandpa wants you to do, you don't care do what."

I nodded obediently, Grandpa seemed to be relieved, and then said in a low voice: "This matter is very important, and I will explain it to you when we go up the mountain."

I followed Grandpa and this strange middle-aged man and walked straight ahead. After leaving the entrance of the village and turning around the small road, the surrounding scenery gradually became deserted.Originally, there were still a few scattered early-rising peasant women fiddling with the crops, but when you went deeper, it became silent all the way, and the surrounding mountain roads suddenly became steeper.

I haven't walked such a long mountain road for a long time, but fortunately, my physical fitness is not bad, and I can always keep up.Although Grandpa is old, walking this mountain road is like a young man in his prime, and he doesn't show tiredness at all.As for the thin and small man in the black tunic suit, he didn't say a word along the way, and he seemed extraordinarily silent.

I didn't know him either, and I didn't know what to say. We fell into a strange dead silence along the way, and we could only breathe more and more gradually as time went by.After walking for more than an hour, we have reached the depths of this wild land.

My heart tightened, I knew, if I go further, I will reach Hanzigou!
Grandpa suddenly stopped in his tracks. I stood there and suddenly heard Grandpa seeming to be talking to himself: "It's almost there."
