Chapter 98: Ghost Temple
"Hey! Dutou Rui, why don't you leave? Are you scared? Well, if you don't want to go, just kneel on the ground, kowtow to us three times, and call me grandpa..."
I clenched my fists, stopped looking at the locust tree, and continued walking towards the temple.
The sun has gone down, the sunlight is submerged in the darkness, and the moon disappears behind the clouds. The countryside is so dark at night that you can't even see your fingers.
All my mind was on the ghost temple, and I didn't notice that the sky was so abnormal at this time. It went from bright day to dark night with almost no transition.
The dilapidated temple stood in the darkness, silent and silent.
The children behind him were not very old either, and some of them were starting to get scared.
"I, I'm going home for dinner..."
"Me too, if I go back late, my mother will scold me..."
"Then I'll go back first."
"Wait for me……"
They were like headless flies, disappearing in a swarm.
Only Datou and I were left.
Datou walked up to me, his eyes flashed with an unknown light, and he said in a rough voice: "Go in! You said you wanted to go in and have a sleep, and you won't dare to do it when the trouble comes! I was right.
, you are a coward and a coward!"
"I'm not!" I shouted and ran quickly towards the ghost temple.
After entering the temple, I immediately saw the headless sculpture in the middle. Its body was covered with spider webs and dust. There was a copper basin in front of it, and something was burning inside. There was also a melon in front of the copper basin.
Fruits, vegetables and a few steamed buns.
Someone just paid homage here.
As the flames flickered, I breathed a sigh of relief. Where there is flame, there is light. At least it's not dark here.
Suddenly, I felt a chill running down my spine, as if someone was watching me from behind!
I turned around stiffly and saw a person standing at the door through the firelight.
He was of small stature and had a runny nose, and his nose was stained with solidified nasal mucus.
He tilted his head and gave me a strange smile, his eyes full of schadenfreude.
It’s the big head!
I suddenly realized something was wrong and turned around to run outside. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Da Tou clasped his hands together and slammed the temple door shut.
There was a loud "bang" sound, which made dust wash away and make my eardrums buzz.
Datou's voice came from outside the door: "Hahaha, Dudou Rui, just stay inside obediently. I heard that the ghost temple is full of ghosts. When you are eaten by ghosts, I will become Gong Yiyu.
Good friends, hehehehaha..."
Only then did I understand that Da Tou didn't want to be friends with me at all, and he didn't want to accept me at all. He was just jealous of my good relationship with Gong Yiyu. He deliberately let me enter the ghost temple just to make me die.
Then he became friends with Gong Yiyu.
Children's thoughts are innocent yet cruel, ferocious and vicious.
Just because of hatred and jealousy, people will be killed.
I pushed the door outward with all my strength, but it couldn't be pushed.
Da Tou probably pinned the door from the outside.
"Don't waste your efforts, I will notify your family members tomorrow to collect your body!"
Big Head's voice became farther and farther away, and the footsteps gradually disappeared.
He left here.
I sat down next to the copper basin and stared blankly at the flames in the copper basin.
I felt sad and angry. I thought I would stay here for one night to prove that I was not a coward.
Then, when I leave here tomorrow, I will go find Datou to settle the score, beat him severely, and then ignore him again.
From now on, I will only play with Gong Yiyu and ignore them!
The flame in the copper basin danced and burned for a while, but showed no sign of weakening.
After the initial panic, I was actually not that scared anymore.
I picked up a dead branch on the ground, put it in a copper basin and pulled it up.
What was burning in the copper basin was actually a elastic black thing, and I couldn't tell what it was.
I was feeling strange when I suddenly heard voices outside.
"After you go in, you can do whatever I ask you to do. If you find anything unusual, just pretend you didn't see it. Do you understand?"
"understand."
I should have asked for help, but then I thought, if I was discovered now, I would definitely not be able to stay in the ghost temple for one night, and I would definitely be beaten when I got home.
Besides, those kids will definitely continue to laugh at me.
Anyway, now that someone is coming, I am not afraid anymore.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly hid behind the statue.
As soon as I got to the back, I came face to face with a little hedgehog.
When the hedgehog saw me, he bared his teeth at me.
I heard people say that hedgehogs are kindred spirits, friendly to people and responsive to requests.
When I saw it today, it turned out to be a rumor.
Hedgehogs are obviously very fierce!
I also bared my teeth at it, then moved to the other side and listened carefully to what was going on outside.
"Why did the door close after such a short time? Could it be..."
"Shut up! I just reminded you and you are talking nonsense here! Don't blame the ghosts and gods, don't blame me!"
The door of the ghost temple opened with a creak.
I looked out through the gap.
I saw the famous goddess in the village walking in with Li Dazhu's daughter-in-law Ma Xiulian.
Ma Xiulian looks good, but her life is not good.
Both of his parents died when he was young, and Li Dazhu's mother took her home as a child bride.
Fetching water, chopping firewood, farming, feeding pigs and chickens, doing housework and farm work, and doing laundry for the whole family in winter. Whenever my mother mentioned her, she would say she was pitiful and that she was treated like no other by the Li Dazhu family.
Li Dazhu was so submissive that he didn't even dare to fart when he was angry outside. When he got home, he would beat Ma Xiulian to vent his anger, almost beating Ma Xiulian to death several times.
If the village party secretary hadn't come forward to prevent Li Dazhu from causing trouble, Ma Xiulian might have died long ago.
Ma Xiulian and Li Dazhu have been married for ten years, but they still have no children. Many people are laughing at Li Dazhu behind his back, saying that he cannot have children and is not a man.
Ma Xiulian has been drinking a lot of Chinese and Western medicine over the years, but her stomach has been silent.
Li Dazhu went out to hang out with the widow at the west end of the village every day, and Ma Xiulian shed tears all day long.
Li Dazhu's mother cried so hard that she only said that she had harmed the Li family and wanted to annihilate her children.
Although Ma Xiulian has been treated harshly by the Li family over the years, Li Dazhu's mother can be considered her mother and raised her up.
She has deep feelings for the Li family.
She thought, her own miserable life was not as important as continuing the incense of the Li family.
So, she found the goddess and said that no matter what the cost, she wanted to get a boy.
Now, the goddess takes Ma Xiulian into the ghost temple.
The ghost temple was extremely quiet, there was no sound of wind, only the flames in the copper basin were burning, making a "cracking" sound.
