Chapter 272: Ghost on the bed (3)

"Chief Royal, if ghosts are pressing down on the bed, ghosts are pressing down on the bed. How come it still causes a headache? Don't the sheets and quilts catch fire?" Dasha asked blankly.

"Haha, it's not really a fire, but the person who was pressed into bed by the ghost felt a headache like a burning fire. In fact, after breaking free and waking up, there was no real fire burning!" The old patriarch with a serious face was also shocked by Dasha.

The words made me laugh.

"That's strange. Are there men and women when the ghost presses on the bed?" Xiao Li also said in surprise, "Since the old patriarch said it's not a ghost seeking sex, how come it only targets men? How long has this been going on?

Is it time? Is it very powerful?"

"Ahem, yes, yes," the old patriarch sighed, "This has been happening for several years. In the past, it was only once in a while that ghosts pressed on the bed, and regardless of gender, it was not that serious.

, let alone feel a headache. I don’t know what’s going on in the past few years. Male laborers over twenty years old in the village often encounter this kind of strange thing, which makes people afraid of going to bed at night. It’s not the busy farming season, so just go to bed at night.

Even if you play mahjong and rest during the day, you still can’t run away!”

"A ghost is pressing down on the bed, which makes people so scared that they dare not rest at night. It seems the problem is not small!" Boss Liu said, "Since it is so serious, haven't you found some kind of miraculous man and half-fairy to take a look at it?

?”

"Well, how could you not ask someone to take a look, because this matter is no longer a matter of one household, basically every household will encounter it, and it is almost the same seriousness. So within a radius of dozens of miles, several villages

We have almost searched for all the capable men and half immortals, but their bright

When people came over to take a look, some said it was a ghost, some said it was a fairy, some said it was a spirit in white clothes, and so on. When solving problems, they also burned incense and made wishes, hung up charms to ward off evil spirits, or

It’s the same cliche as the dancing master, but it’s of no use at all!”

After hearing what the old patriarch said, the few of us realized that what the foreign monk said before his death seemed indeed true.

If this Wangjialou is just an ordinary little ghost who is taking advantage of people and absorbing the essence of living people, firstly, it will never be so serious, and secondly, it will not leave those gods and half-immortals helpless; not to mention that it is not Guiqiu

Huan, then why does that ghost thing target men instead of women?

Because Mr. Liu didn't tell us the purpose of our trip in advance, it's not convenient for us to say more. Since we are staying in Wangjialou tonight, we'd better experience it ourselves.

So we didn't continue to talk about this topic. After we had enough wine and food, the old patriarch asked his son to arrange for us to rest in the guest room.

"Boss Liu, why don't you just make it clear to the old patriarch? Why don't you just say that we came to this place just to find out about the ghost pressing the bed? That would be great!" Dasha complained that Boss Liu was beating around the bush.

Girls.

"Haha, brother Dasha, you don't even think about it, so many of our brothers are still recuperating and have no fighting ability at all. If you are unfamiliar with the place, you can honestly explain it clearly to everyone you meet, and you won't be afraid of traitors.

Or something, tipping off little Japan?" Mr. Liu whispered loudly.

He said, "Besides, we are not sure we can solve this problem for them. Is it necessary to tell them everything? Even if you pat your chest and tell them everything, they won't believe a few soldiers? How many gods and semi-immortals have been hired?

The problem has not been solved yet, why should we trust a few soldiers!"

"Well, it's better for Mr. Liu to consider the matter comprehensively. As the saying goes, 'You can only say a few words when meeting people, but don't throw everything away. In case the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional, he sells us to a small business.

Japan, we don't care, so why don't we trick Brother No. 100?" Xiao Li said, "Besides, the old patriarch has promised us to live in this Wangjialou for a few days, are you still worried about not getting it clear?"

"Haha, maybe it won't take a few days. When you go to bed later, you will know how powerful the ghosts here are!" I said to Brother Li, "Brother Li, if the person who comes to see us tonight is a woman,

Ghost, I’ll leave it to you alone to deal with it!”

Although we had worked hard all day and drank a lot, we were not sleepy, because in our hearts we were looking forward to seeing what the ghost in Wangjialou was doing and how powerful he was.

But I was not sure whether it would be like what the old patriarch said. Not only was I unable to break away from the ghost for a long time, but I also had a headache as if it was on fire!

After chatting for a while, it was already getting late. We felt sleepy and fell asleep in anticipation and anxiety.

Several rooster crows woke me up from my dream. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the outside was hazy and white, and it was not far from dawn. I stretched myself and rubbed my sleepy eyes, but I was surprised to find that tonight I actually

I haven’t encountered any ghosts!

Look at them again. They are all sleeping soundly, especially Brother Dasha. There seems to be a smile on his half-open mouth, as if he is having a sweet dream...

Am I not just lucky? Didn't they also encounter ghosts?

I was lying on the bed alone and thinking: The old patriarch himself said that the ghosts in Wangjialou were making a lot of noise on the bed. We were also prepared accordingly, but we didn’t expect that we didn’t encounter them at all!

Could it be that those ghosts are like honest and kind mountain people who are particularly hospitable and can’t bear to disturb us? Or are they afraid of us who carry knives and guns? But in other places, we who also carry knives and guns will not encounter ghost pressure.

Bed?

One rooster crows, followed by hundreds of roosters. After a few roosters crow, soon the whole small mountain village is crowing continuously, one after another, waking up Mr. Liu and others.

"Hey, I didn't encounter any ghosts on my bed?" Brother Li exclaimed in surprise.

Boss Liu and Goudan also woke up one after another, and they all said that they could encounter ghosts in other places, but in Wangjialou, where the ghosts are the most powerful, they slept soundly all night. Is this not the case?

It is considered the most dangerous place, but is it the safest place?

We all discussed it and found it ridiculous and unbelievable. Could it be that this ghost who takes advantage of people and takes advantage of them still gives special preferential treatment to our national army?

Finally, it was Boss Liu who said, stop talking about it. We will stay in Wangjialou for a few days anyway. Yesterday was too late. Today we will take a walk around the village and learn more about it.

So a few of us got up, washed up, and quickly helped the old patriarch's family clean the courtyard and fetch water to water the vegetables---a few young and strong guys can't just live and eat in someone else's house for free without doing some work, right?

After breakfast, we told the old patriarch that since it was not the busy farming season and there was no farm work to do, we would just wander around the village.

We walked around the village and found that what the old patriarch said was true. Perhaps due to the late rest, nearly half of the people in the village had not yet gotten up. The remaining people who came out for activities were also men who were sluggish, but women were full of energy.

Looks like...

Mr. Liu saw several people chatting in front of a house, so he took us over to join in the fun and find out what we wanted to know.

After some introductions, the mountain people who were chatting gradually lost their wariness when they saw that although we were carrying rifles, we were very easy-going and homely, and definitely not like bandits or stragglers, and started chatting with us.

"Fellow fellow, a few of us stayed at the old patriarch's house yesterday. The old patriarch shocked us before going to bed!" Mr. Liu slowly brought the topic to Gui Lai's bed.

"Impossible. The old patriarch is highly respected. Not to mention your anti-Japanese national army, he is also a traveling Taoist priest and a beggar monk. The old patriarch also warmly entertains you. Besides, how can he scare you national troops with fast guns?

!" said an old man, "Haha, unless I'm trying to scare you, I won't let you sleep until you finish drinking a few jars of wine!"

"Haha, we are afraid of everything except drinking." Brother Dasha said cheerfully, "What the old patriarch said is that the ghosts here are so powerful and scary that they scared us even in the middle of the night.

I don’t dare to sleep!”

As soon as Brother Dasha said these words, the atmosphere that was originally relaxed and full of laughter immediately became silent!

"Hey, it's been a few years. When have you ever had a good night's sleep?" A middle-aged man finally broke the silence after a while, "You foreigners must have been quite scared last night, right? No wonder, you were

That damn thing held me tight and I couldn't get away for a long time. Who would be scared? Not to mention my headache was as if it was on fire..."

"Yes, yes, my child's father used to be so strong. They said he was a big man with a red face. But now look, he has dark circles under his eyes and a yellow complexion. He looks like a sick man!" Gui pressed the bed and started talking.

When she opened it, a village woman sighed.

"Your child's father is already in his forties, right? Look at my three-year-old son. He is only in his twenties. He looks so depressed because he doesn't get enough rest. He seems to have never slept all day long!"

An old man took over what the woman said.

"Haha, it seems that your place is quite weird. In other places, even if you encounter a ghost on the bed, it will only be over in a short time at most. Are the ghosts here more powerful or what?

, crushing people to death, and not wanting to leave for a long time!" Brother Li said pretendingly, "Is this always like this here?"

"How can it happen? It happened in the past few years. It was not like this at all before. Even if you encounter a ghost, it will be over quickly, and you won't encounter it every day and night! The key is that ghost.

, it only looks after the affairs of men, and never bothers women!" A man said angrily after taking a few puffs of cigarette.

After talking about this, we have a certain idea in our minds, that is: the ghosts that appear in Wangjialou are not only powerful and long-lasting, but also often encountered by people. Although they are very troublesome and scary, the ghosts never appear.

When it comes to trouble with women, it doesn't even bother us who pass by, or it doesn't harm or scare people. Another point is that this strange phenomenon has not been around for a long time, but has only appeared in the past few years.

...

But, what is this weird ghost thing? Why does it only trouble men but never attacks women?

"Brother, is there any female ghost in your Wang family building? Why does it only find trouble for men?" Xiao Li asked the middle-aged man.

"I've looked at a few magicians before, but they didn't say there was any female ghost. Instead, some said it was a ghost that was causing trouble, and some said it was some kind of weird thing, but I didn't find out what was going on."

The young man said, "And when I went to bed at night, I found that the ghost didn't look like a female ghost.

It’s so dark that I can’t even see what it is. If it’s a female ghost, hey, he should just be looking for someone. But all the men in Wangjialou said when we were chatting together, no one met him.

If a ghost asks for that when it's suppressing someone, it means it's not a female ghost!"

"Haha, even if it's a female ghost, she shouldn't make people's heads hurt so much, it's like burning them with fire!" A man next to him continued.

When the man said this, I suddenly thought of one thing, that is, when we passed a mass grave on the way to Wangjialou, could the fireball we saw have something to do with this matter? Could it be related to the last night?

Drinking will make you forget about it!

Thinking of this, I quickly interjected: "Oh, I drank too much last night, and I almost forgot. Is there a mass grave in front of you, next to the woods? Isn't it not very clean there?"

"Hey, that ghost place, who can go there!" A man shook his head and said, "It is indeed a mess of graves, and the mess is full of dead bodies that died violently and had no owners. It's not us.

The ancestral cemetery of Wangjialou!"

"Yes, that mass grave is not clean. In the past, people could see some ghosts and ghosts there in broad daylight, so usually no one would be full enough to go to that ghost place." The man continued.

He said, "Think about it, only those who can't enter the ancestral graves will be taken to that place and buried casually. Not all of them die a good death or die in good health, so of course that area is very tight!"

Boss Liu seemed to have remembered the strange things we saw when we came, so he quickly asked: "Have you seen any fireballs or anything around that mass grave? We saw it when we passed by there!"

"Fireball? Oh, you're talking about will-o'-the-wisps, of course, places like that are indispensable! How come there are no will-o'-the-wisps in the mass graveyard?" After the man said it nonchalantly, he comforted us and said, "We are here.

Most people have seen will-o'-the-wisps. I heard people say that those will-o'-the-wisps are made from dead people's bones or something, and they are not harmful. You don't have to be afraid!"
