Chapter Twenty-Seven: Neighborhood Ghosts 3
I stared at her fiercely, and after her door was closed, I closed my door. But after the door was closed, there was another knock on the door. There was a drum in my heart. It was the child who came. That's right.
I plucked up the courage and opened the door. Outside the door, the willow branches on the red line were swaying violently. But there was no one in front of me. Hell, there was no ghost either! I just didn't see it anyway!
Didn’t my cousin say that the red thread wrapped around my wrist would lower my yang energy, and I could see that? Apart from the knock on the door just now, I didn’t hear or see anything.
Dear friends, you must have had this experience. You heard a knock on the door and opened the door. There was nothing outside. You thought you heard it wrong, so you closed the door.
I know that I can't close the door now. If I close the door, we will have done so many things in vain, and maybe the child will actually turn from a little devil into a cruel evil spirit, harming people everywhere.
I looked at the empty space in front of the door, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I am Teacher Xiao, but it is already very late today and the make-up classes are over. I will call your father and ask him to pick you up at the gate of the community. You
Go to the gate of the community and wait for your father."
This was a planned line. After saying it to the empty space in front of me, I became even more nervous. I couldn't see him. If he took the opportunity to get into our house through the open door, wouldn't the baby be in danger?
I wonder if my cousin’s talisman is useful?
The willow branches on the red string gradually stopped swinging, probably because he left. I didn't dare to let go of the red string in my hand, so I took out my cell phone with my left hand and reported the situation to my cousin.
The cousin said: "I saw it. He came down and headed towards the entrance of the community. I'll go over there and have a look."
Since there was still my cousin over there, I didn’t go over there, but pulled off the red rope from my wrist. I closed the door hard, huddled on the sofa, and turned on the TV very loudly. The baby was in the room, and he was a small child.
It's not easy to wake up after falling asleep.
My cousin stayed like this all night. I fell asleep on the sofa in a daze. When I woke up from sleep, I had forgotten about it. I went back to the room in a daze, and fell asleep.
Fell asleep.
The next morning I was woken up by the baby. After I woke up and took care of her, I discovered that my cousin didn't come back at all last night. Did I go to his place with my cousin?
After the aunt made breakfast, the cousin also came back. Both of them had dark circles under their eyes and were confused, sitting at the table, eating porridge indiscriminately.
My brother looked at them and asked how was it last night? I told him about my situation when I woke up in the morning.
The cousin stuffed the pickled vegetables and said: "We stayed with the child outside until four o'clock before he could squint his eyes. Lao Zhong didn't see it. Let's get some sleep in the morning. We'll help the child look for his parents.
Let his parents take him away."
Although I was sleepy, I still had to take care of the baby when I woke up. After my brother went to work, I took the baby to the small garden downstairs. There were some wickers thrown in the trash can on the side, and the aunt who was sweeping the floor also
There she was mumbling about someone who was unscrupulous and cut the willow branches in the community. I didn't dare to respond and just walked past her. Fortunately, my cousin took care of the red rope last night.
The small garden has always been a place for gossip, and the old ladies were chatting. One of them said that a child from her granddaughter's school has been missing for more than a week. He was probably abducted. Everyone started talking about the abduction.
A lot.
I wondered if it could be that child?
At noon, the baby went to sleep and my cousin got up. I told them the news. They decided to start the search from school. We couldn't go directly to the police station and ask for the home phone number of the child who disappeared a week ago.
Maybe they thought we abducted the child.
My cousin’s former girlfriend was a teacher in that school. You know, his rich second-generation girlfriends can change girlfriends at a speed not to mention the speed of light, at least the speed of sound. I don’t know how they do it.
Anyway, they got the child's information during dinner.
The missing child's name is Zuo Xin. There happens to be a teacher Xiao in their school. Teacher Xiao's home is in a community just a little bit inside ours. The name of the community is just one character different from ours. There is a high possibility of a mistake.
.
It must be him!
But who will make the call? My cousin refused this task. He said: "I am just a migrant worker. What if people look down on me and hang up the phone without talking to me?"
My cousin refused this task. He said: "I'd better not fight. Don't you all say I'm dragging you? What should I do if I drag people and they ignore me?"
My brother was honored to take on this task. I watched him sitting on the sofa, dialing the other party's number with his mobile phone, chatting and chatting, starting from the children, to the school, to the tutor, and then to the children.
He disappeared. The child was waiting for him at the gate of the community, asking him to come over at twelve o'clock tonight.
I really don’t know why a stranger would chat with my brother for more than ten minutes.
But the task is completed, we will wait until twelve o'clock in the evening.
I asked the aunt to sleep with the baby for a while, and then the four of us went downstairs. The security room next to the gate of the community was really crowded with the four of us. The two little security guards were surprised that we arrived.
What are you doing here? My cousin called and ordered M Ji’s takeaway. Soon everyone was eating to their heart’s content.
My cousin suddenly poked me and pointed me to look outside. There was nothing outside. It was already 11:50, and at this time, there were very few people going up and down.
I guess the kid was waiting. The four of us all understood it tacitly. Just three or four steps outside the door of the security room, there was a kid standing.
But the two security guards didn't feel anything and continued to eat and drink. Only one of them said: "It seems a little cold."
"It's already twelve o'clock," said another.
But why hasn’t the child’s father come over? Could it be that he won’t come? If the child’s father doesn’t come over, can we wait all night?
Urged my brother and asked him to call the child's father.
The news I received was that the child's father had already arrived and was on the way.
My cousin and my brother walked out. I still didn’t want to go, I was still scared. Looking from a distance on the opposite road, my brother and cousin were talking to a man riding an electric bike, and looked here from time to time.
Of course they were not looking at me, but at the kid next to me outside. I just don’t know why the kid didn’t pounce on his father?
From a distance, I watched my cousin take out a writing brush, and the father also started crying and whispered something.
My cousin pulled me and said, "Go over and have a look."
Now that they were all gone, I was even more scared to stay here. I still went out with my cousin. But as soon as I went out, I became even more nervous.
Listening to the father whispering: "Son, please go. Your parents will burn incense for you. Wuwu."
The cousin held up his brush and said, "The child is gone."
The child's father began to cry even more sadly, which was really heartbreaking to hear on such a quiet night. My brother comforted him, but he still cried until he became weak. My brother and cousin held the man,
Sit on a stone bench by the roadside and let him cry enough before talking. Such a child was thought to be missing, but now he is dead.
My brother looked at us and immediately said, "What are you doing here? Go home, it's so late. My cousin can go back too, and I'll sit with him."
Among us, my brother has the strongest ability to communicate with strangers. So my cousins and I all went back.
On the way back, I also asked my cousin what they said to the man. My cousin said: "It means that his child has left. He asked Teacher Xiao in our community and asked us to take him to the gate of the community and let the child wait."
He came to pick him up. He didn't believe it at first, so we talked about the child's characteristics, and then he believed it. He also said that at around 7 o'clock that night, he sent the child to the gate of the community and hurried to work the night shift. He didn't watch.
The teacher came to pick up the child, but the child just disappeared. He asked him to say a few words to the child, and the child was quite pitiful and cried harder than his father."
Uh, I can't see it.
However, it seems that parents nowadays should pay more attention to their children. Don't leave just like that. If you are late for work, you will be deducted at most, but if your child is abandoned like this, he will feel so uncomfortable.
Waiting until something happens and crying, there is no way to turn back time.
My brother came back very late and I couldn't sleep that night. Looking at my sleeping baby, there is absolutely nothing in this world that is more important than my baby. Money, power, interests, work and reputation are not as important as my children.
A few days after this incident, the child's body was found by the police station.
It’s just that this incident was not broadcast on the news or published in newspapers because the death of the child was not right. This incident was also mentioned by the old policeman when he met me at the vegetable market. Although he has retired now,
But he still knew a lot of things about the police station.
He whispered to me that the child was found in the river. His hands and feet were tied and he was sunk in the river. However, he was not drowned, but his internal organs were burned, and there was a weight hanging on his ankle. If
It's not surprising that the internal organs were burned by someone pouring some acid or alkali into them. However, during the autopsy, there was still heat inside the internal organs, and the identification said they were burned by fire.
I went home and told my cousin. While holding Jiansan, my cousin said, "Maybe someone gave me a talisman. I know that there is a talisman that can be stuffed into people's mouths and burned in their stomachs. This will work."
To force the person's soul out completely. The purpose of weighing the weight is to prevent the child's soul from leaving the body, and he can only suffer the pain of his internal organs being burned. This will deepen the kid's resentment. As for why the child is a failed refining kid, I just
I don’t know anymore. I also want to learn how to practice brat, but there is no one to teach me.”
I said: "It's better not to learn it. Be careful. It says on the first page of the book that if you want to learn this skill, you must first commit suicide."
