After a night of being tortured by invisible things knocking on the window, Zhang Wei and I both felt physically and mentally exhausted, mainly due to fear.
After the sun officially hung in the sky, Uncle Wu appeared. He was still squatting on the wall like a big monkey. He did not enter the courtyard. He just asked the two of us sitting in front of the door with interest, "How did you feel last night?"
how?"
"Uncle, it's so scary. There was a ghost in the upper courtyard last night, and your ghost drawings don't work!"
Uncle Wu spat at Zhang Wei as usual, "You idiot, my talisman doesn't work, how can you two sit at the door and talk to me now?"
"Sanman, tell me, what caused all the fuss last night? Did anyone open the door and enter the house?" Uncle Wu spoke in my direction, and threw a bag of rations for us in with a wave of his hand.
One of us squatted on the wall, and the two of us squatted at the door of the main room, and started chatting with a large yard separated by more than ten meters. We just happened to open the door of the house to get some fresh air. We were eating and drinking in the house. The smell was too much.
Call someone to the top.
As for the windows in both bedrooms?
Forget it, just keep it closed. For the time being, both of us have a shadow on the window. If we forget to close it at night, we will ask if we still want to live. Can the gauze stretcher save my life?
Uncle Wu listened to the two of us telling each other what happened last night. After asking for the specific time, he praised himself with a smile and said, "It seems that my spell works best. Isn't this a surprise?"
Is it safe? Look at the small stones under the window sill and you two won’t be afraid anymore!”
Indeed, when we opened the door in the morning, Zhang Wei and I saw that under the window sills of the two houses, there were small stones of different sizes in a certain area. There were no such stones in the yard when Uncle Wu left yesterday.
On the side where I only heard a few noises, there were not many stones. Instead, Zhang Wei and I hid for the night. It turned out that there was almost a layer of stones under the window where I lived.
These eight facts are the truth about the knocking on the window last night.
"You see, do you understand something? Yesterday, I had this talisman but nothing could get in. There are little paw prints on the wall. You two are so scared that you two are so cowardly. It's embarrassing!"
As soon as Zhang Wei heard that this was a rat making a monster, he got bold and said angrily to Uncle Wu, "Uncle, what you said about the rat making a monster yesterday was so amazing, can you get some more mouse medicine and it will be over? It's really
, scared me out of my mind."
I didn't dare to do that. That big rat is as big as a cat and can kowtow. We have seen it with our own eyes. People only eat rat poison when they get tired of it.
Zhang Wei kept things simple.
"Uncle Wu, this is going to be noisy for a few days. What if someone comes into the house?"
I don’t dare to pretend to be naive. In order to ensure my survival, humbly asking for advice is the best way to go.
"Just two more days. You can chop and kill as soon as you enter the house. The rat will grow into a calf, but it will still be physical. The flesh is afraid of knives. Aren't you ready with all the kitchen knives behind you?"
Uncle Wu pointed at the kitchen knife that was thrown aside behind me, waved his hand and stopped chatting with us. Maybe his legs were numb from squatting, so he turned around, jumped off the wall, and left silently!
During the day, Zhang Wei and I tried not to leave the house because we were really afraid of damaging the charms in the yard. He had a great time playing with his mobile phone. He ate when he was hungry and drank when he was thirsty, trying to solve his physiological problems.
If there is a problem, ask me to step aside.
I have a mobile phone for the elderly in my hand, and it is impossible to play games. My grandfather bought this mobile phone for me after saving money for many days. It is convenient for making calls and contacting me in time if I need anything.
Fortunately, I don't have time to play with my mobile phone. Now I have time to read my grandfather's book, hoping to engrave all the knowledge in my mind as soon as possible.
The beginning of the article is about Braille techniques, which are all about Feng Shui trends, the principles of Yin Zhai and Yang Zhai, and demonstration pictures. It is also accompanied by illustrations. Although the pictures are a bit abstract, I can understand them, but the words are quite convoluted. I read it once or twice.
After reading it two or three times, I can only get a rough idea.
This is also because I was good at Chinese studies in school, so I read this book directly as a classical Chinese text.
The eight dragons standing in the direction above, ten no burials in mountains, ten no burials in plains, ten taboos in tombs, ten views on moving tombs, etc. made me remember this but forget about that. After thinking about it carefully, I felt that I could still remember the last one.
It’s seven or eight minutes to get up.
I was just reading nonsense like this, and time passed quickly. When the next night came, Zhang Wei spontaneously hugged his quilt and walked to the room where I was reading.
"Get on your side of the kang tonight, and we'll stay up till dawn together."
I didn't object, anyway, now we are almost like grasshoppers on the same rope. Fortunately, the fire pit is big enough. We lean on the cabinet on the pit, each covering our heads with quilts, and there is no sound in the courtyard except for the knocking on the window.
The additional squeaking noise of the mouse was thought to be inaudible.
I was holding a kitchen knife in my hand, and Zhang Wei was carrying the wood-cutting knife at the door of the stove, both for self-defense and for courage.
The second night there were a few more rats squealing, plus the sound of teeth scratching on the glass, but there was no danger and we got through it smoothly.
But we were on tenterhooks during the day and frightened at night, and now we were as listless as chickens who had been cooked to a certain extent.
When Uncle Wu came to feed him, he just had a bad smile on his face and said, "We kept it tonight, today is the real test."
He pointed at the stones piled up under the windows on both sides, and walked away without saying anything clearly.
During the day, just because of Uncle Wu's words, the two of us stayed in seclusion, reading and playing with our mobile phones. We couldn't even eat. We looked back and forth at the house that had kept us safe for two days.
I always feel like that crazy rat will appear out of nowhere at some point.
Finally, when it got dark, Zhang Wei couldn't help but was hungry and was tinkering with instant noodles. Suddenly, I realized!
He happily dug out the high-top rain rubber boots that my father and I used to wear when it rained, and threw a pair to Zhang Wei. He put the other pair on his feet, and tied the opening with a rope, wearing clothes and pants.
They were all tied up tightly, fully armed and ready.
"Sanman, are you possessed? What are you doing?"
Zhang Wei, who was slurping noodles with a bowl in hand, was confused and looked at me like he was crazy.
"What do I do? I save my life. What can I do? You don't even think about it. Did Uncle Wu just draw the doors, windows and yard? What about the roof? What about the back wall? What about the yard and house next door? I finally figured it out. Those who are looking for
There is a good chance that the rats that come to your door will land tonight. If you are not careful, you will chew off a toe. Don't blame me."
"Ah..." The noodles in Zhang Wei's mouth fell directly back into the bowl, with a look of horror on his face, "This... let me dress up too, Sanman, we are close friends, you... are going to do it tonight
Look after me!"
The origin of these rats is definitely related to the big rat that kowtowed to me. It is probably because of the shameless ones in the grave, and the big rat felt unwilling to accept it and suffered a loss on Zhang Wei and me. This happened for two consecutive years.
Oh my God, I am thinking of ways to take revenge today!
I don't know whether I can survive tonight, so I can only do my best and listen to fate.
