Zhang Wei said that there was no one there, but the three people in front of me remained unchanged at all, still spinning in circles as before.
Cold sweat is no longer dripping, but flowing down his forehead.
It was my first time to experience such a weird thing, and I was definitely not as frightened as Zhang Wei.
And just when I wanted to be bold enough to take a look at the situation over there and confirm it one last time.
Zhang Wei took two steps back, probably because he was too scared.
Behind the two of us is an old solitary grave. There is a circle of trees planted around it, and the soul-calling flags that were blown away by the wind are still hanging on the branches.
The white paper on the soul-calling flag slid across Zhang Wei's exposed neck.
He was frightened and rushed away from me, exposing himself to an open space without tree cover.
I thought to myself, it's over! If those three unknown things turn their heads, they will immediately discover our presence. What if they rush over?
I figured that no matter whether the other party was a human or a ghost, nothing could happen to Zhang Wei.
Immediately, I braved myself and rushed out, standing only three steps away from Zhang Wei, holding the wooden pole tightly.
A strange thing happened again. Zhang Wei in front of him stretched out his hands and groped around like a blind man, calling out in a low voice with a crying sound, "Sanman, Sanman, where have you been? Why is it so dark all of a sudden?"
Ah, don’t leave me, wuwuwu..."
This guy didn't even see me and was so scared that he cried.
In the panic, he took another step forward and saw the shovel he had thrown on the ground. If he stepped on it, he would be knocked unconscious by the handle of the shovel.
I noticed it and wanted to pull him, but it was too late.
"Ouch……"
Zhang Wei was directly bounced by the handle and screamed. I looked towards the three strange figures in horror.
Zhang Wei's shout obviously alarmed them. The three figures put down their hands on their shoulders and all turned towards our direction.
Zhang Wei, whose vision had regained clarity, hugged my thigh and cried, "Sanman, I was blind just now and couldn't find you. I was scared to death!"
A thought suddenly came to my mind: Could it be that Zhang Wei was blinded by a ghost just now, so he turned a blind eye to me?
Both ghosts covering their eyes and ghosts hitting the wall have one characteristic, that is, they are afraid of being disturbed by other voices, or being bumped into and revealed by others!
Once it is broken, the effect will disappear, and the trapped person will be instantly clear as if he wakes up from sleep.
Could it be that the three dark figures over there are also...
I raised my eyes and looked in the direction of the dark shadow that almost scared me to death just now.
The dim light shone down, it wasn't Ye Xu and his two friends, who else could it be.
The other party obviously saw us standing on the big moon.
The leader, Ye Xu, yelled, "Ye Sanman, you god of plague! Damn it, were you the one who tricked us just now!"
They were carrying buckets of fishy liquid in their hands, and there was a smell of blood. I immediately understood what it was.
Dog blood, the thing that is said to burn the souls!
Bringing blood into the cemetery must be to damage grandpa's grave, which is not good for grandpa!
I pulled Zhang Wei on the ground.
Without waiting for them to get close, he yelled loudly, picked up the wooden pole in his hand, rushed forward and smashed the three people towards them.
Anyone who dared to follow Ye Xu into the mountains at night to do evil would be prepared to be beaten. I preemptively cursed, "God damn your mother, I can't beat you to death today!"
Zhang Wei reacted quickly, jumped up with his hands and feet, and rushed forward with a shovel to help.
I specifically picked Ye Xu to start with, and hammered the flesh with the wooden bar as thick as my wrist!
The three people over there were obviously trapped because of the strange situation just now. They felt guilty and frightened by our posture. They lost everything in their hands and ran down the mountain with their heads in their hands and howling.
All the troublemakers ran away, and Zhang Wei and I were exhausted, holding on to our weapons and gasping for air.
There were several flashlights on the ground, and most of them were guilty of not daring to light them. I turned on the flashlights and saw that my grandfather’s grave was intact.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were fascinated and didn't have time to do anything.
All the dog red in the vat was scattered aside, and the tiger's mouth was sore and swollen. Ye Xu must have been beaten hard, and he deserved it!
Finally, all the resentment in my heart is gone!
Maybe grandpa had a spirit and protected this place before I arrived.
The fear was temporarily relieved. The moment I saw my grandfather's tombstone, the anger in my heart dissipated. The scene at home and the frightening experience that night all made me feel unspeakably aggrieved.
It was held in my chest and felt uncomfortable.
I threw the wooden pole away, knelt down straight in front of my grandfather's grave, put my hands on the ground, and cried loudly.
The cries startled the birds on the tree to fly in all directions, but Zhang Wei stayed by my side silently.
I don’t know how long I cried, but my voice finally subsided.
Zhang Wei walked up to me and pulled me, "Sanman, Mr. Chuanhai loves you the most. I can't bear to see you suffer too much. I've cried and felt aggrieved. Let's go back."
I didn't get up, but my heart calmed down.
My relatives who care about me are all dead, and there are still tens of thousands of debts on my head. My uncle's family is like a hungry wolf and tiger. If I were not here, this old house would definitely be resold by them.
My birthday is not far away now, in order to survive, for my grandpa's wish.
My heart was extremely determined and I took out the crumpled college admission notice from my arms.
"Grandpa, I have been admitted to college. I also received your letter. I will burn this notice for you. If I can't study, I will enter the Yin and Yang line!"
I searched all the pockets all over my body and couldn't find anything to light the fire.
Instead, Zhang Wei stretched out his hand with a lighter, and the orange-red flame flickered.
I lit the paper in my hand, and the thin paper caught fire.
The blazing fire ignited and went out, but only for a moment.
It was as if I saw my shadow in the fire, swaying.
What it swept away was a dream I once had, leaving me confused and unpredictable for the rest of my life.
Picking up the flashlight on the ground, I took one last look at my grandfather's grave.
Grandpa and I will work together to deal with those few tonight, and they will never have the guts to come back and do anything again.
Grandpa felt relieved when he saw me like this. I turned around and called Zhang Wei to go back.
With the light of the flashlight, the situation was much better than the pitch black darkness when we arrived.
Zhang Wei had confidence in his heart. He had just had a fight and his blood was boiling. He was not as afraid as before.
He walked beside me swaggeringly carrying a shovel and pretending to be relaxed, looking for topics to chat with.
We all deliberately ignored the graves on both sides and the sound of thin ropes coming from invisible places in the dark forest.
"Sanman, your little intestines and chicken feet are of no use. I'm hungry again."
"Be patient, I'm digging in the wilderness to find food. I don't know what time it is now. You can go home for dinner at dawn."
I walked in the front position, and the flashlight in my hand shot out a circle of light that grew from small to large, illuminating a few meters in front of me.
Our field of vision is only so wide, and our feet are surrounded by darkness. Walking in this mountain does not feel beautiful.
I just wanted to go home early and exchange some incense for my grandpa.
Before I had taken two steps, the Lao trees in the surrounding trees began to make miserable croaking sounds. This sound made my scalp numb, especially in such an environment.
The night owl's shrill and piercing howls are heard one after another, piercing the eardrums and causing pain to the skull!
The green will-o'-the-wisp flickers like a beast dormant in the dark, staring at its prey, appearing and disappearing.
Laos is the crow. In many places, this bird is regarded as unlucky. It is so named because it only lives in barren mountains and ridges and places where there are dead people.
It's not enough for them to scare us like this. Their dark bodies spread out their wings, and many of them fluttered out of the darkness. Zhang Wei was so frightened that even Zhang Wei took a few steps closer to me.
"The temples are being bombed in Laos. Why do I feel that this is not a good thing?"
Hearing what he said, I bravely comforted him, "Don't think nonsense, you are just scaring yourself. You weigh more than 150 pounds, why are you afraid of a bird?"
These words not only comforted him, but also comforted myself. To be honest, I was also very upset.
The air around me was very cold, but I vaguely smelled something strange, and I poked it into my nose...
"Sanman, do you smell the meat? It smells like stewed meat!" Zhang Wei sniffed hard, sniffing and sniffing.
When he said it, I really thought it was like this.
