The woman tilted her head to look at Ah Qiang, she raised her slender white fingers and gently hooked Ah Qiang's chin, but Ah Qiang couldn't move or resist like a puppet, but when the woman's fingers sprayed her skin, she suddenly shook, and the woman's fingers were cold without a trace of temperature, like a corpse in a morgue, braving the cold."
Don't touch me," Cuong shouted in a sharp voice.The woman "giggled" and laughed, the laughter made people's hair tingle, and Old Man Li was already slumped on the ground with fright, and Ali was no better, his body barely supported his body against the table."
Don't you three think about possessing me every day, why don't you dare now," the woman said with a laugh, her long nails piercing into Cuong's skin, and a piercing pain made him arch his body.Looking at Cuong's appearance, the woman laughed even more unscrupulously, while Cuong trembled, his chin was pierced by the woman's nails, and blood dripped drop by drop.Then, Cuong's eyes went black and he lost consciousness.When Cuong woke up again, it was pitch black in front of him, and it was not yet dawn, so he sat up in the dark, but he couldn't remember what had happened before, and his head was in a trance.Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, Cuong lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and the villagers were all standing outside, with dry firewood piled on the open ground, and on top of the dry firewood, the beautiful woman who did not look like a human being was tied, and she told them that there would be no more tomorrow.The woman saw Ah Qiang, she looked at her from a distance, the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile again, it was still that weird smile, but, at this moment, Ah Qiang no longer felt fear, he even saw sadness and despair in the woman's eyes, that look made Ah Qiang's heart ache, but he just supported his forehead with his hand to avoid her gaze.The woman was burned to death, and during the whole process, she did not let out a single scream, not even a sound, but before the woman was burned to death, she had said something that terrified everyone."
I'll be back, I will."
The woman looked at Cuong and said it, as if this sentence was specifically said that Cuong listened.Since then, the sky has never been bright, every day is like evening, the sky is gray, not completely dark, but it will not be bright.Since then, Cuong has dreamed every night that a woman is standing on a fire and shouting in a hoarse voice: I will come back, I will definitely every time, Cuong wakes up from a nightmare.It wasn't until October 2009 that Cuong and Ali got married at the same time, and nightmares no longer appeared so often, only once in a while.However, the dreams in the sleep no longer appear, and the nightmares in reality do.On December 20, 2009, this nightmarish night, the woman who was burned to death by them a year ago suddenly appeared, she was still wearing that white costume, beautiful like a fairy in the world, but she was covered in flames, and her beautiful face in the flames was thrilling."
Yes it's you" It was Ali who saw a woman for the first time, and he looked at the woman on fire in horror and turned pale with fright.The woman looked at him stunned, however, her face began to change, because of the fire, her white and tender skin rolled up layer by layer, pieces of charred as charcoal, and the mixed red meat that had just been exposed was quickly roasted, emitting a disgusting aroma of roasted meat.Ali tried his best to endure the uncomfortable feeling of turning over the river and the sea in his stomach, and said in a trembling voice: "No, it's not me, it's not that I'm going to burn you, it's not looking for me" Ali was so frightened that he almost knelt down and kowtowed to her, but he knew that even if he really knelt down and kowtowed to her, she wouldn't let him go.The woman was still approaching, and her whole being was black, but her eyes did not change at all, they were still full of sadness and despair, but there was a fire burning in her eyes, and that fire was a fire of anger that could never be extinguished.Ali was paralyzed on the ground, the woman approached him little by little, and he retreated little by little, and finally entered the house, and in the room, Old Man Li was sleeping on the bed, and he didn't notice anything unusual at all.Wherever the woman passed, it was on fire, and Ali was so frightened that he tried to wake his father, but he couldn't, and he didn't move as if he was dead.The woman is here for revenge, and she will kill everyone here.Ali knew this clearly in his heart, but he never imagined that the first person to die was himself."
Have you forgotten who rescued you when you were in a coma, who took care of you day and night, is this how you repay your benefactor" Ali shouted loudly with the last bit of strength, he was gambling.The woman was unmoved, her body had become charred and indistinguishable, and her face was equally black, but those eyes were staring at Ali, and these eyes alone were enough to make him feel distracted.The place at the door was on fire, and it was impossible to escape, and soon the house would be completely on fire, and both he and his father would be buried in the flames."
I don't want to die, I don't want to die" Ali shouted loudly, but the fire quickly devoured him as if it was alive, Ali kept rolling and screaming in the fire, but the fire did not decrease at all, but grew bigger and bigger.When Cuong returned, the whole house had turned into a sea of fire, and his father and brother were inside, and he was shouting the names of his father and brother.Cuong fell to his knees and shed tears of despair.After that, he and his wife were left in the house, and after the fire was extinguished, the charred bodies of his father and Ali and Ali's wife were found in the rubble, and the house was cleaned and renovated, and Cuong and his wife kept a seven-day vigil for their father and brother.On the last day of the wake, Cuong and his wife sat in the room leaning on each other, the originally happy family of five was now only the two of them, and the unborn child in his wife's womb, Cuong knew that Ali's wife was also pregnant, and the inexplicable fire killed three corpses and four lives."
Ah Qiang, you say, could it be that the woman we burned to death a year ago came back to take revenge" his wife Xiuwen looked up at Ah Qiang and asked."
Don't talk nonsense, she's dead" Cuong's heart pounded, and although he said so in his mouth, he was beating a drum in his heart."
Tomorrow is that woman's death day, shouldn't we" "You're tired, let's rest for a while" Ah Qiang interrupted Xiuwen.Xiuwen looked at Ah Qiang, who was full of gloom, opened her mouth and finally didn't say anything, she knew that Ah Qiang was scared in her heart, since that woman appeared, their village began to be unsafe, and there was no day anymore, they had been living in the dark, some people in the village chose to leave, some chose to stay, some people died because they couldn't adapt to the long-term darkness, their skin became more and more pale, and even Ah Qiang, who was originally dark-skinned, became pale, and looked sick one by one.Xiuwen does feel a little tired, these days she has to help tidy up the house during the day, and she has to keep vigil at night, plus she is pregnant, she is more likely to be tired than ordinary people, at this time, she doesn't even have the strength to speak, but she doesn't want to go to bed to sleep, she feels more secure to stay by Ah Qiang's side, so she leans on Ah Qiang's shoulder to rest for a while."
When you're tired, go to bed and rest, I'll be alone."
Cuong gently touched Xiuwen's hair."
It's okay, I want to be with you" She clenched her husband's hand."
If you don't rest, you can't let the child rest" Ah Qiang continued, Xiuwen raised his head and stared at Ah Qiang's eyes: "Let me stay, I'm afraid" Ah Qiang was stunned, and then said softly: "Okay, if you are tired, don't hold on, just lean on my shoulder and sleep for a while, you know" Xiuwen nodded happily.There was silence all around, only the slow breathing of the two could be heard, their consciousness began to blur, and they leaned on each other and gradually fell asleep.I don't know how long it took, Ah Qiang woke up suddenly, he was not woken up, but was woken up by a cold wind, the wind was too cold, so he couldn't help but shiver all over, although it was winter, but the wind gave him a feeling that was not normal, more like someone quickly walked past him and brought up the wind, but there was no one in the room except him.Cuong suddenly thought that Xiuwen was leaning against him, and now, Xiuwen was gone.Could it be that the wind just now was brought up by Xiuwen when he went out, no, if Xiuwen went out to bring it, then the wind direction should be outward, and the wind just now was obviously inward.Cuong set his eyes on the three coffins containing his father, Ali and Ali's wife, his scalp tingled, and he slowly stood up, his legs weakened, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the coffin."
Xiu Xiuwen, are you in there" He didn't hear anything except for the sound of Ah Qiang's heartbeat beating wildly."
Huh" Ah Qiang breathed a heavy sigh of relief, maybe Xiuwen just went to the toilet, don't scare yourself.He turned around and tried to go back to where he had been, but saw a shadow flash in the doorway."
Xiuwen" Ah Qiang shouted and quickly chased out, however, there was no one outside.Cuong's breathing began to become rapid, he opened his eyes and looked at both sides of the house, but there was not even a ghost shadow, he walked out of the room and went to the bathroom to find Xiuwen.The toilets were at the back of the house, they had built them themselves out of stones, and there was only one room shared by men and women."
Xiuwen, are you in there" The wind suddenly picked up, and Ah Qiang couldn't help but shudder, and he didn't hear Xiuwen's answer, which means that Xiuwen was not inside."
Damn" Ah Qiang tightened his clothes and cursed in a low voice, where would Xiuwen go on such a cold day Or did she go back to her room to sleep:
