Obviously not in Grandpa's words, this is definitely Li Hu's calculations, I don't know what Li Hu is doing outside these years, but he chose this day to dig graves, and use the chin of the female corpse to aromatize, mainly to collect corpse oil Grandpa didn't elaborate on what the so-called corpse oil was for, but judging from his dignified tone, the corpse oil was definitely terrifying.When my grandfather arranged all this, he deliberately buried the baby's body on another hill more than ten miles away from our village, not to deliberately break up the two of them, but to wait for the first seven to pass, and then send the baby's body over to be buried with Li's lame daughter-in-law.Who knew that Li Hu secretly dug up the baby's corpse, and was buried with the female corpse on the first seven days, maybe Li Hu just wanted to get a little corpse oil smoothly, maybe he didn't expect to poke out such a big basket.Who would have thought that a damn black cat grandfather would come out in the end and said that if there was no black cat, after the death of the lame Li family, the female ghost should no longer harm people.But because of the appearance of that black cat, the whole village is now implicated.Grandpa said a lot, and what he said was a bit mysterious, if it was in the past, I would never believe it.But after experiencing this exciting scene at night, I can't help but believe it.After my grandfather packed up my things, he hurried out of the house with me, pointed to my door, and said: "When I left before, I smeared some of the black dog blood mixed with incense ash on the side of your door and window, otherwise, I won't be able to stop the female ghost from doing it, don't look at it, let's go quickly" followed the grandfather and left the house in a hurry, it was already the second half of the night, and the village was very quiet and deadly silent.This situation is very abnormal, many people in the village have dogs at home, and it is normal to occasionally bark two dogs in the middle of the night.My heart was beating fast, and I followed my grandfather's side closely, looking around in horror, for fear that the female ghost would come out of some dark place in the corner.After a few minutes, we walked out of the village quickly, and Grandpa paused, looked back, and his face became very ugly.I followed his gaze and looked behind me, and saw that the whole village was filled with a faint fog, and the fog was getting thicker and thicker, gradually enveloping the whole village, everything in the village became blurred, and a cold wind blew over, and I couldn't help but shiver."
Don't look, let's go" Grandpa grabbed me, quickened his pace, and left quickly.Our village is reluctant to be from the town, and it is about half an hour's walk away.The shroud shop opened by my grandfather is on the southwest street of the town, and the whole store area is not large, only more than 20 square meters.There are some paper figures and paper horses in the store, as well as some semi-finished products, which look rather cluttered.After coming here, I was still a little frightened, sitting on the stool, and my whole body couldn't help but tremble a little.Grandpa squatted at the door of the shroud shop and smoked a dry tobacco pouch, pot after pot, and the smell of the old smoking gun was very pungent.After a long time, Grandpa suddenly sighed, took out a small bag from his package, and hung it directly on his body.Grandpa looked at me with a solemn face and said, "God, don't go anywhere if you stay here, no matter who calls you, don't respond, and don't invite anyone in."
If I come back after dawn, I'll be fine.If I don't come back at dawn, when the evening comes, take out the yellow lantern from the corner and hang it on the doorpost.Remember, you can go out during the day, but you must not go out at night, no matter who calls you, you can't get out of this shop" "Grandpa, what are you going to do" My voice trembled a little.Grandpa's eyes were complicated, he sighed lightly, a little bitterness appeared on the old face, and said: "You can't just watch everyone in a village die, let's give it a try and see if my old bones can solve this matter, after all, I also have a certain responsibility for this matter, even if I don't go to her, she will come to the door" After speaking, grandpa turned around and left directly, and the figure quickly disappeared into the night.After my grandfather left, I waited anxiously and nervously, and I felt like a year.Time passed little by little, until it was getting lighter, and there were already pedestrians coming and going on the street outside, and Grandpa had not yet returned.My heart was completely cold, and I sat on the threshold of the shroud shop in a daze, lost my soul.Grandpa was sad, I lowered my head, and I couldn't stop crying at all, so I cried like a fool.I have been dependent on my grandfather since I was a child, and if my grandfather is really gone, then I will have no relatives in this world.My grandfather's life and death were uncertain, but I could only sit here, and the sadness and despair in my heart made me almost crazy."
Little brother" At this time, an old voice sounded in my ears.I looked up and saw a somewhat scruffy old man standing in front of me, holding a broken teapot with a few coins in it.The sloppy old man smiled at me, and shook the broken teapot in his hand, and the steel hammers made a crisp sound in the teapot.Damn, I ran to the door of the shroud shop to ask for food, the most important thing this old guy thinks about is that I'm sad now, he did this, my heart inexplicably rose a little anger, and I had the urge to beat people."
Get out" I resisted the urge to punch someone, clenched my fists, and yelled at him with red eyes.The sloppy old man didn't care, grinned at me, showed a row of yellow big teeth, and said in a hoarse voice: "Little brother, it's a hot day, don't be so angry."
It's just a good deed, old man, my business is not good today, and I haven't made up enough money for food, you see" I really want to punch him in the face, but looking at his old appearance, I'm really worried that I will kill him with a punch.I reached into my pocket, took out a few steel hammers, smashed them directly on his body, and shouted: "Get out, don't bother me" The sloppy old man smiled again, bent down to pick up a few steel hammers on the ground, put them in his broken tea jar, looked at me, grinned and said: "Little brother, thank you" After speaking, the sloppy old man left step by step.Being by him like this, the despair and sadness in my heart decreased a little, and my stomach made a protest sound.Although I don't have much of an appetite right now, I still went to eat a bite to eat at the food stall not far from the shroud shop.In the afternoon, I fell asleep by the glass counter in the shroud shop, and I didn't sleep all night last night, and I was really tired and couldn't stand it.By the time I woke up, the sun had already set, and the street in front of the shroud shop was a relatively remote street in the town, and pedestrians were sparse.Looking at the hazy night outside, I suddenly remembered my grandfather's explanation before leaving, and hurriedly ran to the corner of the store, rummaging through a pile of bamboo strips, semi-finished paper figures and paper horses.After searching for a while, I finally found the yellow lantern that my grandfather said.This lantern is a bit weird, it's small, only the size of a human head.The outer layer was not paper or cloth or anything like that, it was a little smooth, like some kind of thin leather.In the middle of the lantern, there is a small white candle with the length of a finger.When Grandpa left, he only ordered the lantern to be hung on the door frame at night, but he did not tell whether to light the candle in the lantern.I didn't think too much about it, since there is a candle in this lantern, it must be lit Ah I took out the lighter, and directly lit the small candle in the yellow lantern, and was about to hang it on the door frame, when my whole body trembled suddenly, my eyes widened and looked at the candle in the lantern, and my heart almost stopped.When the candle inside the yellow lantern was lit, it emitted a faint smell of burning, like the smell of rotten leather after it was lit, a little pungent.That's not the point, the point is that the flame of this candle is not a normal orange-yellow, but a little faint green.This kind of firelight does not give people the slightest warmth, but has an eerie feeling.The wax dripping from the candle is more like some kind of liquid, pale yellow.This made me can't help but think of the corpse oil that Li Hu collected when he roasted the chin of the female corpse with incense before, thinking of this, I couldn't help but gasp, and the corners of my eyes twitched as I looked at the small candle in the yellow lantern.This thing must be made of corpse oil
