Lao Ge opened the door in his pajamas, his clothes and hair were messy, and he said in a panic: "What happened?"


    The door was half-closed, and Lao Ge stood in front of me. Although he looked nervous, he obviously didn''t intend to let me in. I cried: "Just now I dreamed of a man holding Big Brother Baby... Why does Big Brother Baby always pester me? What happened to the eight-month-old child who died? Lao Ge, is there something you didn''t tell me? I have lived in the heavy area for seven years without a carving knife, and no ghosts came to my door. But since that day, strange things have happened one after another. Lao Ge, I''m scared."


    As I said this, I couldn''t bear it anymore and started crying. Lao Ge frowned and asked me if I had taken off the carving knife. I shook my head and said absolutely not. When Lao Ge heard it, he touched my head: "Maybe you witnessed what happened to Old Chen with your own eyes, so you think about it every day. Girl, you should let it go."


    I said I was so anxious that I sucked my teeth: "It''s really pestering me."


    Lao Ge was puzzled: "How can you be so sure?"


    I pinched my fingers and gritted my teeth to tell the whole story of encountering the driving ghost and my second uncle on the way to escape from the heavy area. Lao Ge was a little sleepy at first, but his face was ashen, his eyes were red, and his lips were shaking and he couldn''t speak: "Did you drink the water from your second uncle''s house? I ask you, did you talk to your second uncle?"


    I nodded: "I did, and then I only saw the coffin and the baby brother in the coffin. I was scared and ran out without paying attention to what was behind me."


    "It''s over!" Lao Ge''s face sank, "It''s bad."


    Lao Ge slammed the door shut, and then there was a rustling sound in the room. When Lao Ge came out again, he had taken a suitcase and was dressed neatly: "Xiao Xi, you come with me now, we''re going back to the heavy area."


    I shook my head and stepped back. Lao Ge''s expression was too serious. I A little scared: "My grandfather won''t let me go back. Before he sent me out, he told me never to go back again."


    After hearing what I said, Lao Ge threw his luggage on the ground like crazy: "You are obedient now. Lao Chen asked you not to come back. Lao Chen also asked you to find me and asked me to find your second uncle. Why didn''t you listen? The reason why I hid your second uncle''s whereabouts was because he died a few days ago. Lao Chen probably didn''t know it!"


    I was completely stunned. Lao Ge''s face turned red. He was nearly sixty years old and actually shed tears: "Why don''t you believe me, girl? Lao Chen asked you to come to me, but you still dare to hide your second uncle''s affairs. I don''t know how your second uncle and the big brother of the baby got in touch. You drank the ghost water in the haunted house. If it doesn''t bother you, who else can it bother? You are now equivalent to a ghost putting a locator on your body. If you want to find you, you can find you. Your grandfather sent you out with great difficulty and lost his life..."


    I don''t have I couldn''t help shaking, listening to Lao Ge''s trembling voice, I couldn''t help but comfort him: "I''ll go with you, don''t cry." Lao Ge wiped his tears, squatted down to pick up the suitcase, took me out with one hand, and drove to City B overnight. He was familiar with the roads in the heavy area. It can be seen that he should have been to the heavy area more than once, but I have never seen him since I was a child. Lao Ge ignored me and just drove. When he drove to the intersection, Lao Ge stopped the car. I glanced at the roadside and saw that the gray-robed old man was still there, but the little boy was gone. I explained the situation to Lao Ge and took a thousand yuan to the gray-robed old man. The gray-robed old man had no beard, a round face, but high cheekbones, and was very thin. He put a stool and a stall on the roadside with a pair of black sunglasses. There was no sign, but he looked like the fortune teller my grandfather had told me about. I just put the money on the table: "Old man, thank you for your money, I''m here to pay it back. "


    The gray-robed old man''s head moved slightly, and he slowly raised his hand. The wrinkles on his hand were different from those on his face. It was very delicate, like the hands of a woman in her twenties, but the nails were thick and yellow. He trembled and reached for his eyes and took them off.


    A pair of black holes came into view, and I took a step back imperceptibly. This gray-robed old man actually had no eyes!


    "The bright pearl is covered with dust..." The gray-robed old man pointed his black holes at me, and his voice was long, "Turn into the underworld, and turn into the ups and downs..."


    "Xiao Xi!" Lao Ge urged me over there, very anxious.


    The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.


    I responded repeatedly, and I could only thank him again without caring about the old man and ran towards Lao Ge, but ''The bright pearl is covered with dust, turned into the underworld, and turned into the ups and downs.'' This sentence I heard twice was deeply imprinted in my heart. The old man had no eyes, but he said the same sentence to me twice...


    "Follow me, hold the carving knife in your hand and don''t look left and right. "Lao Ge took my hand when he saw me coming back.


    I nodded, took a breath and held the carving knife in my hand. I saw Lao Ge took out a stack of yellow money from the suitcase, squatted on the ground with a match to light the yellow money, muttering something in his mouth. The fire was erratic with the wind, but the yellow money did not move at all. Suddenly, the fire swelled, and the half-burned yellow money turned into ashes quickly.


    Lao Ge smiled and stood up, bowed to the intersection leading to the heavy area: "If you take my money, you can''t make things difficult for my people."


    My back tightened, and my heart was pounding. Lao Ge kicked the ashes of the yellow money and pulled me to the heavy area. The river was curved. After walking less than a hundred meters, I saw the river bank. The river reflected the moonlight and sparkled. Lao Ge''s hands were sweating: "Xiao Xi, do you remember where the wooden house is?"


    I pointed to the front right: "Over there."


    Lao Ge led me all the way, and I couldn''t help asking Lao Ge: "Who took the money just now? "


    "Unjustly killed ghosts, such as the driver who fell into the water that day, and the people who died here, turned into ghosts." Lao Ge''s voice was very soft, but it hit me hard.


    After walking for half an hour, we finally arrived at the wooden house. Lao Ge said that the last time he came here was three years ago, and there was no wooden house at that time. He pushed the door, and the wooden door creaked open, and the room was dark.


    Lao Ge rubbed a match, and there was a faint light. The door creaked again. I subconsciously looked back and saw that the door had been closed. There was a human head hanging on the door, and blood and tears were dripping from the eyes, dripping on the ground.


    "Ah!" I threw myself on Lao Ge and pointed to the door, "Human...human head!"


    "...No?" Lao Ge patted my head, "Girl, don''t be afraid. "


    I didn''t dare to look up, so I could only catch him. Lao Ge simply picked me up and lit a match to light the candlestick on the table. It suddenly became brighter. I felt the light and opened my eyes. It was still the familiar living room, sofa, table, candlestick and old newspapers I threw on the ground. Even the position of the mosaic was exactly the same. I mustered up the courage to look at the door again, but the head was gone. I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it might be an illusion. Lao Ge put me down and opened the suitcase. I could see clearly that there were yellow paper, talismans, small tripods, small bells, small flags, and small turtle lids.


    I was curious about how Lao Ge, a businessman, could have so many Strange things, and my grandfather had been preaching to me since I was a child that I should kill ghosts when I saw them and kill gods when I saw them. I should not believe in ghosts and gods, but in the end he actually gave me a carving knife that could drive away ghosts. I was full of doubts but didn''t say them out loud. Although I was young, I knew that now was not the time to talk about these things.


    Lao Ge first took out the turtle''s shell. The turtle''s carapace was raised like the sky, and its plastron was flat. He then took out three ancient copper coins from the corner of the suitcase, put them in the turtle shell and swung them back and forth, then blew on the turtle shell and threw them to the ground. The three copper coins fell to the ground with a sound, and stood upright without falling down. Lao Ge frowned and shouted, "Oh no, such a strong evil spirit! "


    Lao Ge took the carving knife from me and took my hand, holding a tortoise shell and walked towards the room of my second uncle. I secretly said that it was really strange that a tortoise shell could tell that this room was dangerous. I was about to remind him that there was a coffin in this room, but Lao Ge glared at me and told me to shut up. I pushed the door open with all my strength, and saw that there was still a coffin in the room with candles still on, but the photo of my second uncle between the two candlesticks was gone. Lao Ge took me to the coffin, and I could feel his hand tightening around me. I stood on tiptoe. Looking inside the coffin, I saw my second uncle lying in the coffin with his eyes closed, holding a lying baby brother in his arms, and a black-and-white photo of himself on his chest. In the photo, my second uncle stared with a weird smile on his lips, which made people''s scalps numb.


    Suddenly, Lao Ge gently placed the turtle cover on my second uncle''s forehead, and instantly a baby''s cry resounded throughout the wooden house. The sound came from the baby brother in my second uncle''s arms. I wanted to run, but Lao Ge held me tightly: "You can''t run, you will die if you go out, Xiaoxi, do you believe Lao Ge? "


    "Squeak..." The door suddenly closed while Lao Ge was talking. I was sweating all over and nodded quickly. What else could I do? If I didn''t trust Lao Ge now, I would be dead.


    Lao Ge''s face darkened, and the finger that was pointed at me with the carving knife slipped and squeezed out blood. Then he took my hand and picked up the tortoise shell while dripping it on my second uncle''s forehead. A trace of blood seeped into my second uncle''s forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye. My second uncle sat up suddenly, and the photo was buckled on his legs. The eldest brother moved and the crying stopped abruptly.


    It actually worked! Before I could be happy, Lao Ge pulled me up and ran out the door. He opened the door and ran to the suitcase, and took out a talisman, a three-inch wide and nine-inch long ghost painting talisman. Then there was a clicking sound from Second Uncle''s room. I turned around and saw Second Uncle holding the baby brother out. Lao Ge rushed over with a carving knife in one hand and a talisman in the other, and quickly chanted something in his mouth. A talisman was placed on Second Uncle''s forehead. Snap, the baby brother fell to the ground and broke into two pieces, and Second Uncle looked at Lao Ge with a fierce look in his eyes, but he couldn''t move at all.
