C4 Cold behind ear without turning back
I felt a little bit guilty. I looked at the old Elementary Scholar for a long time, but he gave me a look that I had no right to discuss and urged me to hurry up. Otherwise, the situation would become even more frightening at night.
I didn't dare to hesitate any longer. I took Mi and left with the old village. The old Elementary Scholar was still giving instructions that no matter who it was, if they were to appear before me during the turn, they should be ignored. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire!
Stunned, I walked on, through the old woods at the back of the house, and through the old village of rotten wood until I came to some old trees halfway up the hill.
Under the trees, it was dark and gloomy. The sunlight couldn't penetrate any of the trees, and under the trees, there were two piles of grass growing on top of the graves. I felt a chill behind my back and hesitated as I stood in the forest.
It's not that I'm cowardly, there's a lot more about my grandparents.
Why did my grandparents have descendants, but the weeds around the grave and the grave had grown so long that they didn't even have a way out? This is because my uncles and the others don't dare to take care of it, and even more so for us relatives!
I remember one New Year's Day, when my uncle came to our house to rest, he came here in the evening with a candle to light the lamp, but he didn't come back when it was dark, and when we found him here, he was unconscious in front of the grave, his mouth full of wax that had been nibbled off from the candle.
My father carried his uncle on his back and ran down the mountain, only to find that his uncle, who was as thin as a twig and not even a hundred and ten pounds of weight, was unable to carry him down the mountain smoothly. After the incident, my father said, "When I was carrying him, it was very light, but it became heavier and heavier.
It was true that I had come with him at the time, and I had witnessed the sight of him gritting his teeth and unable to lift his legs.
It was lucky that the old scholar had come to meet us with a tile, placed it in front of my grandparents' grave, and with his mahogany sword, knocked on the plain tile a dozen times before shattering it, and then my father was able to walk away, carrying my uncle on his back.
You know, this tile, even a child's light step can crush it, that time we were all scared. Later on, the old scholar said that my uncle had swallowed the incense. This was the reason why my grandfather and grandmother died so viciously.
Others say it was the result of my uncle's unfilial act.
In any case, since then, no one dared to come to this area to chop firewood. As time passed, this area became a dangerous and desolate land. So when I heard that the old Elementary Scholar wanted me to come here to sleep at night, it was as if I had eaten a toad.
The more he looked at the graves, the more scared he felt. The two graves were very tall and wide, they looked like two terrifying crouching tigers, and they were even more terrifying compared to the darkness. The more I read, the more I didn't dare to go over!
Putting aside the threat that the two piles of graves posed to me, just standing there alone on that desolate old mountain made me feel a chill in my back and a chill in my heart. However, when I thought back to last night when that woman entered my room, I instantly felt that this place was really damn harmonious. Gritting my teeth, I walked to the shade of the tree and stood in front of my grandparents' grave.
Trembling a little, I kowtowed to the two graves and said shakily, "Grandpa, grandma. Your grandson has come to visit you two elders, you two, you must not scare him! "
After saying that, I gathered all my attention to pay attention to what was happening around us. It was still quiet, not even the sound of the wind could be heard, and as I looked around, apart from the dense cluster of old trees, there was nothing else, so I breathed a sigh of relief. I lit up six sticks of incense and, as the old scholar had instructed, three of them were placed in the middle of the grave.
I didn't want to stay here for more than a second, but I had to listen to the Elementary Scholar's instructions. After inserting the piece of rice, I didn't dare to rest and took out the kilogram of rice and started circling around.
He sprinkled a handful of water between the two graves as he started, then walked over to where his grandfather's grave was.
When I got to my grandfather's grave, I said nervously, "Excuse me, Grandfather." After saying that, he walked towards his grandmother's grave. When he arrived, he said the same thing to his grandmother's grave. When he turned around, he sprinkled another handful of rice on the ground.
The first two laps didn't feel anything, but just as I was about to take the third laps, the problem suddenly surfaced. My feet grew heavier and heavier, and I discovered a very horrifying situation.
His heart instantly turned cold. What was going on? I didn't burn the incense just now. How did I burn it in the blink of an eye? Just when I was in a daze, I suddenly felt that my vision had blurred and a double shadow appeared before my eyes!
The old Elementary Scholar said that no matter what happens, he must not stop. Furthermore, he specially instructed me to leave no matter how heavy my feet were. The old Elementary Scholar had already predicted that something like this would happen, and I was suddenly enlightened.
With that in mind, I no longer cared about my eyes and the weight of my feet. I immediately decided to ignore the fact that the sweet fragrance had burned out in an instant. I sprinkled three handfuls of rice in a row, making my eyes a little better, but my feet were still abnormally heavy, as if someone was crawling behind me and dragging my feet with both hands.
Beads of sweat immediately dripped down the bridge of my nose. At this moment, I knew that I had caused a disaster and that I shouldn't have been distracted earlier, but I didn't dare imagine what kind of consequences this distraction would bring to me. I could only force myself to walk forward as more and more rice splattered onto the ground.
I had to grit my teeth almost once before I could lift my foot again, and the veins in my forehead were probably about to burst out, and I felt a chill as I looked at the two quiet graves in front of me. For the first time in my life, I was even more frightened than I was last night when I saw a woman come into my room.
I wanted to turn around and run, but when I thought about it, if it was difficult to even leave, how could I escape? He didn't even know how he would die. He could only grit his teeth and continue onward.
The more I panicked, the more chaotic the movements of my hands became. I accidentally knocked down a few meters under my feet. Suddenly, I felt as though my feet were extremely relaxed, as though there wasn't even a bit of weight left!
I understand now, the old Elementary Scholar must have his reasons for asking me to bring rice here. Back then, he said that there were a lot of dirty things in the mountains, so the dirty things were afraid of rice!
Thinking about this, I no longer dare to be careless. I sprinkle the rice in circles according to the original rhythm, saying that my grandparents have disturbed me and I don't dare to turn back. This is a taboo that the old Elementary Scholar told me to not commit again.
The more I walked, the more relaxed I became. However, I felt a chill behind me. Initially, I didn't pay much attention to it and just kept walking. The old Elementary Scholar had said that he would only return at night, so I didn't dare to be distracted. However, I noticed that the chill behind me seemed to be getting more and more severe!
It was as if the air was slowly decreasing, causing one to unconsciously only sense it when they discovered the cold. My heart started pounding again, and my lips started to tremble, because in the evening, I felt something cool behind my back, and there was a faint 'ha' sound. Is this something behind me, blowing on my neck?!
This is the jungle, the evening is already very dark, at this time, let me a little uncontrollable, heart beating sound can be heard, as the pace slowed down, the cold air around the neck became stronger!
I was so scared that I suddenly quickened my pace. I wanted to run away after this round, but as I sped up my pace, the cold air on my neck instantly disappeared!
I frowned, then stopped, and a sudden chill ran down my back to my neck.
I didn't have time to think. I strode forward, and when I reached my grandmother's grave, I shouted at the top of my lungs to disturb my grandmother, so as to strengthen my courage.
I already have a way to avoid this coldness. I just need to walk faster and it will be fine. It's almost dark, I just need to persevere for a little while. If I run away, then all my efforts will be for naught.
This trick worked. With such a small episode, I was frightened out of my wits. Perhaps there was something behind my back that was following me around. According to the Elementary Scholar, he wanted to blow away the three flames in my body!
At this moment, there was no sound from my surroundings. It was extremely deathly still. My own breathing was considered the loudest sound. Somehow, there was no sound from my surroundings. Instead, I felt even more terrifying and sinister!
Initially, I thought that I would be able to return home safely. I didn't have much rice left and after three laps, I would be able to finish sprinkling the rice before returning home.
But who would have thought, when I just turned in the second circle, a figure suddenly jumped out of the thorn forest in front of me, causing my heart to almost explode. That person immediately followed and said: "Yang Yu, stop turning, they will harm you — — Yu, stop turning, they will harm you — — — Yang — —"
I saw him clearly. Isn't he our village's Egg Chen? Even Chen Erzi's son, a bachelor in his thirties, with some problems in his brain, dared to come out to scare me!
