C6 Hanged ghost
My neck was hanging from the noose, and my body was swaying in the air. My four limbs were naturally hanging by my sides, and I didn't feel any pain at all. Instead, I felt like I was rippling with happiness.
Looking at the girl standing in front of me, a smile appeared on my face. I am so blessed. I am so blessed …
Right at this moment, the door seemed to have opened, and the girl in front of me had gone somewhere. I wanted to do my best to search for her, but I couldn't find her, no matter what I tried. Suddenly, that indescribable happiness disappeared without a trace, replaced by an unbearable pain in my lungs that seemed like it was about to explode.
When I opened my eyes again, my grandfather and grandmother were standing by the bed, looking at me. When I woke up, they quickly asked, "You've finally recovered. Would you like some water? "
I shook my head at them. I wasn't in the mood to eat or drink, I was still thinking about the girl. Where was she? Weren't they playing the game together just now? Have a good time.
I looked around and didn't know where I was. All I could think of was that girl, that voice, that smile. I asked Grandma where that girl had gone.
"What girl?" Do you know what you did? " "Yes," my grandmother replied.
What did he do? My mind was blank, but for the moment I didn't want to know what I had done. I just wanted to find the girl, and when I thought of that, I couldn't help but feel a fire burning in my heart. Where did you hide her? Where did you hide it? "
They didn't know what I was talking about, and they didn't know why I was angry.
When the two of them didn't answer, I got even angrier. I immediately jumped off the bed and kicked the table beside me, but I still couldn't calm my anger. I clenched my fists and was about to hit the two of them.
Just then, Cong walked in with a man in a white coat. Seeing that I was about to punch the two elders, he immediately rushed over and held me down. I struggled with all my might, but the two of them were too strong for me to break free.
"I've checked. There's nothing wrong with his body. Maybe it's a mental problem. Let him rest well. I'll be going back first." the man in the white coat said to my grandparents.
My grandma was just scared and she quickly said to A-Cong, "Cong, is your brother after something? "Go to the next village and get an old gentleman named Li. Tell him to come and see what's going on."
After some time, I felt that someone was helping me sit up. When I opened my eyes, I saw my grandmother holding a bowl of water to my mouth. When I woke up, she said, "Here, drink this bowl of water."
"Nope." I waved my hand and said.
At this time, an unfamiliar voice sounded from the side, "Drink it for him."
Before I could even react, the bowl beside me was in my mouth and I gulped it down.
As I was unable to react in time, the water ran down my mouth into my stomach, and for some reason the bowl of water smelled sweet and bitter.
Not long after I finished drinking, my stomach felt like it was being churned inside out. I was lying on the bed retching, but nothing came out. A-Cong walked over and patted my back. Only then did I feel a lot more at ease.
When I came back to my senses, I discovered that there was an extra stranger in the room. He was dressed strangely, could this be the Daoist Robe of legends?
Looking up, this old man had a kind face and was probably in his sixties or seventies.
I pointed at the old man and asked my grandmother, "Who is this old man?"
At the side, my grandfather said, "He's your Grandpa Li. I mentioned him in the stories I told you when you were young."
This reminds me of the story my grandfather told me a long time ago. Is this Mr. Feng Shui? I looked at him carefully.
When I looked at him, Mr. Li asked, "Do you remember what you did?
What did I do? His consciousness was very blurry, and he had a slight impression of it, but he could not recall what it was.
At this time, A-Cong said, "If we hadn't gone in time, you would have become Hanged Ghost now."
Hearing A-Cong's words, I suddenly recalled what had just happened. My back was drenched in cold sweat. That girl wanted me to smash my head against a tree and even wanted me to hang myself …
"You've been bewitched. Hanged Ghost is looking for you to be his substitute." Mr. Li said from the side.
A substitute? I was extremely scared and hurriedly asked Mr. Li, "Then …" "Then what should I do?"
"Don't be too afraid. I drew a paper talisman and lit it for you to drink. That Hanged Ghost won't be able to confuse you anymore. I'll prepare something for you. Whether or not you can survive tonight will depend on your luck."
Everything had been prepared. A small mirror, a rooster with its mouth wrapped in duct tape, and a messy paper charm.
Having explained everything, Mr. Li went back to the village, leaving the rest up to me.
When night fell outside the window, I was already lying on the bed with the things I had prepared. Today, I was the only one in the room, looking extremely eerie.
According to Mr. Li's instructions, I hid the rooster under the bed with its mouth wrapped around its mouth. In my hand was the small mirror, and in my pocket were the previously drawn paper talismans.
The first half of the night I was too nervous to sleep, hoping she would come early and not want her to come. It wasn't until the latter half of the night that I finally couldn't take it anymore and fell asleep in a daze.
"Creak! Creak!" Following the sound of the door opening, I immediately became spirited. My back was covered in a layer of cold sweat and even my breathing became tense.
I was facing the wall with my back to the door. As the door opened, a gust of cold wind blew in, causing the temperature in the room to drop a lot. I didn't know if it was due to the psychological effects, but I still felt very cold.
Although there were no footsteps, I could feel something slowly approaching me from behind. At this moment, all I could remember was the words that Mr. Li had said: I can't look at her face to face.
I felt as if someone were blowing a cold breath into my neck, and I couldn't help but shiver.
"Let's play another game." The familiar voice sounded in my ear. I had been waiting for this moment for a long time, even though I was afraid.
I ignored her and slowly raised the small mirror in my hand to look behind me. When I focused my eyes, I almost cried out in fright.
A woman with dishevelled hair and a tongue a foot or so was hanging from the beam. What about that pretty girl? What about the feeling of happiness? They were all lies. They were all lies.
"Come, let's play a game. Look at how happy I am." As the ghost lady spoke, her body continuously swayed in the air.
"Play with you!" I cursed in my heart as I kept thinking back to what Mr. Li had said during the day. Right, ignore her, ignore her, and then rip the tape off the rooster's mouth. Then I would find a way to make the rooster squeal, and the rest would be easy.
I reached out a hand to rip the tape from the rooster's mouth, then pinched its wings hard. Mr. Li said that when the rooster crowed, the Hanged Ghost would be unable to move. Then I took the opportunity to untie the rope from the beam and attached it to the rope with a paper talisman.
He pinched the rooster, but the rooster didn't cry out. He didn't know why, but what was going on? I quickly pinched it twice more, very hard, but it still didn't scream.
Heavens, why isn't this rooster crowing? Fearful, I slapped the rooster again on the head, but the rooster didn't bark, and I stood up and flapped my wings as I ran out the door.
Ahh, my hopes are all gone. To think that this kind of situation would happen in a life or death situation like this. Cold sweat dripped down my forehead little by little.
"If you don't want to play, then I'll play with you."
I was so scared that I didn't dare to move. In the mirror, I could clearly see the ghost of a woman slowly descending from the ceiling. She walked behind me with a rope in her hand.
A pair of shriveled and cracked hands were holding a noose that was slowly tied around my neck...
