Chapter 33 Burning the Soul and Lighting the Lamp

Seeing this piece of money, I was a little stunned, not knowing when it stepped on it.

The paper money here is different from ours. Our house has a rough yellow paper, square, and it is printed in three rows with seals, and then three pieces are folded into one piece. It is considered a set. The paper money on my heel is a round one, just like copper coins. But no matter what, this paper money is used by dead people. If you encounter it on the road, it is best to bypass it. This is a taboo, so that the dead people will think that you have taken away its money and will come to pester you at that time.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. That ghost is not as particular as humans. It would be really bad to get involved when the time comes.

I don’t know why it is so unlucky in the wilderness. I took it carefully, bowed twice, then opened the door and threw the paper money out. A cold wind blew, and the paper money flew away swayingly, which made me fascinated.

There was something happening here. The old lady in the inner room asked what was wrong. I was afraid that people would be unlucky and didn't dare to tell the truth. I just said that the wind was a bit strong, so I locked the door better.

There was no sound inside, so I quickly changed my clothes. Unexpectedly, it was quite fit, as if it was specially customized for me. Dry clothes were naturally much more comfortable than wet clothes. I walked into the inner room with the wet clothes in my arms and saw the old lady sitting on the bed with a swaddle next to her, wrapped tightly. She shook and coaxed her, singing local songs.

I looked at the cradle and didn't dare to look closely. I just smiled beside me and said, "Grandma, where is this?"

The old lady looked at me in surprise, with a strong sense of suspicion in her eyes. After a while, she replied slowly, "Our here is Shennongjia." I nodded and said that I knew this is Shennongjia, but I wanted to know where this place is, where I can go, to a nearby commune, or county town...

She nodded and said, "Oh, that's it. Our place is Xiaguping. The commune will walk more than twenty miles east of the mountain road. As for the big ones, I don't know much about the old woman. Last time I heard from the propaganda cadres, our place was classified as under the management of the Yunyang Regional Revolutionary Committee."

After she said this, I felt relieved. I was still twenty miles away. When I arrived at the commune, I would like to tell you the situation. At that time, there will naturally be a family member who will take me back. I felt less worried, but the fatigue surged in my heart. I greeted the old lady for a few words. When she saw me so sleepy, she pointed to a bed on the other side and said to me: "My son and daughter-in-law, they went to build a reservoir. There is an empty bed here. I see you are so tired and it is not easy to hurry. If you don't dislike it, take a break at my house first. In the morning, eat something before you get on the road..."

I don’t know if it’s too sleepy, but my thoughts are a little erratic. When I heard the old lady’s enthusiasm, I couldn’t help but feel warm in my heart. I bowed to her and said, “Grandma, thank you. I’ll lie for a while and leave as soon as the sky is dawn.”

The old lady waved her hand and smiled kindly: "Don't be polite. When you go out, there is nothing to pay attention to. If you are sleepy, just go to bed. It's convenient to be with others and yourself. Hang up the wet clothes and it will almost dry at dawn. I'll coax the child, and you'll be busy..."

The old lady said casually, and I twisted the wet clothes and hung them on the hemp rope in the room. After finishing my work, I did not greet the old lady anymore, but lay on the bed next to me and slept with her clothes. The old lady was very considerate. After I lay down, she turned off the light and gently coaxed the child to sleep.

He said he was coaxing the child, but when I entered the room, the child didn't cry. He was so obedient that he had a dummy wrapped in the cradle.

After running around and struggling, I was exhausted and lying on the bed, and I became drowsy. But I don’t know what happened. Whenever I was about to close my eyes, the money I had just blown away by the wind appeared in my mind, swaying and floating in the darkness. I didn’t care at first, but just hugged my arms and felt it became colder and colder. After a while, I felt that I might be too tired and restless, so I recited the spell of calming my heart in my mind, which smoothed my little heart that was constantly beating a little.

After a while, when I was sleepy, I didn't care much about it, stretched my waist and fell asleep.

Logically, I was tired and closed, and it should be during the day. However, for some reason, I always had various nightmares, tossing and turning, sweating, breathing rapidly, and always restless. I was so confused. I don’t know how long after, I felt cold all over. I subconsciously sat up, opened my eyes, and saw the old lady standing at my bedside in the dark, looking at me seriously.

I was shocked by the nightmare, my heart thumped. After a while, I came to my senses and asked her, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

The old lady did not reply, but looked at me seriously. I was frizzy when I was seen, and suddenly I felt chill all over. The originally closed hut became extremely spacious and wind was everywhere. Before I could look around, I suddenly saw the old lady in front of me. Her wrinkled old face began to become distorted, and two lines of blood-colored tears flowed out of her eyes.

For no reason, two lines of blood and tears suddenly flowed out. The scene was simply a mess. I didn't know what happened. I screamed and wanted to jump out of the bed, but I found that I couldn't move at all.

The white long gown that the old lady had changed into me tied me tightly to the bed, making me unable to move at all. No matter how hard I used it, it was useless except for the squeaking feet of the bed.

I must be panicked and had no idea at all. I could only watch the old lady slowly walk to me, and when I squatted, the numb face came to me, staring at me with my eyes as if it could be protruded. But when we were facing each other, I couldn't feel the exhalation or the temperature.

After a while, when I thought I was about to be scared, a strange smile appeared on the old lady's face, and then she suddenly spoke: "Do you know where my son and daughter-in-law have gone?"

I shook my head desperately and cried, "I don't know, I don't know - grandma, please let me go. I haven't been home for a long time. I miss my father, my mother and my sister..."

"Let you go? Then who will let us go?" said the old lady quietly: "My son and daughter-in-law, at a young age, were pulled to repair the reservoir by them. As a result, they touched the Prince of Water. The squib was blown up. Both of them were crushed into rocks, crushed to pieces, and even the body could not be found. I have three sons, and the eldest son was dragged to beat the Japanese, but never came back. The second son was pulled to Taiwan and ran to Taiwan. The man was not dead. Our family turned into a slaughter of the Democratic Party. The third son died again, and he didn't even come back... He couldn't come back, so I had to ignite your soul and lead him to come. Only in this way can our family go on the road together..."

A psychopath!

I suddenly felt anger surged into my heart, and I was so angry that I cursed: "Get out, I want to exchange your Erdan brother's life for your deceased son? No way! If you have a son, do I have no parents? You are such a big man, just go on the road. Are you afraid of being alone?"

While cursing, I twisted my body desperately. The old lady's face became more and more terrifying. Her eyes were protruding and her teeth were white. She reached out to pinch my neck and shouted sternly: "If I say yes, kill you, I will ignite your soul, and my son can go home!"

When I was pinched on my neck, I felt dizzy and cold all over. The breath was less than a little. Just when I thought I was about to die, a golden light burst out from my arms.
