Chapter 3 The Obsession of the Dead Mother
Seeing the strange scene on the street outside the house, Chen Jin swallowed dryly, then quietly retreated to the bed, directly into the worn quilt, and buried his head in the quilt.
"Hu~" "Wang~"
The gusts of cold wind and dog barking outside the house were heard one after another, and Chen Jin, who was hiding in the quilt, was so generous that he didn't dare to say anything.
He wrapped his body tightly and listened quietly to the sound outside the house.
Time passed slowly, and I don’t know how long it took, but Chen Jin, who had not recovered from the serious illness, felt a strong feeling of sleepiness.
Outside the house, apart from the sound of the howling wind, the barking dog suddenly stopped at some point.
"It shouldn't be coming to me. There are so many families in the town, how could they come to me?"
Chen Jin, who was inside the quilt, muttered in his heart. Under the torture of his physical discomfort and deep sleepiness, he fell asleep unconsciously.
This time he fell asleep in a daze and was very unrestrained, because at dawn the next day, he was awakened from a nightmare.
Wuhen woke up from the dream. Chen Jin was sweating coldly after waking up. He had just relieved a little last night, but it worsened a little more at this moment.
"Cough~Cough~"
After leaning a broken pillow against the head of the bed, Chen Jin leaned his body against the bed and coughed a few times, then moved his eyes to the window, staring at the window with his eyes blankly recalling what he saw last night.
If it were the world he had in his previous world, he would have been surprised to see the scene last night, but after he had walked into this world, he did not find it strange about what he saw last night.
Regarding ghosts and monsters, although last night was the first time Chen Jin met in his life, there are some memories of evil spirits in his current body.
Among them, the most profound thing in his mind was the memory of Chen Jin's mother.
This memory happened on the seventh day after his mother passed away.
On that evening, five-year-old Chen Jin dreamed of his deceased mother in his sleep.
In the dream, his mother said she didn't want him to stay alone in the world and wanted to take him away.
Then, the mother and son left the town together and headed to the Xiang River next to the town.
Next, when Chen Jin woke up from his dream, he found himself lying wet by the Xiang River.
Since that day, every year this season, Chen Jin would have the same strange dream. In the dream, his dead mother said that the world is too cold and he wanted to take him to another world.
After four years of avoiding this, in the late autumn of the fifth year, ten-year-old Chen Jin could not avoid the persistence of his deceased mother, and his little life was submerged in the river.
...
Looking through the memories in my mind, just as Chen Jin was fascinated by the thought, a woman screamed in horror from the street outside the house.
The sudden shout was too abrupt, and Chen Jin couldn't help but tremble and came back to his senses.
"It's in broad daylight, what about spring?"
Chen Jin, who came to his senses, cursed himself in his heart and suddenly shouted outside the house, scaring his wife. At the same time, he dragged his body out of bed and walked straight to the window.
When he walked to the window, he reached out and pushed open a small gap with the wooden window, and immediately saw a woman in a blue dress running into a house.
Seeing the woman's embarrassing back, Chen Jin felt something was wrong in his heart, and immediately pushed the wooden window open completely. At this time, he realized that in front of the ancestral hall opposite his home, the ground was covered with bright red blood stains.
In addition to the blood stains, there were also broken dog corpses scattered on the ground.
The torn dog fur, the broken dog legs, etc., as well as a long tongue exposed and the dog head staring at the big dog's eyes were steadily placed at the closed door of the ancestral hall.
Although it was just a dog, seeing such a bloody scene, coupled with a faint morning breeze that blew the bloody smell on the road, Chen Jin couldn't help feeling nauseous and nauseous.
If someone else saw this scene, he would definitely think it was done by a guy who was ill. However, after seeing the tragic death of the dog, Chen Jin immediately thought of what he saw last night.
"It's broken, this town is in trouble. If I don't leave here, I'm afraid my fate will be the same as this poor dog."
Looking at the dog corpse on the road, Chen Jin took a few steps back and sat on a wooden bench in the room, and began to think about what to do next.
Since he came to this world a few days ago, he has been sick.
The disease had improved a little yesterday, but after seeing the ghosts and monsters last night, his disease became worse today.
I think he is a ten-year-old child who is still sick and has always been covered with poor food. Therefore, after this disease, his health is worse than that of ordinary children.
So the current situation is that it is impossible for him to leave this Weinan Town. With his current physical condition, he may die of illness and starvation on the way out of the town.
But if I don’t leave here, maybe the evil spirit I saw last night will come to take my life today.
The current situation is that if you leave this town, you may be at a loss when you go farther, but the possibility of this may be very small.
If you don’t leave, continue to stay in the town. Perhaps the evil spirits and fierce ghosts I saw last night have already left?
Everything has two sides, and leaving or staying will create two possibilities. Even if you plan to the worst, it is better to die of peace than to die of exhaustion.
After a little tangled in his mind, he finally decided to stay.
However, he had to find a way to tell the people in the town what he saw last night, and it would be best to spread it to the mayor's ears and make him believe it.
Only in this way may the town spend some money to invite Taoist priests or mages to exorcise evil spirits. Then even if the evil spirits I saw last night were still in the town, this matter would not be so dangerous.
Even if the evil spirits leave and the invited Taoist and magical streams are unable to defeat the evil things, they can be dragged for at least one night.
When it comes tomorrow, we can make a long-term plan to stay or leave.
Thinking of this, Chen Jin smiled unconsciously, because after he finished thinking about it, he suddenly realized that the people in the town treated themselves as madmen. It would be a very big problem to tell what they saw last night and make the people in the town believe it.
Thinking of this floor, he leaned on the wooden table with a puzzled look on his face and thought of a solution.
However, at this moment, a man suddenly appeared in front of his window and started to cough dryly.
He was shocked by the woman's shout just now. Before Chen Jin could recover, he saw the bloody dead dog. In a state of fear, he was frightened by the person who suddenly appeared in front of the window, which made him angry.
