Chapter 48
Everyone there seemed to be terrified, even Lu Yao's dad probably didn't expect such a thing!
I only felt that the arm that was gripping my shoulder suddenly exerted force, dragging my body backwards, I didn't stand still for a moment and my body immediately fell backwards!
But there seemed to be no obstruction behind me, I was actually dragged directly by this female ghost and plunged into the mirror!
I panicked and reached out to find a fulcrum to break free, but the mirror was too big and I really had no place to let go.
I heard Lu Yao scream and break free from her father's hands, reaching out to come and pull me, but before she could come to my side, my body went through the mirror in a flash!
It was as if a layer of dust had been placed over my eyes, and I couldn't see things clearly. I rubbed my eyes, and when I opened them again, I sucked in a breath of cold air again; the female ghost from earlier was standing right in front of me, covered in the color of grey and white, clinging to me!
It was only then that I got a good look at her, she was already somewhat older, but there wasn't much that was lurid about her except for her iron gray complexion.
I looked at her face carefully, my brain buzzed and I almost didn't scream.
This female ghost's appearance was surprisingly similar to my mom's by eight points!
Granted, but this female ghost's looks were a bit paler than my mom's.
I stared blankly at her, but she suddenly disappeared. Everything seemed so blurry in this gray world.
I stood still and didn't dare to move, after a short while, a light suddenly appeared behind me. I turned my head to see that a door had opened there, a gap of sunlight shone in, and my surroundings changed immediately.
It was as if I were standing in an old house, a very ordinary bungalow, and even around me, even in front of my eyes, quite a lot of furniture appeared. But everything I saw was still gray, as if I had fallen into an old movie.
Above the front wall, there was a rather festive statue of a god, and on the table by the wall, a dustpan was currently being placed. The female ghost from earlier was sitting on the side, behind her stripping the bean curd inside bit by bit and placing it inside the porcelain bowl at hand.
And behind that open door, another figure suddenly appeared. It was a man about her age. From the moment he appeared, the woman's busy hands stopped, glanced toward him, and asked him why he was looking so sad.
The man walked in without a word and came face to face with me, I was about to dodge, but he passed through me without even looking at me.
I looked closely for a moment and realized that none of these people seemed to be able to see themselves. I can't even touch anything in this room either.
The man walked in, sat next to the woman, silent for a while, suddenly sighed, said the old road family children his mother is also dead …….
The woman was slightly shocked, after a long time to calm down. Sighing, don't be too frustrated, you have advised their family many times, let them move out from there at an early date, but they can't let go of that house, and what can be done.
The man shook his head, said it's not a question of whether to give up or not, to move if his family's current conditions, in addition to sleeping on the street, or where else can go?
The woman did not say anything, pause for a while, and began to dial the hands of the bean curd. Both of them look very bad, the heart seems to have some hang-ups about this. Is sighing when, the man looked up towards the outside, suddenly said, Charlene, that hide there for what?
I was stunned in my heart, this Charlene two words, clearly is my mother's name. I followed the man's gaze and found that a woman a few years younger than me was standing outside the door, probing in.
It was only after being called by the man that she giggled and walked into the house.
I looked at her appearance, the sense of surprise in my heart grew much stronger, looking almost more exactly like my mother, only in age to appear younger.
Just saw her walk in, stood beside the two, said Dad, over there Uncle Lu came to look for you again, my brother in the outside to receive him.
I was puzzled in my heart, if this woman is really my mom, then the man and woman sitting in front of me are my grandparents? I don't know what the hell is going on right now, the scene I'm seeing, could it be something that happened before I was even born? So I'm kind of traveling through? But it's not the same as the situation in the story, my sense of existence is almost a zero now, and the people around me can't empathize with me at all.
I'm not sure of my grandpa and grandma's names because they died before I was born, and after all these years, I don't even remember much about their looks.
The man who appeared to be my grandfather shook his head and let out a long sigh when he heard what my mom said before slowly standing up. Saying, I'll go out and take a look.
But before his words fell, I heard a wailing voice outside the house, rushing in towards this house.
I took a closer look, came three people, the first man into the house on his knees, toward my grandfather constantly kowtow, said Xia, you have mercy to save our Lu family it!
Behind this man, there are two people also followed in, the first age than my mother to some small, slightly fat, I look at it on the happy, this person is my brother-in-law ah, the appearance of the year and now compared to the present is now a tender little flower! But see and he walked into the house with the man, I immediately can not laugh out.
The man's four-sided face, face with sadness, but obviously not as anxious as his father. This man is the young Lu Yao her father! It seems that what this old thing said wasn't all false, our two families did have some dealings at one time.
The man kneeling on the ground constantly kowtowed to my grandfather, grandfather also busy to help him, but no matter how to pull, he just do not get up from the ground, face with a handful of snot and a handful of tears, said, Xia, my family are dying, you see our father and son poor, save us a hand!
When he finished speaking, he pulled his son beside him and made him kneel down like himself. But I could see that although Lu Yao's father didn't dare to disobey, he was more or less reluctant in his heart, but he was just pretending.
Grandpa saw them like this, also no longer reach out to help them, but sat down, said this is difficult to do ah, your family that place, not only the house, even the ground is the same. At first I thought it was just a feng shui problem, but then I wanted to remodel it, and dug towards the ground, and I didn t expect to dig out so many bones, and that piece of the past, I don t know what it was for, it was like a mass grave, the bogey was too heavy, and the people who lived in it sooner or later were dead, which is so easy to solve ……
The man who cried and howled heard my grandfather say so, kneeling and moved forward two steps, reached out to hold my grandfather legs, howling Xia brother, then you can not stand by and watch the brother family so dead ah! I really beg you Xia, the next life as a cow can be horse! At least save my son!
My grandfather's face showed a look of intolerance, looked toward Lu Yao's father, and then sighed, and said well, you go back to get ready, and I'll go on a trip, we'll go look for something, as for whether it's useful or not, I can't give you a guarantee.
As if grasping the straw that saves his life, the man's face was happy, broke into a smile, busy thank you up. After that, he hurriedly pulled his son home to get ready.
Once the two left, my grandmother busy slamming the table, said the old man you have to run somewhere again!
My mom interjected, Dad you're going to the mountains again to look for something right, this go back and forth do not know how long, not to mention how dangerous.
My grandfather stroked the beard under his lips, sighed, said, to be able to save people ah, it is also worth the risk!
This came to my grandmother naturally reluctant, which has for others also put themselves into the reasoning, even scolded a few times, but my grandfather's mind has been determined, said nothing to move, and finally could not, my grandmother even bet on the silence.
Only my brother-in-law stood at the end, rashly said, Dad, you want to go, but also take me with it, also let me open my eyes.
My head glared at him, did not say anything, but my mother looked at him and said, what are you fooling around, dad is going to find the most dangerous thing, this trip out do not know how dangerous, you follow to go is too long to live?
My brother-in-law was unconvinced and said, "Sister, Dad hasn't even said what he's going to look for, so how can you be so sure.
Outside the head sighed, said you want to have half of your sister's wit I do not worry about anything, she is right, this murderous land needs to murderous things pressure. I let the old road to go, because he is the main thing, you do not follow blindly involved.
My brother-in-law is still very afraid of my grandfather, spat out his tongue, and did not say anything.
The matter was finalized, and they set off the next day.
I only felt that the scene in front of me kept changing, as if all these happenings were extracted from my grandmother's memory. The family stood outside the door, bidding farewell to my grandpa and the old man of the Lu family as they left, and my grandma looked so worried that she could hardly even eat for some time afterward. I don't know where Grandpa and the others went, but the scene changed three months later, and the idols on the wall were getting a little worn out. That night, my grandmother was just about to go to sleep when she heard the sound of the door being called.
She went out in a panic and found my grandpa and Old Man Lu standing outside the door, pulling a horse-drawn cart with an unknown object on it, covered with a black cloth, so she couldn't see it clearly.
My grandma lit a lamp and let them into the courtyard. The two of them carefully took down what was on that carriage, and their faces looked very happy.
I originally thought it might be the mirror, but after looking at the shape, something wasn't right.
My grandmother was also very surprised and looked around the thing for a while, asking if this was what was found? What is it?
My grandfather laughed, the road family old man came up, gleefully said, sister-in-law you do not know, my brother Xia that powerful method, what little ghosts see him are hiding away.
I listened to what happened, probably two people to the mountains, looking for a number of places, but there are no clues, and finally my grandfather had a law, let the little ghosts to lead the way, with great difficulty to find an ancient tomb, after a lot of hardship, and finally found this thing out.
They talk very lively, even my brother-in-law and mother also came out to see a moment, my brother-in-law as if listening to mythological stories almost fascinated, but my mother face has no expression, but looks much heavier.
My brother-in-law's hands were quick, and before he could finish, he lifted the black cloth. I took a look and realized it was a slightly tattered coffin. By the light, it looked like it was a dark red color, inside and out.
I don't know if there is any foul smell, but once the black cloth was lifted, several people were busy covering their noses, my mom looked inside, her disgusted expression on her face became even more intense, I heard her humming out a few words from between her noses, and it seemed to be the three words "blood clotting coffin".
