" Village chief, what's going on?" I asked with a red undergarment in my hand. The village chief didn't answer my question, and the villagers all looked at me and second brother. I suddenly felt so scared. Looking at this group of abnormal people, I was really afraid that they would do something unbelievable again. Then, when Second Brother and I die, we won't know why we died.、
The second brother had never seen such a strange thing before. He shouted at the village chief,"Village Chief! What was going on?
"If you don't explain the origin of this thing today, we won't take it even if you kill us." The village chief sighed and said,"Sigh, in that case, come in. I'll tell you about this. I hope you can take this unlucky thing and leave after hearing it."
Second Brother and I followed the village chief to a small house. When the villagers around us saw the village chief bring me into the house, they went to do their own things.
After entering, I looked around the house and felt that the house was built in such a strange way. First of all, the height of this house is a problem. Usually, a house in the countryside should be as tall as two people. However, this house is too short. Second Brother and I had to touch our waists to enter. It was estimated to be about the height of a person. The furnishings in the room simply could not be considered with ordinary people's thinking.
There was a table at the front of the room with a memorial tablet on it. What was worshipped was not a god, but a person's memorial tablet. There was a cushion in front of the table, probably because someone often paid their respects. There was a door on the right side. After entering the door, it was the brick bed in the countryside. However, there was only half of the brick bed. One could still see the traces left behind after the other half was removed. On the opposite wall hung a gray photo of an old woman. There was actually a photo in this house. But he knew that Lakshmi Village didn't even have electricity. Similarly, this photo was also a tribute. Because there was an incense burner in front of the photo, which was used to worship.
After the village chief brought us in, he sat on the brick bed. He lit up his pipe of tobacco. Then he started talking to us while smoking.
" It's not that I want to chase you away. You've seen the strangeness of this house, right? Ever since Old Lady Liu went crazy, no one has come into this house. Old Lady Liu has been living in this house since she was alive," the village chief said and coughed dryly.
I stood there and looked at the special features of the house. I noticed the photo hanging on the wall again. I took a closer look and felt that the person in the photo looked so familiar. The more I looked, the more I wondered how I knew this old woman. Suddenly, a picture appeared in my mind. That's right! Isn't this the old lady who sold me that book when I first came to Lakshmi Village?
Thinking of this, my scalp went numb. The villagers all said that this old lady was crazy, but when she spoke to me that day, she was clearly a normal person.
Before the village chief could finish coughing, I walked to the village chief and asked,"Village chief, are you saying that this is Old Mrs. Liu?”I pointed at the picture on the wall.、
" Yes, this is Old Mrs. Liu. After her son died, she went crazy. After the villagers found out that she went crazy, no one came to her house anymore," the village chief sighed.
"Village chief, when I first came to this village, this old lady even sold me a book. She didn't talk to me like a lunatic at all.”I said.
After listening to this sentence, the village chief's reaction was even more unbearable for me. The village chief suddenly stood up and walked to me with his eyes wide open. Did you see this old lady the last time you were here? She even sold you something?"
I didn't know what to say when I saw the village chief's surprised expression. Second Brother had been checking the house from the side. Seeing the village chief's reaction at this time, he said," The last time I came, this old woman was selling a notebook for a little pleasure.”
After hearing this, the village chief's reaction was even more surprising. His entire body started to tremble, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground as he kept muttering " Impossible, impossible ".
"Let's go, let's go out and talk. No one is to come to this house again.”The village walked out in big strides. They didn't even pick up the cigarettes that had fallen on the ground and walked straight out.
Second Brother and I saw that the village chief was already like this, so we followed him out. We followed the village chief for a long distance and seemed to have arrived at the village chief's house. The village chief had just returned home when he sat down on the ground. At this time, he saw that the village chief's head was covered in sweat. We were also confused and followed in
"The last time you came, that was when Old Lady Liu was already dead. It's just that no one had been to her house, so no one knew that she had died long ago. A few nights ago, the dogs in the village barked loudly. Later, all the dogs in the village ran to Mrs. Liu's house. No one knew what happened, so they followed the dogs to Mrs. Liu's house. Only then did they find out that Boss Liu was dead. This Old Lady Liu didn't die at any time. When we went there, the Old Lady Liu we saw was no older than a four or five-year-old child. Her body had shrunk.”When the village chief said this, he seemed to be recalling how Old Lady Liu looked when she died. He couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead.
When Second Brother and I heard this, we also felt a lingering fear. According to the village chief, that Old Lady Liu is already dead. Then who was the old lady who sold us the notebook last time we came? Could it be a ghost? But it was daytime when we came here. Who would believe that we met a ghost in broad daylight?
I carefully recalled the old woman from back then. There were so many people surrounding us to sell things, but when did this old lady squeeze into my side? Besides, the villagers would definitely recognize Granny Liu. If Granny Liu really appeared at that time, there was no reason for the villagers to not see her, nor was there any reason for them to let a lunatic cause trouble.
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became. Ever since I bought that book, I've been obsessed with it. I read it every day and I want to read it even when I sleep at night.
Oh right, that notebook. Perhaps he could find something from that notebook. Thinking of this, I reached into my pocket. I usually put it in my pocket after reading it. However, my pocket was empty. At this moment, I remembered that when Second Brother went to the shop, I casually threw the notebook on the counter.
The village chief continued,"When the villagers saw Old Lady Liu like this, they were also frightened. However, she was already dead, so she had to rest in peace. The villagers changed Old Lady Liu into new clothes and pants. When she was changing her clothes, she found this undergarment on Old Lady Liu. The villagers were also curious. She was already so old, yet she still wore a red undergarment. However, the strange thing was that after the dudou was taken off, it was impossible for Old Lady Liu to put it on. After washing Old Lady Liu's body, they wanted to put the undergarment on Old Lady Liu again, but no matter what they did, they could not put it on.”
The village chief was much calmer now, so he continued,"The villagers thought that Old Lady Liu didn't want to wear this thing after she died, so she didn't wear it anymore. After cleaning up Old Lady Liu, he placed her in the coffin. Old Lady Liu had no children, but this dead person had to keep vigil for seven days. Who gave this old prefect Liu the spirit for seven days? The villagers felt that this old lady was quite pitiful for her entire life, so everyone decided to take turns to keep vigil. However, it was not peaceful on the first night.”
"Is Old Lady Liu still alive?”Second Brother asked. The second brother had never believed in ghosts. When the village chief said this, the second brother asked anxiously.
"A dead person is dead. How can he still be alive? But who knew that the person guarding the spirit would fall asleep in a daze at night. He dreamed that Old Lady Liu instructed him to give you this red undergarment. When the man woke up, he also felt that it was quite strange. However, when he woke up, he saw that Old Lady Liu's red undergarment was in his hand. When this person saw the red undergarment, he was frightened. He cried and crawled to find me. He knew that the red undergarment accompanied Old Lady Liu into the coffin!”When the village chief said this, he seemed to want to smoke. Only then did he realize that the cigarette in his hand had long been left at Old Lady Liu's house. The second brother saw through the village chief's intentions and casually handed over a cigarette.
The village chief lit the cigarette and took two deep puffs before continuing,"That person came to me with that red undergarment and told me about it. I also found it strange. " Look at the bright red undergarment in his hand. Isn't this the undergarment that accompanied Mrs. Liu into the coffin? I thought this was too strange, so I kept this undergarment and waited for you to come. I'll let you take this and go far away. Since Mrs. Liu told us to give this to you in her dream, we'll definitely give it to you."”
After listening to the village chief's story, I felt that this matter was not simple. Looking at the village chief's expression, I guessed that he had told us everything he could, but now, I had even more questions in my heart. The old lady who sold me the things was obviously Old Lady Liu, but the village chief said that Old Lady Liu was already dead when I came. And this red undergarment, how could Old Lady Liu have asked someone to give it to me in my dream? Why did it have to be me and not Second Brother? At that time, I came with Second Brother. Could it be that I have some connection with this Old Lady Liu? There was no way I could explain this series of questions.
