Master Ye sighed. His voice seemed to contain a lot of helplessness. I looked up at him. He was also a strange person. The lights in the house had always been abandoned by him. He only lit a few candles.
The light in the room was blurry, and with the recent bad things, my nerves were a little sensitive. She felt like there was something hidden in that dark corner.
It was as if a pair of eyes were watching me quietly. It makes me uncomfortable.
"Xiao Bai. I think I have something to tell you.”
My hand that was holding the cup of water was getting colder and colder. I kept feeling that some ghost was inextricably linked to me.
Master Ye turned around. I put down the cup in my hand and silently watched him take out an incense stick from a box. The sudden silence in the room made me not dare to breathe loudly.
"Later, I will light this incense and hypnotize you. Then, you will know the whole story. However, you must remember that when you come back, no matter who calls you, don't turn around. Otherwise, I won't be able to save you.”
I looked into Master Ye's eyes and nodded firmly.
I took a deep breath and comforted myself." Jiang Xiaobai, don't be afraid. You are the best."”
"Then I'll start…"
Master Ye's incense stick was already near the candle. I grabbed his hand.
"Master Ye. I'll be fine, right?"
Master Ye smiled at me and patted my head. She said," Don't worry. As long as you do as I say, you'll be fine. Don't be afraid.”
"Alright, I'll do it. Come on…"
Master Ye lit the incense and put it in the incense burner. He took out a bell from the box and shook it in my ear.
After a while, I felt that my consciousness seemed to be a little blurry. Then, it kept falling down, as if it was pushed into a bottomless abyss.
When I regained consciousness, I had already arrived at the entrance of a village.
There was a very large tree at the village entrance. I couldn't name it, but the trunk was very thick. It took about six or seven people to form a circle to hug it.
The tree roots were intertwined on a large rock and dug deep into the ground from under the rock. Above it was a large forest of branches, and I could already see it.
I looked around and saw a stone tablet in the weeds about two meters away from me. I gulped and thought, Amitabha, the merciful Bodhisattva, you must bless me…Amen…
I nervously walked forward and pushed away the grass in front of the stone tablet to see the words on it.
"Forgotten River Village." Wait a minute. Isn't this my hometown? What was going on…
I heaved a sigh of relief. This is my territory. As the saying goes, I make the decisions in my territory. Who's afraid of who!
A cold breeze blew over and I shivered. Forget it, I'd better go home and take a look. He didn't know what Master Ye was up to.
Entering the village was no different. From afar, she saw Old Wang next door…Uh…No, Old Lady Yang sitting at the door.
She heard that her husband had gone out to work in the city and had not returned for many years. Some people in the village said that her husband had died a long time ago, or that he had money to raise a beautiful woman outside, so he did not return home.
However, Old Lady Yang didn't believe him, so she sat at the door and waited every day. This wait lasted for decades.
She and her husband had no children. In their later years, they were old and sickly. They could be considered to have suffered a lot. They were pitiful people...
I walked over and greeted Old Lady Yang.
"Old Lady Yang."
It was as if she didn't see me as she looked in the direction of the village entrance. To be honest, this expression really made one's heart ache.
"Old Lady Yang."
I don't know if it's because I'm old, but my ears aren't good anymore. I raised my voice and called her again, but she still didn't respond.
I waved my hand in front of her eyes, and her reaction surprised me. In other words, they can't see me!
I suddenly felt a chill down my spine and turned around. I saw a crow perched on the roof of a nearby building, and it started to caw at me.
I felt a little unlucky, so I wanted to chase it away, but I was pulled back by a voice behind me…
"Little White."
I turned around and saw a little girl squatting at the door, playing with a colorful ball. An old woman came out with a walking stick. She was my grandmother…
The tip of my nose began to sting. My childhood memories of my grandmother had already begun to surface.
The nursery rhymes she sang, the printed cotton-padded jacket she made, and my favorite roasted sweet potatoes…
The little girl raised her head and met my gaze. She smiled at me as if she could see me, but I was a little absent-minded.
My head was a little dizzy. When I came back to my senses, I was already in the house.
I was having dinner. When I was a child, I was playing on the brick bed at the side. My mother, father, and grandmother were sitting at the dining table. Looking at their expressions, it was as if something big had happened.
"Mom, don't believe in these superstitions.”
His mother spoke. His mother was a university student and a city dweller. In that era, many people were envious that his father could marry a woman like his mother.
" Shijia, how can I be superstitious? The timing of Little White's birth is unlucky. If we don't do this, she won't live long..."
When Grandma said this, her mother immediately became anxious. She threw away the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and said," Mom, how can you say that? Xiao Bai is your granddaughter. Are you cursing her?”
" I'm doing this for Xiao Bai's own good. I only have this one granddaughter, and she's my treasure…"
Grandma's tone was a little choked. Mother didn't retort when she saw this. She just came to my side sullenly.
Her father did not say a word. Presumably, this kind of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship made her father very anxious.
After a while, his father spoke.
"Shijia, Mom's words are reasonable. Have you forgotten that something almost happened to Xiao Bai last time?”
Father was talking about what happened half a year ago. At that time, I was only about four years old. I was playing hide-and-seek with the older children at the village entrance.
In order not to be found by them, I ran into an abandoned courtyard. I saw an old granny inside. She gave me a lot of delicious food.
I was so attracted by the delicious food in front of me that I had long forgotten about hide-and-seek. I only cared about eating.
When the old lady asked," Little friend, can you go to Grandma's house to play? There's nothing else."
Before I could answer, my father had already rushed in. When I turned around, the grandmother from before was long gone.
The young me was scared to tears. After I went back, my grandmother invited Master Ye, Master Ye's father, to perform a spell for me to get rid of the thing that was clinging to me…
Her mother was speechless at her father's words. She had never been superstitious, but her beliefs were broken by me. Because my father clearly remembered that there was a lock on the door of that house. No one knew how I got in…
"If that's the case, I can agree.”
Hearing her mother's words, a smile appeared on Grandma's face, and her father heaved a sigh of relief.
"But…I want to take Xiao Bai to the city after this matter is over. I can't stay here for another day.”
Grandma and Father had no choice but to compromise. I'm the pitiful one. After listening to it for so long, I still don't understand what's going on.
In the blink of an eye, it was as if time and space had changed. I came to a mourning hall.
The cold atmosphere made every hair on my body stand on end. I was a little scared. There was no one in the room.
I breathed out and wanted to warm my hands with the hot air.
He looked around. In the middle of the room was a coffin and a spiritual table. Hey, wait! No, why are there two tags!
One had Ji Qianfan written on it, and the other…Heavens! I couldn't help but want to curse. Who is this? Why did he write my name on it!
The entire mourning hall was mainly black and white, and there were many wreaths. Other than the tributes on the table, there were also some prepared gold ingots.
At this moment, there was movement outside the door. Although I was very afraid, I still braced myself and continued to watch. Maybe the pervert who has been pestering me is this. Where was Ji Qianfan?
Don't worry, Xiao Bai will be fine…"
This voice belonged to Master Ye…
Soon, the door opened and many people came in. Grandma and the others were all present. I was carried in by Master Ye and looked like I had lost my soul.
I was wearing mourning clothes, which made the big red flower in my hand look particularly dazzling. The room was silent. Other than the flickering candlelight, nothing else disturbed the ritual.
Master Ye hugged me. A woman at the side spoke.
It was just like a marriage in ancient times. The man in the coffin and I knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times to become husband and wife. I was his wife in the underworld, and he became my ghost husband...
When I seemed to understand what was going on, Master Ye's voice sounded in my ear.
" Little White, open the door and go to the village entrance. Don't turn back and keep walking. You'll be back soon…Hurry…"
My mind was in a mess. I only had one bad thought, but I knew that it would be fine if I left this place…
However, an unknown force came from behind me. I only felt a slight pain in the back of my head. After a while, I fell to the ground…I only saw a tall figure walking towards me.
