The Creepy Ghost Curse Rune
After walking for a few minutes, Grandpa finally spoke slowly.
"Little Ming, didn't you want to know why we borrowed money?”
Hearing his grandfather's words, he immediately became spirited.
As he walked, he nodded repeatedly, afraid that he would interrupt his grandfather and stop talking.
"Everyone is born from their parents, and so are you!”
What?
Grandpa, why are you suddenly bringing up this topic that you've never talked about before?
He listened quietly, afraid that he would miss a word.
"Your father was like me, a corpse hunter. Because you were about to be born, he wanted to save more money so that he could have more time to take care of you and your son when you were born. Those days, the two of us frequently went upstream and downstream to help others salvage.”
"One day, I wasn't feeling well. I was resting at home, so I didn't go out with him.”
"That day, he crashed into something in the river. Although it was a close shave, he came back in one piece.”
"But from that day on, he changed completely. He was alone for many days. He ate and slept normally, but he didn't speak a word. He only smiled when you were born.”
It was already close to noon, and the sun was shining high in the sky. His skin, which had been exposed to the scorching sun for many years, was as black as charcoal, and beads of sweat kept dripping from it.
Su Ming handed the water bottle to his grandfather.
He took the kettle and stopped under the shade of a tree by the roadside.
He sat on the rock and took two big gulps. Then, he wiped the sweat off his face and continued.
"At that time, I thought that he had regained his former vitality and felt a trace of relief.”
"But on that day, your mother went crazy. She laughed all day long. No matter who she saw, she was the same. She didn't do any housework and didn't even want to feed you. She almost carried you out of the cradle and killed you a few times. Fortunately, your father was by her side and stopped her in time.”
"One day, when I woke up, I heard you crying alone in the cradle.”
"When I got up, your mother was hanging on the beam beside your cradle. Her hair was disheveled, and her tongue was sticking out. Her eyes were wide open as if she had seen something terrifying.”
"That day, when we mobilized this village, hundreds of people searched for your father, but they couldn't find him. We searched every nook and cranny, but we couldn't find him alive or dead.”
"Someone said that someone saw your father cursing by the Yellow River that morning. It seemed like something in the river was talking.”
"Then everyone will think that he was dragged down by something in the river.”
"In private, the villagers say all kinds of things. Some say that you're a jinx and that your parents died because of you.”
Grandpa said with some emotion.
After listening to his grandfather's words, he was disgusted by the rumors behind the villagers 'backs.
However, it had nothing to do with borrowing money this time. Su Ming couldn't help but ask,""Then why did Grandpa borrow money?"
"This is also for your father, him!”
"Recently, I've been dreaming that he was locked up in a cave filled with corpses. His hair and beard were long, his clothes were tattered, and he was covered in injuries as if he had been whipped.”
"He often had the same dream all night long, and he kept asking me to save him.”
"At first, I could only hear him say that he wanted me to save him, but every time I opened my mouth to talk to him, I would wake up.”
When Su Ming heard this, his heart started to beat faster.
For a moment, he had the urge to rush into his grandfather's dream and meet his father. Perhaps his father could tell him where he was now.
"Until one day, in my dream, he raised his head and looked at me with bloodshot eyes and a pale face."
"He said,'Father, I fished up something in the river back then, and it caused our family to be cursed by the thing in the river. Only by building a temple for the Ghost King in the river and making him a golden body can we resolve his resentment. Otherwise, I'm afraid my entire family will die. Just as I was about to ask where he was, he disappeared. I never dreamed of him again!"
Hearing this, Su Ming suddenly realized the reason why his grandfather borrowed money.
"But no matter how real Grandpa is, he's just a dream!”
Su Ming didn't quite believe it.
Although he also hoped that his father was still alive and that he could save his father, as a person who had received formal education, he did not dare to believe that his father had entered his dreams.
"I didn't believe it at first, until these appeared on me.”
He rolled up his sleeves to his shoulders.
The black skin on his arm was covered in various bright red patterns, like cracks on glass that would suddenly tear from the inside out.
It also seemed to be some kind of mysterious text.
Some of them bulged like blood vessels protruding from the surface of the skin. Some of them even jumped. The flow of blood could almost be seen, and it made one's hair stand on end.
"What? What is this?"
Su Ming's heart sped up several times. He had never heard of any illness like this.
"This is the 'Ghost Curse Rune', it will appear on the cursed person. Moreover, there are already signs on your body that it's about to flare up.”
Grandpa said this because he had checked him last night while he was asleep and had already seen the signs of an attack.
Su Ming quickly rolled up his sleeves. He was surprised to find that a red mark had appeared on his shoulder.
It wasn't as serious as his grandfather's, but the 'Ghost Curse Runes' were almost identical. If one didn't pay attention, one wouldn't have noticed it.
"Grandpa, could it be that I saw wrongly and it's actually a disease?”
Su Ming asked, hoping to get lucky.
"This old man has been in this line of work for so many years. Although my eyes are blurry now, I can still see the ugliness of things.”
Grandpa said firmly.
