When I returned to the village, it was already close to evening. Brother Chang was anxiously pacing around the village entrance. I don't know if he was waiting for me or for something.
Unknowingly, he had been tormented for a whole day, and his entire body was exhausted. The smell of sweat mixed with the smell of mud. After greeting Brother Chang, he went to the reservoir in the village and prepared to take a shower.
It was getting late, and only a small number of people would come here to take a bath at this hour.
I was a good swimmer, and there was an old street lamp beside the reservoir and a few idle villagers. There was nothing to be afraid of. I took off my coat and dove down.
The water was so cool that the fatigue of the day was gone.
As I relaxed, I recalled what I had just experienced.
Suddenly, there was a sound in the water. I thought that another villager had jumped down, so I didn't pay attention to it.
However, when I was about to float to the surface, I saw a black object appear in the water. I took a closer look. Isn't this the black snake they were talking about?
I looked at the black snake and my left eye suddenly hurt. I was shocked and hurriedly swam up, but my legs began to cramp. I couldn't move at all, and the white and black snake was getting closer and closer to me.
The black snake swung its tail in the water, stirring the water upside down. I kept rolling in the water, feeling that I was definitely going to die. Suddenly, a hand grabbed my arm and dragged me ashore. It was actually Big Brother Chang.
"Little girl, be careful next time!" Big Brother Chang slapped me heavily on the back. Only then did I come back to my senses and say," The snake, the snake is inside. It has horns…"
"Your eyes are not good. You're mistaken. There's no snake with horns!”"Alright, go back and have a good sleep tonight!" Big Brother Chang stood up and said.”
I had no choice but to follow Brother Chang back, but I still had a lingering fear. Moreover, such a huge snake, didn't Brother Chang see it? Am I really the only one who can see that the black snake has two horns?
How could snakes grow horns?
Why did my eyes hurt just now?
When I woke up in the middle of the night, the room was dark again. I had to pee and quickly ran out. In the end, I bumped into Brother Chang. Brother Chang scolded,"What are you doing out here? Hurry up and go back to sleep!”
I was shocked and quickly said that I wanted to pee. Brother Chang told me to pee in the vegetable field in front and not in the back. I was very puzzled. There were vegetable fields in front and back.
This morning, he said," Brother Chang, I really saw that snake yesterday. If I die after seeing it, will I be cursed too?”Moreover…I haven't had the chance to tell you about what happened at the back of the mountain yesterday.
"Cursed by his mother!" Brother Chang glared at me and said,"Don't go around talking nonsense. If you go out and say it, be careful that the snake will find you tonight!"”
I didn't pay attention to Chang dage's words. After dinner, I went back to my room to lie down. After two days of torment, I quickly fell asleep comfortably. When I slept until midnight, my mind suddenly became clear. I felt a gaze staring at me.
I suddenly opened my eyes and found a woman in red standing in the corner of the room. Due to the darkness, I couldn't see the woman's face clearly. I only saw the woman's pale face emitting a faint light.
The woman's toes were extremely high, as if her entire body was supported by her big toes.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and the three incense sticks were broken. (Note: The author would light three long incense sticks for the first three nights in a strange house.)
Although I wasn't young anymore, I still instinctively felt fear. My entire body was trembling with fear. I asked with a trembling voice,"Who, who are you?"
hehehe
The woman didn't answer me and only let out a strange laugh.
I was so scared that I kept calling out to Big Brother Chang.
Brother Chang heard the sound and pushed open my door. Before I could say anything, he saw me lying on the ground and looked at the broken incense stick. His expression was extremely ugly.
I've never seen Big Brother Chang's expression this ugly these past few days. He was silent for a long time, then he sighed and said,"In the end, she still found me."
Brother Chang didn't tell me who that woman was. He only told me that I don't have to sleep in this room anymore.
At that time, I didn't think too much about it. When I heard that I didn't have to sleep in this room anymore, I wasn't much happy. Instead, my mind was filled with questions.
Big brother Chang looked at me and sighed repeatedly, his expression very solemn.
I quickly forgot about that woman. She never appeared again until a week later, when I saw her again.
It was early in the morning, and the weather was very stuffy.
That night, when I came back from the town, there was no one in the village. Brother Chang had gone to the neighboring town to deliver a coffin.
Suddenly, I heard banging on the door. I put down my book, puzzled.
Everyone in the village went to bed early. It was almost ten o'clock now. Usually, no one would come to visit at this time of the night.
"Who is it?" I replied.
It was quiet outside and no one answered. However, the knocking on the door became more and more intense.
"Which one?" I asked again, but no one answered.
I had no choice but to put down my backpack and go outside to take a look.
He opened the door and saw a woman in red standing outside. She had a very handsome face, but her face looked a little pale.
I sized her up and asked," What's the matter?”
The woman stared straight at me. Just as I was getting a little scared, the woman spoke in a cold voice,
"I want to buy seven pieces of shroud." the woman replied.
I was stunned, thinking that this woman was so strange. Who would buy a shroud in an odd number? Nine? (Note: In Brother Chang's village, everyone does things related to funerals.)
There was a custom in this village that one could not wear a single shroud in pairs, fearing that the disaster of death would come again. Seven shrouds were the most taboo, and it was very unlucky.
"I'm sorry, but we're not selling the seven pieces of shroud. Who passed away in your family? The boss isn't here, so I can give you a reference on the number of shrouds.”I smiled politely at the woman.
The woman looked at me again and didn't say anything. She turned around and left.
What a strange person! I muttered in my heart and returned to the house.
The next day, at 10 o'clock, the woman came again, wearing the same red dress.
She was still staring at me with a pale face."I want seven pieces of shroud."
"We don't sell seven pieces of shroud here!" I replied impatiently.”
The woman didn't say anything and turned to leave.
I stared at the woman's back as she left. Suddenly, my eyes widened.
The woman's walking posture was very strange. It was as if she was walking on her toes, which looked especially scary.
I suddenly remembered the woman in red I saw a few days ago, and my heart sank.
After returning to my room, I immediately called Brother Chang. My voice was slightly trembling as I told Brother Chang about the strange woman I met in the past two days.
