The six of them had a really busy day.
Xu Wenyan's house has always had firewood, so how could it be burned like this?
And it seems that the amount of bamboo shoots dried out is not enough.
Xu Wenyan also estimated that these bamboo shoots could only be supplied twice at most. After ten days, the bamboo shoots would probably become old and turn into bamboo.
No, he needs to send more people.
That night, he went to the village chief's house with Chen Sanlin. The sky in the countryside was really dark. Even a big man like Xu Wenyan didn't dare to walk alone at night.
At first glance, there was really nothing to see. Xu Wenyan held Chen Sanlin's arm tightly. Chen Sanlin held a homemade torch in his right hand, which was enough to burn such a section of the road.
Feeling the person next to him moving towards him, Chen Sanlin's mouth curled up.
"Brother Chen, there aren't any ghost stories in our village. Why does it look so scary at night?" It was dark, and there were rustling sounds coming from all around.
It was not the cry of any animal, but the sound of something passing through the grass. Xu Wenyan swallowed and wished that Chen Sanlin could carry him away.
"I see you're quite scared." Chen Sanlin said to Xu Wenyan with the help of the faint firelight.
Xu Wenyan swallowed and said, "Yeah, but I don't know why, I've liked listening to it since I was a child."
"Ahem." Chen Sanlin first looked at Xu Wenyan's expectant and fearful expression, then cleared his throat: "Then I'll start."
“This incident happened in a northern village in Lin Country.
The Xu family gave birth to a son in the first month of the year."
"Ah no! Why is it Lao Xu? Change another one, change another one." Xu Wenyan said with a trembling voice.
Chen Sanlin smiled slightly: "Okay.
The Wang family had a son in the first month of the year. Little Wang was lively, cute and family-friendly since he was born.
No matter who holds the child, they are happy.
A few months later, the child's third aunt came from the western village in a donkey cart. Thinking that the child was just a few months old, she wanted to come and see him again.
When the third aunt got off the bus, there was a "ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling" sound.
It turned out to be a gift from Aunt San for the child.
But who would have thought that since Third Aunt entered the room, the child stopped smiling and just lay in her mother's arms, not daring to make a sound."
"Why?" Xu Wenyan listened intently: "Is her third aunt a ghost?"
Chen Sanlin shook his head: "Just keep listening.
The third aunt also loved children and reached out to hug Xiao Wang. However, as soon as Xiao Wang was touched by his third aunt, he started crying and making a fuss and no matter how she tried to comfort him, it was useless.
Helplessly, Lao Wang had to send Third Aunt away, saying that the child had become unfamiliar with her after being separated for too long.
Although Third Aunt was also puzzled, there was nothing she could do as the child kept crying.
After placing the gift bell next to the bed, he rode the donkey cart back to the village.
But the strange thing is that even after Auntie San left, Xiao Wang still cried and made a fuss. "
"!!! Brother Chen, the torch is dimmer than before. Is it going out?" Xu Wenyan snuggled into Chen Sanlin's arms again.
Chen Sanlin turned his head to look at the torch, which was indeed swaying in the wind at this time: "No, it's just a little wind.
I continued.
Xiao Wang cried all night long. The old woman at home thought that Xiao Wang was possessed by an evil spirit, so she asked the village fairy to come and take a look.
The fairy lady noticed something was wrong before she even entered the house.
I only heard her rough voice saying, 'Didn't a woman in her forties come yesterday, riding a donkey?'
After hearing what the fairy said, the Wang family's hair stood on end, because it was his third aunt who came yesterday.
The fairy narrowed her eyes and said, "Did she also bring a bell?"
When Old Wang heard this, he took the bell from the bedside and showed it to the fairy.
After looking at it, the fairy nodded slowly.
"This bell is not clean. The woman came on a donkey cart, and the bell rang all the way, which must have attracted the wild ghost. All we need is someone wearing a pig crystal tied with a red string and walking in the direction where the woman came from.
Remember to send it as far as possible.'
Pig crystal is not a difficult thing to get. That day, Lao Wang put it on, shook the bell and walked towards the deep mountains and forests.
There were no people or even birds in the forest, and Lao Wang just kept walking and walking, shaking the bell.
"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling." Just as Chen Sanlin was talking excitedly, the sound of bells really came from beside him.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! Brother Chen, there's a ghost!" Xu Wenyan buried her head in Chen Sanlin's arms, scared to tears.
When it comes to fighting, Xu Wenyan has never been afraid of anyone, including ghosts and gods.
Physical attacks are useless!
Chen Sanlin was also sweating coldly. What he was telling was a horror story! Could it be true?
"Is that the ring tone? Ding-ling-ling--"
"Ahhhh!" Xu Wenyan screamed again in Chen Sanlin's arms.
"Hahahaha, you two are so funny." Wang Dongmei walked out of the darkness. She noticed what the two people were talking about two minutes ago.
After listening for a while, I thought about scaring them.
"Sister Dongmei! You are so mean." Xu Wenyan's face turned red. He was the leader of Gulin No. 3 Middle School, but he was scared like this. It was so embarrassing.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to believe that kind of thing." He said and shook the bell in his hand again.
Xu Wenyan looked at the bell in Wang Dongmei's hand and wondered: "Sister Dongmei, why do you have a bell?" What was scary was not that she appeared suddenly.
It’s the bell sound that fits the occasion!
"You're afraid, so why don't you let Chen Sanlin explain it to you?" Wang Dongmei smiled and led the two into the house.
"I......"
"This bell is for Uncle Chen Wu. His family is planning to buy a cow. This village cannot do without a cow cart, so we gave him some financial support." Wang Dongmei put the bell down and lit the kerosene lamp. "What's the matter? What do you want from me?"
Only at this point did Xu Wenyan come to his senses.
"It's just a negotiation that you help me with the work and I'll pay you."
"What kind of work?"
"Just pick the bamboo shoots, then dry them for me. I can give you 70 cents a day. You and Brother Xingjie will do it together, but you must keep the location of the bamboo shoots a secret." After changing the subject, Xu Wenyan's hurt heart felt better.
"Okay, let's go whenever." Wang Dongmei agreed readily. After sowing the seeds, there was no more work to do, and having her parents at home was enough.
"tomorrow."
After the discussion, the two of them left. People were still lighting kerosene lamps, which were very expensive in ancient times.
"Chen...Brother Chen, what happened to Old Wang later?" Xu Wenyan's tone became weaker again.
Chen Sanlin hugged him into his arms: "What's the matter, do you still want to listen?"
Xu Wenyan nodded: "Well, I don't know the ending, I...I feel bad."
"Okay, okay.
After Old Wang walked more than ten miles with the bell, the bell stopped ringing no matter how he shook it.
It was at that moment that Lao Wang's red rope broke, and the pig crystal rolled to the ground and broke into two pieces. "
"What the hell! Why is that?" As someone who has been listening to ghost stories for years, he knew that if the red rope broke, the life-saving thing would be gone and he would be in great danger.
Chen Sanlin grinned and continued.
"The old man's face turned cold, and then a bell rang from the back.
When I looked back, I saw a woman in white behind me.
The woman's hair hung in front of her face, and her face could not be seen at all.
It was one day after this that Lao Wang completely disappeared.
Everyone in the village said that it was Old Wang who warded off disaster for Little Wang.
From then on, the sound of bells could be heard from time to time on the road west of the village.
But when I looked back, there was no one else. "
Chen Sanlin felt that the person in his arms was pushing against his chest, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
Tonight when I went to bed.
Xu Wenyan hugged Chen Sanlin extremely tightly.
He was afraid that as soon as Chen Sanlin left, bells would ring around him.
And the woman in white whose face can't be seen clearly...
