As soon as my feet touched the ground, I heard a strange bird chirping in the distance. The sound was long and sharp, with an air of resentment and anger. It was extremely harsh, as if a long nail was being pierced into the eardrum.
"Hide first, it's coming!"
Gu Xiwen pulled me and rolled on the spot, hiding under a huge tea rose tree.
A huge black shadow covered the sky and the moon, and a strange wind blew in from outside the courtyard and directly entered Principal Wen's bedroom through the window.
The gust of wind disappeared as quickly as it came, and the courtyard instantly became calm again. I looked at the window of Principal Wen's bedroom through the cracks in the branches, and saw a strange scarlet light coming from inside.
Just as he was about to get up and go over to take a look, a hoarse voice suddenly came from his ear: "You little girl is so annoying. You have something on you and you are so close to me. You should go away quickly. I feel so uncomfortable!"
I was shocked. Is there anyone else hiding in this place?
Turning around, I saw a man in ragged clothes with a green glow all over his body, shivering at the root of a tree, looking at me with a look of resentment.
It turned out to be a wandering god, but for some unknown reason, his soul seemed to have been greatly damaged and was constantly dissipating.
We here call wandering ghosts who have no support. They are usually people who died suddenly. Their families did not perform rituals for them or they cannot find their way home or go to the underworld, so they wander around.
, find some place with strong yin energy to stay, so as not to lose your soul.
Sometimes they will deliberately find people with low luck to grind against them, but generally they will not kill people, just give them some paper money.
In the past, my fourth uncle and grandma always said that they were the most pitiful ones, and would deliberately take in some wandering gods, and then send them away together.
Principal Wen, the yard full of flowers and plants is the most popular place for wandering gods.
"A little wandering god is so fierce, so let me try the five-cent sword in my hand on you!" Gu Xiwen on the side suddenly said, raised the five-cent sword in his hand and stabbed the wandering god.
.#@$&
When the wandering god saw the five-coin sword, it trembled even more and looked at us with fear on its face. The green light on its body suddenly became brighter, flickering like a giant firefly.
This is a sign of imminent loss of life.
"Don't hurt him!" I hurriedly stopped him and grabbed the five-coin sword in Gu Xiwen's hand.
Gu Xiwen turned to look at me doubtfully.
"Will you be saved? Send him down!" I asked Gu Xiwen in a low voice.%&(&
"Isn't he just a wandering god? As for wasting that energy to save him? It's so easy to save him with one sword!" Gu Xiwen said nonchalantly.
"But he was once a human being, and it is pitiable that he has been reduced to this. All living things have the right to live, and you cannot take it away at will." I held the five-coin sword and held on.
Gu Xiwen stared at me blankly, his eyes full of doubts and confusion, but finally, he slowly put down the five-coin sword in his hand and muttered: "I don't have the ability to be saved on the spot, if you really want to
If we want to send him down, we have to wait until this matter is finished and we can go back."
I looked at the wandering god and said, "You find a place to hide first. After we rescue Teacher Wen, you can come back with us and we will take you down."
"You, are you really willing to send me down?" The wandering god spoke in a hoarse voice, looking at us in disbelief, and the green fluorescence on his body gradually dimmed.
I nodded, "Don't worry, we won't hurt you!"
Gu Xiwen turned his face away from him awkwardly.
The wanderer looked at Gu Xiwen, then at me, and said in a hoarse voice again: "Are you here to save Principal Wen?"
I nodded, "Do you also know what Principal Wen offended?"
"I know, Principal Wen is a good person. If he hadn't planted so many flowers and plants in the yard to give us a place to live, we would have been stunned! But he was really wronged about this bird!" You
God said, and sighed deeply.
I looked at him in surprise: "Do you know how Principal Wen offended that bird?"
When Gu Xiwen heard this, he also turned to look at You Shen.
"That was two years ago!" You Shen sighed and told us a little story.
It turned out that Principal Wen had just retired two years ago and was cooking for Wen Juan and Rao Honghong at home every day. Rao Honghong especially liked to eat the dumplings made by Principal Wen, and Principal Wen made red dumplings for Rao Hong in the kitchen that afternoon.
While I was rolling out dumpling wrappers, a small bird with reddish-brown feathers flew out of nowhere. It had curly feathers on the top of its head, a long beak, and a sharp but melodious cry.
It was a female bird. It was standing on the flower tree outside the kitchen and singing. Because it looked pretty, Principal Wen took some millet and sprinkled it on the kitchen window sill to tease the bird. The bird was not afraid of people.
, landed directly on the window sill to peck at the millet, and screamed at Principal Wen even more cheerfully.
But at this time, a civet cat ran out of nowhere. When he saw a bird on the windowsill, he jumped on the window sill and tried to catch it. Hearing that the principal was anxious, he raised his rolling pin and went to chase the civet cat. But he didn't know what happened.
By mistake, the rolling pin swung directly at the bird, knocking it to the ground.
When the civet cat saw the bird landing, it pounced on it, grabbed it in its mouth, and ran away. Principal Wen also chased the bird all the way to get the bird back, but in the end, it was because of its age that it failed to catch up.
That night, the male bird came and screamed all night around the yard. It also summoned many of these birds to peck at the windows of the principal's house. It was so noisy all night. At dawn the next day, it
They all flew away again.
Those birds made trouble for three days in total, and finally stopped coming. Two years later, we thought this was the end of the matter. Who knew that three months ago, the male bird came again, and seemed to have recovered.
, and began to grind to death about Principal Wen. Judging from the situation, Principal Wen should have only been around for the past two days.
Gu Xiwen and I suddenly realized that no wonder the coffin bird wanted to seek revenge from Principal Wen despite the fact that he was being bitten.
No wonder the principal felt pain and had to hit it with a rolling pin.
But I heard that the suffering the principal has endured in the past few months has been enough to pay off his unintentional mistake.
I suddenly felt confident in rescuing Principal Wen, and looked at Gu Xiwen and said, "Gu Xiwen, did you hear that the female bird was not killed by Principal Wen on purpose? As long as we can communicate with the male coffin bird, Principal Wen will definitely
It'll be fine."
Gu Xiwen frowned, obviously not as optimistic about this matter as I was, "Rabbit, you have to know that no matter what the reason was, the female bird died in the hands of Principal Wen, and even though she was enlightened, she was still a bird.
