"The Yin soldiers took advantage of it? What the hell?!" Qin Nan frowned and looked at the two people with solemn expressions on the side, as if they had encountered something evil.
"This, these are all feudal superstitions. How many times have I told Zeng Li, don't..." Before Qin Nan could finish her words, Zeng Li made a shushing gesture.
At this time, there were more and more white copper circles outside, which made him feel a little scared. Even though he didn't believe in any ghosts and gods, he still listened to Zeng Li's words.
Wu Haotian swallowed, then lightly stepped on the accelerator and moved forward bit by bit. The speed of the car was even slower than that day when Qin Nan encountered heavy fog, as if he was afraid that he would encounter something unclean ahead.
Wu Haotian drove at a speed of ten kilometers per hour for about a minute. At this time, it was pitch black on both sides, with no vegetation visible, only white snow and endless darkness.
Suddenly, Wu Haotian drove the vehicle to a corner and stopped.
Several people in the car also looked forward, and saw a person standing about ten meters away from the front of the car!
He was wearing a thin blue tunic suit and a pair of old-looking trousers. His whole head drooped at 90 degrees. His long white braids hung in front of him, and his face could not be seen clearly.
All you could see was that his head was facing the people in the car, standing there motionless, looking very strange.
"Who put the scarecrow in the middle? It's so weird." Qin Nan was also a little scared when he saw that thing.
He wanted to get out of the car and move the leaking thing. At this time, he was sitting in the passenger seat, and his two sisters were sitting in the back seat.
It seemed that he had to get out of the car to move the scarecrow. Just as Qin Nan pulled off his seat belt, Wu Haotian grabbed him.
He stared at the "scarecrow" directly in front of him, and then slowly said: "That's not a scarecrow, that's the old man from the Liang family."
"Who, who?!" Qin Nan frowned. From what Wu Haotian meant, it seemed that there was a person standing not far away.
"Cousin, I'm not joking with you. Speak softer. Maybe that's the person the Yin soldiers want to take away. It seems that the old man from the Liang family has returned to the west." Zeng Li said, lying down between the two of them.
"What do you mean..." Qin Nan swallowed and looked at Wu Haotian and Zeng Li, who looked solemn.
"It means, that is a dead person!" Zeng Li said.
"I can't eat anymore, I really can't eat anymore..." At this time, Mo Dan, who was sitting in the back row, seemed to be talking in his sleep.
"Hey, wake up, don't sleep." Zeng Li sat in the back row and shook Mo Dan.
Mo Dan wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and then looked at Zeng Li in confusion. Zeng Li motioned her not to speak, then pointed straight ahead,
Mo Dan looked in the direction of Zeng Li's finger. She rubbed her eyes and narrowed her eyes. Just when she was about to scream, Zeng Li covered her mouth and said:
"Don't panic, I'm here."
Mo Dan looked at Zeng Li, then nodded slightly, and then closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to look at things in the distance.
Zeng Li saw that thing standing by the roadside, so she said to Wu Haotian:
"Brother Haotian, drive forward slowly and take a look..."
Wu Haotian released the brake, and the car slowly walked towards the intersection. Before walking two meters, the old man standing on the edge of the road raised his right leg sharply.
Taking a step forward, Wu Haotian quickly stepped on the brakes after seeing this. Qin Nan also swallowed when he saw it. He didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost, which broke his traditional understanding.
If that was a human being, he would be too cold-resistant. There was not much snow on him just now, but now there was some snow on his neck.
"No, I have to get out of the car to do the ritual, otherwise we will be in trouble tonight." After Zeng Li finished speaking, she took out a yellow talisman from her waist and looked at Mo Dan, who had his eyes closed.
Then she opened the door and got out of the car, and when she came to the front of the car, Zeng Li picked up the lighter, lit the yellow charm, and then threw the charm into the air, then clasped her hands together and muttered something in her mouth,
About thirty seconds later, Zeng Li got into the car, and then said to Wu Haotian: "Brother Haotian, go back, don't turn around, just reverse the car like this, back to another intersection, and take another road."
"Okay." Wu Haotian responded, and then began to reverse the car bit by bit. It was not until the old man disappeared from sight that Wu Haotian and Zeng Li slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Nan wanted to say something, but when he really saw that thing, he began to waver in his atheism.
Along the way, Qin Nan didn't say anything, and everyone fell into silence. The only thing that could be heard was the snoring of her best friend...
They took the middle fork in the first fork in the road. This road was much more complicated than the previous one. They had to make several turns before reaching the Qin family compound.
Mo Dan had just woken up and seemed to have forgotten everything he had just seen. After Wu Haotian opened the courtyard door, Zeng Li motioned for several people to go inside the kitchen.
After Zeng Li saw everyone entering the kitchen door, she took out a yellow talisman paper from her waist, pasted it on the door, and then gently closed the door.
He also found a long string of yellow talisman papers in the cabinet under the statue, and then wrote something on them with red ink, and then posted them on the door inside.
Qin Nan looked at the string of runes on it and didn't recognize what it said. He only recognized the word "sealing" written on it, which seemed to seal something.
At this time, Zeng Li had a serious look on her face, and it didn't look like she was just playing for fun. She found a few sticks from the haystacks nearby, and within five minutes, she tied the hay into a doll.
shape.
Finally, she tied a yellow talisman on the doll, and then she lit the hay doll and put it into the stove. The moment it entered the stove, a raging fire started burning inside.
After seeing the pile of hay burned out, Zeng Li slowly breathed a sigh of relief. The same was true for Wu Haotian. Only Mo Dan over there looked at the pot on the hay pile and didn't know what he was thinking.
"What are you doing?" Qin Nan looked at Zeng Li with confusion.
"You have to thank me. That was dirty stuff just now. If I hadn't taken action just now, our whole car would have been dead," Zeng Li said.
Mo Dan's eyes widened and he frowned slightly. Zeng Li understood what she meant and nodded. Then Mo Dan's eyes widened even more. Fortunately, she was sleeping just now and didn't know what happened.
After a few people chatted briefly, Mo Dan was also a little scared, so Zeng Li took her back to her home.
Wu Haotian and Qin Nan also returned to their respective homes. As soon as Qin Nan opened his room, a faint scent of sandalwood came from inside. Since he told his grandma last time that there was a strange smell in the room,
This time, grandma lit sandalwood in her own room. He sat on his bed and stroked the quilt. It seemed that the quilt covers had been changed.
He looked at the time and didn't expect that it was already half past two in the morning. Then he took off his clothes and got into bed directly.
He didn't fall asleep in bed for a long time because he was still thinking about the things he encountered tonight. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt. He began to doubt whether science was really scientific.
That night, he had a strange dream. He dreamed that he was driving alone in the village, and he once again met an old man with white braids.
In the blink of an eye, the old man with gray braids smashed the front windshield of his car. The moment the old man grabbed his neck, he woke up immediately. He looked at the time.
It was already nine o'clock in the morning, and grandma didn't wake him up. She seemed to know that she came home very late last night, so she didn't disturb him.
Qin Nan originally wanted to lie in bed and sleep for a while, but when he thought of what happened last night, he couldn't sleep anymore. He quickly got dressed.
As soon as she opened the door, she found her grandma writing something on yellow paper on the table in the living room outside. Zeng Li was also sitting next to her grandma at this time. She was lying on the table, seemingly sleeping.
When grandma saw him pushing open the door, she quickly stood up, pulled him aside and asked:
"Did you encounter anything dirty last night?"
