Although Aunt Li has come and told my mother not to look for her and that she will not hurt anyone in the future, my mother thinks that Aunt Li can no longer be trusted.
The next day, before the rooster crowed, my mother got up early and went to the altar, where she took a yellow cloth bag and filled it with things.
I know all those things: a gold ingot, a small incense burner, a bowl of uncooked rice, three copper coins, and a handful of incense.
I put my arms on the altar table, put my feet on my feet and asked my mother sleepily: "Mom, why did you wake me up? I haven't even woken up yet."
When I got up, I was envious that Lulu could continue to sleep.
While pretending, my mother turned to look at me with a smile: "If you leave our village, I won't be able to see you, Aunt Li. You have to be my eyes."
I suddenly became energetic!
Thinking of Aunt Li's terrifying look yesterday, the hairs on my body stood up.
My mother touched my head: "Mom is here, what are you afraid of?"
I was dragged out by my mother reluctantly.
There was breakfast warmed by my mother in the kitchen, and the pigs and chickens had been fed. My mother and I closed the door quietly.
It wasn't light outside yet, it was completely dark.
Although July has not passed yet, there are already far fewer ghosts wandering the streets. When my mother and I were walking on the road, occasionally a few naughty ghosts would pass by, and they would run away when they saw my mother.
My small shoulders, which were originally shrunken, gradually straightened up, not to mention looking more majestic.
Half an hour later, my mother and we arrived at the cemetery.
Maybe it's because the door to the underworld opens in July, and many ghosts come to reunite with their relatives. It's more crowded than the last time I saw it, and it's full of white flowers.
Looking at it from a distance, I thought it was a large patch of moonlight.
As my mother and I got closer, those little devils screamed and crawled into their own graves. Some of them had some bad intentions and stuck out their scary heads and looked over at us.
"Sister-in-law." The second uncle put on a clean gray coat, turned on the light in his cabin and walked out.
The second uncle also looked like he had not woken up. His usually round eyes were now narrowed into slits.
The second uncle yawned: "You're here so early."
"Yeah, if it's a little later it will be daylight. It's just the right time. The ghost servants have finished their work and they won't disturb others."
While they were talking, the two of them carried out a maroon Eight Immortals table from the second uncle's hut.
"That is Sister-in-law Li's grave." The second uncle pointed to the grave not far to the east.
The grave soil behind the stone tablet is still fresh, soaked by the morning dew, and exudes a unique fragrance of earth. I love smelling this smell.
I took a few deep breaths and suddenly thought that this soil was where a corpse was buried, so I quickly spat it out.
In sight, my mother first spread a layer of yellow cloth that was two inches wide and twice as thin on the table, and then placed a bunch of things on the table.
I won't feel sleepy anymore.
I sat under my second uncle's hut and watched.
Although I was quite frightened by monsters and ghosts during this period, I was still curious when I saw my mother starting to do it.
After my second uncle helped my mother put things away, he walked over to me and sat down, lighting a cigarette.
I immediately covered my nose, turned around and glared at my second uncle: "Second uncle, can you smoke less, you're choking to death."
"My second uncle only has this hobby, and you asked me to stop it?" My second uncle smiled and touched my head, and I quickly moved away. My second uncle's baldness has gotten worse these days.
"I'm not allowed to rub it anymore." My second uncle put on a heartbroken expression, and I stuck out my tongue at him.
At this time, my mother had already lit the incense and put it upside down in the bowl of uncooked rice.
"Girl, take a look, the incense floats upward to offer to gods, the incense floats downward to offer to ghosts, and the incense is placed upside down to attract spirits." The second uncle pointed at the three incense sticks and came over to me and told me.
I frowned and covered my nose. My uncle's mouth smelled so bad, it smelled like cigarette smoke.
"Second uncle."
"What?"
"Why are you telling me this? I'm not a goddess."
The second uncle was stunned for a moment, and then he scratched his face, which was rare. He looked a little depressed: "I can't help it."
"Why can't I hold it back?"
"It's nothing, it's up to you."
"..."You're still mean to me!
I turned my head angrily, and then I saw the little ghosts on the graves, which made me laugh all of a sudden.
They wanted to see it but were scared. They were scared and curious about what my mother was doing. On the large and small graves, heads were exposed one by one, and they were exposed again and again. Their movements were not consistent, just like a gopher.
Similar.
I covered my mouth and snickered.
My second uncle called me angrily: "Why are you laughing? Come and see if Aunt Li is here."
"oh."
My mother was already squatting in front of the brazier, chanting Aunt Li's name while burning gold ingots into the brazier.
The fire was bright and bright.
I looked left and right, but I didn't see Aunt Li. Instead, a few little ghosts ran over happily and circled around the smoke from the Jin Yuanbao.
"No?"
"No?" The second uncle stood up and stared at the ground in a daze, "No."
My mother also became more and more anxious. From the beginning she called Aunt Li's name in a low voice, and finally she started mumbling words that I couldn't understand.
The second uncle also went from being leisurely at the beginning to being so anxious that he was running around in circles.
I don’t understand. If you didn’t come, you didn’t come. If you call me again, it’s okay. Why are they two so nervous?
Until the roosters crowed in the village, the fish belly turned white in the east, the ingots my mother brought were burned out, and the little ghosts scrambled to get into their own graves, Aunt Li did not appear.
My mother slapped her head and said, "Oh no, Sister-in-law Li didn't return to the grave."
The second uncle also nodded seriously: "She is no longer a simple evil ghost."
I looked at my mother, then at my second uncle, and asked doubtfully: "What is Aunt Li?"
"Half ghost, half demon, too much resentment."
"Why?"
"Do you remember that hanged ghost? Most ghosts want to return to their own graves to replenish their yin energy."
"But when Aunt Li had no grave before, she was fine."
"That's because there is a teacher in your family who sees her as kind-hearted, so he protects her!"
The second uncle bent down and grabbed my wrist, his face almost wrinkled: "Yun girl, the last time I saw you, Aunt Li, you were covered in black smoke. It was different from other cigarettes. It was the kind that was thicker than hair."
Hei, the one who wants to wrap up your Aunt Li quickly?"
My second uncle grabbed my wrist and it hurt a little.
I remembered Aunt Li's face that was licked by the black smoke when she was standing at the door of her house talking to me yesterday.
There was a vague premonition in my heart: "Yes."
My mother immediately stood up, patted her dew-stained trousers, hurriedly put away her things, and spoke quickly: "No, if I really become a demon, my desire to kill will be unstoppable. I have to go home as soon as possible and tell
