With this feeling of doubt, I slowly approached the woman in red hanging on the tree.
I looked at her from below. The hair and nails of the woman in red were very long. They should have grown back after death.
A gust of wind blew gently, and the body hanging on the tree rippled like the hands of an old-fashioned wall clock.
This atmosphere is very strange and makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"Yeah..."
The branch with the woman in red hanging on it couldn't bear the weight of the woman in red for a while, and made a "clucking" and "clacking" sound.
The sound was not loud originally, but it seemed very empty in the silent woods.
The face of the woman in red on the tree was obscured by her long hair, making it impossible for me to see her face clearly.
It stands to reason that every dream has its own meaning and indicates what is about to happen in the real world.
For example, if a pregnant woman dreams about snakes, it means that the child she is about to give birth to will be a boy, because snakes are little dragons. Dreaming about snakes naturally means that the child she is about to give birth to will be a boy.
Another example is dreaming about losing your hair or getting your hair cut.
Cutting your hair means forgetting the past and starting a new life. You are tired of your current material life and want to cut it off once and for all. The process of cutting your hair represents your determination. If you feel depressed and regretful, it is likely that you are dissatisfied with your current life.
Things you are about to give up involve helplessness, such as work or love. You have the idea of giving up, but you are still hesitating.
But not only did I have a serial dream, but I also dreamed of a woman in red who hanged herself to death. What does this mean?
Is it because I am a Maoshan Taoist priest who catches too many ghosts in my daily life? I think about it day by day and dream about it at night, so I dream about female ghosts. And this also indicates that I will encounter ghosts in the future.
If that's the case, it fits my identity quite well.
After all, because the yang energy in my body is too strong, my grandfather has already predicted that I will not encounter all kinds of evil spirits in my life. This is my destiny!
I looked at the female corpse in the book with all kinds of boredom, thinking whether I should wake up from this dream waiting for me next, or should I do something else?
Bangdang...
Just when I was thinking about this problem, the branch on which the woman in red was hanging finally couldn't bear her weight, and the woman in red suddenly fell to the ground.
The woman in red fell to the ground with a loud noise, and the fallen leaves on the ground were splashed up.
She fell at my feet, and I was startled without noticing.
However, before I could recover, something even weirder happened next.
The woman in red lying on the ground suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes glowing red, staring at me.
This sudden change caught me off guard. I almost lost my balance and fell to the ground when I was distracted.
The woman in red stood up slowly, and then walked towards me. I subconsciously touched my body, but I didn't touch anything. Only then did I discover the yellow cloth bag that my grandpa who I had always relied on gave me.
It's not on me.
I was really panicking now. I had nothing in my hand, so what could I do to resist the woman in red in front of me?
I kept retreating behind me, but the woods were so big, where could I hide even if I kept hiding?
"Jie Jie..." the woman in red suddenly laughed strangely.
I felt a thump in my heart, the situation was really not good for me now.
When the woman in red was only a short distance away from me, she suddenly stopped and stared at me with her eyes.
"Jiejie..."
One after another, strange laughter kept coming from the throat of the woman in red.
And her voice got louder and louder, the woods just beat like this, and the echo reverberated in the air.
All the birds in the tree were so startled that they flew up one after another.
I couldn't stand the harsh sound and subconsciously covered my ears.
But this voice seemed to have a penetrating magic power. Even though I covered my ears tightly, the voice of the woman in red still came in.
I was a little flustered for a moment, my head was in a whirl, and everything in front of me was spinning.
"Jiejie..."
The voice of the woman in red is still ringing, a magical sound that can disturb people's heartstrings.
"Ah..." Finally I couldn't bear it anymore and shouted out.
"Dongfang, what's wrong with you?"
I felt someone calling my name next to me and giving me a gentle push.
I slowly opened my eyes, and everything familiar in front of me came into my sight. I, the woods, and the woman in red had all disappeared. I was still at Sister-in-law Gu's house.
But I wasn't lying on the sofa in the living room like I did when I fell asleep at night, but I was lying on the floor in the living room.
The loach was right next to me looking at me.
I rubbed my eyes and stood up from the ground.
"Dongfang, did you have a nightmare last night?" Loach asked me.
I nodded blankly, "I had a nightmare, and the nightmare was messy."
Now I think about the dream I mentioned last night, and it feels strange no matter how I think about it.
"Then what exactly did you dream about?" Loach patted me on the shoulder, looking like a curious baby.
I waved my hand towards the loach, "Forget it, it wasn't a good dream, and the dream was so vague that I don't know how to tell you specifically?"
Loach curled his lips, looking dissatisfied and unhappy, but seeing that I was unwilling to say anything, he didn't continue to ask any more questions.
"Zhao Dongfang, Lin Qiu, it's time to have breakfast!" Sister-in-law Gu urged us.
"Forget it, let's go have breakfast quickly! We'll talk about other things later." With that said, Loach walked towards the dining table.
I shook my head and temporarily put all other thoughts behind me. After walking to the bathroom to wash up, I went to have breakfast.
Breakfast is still very simple, no different from last night, but Sister-in-law Gu made an extra stir-fry, tomatoes and eggs.
Everyone was sitting around the dining table, and all of us, including Gu Ning, lowered our heads and ate quietly.
Although Gu Ning doesn't know about the ghost child yet, the incident involving Fang Ziyue in their school has always made her worried.
Therefore, her mood seemed very low.
"Hey, you are all eating!"
At this moment, someone walked in from outside the house. We followed the sound and looked over. It was none other than the first person we met when we first arrived in this village, the village chief Lu Changqing.
Lu Changqing walked towards us with his hands behind his back and a smile.
I'm a little surprised, it seems that all the village cadres like to maintain this posture.
"Village Chief, is there something wrong with you coming to my place?" Sister-in-law Gu asked.
"It's nothing!" Lu Changqing still maintained a faint smile on his face, "I arranged for Zhao Dongfang to stay at your place. I came here specifically to see if they are used to living here?"
"We live very well here, and Sister-in-law Gu takes good care of us..." Lao Bai put down the chopsticks in his hand and replied.
Lao Bai is telling the truth. He is the one who lives the most comfortable life in Lujiacun.
He always eats and drinks well. He eats the most at almost every meal and is very cheerful.
In his words, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it will be straight from the bridge to the bow of the boat." A happy day is a day, and an unhappy day is also a day. Why not live every day happily?
He was already chubby, but he seemed to have gained a lot of weight not long after living in Lujiacun.
Lu Changqing nodded, "As long as you get used to it!"
"Village chief, why don't you stay and eat with us!" Mrs. Gu stood up and went to get another set of dishes and chopsticks.
Lu Changqing stretched out her hand to stop Mrs. Gu, "No, you guys eat slowly! I'll leave first if I have something else to do!"
Since Lu Changqing has something to do, we will not retain him.
But the moment Lu Changqing turned around, I suddenly felt that Lu Changqing's back was a little familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before.
It seems... the same as the fleeting masked figure I saw last night!
