Hearing the voice behind him, Xu Guodong glanced back subconsciously. When he and Lin Laosan's eyes met, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
They were a pair of eyes with no waves in ancient wells, as deep as two pools of lake water. I don’t know how deep the darkness was. There was no warmth or emotion in these eyes. If he hadn’t been breathing, Xu Guodong would have thought that this was the case.
They are a pair of dead eyes.
People always treat the dead with respect and at the same time keep secrets. Xu Guodong has never really seen the eyes of a dead person. It should be said that he has seen a dead person, but he has never seen what the eyes of a dead person look like.
But at this moment, he already had an answer in his mind: "I'm afraid these are the eyes of a dead person."
The tablet on the table has the words Lin Shiyuan written on it. Xu Guodong, a teacher, would not fail to recognize it, and the voice of the man behind him was so clear that it almost rang in Xu Guodong's ears. What he said was
:"it's me"
These two simple words, in this situation, seem to exude endless chill.
The meaning of these two words is very simple and does not require any professional interpretation at all. It is so simple that even children of several years old can understand what it means in an instant. However, Xu Guodong regrets it very much now. Why did he put forward such a meaning?
one question?
Although he was talking to himself, the situation in front of him clearly meant that he wanted to create a weird atmosphere. Some questions could just be thought about in his mind, so why did he have to ask them?
"What a bad mouth!"
Xu Guodong wished he could give himself a slap in the face, he was so stupid in reading, how could he commit such a brain twitch at this time!
This is obviously the tablet of a person, and it belongs to a dead person. Normally, no living person would enshrine his own tablet, but Lin Laosan actually said that this tablet is his!
"Could it be that Third Uncle is not actually a human being, but a ghost?"
"Ghosts have no shadows, but along the way..." Xu Guodong thought hurriedly. He heard from the elders that ghosts have no shadows, only people do. He hurriedly recalled the scenes that happened after arriving at Laosan Lin's house, and tried his best to
Found a shred of evidence.
Yes, even if you force yourself not to believe in the theory of gods and ghosts, people are like this. When fear really strikes, the more you worry about something, the more you want to hide something. Instead, those thoughts and thoughts will appear in the first place.
It gets into your head for a while!
Xu Guodong was panicking now because he discovered that he had never seen Lin Laosan's shadow since he arrived at Lin Laosan's house!
The weather outside was gloomy and terrible. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The sound of raindrops hitting the doors, windows and roof was like countless children playing, gently tapping every corner of the house with their little hands.
"Gudong"
He swallowed hard, Xu Guodong's neck was very stiff, and it was extremely difficult to turn his head. His arms seemed to be hung with lead weights, and his whole person was like a wood carving and stone sculpture. He stood there, dumbfounded.
Don't dare to move at all.
"No, the third uncle just said that he is Lin Shiyuan, but this does not mean that he is dead!"
After the fear passed, he found that Lin Laosan did not attack him immediately and tore him to pieces. Xu Guodong calmed down and looked at Lin Laosan and found that the third uncle was still breathing.
"Ghosts don't need to breathe. Only living people need to breathe. Yes, that's the case. It must be like that."
After trying his best to comfort himself, Xu Guodong finally recovered a little. These experiences really made him feel like he was on a roller coaster, with ups and downs. He fell into the abyss in one moment and regained his composure in the next second. But in the distance, waiting for him
But it's not just an abyss.
"I'm just trying to scare myself. No, if this continues, I might be scared to death before I know the truth."
Xu Guodong is not a bold person, and after getting married, his cherishment of his family and his love for his children and Lin Juan have become the dominant force in his life. There is no reasonable evidence to supplement his previous speculations, and the current situation is
It's not something he can control.
He wants to live and live well with his family. If his family is really not in danger, then Xu Guodong will be the most afraid of death in the world. But if something goes wrong with Lin Juan and his daughter, I am afraid that he
And the most desperate one.
This is what Xu Guodong is really like as a husband and a father.
The current situation is unpredictable. Xu Guodong speculated that Lin Juan and the child were in danger before, but the chance is not very high. After all, according to Xu Guodong's idea, if you randomly find someone in this village, they might be more useful than him.
In addition to being able to teach people how to read and write, Xu Guodong was really inferior to ordinary farmers in many things.
"Third uncle, then...this is?"
Although it has been confirmed that Lin Laosan is alive, this is not safe. I heard from old Taoists that in this world, like their Taoist school, there are some people who practice evil arts and will go through some cruel and strange rituals.
goal achieved.
Although Xu Guodong thought that all kinds of sorcery were nonsense, after all, he had never seen it with his own eyes, but when he heard the methods of some people who practiced sorcery, he still couldn't help but be afraid.
The old Taoist didn't tell Xu Guodong too much at that time, but only gave a few examples. But these few examples alone kept Xu Guodong awake for two days and two nights. Later, he finally managed to fall asleep. After waking up, he felt like sleeping.
When I think of the things that the old Taoist said, I will unconsciously sigh and say "crazy".
"Could it be that the third uncle is practicing some evil magic? Or is there someone targeting the third uncle?" Xu Guodong felt that his brain was not enough. He did not understand these ghosts and ghosts at all. When he saw this tablet, he
I don’t even know what it means to set up a memorial tablet for a living person.
"No, I can't continue to guess randomly. If this continues, I'm afraid I will go crazy first before things really happen."
Secretly pinching his thigh, the pain made Xu Guodong sober up a lot. He took a step back and glanced outside the door. From the main room, he could see the situation outside the house. The yard was dark, and the bamboo baskets were scattered on the ground. Except for
The sound of rain and no other sounds.
This made Xu Guodong feel a little relieved, but he did not relax completely. There may be too many things hidden in the darkness. In such a ghostly weather and in such an environment, no matter what happens, it is possible.
"nothing"
Lin Laosan responded lightly, and the extremely solemn expression on his face instantly disappeared. Under the weak firelight, Xu Guodong felt that Lin Laosan seemed to smile, but he didn't seem to smile.
A person smiles at his own tablet? What kind of weird situation is that?
"Why doesn't Third Uncle look afraid at all? Could it be that he made this tablet himself?"
Before Xu Guodong could make any other guesses, Lin Laosan stretched out his hand, picked up the tablet made of unknown wood from the small table, and then threw it to the ground.
"Kaka"
There was a cracking sound, and the wooden tablet was broken into two sections in an instant, and countless wood chips were scattered in all directions. In this silent room, the sound of the wooden tablet breaking was particularly harsh.
Lin Laosan's sudden move startled Xu Guodong, but he came back to his senses in the blink of an eye. This time he didn't think much about it. He saw his spiritual tablet inexplicably. Not to mention smashing it, at least he had to
Just vent your anger and fear.
At this time, Lin Laosan should be in an angry state, which made Xu Guodong feel a little relieved. After all, it is much better to be angry and furious sometimes than to be as calm as dead water and not react at all.
But the matter was far from over. Lin Laosan smashed the tablet into pieces, but he picked up the bowl that was originally placed on the small table and enshrined in front of the tablet.
There are still three pillars of yellow incense stuck in the bowl, which have been half burned. I don’t know if it is soil or rice, or just incense ashes. But with Lin Laosan holding it in his hand and carrying it out, Xu Guodong still feels
It was weird for a while.
"What are you going to do now, Third Uncle?" He hurriedly followed and left the house in a few steps. However, Lin Laosan didn't pause for a moment and walked straight into the rain curtain with the bowl in hand.
