Chapter 438: Ermao successfully drives the corpse and scares his unfilial son
The Ge family lived in an old Shikumen house. They had two rooms. One was a small room where Aunt Ge and her husband lived, and the other was on the second floor where her son and his family of four lived.
Originally, the Ge family was only allocated one room, and Aunt Ge went to the street to make trouble every day, causing the street officials to tremble when they saw her. It had become a conditioned reflex.
In the end, the street compromised and allocated the pavilion to the Ge family.
This room became Aunt Ge's biggest source of confidence. Every time she scolded her husband, she would bring it up and say, "You are such a loser. You can't rely on me for anything. If it weren't for me, would we have two rooms at home?"
There were other people living in the Shikumen house, but they were all asleep, and the whole house was very quiet.
Old man Ge was also asleep. Aunt Ge's body was placed under his bed, but it had no effect on him and he continued to sleep soundly.
Originally, the Ge family wanted to place the body in the courtyard, but other residents strongly opposed it. They had no choice but to place it at home. The curtains were not drawn, and the moonlight shone in, shining on Aunt Ge's face, which was pale and looked eerie and terrifying.
Old man Ge turned over, faced outside the bed, and continued to sleep soundly.
The son and daughter-in-law on the second floor were still awake. They were discussing how to continue to claim compensation from the Luo family tomorrow.
"Give me at least 500 yuan. My mother can't die in vain!" said the son angrily.
"Can the Luo family afford so much money?" The daughter-in-law was skeptical. Five hundred yuan was not a small amount.
"Why can't they come up with it? The Luo family used to be a group of people who only care about appearances. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. How can they not come up with 500 yuan?" The son sneered.
"What if they refuse to take it? They are leaders."
The daughter-in-law was a little worried that Luo Xinxin might not be someone to be trifled with.
"The more powerful you are, the more you want reputation. If you don't get it, you'll make a fuss. Anyway, my mother is dead. It's a fact. We are right. What are we afraid of?"
The son spoke in a very arrogant tone. It was a rare opportunity for his mother to die, so he had to get the 500 yuan. Then, when his two sons grew up, he wouldn't have to worry about the dowry for their wives.
The couple were discussing tomorrow's extortion plan in bed. The more they discussed, the more energetic they became and they had no desire to sleep at all.
Damao and Ermao stood in front of the Shikumen gate, but it was locked and they couldn't get in.
"I just knocked it open with a slight push!"
Ermao was eager to try it out, as it wouldn't take much effort to open such a small door.
"Waking people up to watch you drive the corpse?"
Damao rolled his eyes in annoyance. When he was a child, he always competed with his younger brother. But since he was three years old, he was too lazy to compete.
Even though he defeated his younger brother, he was not too happy, after all, the victory was too easy.
The stupid younger brother couldn't beat him in any other way except being stronger. He didn't want to bully the weak, so he decided to give way.
Damao pushed his brother aside, took out a thin wire from his pocket, poked it into the keyhole and fiddled with it for a few times, then with a click, the lock opened.
"Brother, why are you able to penetrate so quickly, but I can't?"
Ermao was very puzzled. The high priest taught him and his brother, but he still hadn't learned it.
“Because you can knock it out of the way.”
"Yes."
Ermao was comforted immediately. He was strong enough to break the door open easily, so there was no need for him to learn how to unlock it.
Damao shook his head. His stupid brother was so easy to fool. He should take better care of him in the future so that he wouldn't be bullied.
Even if someone bullies him, he is the only one who can bully him!
The couple in the corner were shocked by Da Mao's move. Luo Xinxin poked Li Rong hard and asked in a low voice, "Did you teach him that?"
"How is that possible?"
Li Rong flatly denied it, saying that he himself was not as skilled as his son in using wire to poke.
They both thought of the high priest at the same time. This old and disrespectful guy didn't know what kind of nonsense he taught the children.
They tiptoed into the Shikumen house, not daring to get too close, and Damao was particularly alert.
Damao had checked during the day and found that Aunt Ge's body was placed in the pavilion. He still easily opened the lock with a thin wire. Old man Ge on the bed was sleeping soundly and had no idea.
Seeing Aunt Ge on the ground, Ermao was very excited. He took out a talisman from his pocket, and made gestures with his two chubby paws in a very realistic manner, while reciting some incantations.
After all the procedures were completed, Ermao placed the talisman on Aunt Ge's forehead and shouted, "Get up!"
Aunt Ge, who was lying stiffly, moved a little, but lay down again.
"rise!"
Ermao recited it again, this time with a bigger movement. Aunt Ge sat up, but lay down again.
Damao covered his eyes with one hand, unable to bear to watch.
Although he had never tried the art of corpse-driving, if he tried to learn it, he would definitely be better than his stupid brother.
The main reason why he didn't learn was that driving corpses was too hard work. He was not afraid of anything except suffering, so he was too lazy to learn.
Ermao recited the formula six times, and sweat broke out on the little guy's forehead. Aunt Ge finally stood up and slowly walked in front of the two brothers. Her pale and gloomy face was frightening to look at.
"Walk!"
Ermao pointed forward, and Aunt Ge slowly turned around. Her footsteps were heavy, and she slowly walked out of the room and went upstairs.
"Go downstairs. Who told you to go upstairs?"
Ermao was anxious. He wanted to go for a walk outside and then come back, but there was only a small space upstairs and it was not enough for him to walk around.
But Aunt Ge didn't listen to him. She still went upstairs resolutely and stopped at the door of her son's room. She walked back and forth like an NPC in a rule-based horror story.
This house is very old and the wooden floor is a bit loose. When Aunt Ge walks around, the wooden floor makes a creaking sound, which is particularly creepy in the middle of the night.
The son and daughter-in-law in the room had just finished their discussion and were getting ready for bed. The daughter-in-law, with her sharp ears, heard it first and kicked her husband hard, "What's that noise outside?"
The son yawned and said casually, "A mouse!"
"This rat is really fat, at least three pounds."
There was some envy in the daughter-in-law's tone, thinking that the mice ate better than her.
The couple continued to sleep, but the noise outside became louder and louder, and very regular, as if something was moving back and forth at the door, and the more they listened, the less it sounded like a mouse.
"Go out and take a look. If it's a mouse, chase it away. It's making so much noise that I can't sleep!" The daughter-in-law kicked her husband again.
The son got out of bed cursing and didn't turn on the light. The moonlight was very bright tonight and he could see clearly in the room.
He opened the door and subconsciously looked at the ground, but only saw two bare feet walking back and forth. He was so angry that he started cursing without even raising his head, but the other party kept walking and ignored his scolding.
"Fuck you... Oh my god!"
The son raised his head in anger and saw his mother's pale face. He was so scared that he almost lost two of his souls. The miserable screams were particularly harsh in the middle of the night.
"Mom, I was wrong. Please go down. I will definitely burn lots of gold bars for you!"
The son knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but Aunt Ge remained unmoved and continued to walk back and forth.
"Mom, please don't leave. What have I done wrong for you to come to me in my dreams? Can you please stop scaring me?"
The son was kneeling on the ground shivering. A person who had been dead for a day came back to life in the middle of the night. Was his mother trying to take someone away?
Aunt Ge didn't listen to a word and just kept walking.
"Mom, are you too lonely down there and want my dad to come down and keep you company? Then you have to go downstairs. You've come to the wrong place!"
In order to survive, the son betrayed his father.
The daughter-in-law and two grandsons hid under the bed, not daring to show their heads.
The neighbors were also woken up. When they came out and saw the dead Aunt Ge coming back to life, they were scared to death. After they came to their senses, they immediately closed the doors and windows, and the whole family chanted the Great Compassion Mantra together, hoping to save Aunt Ge's soul.
Everyone woke up except Old Man Ge, who was unaffected and was still sleeping soundly in bed with excellent sleep quality.
