Liu Cuixia looked at the curtains in horror, not caring about the disagreement with her mother-in-law anymore. She reached out and grabbed Old Lady Ge's arm: "Mom, look, look, the ghost is here again. No one moved the curtains, and they opened by themselves."
Old Mrs. Ge had never seen such a scene before. How could the curtains move by themselves?
Then I saw a pot of flowers on the windowsill slowly rise up, then the pot tilted and fell to the ground with a bang.
The noise startled Liu Cuixia and Old Lady Ge so much that they jumped to the ground.
Mo Mo grabbed his little ears and watched quietly, seemingly not affected at all.
Old Lady Ge now believed that there was a ghost in the house, but she had lived for decades and was quite brave. She cursed at the curtains: "Where did you come from, you wild ghost? How dare you come out to scare people? I am not afraid of you! If you find out, I will open your coffin and expose your old bones."
"You don't want to be a ghost from the underworld, but you come to the world of the living to scare people. Just wait, I won't let your soul fly away. You can't even be a ghost. My last name is not Chen."
He kept cursing for half an hour, using all sorts of nasty and threatening words.
Mrs. Ge felt her mouth dry and her throat was smoking from scolding, but she still felt unsatisfied. She stood with her hands on her hips and stared at the curtains: "I don't believe it. I can see ghosts in broad daylight."
There is an old saying that ghosts are afraid of the sun. It is noon now. If a ghost dares to do something wrong, it must be an evil ghost.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Ge became suspicious again. Was it because they saw it wrong? Was it the wind?
But it's impossible. The weather is good today and there is not even a trace of wind outside. My heart skips a beat. Could it be a ghost?
Thinking of this, Old Lady Ge broke out in a cold sweat. What kind of evil thing had she run into that could attract evil spirits?
Old Lady Ge walked out immediately: "I'll go call the fortune teller to come and take a look."
Liu Cuixia hurried over and grabbed Old Lady Ge: "Mom, you can't leave. You can't go to find Aunt Six. Ge Jun said that no one should know about this child at home, and it was also Ge Jun's idea to adopt the child."
Old Lady Ge stopped and asked suspiciously, "Why can't anyone know about the child you picked up?"
Liu Cuixia opened her mouth, but couldn't find an excuse, so she just pushed the blame onto her husband: "Ge Jun won't let anyone know anyway, you can ask him when the time comes."
Although Mrs. Ge hated her son for not wanting to divorce this woman, she did not dare to interfere too much in his other decisions. After all, she was counting on her son to take care of her in her old age.
After hearing what Liu Cuixia said, he stopped and thought for a while: "Then I will go buy some red paper and Bagua mirrors, nail Bagua mirrors on the doors and windows, and then paste red paper on them. I will see how powerful this ghost is. Oh, and I will also go and pick some peach wood branches."
As soon as she said it, Old Lady Ge went to the corner of the yard, quickly tore down several peach tree branches, tied them together, and whipped them everywhere, cursing as she whipped them: "I'll see where you can hide. I'll beat you to death, you shady things. You deserve to be ghosts for the rest of your lives instead of being reincarnated as humans."
Mixed in with a lot of vulgar country swear words.
He also waved it around Liu Cuixia.
Momo sat on the bed, with his two short legs curled up, soles of his feet facing each other, and he grabbed his ears, looking at the two people on the ground in a very cute manner.
His big eyes were full of confusion, but he wanted to pee.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he crawled to the bed, turned over and tried to climb down.
Liu Cuixia saw it from the corner of her eyes and quickly went over to pick up Mo Mo: "Where are you going? Don't run around."
Mo Mo's face flushed red, and he struggled to get off the ground by pulling his pants. But Old Lady Ge was more experienced. She looked at the child's flushed face and said, "Do you want to pee?"
Liu Cuixia just remembered that she seemed to have not been to the toilet since this morning. She hurriedly carried Momo to go out, but was suddenly stopped by Old Lady Ge: "Wait a moment."
Liu Cuixia was a little puzzled and looked back at Old Lady Ge: "I'll take him to pee."
Old Lady Ge pointed to the window and said, "Boys' urine wards off evil spirits. Just let him pee by the window."
Liu Cuixia carried Momo to the window...
Old Mrs. Ge asked Liu Cuixia to stay at home while she went to buy red paper and a Bagua mirror.
Liu Cuixia didn't dare to stay in the house, so she immediately carried Momo to the yard and sat down in a corner. Occasionally, she could hear the sounds of people walking and talking outside, so she was no longer afraid.
Fortunately, the child is well-behaved and does not cry or make a fuss when being held like this.
Momo sat on Liu Cuixia's lap, very quiet, but he was very sad in his heart, because he missed his mother so much.
I looked down at the place where I fell just now, and my palms were still red. I really wanted my mother to blow on them.
Liu Cuixia was also in a daze, thinking about these abnormalities, and still had some doubts in her heart. They had lived in this yard for many years and it had always been peaceful. She had never heard of any accidents happening in any of the neighbors' homes. How could there be ghosts?
Just as I was in a daze, my arm was patted by a small hand. I looked down and saw Momo's little hand pointing at the wall. I looked up instinctively and saw a woman in red clothes standing on the wall, or to be more precise, floating there.
His face was pale, his eyes were enlarged with only the white of his eyeballs, there were bloodstains at the corners of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was smiling eerily.
When Liu Cuixia looked over, the woman on the wall moved and slowly raised one hand. The pale hand raised up, and her long nails could be seen.
Liu Cuixia felt as if her neck was strangled. Without even a scream, she fell straight back.
Mo Mo was thrown down again, but this time he cleverly grabbed Liu Cuixia's clothes and slowly rolled down from her to the ground. He sat up again, looked at the person on the wall, blinked his eyes, and the woman in red disappeared.
Mo Mo turned his head to look at Liu Cuixia who was lying motionless on the ground, then moved closer, touched her eyes with his hand, crawled to his feet, clapped his hands, and blew on them to his mouth.
Then he ran towards the gate, stopped after a few steps, and looked back at Liu Cuixia.
He scratched his little ears and ran towards the door again, but the door was locked from the outside. He was too small to push it, let alone pull it open.
Momo was anxious and slammed the door with his little hands, but his strength was not as great as Anan's, so the sound was not loud enough.
A neighbor passing by heard the noise in the yard, looked at the locked door, and said to her husband curiously, "Hasn't there been no one at Ge Jun's house these past two days? Why is there a noise in the yard?"
The man didn't take it seriously: "How could there be no one here? At noon, I saw smoke coming out of the chimney."
The female neighbor simply stopped and listened carefully to the noise in the yard. This time she really heard the knocking on the door, and saw a short figure through the crack of the door.
"Yes, there is a child knocking on the door, but when does Ge Jun's family have a child?"
The male neighbor also saw it clearly this time and was wondering when Ge Jun's family would have a child?
I walked towards the door, wondering...
