As soon as the Niu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw her come out, they immediately came over to greet her.
"Let's go." Zhang Meng looked at them both indifferently.
After saying goodbye to Grandma Zhang, Zhang Meng followed the two of them over the mountain behind Zhangjia Village, and then walked along a not very flat mountain road before reaching Niujia Village.
The Niu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law brought her to a weed-covered house in the east of the village.
Because the house had been burned, the walls were pitch black and the roof had been burned away long ago. Whenever the wind blew, it looked like someone was crying around the house.
"This house is very weird. People who passed by here before often heard someone crying inside. I heard it is haunted." Grandma Niu said with trembling lips.
Zhang Meng didn't look at her, but moved his fingers, counted a few times, and suddenly reached into his backpack, took out a Bagua mirror and walked inside.
The Niu family's daughter-in-law clung to her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, should we go in and take a look? I'm so scared."
As soon as she came in, she felt that the place was very uncomfortable and cold everywhere.
Granny Niu immediately looked at her with some displeasure, "Do you still want to save our Xiaozhi?"
The Niu family's wife nodded vigorously immediately, "Of course I did."
"If you want, come in." As soon as she finished speaking, Granny Niu took a deep breath and followed Zhang Meng with big strides.
On the other side, Zhang Meng took the Bagua mirror in her hand and came to a room that was not burned as seriously. This room was completely different from the ones they saw when they came in. It looked like someone was living in this house.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Niu family who followed in saw this and exclaimed, "Where did this room come from? I've been to this place before and I've never seen it before."
As Granny Niu finished her story, she suddenly screamed and ran to the other corner of the room. "Xiaozhi, grandma's Xiaozhi, why are you here?"
It turned out that there was a little boy sitting in the corner, eating cow dung and crawling earthworms.
This little boy was none other than Xiaozhi, whom Zhang Meng and the others were looking for.
Xiao Zhi, whose eyes were a little dazed, quickly regained consciousness after being shaken by his grandmother. He called out to Granny Niu who was holding him, "Grandma."
When Granny Niu saw that her grandson called her grandma, she was so happy that she responded several times.
"Xiaozhi, why did you come to this place alone? Do you know that grandma and mom have been looking for you for a long time?"
The Niu family's daughter-in-law came over and went in with her son a little angrily.
Xiao Zhi shrank his neck and whispered, "Xiao Hong brought me here. She said she had some delicious food at home for me, so I came here."
"Where can I find the delicious food?" The wife of the Niu family looked around the room. It was empty except for a small table with a dirty and rotten doll on it.
"It's right here." Xiao Zhi happily raised the cow dung egg in his hand.
When the Niu family’s wife saw this, she covered her mouth with her hands and turned her head away and started vomiting.
Xiao Zhi frowned at the sight of his own mother, lowered his head, and was startled. He threw the baby away and threw himself into Granny Niu's arms, "Grandma, I'm scared."
Granny Niu glanced at the things on the ground, frowned, and quickly comforted her frightened grandson in her arms, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, grandma is here."
The Niu family's wife immediately looked at Zhang Meng and shouted at her in surprise, "Master Zhang! What on earth is going on?"
Zhang Meng glanced at the things on the ground with a serious face. To the person with his eyes blinded by ghosts, these were just rice and noodles.
"Xiaozhi, right? How much of this did you eat?" Zhang Meng immediately looked at the little boy nestled in Granny Niu's arms.
The little boy was probably frightened. His face was very pale and he looked a little listless. “I ate a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, and then you came in, grandma.”
Granny Niu knows something about this kind of thing.
According to the old people, if a person is hidden by a ghost and eats the food prepared by the ghost, the more he eats, the slimmer the chance of his soul returning.
"Master Zhang, will my grandson be okay if he eats a little?" Granny Niu immediately looked at Zhang Meng who was silent.
Zhang Meng nodded and immediately took out a talisman from her backpack and handed it to Granny Niu. "Burn this talisman into a cup of water and give it to him to drink. He'll be fine after he vomits. The ghost hasn't come back yet, so you should leave here quickly."
When the Niu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard this, they hesitated at first.
Granny Niu looked at Zhang Meng worriedly, "Master Zhang, what about you?"
"I'll meet this little ghost girl here for a while. Your grandson has escaped now, which is equivalent to angering her. If you don't take her in, all the children in your village will be in danger."
When Granny Niu heard the seriousness of the matter, her face turned pale and she solemnly asked, "Master Zhang, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter."
Zhang Meng glanced at her and said calmly, "Even if you didn't ask me to do this, I would still do it. Since I'm in this line of work, I should fulfill my responsibilities. Let's go. I think this little ghost girl will be back soon. It will be too late if we don't leave now."
The Niu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were so scared that they didn't dare to stay here any longer. After saying take care to Zhang Meng, they hurriedly walked back home the same way they came.
Zhang Meng took a look at the room and guessed that it was where the little girl lived before she died.
I walked around the room and finally found a half-burned and slightly yellowed photo under the small table.
The photo shows a family of three, and they look very warm and cozy.
Just as Zhang Meng was looking at this photo, she suddenly felt the temperature around the room begin to drop, as if the whole room was covered with a layer of ice.
"Where is my friend? Who took my friend away?" At this time, a little girl about 1.2 meters tall floated in from the door. She was wearing red clothes and red shoes, and had two delicate braids. But her face was pale and looked a little creepy.
"It was you who let my friend go, wasn't it?" The little girl quickly stared at Zhang Meng.
Being stared at like that, Zhang Meng felt a chill down her spine. She forced herself to calmly answer, "Little sister, you and that Xiao Zhi are from different worlds. You can't leave him here, understand?"
The little girl felt a little aggrieved. "Why? I'm all alone, with no friends to play with. I'm so pitiful. I didn't do anything wrong. I just wanted to find a friend to play with me. Is this wrong?"
Just as Zhang Meng was thinking about how to comfort the little ghost, the little ghost girl suddenly laughed and stared at him with a pair of red eyes. "But now I have changed my mind. I find that Xiao Zhi is not fun at all. I prefer playing with my sister. Sister, why don't you stay and play with me, okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the ghostly aura of the little girl suddenly increased, and it floated towards her.
