Chapter 324 The quality recognized by the Specter (3)
Chen Ge crawled out of the tunnel and looked around.
There are no windows in the house, and a few poultry that have just died not long ago are placed not far from the tunnel entrance.
"Did she use poultry blood? Can this deceive the evil spirits?"
The baby's cry could be vaguely heard in his ears, and Chen Ge followed the stairs to the second floor.
It can be clearly seen that this is a woman's room, with simple furniture in the room. The difference from other courtyards is that there is no coffin parked in this room, but a wooden bed is placed.
Release the thick bed curtain, and there are several bamboo baskets side by side on the wooden bed, and there is a blade of grass on the mouth of each baby in the basket.
The grass leaves seemed to have the effect of calming the mind. Although the babies left their parents, they did not cry too hard.
"Every time this woman surnamed Zhu takes her child away, does she actually want to protect her child?"
Soon Chen Ge found a book under the pillow of the bed, and after opening it, he recorded a personal name and address.
People who write these things may know only limited characters, and symbols are used in many places.
"The woman named Zhu looks only 30 years old outside, but this book is yellow and worn, and it seems like it is something from many years ago." Chen Ge held the book and couldn't understand the words on it, like Chinese characters, but most of them couldn't recognize it: "The address is very vague, but how many people's names can be distinguished. Will they be the rescued children?"
"You are right, they are all children I sent out." An old lady's voice suddenly came from behind, and Chen Ge immediately turned around with the repeater.
"I should be afraid of me, right? Or do you think that my old guy who has half his foot buried in the coffin can bring you a threat?"
It seemed that the sound sounded strange because of the lack of teeth. Singer Chen took the replicator and walked into the room. He saw an old lady with a severely hunched back and wrinkled face in the compartment on the second floor.
She lay on the wooden bed in the compartment, her legs were atrophy, and only her head and one arm could barely move.
"Who are you?" The old man looked very old, and Chen Ge couldn't help but call him "you".
The old man looked at Chen Ge and grinned: "I am a person favored by evil spirits."
Hearing this sentence, Chen Ge's head buzzed, and he was so familiar with the word the old man said!
"You kid makes me feel very friendly. You should have dealt with them too." The old man naturally refers to evil spirits.
"Yes, I not only have dealt with them, but also built a home to take them in."
"Then you are much better than me." The old man tried hard to express his kindness: "Sit down, I didn't hear the door ringing. You should have run in from the tunnel of the ancestral hall. I guess you are going to take the baby away secretly during the sacrificial activities?"
"Yeah, I have this plan." Chen Ge did not approach the old man, but just put down the repeater in his hand.
"As I thought, people who can be favored by evil ghosts must have the qualities that even ghosts recognize." The old man's voice was very plain, but it made people feel comfortable when he heard it.
"Quality recognized by evil spirits?"
"kindness."
The old man nodded effortlessly, and under Chen Ge's questioning, she told the whole story of what happened that year.
It is roughly similar to what A Qing said, the difference is that the evil spirit in the old man's mouth is not uncontrollable killing and revenge, and it seems that there is still a trace of residual emotions.
The old man had saved the female ghost three times, and the female ghost promised to do three things that were not excessive for the elderly.
Usually, they will treat the elderly with special treatment, for example, they will never enter the elderly’s house. When other evil spirits appear in the village, as long as they threaten the elderly’s life, female ghosts will appear and kill them.
"She washed the village bloodily, and no one who commits evil is spared. I can understand all this, and even feel very satisfying. But what happened later made me feel something wrong." The old man was in poor health and had to rest for a while: "A red door appeared in the family where she lived, and only she could push it open."
"After the bloody washing of the village, she let go of her obsession and wanted to leave. Before leaving, she wanted to enter the door and see, but then she saw that there was a problem."
"When she came out of the door again, she was full of hatred and her eyes were full of viciousness. She completely turned into another person."
"I don't know what she encountered in the door, I only know that she was full of malice towards everything. She was ready to imprison the descendants of the evildoers here, so that they could only be monsters for life, and even all normal people were unforgivable in her eyes."
A deep pain appeared in the old man's voice: "I have no ability to stop her, I can only save some innocent children by my own way when she is crazy."
"As you see today, she will wake up once a year and enter the world behind the door. If these children are placed elsewhere, they will be killed by her. Only with me can they be safe."
"After it, as long as she spends this night, she will fall asleep again when she comes out of the door."
The old man didn't know what the world behind the door was. She only knew that the female ghost would go to the world inside the door at this time of year.
"Then why don't you escape? All leave the village." Chen Ge said.
"All people who have drunk well water cannot escape. They will be entangled by her for life. This is also the reason why I only save newborn babies."
"I've been entangled for life? But I heard that more than ten years ago, some people in your village escaped, and they didn't have any accidents." Chen Ge was talking about Jiang Ling's father and others.
"That was an accident. One day more than ten years ago, she didn't come back that night after entering the door."
"The people in the village spent a month worriedly and found that she still hadn't come back. Some people thought she might have died on the other side of the door."
"At that time, there were two kinds of sounds in the village, one was to stay in the mountain village with peace of mind, and the other was to take the opportunity to escape."
"Later, some people with poor physical deformities secretly escaped. Just the third day after they escaped, she came back."
"The people who escaped were my descendants. I begged her to let them go and used two favors to keep them safe for twenty years."
The old man's coughing became more and more severe, and Chen Ge didn't dare to continue asking any more. He had already learned enough from the old man.
"Grandma, you have a good rest and I won't disturb you. I want to take one of those children away. This is my agreement with someone in your village."
Chen Ge turned around and was about to go to the bed to find Aqing's child. Before he could take a few steps, the old man's voice came from behind him: "Actually, there is another thing I have to ask you to come."
"Is it related to the female ghost who jumped into?" Chen Ge had found the baby with copper coins hanging around his neck, and he looked very cute.
