Chapter 60 Chapter 58: The Ghost in the Darkness

This night is destined to be an extraordinary night for Woniu Village.After Zhang Yaoye was taken away by Wu Zhangkui, the company commander of the militia, the people in the village seemed to have lost their backbone, and anxiety spread in everyone's heart.Zhang Ziheng went to the dam of the ancestral hall to say hello, then went to the brigade headquarters to inquire about the news, and did not return until evening.This makes the people in Woniu Village feel that they have lost their only spiritual support. The people in the village gathered on the dam, anxiously surrounding the fire to warm up. No one was in the mood to speak, only the whirring of the flames and the soft sound of sparks exploding in the fire.

The winter nights are cold and lonely.This is a long torment and waiting... The pale moonlight peeked out from the gaps in the dark clouds, and the cold brilliance painted Woniu Village with a layer of desolation.The Zhang Family Ancestral Hall was also shrouded in this bleak moonlight, revealing a bit of mystery and desolation. In the courtyard of Zhang Yaoye's house, it seemed even more quiet and deserted.The gate was closed tightly, and Heizi was lying in the kennel outside the gate with ears stretched out, and a pair of dark eyes watching the surrounding movement vigilantly. Granny Zhang and Bai Xiaoyang were staring at the dim kerosene lamp in the room without falling asleep.

Bai Xiaoyang looked at Granny Zhang with a sad face, her expression was quiet and soft, and she said to Granny Zhang: "Grandma Yao, you should go to sleep peacefully first. Brother Ziheng went to the brigade headquarters, and Master Yao won't be too big." things." Granny Zhang shook her head, didn't speak, just staring at Doudian's kerosene lamp in a daze. At this time, Heizi outside the gate let out two barks, the barks were short and rapid, obviously a stranger had alarmed it. Bai Xiaoyang whispered, "Grandma Yao, there seems to be someone outside the house!"

Granny Zhang also became alert and said, "Is Master Yao back?" Bai Xiaoyang shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Heizi wouldn't call Yao Ye that way when he came back." Saying that, Bai Xiaoyang blew out the kerosene lamp beside the bed, and the room was suddenly pitch black. Bai Xiaoyang listened to the movement outside with his sensitive ears. Heizi barked twice more. Granny Zhang on the bed couldn't bear her temper and wanted to get up and get out of bed to watch the movement outside.In the dark, Bai Xiaoyang held Granny Zhang's hand and said softly, "Grandma Yao, keep quiet."

At this time, there was a sound of "meow-woo" under the window. Granny Zhang whispered, "It's a cat!" Bai Xiaoyang in the darkness didn't make a sound. "Meow - woo -" Another sound... Granny Zhang said tremblingly, "It's not a cat, it's a human!" Bai Xiaoyang in the darkness still didn't make a sound. Suddenly, there was another short "hee hee hee" weird laughter from under the window. Granny Zhang immediately had goosebumps all over her body, she instinctively shouted out the window and asked tremblingly, "Who?"

The people outside laughed a few more times, and then a person roared hoarsely under the window sill: "Grandma Yao, there are ghosts in the southeast—Grandma Yao, there are ghosts in the southeast—" When Granny Zhang heard the voice, she was so angry that she almost jumped out of bed.She loudly cursed at the pretender hiding under the window: "Zikun, you are scary when you come out in the middle of the night! Seeing that your master knows, I won't peel your skin." Zhang Zikun giggled even more strangely under the window outside. Granny Zhang got up in the dark and got out of bed, and said, "It's midnight, you turned into a ghost to scare Granny Yao, and see if Granny Yao doesn't break your dog legs."

Granny Zhang put on her clothes and got out of bed, groping in the dark to find Zhang Zikun's belongings at the corner of the door.But Zhang Zikun outside ran across the courtyard with a grin, opened the gate, and ran away in a hurry.Heizi barked barkingly, making the chains that tied it rattle. Bai Xiaoyang said in the dark: "Grandma Yao, don't chase her away, she has already run away." But Granny Zhang said, "I have to push the door shut." As she said that, she opened the door and walked out. At this time, Heizi suddenly barked even more frantically. As soon as Bai Xiaoyang heard Heizi's cry, he knew that although Zhang Zikun had run away, another stranger had come, so he hurriedly got out of bed with his clothes on.

Before Bai Xiaoyang had time to go out, she saw a thin figure nimbly squeezed in from the door of the main room by the clear light of the moonlight streaming in from outside the door. Bai Xiaoyang shouted alertly: "Who?" The thin figure did not answer Bai Xiaoyang, but walked into the room a few steps from the main room. There was no light on, and the room was very dark. Bai Xiaoyang clearly felt that the figure had walked in front of him. Bai Xiaoyang shouted again in a warning voice: "Don't come here! Who are you?" The figure finally stopped in front of Bai Xiaoyang, and said in a cold voice: "You don't know me, but I know you!"

Bai Xiaoyang retreated towards the bed instinctively, trying hard to distinguish the general appearance of the person coming in the dark, but the only small window was blocked by Granny Zhang with a bamboo hat, and the clear light of the moon in the main room could not go around. Slip in through the door of the room.There was hardly a trace of light in the room, Bai Xiaoyang couldn't see the slightest appearance of the person who came, it was like a ghost that was within reach hidden in the darkness! The figure in the darkness said again: "I really don't have any malicious intentions, I'm just here to get what I want."

Bai Xiaoyang asked calmly, "What is it?" "The things your father asked you to bring to Woniu Village!" "Who are you?" "Your father will tell you who I am!" Bai Xiaoyang said: "My father never told me what he owed anyone." The visitor sneered and said, "Bai Xiaoyang, you are a smart person. I only take what I want. If you give me what you want, nothing will happen. If you are still lucky, then Don't blame me for disrespecting you, a confinement woman." What Bai Xiaoyang is worried about now is not his own safety, but the safety of Granny Zhang outside.So she asked Heiying, "What did you do to Grandma Yao?"

Hei Ying said gloomyly: "I just put her to sleep temporarily. Don't worry, if you want to sleep like her, I can do it too." "You dare!" Although Bai Xiaoyang's voice was not loud, it was full of stubbornness and strength. Hei Ying sneered and said: "In this world, why dare not? Your father is really stubborn, and he did not hesitate to include you. Why bother? In fact, he should know better than anyone else. Taking a step back, the sea and the sky, some As long as things are gently let go, it may be a different world, so why cling to an empty belief! What should I say about his current situation? It may not be appropriate to say that it is his own fault. This belief has killed him! Do you want to follow in your father's footsteps?" Bai Xiaoyang didn't speak, but just stared at the ghost trapped in the darkness. Bai Xiaoyang now really regrets not listening to her father's words. When she broke up with her father secretly in the cowshed, her father warned her that when she arrived in Woniu Village, she must not let Master Tuo leave her unless it was absolutely necessary.And she just ignored her father's words. Seeing that Bai Xiaoyang didn't make a sound, the ghost in the dark said, "I can give you a minute to think about it, you can handle it yourself." At this moment, time froze in the darkness, and the room was surprisingly quiet.This minute seemed extremely long to Bai Xiaoyang.She could clearly feel a pair of evil eyes staring at her coldly in the darkness. Bai Xiaoyang didn't make any small movements, she was also staring at the dim figure in the dark. Finally, the figure in the darkness spoke again: "Okay, one minute is up. I need you to give me a clear answer." Bai Xiaoyang said word by word: "Actually, I don't need to give you any answers, unless you snatch the things from me!" The figure in the darkness sneered a few times, and said, "Bai Ruifeng, you are the one who pushed your precious daughter into this pit of fire. No wonder I show no mercy!" When the words fell, Bai Xiaoyang really felt the figure in the darkness raised his right hand towards her, and she closed her eyes in despair... The moment Bai Xiaoyang closed his eyes, a black figure leaped in from the door of the hall like lightning, stopped abruptly, turned around, and rushed towards the figure in the darkness like a fierce black wind. The figure in the darkness had his back to the door of the room, and he suddenly felt a chilly air flow towards him from his neck, and instinctively turned his head to the side, and the black shadow like a wind ricocheted against his shoulders and jumped past. The figure in the dark was startled into a cold sweat, and Bai Xiaoyang also opened his eyes again.She felt a furry thing standing in front of her feet. It's sunspots! At this time, Heizi looked brave and fierce, his dog eyes gleamed fiercely in the darkness, and his white teeth gleamed coldly! Heizi panted heavily, and let out low barks at the figures in the darkness.At this time, Heizi is no longer a docile dog, but has transformed into a ferocious beast! The air-conditioned room was filled with a strong and cruel atmosphere. The figure in the darkness was angry and furious, and yelled at Heizi, "You bastard, don't you want to get involved too?" Of course Heizi couldn't understand what he said, all he had now was loyalty!Its low bark towards the shadow became more and more fierce and low. At this moment, there was a sound of knocking on the porcelain basin outside the courtyard, and the lunatic Zhang Zikun was knocking on the porcelain basin outside the door while shouting heart-piercingly: "There are ghosts in the southeast—— Ghost-" Zhang Zikun knocked the porcelain basin louder and louder. The knocking sound was dry and hard in the cold air, and it had the penetrating power to shake the eardrum. Woniu Village, which was immersed in darkness, was suddenly shaken by Zhang Zikun's earth-shattering knocking and roaring. The figure in the dark was stunned by Zhang Zikun's crazy movements.He cursed in a low voice: "How could there be such a lunatic in Woniu Village?" After speaking, he stepped out of the door and disappeared outside the main room door like a ghost.But Heizi was barking barking at this moment, and chased him out like an arrow. Bai Xiaoyang in the dark finally breathed a sigh of relief.She felt a little weak all over, and then she remembered to light the kerosene lamp! And Zhang Zikun was still knocking on the porcelain basin outside the patio, as if he was still running back and forth at the gate. "There are ghosts in the southeast—ghosts in the southeast—" Zhang Zikun's eerie roar was particularly frightening in the cold and dark night! The people who were warming around the fire on the dam of the ancestral hall heard Zhang Zikun's knocking sounds and crazy shouts, and all stood up and looked in the direction where Zhang Zikun made the movement. Some people scolded: "Zi Kun is going crazy again! What are you doing in the middle of the night?" Someone who was vigilant immediately reacted: "No, it seems that something happened to Master Yao's house! Zikun is calling from Master Yao's house!" This reminded everyone, and immediately someone yelled: "Something happened to Master Yao's house! Hurry up and have a look!" All the people scrambled to rush towards Zhang Yaoye's house...
