Big ghosts and little ghosts sit in a row

On the dark and long street, there are only the footsteps of the old man and the sound of the clapper.

The Li couple hugged the dying baby and kowtowed in front of Lu Ban. The little boy didn't understand the situation, so he huddled in Lu Ban's arms and was at a loss. Lu Ban comforted the little boy, drinking peacefully Tea.

"Boom!——Boom! Boom!" Three clappers sounded, which meant that the third watch had arrived.

In the past, at this time, the old man would shout, "It's all right."

But this time the old man shouted: "Big ghosts and little ghosts sit in a row—"

There were three bangs again.

The figure of the old man gradually disappeared at the end of the long street, but the shout was still echoing.

"Big ghosts and little ghosts sitting in a row—"

At this time, the sky became gloomy, the moon disappeared, and a strange wind blew up the quiet long street. The sound of the wind was like the groaning of a dying person, and the drizzle drifted away. The dark night sky was connected with this lightless town. , I can only see the fire from the palace being sent to some official mansion in the distance.

After a moment of darkness, a few fireflies suddenly floated in the room, gathering more and more, turning into floating phosphorous fire, which replaced the moonlight and illuminated the whole room.

Only then did Xiaotong stick out his head that was shrunk in Lu Ban's arms because he was afraid of the dark.

Mrs. Li and his wife were already terrified, they shrank together and trembled, and Mrs. Li even yelled like crazy.

"As the saying goes, don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. What did you two do that you shouldn't do?"

Li Si was already terrified, his face was covered with sweat, and his lips were trembling constantly.

Lu Ban continued: "Little Tong has a beggar playmate named Xiao Huadie, who is the same age as him, and they often play together, and later bought by Tong's mother, who became Tong's personal maid, but after the mother and son were sold, I don't know where you are, where are the two people?"

Li Si raised his head suddenly, stared at Lu Ban with wide eyes, then suddenly pushed Mrs. Li away, and pointed at her: "It's all her! It's this stinky bitch who did it! It's none of my business! She killed him! It's her!" She killed it!"

Mrs. Li bit her lower lip, looked at Lu Ban in horror, shook her head stiffly, her trembling hands couldn't hold onto the baby, and the baby rolled to the ground, she trembled all over, stood up, her hands twitching Then, whispered: "It's not me, I didn't do it on purpose... It was that girl who bit me, that's why I... I..."

"Little girl, can she withstand your blow?" Lu Ban interrupted Mrs. Li, put the little boy down from her lap, and walked in front of Mrs. Li, "Today I brought Tong here to break karma, where is that girl's bones?"

Seeing Lu Ban approaching, his face suddenly looked like a rakshasa ghost, Mrs. Li was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, in a state of madness, speechless.

Seeing her like this, Li Si immediately said: "In the backyard...buried next to the yellow flowers in the backyard..."

At this moment, a strange sound came from the backyard.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Like the sound of kicking a shuttlecock.

After a few sounds, an ethereal girl's voice sounded: "Big flower drum, Yanghua fan, a shuttlecock kicked in half, turning inside and outside, eight immortals crossing the sea, 99, one hundred."

Both Li Si and Mrs. Li fell silent, staring at the Caimen leading to the backyard with pale faces.

Hearing this voice, Xiaotong immediately opened the firewood gate and ran out, shouting happily: "Little Huadie! Is that you?"

It was drizzling outside, Lu Ban stepped out and covered the boy's head with his sleeves, there was a cluster of yellow flowers in the corner of the yard, emitting light, a little girl with fluorescent lights was kicking the shuttlecock, when she saw the boy coming out, she stopped Down the action.

"Master Tong, you are back." Xiao Huadie saluted the little boy respectfully.

Xiao Tong happily ran up to hug her, but was grabbed by Lu Ban. Xiao Tong gave Lu Ban a sad look, and when he turned to look at Xiao Huadie, he found that the light on Xiao Huadie's body was drifting away.

Although Xiaotong couldn't figure out why this happened, he knew that Xiaohuadie was disappearing.

"Master Tong, Xiao Huadie finally waited for you to come back, it's great to see you."

"Little Huadie..." Xiao Huadie has been begging on the street since she was a child. Seeing that she was pitiful, Xiao Tong became friends with her. Later, her mother bought her and asked her to be Xiao Tong's personal girl. Xiao Tong always regarded her as his own sister and was with her. Very good, take her with you wherever you go, except for that one time...

When Xiaotong was seven years old, Xiaotong's uncle Li Si came to visit and took Xiaotong's mother out of the house. Xiaotong thought it was strange and wanted to sneak out to have a look. At that time, Xiaohuadie wanted to follow, so Xiaotong asked Xiaohuadie to wait at home He, he'll be back soon.

Unexpectedly, Xiaotong's uncle, Li Si, stunned his mother and sent his mother into a carriage. Xiaotong was also discovered, and was sold to human traffickers by his uncle. After leaving, he never saw his mother again. I have never been back to this home...

Poor little Huadie was also killed by the Li couple, and her soul lingers on, waiting for Xiaotong's return.

"Master Tong, little Huadie is leaving..."

"Go? Where are you going? You can't go..." The little boy panicked, afraid that the little flower butterfly would disappear before his eyes.

"Little Huadie is very happy to meet Young Master Tong. If there is an afterlife, Xiao Huadie still wants to..."

"Little Huadie, it's time." Lu Ban interrupted Xiao Huadie's words, and the sound of clappers sounded from nowhere. He whispered in Xiaotong's ear, "Tong, say goodbye to her and let her go on the road without worries."

The fluorescent light had drifted away, and Xiao Huadie's body was already broken, so Xiao Tong opened his voice and shouted: "Little Huadie—you have to be happy—"

Satisfied, Xiao Huadie squinted her eyes and laughed, and soon there was no movement here. The little boy lowered his head, sobbing, then turned around and hugged Lu Ban and cried loudly.

Lu Ban stroked the little boy's head, and said softly: "If this cause and effect is broken, she will be fine in the next life."

Xiao Tong tightly grasped Lu Ban's clothes, choked with sobs: "Will she really live well?"

"Yes, it will." Lu Ban comforted the little boy, and coldly glanced at the Li couple who were watching at the door, "Then it's time to settle down here."

Two tragic screams tore through the sky, Lu Ban hugged the boy, covered his body with his robe, walked out of the house, closed the door of the house, stood in the middle of the street, and looked straight into the distance.

He said with a light smile, "The gate of hell has opened..."

There was a gust of gloomy wind on the street, and the doors and windows of every house were jingled. The prime minister's mansion received the fire from the palace, and the whole house was lit up, but a black shadow jumped over the roof and jumped. , disappeared into the darkness.

And at the end of the dark long street, a little light came on, and the old man who was on watch lit up the lantern in his hand, walked out of the shadow step by step, stood in front of the prime minister's mansion, and stared at the two big lanterns for a long time.

There was another strange cold wind, and some strange phosphorous flames floated around the lantern. The old man who was working the watch carefully stroked the lantern, as if saying something, then turned and left, and walked on the long dark street.

At the end of the darkness, there seems to be a woman crying, and there seems to be a child laughing.

There was an old man's long sigh, followed by a bang.

"Boom!—Boom! Boom!"

"Big ghosts and little ghosts sitting in a row—"
