Big ghosts and little ghosts sit in a row

It rained continuously at night, and the wind made strange noises. There were strange noises everywhere in the city and the outskirts. People who did not sleep well hid in their beds and did not dare to make a sound. Only the old man at night was walking on the street.

This old man is over 80 years old and has been working as a watchman here for more than ten years. He works at sunset and rests at sunrise.

But tonight, when the cat saw the old man, it bowed its waist and barked strangely, and when Agou saw the old man, he shrank his head with his tail between his legs.

The old man was carrying a lantern, walking on this deserted street, the flame of the lantern turned blue green, and everywhere he went, there was a cloudy wind. The old man knocked three times and yelled again.

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

In this way, he greeted Lu Ban and Xiaotong head-on.

The old man walked in front of the two of them, and Lu Ban also stopped.The little child was afraid and didn't dare to look at the old man's appearance, so he tightly grasped Lu Ban's arm and shrank behind him.

The old man held up the lamp to shine on Lu Ban's face, then on the boy's face, bowed his head slightly to the two of them, and then brushed past them.

Lu Ban smiled faintly, picked up the little boy, and walked in the middle of the street.

After the old man passed by, the little boy discovered that the place where the old man walked with the lantern was dragging a long firefly, floating and strung together to form a long line. Suddenly, he heard the ringing of a bell, and the two monsters were bouncing towards this side. Come on, these two monsters are Raksha-faced. They both have only one hand and one foot, which are exactly two halves. They even have one eye. Every time they take a step, the bell on their ankle will ring.

And behind him are one white, one black, and two Wuchang. Behind Wuchang are two rows of ghosts, all wearing white gowns, disheveled hair, pale face, and take a step when the bell rings.

Lu Ban carried the child in his arms and walked between the two rows of ghosts. At a glance, the two rows of ghosts reached the end of the long dark street.

The little boy put his head on Lu Ban's chest, and asked softly, "Brother Lu Ban, are they all ghosts? Where are they going?"

Lu Ban covered the boy's head, lowered his head and said, "Shhh—don't worry about them, it will only increase the fate, they have someone to worry about, you don't need to worry about them."

"Then what about my uncle and aunt?"

In that house, both Li Si and Mrs. Li knelt in the yard, begging for forgiveness from Xiao Huadie's corpse, and set up a brazier to burn paper money. Their dead baby came back alive, and they stopped crying and kept quiet. deep sleep.After this night, the Li couple dared not do anything bad in their life.

"Those two people have their own karma..." Lu Ban stopped, stood on the street, and looked up at the sky, "It's already four o'clock."

"Boom—boom! Boom! Boom!"

He had already walked a long way, but suddenly he could hear a very clear sound of clappers, and the old man's voice seemed to be nearby.

"It's freezing—"

With this sound, the surrounding ghosts stopped, and after the old man rang the clapper again, they suddenly jumped around irregularly.

In an instant, the whole street was swept by the cold wind. There were little ghosts sitting on the steps at the door of every house, some lying on their stomachs and peeping inside the window, some jumping non-stop on the tile-roofed houses, and even ghosts on the pillars. Go up the beam.

Seeing such a scene for the first time, Xiaotong kicked his legs, wanting to go down to the ground to look around.

But Lu Ban didn't intend to let him go to the ground at all, he hugged him tightly and continued to walk forward.

"Brother Lu Ban, where are you taking me?"

Seeing that Lu Ban didn't pay attention to him again, Xiao Tong got a little angry and began to struggle, clamoring to get off the ground.

Lu Ban was a little helpless, and carried the little boy on his shoulders. The little boy was so uncomfortable that he patted Lu Ban's back.

"You put me down! Let me down, I want to go by myself!"

Lu Ban supported his forehead and continued walking without making a sound.

And at this moment, a black shadow jumped down from nowhere.

"Let go of that kid!"

The person who came was dressed in night clothes, with a big bag around his waist, covering his face, he could be seen as a practitioner, his voice was reckless but not noisy, and he was upright, all the ghosts and ghosts around this man were far away.

"Hmph! There are thieves like you in this world that cause so many children to wander around the world! You trafficker! Let this child go!"

Lu Ban frowned, and muttered in a low voice: "I came here by myself, could it be fate..."

"Hey! What are you muttering about!"

Lu Ban smiled lightly, and said respectfully: "Why is the strong man still wandering around in the middle of the night, and still dressed like this?"

The man held his head akimbo: "My uncle is doing good deeds, robbing the rich and helping the poor! You thief, let this kid go quickly, or don't blame the uncle for my ruthless fists!" He compared his fists.

Lu Ban clasped his hands to the man and said: "The strong man misunderstood, this child knows me, but he just had to go on a night journey, and he was afraid of tiring the child, so he picked him up."

"Drink! You are an idiot! How can anyone walk down the street with a child in their arms at night! I think you are a human trafficker, huh!" The man put the burden aside, rolled up his sleeves, and made a gesture to fight People, "Master, I have already given you a chance, today I must let you, a dog-like thief, eat your fists!"

The man swung his fist and was about to hit this side, the little boy hurriedly shouted: "No, no! Brother Lu Ban is not a bad person!"

The man stopped attacking, his fist was still raised in the air, and he carefully looked at the landing half.

Lu Ban nodded slightly, held the little boy in his arms again, patted the little boy's head, and said to the man: "The strong man really misunderstood, I just want to take Tong to see his lost mother. He was just joking."

The little boy was overjoyed when he heard what Lu Ban said: "Really! Brother Lu Ban!"

Lu Ban gently poked Xiaotong's nose: "Of course it's true, little idiot, I won't lie to you."

The man glanced at Xiaotong and then at Lu Ban, and then laughed uproariously: "So that's the case! I said it earlier! I almost beat an innocent person, hahaha!" Then he grabbed the burden that was placed on the ground , tidied up his clothes, and bowed to Lu Lu, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, so please forgive me for being rude, hey! Let's do this! I think it's not convenient for you to take a child to drive at night, so it's better for me to protect you." How about you on your way?"

Xiao Tong thought that Lu Ban would refuse, but he did not expect that Lu Ban actually agreed: "Of course it is very good. If you leave this town and go to the western suburbs, you really don't know what you will encounter. With the help of strong men, you can feel at ease on the way."

"Haha! The western suburbs! My family lives in the western suburbs!" The man took off his veil, with a beard attached to his temples. Although he looked fierce, he also had a clean face.He patted his chest and began to say, "My name is Chen Dahu, and I live at Sanchakou in the western suburbs. When you go out from this town, you have to pass a wild cemetery. It's very weird. People die there from time to time. I'm used to walking." , can protect you!"

Lu Ban nodded and smiled at Chen Dahu: "Then I will trouble the strong man." Then he took out a lantern from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Dahu.

Chen Dahu took the lantern boldly: "Haha! You're such a strange guy who didn't light the lantern with you." After lighting the lantern, Chen Dahu laughed and said to them: "Okay! Let's go! I—lead the way!"

All the ghosts on the street were staring at them and the group. At the end of the long street, the old man was also looking at them. The lantern in his hand flickered with the wind blowing. The old man said leisurely,

"Turn out the lights and walk on the sunny road... Light on the lights... Walk on the dark road..."

Then he knocked on the clapper again and shouted, "It's freezing—"
