The houses in the countryside are dilapidated because they have not been inhabited for many years.
It seems that Du Simin is getting older and has a lot more white hair.
"Mengmeng, I think you look haggard. What's the matter? Is your mother-in-law not good to you? "
Tong ranmeng shook his head helplessly. "Although she made me uncomfortable in her words, she was very kind to me in my stomach. She ate all kinds of tonics, but..."
"But what?"
"I always saw something unclean last night..."
Facing his mother, Tong ran Meng has nothing to hide. He tells Du Simin everything he sees and hears.
"Oh, Mengmeng, that's a big deal!"
"Mom, don't talk nonsense. I don't believe there are ghosts in the world. Maybe I've been too tired recently and I've had hallucinations." Tong ranmeng put his hair behind his ears.
She was also very guilty when she said that.
"Mengmeng, mom, until you go to college, you don't believe these ghosts and gods, but there are some things you don't believe. I'm afraid you've caused something unclean. There's a goddess in our village. Tomorrow I'll go to her and burn incense for you."
Tong ranmeng nodded dubiously, "that's OK."
After all, Du Simin is old and grew up in the village. She has seen many things about gods and ghosts, but she dare not neglect them at all.
After Tong ranmeng told her, she quickly went to the old lady in the village. When she came back, she gave Tong ranmeng an amulet.
"Mengmeng, shenpo said that she was unjustly killed, and she was not reconciled, so she wanted to take a back seat. You said that this person is really true. Who was she unjustly killed? Who should she go to? How could she find you?"
Tong ranmeng's eyes were a little erratic. Many of the things she did didn't say to her family. After all, the less people knew about this kind of thing, the better.
"however, shenpo said that if you take this amulet, she won't look for you."
That night, Tong ranmeng put the amulet under his pillow, but he really slept all night.
For several days in a row, she was able to sleep peacefully and her mental state improved a lot.
That evening, Tong ranmeng saw Du Simin holding a pile of paper money and some fruits to go out.
"Mom, where are you going?"
"Go to our ancestral grave, burn paper for our ancestors, and offer tribute. Now I don't ask for anything else, just ask your father to come out early."
"Shall I go with you?"
"It's not convenient for you to go to the grave with a big stomach. That kind of place is too bad. I'll go by myself."
Du Simin didn't agree to go with Tong ranmeng.
But when Du Simin came back from the grave, he kept muttering.
"Mom, what are you talking about all the time?"
"Nothing, nothing. It's none of your business. Go to bed early today." Du Simin embarrassed smile did not continue to say.
Just when Tong ranmeng thought that with the function of amulet, she could sleep well all the time, that night she felt a cold wind blowing over and directly opened the window.
Tong ranmeng had to put on his clothes and prepare to close the window. After all, it's cold now.
Just as she closed the window, she looked back and saw a figure standing in her room.
"Ah --" Tong ranmeng screamed with fright.
"Sister ran Meng, are you afraid to see me?"
This voice is so familiar -
this is Tong Xiaolei!
"You..." Tong ranmeng's fingers trembled and pointed to Tong Xiaolei, unable to say a word.
"Ranmeng elder sister, you are so cruel. You like to bully people since you were young, but you still don't want to let me go when you grow up."
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
"You don't know. Who knows? Didn't you follow me all the time? Didn't you find a bunch of little gangsters to molest the girl I like? Didn't you use it to make me sick? "
"No, it's not like that. You misunderstood me! It's not me Tong ranmeng denied it.
"Oh, am I mistaken? But I remember the last time, it was you too... "
"Xiaolei, I'm also your sister. How can I do such a thing? It's not really me, you have to believe me! "
Tong ran Meng was so scared that she turned pale. Step by step, she moved to her bed. There was her amulet under the pillow!
"But how can I believe you? You can cheat people, can you cheat ghosts? Sister ran Meng, I'm so sad. I can't even get into our ancestral grave. Can you help me? "
"How can I help you?"
"Help me! Help me, I'm so lonely
Step by step, Tong ran Meng moved to his bed and immediately took out his amulet from under the pillow.Just as she took out her amulet, the room quieted down.
She looked up and looked around. There was nothing left.
The stone in Tong ranmeng's heart finally fell to the ground. The next day, she told Du Simin about it.
Du Simin was shocked and said, "Mengmeng, do you know what I saw on my ancestral grave yesterday?"
Tong ranmeng was puzzled.
"There's an extra pit in the ancestral grave!"
"That might have been dug up?"
"How is that possible? When Tong's family comes to your father's generation, he is the only man left. There is no one else in the family. People in the village are very taboo about this kind of thing. Other people's ancestral graves are untouchable. How can anyone go to dig a pit next to them? "
"Could it be a child playing with it?" Tong ranmeng didn't think so.
"You are too young to understand. Ancestral graves are arranged according to generations. The location of that pit is the location of your generation. I knew it was Tong Xiaolei who came back!"
Du Simin cursed angrily.
"Mom, don't scare yourself. How can it be?"
"Didn't he come to see you last night? We have to think of a way, at least to burn paper on his grave, this will not work. Mengmeng, just listen to mom. "
At the beginning, Tong ranmeng didn't listen to Du Simin. She had a good sleep in the countryside, so she didn't want to go.
But for three days in a row, she saw Tong Xiaolei in her room. In the end, she took out her amulet and had to listen to Du Simin.
Two people go back together, Du Simin and Tong ranmeng together to burn paper in front of Tong Xiaolei's grave, Tong ranmeng also can't take care of the baby in his stomach.
"Mom, you go to the car first. I'll have a word with Xiao Lei."
"Well, you'll talk to him about it, and let him read something good about you."
Without saying anything, Du Simin went back to the car alone, leaving Tong ranmeng alone.
