there is someone behind me

Dark clouds cover the moon, and the sky is pitch black.Two fires flickered on and off in the mountains.

A middle-aged man in a big padded jacket was carrying a basket in his hand and followed behind a tall and thin old lady in a yellow jacket. The old lady was holding a candle in one hand and a small token in the other hand, saying something in her mouth. Say something.Take a closer look at the hunched figure of the middle-aged man, trembling slightly.He also held a candle in his hand without the basket, and when the wind blew, the flame on the candle in his hand flickered. The middle-aged man watched the candle flame nervously, for fear that it would be blown out by the wind.

But it must not be extinguished, Aunt Huang said, this candle will lead their way, and it will depend on this candle whether they can return safely in a while.

"Wow - wow -" the baby cried, and the middle-aged man was so frightened that he almost threw the basket in his hand.The tall and thin old lady turned around suddenly and stared at the middle-aged man intently: "Remember, this child is still connected to your family, throw him away now, don't even think about it."

The middle-aged man was panting heavily, and while swallowing, he clenched the basket in his hand, and there was a five- to six-month-old baby lying in it.In fact, this child was not born to their family, but he picked it up on the mountain, in this mountain.

At that time, he went up the mountain to hunt wild goods, and he could hear the cry of the baby in his ears. He searched for the sound and found the child under a tree.At first, the man thought it was a child who was born sick and couldn't support him and threw it away, but after examining the child carefully, he found that the boy was quite healthy, and he didn't look like he was sick and abandoned.

The man didn't have a boy doll at home, so after thinking about it, he took this seemingly healthy child back home.At first everything was fine, and his wife was also very happy. After all, it was a mountain village where patriarchal thoughts were more serious. There was a boy in the family—even if he picked it up, it was a good thing.Although the villagers wondered who would abandon a boy doll, they envied the man's luck of picking up a boy when he went hunting in the mountains.

The child looks good, white and tender, and everyone in the village says that the man is very lucky.But who knows, within a few months, the man's family has been experiencing strange things. First, the seat was inexplicably heard when the family was sleeping, and then the man's daughter kept yelling and saw "someone" walking around beside his brother, and the neighbors also said that they had walked His house felt like the wind was blowing.The man didn't take it seriously at first, until one day he and his wife were almost strangled to death in a dream, and when they woke up, they saw a black handprint on each other's necks.

The man was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. At this time, he didn't know who spread the word first, saying that their family was bewitched.This theory spread more and more widely, and some people thought of the goddess in the next village—Grandma Huang.The man also felt that something was wrong, so he went to the next village to ask Aunt Huang to see it.

Aunt Huang came to the man's house with the little wooden sign she offered. As soon as she stepped into the house, the little wooden sign began to tremble.When she walked to the side of the boy picked up by the man, the wooden sign shook wildly.

What did the man and his wife look at? Aunt Huang didn't move anything, so why did the wooden sign jump up by itself?

Aunt Huang's complexion was heavy, and she even said a few "big murders".The man's daughter-in-law trembled and kept poking the man, and the man asked Aunt Huang, "Is there something wrong with this child?"

Aunt Huang told the man that this child is haunted by ghosts. The fact that he was abandoned before was probably due to some evil done by his biological parents. They used some means to transfer it to the child. Who knows, he was picked up by you. Now your family has to bear the responsibility together with this child. as a result of.

When the man heard it, it was okay, and begged Aunt Huang for a long time to ask her to solve the matter.Aunt Huang thought about it for a long time before reluctantly agreeing. The man gave Aunt Huang 2000 yuan on the spot, which was saved by the family for a long time.Aunt Huang asked the man to go up the mountain with him at night, and let him go back no matter how the child got here.

The mountain wind was blowing, I don't know if it was the man's psychological effect, he always felt as if something was staring at them.The baby's basket also seemed to be getting colder and colder, and his hands were almost numb.

"Here we are." Aunt Huang stopped, pointed to a tree not far away, and said, "Where do you put the basket?"

The woods in the darkness are vague, especially when the candles are flickering, it looks even more gloomy.The man ran over and dropped the basket, then hid back to Aunt Huang's side, not caring about the crying of the child in the basket.

Aunt Huang held up the wooden sign in her hand and said something like "Great Immortal". The man couldn't hear it clearly, but he saw the wooden sign fly out by itself and circled the basket twice.

It seemed that there was black air coming out of the basket. The man rubbed his eyes, but he didn't see anything when he looked over.

The wooden sign fell into the basket. Aunt Huang bowed to the wooden sign twice and said to the man, "Okay, let's go down the mountain now."

"Is this all right?" The man asked tremblingly.

Aunt Huang glanced at him: "The Great Immortal will help you with the rest of the matter, you just need to offer the tribute at home."

"Sure, sure." The man nodded hastily.

The two walked down the mountain.

As soon as the two left, a pair of green eyes appeared in the woods, and the owner of the eyes rushed to the basket in an instant.The clouds parted a little, and under the moonlight for a moment, this thing revealed its figure, which turned out to be a weasel half the height of a person.The weasel opened its mouth to the baby in the basket, with sharp teeth in a pointed mouth and drooling from the mouth, as if the baby was some beautiful food.

It made a sound like a laugh and snapped at the baby.

"Roar——" At this time, a tiger roar suddenly sounded in the forest, and the roar scared several owls away, and also surprised the weasel who was about to eat.The weasel looked at the baby, then looked at the woods, and there were signs of struggle on his face. It was this struggle that made him miss the chance to escape, until the colorful tiger jumped out of the woods, biting on the ground with one bite. At the waist of the weasel, without waiting for the weasel to escape with the magic spell, the tiger closed his upper and lower jaws and pierced the weasel directly.

At the same time, Aunt Huang's face turned pale when she walked halfway up the mountain, she glanced back in horror, and hurried away without looking back.The man didn't know why, so he had to run down the mountain with him.

The next day, the man went to see Aunt Huang again, but she closed the door and didn't see her, saying that his family's business was over and he would not come to her again.No way, the man had to go back.But the strange things in the man's family did stop, and he felt that it was Aunt Huang's credit, but he didn't know that Aunt Huang made up and lied to him about "using babies to transfer evil".

The child's surroundings are indeed full of yin, and the strange things in the man's house are caused by the ghosts caused by the yin, but it's probably because of the child's physique.Aunt Huang's grandson also coveted the child, and kept running to Aunt Huang to get the child.So Aunt Huang made such a scene.Who knew that Daxian would never return, Aunt Huang sensed that the connection between Daxian and her was broken, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to sleep all night, and she didn't have the courage to go up the mountain to check. After a few days of resistance, she just fell ill. .

In the mountains, Huang Daxian, who was offered by Aunt Huang, had long been stiff and could not die anymore.

The foggy mountain in the morning is just like its name, shrouded in mist.On the path among the mountains, an old man with gray hair and beard was climbing up the mountain with a medicine basket on his back.His speed can almost be described as brisk walking. It is hard to imagine that this is the climbing speed of an old man. Even a young man in his twenties may not be able to achieve this speed on a mountain road that is stepped on by people.

The old man's dress is also retro, wearing a rough jacket, with a bun on the top of his head, fixed with a wooden hairpin, at first glance he looks a bit like a Taoist priest, but Wuyuan Mountain is not a tourist attraction, and there is no tourist attraction on the mountain. If there is no Taoist temple, where do Taoist priests come from?

Zhou Ziheng came to collect medicine for his Taoist companion Liu Hanxiu. He is really a Taoist priest, but he is not from Wuyuan Mountain, but from Zixiao Mountain.As for why he came all the way from Qin Province to Zhejiang Province, that's not the point now. The point is that Zhou Ziheng noticed something following him in the forest on the right.

Zhou Ziheng flicked his wrist, and a talisman was caught between his fingertips. He shouted at Lin Zi, "Come out."

Something in the woods gave a low howl and jumped out.

Zhou Ziheng took a closer look and found that it was a tiger with black spots on a yellow background.The tiger yelled at him twice, turned around and jumped into the woods again, and saw that Zhou Ziheng hadn't followed, and yelled at him twice again.

Zhou Ziheng thought to himself, it's strange, he has stayed in this Wuyuan mountain for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered a tiger, and this one is different from ordinary tigers, with a faint aura lingering around him, it is impressive wisdom.

Zhou Ziheng looked at the back of the spirit tiger, thinking that since it showed up to find him, it must not be idle, so he followed.After following the tiger for a while, Zhou Ziheng frowned.

Although this mountain is not a famous river, it is inaccessible, and the aura of the unpolluted mountain is not strong but sufficient.But this piece of forest actually gathered a lot of evil spirits.If it's not the feng shui problem of the mountains, and there are no traces of formations, there are only two possibilities left, one is that there are things buried in the mountains, and the other is that some creatures have attracted the evil spirit.

As Linghu walked deeper and deeper, Zhou Ziheng heard the cry of the baby.He listened intently for a moment, and it was indeed the cry of a human child.

The spirit tiger led Zhou Ziheng to a cave. It clawed twice from the cave and took out a tattered basket. The cry came from the basket.

As soon as the basket appeared, Zhou Ziheng felt that the evil spirit around him became stronger.Linghu put down the basket and roared twice to the surroundings, the evil spirit faded a little, but still lingered.

The spirit tiger rested anxiously beside the basket, and the crying of the baby in the basket gradually stopped.
