seal of magic

Hearing that Zhong and Qi were going to visit Zhu Xingping's old house, the village director hurriedly stopped them: "His house has been unoccupied for a long time, and it's almost half collapsed. It's not safe to go so late."

Zhong Qingyu explained that they were just going to take a look around, they would stay for a while, and they would be back in a while.But no matter what they said, the village director refused to let them go.

Qi Shao exchanged glances with Zhong Qingyu, and asked the village director, "Is there something you didn't tell us when you stopped me like this?"

The village director was silent for a while, turned his back and took two puffs of cigarettes, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he turned around and said, "First of all, I'm not superstitious. I don't believe in ghosts and monsters. But Zhu Xingping’s house is really evil. I told you earlier that his family has moved away, but the things are still there, right? There are two bastards in the village who want to steal things in the dark. One of them is watching the wind outside and the other is going in As a result, the person who went in did not move for a long time, and the one outside went in and saw that the person was dead! The last investigation revealed that it was a myocardial infarction, but he was a young man in his prime and had no medical history in this area, so why did he suddenly have a myocardial infarction? Woolen cloth?

"And it's not just this time. These two people didn't steal anything, but they broke the lock and the door couldn't be locked. There were children in the village who ran in during the day to play. When the family found it, they passed out and were hospitalized. It took half a month to wake up, and I didn't find out why.

"We saw these things with our own eyes, and no one would believe us if we told them. I told the people in the village to take good care of my children, and no one should go to his house, and you are not allowed to tell outsiders about this. You two I murmured in my heart when I came to investigate Zhu Xingping, but what do you want me to say about this!"

After hearing what the village director said, Qi Shao was about to speak when Zhong Qingyu pressed him down and said to the village director, "Well, then we won't go to his house. We've basically found out everything, and we'll go back tomorrow morning."

That night, Qi Shao and Zhong Qingyu slept at the village director's house.In the middle of the night, Zhong Qingyu woke up Qi Shao, and the two slipped out quietly.

"You're pretty good at sneaking things. Last time you climbed over the wall, this time you sneaked away in the middle of the night. Next time, you won't be breaking the door, right?" Qi Shao said happily.

"No way, just like Director Ren said, people don't believe this kind of ghosts and snakes, so I can't give him a live performance. If we really have an accident here, he won't be able to explain it. Why bother?" It’s embarrassing others. Speaking of sneaking, didn’t you come up with the idea of ​​climbing over the wall last time?” Zhong Qingyu also laughed.

The two came to Zhu Xingping's old house with flashlights.Sure enough, as the village director said, due to years of disrepair, a small piece of the roof on the right collapsed, and the inside should have been a kitchen.The wood on the gate was also cracked in several places. As it is now, even if the lock is not broken, it may be broken if it is kicked hard.

Entering the house, there is a small square table in the middle of the living room.Right in front of it is a TV cabinet with an old-fashioned TV set on it. A New Year picture is pasted on the wall above the TV, and there is nothing special about it.There is a row of chairs against the wall on the left, and there is a door on the side near the door of the house, and there should be a room behind it.There is a large round table standing against the wall on the right, and there are two doors near the door and on the inside. The side that should be near the door is the room, and the other is the way to the kitchen.

Although he didn't find anything, Qi Shao felt an indescribable discomfort, a little chest tightness, and a little nausea.The discomfort intensified as they approached the room to the left.

"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?" Zhong Qingyu quickly noticed Qi Shao's strangeness.

Qi Shao nodded, knowing that it was dangerous here, and it was not time to be brave. He pointed to the room on the left and said to Zhong Qingyu: "There is something in this room that makes me feel uncomfortable. Be careful."

"Okay. Do you still have the talisman left over from last time?" Zhong Qingyu asked.

"Yes." Although it was wrinkled in the last acting, Qi Shao still took it with him when he went out this time.

Zhong Qingyu reminded: "That one is a life-saving talisman, you take it with you. I will go to that room by myself, you go to look elsewhere, and call me if you have anything to do."

The two split up, Zhong Qingyu went to the room on the left, and Qi Shao walked to the room on the right.

The outer gate of this old house was badly corroded, but the inner door was fine.Qi Shao pushed open the door. Since the room had been closed for a long time, there was a musty smell in the air, and it took a long time for it to fade away.

He walked in, and the first thing he saw was a large bed. There was a photo frame on the wall beside the bed, but the photo inside had been torn, leaving only a few residual patterns at the corners of the photo frame.On the right side of the room is a row of wardrobes, Qi Shao opened the door of the wardrobe, and it was empty inside.

Looking at the furnishings in the house, this should be the room of Zhu Xingping and his wife.Zhu Xingping moved out in such a hurry that he didn't even take care of the furniture and appliances, but only took care of his wife's clothes. I don't know if there is any problem with it.

Qi Shao couldn't figure it out for the time being. He closed the cabinet door and turned around. He was startled by the sight in front of him—a mirror was installed on the wall facing the bed, about one meter wide and two meters long.Even if Qi Shao doesn't understand Feng Shui, he still knows that the mirror should not face the bed, let alone such a big mirror.

The door of the room was closed at some point, and a figure of a woman appeared in the mirror. She was sitting on the bed facing the mirror. Her long hair covered most of her face, only a narrow part in the middle was exposed.

Qi Shao was shocked, and looked at the bed, but the bed was still the same as before, and there was nothing there.

In the mirror, the woman was still moving. She held a comb in her hand and combed her hair slowly in front of the mirror. She was humming while combing. The intermittent voice echoed in this long-abandoned room.

Qi Shao wanted to open the door and go out, but the originally fragile wooden door was like cast iron at the moment, no matter how Qi Shao pulled and kicked it, it would not budge.With such a big commotion, Zhong Qingyu must have come if he could have heard it.Qi Shao took out his mobile phone without hope, but there was no signal.

Anyway, it was impossible to get out, Qi Shao calmed down and planned to see what the woman in the mirror wanted to do.He also has a life-saving talisman, maybe he can give it a try.

With the singing of the woman, the picture in the mirror slowly changed.

The room is bright and clean, and the light seems to emanate from a mirror, and you can see clearly without the light of a flashlight.

The bed was covered with a bright red quilt, and the photos in the photo frame on the wall were also intact. On both sides of the photo frame, there was a letter "囍". The expression is not as loving as the newlyweds.

The woman got pregnant with a big belly, but the man was not happy at all, saying: "If you don't want to have two, then get rid of this one."

The woman resolutely disagreed, and the man said irritably: "The son you want to conceive will be fine. My mother just wants a grandson. Besides, if other people have daughters, they will continue to have children until they have a son. Why don't you refuse!"

The woman was also very angry: "If our family wants to be able to support it, we will continue to have children. But with our current situation, what should we do if our children study in the future? Who will read and who will not?"

The man replied without thinking: "Of course my son read it."

The woman cried: "I knew it! But why, women are not human? Your mother is not a woman? If all the girls are killed, who gave birth to you! You are born with your own flesh and blood, I It can’t be that biased.”

The man became angry: "Don't you think our family is poor? You knew our family was poor from the first day?"

"But you made it clear that you would not let me be wronged. What happened? When I married you, your mother asked me to quit my job to take care of you and her. If I refused to quit, I would say those nasty things."

Man: "We are all like this here. The duty of a wife is to take care of her husband, children, and parents-in-law."

"Then why didn't you tell me before you got married? You clearly know that I'm not from your country. If you really want to find someone like this, you should find a local girl. Why are you looking for me!"

The two quarreled for a long time, and finally broke up unhappy.

After the child was born, the two still always quarreled over this matter. Although Grandma Wang rarely appeared in the screen, her voice would occasionally be mixed in.

Then one day, Zhu Xingping came into the house with the woman in his arms. The woman seemed to be in a coma.Grandma Wang came in after her, and asked worriedly, "What if you get her back like this and someone finds out?"

Zhu Xingping said: "No, I said she was sick and fell asleep after taking medicine, so she didn't suspect it."

Grandma Wang: "Have you checked? Is it a woman again this time?"

Zhu Xingping nodded.

Grandma Wang: "Then what's the use of bringing her back, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to get her pregnant next time."

"There will be no next time. I met someone who taught me a way to turn Yinan into a man." Zhu Xingping spoke with a gloomy expression on his face.

He put the woman on the bed, and placed four pieces of yellow talisman paper under the four corners of the bed.After a long time, a large mirror was brought from outside and installed on the wall opposite the bed—it should be the side Qi Shao is looking at now.

The woman has been in a coma for another day since she was lying on the bed. After waking up, she wanted to get off the bed, but as soon as she touched the edge of the bed, she seemed to be blocked by something. She was terrified and tried many times, no matter how she moved. Neither can leave.She yelled loudly, but no one came.

Afterwards, in the morning and night, Zhu Xingping used some method to trap the woman on the bed. Only when she was eating, Grandma Wang came to serve her food. At other times, no matter how the woman yelled, no one paid attention to her.

At first she would walk up and down the bed with great agitation, but whenever she fell asleep she would be awakened by nightmares.Long-term lack of rest, coupled with the influence of the bed formation, made her health worse and worse. Later, she lay on the bed almost all the time, occasionally struggling to sit up for a while.

At this time, her cheeks were sunken, her face was blue, her eyes were big, bright and beautiful, but now because she was too thin, they looked too big and scary.

She seemed to have another nightmare that day, she was screaming before she woke up, and she still didn't stop after waking up.She sat up and curled up into a ball, holding her head in her hands, and kept screaming.Seeing the changes in the light, she called from the afternoon until it was dark, but no one came in during this time.

Her voice was already hoarse, and she could only make an ugly "hoo hoo" sound.Slowly she raised her head to look in the mirror with a weird smile on her face.

Qi Shao's heart was full of alarm bells, and he felt that the woman's gaze seemed to see him through a mirror. He wanted to smash the mirror, but found that he couldn't move!
