The devil attacks me every day

Meng Qi'an slowly recited the lyrics of the Zeshu ditty with a foreigner's accent: "Alang, Alang. I will give you caramel. Wear red clothes to be your new bride."

This mountain city ditty, which is widely circulated in Zeshu, is mostly sung by women to the men they like. Although Zheliu Village is close to Chishui, most of them can sing this song.

Women who are looking forward to love, women who are in love, women who want to save love... They often sing this song with different moods.

He pointed to the direction where He Dapeng was: "You heard it too, didn't you?"

who?The people in the courtyard watched the young man pointing at an open space and felt their scalps tingling.

As a new ghost, He Dapeng doesn't have much experience in being a ghost yet, but he knows that he is dead, and people can only see his decaying body, not his current wandering self.

Seeing Meng Qi'an pointing at himself, he quickly looked twice, and after confirming that there were no other ghosts around him, he turned his head to look at Meng Qi'an again, and asked uncertainly, "Me?"

"Yes, it's you." Meng Qi'an nodded: "The female ghost who sang this song has no face, you shouldn't forget it, right?"

He Dapeng was almost scared to death!

No, he was already dead, at most he was frightened to death and had no chance to live.

His dripping fingers tremblingly pointed at Meng Qi'an: "You, how do you know! Also! Can you see me?"

Meng Qi'an walked over slowly, and the women in the courtyard screamed out of the way, obviously frightened by the way the young man spoke into the void.

He pointed to the star in He Dapeng's arms: "You don't want to hurt him, do you?"

The water ghost, covered in water, cried.He could no longer cry, but the water on his head and body was flowing faster and faster, and a large piece of dry land was wet: "I don't know, I really don't know what I did! I don't want to, I don't want to hurt He, he is my son, who was born by Alian after ten months of pregnancy, I, I will not harm him!"

"Relax, I'm here to help you." Meng Qi'an turned around with a smile, and said to Mrs. A Qing, "Can you lend me the yellow paper and cinnabar?"

Mrs. Ah Qing is not the same as the women in the yard.Although she couldn't see the water ghost, the three chopsticks standing together just now told her that He Dapeng had arrived.As a not-so-professional witch, Sister-in-law Ah Qing could feel the dampness and coolness in the courtyard, and maybe the boy I met yesterday might really be able to see He Dapeng.

"Yes, yes." She hurriedly took a stack of yellow paper and cinnabar from the house: "Little brother, use it!"

Meng Qi'an bit his finger, and mixed blood and cinnabar to draw a simple drawing of a spirit-gathering talisman.Because all the talismans are used, the validity period of this talisman is very short. He stretched out his hand and smiled at He Dapeng: "Give him to me, and I will send him back."

He Dapeng lowered his head and looked at the starlight wandering in his arms.It was so small, so weak, just like the twin babies who were just born in the swaddling womb, so he couldn't let go of it even after death.

"His road is still long, and there is a wider world beyond Zeshu. Don't you want him to take a look?" Meng Qi'an hooked his hands again, and his voice became softer: "Let him go back to the Go to mother's side."

The water ghost looked at the mother and wife who were hugging each other. There was fear and suspicion on their faces, but more of it was sadness.Sad for his death, and even more sad for Shuang Waer who is about to lose his life.

He held the starlight in both hands and handed it over, without saying a word, but the water dripped down from his body continuously.

Meng Qi'an carefully put the stars into the spirit-gathering talisman, walked quickly to A-Lian's side, and softly comforted him: "Let me see the child."

A-Lian hugged the child tightly, and looked at Mrs. A-Qing as if asking for help.Seeing Mrs. Ah Qing nodding, she reluctantly took the child out of her arms.

Meng Qi'an took off the child's clothes, and stuck the spirit-gathering talisman on his heart.Under the effect of the spirit-gathering talisman, the starlight was much stronger than in the water ghost's arms before, like a lively little star thrown into a child's body.

The red runes on the yellow paper dissipated visible to the naked eye.

"This, this is!" A-Lian was the closest, and the talisman paper changed drastically under her nose. She didn't really believe in these ghosts and gods, but her mother-in-law dragged her away from Jiuqi Village to Zheliu Village. It came, but how could she not believe it when she saw everything in front of her eyes helplessly!

Shuang Wa'er, who was so weak that he didn't even cry, slowly opened his eyes. He felt warm all over and was no longer afraid. He stretched out his small arms and waved them up and down, giggling.

Mrs. Ah Qing rushed over and touched the child's face, then picked up the talisman paper used by the boy just now, looked at it carefully, swallowed her saliva: "Shuangbai is ready..." She turned her head to look at the boy again: "You , How did you do it?"

Meng Qi'an still had the innocent smile of a young man, he chuckled: "I learned a little bit from my master."

"Is this still fur?"

"That's right, little master is too modest!"

"Ms. He, you all have to thank little master well, Shuang Wa'er is thanks to little master this time!"

"How old is Master Zhao? Where did you come from?"

"Has little master married yet?"

"Look at what you asked, how big can little master be? He must not have married a wife! There is a girl in my family who is fifteen this year, and she looks like a water spirit! Little master, if you come to my house for dinner at night, I will ask her father to take her Bring it!"

The women in the yard resumed their former bustle.They chatted around Meng Qi'an one by one, and at the end they started to sell their school-age girls.

Meng Qi'an died early and had no contact with any women other than her sister.At this moment, being surrounded by a group of women and asking questions, the tip of his ears were blushing unconsciously.

He wanted to go out, but he didn't know how to speak, just in time to see He Dapeng who was hiding under the eaves, dripping all over his body, and pointed at him excitedly: "I, I still have something to ask him!"

"Who?" the women asked.

"He Dapeng!"

"..."

The women all dispersed with a whoosh, making way for a way out.

Meng Qi'an finally let out a breath, and trot all the way to sit down next to He Dapeng.

As a new ghost, He Dapeng didn't have much experience with the 'magic stick', he just felt that he was about to be arrested by his little master, and he wanted to say nothing with a bitter face.

"Don't look like you're going to die." Meng Qi'an patted him on the shoulder from the air: "You're not a ghost, I have no reason to kill you."

He Dapeng's expression became even more bitter.He only knew that it was painful to die once, but he didn't know that he could die again after death.

"Actually, I came here on purpose. Even if I don't meet you here, I will go to your house and wait for you. Today is your first seven days, and you will definitely come back."

The women in the yard stretched out their ears to eavesdrop on the boy's "talking to himself" and communicated with each other in low voices.

"He Dapeng hasn't left yet?" Someone asked.

"...The first seven haven't passed yet, so it should be gone."

"Isn't it daytime..." Someone asked.

"Oh, it's weird... Although I can't see it, the little master is too scary, right?"

They were still chatting when they heard the young man answer loudly: "Don't worry, He Dapeng is leaving tonight! And ghosts don't have to come out at night!"

"..."

After hearing his explanation, the women panicked even more.

Meng Qi'an replied, and then asked He Dapeng: "You were killed seven days ago? Have you seen that faceless ghost before? Has she killed anyone else? Did the faceless water ghost come looking for you after you came back?" Pass you, eat you?"

"Eat it?" He Dapeng panicked: "I'm a ghost, can ghosts be eaten too?"

"Don't panic, you're fine now, that means you're fine, you can answer other questions first."

He Dapeng rubbed the corner of his wet clothes: "See, I've seen her, I've seen her."

"Where is it? Did she stare at you and kill you later?"

"No, she didn't harm me..." He Dapeng sighed: "I... actually saw that ghost, the one with no face, and I've seen it several times..."

Meng Qi'an couldn't believe it: "You said that faceless water ghost didn't harm you?"

He Dapeng nodded: "Yes."

"How is it possible?! Then how did you die?" Meng Qi'an was harmed by the water ghost only once last night. If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet him, if she was an ordinary person, there would be another pitiful one this morning. dead body!

"I, I died by myself..." He Dapeng continued: "I have seen her more than once. At first I thought it was just my eyesight, but after seeing her a few times, I was terrified... Sometimes it was her. When fetching water from the well, sometimes I go to the river to wash my face, and I can see it.”

"I almost drowned when I was a child, and then I could occasionally see some shadows...it must be ghosts. I know what I saw, and when I tell others, they don't believe it."

It is the dying eye.Meng Qi'an unconsciously thought of Gu Shan. He also had dying eyes and was almost scared to death by the hanged ghost at home.

"That day when I was fetching water by the well, I heard singing again, and I saw her... Although she was ashamed, I think she saw me too... I was timid, I was too scared, and I carried water If you don’t come up, your foot slips and you fall down.”

The water on He Dapeng's body became more joyful: "...When I woke up again and walked home, I heard Shuangwa crying. I went to hug him, but I couldn't lift him up...I tried many times, and finally hugged him But his body was crying very hard, and what I held in my arms was his soul... A-Lian came to see him, crying and saying that I was dead, and Shuangwaer should have nothing more to do."

"I didn't know I was dead! I, I really didn't know... I went out and saw my tablet... My mother also said, I died for seven days... Shuangwa is in my arms, he can't go back, I don't know what to do... Later, Shuangwa'er became more and more wrong, so mother asked A-Lian to hug me and come to Mrs. A-Qing, and you know the rest..."

"She didn't harm you, she just sang?" Meng Qi'an still didn't quite believe it: "Don't you want to jump into the water after hearing her singing?"

He Dapeng said in a daze, "No... I, I was scared and wanted to run away. No one else seemed to be able to see her..."

Meng Qi'an was completely at a loss. Could it be that there are two faceless water ghosts hiding in this small village?
