marry a ghost

After watching the excitement for a while, Wei Ning walked slowly towards Wei Shi's house.

When working outside, I always feel that there is not enough time, even walking on the road, I am in a hurry, afraid that I will not be able to catch the next bus, the next meeting, the next one - there are always countless next ones squeezed in, let you I can't breathe, I can't stretch my feet, but in Weizhuang, the clock seems to have stopped. Even the local dogs passing by the roadside will stop from time to time to look at a flower, and an insect will be dazed or playful for a while. for a while.

If we say that Wei Ning has any nostalgia for Wei Zhuang, it is about the time and pace when Wei Zhuang suddenly slowed down compared with the outside world.

Perhaps it was because she was used to this kind of life in Weizhuang that Wei's mother refused to move away, even if she was to go to her only son.

Wei Ning also understands his mother's thoughts. However, understanding does not mean acceptance. It can only be said that there is an insurmountable gap between the two generations, and Wei Ning must be the one who compromises in the end. It is almost impossible to be nostalgic, reluctant to move, and force the elderly to change their minds. Moreover, why must they be forced?They are old, how many years can they live?What makes them happy is also their duty as children.

If it wasn't for Wei Zhuang, Wei Ning would be happy to do things according to Wei's mother.

Wei Ning knocked on the wooden door of Wei Shi's dilapidated health center, and Wei Shi shouted from inside the door, "Come in, come in, the door is unlocked." Wei Ning pushed the door open, and saw Wei Shi wearing a frameless Wearing glasses, wearing a white sweater, pulling a pair of flip flops, sitting behind the desk with legs apart, not knowing what he was doing, seeing Wei Ning coming in, he also took a look and then lowered down again, Leave a sentence, "Sit casually, wait until I finish this matter."

It's fine that the room doesn't have an air conditioner, not even a fan, it's so stuffy that it makes people panic, and I don't know how Wei Shi can bear it, Wei Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead, and pulled over the bamboo recliner next to him, Lie down on it, casually took a book next to her, and read it.

The paper of the book is yellowed, and there is a smell of damp and dry, dry and damp, vertical version of traditional Chinese, a type that most people would not be interested in, many people in Weizhuang have this kind of thread-bound old books at home, Wei Ning hoards I read a lot of them in bulk, but this was something that happened when I was a child. Now these books are burned, lost, and damaged, and there are not many left.

The things written in this book are also strange, all of them are strange medicinal materials and folk remedies that have never been heard of before. The person who wrote the book, perhaps because he was afraid that people who read the book later would not understand, still painted on the side of those medicinal materials. The diagram shows that the preparation methods of those medicinal materials are even more unheard of, and there are some strange gossip, Maoshan alchemy, methods of subduing demons and catching ghosts, all kinds of methods, which make people dazzled and feel ridiculous at the same time.

When Wei Ning was reading it interestingly, someone pulled the book in his hand. He looked up and saw Wei Shi standing next to him with a book in his hand, "Are you done?" Wei Ning asked.

Wei Shi nodded, his face was pale, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and he said to Wei Ning weakly, "Let's go somewhere." Then he threw the book in his hand on the desk.

"Where are you going?" Wei Ning asked beside him, "What's wrong with you? You look like you're overindulgent."

Wei Shi's face darkened, "Cough—who, who indulged in sexual desire—it's not because of you."

Wei Shi stuttered so much that he almost bit his teeth. Wei Ning had never seen Wei Shi like this before. He was just making a joke at first, but now he felt that something like this really happened. There is a saying that goes well: "An explanation is a cover-up. Concealment is the truth." According to this inference, Wei Shi is really——but, I haven't heard that he has any lovers, and the underground work is too good?Wei Ning was thinking wildly in his mind.

The two kept walking, passed the noisy construction teams, and reached the mountain.

Wei Shi buried his head forward without saying a word, and Wei Ning followed silently. The two arrived at Wei Zhuang's cemetery one after the other. Some were rickety, and Wei Zhuang hadn't sent people to repair the cemetery in a long time, showing a sparse atmosphere.

Even if I come here during the day, I still feel gloomy in my heart.

The wild grass is desolate, the bushes are overgrown, and the old crows are flying around.

Wei Xi's grave is over there, and you can see it as soon as you turn your head. However, this time their destination was not there, but went directly to the wetland.

In the range of the wetland, the temperature suddenly drops a few degrees, which makes people feel cold and fearful. The grass here is deeper, the forest is denser, and there are insects all around. It seems that there will be one at any time. , Crawled out in nests, even the mud on the ground was wetter and muddy, and the air was filled with a faint rancid smell.

As soon as he stepped on the foot, the mud came out from between the toes, which felt particularly disgusting. Wei Ning frowned and looked at it, shook his foot, and continued to move forward.

The damp land is just under a mountain wall, and the mountain wall is sunken inwards, forming a cave the size of a basketball court. Those who died young or died in Weizhuang are all buried in this cave. Buried around.

Wei Xi was buried outside the cave.

Wei Ning glanced at the place where Wei Xi was buried, and there was only a deep pit left, which was extremely muddy. After only a few days, a layer of fine and tall grass had grown. It didn't take long for the place that was once a mess to disappear. There will be no abnormalities, and in another year and a half, maybe someone will be buried here again.

Even Wei Ning himself didn't know why this kind of association suddenly appeared in his mind. It seemed that it had always been like this. There were always people who died suddenly or prematurely in Weizhuang, and they were carried up the mountain, one by one, maybe, people Life itself is impermanent, not only in Weizhuang, but also in other places. The most indispensable and shocking thing in this world is accidents.

However, some of them were really accidents, while others—

Wei Shi took out a flashlight and turned it on. The cave was dark, and even a strong flashlight could only illuminate one corner. As for other places, the light seemed to be swallowed by the surrounding darkness, and the light could not penetrate.

In fact, this cave as a burial place, in addition to the semi-cave the size of a basketball court, there are several forked roads inside, leading to the mountainside of this mountain, I do not know where it extends, anyway, Weizhuang people have never entered , Even those bold children, no one dared to come here to test their courage.

This cave is really too dark, too deep, and too quiet, just approaching, as if to be swallowed.

When Wei Ning saw that Wei Shi was going to go deep into the cave, he finally couldn't help but give him a hand, "Wei Shi, what is this all about?"

Wei Ning trusted him from the bottom of his heart, the brother who played with him naked since childhood. Generally speaking, if he wanted to pull him along, he didn't even need to ask. Going up, it's just——Looking at the dark cave now, Wei Ning felt chills from the bottom of his heart, his face was pale, his head was covered with cold sweat, and his pupils were also dilated due to fear and pressure.

At this time, Wei Ning felt a chilly wind blowing over his body, goosebumps all over his exposed skin, Wei Ning couldn't help leaning towards Wei Shi's direction, however, the chilly wind followed like a shadow followed.

Wei Shi looked indifferent, "Look for medicine, the brothers below you are still waiting for help."

Wei Ning choked, "The medicine grows here?"

Wei Shi scratched his chin, "I don't know too well, but according to the book, there is a very high possibility of this place, no matter what, you have to try—"

This is related to the happiness of his lower body and the rest of his life, Wei Ning immediately raised his spirits, "Then let's go in, if I knew I would bring a flashlight, if we search together, we should move faster."

Wei Shi waved his hand, "That's not necessary, that thing only grows in a specific place, we just follow along to find it."

The two of them bypassed the tombs and tombstones, and walked to the entrance of the cave. It should be a place with no air, but gusts of dark wind seemed to blow over, making people feel cold all over their bodies, and they wanted to Back off.

It's just that Wei and Ning can only move forward, not retreat.

Just as he walked into the cave, Wei Ning felt as if something was following him. He couldn't help but look around. There was darkness as thick as ink, but the darkness was even darker. In the deep place, there is a darkness like water vapor condensed into water droplets, gathered together, not clear, vague, but like the essence——

As if feeling it, Wei Ning suddenly turned around, stretched out his hand, and groped in the darkness. He didn't know what he was looking for, but he subconsciously affirmed that there was something in it—however, No matter how he waved his hand around, he couldn't find anything.

It's just——on his fingertips, sometimes, he would touch a little cold breath.

Wei Ning withdrew his hand and touched his fingers. It was a little cold, but it was not ice. When he was about to try again, Wei Shi who was next to him became impatient, "Brother Ning, let's go, wait until it's late. I can't find it."

Wei Ning let out a "hmm" and didn't worry about these things any more. Anyway, this place is inherently dark, and it's not unusual for it to be weird.

After walking for about ten minutes, suddenly, the eyes suddenly opened up, and an underground cave that was larger than the semi-cave that was used as a wetland appeared in front of me.

The cave is so high that there are countless stalactites and stalagmites, there are holes in the cave, and there is a faint green light on the stone wall. After getting used to it for a long time, you can see everything around you without a flashlight.

"Oh my God—I didn't expect this place to be so famous." Wei Ning couldn't help sighing because of the scenery in front of him. He stretched out his hand to touch the stone wall, and his finger was stained with a little green light. "What is this thing? It can glow. moss?"

Wei Shi took a look beside him, "Well, a special kind of moss probably adapts to the mutation of the underground environment. Let's look for the water source here."

Standing at the entrance of the cave, you can hear the "tick-tick" sound of water flowing in the cave, just follow the sound to find it.When the two finally found the place, they were both stunned. After a long time, Wei Shi whispered, "This—is the altar?"

In front of me is a three-meter-high stone platform, which is obviously repaired manually. On both sides of the stone platform are neat stone steps with a width of about half a meter. There is a stone bed on the stone platform. Next to the stone bed are nine stone pillars. There are still traces of the fire. The stone platform is extended from a stone wall, and there is a stream of groundwater emerging from that stone wall, flowing into the water tank hewn by the stone platform. Most importantly, the stone platform is still There are some bones.

shocking.

Wei Ning and Wei Shi looked at each other in blank dismay, they never expected to find such relics in this cave.

Just when the two of them were a little surprised and were about to walk over to take a closer look, a black shadow ran out from behind a thick stalactite next to it. Live in Wei Ning.
