Can the door to the new world be closed?

In the midsummer season, the wind blows with scorching heat, and it is only after the early morning that there is a hint of coolness in the heart.

Shao Zidi shook the pot for a whole day, and when a few fine stars fell from the sky, he had time to rest. He squatted at the door of the restaurant with a cigarette in his mouth, watching two wild dogs under the tree not far away "playing and squabbling." ".

These days, being single is worse than a dog.

"Zidi, I think the guests at that table are leaving soon. You can go back after cleaning up. I will close the door in a while." The owner of this small restaurant was full of energy. He is the kindest boss Shao Zidi has ever met after working so many jobs.

It is also the most pitiful.

"Okay." After taking the last puff, Shao Zidi crushed the cigarette butt on the ground, stood up and patted the fallen ash, and while pulling the apron around his waist, he smiled at the boss: "Then I'll go back first, you have worked hard !"

The boss patted Shao Zidi on the shoulder, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and his smile was greasy under the reflection of the white woven lamp, "Okay. Let's go!"

There was nothing to clean up, Shao Zidi wiped his pot with a rag, and left in the dark.

The rented house is not too far from here, but it belongs to the old district that is about to be demolished, and there are many small alleys to pass through.

Just suitable for a bachelor like him who doesn't have any requirements as long as the rent is cheap.

Shao Zidi walked slowly, like walking.

Don't worry about going back, I'm alone, there's no nightlife, just look at the fun of life, it doesn't matter if I go back later.

But as he walked, he felt something was wrong.

At night in the city, the lights are brightly lit, and you can't see many stars in the blink of an eye.Unlike in his hometown, the summer night sky is often full of stars.

But in the past, I have never seen it like today... The night is as thick as ink, and the blackness falls, and it is almost connected with the distant land, making people shudder from the bottom of my heart.

Not to mention Shao Zidi walking alone at night.

Just now, I met some returning family members along the way. Now I turned left and right, but I didn't see half of them.

When the wind blew, his body trembled, frightened like a dog.

Today, it seems a bit unbalanced, Shao Zidi pinched his fingers... he took out his phone, and checked the calendar, well, the day goes by day by day, and he is almost dizzy.

Tomorrow, the [-]th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, just after midnight, Shao Zidi is also on the way to the Ghost Festival.

July and a half, ghost day... there are a lot of creepy words about this day.

Shao Zidi, a socialist successor, has awe and a little fear of ghosts and gods.

Especially, after he gave his parents a vigil seven years ago.

That day he knelt in the mourning hall alone until midnight, even though he knew that the ones lying in the wood of the coffin were his parents who loved him the most, but the wick was burning and the white cloth was shaking gently...In such an extremely depressing and weird environment, There was also a sudden "bang" sound from the wooden window blown by the wind, which scared the soul out of seven.

After being frozen for a while, he slowly turned his head to look...

Every window in this mourning hall was tightly blocked by a crossbar, and the surroundings were so quiet that it seemed that the air had been frozen.

There was no sign of a strong wind.

But under the tense nerves, how could he get it wrong? !unless……

Shao Zidi turned back with a pale face, and on the white candle in front of him that was as thick as a middle finger, there were two big moths at some point.

The moths, one big and one small, saw him turn his head, and flapped their wings at the same time, as if they were spiritual.

The black spots on both sides of the wings are like two rounded black eyeballs, staring faintly at Shao Zidi.

The old man said that moths are the souls of the dead, and they like to hover over the places where they left their memories during their lifetime.

Shao Zidi considered himself a filial son, but in such a terrifying atmosphere, he was so frightened that he knocked his head to the ground, tears streaming down his face, and he didn't even have the strength to get up and run.

He believed that his parents loved him and would not hurt him, but he was still afraid of these two moths that gave goose bumps just by looking at them.

And those two coffins that were heavy and filled with the breath of death.

Lie on the ground like this all night, and didn't know when he fell asleep. The village chief came the next day and woke up Shao Zidi who had been kneeling for almost a night.

The village head thought that Shao Zidi was heartbroken, and passed out from crying, and comforted him, the living must live well.

He also said to him earnestly: Live well for his parents.

Shao Zidi just nodded and didn't mention a word about what happened last night.He was cowardly, and still thinking about his self-esteem, he didn't dare to say it, for fear of embarrassment.

Which kid in his late twenties would be afraid of two moths?I was so scared that I cried!

But after that, every time Shao Zidi thought about it, he would feel chills from the bottom of his heart.

He always felt that when he was lying on his stomach that day... two pairs of eyes on the top of his head were always looking at him.

There were many flying insects around under the street lamp, and some moths hit the light bulb emitting hot light desperately.

Shao Zidi shrank his neck, as if he was hiding from a bug that was knocked down, but also as if he was cold, and his pace was much faster than before.

After all, the day of July [-] is traditionally used to pay homage to ancestors.

It is also the day in the legend... the gate of hell is opened.

Often walk at night, easy to run into ghosts.

Before passing through a small alley, Shao Zidi found a red brick to hold it, and kept chanting "Amitabha", "Amitabha".

Bricks are used to ward off people, and mantras are used to ward off ghosts.

But even though he was mentally prepared, when he turned the corner, he was so frightened by the big black lump that he hiccupped.

That is to say, the hiccup didn't come out, but it was all swallowed back. It was as uncomfortable as it really was.

If the distance is close, Shao Zidi can recite "Amitabha Buddha" in one mouthful and throw a brick away with the other hand.

After he calmed down, he took a closer look and found that there was actually a person squatting there.

Not like a normal person.

Shao Zidi held the brick tightly, leaned sideways against the wall on the right, and slowly moved forward.

As soon as he approached, he heard the black stone making a whispering sound, but he couldn't hear what he was saying.

This is not important at all, what is important is that there is no one in front of and around Black Stone except him!Babbling, a man was talking to himself there.

More and more unlike a normal person.

But the closer he got, Shao Zidi also saw clearly what the man was wearing, he wasn't a wandering fool, he was sloppy with torn sleeves and trousers.Although he was dressed in black and black trousers, he could see that the fabric was good and not torn, so he was probably mentally retarded.

In the middle of the night, Shao Zidi didn't want to be troublesome.

But when it was parallel to it, I still couldn't help but glanced at the black stone, just this one glance, I couldn't help it, and cursed in shock.

"I go!"

There was a snake coiled around Heishi's feet!

The snake was about half a meter long, a little thinner than his wrist, and a dark red wooden stick was pressed on its neck (?).

And the other end of the stick was lazily held by the black stone.

Where did the idiot come from, to beat the snake with a wooden stick!

Are you really not afraid of being bitten?Look at the triangular head, it should be a poisonous snake!

Seven inches was obviously not found!

But it was also obvious that the snake that was pinned down by its neck (?) didn't move at all, as if it was pinned down by that wooden stick, very well behaved.

This very weird scene made Shao Zidi silent.

Shao Zidi has seen a fool, you must not provoke this kind of person, it's like a dog's skin plaster, once it sticks on, you can't even shake it off.

So when he saw the other party's gaze falling, with strangeness and scrutiny, Shao Zidi quickly pretended that nothing happened, raised his head and walked forward.

Unexpectedly, something happened when he raised his head.

The alley was not cleaned properly, a piece of melon rind was hidden in the darkness, and Shao Zidi happened to step on it.

His feet slipped, and he was about to fall on all fours. In a critical moment...he only had time to shout, "Ah!"

"Gudong."

It seemed that something fell in when he opened his mouth, and he swallowed it all at once.But after careful aftertaste, there is no smell at all.

But the stomach is warm.

When Shao Zidi was in a daze, suddenly there was a curse from the left that seemed both startled and angry.

"Fuck Nima!"

It seems to be him.

Shao Zidi frowned and looked over, wanting to teach the idiot not to swear at others, but his eyes followed and hurt like boiling oil, so he rubbed them.

The pain came and went quickly, and disappeared in a flash.

"Handsome guy, you..." Shao Zidi had just started, but the rest of his words were completely blown away by the scene in front of him.

A snake wrapped in black air, no, a python, no, no, there is no python that can't be hugged by four or five people, even the anacondas in the Amazon are not so long!

The strange snake was not only big, but also flicked its tail desperately, as if struggling, the tip of the huge tail slammed on the wall of the alley, as hard as a steel cone!The wall was made of concrete, and a large hole nearly half a meter was pierced.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise.

If it weren't for the small number of people living in this area, someone would have opened the window and yelled: It's so noisy!What are you doing outside? !

When the wall fell to the ground and the dust was flying all over the sky, Shao Zidi finally determined that he was not dreaming, but really saw a huge strange snake!

The strange snake seemed to be in pain, making a sharp cry, and frantically threw its tail on the ground again and again, and the source of the pain seemed to be the wooden stick that fell on the snake.

The wood and the dark scales rubbed against each other to produce a trace of fire, and it didn't ignite unreasonably. A strange snake that could swallow a lion in one bite killed the wooden stick that seemed to be broken by him lightly. Hold it down.

And that black stone whom he defines as a fool doesn't seem to be having an easy time either.

"Hiss!" The strange snake shook its head violently.

Following a dark light, a powerful airflow rushed over, Shao Zidi slammed into the wall fiercely, just spit out his ashes with a "bah", when he saw the strange snake flicking its tail, overcoming the gravitational force of the earth, and flying away up.

Shao Zidi: "..."

Hei Shishi walked over, the shadow fell, without hesitation, he stretched out his hand and pulled Shao Zidi up, "Are you okay?"

Shao Zidi's whole body was sore, and he was afraid and frightened of this man.In the face of powerful people, before he can't tell the difference between friend and foe, he always avoids them.

"fine."

After speaking, I was ready to slip.

But maybe he was too obvious, the man suddenly pressed his hand against the wall, just blocking his way.

"Going in such a hurry?"

Shao Zidi's gaze wandered, "Ah. It's getting late, it's time to go home."

The man stood up straight, with a faint smile, "It's not too late, the day is still bright..."

Shao Zidi didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he fixed his eyes on his toes and said, "It's not bright, it's very dark, and I can't see anything in the dark!"

"Puchi!" the man laughed.

Shao Zidi's face darkened, what do you mean, laughing at him?

The man suddenly lowered his voice, he was much more serious, and he spoke Mandarin, but he always felt like he was a scumbag, "They're all old men, I won't fool you..."

"What did you see just now?"
