What is it like to be teased by a ghost?

Life is not only living in front of you, but also living in tomorrow.

——Guo Qi's diary

I don’t know when it started, Guo Qi felt that her life became boring. This is reflected in the fact that the life of "company", "restaurant" and "home" has become "home" and "home". 'Spin in place, but Guo Qi never felt that changing from a high-level white-collar worker to a housewife is a matter of falling apart, all because she has an excellent husband and lovely children.

Chen Zhang has become even busier since he was promoted, socializing until very late every day, and when he returns home, he often falls asleep on the bed without saying a word. Guo Qi is a sensible woman, and she doesn't complain too much about her husband. On the contrary, he carefully ironed the clothes for him to wear the next day. His daughter Chen Xue is seven years old. Although her material life is very sufficient, she has not developed a spoiled and arrogant bad temper, but is well-behaved and sensible. This is also gratifying to Guo Qi place.

But everything changed a few days ago, Chen Zhang was still so busy, and it was too early to get home at two o'clock in the middle of the night, but the sensitive Guo Qi still discovered the difference in her husband, first in Chen Zhang Another woman’s hair was found on Zhang’s clothes, and then Chen Zhang’s cell phone had changed its unlock pattern. Guo Qi had no intention of using these tricks to tie up her husband. But this incident was like a signal, which was lit after she received a call from a strange woman.

Before it was over, my daughter Chen Xue also began to become strange. In the past, when her daughter returned home and dropped her schoolbag, she would throw herself into her arms and act like a baby, but her daughter became more and more indifferent. First she didn't want Guo Qi to enter her room, and then she started to pick , Dislike this tasteless, dissatisfied with that, logically speaking, if this kind of behavior happened when Chen Xue was in adolescence, Guo Qi would not find it strange, but now Chen Xue looks indifferent and ignores her, as if she was a different person .

Yes, for a different person, my husband and daughter are like strangers living at home.

If it's just a simple family crisis, Guo Qi is confident that she can handle it well. The mistress is not terrible. She knows Chen Zhang too well. A man who has worked hard for more than ten years, after marrying her, his status will drop overnight. Jumping so high, even if such a person is so carried away, as long as he communicates with his parents, Chen Zhang will immediately restrain himself. After all, the higher he climbs, the worse he falls, and he is the one who controls it. As for the person with the ladder, Chen Zhang was also afraid that Guo Qi would pull the ladder away, so he had nothing to rely on.

It's even easier for the daughter, after all, it fell from her own stomach. As long as you have a good talk with your daughter, take her out for a few laps, and get closer to the relationship between mother and daughter, no amount of estrangement will dissipate, but... let Guo Qi feel The frightening thing was that Chen Zhang and Chen Xue didn't behave like their own family members at all, or rather, it seemed as if something sneaked into their home suddenly and replaced their children and husband.

Guo Qi recalled that there was a legend in his hometown that there was a kind of ghost in the mountains called shadow-thirsty, who lived on locust trees all year round. This kind of ghost would eat the shadow of pedestrians enjoying the shade under the tree, and then pretended to be the shadow of the other party and followed him home. , Back home, the Shadowthirsty will gradually eat away at this person's sanity and gradually replace it. This person's living habits will lead to a different temperament and behavior.My hometown calls this kind of ghost upper body.

When hearing such stories before, Guo Qi just laughed it off, but when things around her started to become weird, she couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

"Mom, what are you doing, I'm hungry!" Chen Xue yelled dissatisfiedly when she stood behind Guo Qi.

Guo Qi withdrew her thoughts. There was still some fear on her face, and she tried to pull out a smile. Guo Qi said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my mother was distracted. The meal is almost ready."

Chen Xue glanced into the pot and was very dissatisfied, "Mom, you cooked the steak so well again, didn't I tell you that I want the steak to be medium rare?"

Guo Qi shook her hand holding the shovel. The steak itself is not easy to cook. In the past, Chen Xue inherited herself, no matter what she ate, she resolutely refused to eat uncooked food, but now Chen Xue is very partial to food with blood. One point, even Chen Zhang is the same.

Thinking of Chen Zhang, the door of the living room opened.

When Chen Zhang came back, he looked at Guo Qi who was still busy in the kitchen, and his face became very ugly, "What time is it, why hasn't the meal been cooked yet?"

Guo Qi glanced at the time, "It's only four o'clock, aren't you still at work?"

Chen Zhang pulled the tie around his neck and threw it on the sofa casually, "What job do you have? That guy Zhang Hua made things difficult for me several times and scolded me in front of the client today. I couldn't take it anymore and beat him up." Meal."

Guo Qi was very surprised, "You... hit someone?"

"What's wrong with beating people? Is it possible that only others are allowed to bully me and not let me bully back?"

Guo Qi paused, trying to put it mildly, "It's not right for him to make things difficult for you, but beating someone can't solve the problem, it's not good."

In the past, Chen Zhang was a very honest person, even if he was really wronged, he would endure it silently, why is he like a barbarian now?

Chen Zhang sneered, "You bitch, your husband is being bullied, you don't help your husband, instead you blame me, it's shameful."

Regarding Chen Zhang's insults, Guo Qi's face turned green, taking into account that Chen Xue was still on the side, she didn't make a sound.

As for Chen Xue, she still had a cold face, as if she had nothing to do with it.

"time to eat."

No matter what, there is still food to eat, even if she has made so many wild guesses and has not been confirmed, Guo Qi doesn't want to attribute it to superstition.

Chen Xue fiddled with the steak on the plate with a knife, as if she was very dissatisfied with the meal, but Chen Zhang ate very deliciously, without using a knife and fork, just grabbed the food with her hands and stuffed it into her mouth.

Seeing Chen Zhang eating and chewing, Guo Qi thought of animals for some reason. Chen Zhang's eating looks like a wild beast, ferocious and savage, Guo Qi felt uneasy in her heart, she suddenly felt that it would be When she woke up one night, Chen Zhang ate her.

"It's just such a small piece, it's not enough to eat, is there any more?" Chen Zhang's mouth was full of ketchup, and he looked even more terrifying.

Guo Qi put down the fork in her hand, "Yes."

In just two days, Chen Zhang's appetite was astonishingly large, and he ate a whole twelve kilograms of meat.

After eating and drinking, Chen Zhang took his coat and went out. Before going out, Guo Qi heard him hide in the toilet to answer the phone. Guo Qi was so irritable that she fell asleep early.

Guo Qi dreamed that she was eating with Chen Zhang and her daughter. Chen Zhang was still like a black hole that could not be filled, and Chen Xue still disliked that the meat was not raw enough. The two of them ate and ate, and finally stared at him with greedy eyes. himself, and then the two of them suddenly turned into two green-haired monsters with two horns on top of their heads, rushing towards them.

Guo Qi woke up suddenly.She stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling that she was about to suffocate. The fear and pain in the nightmare seemed to spread to reality. Guo Qi was sweating profusely, and her hands and feet were still unable to move after slowing down for a long time. This feeling of powerlessness was really terrifying. She was so scared that she wanted to run away.

After a while, Guo Qi sat up slowly. She was extremely thirsty. It was only twelve o'clock in the evening, and Chen Zhang didn't seem to be back yet. She was wearing slippers and was going to the kitchen to drink some water to calm her nerves.

Before reaching the kitchen, Guo Qi heard a rustling noise in the kitchen, like a mouse gnawing on the furniture, or like some large animal panting hard. Guo Qi was a little scared, could it be that a thief broke into the house?

Due to motherhood, the first thing Guo Qi thought of was her daughter. She was afraid that Chen Xue would be in danger, so she bravely picked up a golf club from the side and walked towards the kitchen.

The kitchen was dark, and Guo Qi didn't dare to turn on the light. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing unusual. When he walked into the kitchen, Guo Qi found that the door of the refrigerator was open, and Chen Xue was squatting on the ground eating.

Seeing that it was Chen Xue, Guo Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "Xue'er, if you are hungry, call mom, the things in the refrigerator are cold, and you will easily get sick if you eat them."

Chen Xue didn't eat too much when eating in the afternoon, so it's not surprising that she would be hungry.But when Guo Qi put her hand on her daughter's shoulder and her daughter turned around, Guo Qi was taken aback.

What Chen Xue ate was the raw beef that Guo Qi bought back in the afternoon. Chen Xue gnawed more than half of the five-pound beef, and the rough tendons and blood vessels were clearly visible. Half of Chen Xue's face was covered with blood and meat residue.

Guo Qi trembling lips did not speak for a long time, Chen Xue saw this, then ate the beef in her hand, Chen Xue finished eating, wiped her mouth casually, ignored Guo Qi and went back to her room.

……

The next day, Guo Qi finally mustered up the courage to call her parents. On the phone, Guo Qi told her parents what had happened in the past few days in horror. If Guo Qi could tell herself that it was her I thought about it, but after what happened last night, Guo Qi only had deep fear in her mind.

Guo Qi's parents naturally didn't believe it, and they felt even more absurd when they heard Guo Qi talking about the shadow monster. The discussion failed, so Guo Qi had to hang up the phone and find a way by herself.

If these two people in the family are not human beings, can we get rid of them just by asking a master to do it, and then save my husband and daughter.

Guo Qi made up her mind that she didn't want to stay at home for a minute, so she took the key and went out.
