C3 Night Play
A child born with white fur all over his body, no matter where he went, he would be treated as a monster!
And I was exactly like that!
Although on the surface, those people did not say anything to my family, in the back, they were all calling me a freak!
In short, no matter where I went, I would be hated by everyone!
This way, it also made me develop an introverted and antisocial personality since I was young.
For this matter, my big uncle had been angry for a long time! However, every time, he would be suppressed by my father!
My father was an honest person. Although he could be considered the most capable person in our Chen family, he did not like to argue with others. Maybe the heavens could not bear to see it, so on the year I was seven, my life underwent a tremendous change!
In our village, there was an unwritten rule. When an old man died, it was considered a sign that he was about to pass away! It could be considered a happy event!
Since it was a happy event, then he had to celebrate it properly!
Therefore, the rich families would put on a show, and the poor families would think of ways to kill pigs and slaughter sheep. They would invite the villagers to eat a banquet!
Of course, this kind of banquet was not for nothing. It required red packets!
And the change in my life was all about this!
I remember that year, in our village, there was an old man with the surname Bai. He suddenly flew into the sky overnight. It was not until the next morning that the son of the Old Master Bai found out!
Since it was a celebration, it was a happy occasion! Therefore, the Bai family people paid to invite the villagers to help set up the stage. Then, they asked someone to find a group of people who specialized in singing for dead people in the neighboring village.
The so-called night show usually started at around six o'clock in the evening. After that, it would continue until ten o'clock in the evening before it ended. It cost a few hundred yuan!
Therefore, at around six o'clock that night, the entire troupe started to perform on the stage.
At that time, there was no entertainment in the village. Once the sky turned dark, other than sleeping, they would be at home and giving birth to their children. Therefore, when they saw that there was a night show to watch, they would bring melon seeds and fruits to watch the show.
Uncle was a person who could not stay idle! So, he brought me here.
Since Uncle had no children, he was especially good to me!
At that time, I was only seven years old. Naturally, I did not know how to sing! I just watched the two people on the stage jumping around, and it felt very interesting!
Because it was not a professional troupe, the actors were basically very few in number. They only brought a mask and went on stage to perform.
Gradually, I felt that the person in the white costume on the stage seemed to be light and floating. It was as if he was about to fly!
It was said that the eyes of a child were the cleanest. Therefore, they could see things that adults couldn't.
However, I didn't understand those things at that time. I thought that person was born like that, so I didn't say anything.
Less than half an hour after the start of the show, the class master of the troupe came to the stage in a fluster and interrupted the two people's performance. Then, he cupped his fists at the audience and smiled embarrassedly. "Everyone, I'm really sorry! Because of a sudden situation in our class, we have to leave the stage now! Please don't mind!"
The so-called "leaving the stage" meant that they were not going to act anymore!
Hearing this, the people watching the show couldn't help but shout.
The people from the Bai family were even more unhappy!
Therefore, they came out to argue with the class master.
The class master was easy to talk to. He didn't want any of the money today. The half an hour before was just for him to work for free!
Hearing the other party say that, Bai Laoqi, the son of the deceased, couldn't help but hesitate. He seemed to want to forget about it! After all, he had taken advantage of the situation!
At this time, my uncle stood out and said to the class master, "This is not a matter of money! You should have the rules of acting in a night show. To leave the stage halfway, that is disrespect to the deceased! It is very likely to cause trouble! So, you must give me an explanation today. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving!"
Our family is quite influential in the village! So, the moment Uncle said this, the surrounding people who were watching the show also started to shout.
The class master and the entire troupe were at a loss!
I realized that the person in the white costume was very calm. He just stood quietly on the stage without moving!
Seeing this situation, the class master was also very troubled! He also knew my uncle, so he didn't dare to offend him!
When he really had no other choice, he said to my uncle, "Mr. Chen …"
Because Fang Yuan and the other villages respected our family, they all called me uncle! My father was the second master!
"Originally, I didn't want to say this, I just wanted to leave. But since you guys asked, I can only tell the truth!"
He paused for a moment and continued, "We are all doing evil things. You know the rules of our profession! The people in the troupe have always kept to one person! And we have always had eleven people, including me, in our troupe. And all of them are old people! But just now, I accidentally counted the number of people on the stage, and I found that there were twelve people on stage. And the people below the stage are all our own people. In other words, there is one person on stage that we don't know!"
Hearing his words, the people around him stopped talking!
The class master continued, “To be honest, we have encountered all kinds of things in our line of work! Such things are usually very scary! Because, the person who is acting with us might not be a human!”
Hearing the class master’s words, the people around him were a little scared!
In the middle of the night, such a thing suddenly happened. Who wouldn’t be scared?
Uncle laughed and said, “That’s enough. Isn’t it just an extra person who is pretending to be someone else? Why are you making such a big fuss? We can just go over and see who he is.”
As he spoke, Uncle ignored the class master and jumped onto the stage. He went straight to the person in the white costume and reached out his hand to grab the mask on that person’s face!
That person didn’t resist at all. He just stood there quietly and didn’t move at all!
Seeing the other person like this, Uncle was a little uncertain.
However, in this situation, it would be embarrassing for him to run down again!
Thus, Uncle gritted his teeth and said loudly, “Let me see who you are!”
As he spoke, Uncle took off the mask on that person’s face.
However, after the mask was taken off, we saw that there was nothing behind the mask! There was only a piece of clothing standing there! There was no one at all!
Moreover, after the mask was pulled off by his uncle, the set of clothes also scattered on the ground.
At this moment, everyone felt a chill behind their backs! It was as if someone was blowing cold wind on their necks in the cold winter! It made them shiver all over!
When he saw this situation, his uncle knew that he had caused trouble!
The class master was kind and just, so he said to his uncle, "Mr. Chen, I have also encountered this situation before. Normally, under such circumstances, the deceased would not die of old age. Instead, they would die by a stroke! So, you should quickly find your Second Master to help you!"
After saying this, the class master turned around and left with his subordinates!
When he left, the surrounding onlookers also reacted. They all called out to each other and ran home!
His uncle originally wanted to leave, but in order to make himself feel at ease, he decided to burn a stick of incense for the deceased.
So, we came to the outer room of the Bai family. We took seven sticks of incense from the table and lit them up, then inserted them into the incense burner.
Just as the seven sticks of incense were inserted into the incense burner, a shocking scene appeared!
Three of the seven incense sticks seemed to be burning up like they didn't care about their lives! In just a dozen seconds, they were all burned up!
The other four incense sticks were still emitting smoke!
Seeing the three short incense sticks and the four long incense sticks in front of him, my uncle was scared! He turned around and walked out without saying a word.
Bai Laoqi kept shouting at my uncle.
My uncle acted as if he didn't hear him and walked out of the Bai family's gate.
Although he had walked out, I couldn't get out no matter what I said.
For some reason, there seemed to be a transparent wall in front of me at this moment, blocking my way out of the gate. No matter how I walked forward, I would be blocked back!
However, there was nothing in front of me!
After walking a few steps, my uncle suddenly realized that I wasn't following him. He couldn't help but turn around and ask me, "Fann, why aren't you walking? What are you dawdling for?"
Seeing my uncle calling me, I walked out even harder. However, the result was still the same! I could not get out of this place at all!
In a moment of desperation, my eyes turned red!
Seeing my situation, my uncle understood that something had happened to me!
Thus, he quickly came back and asked me, "Fann, tell me, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing my uncle come back, I couldn't help but cry. Then, I told him, "I can't get out! There's something blocking me in front of me!"
When he heard my words, he immediately understood that I was being beaten by a ghost!
Thus, he started cursing at me! He even took off his clothes and kept beating me in the air.
However, the more scared I was, the more scared I became!
Not only me, even the people from the Bai family were scared by his appearance!
