C13 Ghost Lead (1)

The way that the goatee gave me was to gamble with my life, which made me very afraid to do what he did.

There was only me and a coffin left in the old yard, and it always gave me a strange feeling, as if something were swirling around me.

Adding on the fact that Liu Yuan's house was relatively remote, it seemed even more desolate. The surroundings did not have the sound of insects or the cries of poultry, it was completely dead silent.

At this point, I knew that I could only be afraid, but I did not have the choice or the opportunity to hesitate. No matter how the goatee's plan ends up, even if it's a life wager, I can only do as he says.

I took a deep breath and followed the goatee's instructions, using a cloth bag to carry the glutinous rice dung and incense. Then, with the help of a paper lantern, I pushed open the courtyard door.

The moment the door opened, a gust of cold wind blew into his face, and the flames under the lantern began to sway unstably, causing him to shudder in fear.

The heck! This wind was simply too inopportune. I looked up at the sky and saw that the moon was hidden in the clouds. I prayed that it wouldn't rain!

Just as he was thinking about this, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. Dammit, I'm afraid it will really rain. I don't dare to delay any longer and hurriedly stepped out.

Even though it was lit up by the paper lantern, the darkness was too dark, so my vision wasn't clear. The hazy shadows of the trees all around me were stimulating my spirit.

After all, it was my first time encountering such a strange operation. This was an unprecedented challenge for me. I was especially careful with every step I took. I stared at the paper lantern and counted in my heart.

After taking the seventh step, I carefully placed the paper lantern on the ground. Following the goatee's instructions, I lit an incense stick and placed the stick into the glutinous rice dung before placing it on the side of the road. The incense stick rose up like an old man.

Then he began to count the paper money. I took out my lighter and was about to start a fire when I suddenly thought back to last time with Granny Cat on the grave mountain.

Don't let that happen today! I muttered in my heart, seeing that the paper lantern beside me had an idea. She wasn't afraid of ten thousand, just in case! It was better to use ready-made fire.

Thus, I placed the paper money on the paper lantern. With just a little bit of it, it was fully ignited. I heaved a sigh of relief.

With the previous experience, the following steps were much simpler. But even so, I didn't dare to relax for even a second, fearing that there would be any mishap.

Maybe it was too much psychological pressure, in the dark I felt something was staring at me, always feeling very unnatural.

I braced myself and continued walking. In the silence of the night, my footsteps were very clear. It was this sound that added to my fear.

Halfway there, a sudden gust of cold wind blew by, causing me to shiver. I immediately stopped and protected the paper lantern in my hands. It was at this moment that I realized something was wrong.

I had clearly stopped, but I heard footsteps still echoing behind me.

Is someone following me? I was bewildered and uncertain. My heart was in my throat as I couldn't help but turn my head to look behind me. But as I recalled the goatee's warning, I could only forcefully endure it.

I felt my scalp tingle, wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, walked a few more steps, and then quickly stopped to listen.

"Ta ?" "Tap ?" "Ta ?"

The sound of footsteps from behind continued. In the silence of the night, I could clearly tell that it wasn't just me, but at least four or five people behind me.

At this point, I completely panicked. I took a deep breath and slowly turned my head back.

But just as I was about to turn back, the paper lantern in my hands suddenly dimmed, as if it was about to be extinguished. I turned my head quickly as the flames grew larger and returned to normal.

I heaved a sigh of relief and continued to walk forward. Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice sound out from behind me, "Liu Ding, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? "Hurry and come back with me."

It's the Granny Cat, I'm overjoyed. The footsteps from before should have belonged to Granny Cat, as she subconsciously turned her head back. But at this time, the flames of the paper lantern quickly dimmed.

The abnormality of the paper lantern pulled my line of sight back. At this point, the lantern returned to normal.
