Chapter 20

What's going on?

"Dad, where are we?" I rubbed my eyelids and asked my dad.

My dad's head was full of cold sweat, pinching the steering wheel and muttering: "Why are you spinning around in place?"

"What? Dad." I rubbed my eyelids and asked my dad.

My dad looked at me and covered up his face: "It's nothing, girl, you continue to sleep, you have reached the border of Jilin."

"What's the matter?" I always feel that things are not simple.

My dad looked solemn, and told me after a while, "We have passed the toll booth of Dongling Expressway three times since we got on the expressway."

Ghost hitting the wall?
I was startled, and when I looked up, my dad handed over the card at the toll booth again.

The bright sign on the toll booth reads: "Dongling Expressway Toll Station."

"In the middle of the night, are you going around in circles?" The uncle of the toll booth poked his head out of the toll window and asked, "You have come here three times, what's going on?"

"Dude, is there an exit from the expressway ahead?" My dad asked my uncle.

"That's right, there is an intersection 10 kilometers ahead, to Dongxingtun." Uncle said, handing the toll card to my dad.

"Walk around Dongxingtun and go back to the toll booth?" My dad asked again.

"Yes, what's the matter with you?" Uncle was very puzzled by my dad's behavior of circling at high speed.

My dad looked very ugly. He took the toll card and didn't drive the car away in a hurry. Instead, he sat in the car and looked around. He saw a high-speed rest stop 100 meters away before starting the big run.

"I can't go tonight," my dad muttered in a low voice. In my dad's consciousness, he had been driving in a straight line, but when he kept driving, he returned to the Dongling Tollgate.

Obviously this is a ghost hitting a wall.

I know this, and so does my dad, so the safest way now is to find a place to stop and rest. The sun will come out tomorrow morning, and the ghost will disappear by hitting the wall.

I have a doubt in my heart, is there a ghost who doesn't want me to meet Taoist Wentian?
That's the only way to explain it at the moment.

My dad drove to the rest station of Dongling Expressway. This rest station is quite big and luxurious. There is a gas station outside, and large trucks are parked inside the gas station.

There is a 3-story building next to it. Go in, and there is a high-speed hotel inside.

"Open one," my dad handed the things to the little brother at the front desk.

"399," the little brother yawned, and got a room card for my dad.

"Girl, let's have a good sleep tonight and leave tomorrow morning, don't be afraid." My dad went to the hotel room, carried me to the hotel bed, pulled the quilt over me.

"Dad, are you scared?" I opened my bright eyes and looked at my dad.

Grown-ups get scared too, right?
"Just kidding!" My dad laughed, "Dad can still be afraid? Dad tell you a story? Once upon a time~"

My dad started to talk: "In the past, it was very cold in Daxing'an Mountains. Before the new year in winter, people who went to the mountains to cut firewood in the village always disappeared for no reason..."

what!God, my unreliable father, do you want to tell me a ghost story at this time?

I grabbed the edge of the quilt, terrified.

"One day, a farmer went to cut firewood. After entering the mountain, it was very cold and snowy. Suddenly, he heard a woman's voice saying: I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry~"

"The farmer was startled and thought it was a female ghost. Looking around, he saw a mud jar in the snowdrift. The woman's voice came from the mud." My dad said vividly, "The farmer was so scared that the jar Looking from the side, I heard the woman inside say, "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry..."

"The farmer put the cornbread cornbread he brought into the jar. The woman in the jar said: Thank you. Then he threw a piece of gold from the jar. The piece of gold was as big as the cornbread cornbread. The farmer was shocked. , It turns out that the jar is a jar essence.

"The farmer and the jar said: No reward for no merit, I can't ask for your gold, a piece of dry food, it's not worth so much money. The woman in the jar said: Take it, you are a good man, I will repay you, next spring Before that, don’t come to the mountain again.”

"Is the jar a good person or a bad person? Did she eat the missing person in the village?" I listened intently, and the children's questions were always superficial.

"Listen to my dad going on," my dad cleared his throat, "the farmer didn't ask for money. He was afraid of getting into trouble. He went back to the village and told everyone that he couldn't go up the mountain before the spring. Tell the villagers about the jar."

"Several villagers suddenly became greedy. They took dry food and went to the mountain to find the spirit of the jar, but they never came back. The farmer was excluded by the villagers, saying that he was a fairy, and they wanted to burn him to death. It was one night. Then, the villagers lit a big fire, tied up the farmer, and lifted him onto the fire with a stick like a pig."

"Is he dead?" I was anxious, he couldn't die.

"At this time, a gust of black evil wind swept into the village with a cool feeling."

"Is it a pot spirit?" I was terrified.

"It's not the jar spirit, it's the black bear spirit." My dad closed his eyes and told me: "The people who disappeared before were all eaten by the black bear spirit. This time, the black bear spirit ate five people in a row."

OMG, what a big belly.

"At this time, there was another burst of white immortal energy from the mountain, and a jar was vaguely seen in the immortal energy."

Wow, the jar finally made its debut!
"The jar spirit ate the black bear spirit and saved the farmer. After eating the black bear spirit, it regained its physical strength and turned into an 18-year-old girl. It is very beautiful, but its mouth is so big that it is cracked to the size of the ear."

"Tanzi untied the farmer himself, and said: Thank you, I was injured a few days ago and couldn't show people in human form, thanks to your cornbread, I will repay you."

"After finishing speaking, the jar spirit disappeared. Since then, no woodcutter has disappeared, and the farmer has also become the village head. The whole village is getting richer~"

After my dad finished telling the story, I always felt that the story was rushed. Where is the jar essence?What happened to her?
Logically speaking, shouldn't she be a farmer's wife or something?Isn't that how the story is told?

My dad saw what I was thinking and smiled awkwardly: "Girl, this story is to tell you that you must be kind, and good luck is waiting for you."

"Oh." I rolled my eyes, lay down on the bed and closed my eyes to sleep.

This room looks luxurious, but there is always a musty smell, probably because the quilt has not been dried for a long time.

My dad said before that when he was a child, his family was poor, and the quilt was moldy repeatedly, and he had no money to replace it, so he smelled the moldy smell, and fell asleep comfortably as a habit.

Because I slept in the car before, I was not sleepy at all, but my eyes were closed.

Water drops in the bathroom, tick-tock, tick-tock, rhythmic tick-tock.

This reminds me of some serious questions. When I meet Taoist Tian, ​​will he really tell my dad to find me a foster home?

I don't want to go to other people's houses.

I was a little sad, and I became more and more energetic. There was a faint cool breeze blowing on my face. I thought to myself, there must be an air leak through the window.

"Hehe~" A mocking laugh sounded in my ears.

I opened my eyes instantly, and the moment I opened my eyes, I saw a woman with big shawl hair in front of me, who disappeared in seconds.

"Ahhh!" I sat up and screamed, with the outline of her shoulder-length hair in front of my eyes.

"Dad!" I screamed and shook my dad's body. My dad's 160-jin checkered body didn't move at all, and he snored loudly.

"Jiang Long!~" The woman's gloomy voice sounded from behind again, softly.

"Dad!" I saw that my dad couldn't be woken up at all, so I ran out of the room, trying to find someone to wake my dad up.

There are ghosts in this house.

The voltage in the corridor was unstable, and the lights were flickering blue cremation. Suddenly, a female ghost with shawl hair appeared in front of my eyes. She was lying on the ground, her face was as pale as paper, she was wearing a white nightdress, and her eyes were shrunk into black spots. The calf was bleeding.

She was crawling towards me, dragging two lines of deep red bloodstains on the ground.

"Jiang Long~Jiang Long~" The voice was like claws scratching glass, sharp and ear-piercing.

"!!" I was so frightened that I trembled all over, my eyes were straightened, and I felt my tongue sticking to my throat, and my fear reached the limit.

Suddenly, the door of the room next to me opened, and a man came out in his nightgown.

"Help!" I screamed and hugged his thigh.
