Yin-Yang Judge of Hell - C28

The glass said we were moving ahead, south, and he said there was a shadow bouncing. I looked closely and saw nothing out of the ordinary. I said no, did you see it wrong?

“Look at the ground in front of us, there are a lot of black shadows more than a foot tall.”

I looked up again and sure enough, there were many small shadows about ten meters away from us. Most of them were about a foot tall and two feet tall.

F * ck, what was that thing? As I was thinking, I saw countless small black shadows begin to bounce towards me. As the distance between us got closer and closer, I borrowed Uncle Fu’s light source to finally discover that this black shadow’s appearance was similar to a normal person’s. It had arms and legs. But even though I could see their shapes, they were still dressed in black, with no facial features or other details that made them resemble a group of shadows.

The shadows were running fast, and in the blink of an eye they were right in front of us, dancing around us as if in a circle dance. People are afraid of the unknown, and so are we.

We stopped at the same time and looked at them, not daring to move.

“This thing is the most difficult to deal with, so don’t provoke them or pay attention to them,” the leopard seemed to have understood something, “Otherwise he will be targeting you.”

“Then what do we do?” I asked.

“Wait!” When they leave, remember not to make a sound. ”

Then a shadow jumped up to my feet, and a chill ran up my ankles and made me shiver. I didn’t want to move, but I couldn’t stand the cold, and it didn’t seem like it was going to leave. I wanted to lift my foot and throw it away, but then I realized that I couldn’t lift my foot at all. It was as if my feet weren’t even mine, and they were nailed to the ground.

I looked at the glass and saw that he was also anxious. His palms were covered in sweat, and it was obvious that he had encountered the same situation as me. We looked at each other to see if we could move our feet. We pulled at each other, and then the upper part of our bodies came close to each other, but the lower half stayed there. Now that my mind was clear, I knew that the shadows were only there to pin our feet to the ground. The rest of our bodies could still move, and their purpose was to keep us from leaving. Just what was this thing?

“Look, someone’s coming.” Glass suddenly said.

I looked up and saw a man walking slowly from the southeast. A kilometer to the southeast was a large field, and that man was walking directly from the field. I could not see the man’s face or his clothes, for the light was dim, and I could only make out the vague outline of a figure. The man was tall and a little thin. This figure gave me a sense of familiarity, and suddenly I felt something churning deep within me.

That person was holding something in his hand. Like a vine, he came to the side of the road and stood in the middle of the black shadows. He shouted, “Scram, Scram! This is my grandson!” As he spoke, he used the rattan in his hand to hit the black shadows.

As the person continued to beat me up and curse me nonstop, the number of black shadows gradually decreased. The person also gradually moved closer to us, I kept staring at others as I thought back to his words, “Get lost, this is my grandson”.

It wasn’t until the man was within five meters of us that I remembered who he was. He couldn’t help but burst into tears and sob. This person was none other than my grandfather, who had passed away several years ago. I grew up with my grandfather. No matter where he went, he would bring me with him to graze, gather and feed the cattle. I was always with him. His back and voice were the most profound things in my memories. After Grandpa died, we buried him northwest of the Lone Hill, according to his request. The lone mountain was also a small mountain. It was located one kilometer south of Bu Shandong Province.

He lay in that land, his head turned southeast to the lone mountain, his feet on the northwest, overlooking the entire southern part of the mountain. It must have been because he knew I was being bullied that he stood up to help me out.

The black shadows on the road ahead had already been cleared out, and the shadows four laps below us seemed to be terrified. They all turned around and ran away without a trace. Pappy stopped five meters away from me and stared at me. It was still tall, a little thin, with high cheekbones, and I couldn’t see anything else, and I wished the light in Uncle Fu’s hand would be brighter, so I could see better.

“I’m sorry, grandfather, I shouldn’t have disturbed you.” I choked.

Then my grandfather waved to me, and a light breeze blew by, and he was gone. I collapsed to the ground, wailing. Countless nights after my grandfather’s death, I often dreamed of him and would wake up crying in the middle of the night. I had hoped to see him again, and I was not afraid to see him again, even if he was a human being. But since they had met this time, why couldn’t they spend a bit more time?

At this moment, Glass squatted down and asked in a low voice, “What happened to you? Why are you so sad?”

I saw my grandfather, and he came to my rescue.

“Huh?” Glass was shocked. “That person was really your grandfather. When I saw this figure appear and disappear in a flash, I thought I saw wrongly. ”

It seems that only I was able to see the entire process, and only I knew why the group of black figures suddenly disappeared. I looked over to where my grandfather’s grave was. I couldn’t bear to leave it.

We turned onto the main road and walked back along the east and west roads. The leopard cat and Laifu were still in the lead, while I stayed at the back. Once on the road, the leopard cat said to me, “Once in a while, I will call ‘Zhao Yinglian, come home.’”

I know about this thing. In the past, rural children lost their souls, so they often do this. They bring the child to the place where their souls were lost to find their souls. Now that the leopard cat had found Zhao Yinglian’s soul, the next step was to send her home. However, due to the long journey, she had to call out every now and then to prevent her soul from being lost again. This is called soul luring.

Just like this, the leopard cat called out, “Zhao Yinglian, let’s go home.” I immediately followed up with a “Coming!”. Coming out like this in the middle of the night would drive anyone crazy, especially if they knew we were screaming. As soon as we entered the village, we heard all the dogs in the village barking like crazy. The leopard said, “This won’t do, it’ll scare the soul away. Let’s go to the edge of the village.”

Since Zhao Yinglian’s hometown is in the northeast of our village, there is still more than 20 miles to go until we reach it. If we just walk like this, the sky might already turn dark by the time we return. So I let the glass drive, and we went around the edge of the village to the northeast entrance, where we met up.

After walking for nearly twenty minutes, we saw the car parked there.

We got into the car one after the other, and the leopard asked Uncle Laifu to hand me the lamp and let me sit in front. He meant that there would be a lot of things blocking the way, and I would be able to keep them in check by sitting in front.

I said I didn’t have any magic power, so how could I intimidate them?

This has nothing to do with mana. As long as I sit there, they won’t dare to act rashly.

The leopard cat warned the glass again: First, slow down; second, don’t stop to pick up people; third, if there’s something in the way, don’t bother to drive straight past.

We headed for Mrs. Zhao’s hometown, Zhao Zhuang.

Zhao Zhuang, I’ve been there before. It’s a small village, located in the plains. There’s a large river to the north of the village. Between Zhao Zhuang and our village is a vast expanse of farmland, as far as the eye can see.

“Where are you going to bury her?” I asked.

“She doesn’t have any relatives now, so she doesn’t have any land of her own. We’ll just find a plot of land to bury in.” The leopard cat said.

The car lurched and then stopped.

“What’s going on?” I asked.

“The road is too bad. I think the wheels are stuck in a ditch and won’t be able to move.” He tried a few more times, but the car wouldn’t get in.

I gave the lamp to the leopard cat to carry, and then I got off the cart with Uncle Fu. When I got out of the car, I stepped on the sand. It was soft and comfortable. Uncle Laifu and I went to the back to see what was going on. But it was too dark to see anything. I estimated that this period of time was the darkest before dawn. It seemed that the sky would soon brighten.

Laifu took out his lighter and struck it. I took advantage of the weak light to clearly see the situation of the car. All four wheels were buried in the sand, and the car’s chassis was propped up by the protruding part of the road. As a result, the four wheels were almost completely empty. Moreover, the sand was extremely mobile, so the wheels were unable to move at all.

I said, “Glass, pull off the steering wheel as you go, and see if you can support yourself on both sides of the wheel.”

At this moment, Uncle Laifu’s lighter was extinguished. The lighter could not stay lit for too long, it was very dangerous. The glass started the engine and the wheels began to turn, sending the surrounding sand flying backward. Laifu lit his lighter again, and as the glass spun, the wheels began to move slowly up the side. I was so excited that I succeeded. Just as I was about to retract my eyes, I suddenly found a person lying under the car. This person had two pale hands tightly holding onto the other wheel. The man slowly raised his head and looked at me. He gave me a strange smile.

I suddenly felt my scalp go numb, but I couldn’t help but shout, “Scram!”

When Laifu heard my scolding, he knew something was wrong. He immediately took out his lighter and leaned over. After looking for a long time, he still didn’t find anything abnormal. The person from before had long disappeared without a trace. Then the glass started the engine again, and the car rushed up and went very well. It seemed that the ghost was really up to something. After I shouted at it, it actually ran away in fear.

The rest of the way we did pretty well, except for the fact that the glass almost drove the car into the ditch, which he explained was that the steering wheel wasn’t working, but I think it was still a ghost block.

When we arrived at Zhao Zhuang, the sky was still dark. We opened up a simple grave in another piece of wasteland at night, and the leopard cat put Old Lady Zhao’s skeleton in it. Then she held the lamp in her hand and said, “Let’s go home.” Then she put the lamp in the grave as well, and we filled in the soil and burned some paper money. By then it was broad daylight and we were back in the car in our own village.

The leopard said we had done a great service this time. Let’s go back and have a good rest. Then he got out of the car and went home. Uncle Fu had to take care of Aunt Gui Hua, so he was in a hurry to go back.

Glass and I had a casual breakfast, then we climbed onto the bed to sleep. When I woke up again, the sun was going down.

I stood up. “Glass up.”

“What?”
