Because the mountain path was not easy to walk on, and because he ran too fast, the Blind Grandma even fell.

Third Uncle and I were also shocked, and immediately helped Blind Grandma up. At that moment, I could clearly feel that Blind Grandma's body was trembling.

After standing up, Blind Grandma kept on shouting and walking away. The skin in her eyes twitched crazily, and she looked extremely terrified.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew from all directions, sending paper money flying everywhere. As the wind blew, I shuddered for some reason.

Seeing that the situation wasn't right, Third Uncle and I didn't dare to stay for long. We practically drove the Blind Grandma away from the grave in a flash. Being driven by us, Blind Grandma's legs were still kicking in the air while her mouth kept on urging us to run.

We ran down the mountain in a hurry, and only when we arrived at Uncle's house did we relax a little.

I asked Blind Grandma what was wrong, why did the incense burn so long and so short?

Blind Grandma shivered, she still had some lingering fear in her heart: "This is too dangerous, I can't take care of it, you guys find someone else to strangle!"

With that, Blind Grandma began to walk out with her walking stick.

Upon seeing this, Third Uncle and I immediately panicked. We hurriedly pulled Blind Grandma and begged her to save us.

As he begged, his Third Uncle finally knelt down.

Blind Grandma shook her head and sighed, she remained silent for a long while before saying: "It's not that I'm not going to help you, it's that I don't plan on letting you off. If your brother can survive tonight, then there's still a glimmer of hope.

Third Uncle and I were extremely scared and we immediately asked Blind Grandma if there was any way we could survive through tonight.

Blind Grandma sighed, and pointed at Big Uncle who was tied up on a tree, hinting for us to bring Big Uncle into the house first.

When Third Uncle and I came out, we discovered that Blind Grandma had taken out two things from the cloth bag.

One was a red candle and the other was a bag of soybeans.

The Blind Grandma pointed at the candle and said, "At midnight, light the candles. Take one each and guard the front and back doors respectively. Pay attention to the flame of the candle. When the flame is not normal, loosen it. Sprinkle out a handful of soybeans. At that time, no matter what you hear or see, you must not panic. You must guard the door and ensure that the candles are not extinguished. As long as he can endure until dawn, then his life will be in his hands … "

I swallowed and said what if the candle went out?

Blind Grandma grinned, revealing a mouthful of black teeth. "Once the candles are extinguished, you guys will not be able to stop me. At that time, run as far as you can!"

Hearing that, I immediately tensed up.

At this time, Blind Grandma took a handful of black ash from her pocket and wiped it all over Third Uncle and me, covering our foreheads, the tip of our noses and our chins.

I was a little curious, and asked Blind Grandma what did she mean by that.

Blind Grandma said, "This is the bottom of the wok. I hope the Kitchen Lord can protect the two of you at night."

After saying that, Blind Grandma turned and left. She couldn't even stay here anymore, and before she left, she even said that if he could endure through tonight, she would come and find her. If she couldn't make it, then there was no point in staying.

Third Uncle's expression was ugly, but he didn't say anything.

Regardless of whether this method worked or not, at least he had a bit more hope. After Blind Grandma left, Third Uncle and I ate some food and began to make preparations.

In the past, I didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but after the strange events of the past two days, I realized that something was wrong.

I've always wondered why my uncle suddenly became like this. Could it really be my cousin's ghost? Otherwise, it would be hard to explain what just happened.

But the problem was, there was someone else in the village who had run into evil before his uncle did.

If it was really because of my uncle's and Xiao Yue's adultery, my cousin wouldn't need to find trouble with others. I just couldn't figure it out.

Also, where did Xiao Yue go? Weren't you with Uncle previously? Why did she disappear when something happened to Eldest Uncle?

Thinking about this, I felt that my thoughts were in a mess. There were too many questions I couldn't figure out, but my uncle's situation was dangerous, so thinking too much was useless. I could only help him survive tonight.

The sun quickly set. When the sky gradually darkened, Third Uncle and I began to guard the gate according to the instructions given by the Blind Grandma.

I stood guard at the front door, while Third Uncle stood guard at the back door. Neither of us could see the other.

It was getting dark and I was getting nervous. It would be a lie to say that I'm not afraid. The events of the past two days are too bizarre, they have already destroyed my common sense.

Especially sitting at the door, when the cold wind blew, my goosebumps started to rise.

At around 9 PM, there was no one on the road.

If it was in the past, the village would be quite lively at this time. But now, the entire village was strangely quiet.

The lights had all been turned off in the early morning. Not a single spot of light could be seen. Not to mention human voices, not even the barking of dogs could be heard.

It was so quiet that it made me uncomfortable.

For the sake of my uncle's safety, I had to stand guard at the door.

As time passed, I became more and more nervous.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, the big tree in front of the house was blown by the night wind. The shadow that was reflected on the ground was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws; it looked quite terrifying.

I foolishly sat at the entrance, looking around me at the pitch-black night sky. My heart was extremely perturbed, as if there was something hidden within. Especially the sound of the wind rustling the leaves, which made my hair stand on end.

I don't know if it was my imagination, but as time passed, I felt the surrounding temperature become colder and colder. A cold wind blew into my collar, causing me to shiver.

In this oppressive atmosphere, I finally made it to twelve.

When the time came, I, who had simulated it countless times in my mind, immediately lit a candle.

However, he didn't expect that there would be a problem at this time.

The lighter that was still fine a moment ago isn't ignited yet. After pressing it a few times, I can only see a spark flash by. No matter what, I can't fire it.

The more I panicked, the more I panicked, the less I could hit.

As time went by and the candle was not lit, I became extremely nervous.

At this moment, I suddenly shivered. I felt a chill at the back of my neck, as if something was blowing on my back.

I panicked and kept pressing the lighter.

The air was getting colder and colder, and it made my hair stand on end. The night wind blew like a scream.

I could clearly feel something behind my back. In that instant, I broke out in a cold sweat.

I didn't dare to look back as I kept pushing the lighter. The temperature around me was getting colder and colder. When I felt something was about to touch me, the lighter suddenly lit up.

Without any hesitation, I immediately lit the candle.

The moment the candle was lit, the cold immediately dissipated by half. I heaved a long sigh of relief.

The light of the candles gave me a sense of security. This feeling was as if he had just survived a calamity.

However, this situation did not last long. After a few minutes, the candle flame began to flicker. Accompanied by the flames was the rapidly descending temperature.

Thinking about what Blind Grandma said, I immediately grabbed a handful of soybeans and scattered them out.

Strangely, the flame returned to normal as soon as the soybeans were scattered, and the temperature rose quickly as well.

The more I did so, the more I panicked, because it meant that something really did exist.

Not long after scattering the soybeans, the flames flickered again, and the temperature began to drop.

I sprinkled the beans again, and the situation improved.

It went on and on for a long time, and gradually I got used to it.

I found that as long as the candle didn't go out, that thing couldn't do anything to me.

Judging by the length of the candles, it was enough to burn until daybreak. In addition, the soybeans had been prepared enough.

Thinking this way, I also calmed down quite a bit.

After an unknown period of time, I suddenly heard someone calling for help.

"Changsheng, save me …" Changsheng, quickly come and save me … "

I tilted my head to listen. It was Third Uncle!

The voice sounded very flustered, as if it was in danger.

Startled, I rushed to the back door with the candle in my hand.

When I looked at the back door, I was stunned.

Third Uncle was fine. He calmly sat at the back door, his fingers still picking at his nose. When Third Uncle saw me appear, he looked at me with a surprised expression and asked, "Why did you come here?"

I was a little stunned, didn't he say that you were the one who called me over?

Third Uncle's face stiffened. "Don't joke around. I didn't call you that. I've been sitting here all this time and I haven't said anything. Did you hear me correctly?"

I frowned, feeling a bit puzzled. Just now, Third Uncle called me a few times. Under such a quiet environment, it's impossible for me to have misheard him.

Moreover, there's only me and Third Uncle here. If he hadn't spoken just now, then … Who was it?

Thinking of this, my entire body shuddered and cold sweat broke out from my body.
