The Enchanting Sorceress

Chapter 4: Ghostly Apparitions

The eldest son Li was thinking about playing cards and gave some instructions before leaving. Bai Zhou went up to help him get dressed. Xiaoxiu was very embarrassed and kept saying thank you.

In the past, when her grandfather was here, Bai Zhou helped him put on clothes for others, and she was very familiar with them. However, when she was putting on the sleeves, she found something was wrong.

Mrs. Miao's skin was wrinkled all over her body, like old tree bark, but her hands and feet were smooth.

Just like... young people's hands.

She frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xiu asked strangely.

"It's okay." Bai Zhou looked at the old lady's blood bar, and there was nothing wrong.

Hope nothing happens tonight.

Soon the shroud was put on, and Xiao Xiu praised Bai Zhou's beautiful clothes and exquisite craftsmanship. The old lady looked like a rich and wealthy old monarch in ancient times.

As she spoke, she cried and said, "Grandma was very beautiful when she was young. I heard that she loves beauty. She can dress beautifully and go away without any regrets."

Bai Zhou was stupid and didn't know how to comfort her. , had no choice but to pat her back and said: "My condolences."

Xiao Xiu shook his head and said: "Grandma has been bedridden this year and has suffered a lot. This is also a relief for her."

Bai Zhou About to go back to the front hall, Xiaoxiu said: "I'll see you off." Just as she turned around, a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed her wrist.

She was startled, and when she looked back, it was her grandma who had caught her.

"Grandma?" Xiaoxiu looked puzzled and stuffed the hand back into the quilt and said, "It's strange. Grandma has been paralyzed for half a year and has no feeling below the chest. How can she move her hand today? Is it a return to the light?"

Bai Zhou's heart Her doubts became more intense. She looked around and found a mirror hanging on the wall, but the strange thing was that the lenses were gone, leaving only bare white in the frame.

"What's wrong with this mirror?" Bai Zhou asked.

Xiao Xiu said: "Grandma has become very irritable since she got sick. She is not allowed to put a mirror in the house. The mirror may have been smashed by her."

Bai Zhou frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "What if it happens tonight?" If anything weird happens, you can come to me."

Xiaoxiu agreed, but she was thinking in her heart, what weird thing could happen, and why is this girl so nagging.

Bai Zhou was a little worried. She remembered what happened when she and her grandfather went to deliver a shroud to an old man when she was a child.

I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight.

The night was getting deeper and deeper. Bai Zhou looked at the time while eating melon seeds. There was still half an hour until the old lady died.

Xiaoxiu suddenly walked over in a hurry, with a panicked look on his face, and said, "Really, something really happened."

"What happened?" Bai Zhou asked.

Xiao Xiu looked around, his eyes full of fear: "I just saw grandma sitting up and smiling at me. That smile was so scary."

Bai Zhou frowned: "Take me to see."

Xiao Xiu brought her here. When I got to the backyard, my hands were shaking when I opened the door.

After the door opened, both of them were stunned.

There was no one on the bed.

"Where's the human?" Xiaoxiu said in horror, "Grandma is so sick, it's impossible to get out of bed."

Suddenly, the two of them felt a little cold on their backs, as if someone was breathing on the back of their necks.

It's still very air-conditioned.

Both of them felt their scalps go numb, and they turned around suddenly and saw Old Mrs. Miao standing one step away, smiling sinisterly at them.

"Ah!" Xiao Xiu couldn't help but scream, clutching Bai Zhou's arm tightly.

"What are you doing?" The voice of Li's eldest son suddenly came, attracting their attention.

Xiaoxiu said hurriedly: "Uncle, grandma, she..."

They turned their heads and found that Miao Jinhua had disappeared.

"The old woman died?" Li's eldest son's eyes flashed with joy and he quickly walked into the house.

Old Mrs. Miao was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, as if she had never been moved.

Xiao Xiu's face turned even paler.

The eldest son Li checked and said, "Isn't this the last time he died? What's the ghost's name? Call me after he has died." After

he left, Xiaoxiu's voice was trembling: "Just now... was it an illusion?"

"No. Illusion." Bai Zhou lifted the corner of the quilt and said, "Look, there is mud on the soles of the old lady's shoes."

The old lady was wearing a full shroud, and her shoes were all newly made, so it was impossible to get them dirty.

Xiao Xiu trembled: "My grandma...has become a monster?"

Bai Zhou pondered for a moment and asked: "Was your grandma a goddess before?"

Xiao Xiu was stunned for a moment and said: "Yes, my grandma's family has been a goddess for generations. , I heard that she is very effective, and people from all over the country will look for her."

"Then did she cut your hair within a year?"

Xiao Xiu was even more surprised: "She asked me to cut it when she first got sick, and said she had to boil water. Fei Chai, it's not convenient to wash your hair."

Bai Zhou said seriously: "Miss Xiao Xiu, I may know what happened to your grandma."

Xiao Xiu hurriedly asked what happened, and Bai Zhou asked: "Do you believe in ghosts and gods? ?"

Xiaoxiu swallowed and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but once I saw my grandma help someone ask for rice, and invited a soul, and even knew the other person's privacy, so I... had to believe it."

Bai Zhou He nodded and said, "I told you not to be afraid, your grandma wants to seize her body."
