Folktales Encounter with a Strange Man at Night

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-01-31

One day, my cousin went to visit relatives at my grandmother's house in a neighboring village, and watched a play in my grandmother's village at night.

After the singing, it was already past twelve o'clock in the evening, and my cousin returned to the village with a child from the same village.

The two villages are more than two miles apart, and the two of them are talking and laughing while walking back.

Due to the bright moonlight, the two had flashlights in their hands, but they did not turn on the lights.

The two of them were halfway through when they suddenly saw two tall black figures in front of them.

The cousin and the children in the same village were taken aback, and the cousin's face changed in fright, and he asked

"When did those two figures appear?".”

The child in the same village heard the fear from his cousin's questioning, and he became more and more frightened, and said in a trembling voice

"I didn't see it either, it looks like it came out of nowhere!”

The child from the same village thought about it and said:

"I think these two people are taller than the people in our village, so they can't be from other villages, right?”

The cousin thought for a moment and said:

"They're walking towards our village, let's follow closely and see who they are!”

With that, the two of them held each other's hands tightly and chased after each other.

Strangely, the two black shadows in front of them also quickened their pace, and there seemed to be no footsteps.

My cousin and the children in the same village felt that something was wrong, and my cousin said

"They walk without a sound, could it be a ghost?”

The children of the same village were shocked when they heard this, trembling with fright, and proposed:

"Why don't we turn on the flashlight and shine it?"”

The cousin nodded in agreement, and the two turned on the flashlights at the same time, and the two beams of light shone forward in unison.

But I saw that the two black shadows were illuminated transparently, like transparent people, and the clothes around them were clearly worn by the ancients, and they were colorful and dazzling.

The two of them were so frightened that they hurriedly turned off their flashlights, and they were so trembling that they couldn't speak.

The cousin thought for a moment and said:

"Could it be a singer?

Let's catch up and have a look!”

As he spoke, the two of them held hands and ran forward, and the two ancients seemed to be aware of it, and suddenly floated forward, their feet not touching the ground, and they floated very fast.

The cousin also chased after the children of the same village, and soon entered the village, and saw two ancients enter the door of a house.

The two hurriedly chased to the door, but found a lock hanging on the door, and they were both stunned.

The cousin stared at the iron lock and said

"They seem to have disappeared here, what's going on?”

The two of them shone their flashlights at the door again, and suddenly they saw two brand-new door gods pasted on the door panel, and their clothes were exactly the same as the clothes of the ancients they had just seen.

My cousin asked the children in the same village:

"Whose house is this, and how is the door locked?”

The child from the same village replied

"This is the widow's house, I guess I'm going back to my mother's house!”

The cousin listened and groaned:

"In this way, the two figures we saw just now are these two door gods?”

The children from the same village nodded yes, the two looked at each other and smiled, wiped the sweat on their foreheads, and then walked back.

The next day, the cousin and the children of the same village went to the door of the widow and told her what they had seen the previous night.

And the widow said unto them

"You guessed it right, my door god statue was damaged in the rain, and I invited two new ones, it is estimated that the door god came last night and was seen by you!”

After hearing this, the two went home with peace of mind. Since then, nothing strange has happened.
