Folktale The Woman on the Roof

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-01-29

This is something I heard from my neighbor, Sister Li, and it happened many years ago. At that time, Sister Li was only about ten years old.

One day, Sister Li went to visit relatives at her grandmother's house, whose family lived in a neighboring village, and the distance between the two villages was only two or three miles.

Sister Li and her mother went on foot, and when they walked to the west end of the village, they passed by the primary school in the village.

The school's classrooms are a row of bungalows, and it was winter, and the trees in front of the houses had lost their leaves, so you could see the roof clearly.

Just as the two of them walked to the side of the elementary school, Sister Li's eyes looked curiously towards the school's classroom.

She tilted her head, her gaze swept over the roof, and suddenly she noticed a woman standing on the roof.

But I saw that the woman was wearing a red plaid blouse on her upper body, a pair of dark blue pants on her lower body, and her short hair was combed to her ears.

Sister Li was stunned, and involuntarily looked closely, and she found that the woman was staring at herself.

Sister Li was taken aback, feeling that the woman's eyes were a little weird, and her behavior when she stood on the roof was even more weird.

Sister Li was stared at tightly by the woman's eyes, and suddenly felt a chill on her body, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sister Li was walking down the street with her mother, and as she walked, she timidly reached out and quietly tugged at the sleeve of her mother's blouse.

Her mother was stunned, tilted her head to look at her daughter, and found that her daughter's face was wrong, and her eyes were still slanting towards the roof next to her, which was even more strange.

Sister Li's mother involuntarily looked at the roof, but she didn't find anything, so she slowed down and lowered her head and asked

"What's wrong with you?The face is so ugly!”

Sister Li said timidly:

"The woman on the roof kept looking at me!”

Sister Li's mother was stunned when she heard this, she immediately stopped, looked at the roof again, there was still nothing there, and said:

"There's nothing on the roof!”

Sister Li felt even more frightened when she saw that her mother couldn't see it, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said timidly

"She's staring at me!”

Sister Li's mother saw her daughter crying, realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly took her daughter's hand, dragged her forward quickly, and said as she walked

"Hurry up, don't look there!".”

Sister Li did as she was told, and hurriedly withdrew her gaze, staring at the dirt road in front of her, and at the same time quickened her pace.

Sister Li quickly followed her mother to her grandmother's house and told her grandmother about it.

Grandma was shocked when she heard this, and said:

"This child is not closed, she can see dirty!”

Sister Li's mother asked again, "Who is the person on the roof?"”

Sister Li's grandmother sighed and said regretfully

"That's the female teacher of our village primary school, when she died, she was wearing a dress like that, you haven't seen it, she quarreled with her husband a few days ago, and she didn't want to open it for a while, so she committed suicide by drinking pesticides!”

In order to prevent Sister Li from seeing the woman again, her grandmother hurriedly went to the village goddess's house and asked the goddess to show her.

The goddess said that because Sister Li and the deceased did not know each other, the deceased would not follow Sister Li.

The goddess gave Sister Li a talisman and asked her to wear it on her body. Since then, Sister Li has never seen anything strange.
