In those remote mountain villages, it is best not to go to the public toilet in the wild alone at night, especially in that place, where the dead man's bag is not good when you have just been here, and there is something on it that is secretly staring at you at this time. The story begins 20 years ago, when my roommate Li Zhongping and I were assigned to teach in the countryside, where conditions were relatively poor, and the school was a small three-story dilapidated building on a hillside to the west of the village. Because there is no special dormitory, Li Zhongping and I can only live in a spare classroom, where we usually work and rest.
I remember that night around 10 o'clock, we had just finished our homework, and I had a habit of going to the toilet before going to bed. Just as I was about to go out with a flashlight, I went, Li Zongping on the side stopped me, and asked him if he wanted to go together, but Li Zongping said that a person in the village had just died a few days ago, and he was buried on the mountain next to their school, and when I heard this, I knew that Li Zongping must be scaring myself to play, so I waved my hand, said something about me, and then turned my head and went out with the flashlight.
To be honest, only the two of us are still quite scared at night, especially the toilet of this school, which is nearly 100 meters away from the school, and there is not even a single family around the school. But the situation in front of me was urgent, and I could only stride towards the toilet with courage, and soon came to the toilet. A few minutes later, when I was about to get up after going to the bathroom, I suddenly heard a slight footstep outside the toilet. Hearing this movement, I thought it was Li Zhongping's kid sneaking out and preparing to scare me outside the toilet, so I sneered, and shouted outside the toilet while tying my belt, Li Zhongping, don't hide, I can't guess your little bit of caution?
But after saying that, there was no movement outside the toilet, I walked out gently, and as soon as I went out, I suddenly shone the flashlight to the toilet wall, only to see that it was empty outside, and there was no Li Zhongping at all. At this moment, the slight footsteps just now sounded again, and I used my flashlight to shine in the direction of the sound, and I saw two figures on the road, and I didn't think much about it at the time.
I just can't help but sigh that rural people are so bold that they don't even have a light on when they walk at night. Strangely, the two men in the darkness did not look like adults, but like children of twelve or thirteen years old. Maybe they noticed me, so they stopped and slowly turned their heads. Because it was rude to shine a flashlight on someone's face at night, I shone the flashlight on them.
But what makes me feel even more strange is that their clothes are very bright colors of red, red, blue and blue, which do not look like the clothes of this era at all, and judging from the reflection on the clothes, the clothes are not cloth at all, but more like oil-faced paper. At this time, I noticed the half of the face hidden in the darkness, especially the two pairs of red and somewhat bewitching lips, which showed a strange look. Seeing this, I suddenly thought of something, and my heart suddenly chuckled, and at the same time, I involuntarily shone the flashlight on their faces, and in an instant, my brain was blank, and I only felt a cold sweat on my back, these two people turned out to be two funeral paper figures. At this moment, the two paper figures seemed to take a step forward, and their grim faces raised a strange smile, staring at me deadly. Seeing this, I only felt weak and almost collapsed on the ground. After reacting, I hurriedly turned my head and ran frantically towards the school, shouting while running, there is a ghost, after running for a long distance, I couldn't help but look back again, only to see that the flashlight just dropped on the ground just shone on the two paper people, they were still standing there, the vague weird smile became more and more infiltrating, fortunately at this time Li Zhongping also ran out, probably heard my scream, came out to check the situation, after seeing people, I was a little relieved, but the pace of running did not stop, rushed to Li Zunping, hurriedly pushed him into the house, and locked the door. After locking it all up, I leaned limply against the door.
At first, Li Zhongping thought I was joking, but when he saw my pale face, he gradually became nervous, so he hurriedly squatted down and asked me what happened. I slowed down for a while before I told him what I had just experienced. After listening to me, Li Zongping was silent for a while before helping me to the bed to rest. That night, I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, and my mind was full of the horrific scene just now. As soon as it was dawn the next day, the two of us hurried to the village secretary to report the incident.
In the end, at the insistence of the two of us, the village secretary had to find us a dilapidated house in the village, although the school in the house was a lot dilapidated, but living in the village was much more reliable. It wasn't until later that I learned that the night I saw the paper figures was the day of the head flag of the dead in the village, and when I was buried, the deceased's house did burn two paper figures, but I don't know why, but I just let me meet them.
