I don&#8217;t know if it was anger or fear, my face turned red.    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;No? Why is your heart beating so fast?&#8221; He smiled more broadly and stared at me for a moment, then suddenly put his arms around my waist, lifted me out of bed, and walked straight out with me in his arms.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I was afraid he would notice anything and asked where he was taking me.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Eat. You&#8217;re hungry, aren&#8217;t you?&#8221; He blurted out a few words, then carried me to the table in front of Gao Yu&#8217;s parents and filled me with porridge.    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I was so embarrassed that I had to have porridge under the watchful eyes of Gao Yu&#8217;s parents.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Fortunately, &#8216;Gao Yu&#8217; said he had something to go out after dinner, let me at home to watch TV or chat with his mother to increase feelings.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I nod my head faster than a chicken eats rice. My heart has been happy. The opportunity is coming!     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   After &#8216;Gao Yu&#8217; left, I changed my clothes and found an excuse to fool Gao Yu&#8217;s mother. Then I went out to the house of the widow Hu   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Widow Hu is well known in this village. On casual inquiry, I learned that her house was in the west of the village, not far from the cemetery. Her door was vermilion with a row of chicken feathers stuck to it. It was easy to find.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I&#8217;ve been to the graveyard before, so I know the way. Soon I found the vermilion gate, but the chicken feathers on the gate were not the same as usual, but the color of black, which formed a strong contrast with the bright red gate. It stands out.    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Black chicken feathers are not common, so I was sure that this is widow Hu&#8217;s house.    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I knocked on the door and told Gao Yu&#8217;s change to the widow Hu. And I also said that I went to the grave when I had menstruation.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Widow Hu was still tough. After listening to my words, her face directly became black and his eyes also became particularly gloomy. She asked me, &#8220;since the menstruation, how didn&#8217;t stand up yesterday?&#8221;     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I directly put the fault on &#8216;Gao Yu&#8217;, said he would not let me say. I realize the seriousness of the problem now, so I came to her for help.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Widow Hu listened for a long time without a word. Fortunately, she didn&#8217;t give me the benefit of the doubt and let me follow her into the room.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I followed her into the room and found her alone. The room was old, windowless and dark. And even in summer, it felt as cold as if it were a cemetery.    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Widow Hu let me sit where I liked, and then she rummaged around the house looking for something.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I thought she was looking for a bleeding knife. My hands were all sweaty. But she rummaged for a long time, didn&#8217;t want to let me bleed and took out a round pottery pot to me. She let me open to see it.    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I obediently opened the pot. When I saw what was inside, I almost threw the pot away.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It&#8217;s filled with off-white powder. I looked at the shape of the pot, needless to say, I knew that it is an urn and the white powder is the ashes.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When the widow saw my reaction, she smiled as if she were laughing at my weakness and said, &#8220;what are you afraid of? It&#8217;s not ashes. It&#8217;s just the ashes of hair I collected. Man&#8217;s essence mainly gathered in the top of the head, so the essence on the ashes of the hair is heavy. It is a good thing to overcome ghosts. All you have to do is to take this back and spill it on your boyfriend, and he&#8217;ll be crushed by the ashes.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;That&#8217;s it?&#8221; I asked. Knowing that it was the ashes of hair of living person, I was not afraid of it for a moment. But this widow Hu is good enough to collect so much the ashes of hair, how much hair would it take to burn?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   \u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;No way.&#8221; I was a little flustered.
