Dad is a bold man.
He told me a story that is more than bold, which I have not completely forgotten for decades.
When my father was a child, he had a partner called Shengzi. He often played with his father. Once, he boasted to his dad that he was very courageous, and his dad deliberately urged him to say, “I don’t think you are very courageous.” The son immediately stared and said, “Who said that I am courageous.” “My father thought for a while, and suddenly he had an idea, and he said to the son: “Okay, let’s bet.” The son patted his chest and said, “Betting on the bet, you tell me, how?” Dad said, “I will leave the village.” There is one thing in the dead post of the Eastern Rebellion. If you dare to get it back when the moon is black, you are really the most courageous person.” After hearing this challenge, Shengzi said disdainfully, “That’s it, it’s a piece of cake! “
That night, the night was dark and the wind was high, and the son came to Luantomb in fulfilling his contract.
There is still a long way to go from the place my dad said. When I gave birth to a child, I saw light flashing in the dark. At first, he thought it was fireflies or phosphorescence, and he was really not afraid of having children. He went forward bravely, approaching the destination step by step. When he approached, he finally saw clearly: a hairy guy as tall as an adult, his head is as big as a sling wheel, and two large holes-like eyes grow on the brain shell. The strong light is from From those two holes. The birth of a child is beginning to frighten, he has stopped moving forward, hesitating whether to advance or retreat. The monster didn’t seem to give him room to think, and immediately ran towards him with its teeth and claws, and it made a weird whining sound. He had a son and paws, and he went out in a cold sweat. He had forgotten about the bet long ago and ran back.

When he huffed and ran into the house, his whole body was soaked with sweat, but he never revealed to his family what he did and what he encountered .
That night he developed a high fever and fell ill.
The next day, my father went to check the results as scheduled, to see that the son was still lying on the kang weak. Dad asked lightly: “Did you get the thing back?” Before the child woke up from his fear, he shuddered and said, “Don’t tell me about it.” Then he described it to his dad in shock. The monster I saw last night. Dad still expressed his disbelief and said, “Don’t talk, there are any monsters. I think you are timid and didn’t go at all?” The son suddenly came and made a louder voice: “Why didn’t I go? I was scared. It’s really a ghost. If it weren’t for my fast legs, I think I’m dead now.”
Seeing the state of having a child, Dad felt that the joke was a bit too big. Sorry to tell the truth to the son, my father said that he was scared by a ghost in disguise. Give birth to children but refuse to believe it.
No way, Dad will returnThe family took the messy hemp, the broken wheels for fetching water, and the small oil lamp to show the son, and the son had to believe it.
Are you strange? After seeing the props that pretended to be ghosts, the sickness soon healed. He was blowing it again, and he said, “I’ll just say, wherever there are ghosts, I frighten myself.” Dad ridiculed him and said, “Giving birth, why didn’t you say that yesterday? If you know you like this, I might as well not tell you, I’m scared to death.”
After listening to Dad’s story, I dare not say whether there are ghosts, because since I have never seen ghosts, There is no reason to say that he exists, nor is he able to prove his non-existence, let alone whether Pu Songling has actually seen a fairy, a fox and a ghost, and actually wrote such a mysterious “Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio”, he will not be like me Like dad, is it here to scare people?
The story of giving birth to a child at least shows that the ghost he saw was born by himself, and that there are prerequisites for how courageous people are. Regardless of whether there are ghosts or not, anyway, the feeling of fear of ghosts is artificial. It is the so-called state that is born from the heart.
