Knowing the news that we were going back to our hometown, my mother insisted on being together, and Goddess Yan naturally joined us. Aunt Li and the others did not choose to go with them because of Li Guihua.
"Even if he still doesn't want to see us, then we respect his opinion. With him, you will be safe." These are the original words of Aunt Li.
Although there are no people from the ghost building when I go back to my hometown this time, but there are more Li Guihua and Huang Xiaolong. I don’t think the lineup is worse than last time. Even if Huang Xiaolong is not as good as Aunt Li and the others, Li Guihua is definitely better than Aunt Li and the others. Weak, it can be considered even.
We didn’t encounter any strange things when we went back this time. Soon, we arrived at our hometown. In a short period of time, there was no change in our hometown. Although the names of the villages were a bit strange for us to go back again, it was also very interesting. A normal reaction, after all, in the old days, we basically never came back.
It was already afternoon when I came back. After dinner, our group went to the entrance of the village in a mighty way, but when I arrived at the entrance of the village, I was stunned for a moment. A huge crack appeared on the wall, which was as thick as a human arm.
Wu Jian and I were discussing going down the well, but Li Guihua's voice came out: "There's no need to go down, there's nothing down there."
After hearing this, my mother reacted greatly. Under my mother's strong request, we went down anyway. Unfortunately, there was nothing down there.
Ever since we came up, my mother has become decadent. Goddess Yan is supporting my mother and comforting her constantly. This ancient well is the hope of saving my father and brother, but now there is nothing, let alone my mother. , even I have become at a loss.
In the end, Goddess Yan spoke up: "Go ask the people in the village and see what's going on?"
My mother got up her spirits and stumbled down to the village with the support of Goddess Yan. Huang Xiaolong and I were in a single group and went too. As for Wu Jian and Ni Min, they didn't know anyone in the village, so they went back to their room first.
I wandered around the village for a long time, and people asked countless questions, but no one seemed to know what happened to the ancient well. They were surprised and worried when they heard me say that the ancient well was cracked, and I found nothing.
After meeting with my mother, I realized that my mother and the others also did not ask any useful information. My mother seems to be in a bad mood. For this, I have nothing to do except comfort.
After dinner, my mother went to bed very early. Huang Xiaolong and I had nothing to do, so we took Wu Jian to the village head. There was the only night market stall in the village. It wasn’t actually a night market stall, it was just road construction back then. At that time, there were many workers, so someone in the village opened a small shop.
Later, the road was repaired, and the small shop remained, but the main products were not food, but daily necessities. It’s just that the villagers are used to it, and they always come here to chat and sometimes eat at night, so the boss simply prepared some barbecue grills made of bricks, which can be regarded as a unique scenery in our village.
We took some food at home, bought some charcoal for 10 yuan, and we started the self-service barbecue mode directly. Fortunately, beer is still sold here.
The people in the village are very hospitable. When they saw us eating, they all went home to take some food and ate with us. Soon, it became a large crowd. This is a lively scene that cannot be seen in the city.
I don’t know how long I’ve been eating, my eyes are already a little bit drunk, but I saw a child walking slowly on the road at the entrance of the village, wrapped in white cloth, which looks like the trendy clothes at a fashion show.
When the child got closer, I realized that it was a little girl, about 7 or 8 years old. Her body was well-groomed, but she had no clothes on. Her body was covered with white to slightly beige cloth strips, and she didn't wear shoes. Just standing a few meters away from us.
Many villagers also saw it. An old woman took some food from the grill, put it in a bowl and walked over. The little girl was obviously scared and took a few steps back, but she still couldn't resist the temptation of the food and didn't run away. .
The aunt handed the bowl to the little girl, and sighed deeply. The little girl took the bowl, showed a sweet smile, bowed, and ran away.
Seeing the little girl disappear into the woods by the roadside, I shook my drunken head and asked the aunt who came back: "Auntie, who is that?"
The aunt sighed and said: "Oh, a poor child, his home is on the hillside near the village, with his parents, about a year ago, his parents died, everyone stinks and no one knows , This kid still prepares meals every day and waits for his parents to eat, and it was Lao Liu who went to his father to make a table before he knew he was dead."
When my aunt mentioned halfway up the mountain and making tables, I had the impression that there was indeed a carpenter living on the mountainside in the village, but I had no contact with him.
"Auntie, what about this child?"
The aunt put down the food in her hand and said: "The police came. Seeing that the child was helpless, he entrusted the village to take care of him. But, your child is stubborn. He never comes to the village unless he is very hungry. Look at the clothes he is wearing. What is it? He doesn’t even wear clothes. There are several families who want to take him in, but he doesn’t do it. He says he wants to be with his parents. Every day, he just guards his parents’ graves. What a filial person child."
"What is filial piety? I think he is stupid, maybe he is fascinated by ghosts. Think about it, his parents' corpses stink, and he still sleeps next to his parents every day. He is a good person." You have to become a fool." When the villagers saw that the aunt had finished speaking, they objected.
Then all the people present started discussing it, and it became more and more mysterious, but thinking about it, a child of a few years old, who doesn't understand anything, carries it around the grave every day, where to live, besides, it has been a year , The child has never been sick or anything. If he hadn't come out to order something to eat when he was hungry, the villagers probably thought the child was dead.
Wu Jian touched my hand and asked in a low voice, "Did you see this little girl when you came last time?"
I shook my head, the last time we stayed here was not short, but we never saw this little girl.
Wu Jiandao: "Hey, it's also a poor child. I'll report back later and mobilize the masses to see if anyone can adopt this child."
I nodded, looked at the direction where the little girl disappeared, and sighed.
The originally depressed mood became worse because of this incident, I said: "Huang Xiaolong, pass me the bottle of wine." Huang Xiaolong lowered his head, completely unresponsive, the meat skewer in his hand was about to fall to the ground.
I pushed Huang Xiaolong and said, "What are you doing?"
Huang Xiaolong let out an "ah" as if frightened, and then the meat skewer in his hand fell to the ground. I looked at Huang Xiaolong in surprise and said, "What's wrong with you."
Huang Xiaolong looked around, grabbed me with one hand and Wu Jian with the other, pulled us towards his head, and said in a low voice, "You see the white cloth wrapped around that little girl's body, it's a shroud."
