Wu Jian and I looked at each other, my back felt cold, I remembered the cute look of that little girl just now, and asked in disbelief: "That little girl is a ghost, no way."
Huang Xiaolong shook his head and said doubtfully, "This is what makes me strange. That little girl is human."
Wu Jiandao: "Maybe it's just an ordinary shroud. Anything that can't be private has problems."
Huang Xiaolong thought for a while and said, "Yes."
But there was a strange feeling in my heart, I always felt that the shroud was not an ordinary shroud as Wu Jian said. I looked at the villagers around me, but for a while I didn’t know who to ask. You must know that most people in the village are superstitious. If they knew that the little girl was wrapped in a shroud, they would definitely not sympathize with the little girl. , and even bad things happen.
The topic of the villagers quickly moved away from the little girl, and turned into some parents' gossip. Wu Jian and Huang Xiaolong both drank too much and joined the villagers' big party. I became sober because I had something on my mind.
In the second half of the night, villagers continued to stagger or were resisted to leave. Wu Jian was also dragged back by Ni Min. Huang Xiaolong was very tenacious, and he fought with a few drunkards in the village. The feeling of not ending.
Because my mother went to bed early, no one came to take care of me, so I stayed, but I didn't drink any wine, and I ate every mouthful, watching these drunks bragging.
Just when Huang Xiaolong crawled into another person, I saw a white shadow appearing on the road, it was the little girl wrapped in a shroud, maybe because the rest of us are all men, little girl The girl was not close, but far away.
I looked at the time, it was 1:00 in the morning, and I patted Huang Xiaolong hard. Huang Xiaolong asked me what I was doing with his tongue out, his eyes were so blurred that I guess I don’t know who I am, it’s over, this guy is unreliable.
I thought about it for a while, and I don’t know why the little girl came here. The aunt gave him a lot of food just now. A big belly man may not be enough, but a little girl should not be able to eat it all. But if it is not for food, why is the little girl come here.
I imitated my aunt, filled another bowl full of food, and then walked towards the little girl full, maybe because I was very unfamiliar, the little girl was very vigilant, and when she saw me walking over, she backed away a long way .
I tried my best to say in a gentle voice: "Didn't you eat enough just now? Come, take it."
The little girl was unmoved, I took a step forward, and the little girl hurried back a few steps, so I had no choice but to say, "Then I'll put the bowl on the ground, okay?"
After waiting for a long time, I didn't get the little girl's answer, so I had to put the bowl on the ground, and then backed away. The little girl took a few steps forward, but didn't go to get the bowl, and still looked at me vigilantly, as if I was Like the big bad wolf in fairy tales.
I turned my head and began to share food with some drunks. I really wanted to look back at the little girl, but I was afraid of scaring him. The bowls were gone.
If it weren't for the shroud on the little girl, this is an ordinary poor little girl. Although I didn't see anything wrong, I still felt something wrong in my heart.
Until the end of the supper, the little girl did not appear again, because it was too late, and I drank some wine, and I slept until dawn. Mom and Goddess Yan went out early in the morning to look for clues about Gujing, and Wu Jian, as a policeman, was also arrested.
Only Huang Xiaolong and I were left at home. I went to see him, and Huang Xiaolong was still sleeping like a dead pig. After eating a little something, I went out.
In the early hours of this morning, it probably rained a little bit, and the road was a bit wet, and it was slippery when I stepped on it, so I couldn’t walk fast. There are not many people in the village now, and most of them should be busy in their own fields, walking on the road at the head of the village. I just saw a few elderly people chatting at the supper yesterday.
I walked over, greeted him politely, and found a seat to sit down.
An old man whose back was hunched out of shape was smoking a pipe and asked me with a smile, "Little boy, what is your mother looking for? She ran into the woods early in the morning."
I smiled, and found a reason to fool the past, regardless of whether the old man believed it or not, and asked my own question directly: "Master, I saw the little girl from the carpenter's house when we were having supper yesterday, what do you think?" , such a young child, how can he live alone in the forest, his family has no relatives."
The hunchbacked old man tapped the soot in the cigarette rod on the bluestone on one side, and added the following: "Who says it's not, alas, there are relatives, but I don't want to take that girl with me, and that girl is also stubborn. Such a young grade, let’s go to guard some grave, and I don’t know what that wicked thing told him, why his parents will come back after three years of guarding.”
I was slightly taken aback. I didn't hear about this when I arrived last night, so I asked for details. The old man recalled for a while and said: "Liu Lan said it. This girl is kind-hearted, so he can talk to that little girl. Liu Lan also persuaded the little girl, but, the little girl just accepts that death. Said to wait for his parents to wake up, alas, Liu Lan wanted to adopt him, but refused, it was all a crime."
Liu Lan, I couldn't remember who it was after thinking about it for a long time. I only found out after asking the old man. It turns out that she is the proprietress of this small shop. She is already 50 years old.
However, the third aunt went to the county to buy goods, and she met them on the road when she came back, but she didn't know when the third aunt would come back.
I asked the little girl's name again, but the old man couldn't tell. He just knew that everyone called him little girl. Seeing that the old man didn't know much, I stopped sitting down and went into the store to ask the third aunt. My husband, the third uncle, learned that the third aunt would not be back until tomorrow, so I didn't stay long, and walked directly to the woods beside the road at the head of the village.
This is where the little girl appeared last night. At first glance, it was all forests, but it was very strange. I looked back to the other side of the road, and the other side was full of neat crops.
This is the head of the village, it is the closest to the village, and the land looks very fertile, but why is there no one to plant all the trees
"Wurry, what are you doing?"
When I turned around, I saw a villager looking at me strangely with a hoe on his shoulders. I knew this person, and he should be some kind of relative with me. He was not young, but his seniority was the same as mine.
"Brother, I'm not curious. There are fields over there, and trees here. The village is quite environmentally conscious."
The person who came put the hoe on the ground and said: "Fart environmental protection, this land, um, you can't make a wrong idea, this land cannot be moved."
My heart moved and said: "What crooked idea can I come up with? I can still go home and farm. I guess I won't be able to grow food even if I'm exhausted."
The visitor chuckled and said, "Looking at your innocence, you are not suitable for work."
After finishing speaking, the visitor was about to leave, so I hurried up to stop him and said, "Why don't you let me move here?"
"There are people buried here. Those who cannot enter the ancestral graves are buried here."
I nodded. The ancestral tombs in the village are not for each family, but everyone in the village will be buried in the ancestral tombs after death. It is considered public, but if they cannot enter the ancestral graves, who are they
