I recognized the man among them, the one who jumped at me just now, and the other woman made me feel even more uncomfortable.

At this time, I finally realized that things were weird in a way that people couldn't describe. I started to get scared and stood there, not daring to move, and they didn't move either. They just looked at me like this, as if they were afraid of something or scrupulous. What, but it seems like there is something special about me that attracts them, and they are unwilling to let me go.

What are they afraid of? Could it be that light on my chest just now? I have had a pendant hanging on my body since I was a child. My mother told me that the tiger claws at that time always prevented me from taking them off? Are they afraid of this

I wasn't sure. I just subconsciously touched my chest and grabbed the long tiger claws. I felt a little calmer. I was sure that I suddenly remembered the key thing. This This thing is very important!

That's when I finally remembered where I had seen the clothes these people were wearing. It was two years ago. Uncle Li in our village passed away, and my mother went to help because my father was not there at the time and my two sisters were in school. , my mother was too busy, so she took me with her. I saw them put Uncle Li into the coffin with my own eyes. He was wearing just that!

My mother also specifically told me that it was a shroud!

It turns out that these people are all wearing shrouds!

I am the flower of the motherland. I grew up under the care and education of the motherland. How can there be any ghosts and gods in this world? For a moment, many thoughts came to my mind.

Don't ask me why I have these unreliable thoughts at this time. I don't know myself, because I know one thing at this time, that is, these thoughts can no longer inspire me at this moment. I lost my courage, and a frightening thought popped up that I couldn't suppress.

That is - there is a ghost!

I roared unconsciously, then sat down on the ground (my legs were weak), and then started to howl and cry without any new ideas. As the tears poured out, I realized that my The eyes were closed just now, but now they are open.

I have no time to think about how I walked with my eyes closed. No one can expect a seven-year-old child to have any logical thinking at this time. Besides, it’s okay if my eyes are not open. As soon as I open them, I find someone. My son, all the houses were gone. In the dim moonlight, I could only see the silhouettes of small hills.

That's not a grave bag, so what is it

How cruel is it for a child to be in a cemetery in the middle of the night? ! Besides, this cruel thing is happening to me now, and I don’t know what to do? I didn’t even have the courage to walk anymore, so I just cried and subconsciously clenched the tiger claw hanging around my neck. Only it could give me a sense of security.

The shrill cries spread very far in this quiet night, and even I felt harsh, but I couldn't stop.

I don’t know how long I cried, but a dozen orange-yellow light spots lit up in the distance, reminding me of that weird dream. Didn’t all this happen from that dream

I couldn't sit here and cry stupidly anymore. I used all my strength to stand up and ran in the other direction, crying.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from a distance: "San Wa'er, is it San Wa'er?" Then there were quite noisy voices and chaotic footsteps.

This voice sounded familiar and kind to me, but I was so frightened that I couldn’t remember whose voice it was, and I didn’t dare to stop. I just ran and cried, asking: “Who are you?”

I had an inexplicable trust in that voice, so I answered subconsciously, but I really didn’t know who it was at the time.

As soon as I finished my words, a very angry voice came from the other side, shouting almost in a roar: "Who do you think I am? I am your old man!"

As soon as the voice shouted, I immediately realized, whose voice was it not my father's? I stood still and cried louder. If this sound made me feel extremely scary a few hours ago, now this sound sounded like the sound of nature to me.

I had just stood still for a minute when those orange-yellow beams of light hit me. After I had basically calmed down, I realized that this was the light of a flashlight. Then I saw a group of people running towards me in a hurry, headed by Who is that if not my dad

When my dad saw me, he first pulled me over, then shined the flashlight on me from beginning to end, looked at me carefully, and after making sure I was not injured, he put the flashlight in his mouth.

He mentioned me without saying a word, slapped me on the butt, and muttered something. I guess he must have wanted to call you a bastard at that time. Seeing as I didn’t deal with you, I was just chewing on such a thick flashlight. Inconvenient to talk.

This slap was so strong that I stopped crying. After being slapped by this slap, I started to howl again. An uncle behind my dad couldn't stand it any longer, so he grabbed my dad and said, " Old Chen, just find the baby. He is crying so hard in the middle of the night. He must be frightened. Why don't you take the baby back to comfort him first? You are so fierce, what should you do if the baby runs away again? "

In the past, it was definitely useless for others to persuade my dad, but this time I don’t know what words touched my dad. My dad stopped hitting me. Instead, his face became a little heavy, and he didn’t know what he thought of.

After a moment of silence, my dad said: "I'm so angry, forget it. I'll take him back first. Thank you all. I'll treat you to dinner at home another day."

The people in the village are so simple and honest. When they heard that I was missing, so many people accompanied my dad out to look for me. They didn’t care about how late it was or how long it was to go to the countryside...

My dad picked me up and walked with everyone on the way back to the village. I had experienced so much just now and was frightened. I leaned into my father's arms and felt that my whole body relaxed.

My body still felt hot. After howling for so long, I felt even more thirsty. My father stroked my forehead and said to himself as he walked: "Does this baby have a fever?"

But I couldn't answer. The sudden strong sense of security made me feel drowsy again, but just when I was about to fall asleep, I vaguely saw a red light following us, and then If you look carefully, you will see that it is the woman who makes people feel the most uncomfortable, with a particularly sinister smile! !

I suddenly woke up and my whole body stiffened. My dad slapped my butt and said softly: "You're still not honest?" Only then did I realize there was a red spot somewhere? Where is the woman

Everything I experienced just now seemed like a dream, and several times I found myself not opening my eyes. Even as a young person, I couldn't convince myself that seeing was believing, because I couldn't explain the feeling. Now that I think about it, it's somewhere between reality and fiction.

Lying in my father's arms, looking at the crowd of people around me, I stopped thinking about these things for a while. This time I really fell asleep in my father's arms, and I never saw any red light again. point.

After I got home, I lay down in bed and fell asleep. That night, I kept dreaming. They were all weird dreams, but I didn't know what I was dreaming about.

When I woke up the next day, it was almost noon. I felt uncomfortable all over and my brain was too heavy to lift my head.

My mother who was standing by my bed saw that I was awake and quickly fed me medicine. I was confused and she just fed me medicine anyway. Only then did I learn from my mother that I had a fever and that the medicine was from my father. I went to the village health center early in the morning to get it. Now the conditions are a little better, and a simple health center has been built in the village.

However, my mother also said that if the fever does not go away in the afternoon, I must be taken to the township health center for an injection.

I was afraid of injections, so I quickly begged my mother to help me get better soon. My mother ignored my little thoughts and brought me porridge and fed me some kimchi.

In fact, I want to eat meat, and I am also thinking about the roasted eel last night, but I dare not mention it. I got into trouble one after another yesterday, and I am lucky that I didn't get beaten. Besides, my mother won’t give me anything to eat when I’m sick. This happens to everyone in my family who gets sick. Anyway, it’s just porridge and kimchi!
