Views:

The day after that night was a Sunday, and we three siblings didn’t have to go to school. But that morning, for the first time, my mother served us shredded pork noodles for breakfast. Anyway, when I saw it, I was so greedy. DC.

Also that morning, my dad didn't go out to do any work. Instead, he waited for us to get up at about nine o'clock and had breakfast with us.

Everything seemed very normal, but everything was very unusual. Unfortunately, I was young at the time and didn't care at all. I just ate my shredded pork noodles with my head buried in my stomach. While I was eating, I heard my mother's words. Some anxious voices rang out: "Second sister, why do you eat so little?"

The voice was so anxious that it changed. I couldn't tell whether it was because of anger or worry. In short, it was so shocking that I raised my head to see what was going on. There were still two noodles hanging on my mouth.

"I'm full." The second sister answered directly, her voice was as soft as usual, but she didn't know why, but it just sounded weak.

Besides, normally, the gentle second sister would have to explain something to my mother, but today she felt like she just didn't want to talk.

What was even more incredible was my mother. She suddenly threw away her chopsticks, looked at my father, shouted: "Lao Chen..." and started crying.

At this time, my eldest sister was also stunned. Where did the singer come from? How could you happily eat shredded pork noodles and end up like this? It feels like it’s not a big deal that the second sister can’t eat. Why is mom crying

The strange thing is that my dad also put down his chopsticks with a serious look on his face. It looked like he didn’t move much with his bowl of noodles. Apparently he didn’t have the heart to eat. He rolled a cigarette. My dad lit it for himself and looked at the second sister. Said: "Second sister, your parents are responsible for this big thing, so just say whatever you want, be good."

The second sister was silent. My mother was so anxious that she wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by my father. It was only when my father finished smoking one cigarette and wanted to roll up a second one that my second sister opened her mouth. : "Dad, stop smoking."

My mother often said that my father smoked too much and would get tuberculosis in the future. Unexpectedly, the second sister, who was very attentive, took note of it. She, who had never wanted to talk, finally decided because my father wanted to smoke more. He opened his mouth over a cigarette.

As soon as my father heard that my second sister finally spoke, he quickly put away the cigarette. His eyes were red, and he didn't know whether it was because he was moved or worried.

"Second sister, dad is worried about you. If you talk about the matter carefully, dad will be relieved and won't smoke so much."

After hearing what my dad said, the second sister nodded.

My mother said nervously next to her: "Do you want the eldest sister and the third child to avoid it?"

My dad was silent for a while and said: "No, let's just pretend that our family is setting up a dragon gate formation to help the second sister." Obviously, my dad did this to relieve the second sister's nervousness, and he may also feel that some things will eventually work out. If it happens, it’s time to vaccinate the children in advance.

Obviously, with the eldest sister and I here, the second sister felt a little more relaxed after all. She straightened her hair around her ears and began to whisper in a low voice.

"On the day my brother fell ill, my eldest sister and I came back to see my brother. When we were approaching my house, we saw a strange woman standing under the old locust tree not far from my door. I couldn't see clearly at the time. I just thought the clothes she was wearing were weird, like the kind of clothes she wears for singing opera.”

When the second sister said this, the eldest sister suddenly thought of how she could hold back her fiery temper, and said hurriedly: "That's right, that's right, the second sister mentioned it that day, but I didn't pay attention at the time because I really didn't see it. .”

When my dad heard this, his hands shook, and he turned to ask my eldest sister: "Didn't you see it? Or didn't you pay attention?"

"I..." The eldest sister recalled it carefully, and then said: "I really didn't see it. If there was a woman wearing singing clothes, I couldn't have noticed it. It was so obvious, how could I not see it?"

My dad got my eldest sister's answer, and his hand shook again. He controlled it forcefully, but my mom couldn't, and she pulled at the corner of her clothes in a hurry.

"It's okay. I think the eldest sister didn't pay attention. Second sister, please continue talking." At this time, my dad thought that he must appease the second sister's emotions, but he didn't expect that when he said this, the second sister became excited. stand up.

"Dad, no, the eldest sister didn't say anything nonsense. I think I'm the only one who can see her!"

Seeing that the second sister was excited, my mother finally couldn't help but walked over, hugged the second sister, and said distressedly: "Then maybe she is a crazy woman. With mother here, you don't have to be afraid of anything. It's no big deal, mother." Fight her. Just make things clear."

As my mother spoke, she touched the second sister's face. Mother always has a magical power that can make people calm. With my mother's comfort, the second sister finally calmed down and nestled in my mother's arms. Keep talking.

"At that time, I thought the clothes she was wearing were weird, so I stared at her twice. Who knew she was staring at me too? It looked so scary. I don't know how to describe the scary feeling. I just remember her. The way those eyes look at people is scary." The second sister tried her best to describe it, but she couldn't describe it at all in a scary way. I'm afraid even remembering this is a painful thing.

"I didn't dare to look at her at that time. I thought my eldest sister had also noticed it, so I pulled her and hurried home. Later, when the two of us went to see my younger brother, I thought of that woman again, and I was very scared, so I I wanted to ask the eldest sister, but the eldest sister said that she didn't see it at all. Later, I had nightmares all night, always dreaming about that woman's eyes, but I didn't dare to say that she was crying under the quilt. "

Having said this, my mother hugged my second sister tighter, and my father also touched my second sister's hair distressedly.

As for my eldest sister and I, we were dumbfounded, looked ugly, and felt very scared. Especially me, we remembered the experience of that night again, and we didn’t know why. We also particularly remembered the red light spot that followed, and that The red light spot turned into a sinister woman, and I got goosebumps all over my back.

"Two days later, I saw her for the second time under the old locust tree on the way home from school. I saw her from a distance. I didn't dare to look at her at all, so I ran home. I think she likes to stand there, and she runs every time I pass there. But... but..." At this point, the second sister cried. She didn't cry loudly, but she shed big tears. She said in a tearful voice: "However, I found that I can see her everywhere these days. During the lunch break at school, I turned around and found her standing under the tree in our school playground. Down there, several times... It was so far away that I couldn’t see clearly, but I just felt like she was staring at me.”

The second sister was a little incoherent and shed more tears, but we are a family, connected by blood, and we can all understand the meaning of her words and understand her current mood.

"I asked my classmates if they saw anyone standing on the playground. They all said no. Everyone said the same thing. When I go to bed at night, I always feel like she is looking at me by the window. No, no, sometimes, I I feel like she is standing at the door of my house. I am very scared, but I dare not say... I feel like I really want to get rid of her."

The second sister finally finished her rambling words. At the end of the sentence, she was just piecing together sentences, but our family heard silence.

I didn’t know where the impulse came from. I stood up from the stool and shouted: "Dad, I know who she is. I know. I saw a woman following us one night." , it must be her! Definitely!"

My parents didn't understand what I was talking about because I never mentioned it, but their faces looked extremely ugly and I didn't know what they were thinking.

At this time, the eldest sister stood up, walked to the second sister and hugged her: "Second sister, don't be afraid. The book says that there are no ghosts and gods in this world. They are all lies. From now on, I will be with you. Let’s see which female lunatic dares to bully my sister!”

In fact, the eldest sister didn't realize it herself. Her words were particularly unfounded because she really didn't see anything that day. She didn't even dare to think about whether her sister was crazy. She was absolutely unwilling to do this. Facing.

If so, she would rather believe that there are ghosts in the world!
