After waking up in the morning, I felt very tired. After lunch, I fell asleep again, and when I woke up, it was already dark, and my mother and second brother were busy all the time.
After a while, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside. As soon as the eldest brother entered the room, he went straight to my bed and reached out to touch my forehead.
I weakly shouted "Brother!" He nodded and smiled at me, and then went under the stove.
I lay on the bed and vaguely heard the conversation between my mother and my elder brother.
"Mom, what's wrong with Xiao Jin?"
"I'm not sick, I was scared by your Aunt Dongxiang! By the way, Liu Zi, I asked you to go to the town to look for that person. Is there any news?" Mother asked urgently.
The eldest brother sighed, "Hey, I found it, but the man said it's not yet time!"
"It's not yet time, no matter how late, I'm afraid that something will happen to Xiao Jin! This, this is really a desperate person!"
The second elder brother also asked, "That's right, how many times has this happened! I've seen Xiaojin cry several times at night. Brother, you didn't see it. Since yesterday, Xiaojin has been in a coma , but it scared my mother and me! If you say it, this thing is really evil, you can't help but believe it!"
The mother sighed for a while, and clapped her hands, "I didn't believe Xiaojin said that she saw Dongxiang before, but this time it's all right, she's been entangled! I heard that Wang Tiezhu was also frightened and went crazy, and was taken to town by the village head See a doctor! I reckon that there is nothing wrong with it in the town! Liu Zi, if you go to the town, what else did that man say?"
The eldest brother shook his head, "I didn't say anything, I begged for a few days, but he ignored him! Then he asked me to go home first, and said it was time, so he came naturally. No, I'm done with the work in the town. Hurry home immediately!"
Mother nodded, "Now we can count on him! Well, don't tell Xiao Jin about this, you both should cover me tightly."
I don't know what mother and elder brother are trying to hide from me, and I don't have the heart to ask right now. Because I always feel that there is a pair of eyes staring at me in the dark.
I turned around and looked around the room, but couldn't see anything. I thought it was Su Muyan, but I couldn't find Su Muyan in any corner of the room.
I held the wooden sign, shook it, and whispered, "Su Muyan, are you inside?"
There was no response for a long time, and I felt in a trance that everything I encountered before was probably a dream. Gathering his mind, he got up and went to the main room.
The table was full of food, and I hadn't seen my eldest brother for several days. Today, the family reunited, and the four of them sat around the table. It was supposed to be a happy moment, but today everyone's faces were not very good.
The second elder brother kept adding vegetables to me, and so did the elder brother. My mother served me fish soup, and all the meat from the fish belly was in my bowl. After taking a few bites, I couldn't eat anymore, because I really didn't have an appetite.
After eating a little too much, I couldn't help but throw down the bowl and chopsticks, went to the yard and vomited.
But what I vomited out was not the food I just ate, but jaundice. I felt a cramping pain in my stomach, and there were big drops of cold sweat on my forehead. I held my mother's hand and cried out in pain, "Mom, I'm in so much pain." !"
After finishing speaking, I fell unconscious again!
This time I was stuck in a dark place, and after taking two unsteady steps, I realized that what I was stepping on was not a solid ground, but a very soft object.
I couldn't see my fingers, and there was only intermittent breathing around me, as if there was a huge mouth, breathing in and out of my ear. The hairs on my body immediately stood on end, fear and nervousness made me involuntarily yell, "Mom, big brother, second brother?"
No one answered, which made me even more nervous. I could only increase the volume and shout again. This time, even the sound of breathing was gone!
I didn't know what I was stepping on, so I didn't dare to move easily. I stretched out my hand to touch the surrounding area, and felt that my hands were all greasy. I put it under my nose and smelled it. The smell was extremely fishy, just like the smell in the slaughterhouse when pigs were slaughtered in the village.
I immediately understood what the liquid on my hand was, but I didn't dare to wipe it on my body. I raised my hand and didn't know what to do for a while. I couldn't hold back my tears for a long time, and suddenly felt that I was too lonely now, with no family by my side, no one to rely on, not even someone to talk to. It's like a cat or dog abandoned in the dark abyss, waiting for the killing hidden behind the fear!
To be honest, at that time I didn't know what death meant, and I didn't know how terrible death was. I only know that I am afraid of the dark and the fear of the unknown, which is an innate instinct of human beings. This kind of fear made me curl up into a ball, and Aunt Dong's swollen and smiling face kept appearing in my mind.
This scene is more real than a dream, the real touch, and the real smell of blood stimulated my nasal cavity. I felt my legs trembling non-stop, and I even started to feel a little unsteady.
The wall is also soft, just pressing it down, it feels like pressing on the flesh.
At this moment, a green shadow stood in front of me in a trance, scaring me so much that I almost fell down.
I have seen this thing too, that is, the big weasel was seen in the cemetery. It was crawling towards me covered in blood, and when I got closer, I realized that the internal organs in its stomach had been emptied, leaving only a skin sac. I was so scared that I didn't move, until it stood up in front of me, and I yelled, "Don't, don't come here! Don't eat me! My meat doesn't taste good at all!"
But it stared at me with round eyes without blinking, and there was no movement. I couldn't help swallowing, thought for a while and asked carefully, "Yes, is that you? What's wrong with you?"
The weasel spirit stared blankly, rubbing the huge sawtooth in its mouth back and forth, and then opened it involuntarily towards me, I forced myself to take a small half step back.
After a while, it hummed in a low voice.
Tears were about to come out of my eyes, and I kept shouting in my heart: Su Muyan, where are you, come out quickly! But I didn't have the energy to cry out.
The weasel smiled hoarsely, "Little baby, don't be afraid, I won't eat you even if I die! It's just that I didn't expect that I fell into your dream. It's fate. You help me give that fairy Take a message, go to the bottom of Shuiwazi and look for Wang Fugui's corpse, he's afraid he's going to die!" As he spoke, Weasel sighed again, "I've done it myself, retribution!"
I shivered and felt sorry for the weasel, but I didn't understand what it meant at all, "I don't know where Su Muyan has gone, otherwise, go and tell her yourself!"
"Hehe, you guys will meet again, I'm afraid I won't have a chance! Now I have suffered retribution, and I can no longer let the villagers be implicated because of my fault and kill the lives of the whole village. Little baby, please remember !"
As he spoke, the weasel's face suddenly changed, its clear face gradually blurred, and its voice gradually drifted away, "We must find Wang Fugui's body, we must..."
With chopsticks in her hand, the mother squatted in the corner of the wall, putting them in the bowl over and over again. But the chopsticks still couldn't stand up.
The elder brother sat in the main room with his back to me, and the second elder brother stood beside his mother, staring at the chopsticks in his mother's hand and asked, "How about I go to the town again and look for that person?"
The mother shook her head, "If he wanted to come, he would have come a long time ago! Since he said that it is time to come without invitation, it is useless for us to go. Hey, it has been ten years, and this is just the tenth year , I feel uneasy, and I am afraid that the man's words are right. Now, I just hope that the little Jin girl can get through it safely."
The eldest brother's voice came from the main room, with a bit of anger, "What a master, he is a charlatan! He said it well, but when something happened, he declined and dared not come. I see, I am afraid that he wants to deceive some people. It's just money!"
The mother sternly said, "Liu Zi, what nonsense are you talking about! If you lied to us, you wouldn't have helped us in the first place. Besides, our family is not a land rich man, so what good would it do for him to lie to us! Xiaojin's situation at that time , you are not the clearest, how can you not know?"
The eldest brother held back his anger and turned his head, but I saw him secretly wiping away tears.
"Mom, brother!" I yelled and felt a severe pain in my throat.
My mother hurried over, looked at me, her eyes were red, "Xiaojin, you are awake, you are going to scare mom to death! Sixth son, get some water for Xiaojin!" Mother was stroking my head , and said distressedly, "You child, why are you so uneasy! This drowsiness has been going on for three days and three nights!" Mother said and hugged me into her arms again, and finally couldn't help crying . "It's fine!"
Three days and nights? I always feel as if I just ate a meal, and then I feel uncomfortable in my stomach. After vomiting for a while, I feel weak and weak, and then I start dreaming. Unexpectedly, three days have passed.
I ate at noon, took a rest, and felt no discomfort. I got out of bed, stood in the courtyard, and saw Old Bashi pass by the door, so I called out, "Uncle Huang!"
The old man took a look at me and said with a smile, "Little Jin, are you awake? You really scared your mother a lot!"
I laughed, I didn't expect that even he knew about it. I looked at the little black dog that Lao Bashi was holding in his hand, which was already dying. Asked curiously, "Uncle Huang, what's wrong with Xiao Hei?"
"Who knows! I just took it to Zhang Laosan to see, and said that there is nothing serious about it. But it just won't eat or drink, hey, it's a life anyway, I don't want to take it to the town to have a look go!"
Lao Ba really treats Xiao Hei very well, he is not willing to eat anything delicious, so he gives it all to Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei is also very obedient, he never bites chickens and ducks in the village, and he never goes to other people's vegetable fields to make trouble. The children in the village like to play with it.
When I saw Xiao Hei like this, I felt very uncomfortable. My mother came out, patted me on the shoulder, and asked Old Ba Shi, "Hey, how is the funeral of the Wang family going?"
Old Ba Shi shook his head, carried Xiao Hei into my yard, and whispered, "Hey, don't mention it! I don't know what happened. Dong Xiang's death, Wang Tiezhu seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. The village chief I brought it to the town and found nothing wrong with it! And now not only Wang Tiezhu, but even Liu Quan seems to be possessed by an evil spirit."
Speaking of which, Old Bashi got closer and lowered his voice, "I heard that when Dongxiang was caught before, the nephew of the village chief, Xiao He, and Zhang Butcher helped look at the corpse. They both said that Dongxiang's corpse It's very strange! Butcher Zhang is famous for his courage, and he was so frightened that he had a fever for several days. Do you think this is strange!"
My mother's face was livid, and she turned to look at me, "We never offend her, and we can't live in peace even if he dies! My little Jin has been feeling unwell these days. I asked the Chopstick Fairy, and she was also Dongxiang! I didn’t dare to tell Brother Liu, for fear of causing trouble!”
Mother and Lao Bashi were chatting, and I reached out to touch Xiaohei. Xiao Hei drooped his head, looked up at me feebly, and wagged his tail vigorously. Then he raised his head suddenly, his eyes followed me and looked behind me, like an electric shock, he shrank his neck suddenly, trembling with fear, he kept digging into Old Bashi's arms.
With that appearance, I was clearly frightened when I saw something behind me. I was afraid that Aunt Dong was coming again, so I took a deep breath and turned my head to see clearly.
