When I came out of the deserted village, I saw about 20 or 30 ghosts. Most of them were wearing black clothes, and only a few were brightly dressed. These ghosts seemed to be unable to see us, even if they were from us. We pass by without even looking at us.
Walking among these ghosts, I was frightened and my legs felt weak. In the end, Zhao Laohei hugged him and walked out, because he and Grandma Hong Rong couldn't see them, so they wouldn't feel too scared.
After leaving the barren village, we walked along a small road for more than half an hour before we saw a road for cars. We waited for a long time to stop a bus returning to the county seat.
When I got to the county seat, I was still a little terrified. In order to appease me, Master Liu also kept his promise and bought me an ice cream for 50 cents. After eating the ice cream, my heart gradually calmed down.
I asked Master Liu about the deserted village, and Master Liu told me: "The formation there is also a fortune, everything has a cause and effect, we just let it go, and we will both come back here in a few years. , you will know everything by then."
I shook my head and said, "I won't come back, and I won't come if I kill you."
After eating the ice cream, we went to the restaurant again, and after having some food, Master Liu said goodbye to us. Originally, I thought we would stay for at least four or five days, but who would have thought it would be less than a day.
So I asked Master Liu, "Didn't you mean to take me to play in the county town for a week? You're leaving now. How can I explain to Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jie when I go back?"
Well, it is more appropriate to replace the two words with "bragging".
Master Liu said: "I just didn't expect this to go so smoothly, and I didn't expect that the 'killer' of that deserted village didn't appear. We went in and out so smoothly, so you should be glad that one day, not a week."
Master Liu's words, I didn't fully understand until I returned to the deserted village many years later. At that time, I really hoped that I would stay in it for a day, not...
Speaking of the present moment, when Master Liu was about to leave, he threw me a piece of jade on which was carved a fat doll holding a fish. Although the carving was very crude, it made people feel cute at a glance.
Master Liu said, "This is for you. Wear it on your body in the future. It can ward off evil spirits and help stabilize your spiritual eyes. Besides, if you take care of this jade, you can sell it for a lot of money in the future!"
I asked Master Liu how to care for this jade, and he said two words: "Wear it."
Master Liu didn't say much to me and left the restaurant alone. The meal was finally paid by Zhao Laohei, so after a long time I thought that Master Liu was in such a hurry that day to escape the bill. .
Master Liu is gone, so naturally I can't stay in the county for much longer. We took the bus that was the last to go home that day and went back to the village. My mother was quite surprised that I came back so early, but I was able to When they came back, they seemed very happy.
Zhao Jie and Zhao Yuan also came over to joke and asked me why I came back early, or whether I was forced to come back by Master Liu because of my waste.
I said, "Master Liu ran out of money, and then ran away by himself. I had no choice but to come back..."
Master Liu is gone, but the story about Sun Yueying and me in our village is still circulating, but there are always new things happening in the village, and Master Liu gradually faded out of people's topics.
As for me, after the summer vacation at school, I was sent to the "Yuhong Class" by my dad, which is the preschool class, and of course Zhao Jie was with me!
In fact, according to the regulations at that time, you can only go to school at the age of seven, but Zhao Jie and I went to school one year earlier because of my father's relationship.
The school we go to is very simple. Although it is in the countryside, it is a rented farmhouse. Our Yuhong class is a house made of stone scraped adobe, and it leaks when it rains, so Zhao Jie and I both I was looking forward to the rain, because when it rained, we didn't have to go to class, and maybe we didn't have to go to class for several days because the classroom was flooded.
And the "desks" we go to school are even more rudimentary. Well, we don't provide desks at all. Instead, we use adobe bricks and wooden boards to make "long tables" in the classroom. Five people sit in each row, and we sit It is not a high stool, but a small stool that I brought from my own home.
In the "Yuhong Class", my grades were much better than Zhao Jie. Every time I took the exam, I was above 90%, and Zhao Jie could only barely pass. It's not that I'm smarter than Zhao Jie, but because I have A father who is a teacher, every day I go back, whether I want it or not, he will cook a small stove for me.
This results in a lot less time for me to play.
After I went to school, I had more playmates, and more new things, so I gradually forgot about Master Liu. It’s good for a child, I don’t remember things, and I don’t have any worries!
Winter turns to spring, and in a blink of an eye it will be the next year, which is 1992. I have a lot of things to look forward to this year. The first thing is that after this summer, I will be able to enter the first grade. I am Big boy!
Most importantly, being able to go to large classrooms, having real desks, and being able to bring large stools from home instead of small ones.
The second thing is that Master Liu came back this summer, because when he left last year, he told me that he would come to see me next summer and give me gifts. Well, I was looking forward to it. It may be more of that gift than Master Liu, but for children, looking forward to your gift is looking forward to you.
In the spring of 1992, an incident happened in our village, which once became one of the topics that must be discussed in our village.
That is a car accident that happened at a 90-degree corner of our village road. People who drive on the mountain road know that the road between the mountains has many turns and ups and downs, and often the turning angle is large and the slope is large. So something will happen if you are not careful.
The road in our village was also built after liberation. In 1992, it was still an unhardened dirt road leading to Shanxi, so there were many coal trucks from Shanxi on this road, and no one would check it at that time. Overloaded, so every car will be full, and these cars are more prone to accidents when making sharp turns and going downhill.
In the spring of that year, it was raining lightly and the dirt road was a little muddy. Experienced big truck drivers know that when going downhill, you can’t use the neutral map to save trouble, let the car slide down on its own, and hit the brakes at the right time to slow down.
Because the brakes of large trucks are iron plates, if you step on them more often, the iron plates of the brakes will heat up or even become red and soft, and the brakes will completely fail at that time.
So most trucks will be in gear, moving slowly, even if it is a waste of oil.
But the driver who drove past our village on the day of the accident was a young guy with little experience, and there were no cars on the road when it was raining. Just when he was about to pass our village, he hung up and wanted to run faster.
But halfway down the downhill, he found that the brakes failed. He tried to put on the gear again, but he slammed desperately, but couldn't get up. At this time, the car had reached a terrible speed, and what was even more terrifying was that There is an almost 90-degree turn in front, and the ground is muddy and slippery because it just rained!
Naturally, the car rolled over when it went through the turn, and outside the turn was a short cliff of more than ten meters. The car jumped down at once, and the other two people who were in the same car with the young man were also awakened. One of them It's like jumping out of the window, but the choice is the right side window near the road, but as soon as his head sticks out, the car rolls over.
Boom! when! when!
Bang!
The sound in front was the sound of the car rolling, and the sound in the back was like an explosion, a very muffled, very muffled sound.
The car turned over more than 20 meters away, and the people in the car were turned over. The driver boy was covered in blood, confused, and shouted "Yeah", "It hurts".
The other two escorts, one was stuck under the seat, and one leg was broken by the blocking rod.
The other person who accompanied the car had his legs upside down, and his neck was "whistling" with blood, and the most important thing was that his head was missing...
It turned out that the sound of the "bang" explosion was the sound of the head of the person accompanying the car. When he stuck out of the car and the car rolled over, it was instantly crushed by the door frame and the ground...
