Of course, when I was beaten up by my mom, I didn't know that my eyes could see things that ordinary people couldn't.
As for when I discovered this, I have to start with Xiaochunniang's funeral.
On the day of the funeral, Zhao Jie and I, like other children in the village, went to see the fun, but since Zhao Jie said that he had seen Xiaochunniang smiling at him, the two of us were far away from the funeral procession, so far away. Look behind.
Several distant relatives of Xiaochun's family also came over that day, and they remembered their affection and shed a few tears at the funeral. As for Xiaochuner, holding a filial stick and walking in the front, he still grinned slyly.
It is a tradition in the village that at the front of the funeral procession is an elder who carries food, walks and sprinkles it all the way. The implication is to let the deceased rest in peace and not worry about eating on the way, which also means to lead the way.
Today, it was none other than the old grandson who often made fun of Xiaochuner. Xiaochuner was a little stupid and greedy. Seeing the old grandson throwing food on the ground in front of him, he shouted and giggled at the old grandson. , as if begging for food.
Although the old grandson was used to bullying Xiaochuner, he also knew that this was not the time to make a fool of himself, so he said to Xiaochuner, "Don't make trouble, you will eat more when you get to the ground."
Xiaochuner didn't understand, so he threw the filial piety stick and grabbed the rice spoon from Lao Suntou's hand. Old Suntou didn't dare, so he beat Xiaochuner back with the rice spoon in his hand, and cursed at the same time: "Silly dumb, if you dare to come back again, I will beat you up!"
Xiaochuner is usually most afraid of the old grandson's anger, so she quickly picked up the filial stick and was honest.
This was a farce. The onlookers couldn't help laughing "haha". Seeing that everyone around was laughing, Xiaochun'er also laughed. He had absolutely no idea what everyone was laughing at. Of course, neither did we. Know what he's laughing at.
Seeing the dumb smirk, Zhao Jie said, "Xiao Chun'er is really stupid, others are laughing at him, he can still laugh."
I said, "It's not that you don't know he's a fool."
Zhao Jie made a silent gesture to me and said, "Xiaoyong, don't talk nonsense. I'm not afraid that Xiaochunniang will hear you. I'll take care of you."
When Zhao Jie said this, I couldn't help but feel a little hairy on my back, so I couldn't help but look back, but I didn't see anything.
Then Zhao Jie asked me, "Did you hear me last night?"
When Zhao Jie said this, I was taken aback, what did I hear? I really heard some movement last night, probably around 12:00 in the middle of the night, there was a strange sound of "woohoo" on the street under our window. Crying, sometimes it sounds like a laugh, and sometimes it sounds like a scream.
When I couldn't sleep, I asked my mother if there was a ghost. My mother didn't say anything, and my dad told me, "Damn it, it's just that the female cat is springing and calling for the male cat, and most of this noise is mating!"
Hearing what my dad said, I also felt like a cat meowing, and I fell asleep as soon as I felt at ease.
I asked Zhao Jie, "Did you have a wild cat barking last night?"
Zhao Jie laughed at me and said, "What a stray cat, that was Xiaochunniang's scream when she bumped into the ashes from the stove that we scattered in front of the door. When you woke up early, didn't you see the traces of the ashes, they were messed up?"
I froze for a moment and said, "I thought it was the wind."
Zhao Jie shook his head and said, "My dad told me that the mute girl came out to find us in the middle of the night. If we hadn't sprinkled ashes in advance, we would have been eaten by Xiaochun's mother."
Now I couldn't help shivering all over and said, "Then let's not follow them to see and bury people. What if Xiaochunniang jumped out of the coffin."
Zhao Jie said, "It's okay, there is my dad, even if my dad can't, won't I pay you back?"
I wondered and asked him, "What am I doing?"
Zhao Jie said, "You can't run as fast as me. If he catches up with you, he will definitely be full, so he won't chase after me."
Depend on!
We have a custom here, that is, the funeral procession starts after eleven o'clock, and after arriving at the cemetery, the burial time must be twelve o'clock. People) play a few more songs to delay the time.
But if it's too late, pay it back, it can't be too late, because everyone will start early, and in my impression, there is no case of being late.
When they arrived at the cemetery, Zhao Jie's father looked at the time, grabbed a handful of soil, sprinkled a few handfuls on the edge of the cemetery, and then looked at the mountains in the distance.
When he waited for twelve o'clock, he shouted "burial", and a few young men in the village carried Xiaochun Erniang's square into the earth pit.
But at this moment, Xiao Chun'er, who had been smirking all the time, suddenly shouted, like anger, but also like sadness, probably because everyone felt sadness and anger when they found out that his mother had been put into the dirt pit.
Xiaochuner shouted at first, and then took the filial stick to beat the person carrying the coffin, and the person Xiaochuner beat, coincidentally, happened to be the son of Lao Suntou, Sun Sheng, Lao Suntou dared not now. Picking up the pole carrying the food, he hit Xiaochuner. Xiaochuner was used to being bullied by the old grandson. Seeing that the old grandson was angry, he was frightened again. Distant relatives were held back.
When the old grandson saw that Xiaochuner was driven away, he threw down the pole to see if his son had been beaten, so he walked to the side of the pit.
But the moment he walked to the pit, his asymptomatic body fell into the pit, and with a "bang", his entire body crawled on the coffin.
This accident scared everyone, and even more scared me, because I could clearly see that a black figure in a black shroud jumped out of the dirt pit, then directly hugged the old grandson's waist, and then disappeared, Then the old grandson jumped in, and the shadow was undoubtedly Xiaochun'er's mother.
The crowd was chaotic over there, and many people jumped off the grave to help the old grandson, and then heard the old grandson's son shouting: "My father has a heart attack, quickly find someone to send my father to the countryside, no, It was sent to the county."
Immediately, someone started to help Sun Sheng lift the old grandson's head, and then a few people ran to the village with Sun Sheng, probably looking for a car to go to the county seat.
The rest of the people started talking about what happened just now. Zhao Jie's father asked everyone to be quiet, and then continued to preside over the funeral ceremony. When the coffin was put away, those relatives circled the grave three times, and after crying for a while , the remaining young adults began to fill the graves.
"Hey, Xiaoyong, you're smashed and scared?" Zhao Jie shook me beside me.
I just came back to my senses a little.
Zhao Jie laughed at me and said, "You've been frightened for seven or eight minutes. If you don't move, I think you, like Old Suntou, have a heart attack."
I turned to Zhao Jie and said, "Zhao Jie, the old grandson was pushed into the grave by Xiaochunniang, didn't you watch?"
Zhao Jie was stunned for a moment and then said: "Xiaoyong, you are confused, I didn't even blink my eyes just now, why didn't I see it, you must have been frightened and dazzled. Besides, Xiaochuner is not his mother. Are you all dead, you can't cheat a corpse in a coffin!"
I tried my best to persuade Zhao Jie, so I said, "Didn't your dad also say that last night, Xiaochun'er's mother went to find us, that means it's a ghost, and it must have been Xiaochun's mother's ghost just now."
Zhao Jie was a little hairy at what I said, so he said frankly: "I was just trying to scare you and scare you. My dad also told me that it was a wild cat meowing..."
I…
I swallowed and said, "I really saw it."
Zhao Jie said, "How about we go and ask Dad?"
I shook my head and said, I wouldn't go to the grave if I was killed. Zhao Jie said again, should we go back first.
I still shook my head. At this time, it was just the two of us. If we left the crowd of adults, wouldn't we be more afraid.
So we waited for Zhao Jie's father to preside over the ceremony. When we went back, we would find a chance to talk to him about it. There was no response from the graveyard. It seemed that no one saw the scene just now, so I told Zhao Jie. After my father, will he believe me
Or, I really lost my eyes just now, is it really an illusion
At that time, I was a little uneasy.
This was also the first time I saw a ghost in my life, and in the next few months, I saw Xiaochun Erniang more than once. Every time she appeared, someone in our village or the village next door would have an accident, or even die. …
