The Tale of the Ghost Eyes

Chapter 82: Man in a snowdrift

Views:

Speaking of the homeless man, there is a little story with us. I remember that the first time we met him was on the way home from self-study one night. At that time, Zhao Jie and I were walking and talking about the interesting stories of the day. In fact, most of them are some so-and-so who fell in love with so-and-so early, and held hands and the like.

When we were talking, a black shadow jumped out of the ditch on the side of the road. At that time, Zhao Jie and I were frightened. I subconsciously threw the book in my hand and smashed him. He couldn't hide. I was thrown back into the ditch after hiding.

Although I had a lot of strength in throwing books, I didn't think I could beat someone back. Just when I was wondering, Zhao Jie said, "Xiaoyong, did you kill someone?"

I shook my head and said, "Can a book kill someone? Besides, he was the one who scare us first, and I don't know who he is. Who was squatting in the ditch in the middle of the night?"

Zhao Jie said, "If he had a bowel movement, when we passed by, he happened to have finished his bowel movements."

What Zhao Jie said really makes sense. If this is the case, then he fell back into the ditch, didn't he fall back on the shit, if my book...

Thinking of this, I shouted loudly: "Hey, who are you, why are you scaring us?"

Zhao Jie and I have been on this road for more than half a year, and I didn't think there would be any bad guys, so I dared to ask.

The man didn't answer for a long time, and it took a long time for him to say "oops". I asked him if he was okay, and he sang songs I couldn't understand in the gutter, because his accent was not from ours, so I said, "Could it be a lunatic?"

After a while, this man got up from the ditch, gave me back my book, and then walked away while singing. The direction he went to was our school, which was different from us. .

So Zhao Jie and I decided that he was a lunatic, but if he was a lunatic, why would he have to return the book to me? Well, then he must be a good lunatic.

The next day, Zhao Jie and I went to school, and I heard that last night, that madman was making trouble outside the school dormitory for most of the night, and finally the teacher who lived on campus got up and chased him away. I asked the classmates who lived on campus, How did the madman make trouble, those classmates said: "Singing, screaming, screaming, screaming, I don't know what to do, I heard that in the girls' dormitory, there are a few people who are scared to cry. Woolen cloth."

This is frightening to cry, and the courage is too small, look at me and Zhao Jie have a face-to-face with a lunatic.

After that, Zhao Jie and I would occasionally run into this lunatic during our self-study morning and evening, and he would always smile at us, so we were his accomplices, so embarrassing.

But looking at his appearance is quite pitiful, so we will bring some food for him. Over time, he will take the initiative to ask for food when he sees us. If we forget that day, he will look a little angry and lost. , as if we owed him something.

Zhao Jie and I were both unhappy with his expression, so I didn't bring him anything to eat for a few days. However, when You Xiaoqing and a few girls from the village passed by, they would give him something to eat. The madman is already familiar with those girls, and he doesn't smile when he sees me and Zhao Jie, this white-eyed wolf!

Of course, Zhao Jie and I don't care about this either. In short, that lunatic quickly became a famous person in the village. I heard that sometimes this lunatic will perform shows on the streets of the village, sometimes doing ugly dances, and sometimes playing An ugly kung fu, sometimes he sings an ugly song, and sometimes he just splashes and rolls in the street to amuse the sunbathing people in the street.

In the eyes of most people, a lunatic is like a clown, so the people in the countryside take it for granted that he does these things, and no one investigates why he did it, let alone who he is and where he came from. , why are you here.

Until such a day, I remember it was around Christmas. It was the first time in my life that I heard that there is a festival called "Egg Festival". For this reason, I specially discussed with Zhao Jie why there is such a fucking festival. Later, it spread to the ears of people who knew it, and we realized that it was Christmas, not laying eggs, and because of this, Zhao Jie and I's understanding of Christmas jokes became popular in our school.

Because of this incident, Zhao Jie and I couldn't lift our heads in school for a long time.

Speaking of that madman, there was a heavy snowfall at our place around Christmas. Because of the heavy snow, after school in the afternoon, the teachers informed us that day students do not have to go to school for self-study at night.

Thank goodness for such a heavy snowfall.

While we were thanking the snow, there was a man who kept yelling at God. His voice was so loud that we could hear it soon after we left the school. This man was none other than just walking on our way from school. the lunatic.

Some sentences are common to swearing words, even in dialect, Zhao Jie and I can understand a little bit, so we heard that lunatic greeted God's whole family again and again, Zhao Jie asked me why the lunatic scolded God, I said self-righteously: "Why, it's not cold under the snow, he froze at night, but then again, where does he live tonight?"

Zhao Jie said, "Would you like to pick up your house? Don't you have a place for your house?"

I said directly: "Then why don't you pick up your house?"

Zhao Jie said, "I don't want to sleep with him in the same room. Besides, he is a lunatic. What if he goes crazy and hits me at night?"

This madman is so pitiful, I was really moved with pity, and I really prepared to call him my house, but instead of sleeping in my house, I went to my kitchen to deal with it for one night, but he didn't wait for me to call him, he would follow along I ran along a small road beside the road to the river ditch below the road. There are woods and deep ditch there. Although it was snowing, it was still very dark, so I didn't dare to chase, so I shouted at the other side, Seeing that there was no reply, I left with Zhao Jie.

And that night, I had a strange dream. I dreamed that a man covered in snow kept knocking on our door. I don’t know why. In the dream, I just didn’t want to open the door, or I didn’t dare. Dare, I don't know either.

Although I didn't open the door in the dream, I knew in my heart that the people outside were covered in snow, especially his long hair, which was covered with snow, like a moving snowman.

The next day I woke up and found that it was a dream. I would go to school with Zhao Jie after dinner whenever something happened. I didn’t have to go to the morning for self-study today.

On our way to the school, we were skiing and throwing snowballs. When we went to the countryside, we happened to meet You Xiaoqing and a few girls, so we left together.

Zhao Jie and I are the kind of people who are more active and easy to find trouble, so we had a snowball fight with a few girls on the road, and soon we arrived near the school, and Zhao Jie and I prepared We threw a few snowballs and then ran to school, so we jumped into the ditch by the roadside to catch snow, but as soon as we jumped down, we felt like we had stepped on something, like rags or something.

And soon we also found out that the position where we jumped was just a bulge, and the length was about the height of an adult. Immediately, Zhao Jie and I glanced at each other and jumped out of the ditch. You Xiaoqing and the others came over and asked us what was going on. , I swallowed and said, "We seem to have stepped on someone."

You Xiaoqing and a few girls were stunned for a while, then after seeing the raised shape, they also backed away in fright, but they didn't believe it and said, "You two are trying to do something bad again, to scare us?"

I shook my head and said, "I really didn't scare you this time, I really stepped on someone."

I said it again and again, carefully put my leg into the ditch, and then started kicking the snow on the edge of the snowdrift, and after a few kicks, I kicked a hard hand!

We were all terrified at this time, a few girls turned their heads and ran to the school. I kicked the corpse and was so frightened that I sat down on the edge of the ditch and accidentally slipped in half of my body, almost missing it.” Xue Du'er went to lie down together, fortunately Zhao Jie was quick-witted and pulled me up.

Zhao Jie asked me what to do, and I said, what else can I do, run away.

When we arrived at the school, the matter was passed on to the teacher, and the teacher called the police station. The police also arrived at the scene very quickly. There were also a few people from the countryside. They took the shovel and threw the snowdrift away. , there was indeed a dead man lying inside, it was the lunatic who was buried in a snowdrift and froze to death.

What to do with the corpse, the people from the police station first carried him to an abandoned house in the township, saying that they wanted to check the identity of the person from the missing persons to see if there were any family members to claim it. Can dig a hole.

I didn't see the madman's death with my own eyes, but I heard people say that his face was pale, many places on his body were frozen with bruises, and his body was as hard as a stone...

When this madman died, he had to remind me of the dream I was sitting in. Could it be that the ghost of a madman knocked on my door in the middle of the night, he was buried in the snow, he came to ask for help, and I saw death in the dream Not saved

As I thought about it, I felt a little more guilt in my heart.

I also heard that the madman's body was removed that day, and it was placed in an old house next to the new police station in Xiangshang.

The new police station is at the location of our old primary school. Many old houses that have not been demolished next to it are now owned by the public. But after all, there are other residents nearby, so many neighbors are not happy. One family even went to the police station to make trouble that day, saying that the body was to be carried out and thrown away.

If the chief of the police station hadn’t used detention to scare him, the family would have been so daring, but in order to appease the people, the chief of the police station had to ask Zhao Laohei to post a talisman, and this talisman was managed by Zhao Laohei. The polar yang charm I borrowed.

This is also the first time that my talisman has been deployed in actual combat, and I am actually very proud in my heart. This forms a great contrast and contradiction with my sympathy for the lunatic, but this is my true heart at that time.

However, the things that should come have come after all. My Polar Sun Talisman can hold down the corpse, but it cannot hold down the invisible ghost!
