Grandpa sat on a stool, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and began to tell us about my aunt, which was about forty years ago, when my father was just over two years old.

My aunt was born on a moonless summer night, in the township health center, the medical level was not very good at that time, my grandmother gave birth to my aunt was dystocia, and I stayed in the delivery room for more than six hours before giving birth to my aunt, but fortunately the mother and daughter were safe.

The whole family was very happy when my aunt was born, although my grandmother suffered a lot, but she was very happy, but because my aunt's body became very weak and there was no milk, my grandfather had to raise three sheep and wanted to feed my aunt with goat's milk.

Grandma's health has not improved, and it is not possible to ask a doctor, the family is very anxious, and grandpa invited someone to tell grandma's fortune, and the fortune teller said that it was because of my aunt.

The fortune teller said that the eight characters of my aunt's birthday happened to be the lonely star of Tiansha, and the six relatives died in all directions, and they were fierce. If grandma wants to get better, she must give her aunt to the person who lives the noble person of Tianyi, so that our whole family can be safe.

At that time, the grandparents didn't believe in the fortune teller, and sent the fortune teller away after giving the money, but then a series of things happened that made the grandparents scared.

Grandma was recuperating at home, grandpa was working in the mountains, one night dad suddenly somehow began to have a high fever, grandpa and his brothers took dad to the township health center for infusion, but it didn't go away, and he couldn't find out what the reason was, grandpa because the money was not enough at that time, he went home to get the money, it was a dark cloudy night, it began to rain heavily on the way home, grandpa walked the mountain road, and suddenly grandpa saw two points of light shaking, thought it was a beast, and slipped his foot and fell into the valley.

Grandpa fell down and fainted on a stone, and it was Grandpa's brother who came out to find out because he was afraid that something would happen to Grandpa because he had waited too long.

When Grandpa was carried home, he had wounds on his head, body, and limbs, and his clothes were also scratched by branches and bamboo branches, and Grandpa couldn't get up from lying at home.

Dad finally got rid of the fever after three days of infusion in the health center, but his brain seemed to have burned out, and he was no longer as lively as before, as if he had been poisoned.

At first, the grandparents did not think that it was caused by the arrival of the aunt, until one day, when the grandfather went to bed at night and dreamed of the scenery on the painting, in the dream someone talked to him and told the grandfather to throw away the aunt, otherwise the whole family would suffer.

The person in the dream was dressed in black, wearing black sunglasses and a mask, not like the people from that place, and Grandpa didn't believe what this person said. But the man in black said that if he didn't send his aunt away, his grandfather's sheep would crash and die on the stones.

The next day, grandpa woke up and told grandma about this dream, grandma just thought that grandpa might be injured and scared, and didn't take it seriously, but just when they finished talking about it, they heard a sheep cry outside the door, and then there was a "bang", grandpa and grandma didn't know what's wrong, and they were scared to lie down the window to look.

A sheep jumped out of the sheepfold somehow and hit his head on the stone steps in front of the door, and his brain burst and he died, and there were tears in the sheep's eyes.

The grandparents didn't know what to do, and they couldn't bear to give her away when they saw their aunt's young and cute appearance, but something strange happened again, and the two remaining sheep in the next two days died on the stone steps for some reason, and even the neighbors felt scared.

They asked the grandfather to invite someone to do the thing, saying that there was something evil in the family, only the grandfather knew what was going on, but the grandpa didn't believe in the evil and still wanted to keep the aunt by his side.

In the end, it was Dad who made up his mind about the grandparents, after the three sheep were killed, Dad began to have a fever again, and the fever began to talk nonsense, although Dad was still young at that time, and he was not articulate, but Grandpa said that he could still hear what Dad said.

Dad said, "There's someone in the shadows, there's someone in the shadows, I'm not going with you or anything." ”

Grandpa was frightened at the time, grandpa knew about the shadow, it was the secret of the Xian family, because Dad was still young, and he hadn't told Dad yet, but Dad said this should be a reminder from the ancestors.

Grandpa and Grandma discussed all night, and finally made up their minds to send their aunt away, and they found the fortune teller again, gave him twenty yuan, and begged him to find a good family for his aunt, so that her aunt could grow up safely.

After sending my aunt away, the fortune teller never came to the village again, and the grandparents didn't know where the aunt was sent or if she was still alive.

But after sending my aunt away, my grandmother and my father's illness was cured, and my father was as lively as before, and my grandparents were relieved, but they still missed my aunt very much, and only such a photo of the full moon remained.

After grandpa finished talking about his aunt, he sat quietly in a daze, grandma was a little excited, her eyes were moist, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.

Our family and Sun Shiqi both lowered their heads and didn't speak, thinking about something.

"Then I didn't look for it again. Dad said suddenly, and we all looked up at Grandpa.

"I looked for it, but there was no clue, the fortune teller took my aunt away and never came back, I heard that the fortune teller later died in a foreign place, and was killed. Grandpa sighed and said.

"For the New Year, don't talk about these sad things. Grandma wiped her cheeks with the palms of both hands, picked up an orange, and handed it to Sun Shiqi.

"Girl, come and eat an orange, this orange is sweet. Grandma smiled at Sun Shiqi and said.

Sun Shiqi got up and took the orange and said thank you to her grandmother, holding the orange in her hand and turning it constantly.

"Knock knock, you love apples, give you an apple, you peel it yourself. Grandma said and handed me an apple.

"Grandma, I'll do it myself. "I held the apple in my hand.

"Dad, what is the secret of the shadow you are talking about!" Mom asked, looking at Grandpa.

"This secret, which only the descendants of the Xian clan can know, is inconvenient for me to tell you now, and you will know it in the future. Grandpa rejected Mom's question.

"Let's talk about it later, I'm tired today, Dongdong, Qiqi, you go upstairs to sleep after eating the fruit, play less with your mobile phone, and memorize twenty words before you two go to bed." Mom saw that Grandpa didn't answer, frowned and lost her temper at me and Sun Shiqi.

"Hmm. Sun Shiqi and I said in unison, looking at each other, it seems that Sun Shiqi also knows that her mother is a little angry.

We put down the fruit, each with our suitcases and hurried upstairs.

"You go up to the fourth floor, you sleep in the east room, and you sleep in the west room. Grandma shouted at us.

On the fourth floor, Sun Shiqi and I came to the door of the house, I pushed the door and prepared to go in, but Sun Shiqi stood at the door and did not move, I glanced at her, she had her back to me.

"How a man is scared. I smiled at her.

"Do you think your aunt will have anything to do with me?" Sun Shiqi turned her head to look at me with a suspicious gaze.

"How is it possible, didn't my mother say that? Your own mother doesn't have a mole. I replied in the affirmative.

"Is it possible that your aunt took the mole there? Sun Shiqi became even more worried.

"It's possible. "I'm a little confused, too.

"Won't you just ask your grandparents? They always know if your mother has a mole on her eyebrow. "I feel like I've found the answer.

"My grandparents passed away before I was born. Sun Shiqi lowered her head and said a little sadly.

"No, I'm sorry, I don't know. "I was a little overwhelmed, afraid that Sun Shiqi would cry.

"Then your mother's family always needs relatives, do you have an uncle and an aunt?" I asked.

"No, my mother is an only daughter. Sun Shiqi sighed.

"Then there are always relatives who have seen your own mother when you were young, why don't you go to my house first, they will hear us talking here." "I was a little afraid that my mother would hear our conversation and motioned for Sun Shiqi to come into my room.

Sun Shiqi glanced at me, entered my room, and sat on the bed, her mind thinking about my words.

"Yes, I have a cousin who lived with my mother for a while when I was a child, and I asked her. Sun Shiqi took out her mobile phone with a look of surprise and looked through the address book.

She found a number and dialed it, and after a while the phone was connected.

"Cousin, happy New Year, I have something I want to ask you. Sun Shiqi said softly.

"Cousin, do you remember when my mother was a child with a mole on her left eyebrow?"

"Are you sure?"

"No, I'm at a friend's house. Uh-huh."

"Got it, I'll pay attention, goodbye cousin, take me to say hello to my uncle-in-law and Ranran. ”

After speaking, Sun Shiqi hung up the phone, patted her chest, and said to me with some excitement

"My cousin said that my mother didn't have any moles on her face when she was a child, it was very beautiful, and there was definitely no one in her eyebrows. ”

I looked at Sun Shiqi with some excitement and smiled and said:

"If you don't have a family with me, you're so happy!"

"Of course, who wants to be a family with you, I'll go back to sleep. After saying that, Sun Shiqi ran back to her house in a hurry, like a child getting the toy of his dreams.

I was both lost and a little happy, and suddenly felt that if Sun Shiqi was really my sister, then she and I could only be brother and sister.

I changed into my pajamas and was about to go to bed to memorize words and go to bed, when I suddenly heard Sun Shiqi shouting in a heart-rending voice in the room

"Ghost!"
