Chapter 2: Horror in a Dream
Dragging my tired body, I staggered home. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info This time, forty minutes by road, I walked for an hour and a half. When my mother knew that I was back, she made me dinner, because she knew that the food outside was difficult, so she prepared dinner early.
My mother was beautiful, about the same as her twenties compared to the average rural housewife in her thirties. With short hair, which is now Sassoon, he likes to wear a black leather jacket, black leather pants and leather shoes when he goes out, and he looks very energetic. At home, though, it's not so sophisticated. At this time, she took off her farm clothes, put on a blue apron, and prepared to cook for me.
Seeing my mother enter the kitchen, I put down my school bag, took out the futon from the suitor and spread it on the kang, took out the pillow, leaned against the wall, the whole person looked weak, and now I am very tired.
"Son, how did you do in today's exam?" Mom was filling the stove with firewood and holding a spatula in her left hand, ready to stir-fry.
"It's okay, it's better than not studying anyway!" After what just happened, I don't want to say anything more about the results of the exam.
Hearing this, my mother was happy: "As long as you do well in the exam, as long as you can enter Waxing Middle School, my mother will be content." For so many years, your father and I have been working hard at home, just so that one day you can leave the countryside and not come back to suffer like your mother!"
Seeing my mother in such an environment, she is still worried about me, my heart is sour and warm. A mother's love is the greatest, I thought to myself. If only they had just listened to that woman, the family would have known what it would be like. Thinking of this, I didn't say anything, but wondered who I was the person who reminded me in my heart.
Today's dinner was quite hearty, it was spring, and the house was full of dipping pickles. My mother knew that I didn't eat them, so she bought me persimmons in Xinglong Town. Persimmon in this season is very expensive, and some rural people basically have something to eat at home in spring, and they are never willing to buy it. If other people see that you always go to the pickup truck to sell vegetables, they will put a big hat on you, and you will be a loser in the ugly Northeast dialect.
My mother was more ahead of her time than the average person. There has never been a calculation in eating and drinking, nor has it been wasted. I usually buy groceries, and I cook them for me when I come back. This is the rural parent, who seems to be rustic, but knows how to arrange life very well. However, when it comes to mother's craftsmanship, there is really nothing to say. Use the persimmons you bought with the stupid eggs at home, and fry them out, which is called a fragrant one.
After eating, I lay down and rested. In order not to disturb me, my mother also went to the neighbor's house to play poker. Lying on the kang at home, I fell into a deep sleep.
While falling asleep, I found out that I had a dream, a terrifying dream. I was walking in a black suit down an old street with a lot of trees planted next to it. In the middle of the trees walked all sorts of people. There are old people, there are children, there are all kinds of clothes. There are girls in cheongsam, farmers carrying rice on their backs, and children riding oxen and playing flutes. There are people from all walks of life, and in addition, there are street sellers, rattles, children's clothes, and some food.
I thought to myself, this is a good place, although it is not as prosperous as the town market, although there are many people, it is not chaotic at all, and it is very clean and refreshing. There are also young women who are holding their children in the malt candy, and the children are peeking behind the adults, which is very happy.
I walked on, and when I came to the first market, I saw an old man selling oranges, I walked up to me and asked, "Uncle, your blood oranges look so big, they are so watery! I didn't expect the things sold here to be good, how much does it cost?"
The old man picked up a blood orange, weighed it in his hand, and said, "This orange is a good orange, with a large amount, sufficient molecules, and most importantly, it is cheap." My son was very filial, and he knew that his father liked to eat oranges when he was alive, so he often mailed them to me. As for me, I didn't dislike it, so I accepted it. You say that this old man is old, he likes to eat, and he can't bite his teeth, do you think it's weird?"
"Uncle, you are so humorous! But I still don't want to buy such oranges!" When I heard that I got it through this channel, I really didn't dare to ask for it!" I said, stepping back.
"What do you mean, do you say that the uncle's goods are not good, since you have taken it, you have to buy it, understand?" The old man is quite stubborn, it seems that if you don't buy it today, you will definitely not be able to let you leave safely. After saying that, he began to shout, and the people walking in the street stopped, gathered together, and prepared to watch the excitement.
Seeing that there were more and more people, I muttered in my heart. This, it seems too evil, what is this? Because of curiosity, I bumped into a ghost in broad daylight inexplicably. This is because I don't buy other people's oranges, and I fight, which is also too depressing.
I said hesitantly: "Uncle, don't talk nonsense, your orange is good, but I don't have any money." You let me buy it like this, the concubine really can't do it! In this way, I will buy it another day!" Before I finished speaking, I turned around and prepared to run away, when I encountered such a thing, if I didn't run, it was estimated that there were many people on the other side, and I would definitely not stop there!
"I, Li Laoba, am well-known here, since you take it, you must buy it, otherwise, you will let your family burn some paper
Come on!" and the people in the street surrounded me, and I saw in the crowd, and the family I met at the crossing, and they looked at me with a mocking smile, as if they were enjoying a good show.
When I woke up from the dream, I felt my body wet, and I saw that my body was in a cold sweat. I don't know why, this break can also have such bizarre dreams. What's even more bizarre is that there are three people sitting on the edge of my kang, and these three people are the three people I met at the crossing.
"What the hell do you want to do?" I curled up in the kang, wrapped the quilt tightly, and looked at him with a frightened face, he didn't say a word, but the woman with the tail behind was the first to speak: "You have obviously looked back, why do you want to leave, you should go with us!"
"Hmph, why should I go with you? I didn't promise you!" At this time, I don't have to be afraid, anyway, the matter has come to this, it is better to reason with her! I wiped the sweat beads from my forehead and straightened my chest.
The man in the tunic snorted coldly and said, "You are embarrassed to say that you are going to eat the tribute of the dead, and you still want to negotiate terms with me! Let me tell you, right now, I am just looking for a stand-in." If you don't follow me, even if I can't be reincarnated, I'd rather die than rely on you!"
"You are not a scoundrel, why should a good son let you be a stand-in! Who stipulated that the tribute of the dead should not be eaten?"
It was at this moment that my mother came over with a stove hook from the kitchen, and she was as heroic as a general! It turned out that I had been asleep for a few hours, and just as the ghost was about to negotiate with me, my mother came back from a game of poker. Seeing that the three of them were on their toes off the ground, they knew that something was wrong, so they immediately rushed into the house.
The three of them looked at my mother and said, "Who are you?"
"I am the mother of this child, and there is something wrong with the child, which is not intentional. If you're not satisfied, you can come to me!"
Men fear evil, and demons fear evil. Seeing my mother like this, the middle-aged man's face was a little hesitant, he glanced at my mother and said, "Okay, anyway, the time has not come." In that case, I will reunite your mother and son for three days, and after three days I will come to take your son's life!"
"Roll...... Get out of ...... right away" My mother is beating the edge of the kang with a stove hook, and she is not afraid of the other party at all!
