"Lin Tao, hurry up for me, I won't be able to catch the train for a while. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Mother kept urging Lin Tao who was rubbing.

Just yesterday, Lin Tao's mother received a call from her hometown saying that Lin Tao's grandmother was critically ill, so she was in a hurry to buy a ticket to go back.

It's not that Lin Tao doesn't want to go, but he really doesn't have any impression of this grandmother, but he only remembers going to his grandmother's house once during the summer vacation when he was a child. At that time, the transportation was not developed, I took the train for several days, and then I had to transfer to a bus to a small county town, and finally I did a donkey cart for about a day, and I didn't arrive at that remote ancient village until the evening.

For this reason, Lin Tao also had a serious illness, in the impression that Lin Tao's sudden serious illness was indeed very strange, when he was a child, Lin Tao's physical fitness was quite good under the care of his parents, but after coming to the ancient village, he vomited and diarrhea, and in less than two days, he lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were sunken, and he was almost gone, and he couldn't find the cause of the disease. In the end, when Lin Tao woke up, he saw an old woman with a strip of colored cloth on her head.

Seeing that he woke up, the old woman fed herself a bowl of sweet water, and after a while, Lin Tao felt full of strength, until today, Lin Tao still remembers the bowl of magical sweet water, but then there is no sweet water that has the effect of sweet water that day, just like the fairy beans in the Dragon Ball cartoon I watched when I was a child, I can recover immediately after eating all the injuries, so magical, I got up and looked curiously at the strange furnishings in the house, in broad daylight, the room was dark, only a kerosene lamp with a flickering fire, Rows of strange signs stood there, Lin Tao looked at the old grandmother curiously, but the old grandmother's eyes were full of love.

After Lin Tao saw his parents, he knew that the old grandmother was his grandmother, and in order to get sick himself, he went into the mountains and forests to collect medicine for himself, but what was the reason for the illness, the grandmother did not say.

Grandma said very little, during the time when Lin Tao was there, grandma always watched herself play with a smile, and led herself to the small shop in the village to buy candy to eat.

But what impressed Lin Tao the most was that the day before leaving, his grandmother brought a very cute, laughing little girl named Ah Lan with tiger teeth exposed, she was wearing a red and blue cloth shirt that day, with a large string of silver chains hanging on her chest, and a headdress on her head that did not match her size like a bull's horn, which made Lin Tao laugh at her for a long time, but the two quickly got acquainted and played for a day.

On the day of leaving, my grandmother sent them to the entrance of the village, picked up Lin Tao's fleshy little face and touched it lovingly, and asked him if he liked the little sister who played with him yesterday, and the naïve Lin Tao insisted on liking it, but his grandmother's words made him remember it forever, "Then she will be your daughter-in-law in the future." ”

When his grandmother said this, Lin Tao's happy face bloomed, and he shouted happily around his parents that he had a daughter-in-law, but he didn't see the surprise and uneasiness on his parents' faces, and after saying goodbye to his mother, he took Lin Tao to leave this ancient village as soon as possible.

After graduating from college, Lin Tao didn't do well in finding several jobs, either he was fired by the boss, or the boss couldn't pay his salary and ran away. In the past few years, Lin Tao didn't make much money to spend a lot of money on the family, Lin Tao, who had just been fired recently, honestly stayed at home and gnawed at home, according to his friend, at the age of 28, he must be a rich second generation, fortunately, his father is a leader, and his mother opened a beauty salon, and all the money he has earned over the years has been stored in the bank for Lin Tao, and the family is still rich, but he doesn't care about Lin Tao staying at home.

At this time, Lin Tao's grandmother was critically ill, and Lin Tao's father was on a business trip, and his son was at home alone and was not at ease, so he had to ask Lin Tao to go back with her, of course, she didn't want Lin Tao to go back to that place again.

The mountains and forests outside the train window brought Lin Tao back to that vague memory, at a glance, there is no edge of the deep mountains and old forests tightly surrounding this ancient village, the people in the village are busy with hoes in the farmland on the side, and they are playing with a cute little girl under the kind gaze of their grandmother, Lin Tao jumped to the farthest grid, turned his head to look at his grandmother and wanted to show off his victory to her, but found a small blue and black color spitting a letter and crawling towards his grandmother, Lin Tao anxiously wanted to tell his grandmother, But he found that he couldn't speak, and his legs lost sensation at the same time, so he could only stand there and look at the two people in front of him, Lin Tao cried out in a hurry, opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, and his grandmother and the little girl still looked at him with a smile on their faces.

Suddenly, the little blue and black snake spared a circle at his grandmother's feet, and quickly crawled towards him, Lin Tao's face appeared with fear, but he couldn't make a sound and couldn't run, the little snake bit Lin Tao's leg, and a spicy pain made Lin Tao break out in a cold sweat.

"What's the matter, isn't it a nightmare, a cold sweat." Mother woke up Lin Tao to pack up his things, and he arrived immediately.

Touching his sweat-soaked back, Lin Tao breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a dream, but the spicy pain in his leg was indeed so real, he hurriedly opened his trouser leg and looked at it, but fortunately there was nothing unusual except for his leg hair.

After getting out of the car, the two rented a car directly and drove towards the ancient village in their memory. Along the way, I heard my mother say that in the past few years, there has been water and electricity in the village, and even the road has been paved, so it is convenient to go to the village. His mother came back to see it every few years, but she never brought Lin Tao and his father again, but Lin Tao never asked why, and he and his father didn't want to come all the way over, one had no place to live, and the other was dilapidated.

It took nearly 300 kilometers of mountain roads to come to the village. After more than 20 years, there is not much change in the village, it is still an old-fashioned bamboo tile stilted building, I don't know how many years it has been built, many of it is covered with a thick layer of rotten things like moss, although the old village has been opened to the highway, but there is no one to come and go, empty and quiet. It's a good car, and I followed my mother into this old village where I used to play, but now I feel so strange. Along the way, the bluestone road that was stepped on by the people in the old village, this is the only road in the old village that Lin Tao can remember, and the others are only the small shop selling sugar and his grandmother's house.

Turning left and right, I finally came to the stilted building where my grandmother lived. The small courtyard made of bamboo fences is full of white sails, could it be that my grandmother has passed away? Thinking in my heart, I hurriedly followed my mother to the room.

The room is still the same as before, which makes Lin Tao look familiar, there is no window, a dim kerosene lamp in the dark room, the flame is blown back and forth by something, and it seems that it will be extinguished at any time, the mother walked to the side and turned on the electric light, and suddenly the room was much brighter. Putting down her luggage, my mother pushed open the bamboo door next to her and walked into my grandmother's house. Lin Tao followed in, but saw his grandmother lying peacefully on the bed without breathing.

"Grandma, Lin Tao and I came to see you." The mother lifted my grandmother up from the bed, poured a bowl of water from the thermos and handed it to her mouth to feed her.

Looking at his grandmother's weak and powerless appearance, Lin Tao felt very uncomfortable, although he had only seen his grandmother once, but his grandmother's love for him could be felt, and he gently held her withered hand in his hand next to his grandmother. Seeing his grandmother lose weight like this, Lin Tao couldn't bear it anymore, and tears fell on his grandmother's hands one by one.

"Don't cry, child, let grandma take a good look at you again." After the grandmother finished saying this sentence with difficulty, she slowly opened her eyes and looked carefully at her grandson's face, her cloudy and dry eyes were full of endless love.

"Okay, let grandma rest, you go and rest too, I'll take care of her." His mother urged Lin Tao to help his grandmother lie down and kicked him out.

Walking to the yard, the sky has become dark, the old village is quiet as if there is no one, there are no birds and dogs, Lin Tao walked to the door and wanted to go around the village, but when he saw the dark alley, all thoughts disappeared, so he had to take a bamboo chair and sit in the yard and take out his mobile phone to complain to his friends at home about the distress here, but found that there was no signal at all. I had to put on headphones and lie on a chair and listen to songs.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Tao, who was listening to the song, suddenly felt that a bell rang into the headphones, Lin Tao did it excitedly, took off the headphones, and really heard the sound of a bell ringing in the mountains. Could it be that there are Taoist temples, temples and other monks in this mountain? I wondered where this strange bell came from.

Lin Tao stood in the courtyard trying to find the direction of the bell, but he didn't feel it until the bell disappeared, and Lin Tao, who has always been sensitive to sound, did not find the direction of the bell at this time, which made him feel very depressed.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and there were faint lights in the village, as if to tell Lin Tao that there were still people in the village.

Stretching his waist, Lin Tao, who turned around and was about to enter the house to let his mother cook, suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps behind him, turned around, pricked up his ears and found the voice, which came from the dark alley opposite Lin Tao's grandmother's house, and the sound seemed to be getting closer and clearer.

At this time, only the sound of his own heartbeat and the footsteps from the dark alley were left in Lin Tao's ears.

"Who?" Lin Tao could no longer suppress the tension in his heart and shouted.

"Who, who, who." The small voice echoed in the old village.

The footsteps also stopped, and everything returned to the silence, Lin Tao took a deep breath, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and sat on the bamboo chair.

As soon as he sat down, the unhurried footsteps appeared in Lin Tao's ears again, Lin Tao picked up his mobile phone and took a picture of the dark alley, the light seemed to be sucked into the Qin Hei alley, the black was like a black fog, and he couldn't see the other end of the alley, and even the old tree on the side of the alley seemed to be sucked in by the black fog and disappeared into the darkness.

"Ahh Lin Tao screamed in fright by a hand slapped off his shoulder.

"What's it called, did you have anyone just now? Listen to you shouting at the door, come into the house, it's cold at night in the mountains, and it's easy to catch a cold. Then the mother went into the house again.

Leaving Lin Tao alone to stand in the courtyard and watch the pitch-black cloud as if it was gathering and shaking towards him, the nervous Lin Tao picked up a small stool and gathered it above his head, ready to throw it out at any time, holding his mobile phone to shine on the black fog that kept drifting.

The black fog floated to the door, and the footsteps stopped abruptly, but Lin Tao's mobile phone couldn't find what was in the black fog.

A gust of wind blew, and the black mist also gently sank to the ground with the wind, and under the light, a girl wearing jeans, pink short sleeves, and leading a thermos bucket, she frowned and closed her eyes by the light.

Lowering the light of the mobile phone, Lin Tao still looked at the strange girl in front of him vigilantly, but the whole village except for his grandmother and mother was a stranger.

"Who are you?"

"You're Lin Tao, I'm here to deliver food to my grandmother, what are you doing with the bench?"

Seeing that this girl knows her name, she may indeed know her grandmother, and a person who is so old must need someone to take care of her, so she let down her guard.

"Well, haha, get some exercise." Lin Tao shook the small stool in his hand awkwardly and smiled at the girl awkwardly.

"You just arrived today, you must be tired, come into the house, I've made a lot of dishes and brought them." After speaking, the girl took Lin Tao's hand and approached the house.

Lin Tao was led into the house like this, and he didn't forget to hold the small stool in his hand.

"Xuelou is here, I have worked hard for the child and taken care of my grandmother for so long." Seeing this girl coming, Lin Tao's mother took her hand and chatted.

Lin Tao on the side saw his mother chatting so happily with this strange girl, and completely left himself behind.

"I'll cook for you and Lin Tao." The girl named Xuelou got up and walked into the next room.

"Mom, who was that girl just now, why don't I know it. She's also her grandmother's granddaughter? ”

"Yes, Xue Lou is a very sensible child, I have worked hard for her all these years since I was away, you can ask her when you come back." After speaking, he returned to his grandmother's house, leaving Lin Tao, who was confused, thinking about it.
