Verse 9: The weeping child
I hugged Chenchen hard, and vigilantly guarded against those black cats suddenly rushing towards me, and walked quickly through the small courtyard to the bathroom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But the black cat suddenly seemed to lose its vigilance and interest in us, and a pair of green eyes stared at a dead corner of the courtyard, as if there was a huge mouse hiding somewhere waiting to be his delicacy. The other black cats were cautiously roaming around the courtyard and around him, as if they were watching something in our small yard, and this big cat was obviously the Elvis Presley of this group.
If it weren't for the fear of disturbing my mother and the neighbors next to me, I think I would have shouted and chased them away with sticks, and it didn't feel good to be watched, not even cats.
The bathroom is behind the courtyard gate, alone at the door, the night is charming, tonight's courtyard seems to be particularly cold, not only cold but also dark, even if the courtyard lights are turned on, it feels dim and unknown, plus some wild cats of unknown origin, always feel tight in the heart, cold on the body.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a faint cry, this cry was extremely suppressed, as if it was afraid of making a sound, but it couldn't stop crying. It feels like a sobbing sound due to extreme fear and sadness. At first, I thought I had heard it wrong, but as the cry came slowly, it became clearer and clearer in my ears.
Suddenly, I saw a small figure squatting in the darkness in the corner of the courtyard gate, "Who?!" I lowered my voice and exclaimed, my voice a little hoarse.
No one answered, a gust of wind passed, there was a hissing sound, black shadows danced, I remembered, there were several rows of briquettes, my mother was afraid of the rain and floating, so she covered it with an oilcloth, and now that the briquettes are used, they look "short", and I can't help but feel funny for my own plants and trees!
But at this time, the voice seemed to be louder and clearer, it was actually the cry of a child?! Listen again, it came from outside the door, how could there be a child's cry in the middle of the night?! The goosebumps all over his body couldn't help but rise layer by layer, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity and walked gently to the door, not daring to open the door, so he crawled on the door and wanted to look outside through the crack in the door.
"Meow!" Behind me, there was a sudden hissing and suppressed cat meow, the cry was not loud but it startled me, it was not the big cat, but a "small" cat, small in fact slightly larger than the domestic cat, his cry was small, but full of warning, and the crying outside the door immediately stopped.
Chenchen came out, and I picked her up.
"Go, go, go!" I hated the provocation of this "kitten", and I was afraid that it would be unhappy to pounce on Chenchen and scare or scratch it, so I waved my hands, and even raised my feet to drive it away, and it twisted its body with disdain, and skimmed up to the roof lightly.
I am very puzzled why these "wild cats" have been lying in our house, and they seem to be extremely concerned about the blind spot in our courtyard now, as if they are stalemate over something.
I suddenly woke up to something, startled, and hurriedly walked to that corner, these greedy cats, must be hungry! I walked quickly to the corner of the courtyard with Chenchen in my arms, fortunately, the small door was still closed, and I was relieved.
But I don't know why, as soon as I approached the small door, from the tail vertebrae down the spine, there was a trembling coming, it seemed to be a force that did not belong to me, and I couldn't help but have an instinctive resistance.
It was as if something was calling me in the small door, and perhaps out of human troubles and uncertainty, I gently pulled the latch on the door and opened the door.
As the small door opened, the shivering sensation conveyed a feeling of extreme fear that quickly rushed to my brain. Even I was amazed that this feeling coming from my body was just opening this little door. As for being scared like this? Since the nightmare just now, it seems that I always feel a wave of emotions and thoughts that do not belong to me continue to emerge. It was like there was something more in my body, and this "thing" was very timid, it kept sending me frightened messages, although my instinct knew that this was my own courtyard and house, and there was nothing to be afraid of, but it was just scared and shivering.
As if it couldn't stop my movements, the moment the door opened, it quickly receded, and all the sensations it had just felt were gone, as if it was afraid of something, and quickly the cat got up, and the cat was in a hidden place in my body......
This is a long hut converted from a stairwell, and the main house at that time may have been changed for the beauty of the courtyard and to save space. Later, my family made a living by running that small shop, which was a roast duck business, and it became a place to store and dry roast duck.
This is also a very bloody business in the back kitchen, although the ducks that have been slaughtered are brought back and forth, but the flesh of those dead creatures must be processed layer by layer every day before it can reach the consumer's table, especially the cleaning of ducks, mainly to wash the bloody internal organs. In the past, I thought I would not have done this kind of thing and was afraid to do it, but now I have to do it for a living.
Maybe it's because I've been contaminated in the bloody gas for a long time.,People have become bloody and ruthless.,That's what happened before.,I don't know what the origin of this red jade my brother gave.,It seems to have suppressed my violent anger.ć
The small door opened, I don't know why, the door was particularly dark, there was a cold wind rushing in the face, it was like entering the cold storage, how is this possible? Even if it's dark, the lights are on in the courtyard after all, that kind of darkness is like a starless night, as if there is a magic power that can swallow the endless sky, and the hair on the whole body can't help but explode, and an ominous induction spreads all over the body like an overelectricity, I can't help but hug Chenchen tighter again, and want to reach into the inside of the hut door to turn on the switch on the light in the hut, but I find that my hand seems to be blocked by an invisible force!
My heart couldn't help but tighten, and I had a few doubts, how could it be, the air was like substance, and there would be resistance? It must be an illusion.,The power in the hand can't help but increase a few copies.,This time I didn't go to the switch.,But directly pushed the palm into the door.,I wonder if someone is blocking the black plate in the door!
One hand touched something that seemed to be elastic but invisible, and a burning sensation suddenly spread throughout the body along the bifurcated divine essence in the eyebrows, a pair of eyes that seemed to be with endless curses flashed in his mind, and the red jade on his chest also flashed like nothing, and the inexplicable "thing" in his body seemed to have escaped there without knowing it, and no longer showed his "shape", but the darkness in the hut seemed to have broken a hole!
The strange phenomenon made me extremely surprised that I didn't have time to analyze it, and it was already catapulted out, and at this time, I found that the group of wild cats had already come behind me in a semi-encirclement at some point, and at this time, an extremely terrifying and hideous face flew out of the hole, and Chenchen was already crying......
