Chapter 7: Midnight Adventures

At the foot of the hill in the village is a small stream, about three or four meters wide in the wide place, and only enough for one person to squeeze through. The stream www.biquge.info is covered with pebbles, and some of the stones have a layer of green moss-like aquatic plants on them, and people will have to plant themselves headfirst into the water if they walk up to them. There are all kinds of wild vegetables on both sides of the stream, and when I was a child, when it was spring, I liked to come here with my friends to pick wild vegetables.

Looking up, the sky was gray and dark, but no insects could be heard in the grass.

I sighed, it looked like it was another horrible dream. I often have dreams of being chased by demons, ghosts, monsters, and monsters, sometimes the other party doesn't show up at all, I just keep running, and there is a voice in my heart that tells me that there are extremely vicious things chasing me, and if I catch up, I will die, run fast, run fast, so I often lie in my dreams. As a result, after waking up, I always feel that my whole body is so tired, and my spirit will not be good that day.

In fact, until I woke up from a dream, I didn't see what was chasing me.

Not far away is the creek, and the tinkling of the water can be faintly heard. I feel like my brain is a little straight and wooden, and I can't turn around.

I looked around, thinking that I didn't know where to go anyway, so I simply didn't think about it and sat down on the ground.

I'm afraid of water, but it doesn't matter during the day, like when the light is not good, I don't usually go to the water's edge.

I heard from my mother that a fortune teller was passing by our village, and my mother had just conceived me at that time, and she was at home with a big belly. The fortune teller, who was blind in one eye, passed by my house and asked my mother for a bowl of water to drink, and my mother saw that he was very down, and gave him a bowl of white rice. In the mountain village in the eighties, it was good to have a bowl of white rice. The fortune teller was very grateful, so he gave my mother a talisman and folded it into a triangle. He also said that your baby is a girl, and you will have to point to this girl in the future, but there is a hurdle in her life, flushing, and she must not go to the water's edge before the age of five, and it is easy to be recruited.

She always kept this in mind, and until I went to elementary school, she always asked me every once in a while, and I could only look at the puddles in the village from a distance. My mother's instructions have always been simple and rude, and if anyone says that I went to play by the water, I will definitely be beaten up when I go home.

Growing up, I never learned to swim, and I was unsettled by the feeling of having nowhere to focus in the water.

It's a pity that the talisman given by the fortune teller was lost when I was five years old, when my family demolished the house to build a new house and moved to relocate.

The water was murmuring and the evening breeze was quiet, and I didn't know how long I had been sitting, as if it had been a long time and as if it had only been for a while, and my mind was a little confused. I don't know when, it was already the middle of the moon, the bright full moon hung in the sky, and the four sides were all silvery.

Someone was talking, and the voice was thin at first, but slowly it became clearer and clearer.

"Just sit on top of you for a while, what are you going to do to kill him?"

"His grandmother's dead old man, sit down, and knock Lao Tzu's head." He added: "My eyes have always been bad, and I always cry in the wind." It's polite not to kill his family. ”

"If you act recklessly like this, you will damage the local atmosphere of the village."

"Then Lao Tzu deserves to be shot in the head by him?" The voice was already distinctly high-pitched, gruff almost thunderous.

I stood up, and saw two men sitting by the brook at some point, and at first they were still talking, but when one of the tall men spoke loudly, he stood up angrily, and stamped the stone under his feet, and I heard the sound of water rolling into the brook.

"Who are you?" It stands to reason that I should have secretly hid in this weird situation. But as if I was self-conscious, I asked the devil.

"Whose little girl is so unreasonable, standing here and eavesdropping for a long time, she is really uneducated." The tall man opened his mouth and counted down.

I'm a little angry, it's clear that I got here first, and you guys showed up inexplicably. Besides, in my dreams, I am in charge, do you understand? You have come into my dreams, and my master has not yet settled accounts with you.

"I'm dreaming, do you understand?"

The other party looked up to the sky and laughed: "Dreaming? Interesting. "The voice is loud, and I can't see clearly, but I should be a little old.

"Then why did you dream of us?" The short old man laughed too.

"How do I know? Anyway, the dream came when the dream came. "It didn't seem like there was any danger, and I took a few more steps forward with my stomach out. In the moonlight, the figures of the tall and the short were clearly dressed. It wasn't a modern garment, the color was unrecognizable, but it was clearly a short shirt. Both had beards, about five or six inches long.

"What were you guys talking about? Who hit you on the head? "Since the other party has no malicious intent, I am a very open person. If you think it's in a dream, you can say whatever you want, and ask whatever you want.

"A dead old man."

"Which dead old man?"

"How do I know? He's dead anyway. ”

I:......

After chatting for a while, the short old man touched his chin and said, "You little girl is strange, you are not afraid to come here so late?" ”

I moved a big rock and put it on the edge of the place where they were just sitting, and squatted on it, and the fields by the stream were so much water, that the soles of the cloth shoes made by my mother were a little wet.

"I'm afraid I can't help it, as soon as I fall asleep, I open my eyes and I'm on my way here. There are many such cases, they have been twenty or thirty years, and they have long been used to it. ”

Oh no, to put it mildly, the real age was revealed. In reality, if someone hears it, they will probably say that a little fart child pretends to be an adult, and laughs it off. And if I tell my mother that I am Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, my mother will definitely slap me, and she will definitely beat me up if she runs the train with her mouth full of mouth at a young age.

"Twenty or thirty years?" The short old man had really good ears, and he thoughtfully walked around me: "It's really strange, the little old man has lived for hundreds of years, and he hasn't seen any difference in your baby." ”

He reached out and pressed my head, and I just felt a huge pain in my skull, and the one next door to Mara was so painful.

I don't remember what we talked about later. When I woke up, I only vaguely remembered a few words: "You come over tomorrow, and I will give you a meeting gift." ”

"How can anyone give a gift for the second time?"

"The dead girl is really badly beaten, and I didn't know I would meet you tonight."

My head still hurts, grandma's, why does it hurt so much when I dream! The dead old man next door to Mara, next time I let the old lady meet me, and I will definitely kill you with a brick.

I covered my head and threw myself on the quilt with a hateful low curse, and when I was a little more relaxed, I remembered everything in my dream again. The old man said let me go tomorrow, oh no, it's today, and he'll give me a gift. How did he know I would dream of the same place again?

After thinking about it, I was still a little uneasy, and after a hasty breakfast, I locked the gate and ran to the foot of the mountain.

When I was a child in my previous life, I often went to this stream to play. But after I was reborn, I was only back for more than half a year, and I still haven't had a chance to go there.

To get to the foot of the mountain, you have to pass by the playground of our school. Fortunately, I didn't have classes today, otherwise I would have been caught skipping class by our Chinese teacher, and I would have been punished for standing at the bottom of the stairs.

Our Chinese teacher is very principled, no matter how good or bad you study, if you are late and leave early and skip class or something, you will be punished to stand, not like the general teacher who let the punishment stand behind the classroom or under the blackboard, he directly told us to stand at the bottom of the stairs. Our school is on the second floor, and the only staircase is still wooden, which is very old. At the end of class, the fourth and fifth graders upstairs can accumulate a thick head by running down the dust that runs up and down. Especially when they see someone at the bottom of the stairs, they run more diligently and cheerfully.

Passing through the playground, down are more than 20 stone steps, outside the stone steps is the school toilet, the men's toilet faces the road, the women's toilet, there is about a square foothold at the door, and then outside is the weeds, and the bottom is the farmland. The slope difference should be 100 meters. Several times I dreamed of accidentally rolling down here while going to the bathroom.

Going down the stone road, on both sides are large maple trees that cannot be encircled by three people, and after about forty or fifty meters, all of them turn into gravel roads, and they all wind downward. There are still families here, only about four or five. Further on, there are bluestone paved roads, vegetable patches and graves on both sides, and the scene is exactly the same as in the dream.
