The sun disappeared in the sky with the last trace of blood, the sky was completely dark, yellow and red, and many crows also rushed out, quacking in the trees, like the cold blinking eyes of many trees and mountains.

Cuicui entered the temple and glanced around, her gaze fixed on the trembling grass in the corner of the room.

She walked over, bent down, and stretched out her withered fingers to scratch at the haystack.

"Daddy?"

It's obviously an interrogative sentence, but it's read as a declarative sentence, and there are no ups and downs at all.

Cuicui tilted her head, her face was as white as a piece of paper, and she looked at the old man in front of her with empty eyes.

The old man curled up on the ground, his eyes widening from fright, and his eyeballs seemed to fall out of their sockets. He trembled violently, his hand holding the straw burst out, and even his lips trembled involuntarily, and it took a long time to hear him stammer: "Cui, Cuicui, are you here too?" ”

is obviously his own daughter, but he is afraid like an enemy.

"Dad, you didn't say that you went to the market to buy something, how did you buy it here?" Cuicui asked.

The old man looked at Cuicui in a panic, and there was a clicking sound in his throat, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

"Dad, you're lying to me." Cuicui stared at the old man coldly.

"No, no, no, no," the old man hurriedly denied, but he couldn't say any other words except "no", and his brain was already so frightened that he couldn't turn around.

Huang Yu walked over to block in front of the old man, and said to Cuicui with a smile: "Cuicui, I am your distant cousin, there was something wrong in the family to go to the uncle, the uncle is here to pick me up, isn't it uncle?" ”

Huang Yu asked the old man with a sideways face.

The old man was stunned, nodded hurriedly, and kept saying yes in his mouth.

Cuicui tilted her head, as if considering the credibility of Huang Yu's words, and as if she was receiving some signal.

Huang Yu smiled and asked, "Cuicui, why did you come here?" It's snowing almost, why did you come out alone? ”

"I'm here with my father," she said, a strange smile on Cuicui's lips, a smile that had no warning at all. "I saw that my father was walking the wrong way, so I followed him, afraid that he would get lost."

Suddenly, Cuicui leaned forward and leaned into Huang Yu's ear, her cold breath was sprinkled in her neck, and her voice rang in her ears without ups and downs: "Cousin, have you ever had a child?" ”

Huang Yu held her breath, and the image of little lily of the valley calling her mother appeared in her mind.

"Nope." Huang Yu said.

Cuicui suddenly laughed.

"Giggles, it's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have it, we're the same."

The skin at the corner of his mouth was pulled up, and a smile was pulled out.

Her eyelids went down, and her gaze flashed from Huang Yu's belly.

"Cousin, why don't you tell me why you came, I'll pick you up, Dad doesn't know the way."

"I will definitely call you next time, I will definitely call you." Huang Yu followed her words.

Huang Yu bent down, held the old man's trembling hand, and said, "It's not good, let's go back quickly, uncle, go home?" ”

When the old man heard the word "go home", he was so frightened that he retreated again and again.

"God ......" The old man grabbed Huang Yu's hand and was about to cry.

"Shhhh Huang Yu narrowed his eyes and motioned for what he called himself.

The old man was shocked and frightened, and finally reacted, "Oh oh, oh, okay, Yu'er, let's go home......"

"Wait." Cuicui suddenly appeared in the background. "Dad, you just said, God. What God, where is God? ”

The old man's courage that he had just raised was frightened back, his eyes were straight, and he muttered to himself again and again, and could only say a word.

Huang Yu pointed to the idol, "God, na, this is not a god?" Such a big god is here. ”

Cuicui looked up at the idol and mumbled.

Huang Yu suddenly felt that Cuicui's expression was very similar to that of a god.

Cuicui went to put yellow paper on the god, Huang Yu helped the old man up, and the old man's legs no longer obeyed, and trembled like chaff.

"It's okay, uncle, there's me." Huang Yu comforted.

If Cuicui hadn't been here, the old man would have been moved to cry.

The cold wind was blowing. The bare trees, like bald old men, could not withstand the attack of the northwest wind, and swayed in the cold wind.

The three of them walked on the gloomy dirt road, Cuicui walked in front, and Huang Yu helped the old man to follow behind.

The road was full of dead trees, except for the yellow of the hay and the dry brown of the trunk, there was no life at all, coupled with the stiff Cuicui who walked in front, Huang Yu suddenly felt that he had entered Lethe.

The branches of the dead tree swayed in the cold wind, like bony hands facing the sky, asking for a glimmer of life from the heavens.

"Cousin, do you think this place looks good?" Cuicui suddenly stopped, turned around and asked.

Her body was so stiff that she couldn't even twist her neck, and she had to turn around if she wanted to turn back.

Without waiting for Huang Yu to answer, Cuicui continued: "I think the four seasons of the year, at this time, I like this kind of atmosphere very much, I think they understand me very well." ”

Huang Yu looked around and nodded.

The same lifeless, the same thin and hollow, the surrounding environment is exactly the same as the dead air emanating from Cuicui's body, just like the same kind of people who have a common language when they stay together, if she doesn't like it, it's weird.

"It's good-looking, it's good-looking." Huang Yu said.

Cuicui walked up to a dead tree and stroked its dry trunk, yearning appeared in her eyes.

Dead Tree Spirit: ...... Don't suffer Lao Tzu!

In order to show that she likes this dead tree very much, Cuicui put a few pieces of yellow paper at the foot of the dead tree.

Mingqi: I thank you for your eight ancestors.

If the tree had an expression, it would probably be disgusted and disgusted now, and he wanted to tear her up on the spot.

But when Huang Yu followed and looked over, Shen Qi's heart was about to melt, and he hoped that Cuicui could stay a little longer, so that Huang Yu could look at him a few more times.

Huang Yu's black and thick hair is lightly and simply coiled up, and the broken hair on the temples is casually tucked behind the ears, which is quite simple and frugal.

Jing Qi thought, Huang Yu is really the best-looking, even if the village woman is dressed as the most beautiful flower in the village.

The mountains shivered with cold, the river froze stiff, and the air seemed to freeze.

A cold snap is rolling in, and a heavy snow is brewing.

Walking on the road can still move, but now stop, the old man shivered coldly.

Cuicui seemed to like the tree very much, and stopped for a while and was reluctant to leave.

"Cuicui, let's go, it's too cold, it's going to snow soon." Huang Yu reminded.

The branches in the sky stretched out secretly, shielding the phoenix feathers from some cold wind.

Cuicui glanced at the old man who was shivering from the cold and said, "Is it cold?" I don't think so, I feel just right. Dad, you won't have a fever, you still feel cold on this kind of day. ”

The old man was looked at by Cuicui's eyes and almost sat on the ground. "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm not cold......"

Finally, Cuicui put down the last piece of yellow paper in the basket and was finally willing to leave.

He watched them go away until he was out of sight, and he turned into a crow and followed.

"Cuicui," Huang Yu shouted from behind, trotting a few steps to Cuicui's side with her skirt, "There's one thing I've always been curious about and want to ask you. ”

"Okay."

"Hmm...... Cuicui, aren't you dead? How was it resurrected? Huang Yu asked directly, and the old man who followed behind him staggered.

Cuicui's expression was also stunned, obviously she didn't expect Huang Yu to be so fierce.

"How do you know?" Cuicui squinted her eyes and asked with a cold face, "We haven't seen each other for many years, how do you know about my resurrection?" ”

It seems that as long as Huang Yu says something wrong, she will kill her mercilessly.

"Who are you?"

Cuicui stopped and looked at Huang Yu vigilantly.

"Ah, you see what you're doing with me like this, I'm just curious. Uncle told me just now, I asked how Sister Cuicui was, whether the eldest brother of the Zhang family had come back, and then the uncle told me this. ”

Cuicui turned around and asked the old man, "Dad, is it?" ”

The old man took a few steps back, his face sallow with fright. "I didn't mean to say it, it's all a family, your cousin asked, and I ...... it"

"Didn't I tell you you weren't allowed to talk outside!" Cuicui's withered hand clicked.

The sound of the hand bones, in the ears of the old man, was as terrifying as the black and white impermanence that came to ask for his life.

Just as Huang Yu was about to stop it, Cuicui suddenly stopped.

She turned her head and smiled at Huang Yu: "Giggles, yes, we are a family, and it's okay for the family to know about it, giggles." ”

That look was like a poisonous snake watching a prey, spitting out a bright red snake hyaccian and watching the prey step by step into the trap by itself.

"Cousin, if you're here, just ask me directly, my dad doesn't know something, and he may not be right for you."

Huang Yu had this intention, she smiled and said: "Okay, I didn't come to ask you directly, I also think what the uncle said is a bit mysterious, he is old, he has never seen this kind of thing, he must have been scared stupid at that time." ”

Cuicui glanced at the old man, took Huang Yu's hand and walked quickly to the side, making sure that the old man couldn't hear.

"That's all his own thoughts, nothing at all." Cuicui said, "My mother is a little demented, so my father asked me to go to the city to buy medicine, and I went for a day, and I ran a lot of houses to buy medicine, and it was another day to come back, so it was delayed back and forth for three days, and it was dark when I got home."

I knocked on the door, and after knocking for a long time, no one opened the door, and I shouted, Dad, I'm back, open the door. The dog kept barking, but no one replied inside. I thought, my dad is old and has bad ears, I'll shout a few more times, and then finally someone came, my dad asked me who I was, I said it was Cuicui, and my dad said, you go back, don't think about here, you don't belong here, don't pester them.

This is my home, where can I go back? My dad was haunted by ghosts, and he kept telling me to go back, and the neighbors outside heard about it, came out to ask what was going on, and helped me ask what was wrong with my dad.

But my dad didn't open the door like he couldn't hear anyone else. I tapped the door with my hand, and the neighbors helped me pat, and then my dad said, "Come in, I'll let you in." ”

What these two people said didn't match at all, Huang Yu asked: "You said, the dog is barking, and the neighbors also came out to help you call people?" ”

"Yes, I can hear the door banging so loudly." Cuicui replied in the affirmative.
