Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read. The train runs from Beijing/Beijing to Shijiazhuang, Zhengzhou, Xi'an, and Chongqing. The whole journey takes nearly 50 hours.

To be honest, I rarely took the train in the past, and I really didn't feel anything if I didn't take a long distance in the cold. On the contrary, looking at the scenery outside, there is a pleasant feeling.

When the train just passed Shijiazhuang, it was dark.

In the past, the provincial capital of our Hebei was Tianjin, and later it was Baoding, and I don't know what happened, so I moved it to Shijiazhuang. My home is too far away from Shijiazhuang, I don't have any concept at all, and I have listened to adults since I was a child in Beijing/Beijing and Tianjin.

It's not easy to finally see our provincial capital today!

A total of five of us went to the dining car for dinner, washed up after eating, and continued to chat in the car when we returned.

It's not good to talk about it, and everyone starts telling stories.

It's not good to tell a story, it's a ghost story.

Although Huzi can't tell stories, Huzi has personal experience, so he told these three women about the Black Dragon Valley paragraph by paragraph, but he was shocked to hear these three women.

At ten o'clock, the lights on the train were turned off, so that Yuwanwan did not dare to go to sleep, so we coaxed her to get her back to the private room next door.

There are two people in the private room next door, in addition to Yuwanwan, there is also an old lady from Sichuan, Yuwanwan is in the direction of the front of the car, and the old lady is opposite her.

Here I live in the upper bunk with Huzi.

It's not interesting to turn off the lights on the train, so I just close my eyes and squint, and soon squint.

While I was sleeping soundly, I felt someone shaking my feet. I opened my eyes and touched the flashlight, and it turned out to be Yuwanwan standing under the bed shaking me. I whispered, "What are you doing?" ”

Yuwanwan whispered: "You accompany me, I'm really scared." ”

I said, "What are you afraid of on the train?" ”

"The old lady in my box is scary, why don't we change it, you sleep on my side."

I said, "You have a lower bunk, how comfortable you are!" ”

"Let's change the card, you go and live with me."

I said, "Cheng, then I'll go down, and you can come up." ”

I said in my heart an old lady, what are you afraid of, is it that an old lady eats people?

After I came down, I took a flashlight to shine, and after exchanging the card with Yuwanwan, I went out and opened the door of the box next door, and as soon as the flashlight shone, I saw the old lady sitting on the bunk, she didn't sleep, and she was holding an urn in her arms.

No wonder Yuwanwan said that he was afraid, even if I was a big man, I felt panicked.

I went in and sat down on the bunk, and I said, "Old lady, old lady, you put it down, you have to run for two days, aren't you tired of holding it like this?" ”

"You don't know, this is my old man. Dead outside, I'm going to take him back to the house. ”

I said, "Then you don't have to hold it all the time, just put it under the old man's bunk, and no one will steal you!" This thing is a treasure in your hands, you know! ”

"You know a hammer! I just want to hug it, nosy! ”

I said, "You bite Lu Dongbin, you don't know the hearts of good people!" I don't care anymore, you just hold it all the time. ”

Speaking from the heart, I don't have a good temper for this kind of disrespectful person. It's a public place, and you have to pay attention to how others feel! This scared Yuwanwan away, and I don't know what's going on?

After I collapsed on the bunk, I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, but as soon as I closed my eyes, I felt that the old lady was staring at me.

An old lady was holding an urn and staring at me, how could I sleep! I had to sit up again, and I said, "Old lady, I can't sleep because you've been holding and staring at me like this." Can you put it down and go to sleep? ”

"I'll hold mine, you sleep with yours, and I won't disturb you."

I said, "Hey, you old lady from Sichuan,......"

Then I said in my heart that forget it, the old man has just died, and he must be in a bad mood, so I still won't provoke her. Compare your heart to your heart, and I'll bear with it.

I said, "All right, just sit there." ”

I closed my eyes and didn't think about anything, and my heart said that it was just upside down, and sooner or later I would be able to fall asleep. But soon I found out that I was wrong, and the old lady then started chatting with the urn, all in Sichuan, some of which I could understand, and some of whom I could not.

I sat up again, and I said, "Old lady, can we be quiet?" I'm going to sleep. ”

The old lady said: "My man was electrocuted on a construction site, in Kakali, a construction site in Beijing, and the foreman asked me to collect the body and gave me 5,000 yuan." He said that my man has a rural hukou, and the maximum standard is 5,000, and if the urban hukou can give 18,000. ”

I didn't speak, but I knew there was something wrong with the logic.

The old lady said, "A big living person is so bad! I'll be left alone! ”

Then, she stopped talking.

I listened and lay down on the bunk and closed my eyes.

Then the old lady fell silent, but I had a nightmare.

In my dream I was still on this train, still on this sleeper, I sat up, and saw two people sitting side by side on the bunk opposite me, one of them was this old lady, and the other was an old man.

The old man was not tall, just one meter six or five, but his body was stocky, his head was large, and he had a large black mole in his eyebrows, his teeth were black, and he was missing a front tooth.

The old lady was crying, but he looked at me and smiled.

This scene made me hairy, and I woke up as soon as I struggled. When I woke up, I pressed the light on my electronic watch, and when I saw that it was half past four in the morning, it was still not light.

But then, I really heard the old lady sobbing.

I knew that it was her cry that led me to such strange dreams.

I sat up and said, "Old lady, you can mourn and be good." You can't live crying all the time. Do you have children? ”

The old lady said: "I have no children and no daughters, and I blame me for not being useful, and I can't leave a descendant for the old money." I'm a hen that doesn't lay eggs! ”

I said to myself, "Don't cry, you should be tired of crying all night, I'll get you some hot water." ”

At this time, there was a tea pot on the small table, and there were only two of me and the old lady in the box, which must be the old lady's. I picked it up and fetched a pot of hot water, put it on the table, and said, "Put down the urn and drink some water." ”

The old lady put the urn next to it at this time, and the urn was facing the glass of water. She said, "Old Qian, what a good young man, I got you a glass of water, you can drink some." ”

I said, "I'm bringing water for you." ”

At this time, the old lady dragged a package from the side, then took out a small tea jar and said, "This is mine, and that one belongs to Lao Qian." ”

She handed me the small teapot, which I took and placed on the small table, and then folded water from the large teapot and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady sighed at this time and said, "Today is the seventh day of the old money, if I sleep, the old money will definitely come to me and ask for wine." Old Qian loves to drink, I don't let him drink, I care about him for the rest of his life. ”

I said, "I didn't drink less, my teeth were black, and my gums receded." The front teeth are just drunk and knocked off their heads. ”

When I said this, the old lady was stunned, then looked at me blankly and said, "Do you recognize old money?" ”

I was also stunned, and looked at her blankly and said, "I, I don't recognize you!" ”

"You don't know how you know what old money looks like, I haven't shown you a picture of him!"

I was also stunned by her question, I took a flashlight to shine on the old lady's hand, at this time the old lady took out a photo from her pocket, she covered it with her hand and said: "You, you tell me the truth, when have you seen the old money?" ”

As I slowly let go of the photo, I got goosebumps as my head buzzed. This picture is the old man I saw sitting next to the old lady in my dream last night!

I looked at the urn, and then at the old lady, and I said to myself, this is really hell, how could this happen? Didn't you say that there would be no ghosts after liberation? Haven't all the ghosts, snakes, and gods been swept away by the hundreds of millions of workers, peasants, and soldiers, the vast number of revolutionary cadres, and revolutionary intellectuals using Mao/Zedong Thought as a weapon?

"You recognize old money, don't you?"

I said, "Old lady, you can sleep for a while." I don't recognize old money. ”

I said that, but my heart was really hairy, and I was looking forward to the dawn at this time, so that I could go back and talk to the corpse shadow about it, it was really strange.

I fell on the bunk, and the car shook and swayed, and it shook me. At eight o'clock, a classic song was played on the radio.

Where the peach blossoms bloom,

There is my lovely hometown.

The peach trees are reflected in the clear water,

Peach groves surround beautiful villages.

Yes! Hometown! Where I was born and raised,

Wherever I stand guard,

Always yearn for you affectionately.
