"That's Mr. Tang's window!" Li Jiansheng flicked a cold fire floating in front of him with his middle finger, and said in a relaxed tone.

"Aren't you afraid of getting dirty, you actually play it with your fingers, do you know what kind of fire it is?" Li Wen puffed out his cheeks and said after blowing away the small cold fire in front of his eyebrows.

"Isn't it just a ghost fire, what's all the fuss."

"It's phosphorus fire, my dad said, it's made from rotten bones. Do you know that you touch it with your hand, and you are not afraid of getting sick? ”

At this moment, the two of them have arrived at their destination, which is a small cemetery behind the courtyard of the Mongolian Academy, more than 100 meters away from the front, and the faint light is the window of Tang Xiucai's dormitory.

The cold moonlight sprinkled over this wasteland, and the occasional phosphorus fire seemed to be desolate, but with the sound of insects and frogs, the sudden appearance of hares reminded you from time to time that in fact, this is still a vibrant land.

Li Wen's purpose in choosing this place is because it is facing Mr. Tang's window, and he can estimate Mr. Tang's activities by observing the light from it, so that he can carry out his own plans.

"Will you get sick? I don't believe it, once I almost ate a mouthful of this ghost fire, but I didn't see that I was sick! Li Jiansheng remembered a past incident, so he disagreed with Li Wen's statement that touching the ghost fire would make you sick.

"Why is it so miserable, why have I never heard you talk about it? What's going on? ”

Hearing Li Wen's question, Li Jiansheng hesitated slightly, and after a few turns, he decided to tell his friends about the past.

Because tonight, I and Li Wen are a little bit of a tribulation. What kind of friends are the easiest to earn trust? Sharing hardships is certainly one of them. In the same way, when can you see clearly that it is a pseudo-friend, of course, there is a friend who abandons himself when it is difficult. Over the past few years, Li Wen and Li Jiansheng have become truly trustworthy friends with each other. Although Li Yuan has an extremely close relationship with the two, the two of them always seem to lack something in their hearts.

Li Jiansheng pointed to the green grass in front of the small tomb in front of him and said: Let's sit down first, and then I'll tell you well! ”

"That's good!"

"Borrow your land and use it, and our brothers can have a chat." Li Jiansheng bowed to the small grave.

"You kid is a quick learner, okay, tell me about it."

"When I was more than six years old, you know, my mother was not home at night all this time. But I don't know if it was a sudden enlightenment, or what, anyway, I was very worried that my mother was still out in the dark at night, worried about whether she would meet the bad guy? Have you ever caught a ghost and can't get home? At that time, whenever my mother was not at home at night, I was always worried like this, and I always thought that it would be good to bring my mother home. ”

"One time I woke up in the middle of the night and found that my mother had not come home. In the end, I made up my mind, no matter whether there are thieves outside the night, whether there are man-eating beasts in the dark and black wilderness, and whether there are ghosts wandering outside the night, I just want to bring my mother home, and I can't lose my only mother in the world. So while my father was not at home, I stepped into the night alone and went everywhere looking for my mother. ”

Thinking of the past, Li Jiansheng couldn't help but feel sad, but he still gently told his exclusive story in his mouth.

"At first, I only dared to wander around the village to search, but then I became more and more bold, and the search area became more extensive, and I even visited this small cemetery. Once, when the moonlight was much darker than tonight, I found the ancient burial ground in Shuxia Village. ”

"Looking left and right, suddenly I saw a man lying on the grass, and his clothes looked a bit like the gray clothes that my mother used to wear. I was overjoyed, but I didn't dare to confirm that the person was my mother, so I called at the person a few times. But when the man heard my cry, he did not respond, but moved. ”

Instead of getting up and walking, he crawled forward without a squeak. My heart sank, it couldn't be that my mother was restrained by a ghost and dragged back to the cave. I didn't think so much about it in a hurry, and I chased after the man while calling my mother. The faster I chased, the faster the man climbed. ”

"After all, I can run faster than I climb, and in a moment I will chase after the man. But I didn't notice that I was mixed with a stone and fell to the ground. The moment I fell to the ground, I stretched out my hand, but I almost didn't pull the corner of the man's clothes. I fell and watched the man crawl faster in front of my eyes, and I forgot to get up and chase after him in a hurry, and shouted 'Mother, Mother, Mother!' while crawling after the man. But after a while, the man suddenly disappeared before my eyes?????"

Li Jiansheng talked about the experience of that night, and the more he talked about it, the more anxious he became. The more Li Wen listened, the more involved he became, and the more he cared about his friends.

Jiansheng said in a hurry, didn't catch it in one breath, and was forced to stop. Taking advantage of the time to change his breath, Jiansheng looked up at his friend's wide-open and melancholy eyes, and his heart warmed. Jiansheng calmed down his mood a little, and then slowed down a little before speaking:

"All of a sudden, I thought my mother was gone, and my heart suddenly seemed to have lost something I cared about very much, and my heart was terrified, but it was even more empty, and my hands and feet climbed faster."

"I climbed two or three times, and suddenly my eyes were empty, and I fell into a big pit, and the man's clothes were being pressed under me."

"At that moment, I forgot the pain in my whole body, because there was a ghost fire around me, and even my open mouth floated into a lot. But at that moment, although I forgot to be afraid, I felt a cold sweat break out, because I felt that the clothes pressed under me were empty. ”

Li Jiansheng's hand slowly floated back and forth in the air twice, coupled with the quiet tone of "empty", if Li Yuan was also present, maybe he would have to pee his pants again.

Li Jiansheng glanced at his friend's eyes with a nervous but slightly dissatisfied face, and cleared his throat before speaking. "At that time, I really forgot to be afraid, I was not afraid of ghosts, I was most afraid that my mother would disappear."

"I opened the garment, and in it was a large hare that had passed out. Your dad is right, the ghost fire may be made of bones. The pit I fell into was littered with dry bones, and the ghostly fire rose from the side of those bones. ”

"It must be those tomb robbers from other lands who want to come here to make a fortune and dig up. The garment I went to catch must have been ripped off the skeleton of which it was taken from, and it was disgusting to think about. ”

"Phew, Bah, Bah." Thinking of the situation at that time, Li Jiansheng spat wildly.

"You really weren't scared at that time, weren't you afraid of ghosts?"

"I think if there are ghosts, they can't even harm those hares, rats, and frogs, so why can they harm me? After that, I really never feared ghosts. ”

"Makes sense! Have you ever found your mother? ”

Li Wen's question evoked a more abnormal memory in Jiansheng's heart.

"Yes!"

Li Jiansheng stopped, thought silently for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "That night, the moonlight was brighter than tonight." The first time I found my mother, she was lying under a tree and snoring. Under the bright moonlight, this time I can confirm without a doubt that it is my mother. You don't know how happy I was. ”

I walked up to her and called her a few times, and she finally woke up. I clearly saw that after her eyelashes jumped twice, my mother slowly opened her eyelids, and as soon as the eyelids opened, I could see the black pupils in her eyes, but then I didn't wait for her to be happy, and her eyes showed a very frightened look. ”

She rolled over, knelt on her knees, bowed to me with trembling whole body, and shouted vaguely: "'The fog spares life, the fog spares life.'" I didn't hurt you, don't look for me. 'Those gibberish words. ”

"Fog? What fog? Li Wen couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I don't know what it means, but that's what my mother shouted. She also shouted, 'I'll say anything, please take back the little turtle in the fog, please take the little turtle back!' You don't know how frightened she was at that time, she knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and didn't dare to raise her head, so she pointed at me with her trembling fingers and said, 'Please take back the little turtle, please take back the little turtle in the fog' inexplicable words. ”

"What a little turtle and a duckling mess up, do you hear clearly? And what about later? ”

Li Wen was confused.

I was taken aback by my mother's behavior, and I was stunned for a moment before reacting. I came closer to her and said, 'Mother, it's me, I'm Jiansheng, I'm your son!' ’。 When I bent down to help her up, Niang Huoran looked up at me, and I saw a look of horror that I had never seen before. ”

"My eyes were inches away from hers, and I could see what real fear was. What I will never forget is not her unusually pale face, not the sound of her 'clicking' teeth, but the change of pupils. My mother's pupils are like ink dripping into the water, Huo Ran spreads. ”

As Li Jiansheng spoke, he realized that he was too nervous and too engaged, and he spoke quickly, looking at his friend's round and surprised eyes. Without waiting for the other party to ask questions, after Jiansheng swallowed his saliva and moistened his throat, he deliberately slowed down the speed of speech by half a beat and said softly. Such a slowdown also eases each other's nervousness.

"I watched my mother's pupils widen and dilated, and I didn't understand what was going on, when she fell to the ground with a 'snap', and she fainted with her eyes wide open. I had no choice but to crouch in front of my mother and wait for her to wake up. ”

"After a while, my mother finally woke up, and the first thing she did was look up suddenly. When she saw me, her pupils repeated from contraction to divaliction, and then to the ground with her eyes wide open and fainted. After repeating this twice, I realized that she was afraid of me, and she was terribly afraid. I really don't know why, I had to stay away from her. ”

I hid behind a tree far away and looked at my mother, silently calling my mother in my heart, but tears quietly fell. That was the one that shed the most tears in my eyes. Actually, I didn't cry, but the tears just couldn't stop flowing, and I couldn't help but flow all night, all night! ”

Looking at his friend who was a little choked up and his eyes were already foggy, Li Wen's gaze had changed from surprise to pity, and he patted Jiansheng on the shoulder and said, "We have all lost things, but the important thing is that we are all still living well now?" ”

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" The stubborn Li Jiansheng dodged the warm little hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile.

"And then?" Li Wen still couldn't help the curiosity in his heart.

Afterward? Of course, there was no more later. After Li Jiansheng experienced that unforgettable night, he realized that he would never enter his mother's heart. And his mother may never give him a warm embrace in his longing; One, the normal maternal love in longing, he became a child with a mother and without a mother.

Li Jiansheng understands what is the use of finding his mother, it will only frighten her, why should people from two different worlds go to find it? What's the use of meeting people and not knowing each other?

When the two were silently talking about their hearts, suddenly Li Jiansheng was overjoyed, pointed to the window not far in front of him that melted into the night, and said, "Look, Mr. Tang has turned off the lights, let's act!" ”
