In the evening, Shi Tou told Qiuyun a horror story again. Tonight, Qiuyun doesn't seem to be so interested in listening to the story, and since she came back from the market, she looks preoccupied. Now, she has two apples next to her pillow, but she doesn't mean to eat them. Shi Tou asked her why you don't eat it, and Qiuyun said that the smell of apples is too fragrant, so it's better to keep it and smell it. In fact, she was reluctant to eat it, as for why she was reluctant to eat it, only she knew it in her own heart. Shi Tou said that you still listen to the story? Qiuyun said, listen. And so the story begins -

Late at night, a man and a woman walked through the deep mountains and old forests. They were fugitives, several of their companions were captured, and they fled here desperately. The ancient woods here are so dense that they cover the sky and the stars, so it's darker, like a thick bag of ink. The man and woman got lost, they stumbled and walked for a long time without getting out. They were hungry and thirsty, and they were afraid, and if they continued like this, their bodies would have to collapse. In the distance, a loud and low beast howl sounded far away. The female fugitive had been in a state of extreme fear, first, for the wild beast to eat her flesh, and secondly for the man in front of her to eat her flesh. The male fugitive was frightened and angry, and thought angrily in his heart, Lao Tzu is a man who licks blood with a blade, how can he succumb to death in this old forest! He needs food and water to replenish his body's energy. His knife was held tighter by him, and in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, he secretly glanced back at his female companion, this glance was very evil, the female fugitive could not see her, of course he couldn't see her, but just roughly estimated her position, and they could only hear each other's footsteps. The male fugitive found that the footsteps of the female companion were far away from him for a while, not that he was walking too fast, it was that she was walking too slowly, she was doing it on purpose, she must have guessed his inner plan, she wanted to escape, the male fugitive wanted to. Just as the male fugitive turned around and pointed the tip of his knife at the female fugitive, the female fugitive let out a surprise call, "Light! Lamplight! "Oh!" The male fugitive looked left and right. "Ahead! How can you not see! The female fugitive said. The male fugitive turned back again, and sure enough, there was a square yellow light not far in front of him, which seemed to be coming from a window. "We're saved!" The female fugitive said happily. The two of them trudged towards the light.

They knocked on the door, and it creaked open in an instant, as if the owner of the house was waiting behind it, and the male fugitive felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think much of it. An old woman stood in the door, dressed in black and pants, in a black old man's hat, holding an oil lamp in her hand, her wrinkled face and deep, cloudy eyes were even more abrupt and terrifying in the aperture of the oil lamp, like a yellow mask. The female fugitive lied that they had gone on an expedition to the mountains and had accidentally lost their way, and wanted to stay here for the night and wait until dawn before they went down. The old woman nodded, and dodged to let them into the house.

Under the dim oil lamp, the male fugitive and the female fugitive looked at the house, and found that there was only one room in the house, there was no window, the house was very simple, there were adobe walls on all sides, there was a square earthen kang, which occupied a large area of the house, and then there was a table, two chairs, the man and woman sat on the chairs, the old woman sat on the kang and spinned the thread, and the black thread dragged the spinning wheel to make a subtle "squeak" sound (the spinning wheel is a small spinning tool made of wood, and the reader can Baidu by himself, I won't go into too much detail here), the sound was sleepy like a lullaby, and the male and female fugitives began to yawn incessantly, thinking that maybe they were too tired. They wanted to ask the old woman for food and water, but their eyelids closed involuntarily, and they fell asleep, their heads slowly hanging over their shoulders. The female fugitive, in the haze before her eyelids were completely closed, saw the old woman smiling at them, silently, smilingly but maliciously, with a mouthful of neat and strong yellow teeth that were extremely incommensurate with the folds of her face. The old woman never said a word, and the sudden, nervous laugh was so eerie. The female fugitive's consciousness was also confused, and in the last few seconds when her eyelids were closed, she was shocked to find that the old woman on the kang was clearly a yellow skin, and the yellow skin was standing and spinning there. The female fugitive wanted to scream and open her eyes, but the yellow skin kept spinning, and the sound of "squeaking" kept pouring into her ears, and she finally fell asleep、、、、、、

A few days later, a man who went up the mountain to collect medicine found two corpses, and it was impossible to tell whether they were men or women, because the skin on their bodies was gone, such a tragic scene, the medicine picker was so frightened that he almost fainted, he ran down the mountain, as if he had lost his soul along the way, his steps were so light that he almost floated up, and ran to the public security bureau in one breath.

After investigation, the police found that the bodies were a man and a woman, and they were actually the criminals they wanted for selling wild yellow skins.

The bodies of the man and woman were found in a tomb at the edge of the forest when they were found by the herb pickers, and there was a cave next to the bodies, which the herb pickers said was the cave of the yellow skin. In fact, the man and woman had been wandering around the tomb and had not gone deep into the forest at all.

The story is over. Qiu Yun didn't express her opinion or shout as before, her eyes wandered, as if she was thinking about something, she probably didn't hear what Shi Tou said at all. "Isn't it scary?" Shi Tou asked. "It's scary!" Qiu Yun said casually. "Then come into my arms." Shi Tou lifted the quilt. Qiuyun didn't go into his arms, turned around, yawned, and fell asleep. Shi Tou silently tucked the corners of the quilt again and slept. He vaguely felt that they would not last long, and he admitted that he was a pile of cow dung, and Qiuyun was a flower. He likes her, likes to see her laugh, even if she doesn't smile anymore, it doesn't matter to him with a cold face for the rest of his life, she is his, always will be, he will not give her freedom because she is unhappy, he will hold her in the palm of his hand and hold on tightly for the rest of his life. Why is she unhappy tonight, she must miss her mother's family, what is there to think about her father, she must miss her mother, she may go to her mother's grave and cry for a while, to complain, to scold her father, to scold his cow dung husband. Cry, scold, I hope you cry, after scolding, your mood will always be better. You can not forgive your father, but please accept me, I like you so much, in the world, you can't find someone as good to you as I am, do you think you will be happy if you marry a young man?

The tide of thought came violently, and gradually receded, and finally fell asleep. He had a strange dream, in the dream he was looking for Qiuyun, but he couldn't find it, her mother's house, the willow branch house, and the tomb on the other side of the woods in the distance, there were none, he suddenly remembered the wild flowers by the well, by the way, Qiuyun must have gone there to pick flowers. He ran there, but there was no sign of her, only the wildflowers swaying gently in the breeze, and the surroundings were very quiet. Shi Tou went back in frustration, he might have lost her forever. But at this time, a voice came from the well - "I'm here~" Shi Tou stared nervously at the mouth of the well, slowly walked over, he leaned into the well, but there was no shadow of him on the water, and suddenly, a white arm stretched out, grabbed him by the collar and dragged him into the well.

Shi Tou shuddered and woke up, his heart was beating several times faster, what a terrible dream, Qiuyun dragged him into the well, symbolizing that she was going to harm him? No, dreams are all the opposite, she hurts him means that she will love him in the future, right?
