There was only some unburned yellow paper, and banknotes.

The firewood was also piled under the window, and it was useless to split a large pile.

The dishes in the kitchen were gone, and the rice jar was empty.

It's really strange, there is no rice, how does my mother usually eat?

I went to Uncle Dashan next door to borrow some rice, and Uncle Dashan saw me like this, so he simply brought out the rice bag and brought it back to me, and said: Your mother often eats and lives at your grandmother's house, and it is normal to have no rice.

As he spoke, he cautiously looked around, then took out a mask from his bosom and pushed it to me.

"Remember to sleep with a mask on at night, and don't come out no matter what you hear! Got it! ”

I nodded, and looked at the mask, which was made from the animal bones of a cow, and his chin was blackened, and his cheeks were painted with cinnabar red with six claw marks.

This reminds me of when I was a child, every year in April, there was a custom in the village that a bonfire would be held at night, and children would wear masks to sleep at night, and even if they didn't wear them, they had to wear clothes painted with cinnabar.

At first I thought it was a custom, but now I think it's a special reason for the designation. That's why the village keeps holding it year after year.

So I said, "Then I'll go back!" ”

Then when I went back with the rice, I saw that Liu Jiajia had already boiled the fish into soup, and she was surprised when she saw me in the kitchen.

"Brother Los Angeles doesn't know that there is rice? In our village, every April, rice is hung on the beam and a knife is placed so that it cannot touch the ground. ”

I looked a little embarrassed, then touched my nose and said: It's not that I haven't cooked it, my mother makes it at home.

Then you have to know now, this year the village chief and Granny Hua specially added a rule, that is, for the first seven days of early April, the children in the village who go to school must take leave to stay at home, and they are not allowed to go out for seven days, and they must wear cow masks to sleep at night, or they can order cinnabar!

If you don't obey it, the family will cross out that person's name from the genealogy.

Liu Jiajia told me about the recent situation in the village.

Then she washed the rice, lit a fire, and continued to pull me and whispered: "Brother Luocheng, do you know no, isn't that family at the entrance of the village sent by the village committee to sort out the superstitious atmosphere in the village!" ”

"Granny Hua kindly told them last year that it was a custom to wear this at night, and they insisted on saying that it was an old product of feudal society, and these had to be abolished, otherwise the quality of the village would not be high. At that time, she also arrested Granny Hua as a god stick woman, and said that she would go to the township office to transform and transform it tomorrow. ”

"Do you know what happened to that family except Hua Po that night?"

The more this story is told, the more suspenseful it becomes, and I can't help but want to hear the next plot development.

"What's going on?"

"That was the river on the outskirts of the meadow that night, and the water level rose for no reason, flooding the whole family, but fortunately Hua Po was sitting in the bathtub and paddling out."

"After the river passed that night, several policemen came to the town to investigate, and they all said that it was an accident, and one of them said that they could no longer be superstitious, and that our village must accept it, but after he finished speaking, a suspenseful incident happened at that time!"

When Liu Jiajia said this, she pretended to be mysterious again.

Curious, I was itching and anxiously asked, "What's going on?" ”

That is, there was a dead man at that time, and one of them suddenly sat up and threatened the police: "Do you have to kill you to believe it?" ”

At that time, the policeman was startled, thinking that he was pretending to be a ghost, but he sent a forensic doctor to check for a long time and there were no living signs. Then even the forensic doctor was choked by the corpse and fainted. “

"In the end, it's because you didn't find anything? And the word got out. Since then, no police have dared to come here, which is a tacit acquiescence. ”

"And the teachers who come to teach nearby are all from their own villages, and outsiders don't dare to come at all."

After Liu Jiajia finished speaking, she went to wash the dishes, and when she went out, she happened to bump into my mother and screamed in fright.

My mother laughed at Jiajia and said that she was timid, and then brought some fruit for her to take home.

During the meal, I mentioned my grandmother and said that I wanted to see the old lady.

But as soon as my mother heard this, her face changed greatly, and she directly scolded me angrily: "Don't go over and make trouble, your grandmother's illness has been cured in recent years!"

If I see your face, your grandmother should think of your grandfather again! ”

But I don't think that's the main reason, my mother must have something else to hide from me!

When I was a child, my grandmother loved me the most, even if my father and grandfather were gone, she loved me like a baby, especially when I had a fever, and the old lady ran a few miles on my back at night, and her feet were worn out, so she had to send me to the doctor.

The last time I saw her was when I was in junior high school, when my mother and the village chief suddenly told me not to touch my grandmother, saying that my grandmother was a little crazy now and that seeing me might hurt me.

One time I couldn't help but go and saw my grandmother crying secretly while grabbing my grandfather's cloth shoes, because I looked very much like my grandfather, so I was somewhat afraid that my grandmother would be sad when she saw me.

So I didn't dare to go again until now, and the things I bought were all brought by my mother.

"Mom, when can I visit my grandmother?"

My mother gave me a sentence directly: "Wait until you marry a wife and have children!" The old man will be happy to see his great-grandson. ”

After that, I didn't say anything more, after eating, I played with my mobile phone directly in my room, sent a message to Lin Siya to ask for warmth, and then boarded the Penguin, which was full of messages from people in the dormitory.

In particular, Tang Hai asked me when I would live broadcast games again to earn extra money?

After watching it, I thought to myself how he knew that I was making extra money by live streaming games, and then Tang Hai sent me a message and said, let me play the game quickly, he took me to play, and let me follow him to make some money tonight, and said that my computer was too broken, and it was about to break.

My notebook is really old, I couldn't afford it before, and this one was sold to me by my former classmates who didn't want to sell it to me at a low price.

Then I boarded the LOL game and started playing live broadcasts, because my eloquence was not good, and Tang Hai kept explaining to me.

At this time, he seems to be very righteous, but my skills are not competitive, and I was brushed off after a few plays, and there were fans on the screen who scolded me for daring to play live broadcast like this, which is really embarrassing.

I seemed a little unwilling to admit defeat, and after a few more fights, I still lost to the other teams.

Just when I was a little depressed, I felt my head burn, but the part of my neck was cold.

I don't know if it's too much pressure or what's wrong? I felt a little heavy and sore in my arms.

But this game is at a critical juncture, I don't have time to relax, this time I actually won and turned over, and then the screen viewers are brushing miracles!

After that, my skills soared like a rocket, and the team led by me completely abused the opponent!
