Chapter 9: Fiction and Reality

At this moment, my heart regrets it very much, I went straight forward and was not done for a long time, why did I have to turn back, hesitation is the most fatal, I believe him and don't believe him, and finally believe him but find out that he is not him.

I don't know what kind of horror awaits me, but I don't know why I'm not as scared as I used to be, it's useless to be afraid, if I really get killed by something dirty, I won't let him go, even though he is also a ghost.

However, what I didn't expect was that the light disappeared in an instant, and the "man in leather" was gone, leaving me alone in place, with a blank face.

"Could it be that he was so kind that he let me go? Or do you think I've debunked him and I'm embarrassed to hurt me again? ”

I glanced at the candle in my hand, but fortunately I didn't blow it out, and there was always something that changed the way for me to blow it out.

At this point, the only possibility that I felt that the dirt didn't hurt me was that it was afraid of the candle in my hand.

It seems that the man in leather is not telling the truth or that he doesn't know that this candle is so powerful, not only can it show the way, but even these lonely ghosts don't dare to get too close.

But why can't this candle scare away the lonely grave outside, if I don't come to this yin road in time, then it will definitely come to me, and what will happen next, I dare not imagine, but it will definitely die a miserable death.

"Never trust anyone again!" I kept telling myself that if I believed in any dirty thing on the road, I would be a fool, and that I would never pay attention to anything if there was anything dirty behind me that had happened twice.

I turned around and prepared to continue walking, making sure to cross the road safely, but the moment I turned around, a strange face appeared in front of me.

It was a woman's face, white as powder, her eyes had only a huge pupil, no whites at all, her mouth had no lips, but she kept saying something like chanting, and the voice was like a whisper between girlfriends.

At that moment I really panicked, I almost screamed, I don't know why this and candles didn't work again, this filthy thing actually appeared directly in front of my face.

Next, I thought she would do something, but to my surprise, the face only appeared for a few seconds and then disappeared again.

Suddenly, I felt something hit me on my back, and I lost consciousness.

......

I don't know how long later, I opened my eyes again, and a ray of sunlight hit my eyes, which was very dazzling, and I blocked it with my hand, but I inadvertently saw the backs of my small hands.

"What's going on?" I found myself lying on a clean bed, facing the window, outside where the sun was shining and the warblers were flying.

I stood up and was surprised to find myself a child, and this was my home.

I tapped my head, thinking about what had happened, but I couldn't remember anything more than it hurt more.

"Do I have nightmares again, why do I always feel like I've grown up?" I took a breath to calm myself, I couldn't remember what I had dreamed before.

But this dream is so real that it can make me doubt reality.

In the hall, the chatter between grandpa and grandma was quite cheerful, they seemed to be talking about some jokes, but the two elders chatted happily. I listened carefully with some curiosity, and heard that they seemed to be talking about me.

"Is there something good about me?" I was inexplicably a little excited, feeling like they were going to surprise me.

I haven't seen my parents since I was born, and these two elders are not only my grandparents, but also my parents, and they are the two closest and dearest people in the world.

I walked out of the room and into the hall, where the earthen floor was as clean as ever, while my grandmother was still sweeping the floor, and my grandfather was boiling water with firewood under the iron stove.

This scene made my heart beat violently, as if I had seen it somewhere.

"Grandma, what are you laughing at here, and you mentioned me, is there anything you didn't tell me?" I circled around my grandmother a few times, grinning and making all sorts of naughty faces.

Grandma put down the broom, looked at me, smiled and said, "You ask the old man about this, everything is prepared by him." ”

I jumped up to my grandfather, took his big dry hand and asked, "Grandpa, what have you prepared?" ”

Grandpa smiled and touched my head: "Haha, kid, do you remember how old you are?" ”

Hearing this, my heart beat violently again, why is this question so familiar and sad.

I thought about it for a while and said, "I seem to be ten years old this year, what's the matter, what does this have to do with how old I am." ”

"It's ten years old in the blink of an eye, it's ten years old, and it's your first big birthday, grandpa bought you a big cake in the city, and I'll celebrate your birthday with your grandma today."

Grandpa said as he added firewood under the stove, and the smile on his face did not decrease.

Before, I really didn't remember my birthday, and I didn't care that it was my 10th birthday, and I imagined the deliciousness of the cake and was anxious to try it.

Grandma laughed and scolded on the side; "You rat spirit, why are you in such a hurry, you're eating at night."

"Mm-hmm, grandparents, I'll go out and play first." I jumped around with joy, with a smile on my face, and ran outside to go crazy.

......

The day was fast approaching, the sky was full of stars, the moonlight was shining on the treetops, the stream was quietly flowing, and the night was like a dream.

"Eat cake!" I cheered, staring at the cake in my grandfather's hand.

Grandpa put the cake on the table, sat down with my grandmother on either side of me, and put a few wishing candles on the cake.

"Come, child, blow out this candle and make a wish." Grandma had a smile on her face and stroked my head.

"Child, listen to your grandmother, close your eyes, blow out all these candles in one go, and make your wish come true." Grandpa also smiled and urged me to make a wish quickly.

"Uh-huh!" I nodded my little head, closed my eyes and made a wish, then opened my eyes again, took a deep breath, puffed out my cheeks, and prepared to blow out all the candles in one go.

At this time, I saw my grandmother's tattered and funny padded jacket, and I couldn't help laughing, but I suddenly laughed out loud and didn't blow out the candle.

Can't she really change her padded jacket, even the cotton wool is squeezed outside.

"Huh? No, it's summer, why is grandma blowing a padded jacket! "I suddenly thought of this question, and my mind was inexplicably restless.

I've thought about this question once, when was the last time it came?

I tapped my forehead and tried to remember what had happened, as if I had a dream that my grandmother had asked me how old I was, and I was wearing this padded jacket, and I replied that it was twelve.

"Ahh My head hurt more and more, and I silently thought to myself, "What happened next? ”

My grandparents looked at me and covered my head and asked with concern, "What's wrong, child, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

I didn't answer them, but continued to reminisce about the previous events, but the more I thought about it, the more my head hurt, and I felt like it was about to explode.

I didn't have the strength to speak, so I fell to the ground and held my head, rolling around on the ground, struggling for a long time, and after a while, I stopped moving, and lay quietly on the ground.

"Son, blow out the candles!" Grandpa also lay on the ground, and instead of caring about my body, he asked me to continue blowing out the candles.

At this time, I suddenly stood up, and my grandfather also stood up, I smiled, slapped my grandfather with my backhand, and scolded: "Damn, in order to let me blow out a candle, it's really embarrassing for you, Lao Tzu almost blew it." ”

At this moment, I was indeed furious, and even used the memory in my heart to deceive me, but fortunately I suddenly remembered everything before, and fortunately, I had a very similar dream before, and I woke up from this dream.

The next moment, my grandparents disappeared in front of me, and the whole world slowly disappeared, turning into fragments of time.

I opened my eyes again, and it was the real world, and I fell to the ground, holding the candle tightly in my hand, and it was almost extinguished.

"! Fortunately, my willpower is strong enough, otherwise if the candle is really blown out by me, then I will die. I stroked my chest with my left hand, and gripped the candle tighter with my right hand.

I sighed and walked on, I wanted to see what else these could do.
