After all, I was too full just now, and I didn't dare to run right away, so as not to get appendicitis and get into trouble. It can only be said that it is relatively fast.

There are no street lights on the rural roads at midnight, and the roads are muddy and difficult to walk due to the rain during the day. And that night the moon always hid in the clouds and did not come out, although I had a small flashlight, I still felt that it was dark in front of me, so I walked cautiously, and I almost slipped several times.

Along the way, except for me, I didn't see anyone else, after all, it was more than four o'clock in the morning, and it was such a desolate and remote mountain village, so naturally I couldn't see a single pedestrian.

As I struggled forward, I couldn't see anything except the small piece of ground that my flashlight had hit, and there was a slight sound from time to time, like the footsteps of some animal running quickly.

Just as I was walking forward with my head down, staring at the road in front of me, suddenly the backpack behind me made a crisp tearing sound, and then, the contents of the bag fell to the ground with a "bang".

I quickly stopped and shone my flashlight on the ground, and most of the contents of my backpack fell out and scattered all over the ground.

I had no choice but to take off my backpack, crouch down, and shine a flashlight on it to see if it was broken. When I finally found the place where the backpack was ripped, I gasped because I found that the place where the backpack was torn did not look like it had cracked on its own.

There were clearly five rips on it, and the shape of the rips was like a pair of sharp huge claws that had slashed across my backpack at a rapid pace.

I subconsciously looked around, and when I saw a pair of shiny red eyes in a dark corner in the distance, the cold hairs all over my body involuntarily stood up......

I don't know if it was my psychological effect or a coincidence, but when I saw the pair of blood-red eyes in the dark corner not far away, the flashlight seemed to suddenly go out in fright, and the moon suddenly hid in the thick clouds.

It was as if the whole world was just me and those palpitating eyes.

I felt my scalp tingle like a pinprick and sweat ran down my skin from time to time, cool and itchy.

Those blood-red eyes, if you look closely, have no eyelids at all, like a pair of eyeballs floating in the air out of thin air, and the pupils inside are not the usual small black circles.

Rather, it was the shape of a claw, a claw of five fingers, to be exact, and the tips of the claws were unusually thin and sharp.

To make matters worse, I could see tiny bugs swimming back and forth inside the blood-red eyeballs.

These insects are dark red all over, a bit like the veins and blood vessels in the human body, but they don't look like normal blood vessels, they are completely sick varicose veins, which make people feel itchy and numb when they see it.

What's even more terrifying is that I also saw a bug actually burrow out of the middle of the eyeball, poke out its slender body, and look around with its head raised like a snake.

Looking at the strange eyeballs in front of me, I was so frightened that I squatted on the ground for a while, and I didn't care about sorting out the scattered belongings on the ground, and I didn't dare to come out, for fear of alarming the pair of blood-red eyeballs that were only five meters away from me.

Due to the darkness all around, I couldn't tell if the eyeballs were the eyes of a person or a creature, or if they were just a pair of eyeballs in their own right.

Just as I was thinking about it, a crisp rooster croak suddenly sounded from behind me, and I was startled immediately.

I subconsciously looked back and saw nothing, and when I looked back again, the pair of horrible blood-colored eyeballs were gone.

I cautiously searched around for fear that the eyeball would suddenly appear on my back, but I looked around closely, and never saw the pair of blood-red eyeballs that had made me feel so thrilling.

At this moment, the surroundings suddenly began to light up, and I looked in the brightest direction, and a slightly rounded glow like an egg yolk was rising and jumping.

It turned out that the sun was rising, I was finally relieved, as long as there is a bright light, I am not afraid, I remember when I was a child, I heard the old people often say, ghosts, monsters, are afraid of the sun, as long as the day is bright, they will not harm people.

Then there was a flurry of roosters, followed by more roosters in the village, and from time to time dogs crowed.

There are so many roosters crowing, and I am most familiar with the sound of the rooster that crows first, because I grew up listening to this crowing sound since I was a child, and it is usually the first to crow at the moment when the sky is about to dawn. The time is not fixed, it is generally around 5:30 in the morning.

So every time I heard the rooster crow, I squinted for about half an hour, and I got up exactly at six o'clock.

I remember that this rooster belongs to the east of the village, the cow baby is called Niu Yuan, the reason why it is such a strange name, is because his father likes to collect ancient coins, and is particularly obsessed with ancient coins, and later after having a son, hoping to inherit his hobby in the future, he gave him such a strange name.

My name Wang Ling is homophonic with the undead, and it is also a very strange name, maybe it is really like a gathering of things, I grew up with him since childhood, and he smells the same, so he naturally became the best iron buddy.

And because his surname is Niu, and he is a cow, and he is also very strong, just like a cow, plus he doesn't like his father's name, and he doesn't let everyone call him Niu Yuan, so everyone simply called him Niu Wa later.

Niu Wa is a year younger than me, and is my best playmate in this village, and every Sunday I go to his house to play for a day, eat at his house, do my homework, and go back to my own house after dinner.

Because my grandmother had to mysteriously leave all day every Sunday, as for where to go, she never told me or asked me where to go.

She usually goes out before dawn and doesn't come back until late in the evening, and every time she comes back, she is very tired and sad, as if she has walked a long, long way.

Therefore, every time my grandmother asked me to go to Niu Wa's house for a day, after all, Niu Wa's grandfather and grandma were elementary school classmates and had the best relationship, so Niu Grandpa was very good to me, as if he was his own grandson.

When I looked at the rising sun and heard the crow of the big rooster, I inadvertently remembered the past, and remembered the happiest times when Grandpa Niu and I surrounded Grandpa Niu and listened to him tell the most bizarre and strange stories of this village.

Those stories include the legendary origin of this rooster, it is said that this big rooster was picked up by Grandpa Niu near the black hole back then, when it was still a small rooster, Grandpa Niu took it home, and has been raising it until today for almost fifty or sixty years.

It stands to reason that the life span of a rooster should not be so long, it is because Grandpa Niu goes to the vicinity of the black hole every once in a while, risking his life to catch many strange insects for the big rooster to eat, and this miracle occurs.

Because this rooster doesn't eat anything else, he prefers the strange bugs that grow near the black hole, and obviously the bugs that grow near the mysterious black hole also have an unknown side.

If it weren't for those magical monster insects who raised this mysterious rooster and drove away that terrifying blood-colored eyeball, I would have been more than lucky before. I think no matter how young I am, whenever I think of the scene when I saw the blood-colored eyeballs in the early hours of that morning, I still have palpitations.

The sun in front of me soon jumped completely out of the horizon, and the dazzling sunlight also interrupted my memory, and I suddenly remembered that I was running out of time, and I had to go to the county seat immediately, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch the first long-distance bus, but what should I do with the things on the ground when my backpack was torn?

Just as I was crouching on the ground, looking at the scattered objects and worrying, a cold hand suddenly grabbed my neck......

"Niu Wa, is that you? Don't make jokes like this! People are scary, they are scared to death! You say I'm unlucky, and the bag is also ...... It's broken, and it's too late to go home and get a new bag, and it looks like it's time to give up some dispensable items. You're just in time, help me send the things I can't bring back to my house and return them to my grandma. Thanks! I smiled wryly and said without looking back, and began to tidy up the items on the ground.

If it had been before dawn, something cold and bone-chilling suddenly appeared on my neck and grabbed my neck, I would have been terrified.

But in broad daylight, how can there be ghosts, the only possibility is that someone is joking with me and deliberately scaring me.

I thought back to the only one in the village who knew me the most and often joked with me like this, so I guessed that it must be him at the first time.

When it comes to the scratch on the bag, I originally wanted to say that it was cut by a ghost, but on second thought, although the tear marks on the bag are indeed too strange, it doesn't look like it was scratched by a tree branch.

But it must be said that it is a ghost, and it is a little reluctant, such a big paw print, what a big ghost!

After all, I had just walked a little hurriedly, and the road was quite slippery, and I did walk some distance from the woods next to the road a few times in order to avoid the muddy area where there was too much water on the ground.

It is said that this road is usually the best way to go, because there was a particularly heavy rain last night, which caused a lot of water to accumulate in the low-lying areas on the ground.

I don't want to get my grandmother's new shoes for me to go out today, or get too much mud on them, so that when I sign up for school, it will be too sloppy.

I've heard that kids in big cities wear famous brands, and they're very clean, and it's okay if I don't have the money to buy them, but at least they have to be clean, and I really don't want to leave a sloppy image on my classmates just when I go.

On the left side of the road is the village field, behind which are the houses of the villagers, and on the right is a forest, and behind the woods is the cemetery, and behind the cemetery is the terrifying hole.

Therefore, I speculate that when I walked through the branches in the woods, I didn't pay attention to the scratch, and it should have been cut by a thick and broken sharp branch, which is why there are such big marks.

It must have been that when I first broke it, it wasn't big, but when I left the woods and continued on the road, the contents of the bag were too heavy, and the hole gradually became bigger and bigger, and finally it was completely cracked into the horrible appearance it is now.

Just as I was tidying up the things on the ground and waiting for the cow baby behind me to reply to me, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and I remembered something in an instant, and the more I thought about it, the more numb my scalp became.

Because this point is just dawning, according to my experience in the past ten years, Niu Wa has always been a person who likes to sleep lazy, and will not get up until eight o'clock in the morning, or even after nine o'clock.

And last night, Niu Wa came to my house and sent me a very strange thing, which was a pendant carved from wood, saying that his grandfather specially asked him to send it.

The pendant is about five centimeters in diameter, not too round in shape, slightly irregular, and looks very quaint. The pattern above is a very tall tree, with lush foliage, through the dense leaves, I can also see a bright moon, which looks very meaningful. In addition, the carving is extremely exquisite, although it is made of wood, it is not a jade pendant, but I still liked it immediately.
