"Do you remember the story my grandmother told us?" On the way home, Xu Lin asked Wang Junmin.

"What story? There are so many stories. ”

"It's that ancient legend! Say that there is a kind of monster that specializes in eating those naughty children, always during the Chinese New Year, with heavy snow to come to your room, and then... Eat you! ”

"We're all eight years old! It's not a three-year-old child, these words are used to fool children, so that they can rest down during the New Year, and how will he know if you are a troublemaker? ”

"On the first night he will open your window and let you be whipped by the cold wind, and the next night he will build a headless snowman in your yard, and on the third night, he will come and eat you."

"No one really believes it, does it?" Wang Junmin said with a hint of yin and yang.

"I'm too lazy to meet you in general."

After saying that, they went back to their homes.

Xu Lin remembered this legend, not because he had a good memory, but because he was a stubborn child until he was five years old, and he was lawless because of his young age. Although he has suffered a lot of cleanup, the most important thing is that this story has affected him.

Xu Lin thought about what happened recently, and when he got home, he looked at his frostbitten hands, and he was afraid that there would be a headless snowman waiting for him in front of the door early the next morning.

Xu Lin found his grandmother and wanted to ask about it, and also wanted to know if this monster had any weaknesses.

Grandmother is the oldest person in their village, and she will be 100 years old in two years, so she can be said to be a living fossil, but unfortunately, behind the ears.

"Hello grandmother!"

"What's wrong with the little grandson today?"

"I want to ask you about that monster for the New Year!"

"New Year, it's a monster, you have to use firecrackers, paste Spring Festival couplets, and scare it away with red things." Grandmother said as she shook the cane in her hand twice.

It's over, it looks like my grandmother can't understand what I'm talking about.

"Then you can make a fire here!"

"Okay!" (This can be heard again)

The clue was suddenly broken, which made Xu Lin very uncomfortable, he went to his mother, and his mother said that this is all a story of fooling children, don't take it seriously! Xu Lin showed his mother his frostbitten little hand, at this time his mother suddenly opened her mouth, looking behind Xu Lin with a frightened expression, Xu Lin felt a chill, and fear was born in his heart, he turned his head and saw that there was nothing. Looking at his mother again, his mother stared at him with a puzzled expression: "What is behind you?" Didn't you get your hand blown by the wind last time the window wasn't closed? It'll be fine in a few days, it's okay, let's play, let's play, mom will go win money later, and watch TV at home. I'm leaving! ”

After that, he went out to play cards.

The night was deep, the silence was terrible, Xu Lin got up from the bed, wrapped the quilt tightly, his every move was so harsh in this quiet night, in the middle of the night, he didn't want to wake up his family. One step, two steps, he walked to the window, leaned on the window and watched, the snow was still falling, and it was heavier than in the afternoon.

He stared out the window tightly, but unfortunately the night in the village was so dark, he picked up a flashlight from the bedside and shone out the window, it was very calm, and the snow was still snowing. After half an hour, Xu Lin was too cold and ready to go to bed, but when he shone his flashlight out the window for the last time, he still didn't see anything. Xu Lin also felt that he was making a big fuss, isn't this kind of story usually used to deceive children? I thought about it and went to bed, but this sleep was not very peaceful.

In the dream, Xu Lin dreamed for the first time of a monster that he had never seen before, in that abandoned house, the monster was huddled in the corner like a human, trembling all over, exuding a rotten aura. Xu Lin took a flashlight to shine at the monster, it slowly turned its head, only to see that the monster had only a few scattered hairs on its head, its face was pale, and there was endless darkness in its eyes, the monster slowly stood up, curled up on his back, hooked his waist, stretched out its abnormal hands, and let out a few strange laughs in his mouth, and walked slowly towards Xu Lin, getting closer and closer Xu Lin looked at the slender and disgusting monster, and collapsed directly to the ground, and the monster got closer and closer, opened its bloody mouth, and rushed to Xu Lin's face...

"Ah!!!h

Xu Lin woke up, his quilt was all cold sweat, his mother heard the scream, and hurriedly rushed into the room, Xu Lin couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly threw himself into his mother's arms. Mother hugged Xu Lin: "Have a nightmare? It's okay, Mommy is here, Mommy is here. Xu Lin's face was already overflowing with tears, and he began to cry.

At this time, the pale-faced Wang Junmin suddenly rushed in panting.
