"The vast end of the world is my love, and the flowers are blooming at the foot of the green mountains......"

A ringing of my cell phone made the busy dormitory even more chaotic, and I threw down my clothes and looked up to see piles of miscellaneous items separating me from it like a thousand mountains and rivers.

"Amu, throw me the phone!" I straightened up and shouted.

"Your sister, why is it so difficult to let you change the bell, every day the devil is heard, and I have finally survived to the end!"

Amu grabbed the phone and threw it over while shouting, I raised my hand to pick it up, and when I saw that the screen showed "Daddy", I pressed answer.

"What's up, Dad, I'll ...... tomorrow"

A muddled old voice interrupted me: "Daze, are you?" I'm your uncle. ”

"Uncle Zhang?" I was stunned for a moment, I heard that it was the voice of the village chief Zhang Guifu, and a panic suddenly surged in my heart for no reason, and I lowered my voice, "It's me, what about my father?" ”

The village chief sighed, and his voice lowered: "Daze, your father is ...... went. ”

My heart instantly sank to the bottom, the dormitory was still busy, but I seemed to suddenly become deaf, and my ears echoed with the words of the village chief, your father, he went......

Everything in front of me gradually blurred, and I cried unexpectedly, even though I had prepared in my heart a thousand times and ten thousand times, but when I really heard the news, I still cried.

How could it be so coincidental, but on the day I graduated from college! Originally, I could go back tomorrow, but I still couldn't see this side, what did our Zhao family do wrong to suffer this kind of torture!

"Osawa, Osawa?" The village chief's voice was like a veil, "Children's Day mourning, no one wants to hear about this matter, your family's situation is different, how can you look ......at it?"

I wiped my eyes vigorously and said hoarsely, "Or like my grandfather?" ”

"yes, what's the matter? ...... now Go up in flames? ”

"Don't!" My heart was sour, "Wait for me, I'll go back now!" If it doesn't come before dark, you burn it again......"

I hung up the phone in a daze, and when I looked up, I saw five pairs of eyes staring at me in unison, and there was silence in the dormitory.

"Osawa, what's going on?" The head of the dormitory spoke cautiously.

I shook my head: "I'm sorry I can't drink with you at night, I have to go back now, my dad...... Nope. ”

It was still noisy outside, but it was so quiet in the dormitory that everyone kept their mouths shut, and I didn't know what to say.

I leaned down and stuffed the rest of my clothes into my suitcase, and carried the suitcase on tiptoe through the clutter pile, and one of my brothers patted me on the shoulder and watched me walk out the door in silence.

There was no goodbye, no blessing, and my brother, who had been with me for four years, said goodbye to me completely because of this phone call.

……

The car drove slowly and noisily to my hometown, and I bent over, buried my face in my lap, tears streaming uncontrollably.

In the end, I was the only one left.

For some unknown reason, my family was saddled with a blood curse, and all the males in my family from my great-grandfather's generation did not live to be fifty years old.

Death comes suddenly, without warning, and can happen at any time, and the dead are bleeding and painful, and they will die in less than five minutes.

All this was told to me by my father, who was forty-six years old this year, and knew that his days were numbered, so he told me early to be prepared, and I was afraid day and night to hear the news of his death, but I could not escape.

All those who died in the family due to the blood curse must be cremated before dark, this is the family rule, the grandfather died early, at the age of forty-two, he was already gone, and the great-grandfather died unexpectedly at a very young age, the grandfather was only three years old when he died, everything about the family was left by the great-grandmother.

My family has always been unprosperous, and when I arrived at my great-grandfather's generation, I suddenly encountered this kind of change, and the family was almost dead, and this kind of unlucky thing made it difficult for my father to ask for a daughter-in-law.

In the end, relying on money, my ancestors passed down a few antiques from generation to generation, and when I sold one for some cash, I married my mother from a poor family.

Later, life got better and better, and my mother no longer wanted to live in this remote mountain village under the pressure of being doomed to be widowed, so she left home shortly after giving birth to me and never came back.

This is me, Zhao Changze, with a long life and good health, and a hundred years of blessings, but in the end it became a joke.

……

"Didi, Didi—"

The shrill sound of the horn pulled me back from my memory, and I subconsciously turned my head to look out the window, only to see a blur on the glass, and it was raining heavily outside, and the water distorted everything.

Looking at the car again, there are few people left, this is a bus that runs and goes, and the most remote village of my family is the end.

", can you still go!"

I straightened up, only to see the driver poking his head out of the window, waving his arms and cursing, and then looking at the front of the car, all kinds of trucks and tractors were blocked for dozens of meters, and a large yellow forklift in the distance was particularly eye-catching.

The driver retracted his head and was furious: "The front collapsed, a few of you, you can't go around the back, do you wait or get out of the car and go and watch it yourself." ”

I chuckled in my heart, I felt that my body was half cold, it was really a disaster, now it was a quarter past three, I still had less than two hours to get home at the normal speed, the summer night was short, no matter how I could see my father for the last time, but now even this wish has come to naught.

When people are cornered, they will have great courage, I really have nothing now, only a cheap life that can be lost at any time, what can stop me!

I got up and rushed to the front with a "whoosh": "Open the door, I want to get out of the car!" ”

The driver looked at me in surprise and opened the door: "Do you have any luggage?" ”

"Don't do it!"

I rushed into the rain and was drenched in an instant, the rain was heavier than it looked, but I was not afraid, it was already here, could it be that it could still come and kill me with lightning?

I ran forward with all my might, my head empty, the place where the collapse had been left far behind me, if I had been out of breath in normal times, now I was like a clockwork machine, tireless.

I don't know how I spent this journey, and when I saw the crowd around the door, I only felt that my legs were weak, and I fell to my knees with a "poof".

"Osawa?!"

I don't know who shouted, and the crowd split their way, and the village chief came out of it on crutches and looked at me with tears in his eyes.

"Poor baby, alas!"

In just an instant, I burst into tears, my face was full of tears, I didn't know if it was tears or rain, and two people quickly ran next to me, one holding an umbrella, and one came to help me, but I couldn't help me, I found that my legs were numb, and I didn't feel how to pinch and twist.

Another person came, and the two of them directly put me up and went to the house, and I looked straight at the village chief: "Where is my father?" ”

The village chief wiped away a handful of tears and turned his head to look at the house: "It's already poured oil, and I won't be able to see it after a while!" ”

Imagination and reality can never be compared, and when you see a living person lying cold in front of you, the shock can really make people dizzy.

The man holding me let go of his hand, and I fell to my knees again, my father's face was full of pain, his facial features were distorted and did not resemble a human form, and his originally full body was somehow thin like an old man of seventy or eighty years old.

The corners of his mouth, nose and eyes were all dried brown blood, and under him was a futon that I was familiar with, but now it was completely soaked in blood, as if the blood in his entire body had been drawn out in an instant.

I felt a throbbing pain in my heart, almost suffocating, I never thought that those few words of understatement "Seven Tricks Bleed" could be so terrifying, what my family had experienced, why there was such an evil blood curse!

"Daze, it's going to be dark soon......" The village chief's voice sounded behind him, cautiously.

"Let me look at him a few more times...... "My voice was so low that I could barely hear it.

The village chief sighed, and I held back my choked voice, and lifted the corner of my coat to wipe the blood from my father's face, and I wanted him to go clean.

Just as I was about to wipe his ear, I suddenly saw a strange red color on the back of his neck, and I was immediately stunned, and almost without thinking about it, I went to pull his collar.

"What is this?!"

I screamed, only to see a strange twisted symbol on the back of my father's neck, and more than half of it was hidden in his clothes.

The surrounding villagers invariably took two steps back, their eyes full of fear, and I tore off my father's clothes and turned him over.

I saw that my father's backbone was full of those twisted symbols, dense, like graphics, like words, extending from the back of the neck to the tail vertebrae, bright red and dazzling, narrow like a blood belt.

I reached out with a trembling hand and touched it, it was dry and smooth, and the symbols were inside the skin!

"Curse, curse!"

I don't know who shouted, and the whole room rushed out, and the house became empty in an instant.

I turned my head mechanically, only to see the village chief standing behind me, his face blushing.

"Uncle Zhang...... "My voice was frighteningly hoarse.

"Qiangzi, Dawei, you two let me in!" The village chief shouted loudly, these are his two sons.

Two middle-aged men walked into the house, their faces visibly reluctant, and they looked at me like a beast in a flood.

"Daze, the time has come, put on your father's clothes and let him go in peace!" The village chief's tone was pleading.

I glanced at my father and felt a tingle in my heart at the thought that he was about to turn to ashes, I didn't understand why the family had passed down the rule that they had to be cremated, they were already painful enough to die because of the blood curse, why couldn't they leave a whole corpse.

"Uncle Zhang......" I snorted, kneeling towards him, "don't burn my father, okay?" People are already dead, what other storms can be set off? My blood curse never stopped just burning the corpse. ”
