Chapter 44: The East Overhead
Hearing the knock on the door, and the barking of the dog, I just felt a chill in my heart. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test
It's too similar, it's too similar to what happened in the village before, at that time, when the dirty thing knocked on the door, my sunspot called it that.
The knock on the door outside was still ringing, and there was some vague conversation, the voice of an ordinary person.
But the barking of the dogs continued, and the village had begun to hear the sound of the door opening, which was different from the previous village.
This is where the Imperial Master brought me, so nothing should happen, right?
But who's out there?
I didn't say anything, I didn't go out, I just sat on the bed and waited.
After a while, a neighbor's angry voice came from outside the door: "What are you knocking on in the middle of the night?" Don't let people sleep? “
Then he heard the sound of his dog scolding, and the dog barking outside was quieter, and I heard two unfamiliar voices, saying something outside, as if apologizing to the neighbor.
After talking for a while, the neighbor who was woken up muttered a few words, and then closed the door.
Then I heard someone outside the door shouting my name.
"Are Mianmian at home?"
I was stunned for a moment, they even knew my name?
Also, their voices are normal, and the reaction of the neighbors just now should be normal.
It's just that II.II. came out in the middle of the night, what the hell is going on?
What do they want to do?
Although they weren't ghosts, I was a little wary and didn't open the door easily.
After shouting a few times outside, I heard a low voice, and wondered, "That person told me to be here, isn't he at home tonight?"
There was something else to say, but because the dog was still barking from time to time outside, I couldn't hear it clearly.
When I heard this, my heart trembled. I didn't know what was going on in my head, so I got out of bed and quietly walked towards the door.
I want to hear what they're trying to do.
I came to a stop when I was some distance from the door.
"Maybe I'm asleep so late, let's come back tomorrow." It was a man's voice.
"But it's so late, where are we going? I knew that I would have listened to that person, and I would come again tomorrow, you have to come today, and now I can't get in, it's so dark outside at night, and there's no place to live, see what to do. "It's a woman's voice.
"Hey. Don't I want to see my daughter, I don't have a daughter, I finally have one, but I don't want to take a good look? The man sighed.
"At this time, do you think of your daughter? Why didn't you talk about your daughter before?" The woman said coldly.
Listening to what they said, I was a little stunned.
Daughter II.II.
Are they here for their daughter? But just now they know my name, and the person they are talking about is not the Imperial Commander?
Could it be that this is the person who the Imperial Secretary ordered for me?
Thinking so, I walked to the door, and they seemed to hear the sound too, and suddenly fell silent.
After a few seconds, the woman's voice sounded cautiously outside the door: "Is it Mianmian?"
"Who are you?" I asked.
"We were ordered by the II.II. Imperial Division." The woman said.
The order of the imperial division, it is indeed the order of the imperial division.
Before, in the village, no one could see the Imperial Commander, and those who knew his name were only with my grandfather, and now they also know, it is estimated that the Imperial Commander told them.
I hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Did he let you come to me?"
"Well, he said let's take care of you." The woman's voice outside, not knowing what was going on, trembled a little.
When I heard this, I was 100% sure. They are the people of the mouth of the Imperial Priest.
It's just that the Imperial Master said that they would come tomorrow, but I didn't expect to come tonight.
Combined with their previous conversation, they should be eager to come over, so it was ahead of schedule.
With that in mind, I walked over and opened the door.
There were two people, a man and a woman, standing outside, dressed cleanly, and when they saw me, their faces were full of surprise, but the surprise gesture meant that they seemed to be a little nervous.
Because the entrance is too dark, some people can't see clearly.
"It's so late. You should be asleep, mainly because he really wants to come over, I'm sorry. The woman said embarrassedly.
"Oh, he's got it for me, so come in." Thinking that I will have to live with them in the future, I am also a little uncomfortable, especially awkward.
But I know that it's much better to have adults to take care of me than to live on my own.
I want to grow up and be sensible quickly, and strive to do everything by myself, including the cemetery left to me by my grandfather, I can do these things by myself, that's good.
When I got to the house, when I saw the woman's appearance, I shook my head slightly, this woman II.II. facial features are somewhat familiar, and the man is faintly a little familiar.
When they saw me, they were also stunned, and stood for a while, the woman's body trembled slightly, and there were some tears in her eyes.
"Stretch II.II."
The woman shouted and stopped talking, and the man just pulled the woman and stopped talking.
"Let's go rest first, I'm a little tired when I come today, I'll make something to eat for you tomorrow morning." As she spoke, the woman and the man quickly left the house and went to another room.
Looking at their reaction, I was a little puzzled.
Just as they were leaving the house, I suddenly saw a vague black mist on them.
The black mist followed them, but I didn't see anything dirty, and I felt a little uneasy, but I still didn't know them at all, so I didn't tell them, and kept an eye on them.
I'm going to start a new life tomorrow, I close the door and lie down in bed and can't sleep again.
The sound of them talking in the other room buzzed into my ears, probably because I was afraid that I deliberately lowered my voice, and I didn't hear what they were saying, but I wasn't so curious.
It's just that there is always an inexplicable familiarity in those two people, as if I have seen them, but I can't remember where I have seen them.
Forget it, since it was arranged for me by the Imperial Priest's order, there shouldn't be any problem.
The sound in the next room faded away, and soon calm returned. Everything was quiet, and the barking of dogs in the village was gone.
They should be asleep, right?
I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning in bed, so I took what my grandfather had left me and hugged it tightly in my arms.
Now I really want to read and write, to see what my grandfather left me, and to see what was written in that old book.
In the past, all the friends in the village went to school, and they were literate in school every day, and I wanted to go too, but seeing their painful faces every time they came back from school, I was a little curious, what is in the school?
My grandfather said he would send me to school when I was older. I just didn't expect it, but I didn't wait for that day when my grandfather was gone, II.II.
The money my grandfather left me was enough to get me through high school, would the two of them send me to school?
Just as I was thinking about getting hooked, there was a creaking sound at the door.
I immediately came to my senses and turned to look towards the door.
Directly the door had been closed, but I don't know what was going on, but now a crack was opened, and the yard was dark, and I couldn't see anything.
My heart is tight, could it be that something has come in?
I looked nervously at the door, but after waiting for a while and not waiting for anything dirty, a gust of night wind blew, and I shivered coldly.
It turned out to be Wind II.II.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and when I got out of bed, I closed the door and locked it again, before turning around and going back to bed.
After a sleepless night, it was soon dawn, and I smelled the smell of food as soon as I arrived in the morning.
Thinking about it, it seemed like I hadn't eaten in a long time, and the smell of food wafted in, and my stomach suddenly gurgled.
Just as I was thinking about whether to go out, there was a knock on the door, and a woman's enthusiastic voice came from outside: "Mianmian has eaten, breakfast is ready." “
It's still a little awkward to call your name out of a stranger's mouth.
But after all, I didn't beat the smell of the food, so I cleaned up and walked out.
The meals are very simple. A plate of freshly marinated and refreshing side dishes, plus two stir-fries.
There was a bowl of porridge in front of each of them, and on the other empty seat, the porridge was already served and hung aside, and a poached egg was placed next to the bowl.
Seeing me come out, the woman immediately smiled and said, "Come over and eat, the meal is just right, you must finish eating the poached eggs, it is for you to replenish your body." “
Seeing them like this, I was in a trance.
I haven't heard these words for a long time, but my grandfather told me these things when he was there, and I didn't hear him say that, and my nose suddenly felt a little sour.
But I didn't want them to see me, so I pretended to be uncomfortable with my eyes, rubbed my eyes, and then sat down at the dining table, bowed my head and began to drink porridge.
The food tasted good, but I didn't think it was as delicious as my grandfather's cooking.
After eating for a while, the woman suddenly said: "Mianmian, don't always drink porridge, there are vegetables, you are growing your body, you want to eat more of this, you taste it, if you like to eat, I will make it for you at noon, if you don't like it, it doesn't matter, I will cook a lot of dishes, one by one for you to eat, you taste which one you like to eat, you will make more for you in the future." “
It's okay not to speak, but when I speak, I feel very awkward, and in the past, no one in the village except for my grandfather has been so kind to me.
It seems to see my embarrassment. The woman put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "Mianmian, don't be embarrassed, we were invited by that person, he gave us money, thank you is what we should do, if you don't adapt, we won't eat on the table in the future." “
As he spoke, he was going to go somewhere else with the bowl, but when I heard them say this, I was a little stunned and hurriedly waved my hand: "No, that's not what I meant." “
I bit my lip and looked at them.
They were looking at me with a hint of expectation in their eyes.
"I like it, I'm just thinking, when can I go to school, I want to read."
The man and the woman glanced at each other, and the woman immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, since he asked us to take care of you, we have already thought about this matter, and we don't have children, we can take care of you wholeheartedly, and wait until ten days later, this summer vacation will be over." You'll be able to go to school just like any other child. “
Ten Days LaterII.II.
I said something to them again, and they asked me to call them Aunt Zhang, Uncle Zhang.
I couldn't help but wonder if my parents would have been like this if they hadn't lost me.
Mom and Dad, what do they look like II.II.?
Grandpa is very good to me, but sometimes when I see other friends with my parents around, it is a lie to say that I am not envious.
But soon, I threw this idea away, and the parents who could throw me away must be very bad, they have made up their minds to throw me away, and I will not think about them anymore.
After talking for a while. They seemed much happier, and I quickly finished my meal and prepared to go to the cemetery.
It was the beginning of the nightmare, but the words that the goatee master said before also made me feel a little uneasy, and the imperial priest said that he gave me the yin and yang eyes, as long as I saw something, I just walked away, I was careful, nothing should happen.
Just as I got up, I suddenly noticed that behind Aunt Zhang's Uncle Zhang, there was a black mist again.
I couldn't help but stare at them for a while. I always think it's strange, what are these black mist? I saw it yesterday.
How can there be a black mist on a normal person's body?
Could it be that I have yin and yang eyes?
Seeing me look at them, the woman touched her face: "What's wrong?" Is there something on Aunt Zhang's face? “
I shook my head, didn't speak, turned around and ran into the house.
Now that I don't understand what I'm seeing, I won't say anything, so as not to cause panic, and I'm going to wait for the priest to come back, and I'll ask him again.
When I got back to the house, I hid what my grandfather had left for me and went out with the key. Ran straight towards the cemetery.
As soon as I went out, I felt a lot more relaxed, probably because I hadn't gotten used to living with strangers.
It's just that I always feel that they are a little strange, and if it is true that the Imperial Master gave them money to take care of me, they would be too enthusiastic, right? When you open and close your mouth, you call me Mianmian, as if you knew me before.
and the faintly familiar facial features, which make me feel very bad.
But I didn't think about it for long, the most important thing now is the cemetery.
Originally, this was not far from the village where I used to be, and the cemetery was not far away, so I ran for about 20 minutes before I saw the gate of the cemetery.
The gate of the cemetery is still locked, and the inside is clean, probably because the goatee master had asked someone to clean it before.
When I came here again, I felt a little scared, and the cold feeling peculiar to the cemetery gave me goosebumps.
Now I wanted to turn around and run, but I gritted my teeth and endured.
I looked around, but I didn't see anyone or dirty, so I relaxed a little.
Through the gate of the cemetery, I saw a few fallen leaves in front of some tombstones, yesterday the goatee master was stunned by the imperial order, today should not find someone to come, right?
I waited for a while, but no one came.
Time passed little by little, a little sweat oozed from his forehead, and the big sun dispelled some of the coldness.
Grandpa came every day when he was there, I forgot before, fortunately there was a goatee master who found someone, but now there should be none, I should have come by myself, I always have to learn.
I took out a small broom that I hadn't touched for a long time from the small room that my grandfather had built next to the cemetery, and a spare key under a brick next to the door.
After the door of the cemetery opened, I looked around, took a few deep breaths, cheered myself up, and quickly began to clean the cemetery.
I didn't dare to stop for a moment, and I didn't dare to wipe the sweat on my body like rain, and I cleaned the things in front of the tombstones as quickly as I could.
After the whole cemetery was cleaned, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and after the door of the cemetery was locked, I sat on the ground.
Looking at the bright sun overhead, I wiped the beads of sweat from my forehead.
Fortunately, I didn't encounter that strange grave again, and I didn't dare to stay in the cemetery for long, so I put my things away after a while, and then left the cemetery.
On the way back, I felt a little relaxed, the work of guarding the cemetery did not seem to be so difficult, and I don't know why my grandfather was so nervous before.
Grandpa II.II.
I thought of my grandfather again, and my heart suddenly became dull.
I bowed my head and went back to the place that the priest had arranged for me, and on the way I met some people, but strangely enough, a few of them also had black mist on them, but very little, almost negligible.
I watched as I walked back. Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang were both there, and when they saw me coming back so late, Aunt Zhang hurriedly said, "Where have you been?" Hungry or not? I'll keep it for you for lunch, the dish is a little cold, I'll give you a hot one. “
I looked at the black mist behind her, still so obvious in the sunlight, as if it had a black umbrella. She was almost hidden, and I couldn't even see her face clearly, it seemed to be heavier than when I went out in the morning.
I'm a little curious, doesn't the black fog affect my vision in front of me? Or did she not feel it at all?
I looked at it for a while, and finally I couldn't help but ask, "Well, can you see things clearly now?" “
Hearing me ask, Aunt Zhang was stunned, and seemed to be a little confused: "Mianmian, why do you ask that?" I have good eyes, I can see everything clearly. You don't have to worry about what I've messed up, you Aunt Zhang can do it! “
"Are you well, you're not feeling well?" I asked.
Aunt Zhang looked strange, and shook her legs and arms: "No, what's wrong with you, if you have anything to say, just say it." “
I shook my head: "It's nothing, I'll go to dinner in a while." “
After saying that, I turned my head and walked towards the house, it was obvious that Aunt Zhang couldn't see the black fog on her body, and so did Uncle Zhang.
Now I've determined that it's the cause of the yin and yang eyes, but what is that black fog?
More and more black fog, more and more, what will happen if they are completely hidden?
They couldn't see the black fog on themselves, but I could see that I wouldn't recognize them if it really hid them.
It seems that there is time to ask what is going on with the Imperial Priest.
When I first entered the door of my house. Suddenly something felt wrong.
In the room, there was some very strange feeling, some shade, as if someone had been there.
With a chuckle in my heart, I looked around, but I found no sign of anyone coming.
I hurried to the place where I was hiding something, and the thing was there, and there was no place to move, and I was immediately relieved.
But then I frowned, there must have been other people in this room.
Is it Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang?
I put my things away and walked out.
Uncle Zhang went back to the house to rest, Aunt Zhang gave me hot food in the kitchen, I walked behind Aunt Zhang and shouted, "Aunt Zhang." “
Hear my voice. Aunt Zhang paused for a moment, then turned to look at me: "Mianmian, are you hungry?" The meal was good, and I made two different dishes II.II."
"Aunt Zhang, has anyone ever entered my house?" I asked straight to the point.
"No one has entered your house, Aunt Zhang has been at home all the time, and I haven't seen anyone enter." Aunt Zhang said with a blank face.
But then he seemed to remember something, and said, "By the way, Mianmian, do you have any small animals?" After you went out, there was a sound in the house, but without your consent, you and Uncle Zhang didn't dare to go in, this little animal, you can't keep it in the house, you're still young, it's not good if you accidentally get sick by those beasts. “
When I heard this, my eyelids jumped.
Voices in the house? But I don't remember what's in the house, not even rats, where is the sound?
The room was neatly organized just now, and if the sound of the small animals came out, how could I not have noticed it?
"Mianmian?" Aunt Zhang couldn't help but ask when she saw that I didn't speak.
"Ah, I know Aunt Zhang. Thank you. “
With that, I ran into the house.
This time, as soon as I entered, I felt a strong feeling of being watched, and my scalp was a little numb, which I was not a stranger to, could it be that something dirty came out?
My heart beat a few times.
I looked around, not even the drawers, but I couldn't find anything dirty, or any small animals.
But the feeling of staring faded, not so strong.
How can I not find something?
Could it be that Aunt Zhang lied to me? But that feeling just now wasn't fake.
I had a headache and a vague feeling that something was wrong, as if I had overlooked something very important.
The day passed quickly, and the night soon came.
I sat in bed at night, and that feeling was always around me, but I searched for a day and couldn't find it, and nothing happened for a day.
Could it be that I'm too sensitive?
I took a deep breath, turned off the light and lay down on the bed.
"Squeak II.II."
As soon as I got into bed, I heard a tooth-aching sound that rang out in the room.
When I heard this voice, my heart was shocked, and then my mind suddenly cleared up.
The feeling of being watched came again, this time more ferocious and intense, mixed with a hint of coldness.
"Squeak II.II."
A strange sound sounded again, this time very close to meII.II.
It was at this point that I suddenly remembered what I had overlooked.
It's the roof!
I searched the whole house, but I forgot to find the roof!
If it's really dirty, it's not impossible to be on the roof!
The "creaking" sound kept coming, and it really came from the top of my head.
What's on the top of the head II.II.
I stiffened my neck and slowly turned my head towards the roof to look over II.II.
