Xia Xue shuddered suddenly, this time, this environment, talking about ghosts, as long as it is a normal person, it is estimated that he will feel a chill in his back. Of course, this does not mean that people really believe in the existence of ghosts, but rather out of an instinctive reaction, the most basic human instinct, the fear of the unknown. It's like when you walk out into the grass and someone tells you, do you think there's a snake here? Then I believe that the rest of the way, you will start to worry.

"Maybe!" Xia Xue subconsciously replied, in fact, she originally wanted to say that she didn't believe it, but in the current situation, the word "don't believe" is too difficult to say.

"And if I say I've seen it, would you believe it?" Yang Song asked.

Xia Xue felt a chill crawling up her back again, she pulled down her shirt, forced a laugh, and said, "Senior, you deliberately scared me, right?" ”

"It's not!" Yang Song shook his head.

That year, Makihara was five years old and he was eight years old. Summer. Night.

At the edge of a pond not far from the village, there was a burst of frogs, and two children in small trousers, each holding a small flashlight, walked around the trees one after the other, and from time to time let out a happy cry. This is the favorite game of rural children on summer evenings - catching monkeys.

Knowing the monkey, in some places it is also called the turtle, which is the larva of the cicada.

"Ono, how many did you catch?"

"Brother Komatsu, I've caught seven, what about you?"

"Five! Hehe, the sixth! ”

In the countryside, there are many ways to catch adults, such as dough sticking, net covers, etc., and even lighting a bonfire under a tree at night and shaking the trunk, all of which will fly into the bonfire. The only way to catch a monkey is to look for it under the tree. The golden cicada has the characteristics of high protein and high nutrition, and is a traditional medicinal diet, and some restaurants on the edge of the village buy this. Because Tang Sanzang in "Journey to the West" is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of Sakyamuni, some people also jokingly call cicada meat Tang monk meat, saying that eating it can lead to immortality. At night, children go to ponds, ditches, and other places where there are many trees, and when they go home, they wash them in clean water and soak them in salt water to prevent them from deteriorating or deteriorating, and then sell them to the restaurant they bought the next day.

It took nearly an hour for Komakihara and Ko Poplar to inspect nearly 100 trees around the pond, and the two of them harvested a lot, caught nearly 20 monkeys, and took these to the restaurant to sell, a dime each, which can be exchanged for nearly two yuan.

"Ono, let's change places!" Yang Song said.

"Okay!" After Makihara finished inspecting the last tree, he tied his small pockets tightly and hung them around his waist.

Just as the two of them were about to go to the next location, a slight cold wind blew from afar, and for a while, Yang Song suddenly found that the sweat on his body suddenly became cold. He looked around, but didn't find anything unusual, and when he was about to reach out to pull Muyuan, he suddenly realized something. Just after that breeze blew, it suddenly became quiet in all directions.

The cries of cicadas, frogs, and crickets were all gone.

"Ono, let's go!" Yang Song said tremblingly, but he didn't hear Muyuan's response, so he called out again, "Ono! ”

There was still no response from Mu Yuan, Yang Song shone Mu Yuan with the flashlight in his hand, but found that he was just looking ahead blankly. Yang Song followed Mu Yuan's gaze and saw two people walking far away on the path next to the woods. An old lady leading a little girl. The old lady walked very slowly, but the speed was unusually fast, and it seemed that in a few steps, she was in front of Yang Song and Mu Yuan.

"Grandma Sun?" Jansson recognized the old man.

It was Grandma Sun who lived in the village, and it was her granddaughter Yaoyao who was holding her in her hand. Sun Dagui and his daughter-in-law work outside all the year round, and can only come back once every two or three months, and every time they come back, they have to rush back to work after leaving some money and Yaoyao's clothes for their mother who is over 70 years old.

"Grandma Sun, where are you going?" Yang Song asked timidly, on weekdays, this grandmother-in-law's temper is a little weird, and many people dare not provoke it.

At this moment, Mu Yuan walked up, and his small body blocked Grandma Sun's way. Yang Song wanted to stop it, but Granny Sun had already led Yaoyao to meet her, and strangely passed through Mu Yuan's body, and Mu Yuan immediately collapsed on the ground with a languishing. "Poof", Yang Song sat on the ground in fright, he trembled and raised a flashlight to shine at Mu Yuan, at this time, what he was most afraid of was that Mu Yuan had an accident. Makihara on the ground closed his eyes tightly, as if he had fainted, but his fingers were trembling slightly.

"Ono! Ono! Yang Song's tears flowed down at once, and he kept crying Mu Yuan's name, he was just an eight-year-old child, and the scene in front of him was too weird, he was already six gods and no master.

It seemed that he heard Yang Song's shout, and Mu Yuan, who was lying on the ground, opened his eyes suddenly, but it was these eyes that made Yang Song stop crying, and he almost fainted in fright. It was actually a pair of eyes without the whites of the eyes, pitch black, even under the illumination of a flashlight, without a trace of reflection, like two bottomless pits, which could devour everything. Just as Mu Yuan opened his eyes, Grandma Sun's footsteps suddenly stopped, she turned around, and looked at Mu Yuan lying on the ground with a shocked expression. Mu Yuan slowly got up from the ground, and didn't care about dusting off his body, stretched out a small hand, and pointed at Grandma Sun with her index finger, as if she had been hit by a huge impact, she let go of Yaoyao's hand and took a few steps back.

"Granny Sun, you can't take Sister Yaoyao away!" Makihara's immature voice came, but without a trace of emotion.

Grandma Sun looked at Yaoyao for a long time, nodded, and her body began to slowly fade, fade, until it disappeared.

"Brother Xiaosong, I can't catch the monkey with you anymore, I want to send Sister Yaoyao home!" Mu Yuan walked towards Yaoyao, and did not forget to turn around and say a word to Yang Song.

……

"And then?" After a moment of silence, Xia Xue asked.

"Later, my grandmother chased me to Makihara's house and asked me about my whereabouts, and then found me asleep under a tree by the pond!" Yang Song said with a smile.

"Dreams? Senior, you're telling me a story! Xia Xue was stunned for a moment, and then became a little annoyed.

"What do you think? Do you think I'm telling the truth? Yang Song smiled and smiled happily, "Okay, we should go back, otherwise the dormitory building should be closed, you don't want to sleep on campus!" ”

Xia Xue nodded, she also felt tired, from the student union in the morning, to the onlookers at the criminal investigation scene in the afternoon, and watched a wonderful magic duel in the evening.

The two men were silent all the way, and neither of them spoke again.

"Senior!" When they were about to break up, Xia Xue suddenly stopped Yang Song.

"What else? My eldest lady! Yang Song teased helplessly.

"That night, Granny Sun died, didn't she?" Xia Xue asked.

Yang Song was stunned for a moment, but did not answer.

"Senior, thank you for the story, good night!" Xia Xue smiled, turned around and walked towards the dormitory building.

"Xia Xue!" Jansson shouted, "Remember what I said before the story!" ”

"Yes!" Xia Xue didn't look back, she shook her hand, and said goodbye.

Walking into the dormitory building, at the moment of turning, Xia Xue suddenly leaned against the wall, her feet trembled, and she slowly sat down on the steps. She didn't know if Yang Song was telling her a supernatural story to scare her, but she really began to believe it. But if all this is true, wouldn't her worldview completely collapse?

What kind of monster are you?
