Chapter Twenty-Four: The Horror of the Path

The story is nothing more than a woman who married outside, who died unexplained in her mother-in-law's house, and her mother's clan went to her mother-in-law's house to discuss the law.

This kind of big thing as beating people doesn't mean that you can go if you want to. The people of small families can only shed tears in their stomachs after suffering this kind of grievance, and the children of large families naturally want to be right or wrong for the sake of face.

When this kind of thing happens, the cause of the accident is generally not asked. As long as the man does not take the initiative to stand up and coordinate with his mother's family, or satisfy his mother's family, and the mother's family happens to have some attitude, then the beating will inevitably happen.

The Tang family was not a small household in the vicinity at the beginning, and it was a surname with a head and a face in ten miles and eight townships. The matter of the woman who married outside the country is naturally getting bigger and bigger. Under the arrangement of the clan elders and the cooperation of the young and middle-aged people, they were stunned and made a fuss in the other family.

I didn't pay much attention to listening to this kind of story without a name. Of course, another important reason is because my uncle didn't answer me accurately how to go back.

At that time, I didn't know if it was because of timidity, so I didn't dare to ask my uncle a second time. Even though I was there, I was actually scared of going home. After all, they just talked about Renfeng, and Renfeng's family died of medicine, and in the township, they just met a pesticide ghost.

Not to mention the ethereal ghost that no one has ever seen, it is this matter of drinking pesticides, which is too lethal for children. An ordinary person has been living a good life, and suddenly he drank medicine and died. According to the villagers, what is it if you don't encounter a ghost?

I seem to be very afraid of hearing people talk about this kind of thing, and I wonder if I have been particularly insecure since I was a child. The reason why I was scared was because of drinking pesticides, and secondly, because I had seen that woman before.

Because I know that person, it is always as if I see that person dangling in front of me. In fact, at this time, even though the movie was still playing, I felt that the dark places around me were terrifying everywhere.

It seems that somehow, a terrifying situation will suddenly appear, and a ghost will pop out of the dark place. I felt creepy, a little chilly in my back, and a weak heart. Even Xiaohua stood beside me, and I didn't feel safe in the screening room and adults.

I don't even know when I've watched the movie, even though I still have the images from the movie in my head. But it seems that my uncle also asked me something, and I didn't seem to answer, but Xiaohua took me downstairs.

Xiaohua didn't know why, he seemed to be in a hurry to go back, and I later thought that he might have expected it, and he would be scolded by his mother when he went home. Although I felt weak in my heart and a little annoyed that he was not with me, I did not say it.

Seeing the people pouring out of the movie theater one after another, I saw that Xiaohua was a little impatient, so I seemed to come back to my senses and asked him if he dared to go back alone? He was like a stunned young man, and he actually said what he was afraid of at such a close distance.

I saw that he was leaving, and I don't know why he suddenly became more courageous, after all, because there were more people outside. He saw that someone seemed to be about to walk down the path from which we came, and wanted to follow him, but I opened my mouth but did not stop him.

Even though the big light bulb at the entrance of the movie theater was bright, I was a little apprehensive when I stood aside, after all, I didn't see anyone in the compound, as if the Niu brothers and sisters were missing. I felt a little weaker, and I looked at the dangling figure as if something was about to pounce on me.

Xiaohua knew that I was timid, and before leaving, he actually asked me if I wanted to wait for my uncle to go back together. I saw that his eyes were a little anxious, and I knew that he was afraid that those people would go away, so I said that it was okay, but urged him to hurry up and follow those people.

I actually suddenly thought of the Niu brothers and sisters, because even if I hadn't seen them come out yet, I thought it was me and Xiaohua who went downstairs too early. Seeing that Xiaohua seemed to be a little hesitant, he said that he would not wait for them to leave together.

Who knew that Xiaohua had actually wanted to leave a long time ago, seeing me say this, I didn't know which tendon was wrong, and actually said that I would wait for them alone, and he would follow those people first. I watched without a squeak as he ran away, seemingly disappearing quickly.

I could have followed those people with Xiaohua, but I didn't go with them. First, I couldn't walk as fast as him, and second, I didn't feel safe looking at him, so I actually stood where I was and didn't walk with him.

After a while, I still didn't see Niu Yongzhen, and I was a little anxious. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I seemed to see someone waving to me, and when I looked over, it seemed that the person was standing by the iron gate between the movie theater and the rice milling room.

I looked at it with some surprise, but I didn't have the slightest thought in my heart, thinking that someone knew me, and even thought it was Niu Yongzhen. Because that person was standing by the small door, and there were people at the small door who kept going out, because when the scene ended, the door on this side was also open.

When I couldn't help but walk over, I thought that there was no one by the iron gate. I thought I was dazzled, and I looked around, but I saw that the door of the supply and marketing cooperatives was still open, and it seemed that my destiny was standing at the door.

I was stunned, I remembered that I saw a person, how could there be no one, but when I looked around, I really didn't find anyone who could greet me. I was amazed to see fewer people coming out of the cinema.

Just when I was anxious and a little uncomfortable, I actually saw a few Niu Yongzhen. But it's him, Jiuyuan, and the two sisters Peony and Rose. I was surprised, even if I was no longer sensible, I saw that Niu Yongzhen and Jiuyuan didn't greet me, and I knew that I couldn't follow them.

But to my surprise, when the rose looked at me, she actually smiled slightly. It made my face flush inexplicably, but I don't think anyone would see it this night. And I bowed my head slightly, and by the time I looked up, they had gone a long way.

I was struggling with whether to follow them, and when I saw them walk into the supply and marketing cooperative, I didn't follow them immediately. It was at this time that I saw a few Yonghui.

Yonghui didn't seem surprised to see me, and when she walked up to me and looked at me, she just said in a low voice: "Let's go!" Let's go back! ”

It's all so natural, as if it's normal for me to wait for them here. I felt a pang of relief in my heart, an inexplicable cordiality, as if the fear I had just had vanished, and I nodded violently in response to her.

Although she does not live in the compound, she is also very close to the compound, and the side of the big locust tree is only 200 meters to the compound. Often, when I was with them, Yonghui would notice me, and according to the family, it was because of her grandmother and my grandmother.

Even if her home is some distance away from the compound, if she doesn't send me over, let alone the two Huayuan sisters! Although they are neighbors with Huayuan, they treat people very well, but they seem to be a little worse than Yonghui.

Being able to follow them made me feel at ease, and I naturally kept quiet.

No one cares what I'm doing or what's going on in my mind, I was just a kid in their eyes. Even years later, when I look back on that situation and feel that I am sensible, who would think about you like this!

Seeing that Yonghui and the girls were happy, they kept chattering, and they seemed to be still stuck in the plot. They were chatting excitedly about the movie just now, and they were talking about the song that was good.

Although everyone is out of the cinema, and some people are starting to leave here, the lights in front of the cinema have not been extinguished, the loudspeaker is still ringing, and the theme song of the movie is still singing.

So some young people are still wandering, at this time they are not looking forward to anything, or they have some ideas in their hearts, and they are just thinking about it, because this era is a relatively simple era.

Not only did everyone not leave, but they also stood in different positions, humming along with the loudspeakers.

Yonghui doesn't know if she thinks the same way, I don't know. But when I saw Niu Yongzhen and the four of them coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, they didn't follow, I was a little surprised. Although I vaguely know something in my heart, I don't think too much.

The moon was like a sickle, and in the dark night, torches and flashlights lit up. With the song I just learned, rippling on the country road.

I knew that there was some sadness, our group didn't have flashlights, and the only two flashlights were taken away by Niu Yongzhen and Jiuyuan. If it weren't for the faintly visible stone slabs and the somewhat shiny water in the fields, I guess we would have been black.

I don't know if these girls are afraid or not, but I heard them chatting all the way, and I almost dragged Yonghui's clothes, not daring to walk at the end.

The frogs in the field chirped and laughed, and the journey went smoothly.

Hua Yuan speculated that his brother and Niu Yongzhen were going to send Peony and Rose back. Naturally, they talked about the peony's skirt, and they were very envious when they heard their tone, and they discussed going to September to see if they could also buy a piece of cloth to make it.

Niu Yongshan didn't know how to do it, but he didn't go with him to send peonies and roses, he and Wuyuan walked in front of the team. Behind me was Hua Yuan, who was almost ear high, and she still treated me like a child.

Everyone walked very slowly, not because there were no flashlights, because summer is coming, and what we are most afraid of is the appearance of snakes on the road.

Because of them, I don't have to worry about snakes coming out. At first, I kept tugging at the hem of Yonghui's clothes, and she probably felt that it was difficult to walk, so she put her right hand on my shoulder and walked side by side with me.

At this time, no one in the countryside would use perfume, but the fragrance of the girl made me feel very comfortable. I instinctively grabbed her tightly with my left hand, and the two of us were very close to each other, even though I was still young, I felt very close.

We were walking on the path on the lotus pond, and the stone path should be very safe, but suddenly we heard a scream from Hua Yuan's sister, which scared everyone almost at the same time.

Yonghui hugged me tightly, and I felt her body tremble,
