Yes!

I didn't know how I screamed anymore, and it wasn't until Brother Niu helped me up that I felt a little conscious.

Brother Niu kicked my broken kettle aside, twisted his eyebrows and asked me, "What's wrong?" ”

I pointed to something peeking out of the blanket with my teeth chattering, and I couldn't even squeeze out a word.

Brother Niu was startled, and he held my hand a lot harder, but he still said something that he didn't care about: "Which family killed the bird, why did it fall into your yard?" ”

I trembled all over, staring at the dead bird with a bright red head under Xia Xia's bright quilt and couldn't speak, how could there be a dead bird under Xia Xia's sheet?

Brother Niu searched the ground and asked me, "Is there any cloth that I don't need or something, I'll clean this thing out first - this sheet has a hole and is stained, can it still be used?" ”

I let go of the quilt in my hand and shook my head desperately.

Brother Niu said: "Then I directly wrapped this thing in this sheet and threw it out for you?" ”

I hugged myself and nodded.

Brother Niu wrapped the dead crow's body in a sheet and walked out, probably throwing it away, so that I would not be scared.

As soon as he left, the courtyard felt as if it was suddenly completely dark, how could there be dead birds under the sheet? Xia Xia didn't come back after she went out in the morning, and the sheets must have been clean when she dried the sheets, otherwise how could she have dried the sheets up? This bird definitely didn't fall from the sky, how could it get into the sheets? Brother Niu only saw that the sheet was broken through a big hole, thinking that the dead bird fell into the mouth, only I know that this hole was broken when I received the sheet just now, before this, there was no one at all!

Could it be that who put the dead bird under the sheet?

Why? Who is it? Why?

I'm so scared, I'm really scared, there's no in the hospital, why am I the only one left?

I leaned against the door and couldn't hold back my tears, full of grievances and didn't know who to talk to.

After crying for a while, there was suddenly a candlelight in the dim courtyard, and I looked towards the candlelight, and Brother Niu was standing in the corridor with a candle, looking at me expressionlessly.

Although it was Brother Niu, standing here silently like this still scared me, I quickly wiped the tears from my face, embarrassedly dodged his gaze, and smiled.

Brother Niu also smiled and said, "It's done outside, it's dark, I'll light a candle for you." He stiffly handed the candle straight to me.

I wiped the tears from the back of my hand to the corner of my clothes, took the lamp and candle and said, "I'm tired." ”

Brother Niu said: "It's a lot of work." You don't have to be afraid of the dead bird, I've encountered it several times, it's normal to get tired of flying and get lost and fall in the turn of the season, but it just happened to fall in your yard. ”

I nodded my head nonchalantly, not wanting to mention it again, how did he know it was strange?

Brother Niu said again: "The bell on your door—"

I explained, "It's a dumb bell, and it doesn't usually make a sound, but I want it to look good, so I hang it there." ”

Brother Niu said: "It's good, safe." I'll go first, goodbye. ”

I took the lamp and candle to give it to him, but he took a few steps back and said with a smile: "No, it's dark, let's stay in the courtyard." ”

I was stunned, it may be the first time to look at Brother Niu's eyes so seriously and so partially, why are his eyes so gentle and good-looking, as if he has hidden a lot of wisdom?

There have been a lot of iron pieces densely inserted in the courtyard wall, although Brother Niu has been instructed not to pick too sharp ones, but it is still a little scary to look at it so coldly.

Xia Xia Dada ran in from outside, running to the backyard with a sweaty face.

"What's wrong? What are you panicking about? ”

"I was left in the backyard and forgot to tell Sister Fei - hey, Sister Fei helped me collect it, so anxious that I ran back desperately." Xia Xia gasped and smiled gratefully.

I pinched the soft wax burning on the candle and said, "I collected it, but I didn't take it carefully when I collected it, and I blew it on the ground and made a big hole, so I took it and threw it away." ”

Xia Xia said: "What did you throw it away?" It's just a mouth, and it's good to make up for it. ”

I said, "It's old anyway, and you've been reluctant to change it, so I can only throw it away." There is a new one in the embroidery room, so you can pick one again. ”

Xia Xia was still distressed: "Then, there is no need to throw it in a hurry, you can wait until the New Year to change the new quilt." ”

I didn't want to mention this sheet again, so I stared at Xia Xia and said, "Say that you will change it for a new one, so much nonsense, go and pick it up, I will regret not giving you a new one later." ”

Xia Xia bowed playfully to me, and entered the embroidery room as soon as she smoked.

My fingers were covered in hot, soft wax, but I didn't feel anything......

In the middle of the night, I didn't dare to fall asleep, and I listened to the movement outside, for fear that there would be the sound of falling tiles again.

"It's not hot, it's a little stuffy, it's the second watch, wash and sleep." Han San's laughing voice sounded in the distant alley.

My heart was beating so fast that I didn't know what I was expecting, wishing he would go out into the yard and beg for a late-night snack or steal like he used to.

But he didn't, he left after reporting the shift, and didn't even go to the bottom of the alley.

Han Sanxiao, Song Lingjian, they are always on the same front, with me or not, it is the same for them.

Just after dawn, I walked out of the embroidery room dizzily, and the faint and fishy smell in the wind woke me up!

I ran to the compound and searched around until I looked up at the courtyard wall—

"Ahh My screams were louder than I could handle, like a horror story stretching from the brink of a nightmare in the misty morning.

"What's wrong? What's wrong, Sister Fei?! "Xia Xia ran out without wearing shoes.

I leaned against the wall with my legs limp, pointed to something on top of the courtyard wall, and leaned over and retched.

Xia Xia screamed: "Oh my God, what's going on?!" ”

Yesterday, Brother Niu just inserted a lot of iron pieces into the top of the courtyard wall, and now there are several dead birds, black and bloody, lined up on the top of the courtyard wall, looking down on us as if they were displaying corpses.

"Sister Fei, Sister Fei, are you okay?" Xia Xia was bold, but she was not frightened by the dead bird, but was frightened by my coughing incessantly, and quickly came over and patted me on the back.

I was already coughing bitterly, tears were full of tears, my chest was torn like it was being pulled by a thousand threads, and I was starting to breathe.

"Sister Fei, Sister Fei, you slowly, who came up with this bad idea, you actually dare to play a prank on the wall of our house!" Xia Xia gritted her teeth and said loudly, as if she was deliberately trying to demonstrate to the pranksters hiding in the depths.

I was about to hold back the blood in my mouth, and nodded quickly, "Water, water." ”

"I'll get it, I'll get it, you sit down." As soon as Xia Xia left, I coughed up a large mouthful of blood and poured it in my hand as distinctly as cinnabar.

I looked up at the row of dead birds on the courtyard wall in fear, and counted them, there were four of them, they didn't seem to have landed there by accident at all, Xia Xia could see at a glance, these few seemed to have been inserted by someone, so they stood so firm, and the wind couldn't blow down. The blood stains that had reached the walls had dried, and the air was filled with a faint, foul smell.

Whose prank is it? Why are you putting these things on my yard wall? Is it the "they" that Aunt Hong said?

Xia Xia broke me apart, and was so bold that she set up a ladder to climb the wall and clean up the dead birds. I could almost hear the sound of the flesh sticking to the iron as she pulled the bird's carcass out in the room, I didn't dare to hear it, I covered my ears, but the sound was almost already in my head, ringing over and over again.

"Sister Fei, don't be afraid, I'll pack up and go to the third brother and Sister Song, and let them give you your anger." Xia Xia hated outside.

I gritted my teeth and said, "No—I'll go myself, I'll go find them." ”

I walked down the street and my whole body was shaking. The basket contained the dead birds that Xia Xia had wrapped for me, and one that seemed to be a crow, and I could smell their death slowly creeping up my face from the basket handle along my sleeve......

My head was dizzy, and I felt nausea and coughing in my throat.

"Alas, Yan Fei, I was just about to look for you." Suddenly, Li Bottler popped out of the alley, as if he appeared out of thin air, which startled me a lot.

Li Bei'er looked at me with a smile and said, "What's the matter, scared you?" Just a little daring. ”

I suppressed my heartbeat and said, "No, no, I was thinking that something was wrong." ”

Li Bei'er said: "What do you want, don't be idle and tired with such a big basket?" - I'll help you—"

Seeing that Li Bei'er was coming to get my basket, I quickly changed my hand and put it behind me, and said, "Just some embroidery, it's not heavy, what are you looking for me?" ”

Li Bei'er gave me a strange look and said, "Isn't that Brother Niu, is the tip of the wall that pressed you yesterday?" He, this urgency, he didn't talk to you after pressing it, and he didn't remember to say hello to you when he went home, if he wasn't thirsty and asked me for water, I joked that Boss Yan didn't give a bowl of water to drink, so he remembered and forgot to tell you. ”

I didn't care about the happiness on Li Bei'er's face, grabbed her and said, "What did you say?" Brother Niu said that he didn't say hello to me when he went back yesterday? ”

Li Bei'er said: "That's right, get it and leave." It's really a boss, I don't understand this etiquette at all, and I don't ask if you're satisfied or not, the work is done, and the difference is not handed over, really. ”

No, yesterday Brother Niu obviously came in and talked to me, helped me deal with the dead birds, and lit the lamp for me before leaving, how could he say that he left without saying hello? Do you have to say goodbye to officially say hello?

I pulled Li Bei'er and said, "Did Brother Niu tell you about birds?" ”

Li Bei'er asked me, "What bird?" ”

"What time did Brother Niu leave yesterday?"

Li Bei'er thought for a while and said, "It's time when I get home, yes, when I first arrived, my meal was just hot." ”

My heart seems to sink to the cold bottom of the sea, and Brother Niu is obviously still in my courtyard to deal with the matter of dead birds for me, how can he go home?

"Are you sure it's 戌時?"

Li Bei'er said: "That's right, when Brother Niu comes back from the field, it will take a little time to get to you, and then lay down the tip of the wall or something, if you are sharp, it is almost this hour, is it possible, do you still want Brother Niu to sit more in your courtyard full of women?" She was obviously trying to laugh at me, but she laughed first.

Brother Niu - Brother Niu who returned home must be Li Bei'er's husband, that- who is Brother Niu who helped me clean up the bird corpse in the courtyard yesterday and left for me?

My cold hairs stood on end, and I ran away with a mouth of disgust.

"Hey! Ay! Why am I just kidding and getting angry?" Li Bei'er screamed loudly behind me, and her echo hung over the sky, like a ghost.
