Chapter 24: The Wailing Wall

Just after the New Year, it had just snowed in the south, and it was still cold, Zhang Tao took Zhang Long back to his hometown in the countryside to visit relatives. In the countryside, the New Year's pig was killed, and every household was full of New Year's flavor, which was Zhang Long's uncle's house, and their uncle and aunt set up a table of rich peasant dishes in the yard to welcome Zhang Tao and Zhang Long's arrival.

"Uncle, why didn't Brother Liu Shuang come back?" As soon as Zhang Long got home, he wanted to play with his cousin.

"He! It's back! Liu Qiang pointed to the hillside behind him, "Isn't this house ready to ask for a daughter-in-law!" I'm going to get married before the Lantern Festival, and I'm tidying up and cleaning up the new house! ”

"Oh, is it? Then I'll have to go check it out! Help by the way! With that, Zhang Long walked along the path to the back hillside.

"Brother Shuang, long time no see!" Zhang Long shouted.

"Hey! Zhang Long, are you back? How long do you plan to stay? Liu Shuang was busy with the final cleaning in the room.

"I guess I'll have to go back to school before the Lantern Festival!" Zhang Long walked into the room and saw Liu Shuang tidying up the new house.

"Take two days off from school, the thirteenth brother of the first month is going to get married, and I plan to let you be the best man!"

"I'm afraid I can't, the school starts on the 14th of the first month, and the next semester has new courses such as clinical pathology, I have to go back to prepare for my homework in advance!"

"Don't you really want to stay longer?" Liu Shuang was a little unhappy, "I heard that your university only needs to ensure that you don't fail the exam, why are you working so hard?" You're only a freshman! ”

"Hey, didn't my sister-in-law come over?"

"Your sister-in-law only came to the door the day after tomorrow, and she is still at her parents' house! You can't wait for that time, I see you, I care about your sister-in-law, and I don't think about my brother at all! ”

"Where do I have?"

Liu Shuang stopped what he was doing and took Zhang Long to the top of the back mountain, "Zhang Long, do you remember when we were children, we went to the sugarcane field over there to dig a bird's nest, but a bamboo leaf green came out of the sugarcane, which scared you to cry?" ”

"Yes! Think about how young we were at that time, and in a blink of an eye you were going to get married, and my other half didn't know where it was! ”

"You're just a freshman, why are you in a hurry? It's a pity that you don't stay longer to accompany your brother for a few days, hey! ”

"Hey, I'll come back to you for the summer vacation!" Zhang Long picked up a stone from the ground and made a splash towards the pond in the distance, and the stone jumped five or six times in a row on the surface of the water.

"Zhang Long, the new house has been cleaned up, why don't you stay here with me tonight and talk to my brother for a while?"

Zhang Long promised Liu Shuang to live in the new house where he got married tonight.

"Zhang Long, I have just cleaned up this house, and I will live on the first day today! Hehe, it's just the first day of our brothers. Liu Shuang took Zhang Long to the second floor, "By the way, Zhang Long, how has my aunt recovered recently?" ”

"I'm recovering well, and I'm still in the hospital for observation!"

"Oh! It's okay, it's okay! Liu Shuang pushed open the door, "This is a specially prepared guest room here, with bunk beds, how about it?" Brother will accompany you well tonight! ”

The night gradually darkened, and the bamboo forest behind the house came the sound of "cooing" owls and "squeaking" insects, which set off the silent night even quieter, and the semicircular mountain looked like a huge grave from a distance, and Liu Shuang's new house was like a tombstone in front of the grave.

The mountain wind poured through the hillside and between the houses, making a desolate "whining" sound, like a cry of resentment.

"Zhang Long, listen!" Liu Shuang motioned to Zhang Long to listen carefully to the voices outside, "Is there anyone crying?" ”

"Hey, you're just fooling around! Isn't it just the sound of the wind pouring in through the cracks in the back mountains? Zhang Long was a little sleepy, and he turned around and wanted to sleep.

"No, Zhang Long! Listen carefully! Liu Shuang's voice trembled a little, the voice seemed to be choked and sobbed, if it was the sound of the wind, it would be completely impossible to make such a mournful and desolate sound.

"It's like a girl's cry! Go check it out! Zhang Long approved the clothes and walked in the direction where Liu Shuang came from the cry, Liu Shuang was very scared when he turned on the flashlight, because he had never seen those things.

"Brother, listen to it!" Zhang Long motioned for Liu Shuang to put his ear on the wall in the backyard, and the sound came from inside the wall, and Liu Shuang fell to the ground and sat on the ground directly when he heard the sound.

"Brother, you don't have to be afraid! It seems to me that there is something wrong with the bricks of this wall, do you know where the masonry for building the house comes from? ”

"It was pulled from the brick kiln at the head of our village!"

"Brother, it's too late today, take me over there early tomorrow morning!"

The next day, Liu Shuang took Zhang Long to the small brick kiln at the entrance of the village, and during the Chinese New Year, the workers here had already begun to get busy, and the tractors pulling bricks kept going in and out.

They learned from the workers that the adobe used in the kiln to burn bricks was pulled out of this back mountain. The two went hand in hand to the back hill of the village, and the tractor kept pulling the earth in the direction of the brick kiln.

"No wonder! Brother, if I remember correctly, this back mountain should have been a grave mountain when I was a child, right? ”

Liu Shuang did not deny it.

"Brother, how many bricks did you buy from this back mountain?"

"Not much, the backyard wall after that!"

"It's okay, not too much! Let's go, go back and tear down the courtyard wall, those bricks can't be used! ”

Saying that, Zhang Long took Liu Shuang back and demolished the courtyard wall.

"Brother, don't worry, you will never hear that night's cry again! Then I'll have to go back tonight! “

"That's okay, I can't keep you anyway, goodbye!"

After saying goodbye to Liu Shuang and their family, Zhang Long also packed his bags and prepared to go back to school.

Zhang Tao had to go back to the hospital to take care of Liu Xia, so Zhang Long had to go to the train alone.

"Ding Dong" is a WeChat message sent by Liu Shuang, a happy little video, which is the video of Liu Shuang's wedding.

Zhang Long looked at the video and smiled, the train was speeding in the night, Zhang Long was lying on the bed, for Liu Shuang, he was sincerely blessed, but if he couldn't attend their wedding, he had to rush to school, and he had to rush to school with a little bit of indebtedness.

The train suddenly entered the dim tunnel in the night, and suddenly entered the brightly lit city, Zhang Long finally had to return to Wangjing City, and he was going to meet his familiar classmates and teachers again, thinking about it with a little excitement.

But when I think of all the strange things I encountered in school before, this school year is destined to be an extraordinary year, the mysterious Black Rakshasa gradually surfaced, and this semester is destined to be another eventful season.
