Volume 18 Don't Look Back at Midnight Chapter 2 Don't Look Back at Midnight (2 more, Collection)
The village seems unusually quiet, no wonder when in the village, everyone rests very early, the village will not be at night, there will be the sound of car horns, there will be no noise of the city, at night, the village will sound the call of the nighthawk, as well as those birds and insects, the chirping, it is particularly good and moving.
I remember when I was a child, my favorite thing to listen to was that the moving birds and insects that sounded at night in the village, the chirping sounds, which were particularly moving, extraordinarily good, my father drove through, one bungalow after another, and finally there was a big yard in front of me, this yard is, the house where my grandmother lived.
Dad found a place out of the way, parked the car here, and then I got out of the car with my parents, and we came to the gate of the yard, which was closed.
"Bang bang."
Dad was the first to knock, this big red iron door, my mother and I waited here, after about twenty minutes, the big iron door was opened, and from inside came a very tough, but a little gray-haired old woman, this old woman when she saw us, the old face was smiling.
"Well, who else should I be, son and daughter-in-law, and my little grandson, why did you come here?" Grandma said with a smile.
"Hehe, it's nothing, this is not a small summer vacation, I just want to relax, so I brought him over." Dad smiled: "Mom, how has your health been all these years?" ”
"Hehe, look at me, of course I'm tough." Grandma smiled and said, "Okay, you guys have come all the way back, come in and sit!" ”
I hurriedly walked forward, held my grandmother's slightly old hand, and said, "Grandma, Xiaofan misses you to death, I haven't seen you for a long time, grandma is still tough, it doesn't look like an eighty-year-old at all, but like a sixty-year-old." ”
"Hehe, Xiaofan! You can talk with a sweet mouth. Grandma smiled and said, "Come, let's go in!" ”
I nodded, and took my grandmother's hand and walked inside, and my parents followed me inside, and my parents and I walked to a, in a large living room, and sat here to rest, and my grandmother gave us some water, and sat here and chatted about this, how to meet the joy of meeting with the family for a long time, of course, there are endless words.
Originally, my dad wanted to let my grandmother go to the city, after all, how old and need to take good care of, but grandma just didn't go, she said that the city was too noisy, it was better to be idle in the village, but it was far away from us, we didn't send it when we wanted to come, and only every year during the New Year, we came, and we rarely came over in normal times.
"Well, by the way, I heard that Xiaofan is also a college student now." Grandma looked at me and smiled, "How is Xiaofan, is it okay to study?" Stressed? ”
"Well, it's still quite stressful." I smiled and said, "However, these are nothing for me, I can still overcome them, as for learning, it is just so-so!" ”
"Hehe, Xiaofan is just a little modest." Mom explained with a smile: "Xiaofan, this child, still studies very hard, and is among the top five in the school." ”
"Uh, that's amazing!" Grandma was shocked: "Xiaofan, in the future, you should be humble and humble outside, in front of your family, there is no need to be modest." ”
......
"Well, there's nothing to brag about." I scratched my head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just doing my duty, I'm just doing my duty as a student, it's actually nothing, I don't like to show off this kind of thing, it feels too pretentious, it's not interesting." ”
"Hehe, Xiaofan, by the way, you are in the top five in school, there should be many girls who want to chase you!" Grandma asked.
"Well, where is it?" I smiled helplessly: "Besides, when I'm still finishing my studies, I don't want to fall in love, these can only hinder my studies, so I don't have any object." ”
"Uh, is that so?" Grandma smiled: "You are not as good as your father, your father made your mother's belly bigger when he was eighteen years old, you have to step up your efforts, you are now in your twenties, and it is time to talk to someone." ”
"Uh, Mom, what did you say?" Mom looked at her grandmother a little embarrassed, and said coquettishly: "Xiaofan, you are only in your twenties now, how can you say this to your child." ”
"I'm not afraid, my grandson will not find a partner for the rest of his life." Grandma smiled: "I still want to hug my great-grandson as soon as possible, I am thinking that Xiaofan's future children must be very cute, so I say this, after all, I am now eighty years old, maybe I can't see the time when my grandson gets married." ”
Speaking of this, there were sad tears in my grandmother's eyes, obviously my grandmother was very sad, so I hurriedly walked over and patted my grandmother's shoulder.
"Grandma, what are you talking nonsense here?" I comforted: "Look at how tough you are now, you must live for twenty or thirty years, you will definitely be able to see me get married, and when the time comes, I will honor you with my daughter-in-law, and you will not say such frustrating words in the future." ”
"Yes! Mom, you're going to live a long life. Mom said: "Don't keep saying this kind of immortal words, you have to live happily, so that you can see the moment when your grandson gets married." ”
"Well, yes! Mom, don't say that in the future. Dad said, "By the way, I don't want to take you back to the city to live!" It's good there, I'll call Xiaofan when I'm free, how about taking you out for a walk, you always stay in the village, it's not like that, the neighbors still think that we are not filial? ”
"Hehe, okay, son, I appreciate your kindness." Grandma smiled: "It's just that I've lived in this village for many years, and I'm not used to going to strange places, so I'm still here, besides, there are too many cars in the city, it's too chaotic, and it's still relatively quiet in the village." ”
"However, it is still inconvenient for you to be here alone." Dad looked at grandma and said: "If you go to the city, if there is anything, we can also help you, we can also take care of you, you are here by yourself, you have to do everything by yourself, you are not young now, it is time to enjoy the blessings, you should not work anymore." ”
"Haha, you kid! I said it was okay. Grandma smiled: "It's all old neighbors here, I'm used to it, if I go to the city and don't know anyone, I think I'm still good here, at least there are many acquaintances here, don't persuade me." ”
......
Dad saw that grandma was so resolute, and finally could only nod silently, since grandma is here, we have no way to say anything, we can only be silent, if grandma is not willing to go, we can't be tough, take her back! We took a sip of water here in silence.
"Well, by the way, when you came here at night, you didn't meet anyone!" Grandma asked.
We looked at each other for a moment, and of course we knew what Grandma was talking about, and Grandma was afraid that someone would call us, and we looked back and saw something terrible.
"Hehe, Mom, what age is it, you put away these superstitions!" Dad smiled, "Besides, now is not the time for you to tell stories." ”
"Hey, you kid, why don't you believe it." Grandma said speechlessly: "Besides, I didn't tell a story, this is indeed a true thing, anyway, when you are at night, it is best not to go out, even if you go out, in case someone calls you, you don't look back, you know?" ”
"Ugh!" Mom looked at Grandma and asked, "Why is that?" ”
"Because, if you look back, you'll see what you're afraid of." Grandma said, "Daughter-in-law, I didn't tell you when you got married, but I want to tell you now, when you go away at night, you must not look back, because if you look back, you will see terrible things." ”
"Well, my husband told me about it in the car just now." Mom smiled and said, "The story you told is really scary!" ”
"No, it's not a story." Grandma shook her head in denial.
"Ugh."
Mom glanced at grandma in shock: "It's not a story? Is it true! ”
"Yes, I remember it was one night, and it was very quiet." Grandma sighed and said, "In the east of our village, there is a man who lives here, he seems to be going to buy something, and then he goes out at night, goes to the small shop nearby, and then walks in the direction of home, suddenly. ”
Grandma said suddenly, I feel that the atmosphere is very tense now, everyone dare not breathe, I feel that my heart is about to jump out, and my mother is nervously holding Dad's hand at this time.
Suddenly, the man heard it, and there was a muffled breathing behind him. Grandma continued: "This inexplicable breathing sound startled this man, because at this time, it was already midnight, and everyone in the village was sleeping, so the sudden sound of breathing, which made this man not afraid, this man ran desperately, wanting to run home." ”
"But at this time, an ethereal voice came from behind me, hey, can you help me, as long as you can help me, I will definitely have a lot of thanks." "This man hesitates here, but he is very weak when he hears this voice, and he must really need help, so he turns his head to look, and when he looks behind him, his whole body is numb." ”
"Because behind him, there is not a person standing, but a male ghost, whose tongue sticks out all over and his face is a little pale." Grandma took a breath and said: "Then, this man ran back to the house, and on the night he came home, this man was frightened crazy, and shouted everywhere that he saw a ghost, and the people in the village were suspicious, and after the past two days, this man died violently at home, and when he died, his eyes were round, and he felt that he was going to stare out, which was very terrifying and terrifying." ”
