When I was thirteen years old, I finally knew what my grandmother meant by not being afraid.

This year, I was in the sixth grade in the village, and I felt unbearable abdominal pain when I was in class, and my best friend Liu Xiuli helped me ask for leave and helped me go home.

On the way, I felt that there was a warm current under me, and when I looked down and saw that my pants were dyed red, I was immediately frightened and cried, and Liu Xiuli also panicked and took me home while comforting me.

Grandma was in the house at the time, and we married a wife and had children, and we asked Grandma to see many things.

"Grandma, I'm going to die." I cried and screamed, my grandmother rushed out of the house, and when she saw the blood on my pants, she frowned, and then asked Liu Xiuli to go back first, changed my pants, and told me that this is a girl who can't die.

"Grandma, you lie, if I'm not going to die, why are you crying?" I clutched my stomach and raised my eyes to look at my grandmother, her wrinkled eye sockets faintly welling up with tears about to welling up.

This is the first time I have seen my grandma cry, grandma wiped her tears, and didn't say much, just told me not to go out again tonight, just stay in the house and don't go anywhere.

My stomach was already cramping, and I didn't have the heart to go out at all, so after eating and putting it on, I lay on my stomach on the kang and fell asleep after a while.

As I was in the middle of my sleep, I suddenly felt as if a wet hand was caressing my cheek, and the water ran down my cheek towards my mouth, making me open my eyes.

"Lili, why have you become a soup chicken?" I squinted and looked at Liu Xiuli in front of me through the light in the room.

At this moment, she was wet all over, her originally delicate cheeks were still mixed with mud, and there were obvious pinch marks on her neck.

"Lili, what's wrong with you?" I looked at the scar on her neck, and my heart couldn't help but tighten.

Liu Xiuli's family lives at the end of the village, she has a different surname from the people in our village because she is what people call the "oil bottle", and she remarried to our village with her mother.

"Ah, why are your pants red, are you also on period, quick, change them off." I said and was about to get up.

But she suddenly shook her head vigorously at me with tears, her purple lips trembled, and said to me: "Little rhino, I am so painful, so uncomfortable." ”

"Pain? I'll call my grandfather to show you. I looked at Liu Xiuli and sat up.

Liu Xiuli didn't answer anything, she turned around and walked out of my room, I hurriedly got out of bed, grabbed the umbrella at the foot of the wall and followed out, but I didn't see Liu Xiuli's shadow, I only saw my grandfather drinking in the hall.

"Grandpa, is Xiuli gone?" I asked my grandfather.

Grandpa was obviously drunk, smashed his mouth, glanced at me and said, "Girl, you are sleepy, go back to the house." ”

Grandpa has a bad temper on weekdays, everyone secretly says that he is out of the house, and without a son, he doesn't like to go out to drink all day long, and he also yells at grandma.

I didn't dare to make my grandfather angry, so I obediently returned to my room, but I couldn't help but worry that Liu Xiuli didn't know what happened to her.

At that time, I didn't know that something had happened to Liu Xiuli.

Early the next morning, I heard the sound of suona in the village, our village will only blow suona when we do funerals, listening to the sound of suona outside, I rubbed my eyes and got up, and ran to the door of the house as soon as I slipped the smoke.

Grandma happened to come back from outside, looking tired, and when she saw that I was still standing at the door and watching, she sank her face: "Little rhino, didn't Grandma tell you not to come out, why are you still back?" ”

"Grandma is dead." I poked my head out in curiosity.

Grandma glanced in the direction of the suona sound and pulled me into the house.

Let me lie down on the kang and cover it with a quilt, then I pursed my lips and said: "Little rhino, grandma said, don't be sad, it's Xiuli, after she sent you back last night, she accidentally drowned by the river." ”

"What?" I looked at my grandmother with wide eyes in astonishment.

Grandma patted me lightly on the shoulder: "Xiuli is a good child, grandma has already visited her last night, buried her, after blowing the mourning music today, she will be cremated tomorrow, and her mother will bury her ashes in the back mountain." ”

"Last night, last night, grandma, did you go to bury Xiuli?" I'm a little confused.

Grandma nodded: "Yes, their house will come after dinner." ”

"No way, Xiuli came to see me last night, and I talked to her." I stared at my grandmother.

Grandma was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Last night?" Approximate when? ”

"When it's time to hurry." When I got up and walked into the hall, I glanced at the clock, and it was about one o'clock.

Grandma's body trembled violently, and she stretched out her calloused hand and covered my mouth, her hand was so cold, as if she was frightened.

"Girl, you are not allowed to tell anyone else about this, not even your grandfather!" Grandma stared at me with blood-red eyes.

Seeing my grandmother so nervous, although I didn't understand it, I quickly nodded.

She let go of her hand, I looked at her, hesitated, and said to her, "Grandma, I saw that Xiuli was injured, she?" ”

"Xiuli is dead, don't mention her again in the future, you have a good rest, grandma will be very busy these days, you remember, don't run around." Grandma's face was gloomy, and I nodded as if I didn't understand.

At noon, my grandmother brought me food into the house, and then went out again, it was still pouring rain outside, and my grandfather was drinking white wine while scolding, saying that grandma died outside all day, and even forgot to buy wine for him.

I sighed and sat on the bed, thinking about the appearance of Liu Xiuli when she came to me last night, and I really couldn't accept the fact that she was dead.

The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, and I couldn't help crying lowly, and finally I was tired of crying and fell asleep on the pillow again.

"Little rhino, little rhino!"

I was sleeping in a daze, and I heard someone calling me again, and when I opened my eyes to look for prestige, I saw Liu Xiuli standing at the door of my room, wearing our navy blue shroud from the countryside, but the buttons were messily drooping, and her clothes were untidy.

"Leigh, Leigh, yes, yes, you." Obviously, I could see her face clearly through the bedside lamp, but I still asked her in a trembling voice, didn't grandma say that Liu Xiuli was dead last night, why is she still here.

"Little rhino, I'm in so much pain, I'm unwilling, let your grandma help me." Liu Xiuli said and raised her eyes that had turned scarlet.

I was startled, her eyes seemed to be bleeding.

"Let your grandma help me, help me." As she spoke, she retreated behind her, and I chased out barefoot excitedly, but Liu Xiuli disappeared without a trace as last night.

pinched his cheek hard, it hurt very much, not a dream, and there were wet footprints on the ground, Liu Xiuli really came, I know that she is no longer human, but she is not afraid, because she is my best friend.

The next day, I told my grandmother exactly what Liu Xiuli said, I don't know what Liu Xiuli wants her grandmother to help her, but I still help and beg grandma.

My grandmother, who has always been obedient to me, didn't want to refuse without even thinking about it, and yelled at me loudly for the first time.

"Didn't grandma just tell you yesterday, don't talk about this kind of thing in the future, if that beauty really comes to you again, you should not be able to see it, and you wear this, don't take it off." Grandma said and put a triangular amulet on me.

I was very sad in my heart, because this was Liu Xiuli's last request, but I, who was a friend, couldn't help him.

Grandma not only helped Lili, but also locked me in my room and didn't let me go out and walk around.

As a result, the next day, I heard from my grandfather that something had happened in the village, and a "corpse thief" entered the village and stole Liu Xiuli's body.

This kind of thing happened Liu Xiuli's mother fainted on the spot, she is now a person with a body, and she is pregnant with Liu Xiuli's younger brother in her belly.

It's just that what I never expected was that that night, I saw Liu Xiuli again.

She was standing in front of the window of my room, and I looked at her through the window, and her eyes were overflowing with blood and tears.

I looked at her not with fear but with distress, thinking that Liu Xiuli's body was stolen by a corpse thief, so could this be her soul, and I opened the window and wanted to get closer to see her.

However, she was frightened when I approached, and the skin on her face began to rot, and she pointed to my chest and shouted, she was afraid.

As soon as she shouted like this, I realized that it was the amulet that my grandmother gave me.
