After I finished speaking, my head buzzed and I fainted.

I felt very cold on my body, like soaking in ice water, so cold that I couldn't stop shivering, and when I was in a daze, I heard my grandmother calling me anxiously and talking to me.

"Tuzi, don't play outside, go home quickly, grandma will give you stewed meat to eat, Tuzi......"

I'm a little confused, I'm not playing, I'm sleeping.

With my grandmother's words, my body became warmer and warmer, and it was not cold.

"It's finished." Old Yu said.

What became of it? Is it a stewed meat?

I swallowed my saliva and hurriedly opened my eyes, and found that I had returned home and was lying on the bed, my grandmother was standing at the head of my bed, and the old man was standing behind my grandmother, and the two of them looked at me nervously.

I wasn't a little disappointed that I didn't smell the meat.

"When am I going home?" I wondered.

Listening to me, grandma finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lao Yu reprimanded me with a straight face: "Why did you go to Lamei's house?" Whoever asks you to follow in the future, you can't agree, you know? ”

"I'm just going to play with her for a while." I still said, I can't be wronged in my heart, why don't you let me play?

Grandma had red eyes and pushed Lao Yu's head, "Okay, who are you showing with a straight face?" The child finally got better, and you were scared again. ”

She grabbed me and said, "Aren't you going to show Lamei Xiang the grave, why don't you hurry up?" ”

"What? Lamei's graveyard? I stiffened and said, "Why do you want to show her the grave?" She was playing with me just now. ”

Grandma patted me on the back and didn't speak.

The old man sighed and said, "Lamei fell into her well at noon and drowned. ”

Lamei drowned?

My heart was cold, and I couldn't help crying, "Dad, I saw Lamei just now, she said that she was cold, let me tell her dad to change her clothes, she also said that she has a new home, let me go and see it." ”

Old Yu had a calm face, frowned and asked, "Did she really say that?" ”

I nodded busily.

"It looks like that kid didn't mean to lure you along." After he finished speaking, he seemed to have made a decision, "Okay, I know what to do, you stay at home, I'll go to Lamei's house to have a look." After the old man finished speaking, he left in a hurry, and I wanted to go, but my grandmother pressed me on the bed and glared at me: "You are not allowed to go." ”

I pursed my mouth, thought about it, and said pitifully, "Grandma, I'm thirsty." ”

"You wait, I'll make you some sugar water." Grandma went to the outhouse to get a kettle.

I hurriedly jumped off the ground, put on my shoes and ran out, and behind me came my grandmother's angry voice: "You unlucky boy, come back to me." ”

When I ran to Lamei's house, there were already many people standing in the courtyard, and I was afraid that the old man would see me, so I didn't dare to go forward, and squeezed into the middle of a group of adults, looking at the well.

Lamei was lying on a straw mat by the well, her skin white and wet, and her wet clothes sticking to her body.

At her feet were three sticks of incense, all extinguished, two short and one long.

I heard Lao Yutou say that people are taboo with three long and two short, and the fragrance is two short and one long.

Lao Yutou was talking to Lamei's father, he had a calm face, and he looked like he was angry, "Du Gang, Lamei is your daughter, now it's gone, if you don't change her into decent clothes and make a coffin, she won't leave." ”

Du Gang is stingy, Lamei is seven years old, and she hasn't worn a new set of clothes, so she picks up relatives who don't want it.

"Lao Yu, you don't scare me, Lamei died early, and she drowned, it's unlucky, just give her a straw mat, dig a pit on the mountain bag and bury it." Du Gang said impatiently, and he was going to roll the straw mat on the ground.

Old Yu's face turned blue with anger.

I looked at Lamei's pale face, remembered her pitiful appearance at night, rushed up to push Du Gang away, and said angrily: "Lamei told me that she wants clean clothes." ”

Du Gang's face was gloomy, and he raised his hand to hit me: "What kind of clothes are not clothes, let you talk too much?" ”

Lao Yutou was a head taller than Du Gang, pulled me to his side, and glared at Du Gang condescendingly, "You try to touch her?" ”

Du Gang suddenly withered, pouted and said, "Anyway, this is my daughter, I can deal with it as I want." After speaking, the straw mat was rolled up, and Lamei walked out of the village.

I was so anxious that I wanted to catch up, but I was grabbed by Lao Yutou, who sighed, "It's useless." ”

"Why?" I was anxious to redden, especially distressed Lamei, "Lamei wants clean clothes, I have them, and my grandmother didn't wear them for me a few days ago." ”

"The mourning clothes have to be put on by the hands of the loved ones, not to mention that Lamei specially came to you and said that her father would change her clothes, this is her obsession, and Du Gang has to put it on for her with his own hands, and it is useless for us to put it on." Old Yu shook his head and said.

As soon as Du Gang left, the people in the village dispersed, and Lao Yutou and I also went home.

My grandmother, who was sitting in the outhouse, saw me come back, stood up and said, "Drink a glass of water and go to sleep." After saying that, he walked out, looking unhappy.

I hurriedly hugged her arm and sprinkled a good meal, and then she smiled and told me to come over tomorrow for dinner, and she gave me stew.

When I heard that I could eat meat, I felt a little better, took a sip from my cup, squinted my eyes, and the sugar water was sweet.

Grandma was just about to leave, but Lao Yutou stopped her and said, "Grandma, I'm thinking about inviting Lamei back." ”

"Please come back? What please? Isn't she gone? Grandma exclaimed.

Lao Yutou explained: "This is the method in the northeast, called to invite ghosts and fairies, Tuzi is easy to attract evil spirits, Lamei Yang's life is not over, and now there is a wish that has not been fulfilled, and he can't go, just please come back to Tuzi as a ghost fairy, that kind of thing will not look for Tuzi anymore." ”

Grandma wrung her eyebrows and shook her head, "No, everyone is sending them away, and you still invite them back?" ”
