Chapter Twenty-Three: Night Falls

Ignoring the old blind man, I dragged my mother home.

Along the way, my mom was worried and thought I was a little impulsive to do this.

At this time, I told my mother not to worry, I said that the Diamond Sutra and the Great Compassion Mantra that my grandmother taught me are very effective, and when I dream of a little ghost in my dream, as long as I recite the Sutra, it will naturally be fine.

Seeing me say this, my mother could only sigh and say nothing more, she was probably angry in her heart, and felt that the old blind man was really a bit too much.

When we got home, my dad asked us how we were doing, and we didn't dare to tell the truth, only that it was almost the same, and then we went to our own homes, and my mom and my dad went to the grass to weed, and I stayed at home alone.

At this time, I was a little bored, after all, the old scalper was dead, and I basically didn't have to do anything, not to mention that my health was not completely well, and my parents didn't want me to do any work, so I moved a small stool by myself and sat in the shade of the yard to read.

I have a characteristic, that is, I like to read books, basically read any book, as long as I can get the book, I will see the end from the beginning, even the final annotation or something will be read again, no way, when I was a child, my family was poor, I couldn't afford to buy books, basically borrowed books to read, so I cherish the opportunity to read books.

This time the book I read is not a big book, it is a "Story", the story in it is short and concise, I read it with relish, I unconsciously forgot the time, until I finished reading a book, when I looked up, I found that the sun had sunk in the west, and evening had arrived.

My family lives at the entrance of the village, surrounded by woods, the sun has not yet set, the yard is already overcast, the tall poplar trees are patting their leaves in the wind, and the cool air blows, I feel goosebumps all over my body, it doesn't feel like a big summer, but like a late autumn night.

This situation caught my attention, I knew that it was probably my high fever again, because I knew that people with high fever generally feel colder, so I hurriedly ran to the house, found a dress to put on, warmed myself a little, and by the way drank a large bowl of boiling water, a little sweat, made me feel a little comfortable, but I still felt very cold, shivering with cold, as if winter had come.

However, what makes me feel strange is that at this time, although I feel cold, my consciousness is very clear, and my body does not feel sore. I wondered in my heart, touched my forehead, and found that my head was indeed very hot, but it didn't hurt, and then I looked at my hands, and found that the black and white handprints were still there, but the black handprints had been twitching and trembling, as if they were burned by the fire, and I didn't know what was wrong.

I knew that the situation was not right, and I wanted to go to my parents, but my parents were working in the fields, far from home, and if I wanted to find them, I had to go to the fields.

At that time, I felt that the situation was urgent, and I couldn't do much more, so I wrapped up and ran to the west side of the village, where I knew my parents were working.

As a result, I seem to have forgotten one thing, that is, the little fool's home happens to live in the west of the village, and the stinky ditch where she drowned is also on the side of the road, so my trip this time is basically equivalent to suicide.

However, at this time, I ran towards the west of the village in such a ghostly way.

Sure enough, when I reached the west end of the village, the sun had just set, and there was only a trace of afterglow left in the western sky, and the cold wind in the field blew through, making my whole body shiver, and I walked all the way forward, and before I knew it, I came to the edge of the stinky ditch.

When I got here, I subconsciously turned my head to look into the stinky ditch, and found that there was a purple-black thing floating in the center of the stinky ditch, and when I looked closely, I found that it was a dead pig, I don't know how long it had been thrown in, it had already rotted and stinky, the flesh and blood had bloomed, and many maggots were drilling in it, emitting a disgusting stench, which made people smell and can't help but be nauseated.

I didn't dare to stay on the edge of the ditch longer, and hurriedly ran forward, but I didn't run a few steps, and bumped into a person head-on.

When I saw Hu Jun, he also saw me, he was carrying a shovel, rolled up his trouser legs, his feet were covered with mud, his face was black, all oil and sweat, as if he had just finished his work.

Hu Jun naturally didn't have a good face for me, after all, my mother and I went to his house that day to make trouble, so he spat at me at that time and said, "Bah, fart boy, sooner or later you will have to fall into the water and drown!" ”

"Who are you talking about?!"

I didn't have a good impression of Hu Jun at all, so I retorted at the time and stood there glaring at him fiercely.

As a result, I didn't expect this bastard to be so ruthless, he saw that there was no one left and right, and he actually rushed over at once, kicked at me, and scolded in his mouth: "Grass you, are you bold?" ”

"Shall I grass you!"

I'm not a good stubble, not to mention that because of the little foolish things, I have a long-standing grudge against him, so although I was young at the time and didn't have much strength, I didn't retreat at all, and after being kicked, I immediately grabbed a rotten wooden stick from the ground and threw myself at Hu Jun.

Hu Jun saw my fierce appearance, his eyes darkened, he gritted his teeth and raised the shovel and smashed it at me, I couldn't dodge, just happened to be slapped on the shoulder by him, and immediately the whole person rolled to the ground, and then Hu Jun jumped over, rode on me, raised his fist and hit my face for a while, and scolded while beating: "I killed you little beast, you wild seed who has no one to teach you!" ”

You know, after all, Hu Jun is an adult, and he does farm work all the year round, and his strength is very great, while I am a child and still sick, so it is impossible to beat him at all, and I don't even have the strength to resist, so at that time, I could only be pressed and beaten by him, I could only wave my hands indiscriminately, and curse desperately in my mouth.

Just when I was helpless, Hu Jun on my body suddenly stopped his fist, looked at me with a shocked face and said: "Xiao, Xiaotu, you, you, don't blame me, Dad didn't mean it, you're dead, don't come to me!" ”

Hu Jun's reaction stunned me, and then I saw that he was looking at me with a frightened face, I couldn't help but feel a puzzle in my heart, and I couldn't care so much, so I raised my hand and grabbed him in the face.

As a result, under this grasp, he actually grabbed four bloody marks on his face at once, and Hu Jun jumped off me with a strange scream, turned around and covered his face, and ran away like crazy.
