Chapter 4: Midnight Lost
"Grandma!"
Xu Tian was very excited to see his grandmother, for eighteen years, Xu Tian had a few letters with his grandmother every year, although Xu Tian left the phone to his grandmother, but the old man was still used to communicating in the traditional way of communication.

As for the telephone, even if I bought a mobile phone for my grandmother, it was useless, there was no signal in the village at all, and the only communication equipment in the whole village was the public telephone in the small store at the head of the village, but the villagers rarely called.
Grandma turned her back to Xu Tian to pour tea, her back bowed slightly, looking very weird in the dim room, Xu Tian couldn't help but shudder, and said silently in her heart: "What am I thinking, this is grandma." ā
"Tomorrow night I will start to wake your second master's spirit, sleep well tonight, I'm afraid you won't have a good rest these days, and when the funeral is over, grandma will give you the heirloom and keep it for your daughter-in-law in the future."
"Grandma! It's too early for me to marry my daughter-in-law, and now that I've just graduated from college and just started working, it's too early to think about this. ā
"If you hadn't entered the city, I would have introduced you to the granddaughter of your fifth aunt, Xiaotian is also 28 this year, right? If you are in the village, the babies will run all over the ground. ā
"Big double? Is it a big double sister? If I'm not mistaken, our two families are related, right? How can we get married! ā
"There are only two surnames Xu Huang in this village, and everyone has some relatives, as long as it is a relative relationship other than the three generations, it doesn't matter, but now it's too late for you to want a big double, and they will get married next week."
Xu Tian didn't feel his heart tightened, now the funeral of the second master has not been held, and it is also the most taboo in the village to meet the red and white things, if the red and white things in the village are together, the red things must be delayed, but listening to the tone of the grandmother, it seems that the big pair does not mean to delay the marriage, which is also too strange.
"By the way, grandma, let me ask you something, do you know Hongmei?"
When Xu Tian said Hongmei, grandma's kind face immediately became gloomy, and Huang Quan and Xiao Ai next to him also let out an exclamation, and all the drinks in Xiao Ai's hands fell to the ground.
"Where did you hear that? Did your dad tell you? Grandma's expression was very nervous, Xu Tian had never seen grandma like this.
"No, I heard it from a tape, and it was sent from our village just before your shipment arrived." Xu Tian took out the tape and said.
Grandma snatched the tape and slammed it to the ground, crushing it with her foot.
Xu Tian was frightened by his grandmother's actions, half because the tape was damaged, and the other half because his grandmother's legs and feet were still so flexible.
"Grandma, what are you doing here? I haven't figured out the meaning of the little girl's testimony. ā
"Don't mention the testimony, don't mention Hongmei, if you let the people in the village know, then it will blow up, Huang Quan and Xiao Ai go home, let's not eat today."
Grandma was very angry, and sat on the kang without saying a word after driving Huang Quan and Xiao Ai away, Xu Tian noticed that grandma had been restraining her trembling hands, and at this time Xu Tian was already sure that grandma must be hiding some secret.
It was getting dark soon, and the unpleasantness of the afternoon made the grandparents and grandchildren not say a few words all night, grandma arranged Xu Tian's residence, and told Xu Tian to stay at home and return to the city after the funeral of the second master.
This time Xu Tian was called back by his grandmother in order to keep a wake for the second master, the second master has no children, so he can only be replaced by the descendants of other brothers to replace the responsibility of the children, in terms of ranking, it should have been Xu Tian's father to fulfill this obligation, as for why the grandmother did not let his father come back, Xu Tian was also completely unaware.
There were many things that Xu Tian wanted to ask, but grandma refused to speak this afternoon, so Xu Tian did not continue to ask.
In the middle of the night, Xu Tian couldn't sleep, the melody of the song kept echoing in his mind, who was that red girl, and who was the person who sent him this tape?
And why is grandma so nervous, all these mysteries surround Xu Tian, and after a while, Xu Tian fell asleep.
When Xu Tian fell asleep, it felt like the little girl's humming was falling asleep with him, and the girl's humming was getting closer and closer, and finally it seemed to stop in his ears.
Xu Tian woke up suddenly, his whole body was already soaked with sweat, and the little girl's humming just now was like a nightmare that haunted Xu Tian.
Suddenly, a dark shadow passed by the window outside the window, Xu Tianxia subconsciously opened the curtains, and found that there seemed to be a person in a coat standing in the courtyard.
The dark night was very dark, and Xu Tian couldn't tell whether the person was a man or a woman, but it was certain that the person's hair was very long, and Xu Tian's first judgment was that it was a woman, because of the traditional concept in the mountain village, it was impossible for a man to have long hair.
Xu Tian grabbed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom, tiptoed to the door of the outhouse, and gently pushed the door open.
The door was pushed open by Xu Tian with very light force, as if someone outside was pulling the door at the same time, but when Xu Tian looked into the courtyard, the man in the coat was gone.
Xu Tian hurriedly walked out of the house, but there was no one behind the door or in the corner of the courtyard.
"Ah......h
Suddenly, there was a scream from the courtyard next door, Xu Tian hurriedly jumped over the courtyard wall, and at this time, it seemed that the people next door also heard the scream, and the house soon lit up with dim lights.
Xu Tian's first consciousness was to observe whether there were any suspicious people around, so Xu Tian jumped back on the wall and stood on the red brick wall more than one meter high and looked around.
First of all, the family next door walked out of the house, and then the grandmother walked out while getting dressed, but what Xu Tian cared about the most was the courtyard separated from the grandmother's house by two families.
The family's house was built on a small dirt slope about ten meters high, and the whole village belonged to the highest terrain of that family.
After the man found Xu Tian looking at him, he scurried down the ten-meter-high dirt slope.
Xu Tian was stunned, the ten-meter-high earth slope and the one-meter-high courtyard wall were nearly four stories high, and that person was so vigorous that he was flowing down.
But what surprised Xu Tian even more was that after that person came down, under the light of the neighbor's flashlight, a well-proportioned girl stood in front of Xu Tian.
"Vanilla, do you see anything?" The neighbor asked the girl.
Vanilla? This girl Xu Tian knows, her playmate when she was a child, is one year younger than Xu Tian, but vanilla was a crybaby when she was a child, and it is hard to imagine that she is so vigorous now.
"In the well, I saw Xu Fugui falling." Vanilla said, pointing to the well that was not yet finished.
It was an old-fashioned well, and the mountain village did not have much technology, so it could only drill such an old-fashioned well.
The rope on the roller pole had already gone down the well, and Xu Tian suddenly had a bad premonition.
