Chapter 2: The Dark Shadow by the Bedside
When I saw the fingerprints on my wrist, I was really scared at first, but after calming down for a while, I was relieved because I found that the fingerprints were not painful, just a little cold, and it was okay to scratch them.
At this time, I didn't think about anything else, just rubbed my wrist, and then went to untie the cow rope and prepare to take the cow home.
My cow is an old cow, raised for five or six years, very humane, usually very docile, never make trouble, but this time I don't know what's going on, when it saw me walking towards it, suddenly jumped up from the ground, and then it kicked and writhed, and at the same time desperately struggled to break the rope, but the situation was like seeing something particularly terrifying.
This situation made me wonder what was wrong with the cow.
I picked up a branch from the ground and waved it while scolding at the cow, "Okay, you old immortal, I am your master, and I don't cut you or kill you, what are you afraid of doing this?" Hurry up and be honest with me, or you will look good! ”
As I spoke, I raised the branch in my hand and made a gesture to hit the cow, but what I didn't expect was that the old ox, who was usually basically immune to branches and whips, saw the thin branch in my hand hit it, and it was like an electric shock, and the whole body trembled like chaff, and then the cow panted heavily, and then it suddenly struggled back, and finally there was a "snap" sound, and the iron buckle on the nose was broken, and the bull rope was immediately taken off.
Breaking free from the rope, the old ox shook his head, "Moo-" with a strange cry, and then spread his hooves and ran towards the village, as if his butt was on fire, and I was puzzled for a while.
But although the old cow ran away, I was not too worried, because I knew that the old cow knew the door, although it ran away, but in the end it would definitely have to go home, so I was not too nervous, I just untied the rope, and then trotted and chased after it.
Strange to say, the cow saw me chasing it, but it ran faster like a ghost, and didn't let me get away at all.
I had no choice but to drive it all the way to the house, and then let my father catch it in the cowshed, which was to make it quiet.
However, after that, as soon as I entered the cowshed, Lao Huang immediately trembled all over his body, as if he had seen a ghost, and the situation was extremely strange.
This incident made me wonder for a while, and I felt that the cow seemed to have taken the wrong medicine.
When my father saw this, he thought that the cow might have been cleaned up by me, so he was a little afraid of me, so he didn't say anything, but told me to go to the house to eat.
At that time, there was no electricity in the village, and candles were lit during meals.
My mother helped me to make the meal, and I sat down to eat, and in the middle I remembered the fingerprint on my wrist, so I raised my wrist, and looked at it by the light of the candle, and found that there were indeed a few purple-red marks on my wrist, that is, the shape was a little irregular, it seemed to be a finger print, and it seemed to be a mark made by something, in short, it was a little strange.
I wondered how I got this mark out of the day, I didn't seem to play much during the day.
Could it be that when I was taking the cow, I wrapped the rope around my wrist and pulled it out, but I remember that the rope has always been very loose, how can it be possible to pull such a powerful mark?
Just when I was wondering, my mother saw me holding my wrist and looking left and right at the candle, and asked me, "What are you looking at?" Do you still have a treasure in your hands? ”
"It's not baby, I have a few bruises on my hands and neck, do you see? I don't even know how it came about. I stretched out my wrist to show my mother, the original plan was to invite merit and make my mother feel sorry for me, but after seeing it, my mother was full of doubts, frowned and asked me, "Are you okay?" Aren't your hands and neck good? Where are the bruises? ”
My mother's words stunned me, and I quickly pointed to the bruised marks and said, "Isn't it? You don't see it? ”
"What nonsense is this kid? If there is a bruise, how can I not see it? I don't believe you let your father see it, he must have said no," when the mother spoke, she patted her father, and the father looked up, and frowned: "Okay, what bruises, what are you talking nonsense?" ”
I'm really depressed now, could it be that the bruises on my wrists are not visible to me alone?
Just when I was depressed, my mother said to me while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "By the way, I heard that Xiaotu in the west is drowned. ”
After my mother sighed, she told me: "Don't go to the dam to bathe in the future in the future, be careful in everything, you know?" It's too hot, so I'm washing in a well at home, do you hear? ”
As soon as my mother said this, I suddenly remembered the little foolish thing, and I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, and then I said to my mother sullenly: "Don't worry, I won't go to the mountain dam to bathe again." ”
After I finished speaking, I ran out and washed up briefly, and then went to bed.
At that time, there were relatively few recreational activities in the countryside, and there was nothing to do when it was dark, so I basically went to bed early, so I also went to bed early.
Maybe it was because I was tired from working during the day, so I fell asleep not long after I went to bed, and then I don't know how long I slept, and in a daze, I felt someone grab my wrist and pull me.
I slept soundly, and I didn't bother to pay attention to it, so I shook my hand and muttered, "Don't drag, I'm sleepy, sleep." ”
As a result, at this time, a shrill voice sounded beside the bed: "Brother Yiji, get up, let's go bake sweet potatoes, okay?" ”
"Hmm, it's a little fool?" At this time, I heard that it was a little confused voice, and unconsciously rubbed my eyes, sat up and looked at her and said, "Why did you come to my house in the middle of the night?" ”
At this time, because I was sleeping in a daze, I had long forgotten that the little fool was dead, so I talked to the little fool normally.
Since there was no light in the room, it was dark, and I couldn't see the little fool clearly, only vaguely saw a small black shadow standing next to the bed, I don't know if it was a little fool.
"Brother Yiji, I want to eat baked sweet potatoes," the little black shadow beside the bed said again.
I felt a little helpless and wanted to sleep, but I didn't want to refuse the little fool, so I reached out and touched the little fool's head and said, "Little fool, it's too late, why don't we go to bed first and wait until dawn to roast sweet potatoes, okay?" ”
Just as I was speaking, my hand touched the little fool's hair, and then I found that her hair was wet and cold, which made me can't help but feel a thrill all over my body, and I reacted at once, remembering that the little fool was dead.
This situation made my heart skip a beat, a layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on my back, and my teeth "clicked" uncontrollably, and then I took several deep breaths in a row, and then I eased up a little, and then I asked the little fool in a trembling voice: "Little fool, you, aren't you dead?" What's going on with you, what's going on? ”
"Hee-hee-hee, Brother Yiji, let's go, hurry, come on, let's go bake sweet potatoes-"
As a result, at this time, the little fool on the side of the bed didn't hear me at all, she just talked to herself, and then stepped forward and pulled me by the hand, dragged me under the bed, and then pulled me out.
