I told my dad that my mom had beaten me in the afternoon, and it was going to hurt my stomach. My dad smiled and didn't say anything.

Growing up, my dad didn't care much about me, all the education problems were thrown to my mom, every time I was beaten by my mom, my dad just smiled like this, and never asked my mom why she beat me.

In the evening, I kept thinking about the afternoon, and the more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that my mother was wrong, and I fell asleep when I thought about it.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that I was woken up by my uncle's snoring.

It has been more than a year since Lao Chai Tou received the ghost, and for more than a year, my uncle and I have been sleeping on the same kang. Uncle usually has a habit of snoring, but I slept very dead and was woken up by my uncle's snoring, and this is the first time.

When I woke up, I couldn't sleep again.

At that time, my mind was still in the afternoon, thinking about it, and remembering what happened when I was a child, at that time, every time I made a mistake, my mother chased me and beat me to death, but when it was Liu Shangang's turn to be beaten, she went to someone's house to intercede.

Something like this, you just can't think about it too much, and if you think about it too much, it's easy to drill the tip of the horns, and I was on the tip of the horns at that time. I thought, I'm definitely not my mother's own, otherwise how could she be so hard every time she hits me?

This question recurred in my mind several times, and then I thought, I'm going to leave my mother's "clutches", I'm going to run away from home!

While thinking so, I endured the pain in my buttocks, gritted my teeth and climbed off the kang, and quietly went out of the house.

In my dad's words, I have been a very mobile child since I was a child, and as long as I think of anything, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, I just get started.

In this regard, when I was a child, I was very similar to my dad, especially every time I did something without a beginning or an end, no matter whether the result was good or not, I would always feel regretful, which was exactly the same as my dad.

Walking on the village road, I began to regret it, in the middle of the night, there was no one on the road, there was no light in the village, the road was reflected in the moonlight, miserable white, and it looked weird. At this time, I remembered Liu Shangang's words again, what if I ran into a human trafficker, what if I was sold to ask for food?

I wanted to go home, but when I thought about it, I ran away from home, and before I left the village, I was scared back, and I didn't get laughed at yet!

But after leaving the village, where do I go?

Anyway, it's better to go anywhere than to go home now, right? In case I leak my mouth one day and tell Liu Shangang about tonight's events, just his mouth, I will definitely let the whole school know about me. I don't want to be laughed at.

I hesitated and walked down the village road with my head buried. When I was about to reach a stick field at the north end of the village, someone behind me suddenly called me: "Don't go any further, stop!" ”

Judging by the voice, the person who shouted should be a little girl about my age.

I subconsciously wanted to turn back, but halfway through my body, I suddenly remembered that it was the middle of the night, whose little girl would appear on the village road at this time, not to mention, this voice was very unfamiliar, and it sounded floating, it felt very far away, and it seemed to be very close, I had never heard such a sound.

Lao Chai Tou once said that if you hear someone screaming behind you on the night road, don't turn back casually, in case you encounter a ghost who has died unjustly, this turn back will be a catastrophe.

At the time, I didn't understand what "doomed" meant, but I knew that it wasn't a good word. Coupled with the sound coming from behind, it doesn't look like it comes from the throat of a living person!

I was half-sided, just standing stiffly in place, cold sweat running down my back, soaking wet.

Through the afterglow, I saw a dark green light slowly approaching me, closer and closer, closer and closer......

I was so frightened that I didn't know what to do, at this moment, the little green hand slowly stretched out to me, and when the little hand approached my right wrist, I suddenly felt a coldness, and my heart and liver were frightened to tremble, "Whew-" screamed, turned around and ran.

I almost used all my strength to run, and as I ran, I heard the voice behind me shouting to me: "What are you running, stop!" ”

This time, the voice behind it was much clearer, like the voice of a living person, but how could a living person glow green?

At that time, I decided that the thing behind me was definitely not a person, so I ran like crazy, thinking that as long as I left the village, I would go to the urban-rural junction, and there was a police station nearby, so I would run to the police station.

But how much physical strength can I have as a child, I started to pant for breath after running for a long time, and I don't know if the things behind me are following me, just keep running.

After running for a while, I saw that I was about to reach the entrance of the village, but I was already out of breath, and the breath that came out of my throat was like fire, burning my throat dry, and my legs and feet were sore.

In the end, I couldn't hold on anymore, so I stopped, and held my knees with both hands and panted wildly, but I was still terrified in my heart, so I turned sideways a little and glanced behind me with the corner of my eye.

People are like this, when they suddenly relax after extreme tension, they feel extremely tired, and I am the same now, my legs and stomach began to jerk without warning, and the butt that was beaten by my mother in the afternoon became more painful, and my whole body felt uncomfortable, sleepy, and dazed, and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, when I fell to the ground, I reached out to block it so that I didn't fall too badly, but I scratched a little skin on my face.

I wanted to sit down, but my butt hurt terribly, and I was so tired that I couldn't help it, so I could only squat on the ground, my eyes motionless in the direction of the entrance to the village. Outside the entrance of the village, there was a white street lamp, which was like a life-saving straw for me, and the fear in my heart subsided a little when I saw it.

Now I don't dare to go home at all, for fear that I will be too far away from the lights and I will not meet any other ghosts. I also remembered that Liu Shangang's family lived not far from Wang Zhuang, otherwise, I would have gone to his house tonight first.

It wasn't until my legs stopped twitching that I reluctantly stood up and continued walking towards the entrance of the village.

The closer I got to the street lamp, the more I felt that it was so bright that it couldn't open your eyes. But I didn't think much of it, and just kept going.

But as I walked, I felt that something was wrong, the light obviously didn't look too far away from me, but I walked for a long time, but I didn't approach it at all, I just felt that it kept getting brighter. And under the lamp, there was a faint gray shadow, and the shadow was stretched longer and longer by the light, and it was almost in front of my face.

I wanted to stop at this time, but my legs and feet seemed to disobey the call, and they kept moving forward step by step. The shadow had already overshadowed my face, and I felt a little numb in my scalp, as if I was scared, and as if I really wanted to get close to the lamp, I couldn't tell what it was like.

At this time, I vaguely saw the lamppost floating towards me, and with the lamppost came a man dressed in black, and the shadow was reflected in him, he was tall and thin, with straight hands and feet, although I could not see his appearance clearly, but I could see his white eyes, and he was staring straight at me at this time.

When I saw him, my first reaction was a long sigh of relief, thinking that I had touched the old firewood, but I don't know why, I didn't think he was like it, my head was groggy at the time, and I couldn't tell what it wasn't like.

He came up to me and smiled at me with a mouthful of snow-white teeth. At that time, I thought, when did Lao Chai Tou's teeth become so white? I've seen him laugh, that tooth has long been yellowed by drought smoke, and half of his left front tooth is missing.

By the way, why is there only the whites of the eyes in the eyes of the old chaitou? I remember that Lao Chai Tou's pupils were extraordinarily black and extraordinarily bright.

But even if I felt that something was wrong, I still recognized the person in front of me as Lao Chai Tou, and I always felt that as long as I ran into him, I would be safe.

At this time, "Lao Chai Tou" spoke: "Where is Lao Wang's family?" ”

His voice was thick and soft, like the one you make when you pull through a bellows.

"Old Wang's family? In this place of Wangzhuang, at least half of the people are surnamed Wang, how do I know which old Wang you are asking. I thought so, but I didn't say anything, and I reached out and pointed in the southwest direction.

"Old Chai Tou" showed a mouthful of white teeth, and let out a muffled voice like a bellows in his throat: "Lead the way!" ”

As he spoke, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me in the direction of my fingers, his fingers were cold and hard, and they were tied to my wrists like five iron bars, and I could feel the pain, but I didn't think about breaking free, so he led me forward.

I don't know what's going on with myself, it's obviously summer, but I feel very cold, my hands and feet are frozen, and as I go farther and farther, my consciousness becomes more blurred, but I vaguely feel that I have come to a very old iron door, there is a wooden sign hanging on the iron door, the wooden sign is also very old, but I can vaguely see that there are three words on it, I don't know the first word, only know that the last two words are: Yizhuang.

"Lao Chai Tou" pushed open the iron door with a slight push, and was about to pull me inside, when I heard someone shouting behind me: "Don't go in with him, you won't be able to get out if you go in!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, then turned my head to look behind me, and saw a little girl of my age, she was very well-behaved, with big eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and a long braid tied behind her head, and she was wearing a very beautiful red flower jacket, and at this time she was staring at me with her left hand crossed over her waist, and on her right hand, she was holding an old papier-mâché lantern.
