Chapter 19: The Dream Man

The next morning, I had nothing to do, I went out and around alone, I hadn't been back here for several years, and in previous years my parents had been picking up my grandparents and going to them for the New Year, and I found that everything in this little village seemed to be quietly changing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The big trees at the entrance of the village are no longer so upright; The water in the creek is no longer so clear; And the mountains not far away have also changed from the original crisp to desolate. Even the trees in the grove that we used to go to when we were young seemed to have become a lot thinner.

I decided to go up the mountain and have a look, wondering if it was still the same as it used to be? I wonder if there are any more critters?

As I walked towards the mountain, I heard the sound of children frolicking not far away, when a firecracker exploded behind me, and I looked back to see that a group of children were setting off firecrackers.

At this time, I saw a slender girl, walked into the yard of my house, and seemed to be the same age as me, and I immediately mentioned my curiosity, I basically knew people of the same age in the village, but this girl seemed to have never seen her, and I thought that she should go to relatives.

I decided to go home first and see who it was. As soon as I entered, I saw my grandmother feeding the chickens in the yard, and I asked my grandmother, "Grandma, do we have a guest?" ”

My grandmother looked up at me and looked surprised and said, "You're not going to say it?" Why did you come back so soon? No one is here in our house? ”

I didn't believe it, thinking she was teasing me, so I went into the house and looked around, and sure enough, there was no one! Am I dazzled?

Suddenly it occurred to me, what the hell can't it be, right? I walked around the house and outside the house, but I still didn't find anything, and my heart began to wonder, is it a passing ghost, or am I looking at it wrong?

At this time, I heard the grandmother in the yard call me in a very happy tone: "Da Chuan'er, you go to the kitchen and get a bone, we have a little guest!" ”

As soon as I heard it, little guest, I was very excited, could it be the girl just now? I ran out into the yard excitedly and saw my grandmother squatting on the ground, teasing a big yellow dog.

My grandmother asked me a little anxiously, "Tell you to bring the bones, where are the bones?" ”

I walked into the kitchen in a daze, took a piece of bone that I hadn't eaten two days ago, and went back to the yard and handed it to my grandmother. ”

My grandmother told me, "This is called the pig to be poor, the dog to be rich, and the cat to be covered with a white cloth!" The dog is coming, which proves that our family will be developed next year! ”

The big yellow dog doesn't know where it came from, since it came to my house, it has been relying on refusing to leave, completely as its own home, my family has always kept it, but it is very well-behaved, taking care of the home, all responsible. My grandmother named it Rifle.

In the days that followed, my grandmother's words were confirmed, my family's life was getting better and better, and I made a lot of money because of some things.

I went home and tossed around, and I didn't have the heart to go to the mountains again, so I took off my coat and prepared to catch up on sleep.

I lay in bed, and after a while, I seemed to be asleep, and in a groggy state, I seemed to see the girl again.

I saw her walking around my home, her steps were light, her face was full of smiles, as if she was happy, her long hair hung down behind her, and her hair swayed from side to side with every step, which was very beautiful.

She looked back at me with a smile and said, "Are you awake?" ”

I nodded, got out of bed, and asked, "Are you?" ”

She giggled and walked up to me, "You're Okawa!" I'm a relative of your family, and we met you when you were young! My name is Hu Shanshan. ”

I hurried to pour water for her, I looked outside the yard, but I didn't see my grandmother, even my grandfather, who was drinking tea, didn't know where he went.

She continued: "I haven't been to your house for several years, I don't know if everything has been okay in your house for the past few years? ”

Her expression and tone of voice were very mature and steady, not at all like seventeen or eighteen years old, and I told her that everything was fine in my family.

But I'm still a little curious, why did I see her come in just now, and when I came back, she was gone?

I told her my doubts, and she only vaguely said that there was something going out at that time, but I was not satisfied with her answer, who would come to the door, and they would come separately twice?

She looked at the chicken that I hadn't eaten last night, and seemed to swallow, she looked about my age, so I asked her directly, "Are you hungry?" ”

She nodded and said, "Yes, but I've been a vegetarian lately, so it would be nice to have some fruit!" ”

I brought her a plate of fruit and sat down across from her, and she was fine, not polite at all, and devoured it.

I opened my mouth and asked her, "You said that you are a relative of my family, but whose family is that?" "Because I thought about it for a while, I don't have any relatives in my family with the surname Hu, so I can't help but be a little curious.

She was nibbling on an apple, wiping her mouth with her hands, looking at me with big round eyes, and said solemnly: "I am your grandfather's cousin, you have to call me a grandmother for life!" After speaking, he raised his little face and snorted.

Grandma? How come I haven't heard of such a person?

Then she looked at me again and said, "I am, come to your house to see, I'm relieved to see that you are all doing well, I'll go first!" He stood up and was about to go out.

I stopped her: "You, don't you wait for my family to come back?" ”

She shook her head and said, "Don't wait, I happened to come back recently to deal with some things, and I live near here, I'll come back to you when I have time!" After saying that, he chuckled, turned around and went out.

I wandered around the house idle, wondering where my grandparents had gone. Then I heard someone calling my name, "Okawa!" Time to eat! ”

I woke up suddenly, and then I realized that I was still lying in bed, and what had just happened was just a dream. But how real is it? I quickly got up to see my grandmother, she didn't look like she had come back from outside, was she really just dreaming? The big yellow dog in the yard also squatted at the feet of grandma.

I asked, "Grandma, do you have any relatives in our family who were girls who died when they were seventeen or eighteen years old?" ”

I had a vague feeling that what I had just happened might be more than just an ordinary dream......

I picked up an orange on the table and put it in my mouth, and suddenly something seemed to be connected to my head, this plate of fruit, wasn't it the plate I served to Hu Shanshan in my dream? Did I really sleepwalk to serve fruit?

When the orange came into my mouth, it was dry and tasteless, and it was so unpalatable that I quickly spit it out, but fortunately it was not seen by my grandmother.

My grandmother asked me, "Why do you want to ask this?" Your grandfather seems to have an aunt, who is not that age, and I don't know the specifics, so you can ask your grandfather in a while! ”

My grandfather was sitting in the living room, watching TV and drinking tea, and I leaned up to my grandfather and asked him, "Grandpa, I heard that I have a grandmother who didn't have one when I was sixteen or seventeen years old?" I seem to be dreaming of her! ”

My grandfather looked at me and told me a story about my grandmother......

Grandpa said that he only knew that her nickname was Xiaorong, and she was the sister of my grandfather's mother, and this child was born very big and beautiful.

It was the twenties of the last century, the warlords were divided, the north and the south were not in harmony, the upright and chaotic times, Xiaorong's family conditions were more difficult, but she was very smart and kind, that day was the temple fair, Xiaorong and her sister went to the temple to pray for blessings and burn incense.

As soon as he came out of the temple gate, Xiao Rong inadvertently bumped into a man, who was well-dressed, and looked like a child from a big family, and the man apologized politely.

The man said that he wanted to invite the two sisters of Xiaorong to drink tea to make amends, and his smile was very happy, and while talking and laughing, Xiaorong knew that the man's name was Du Jia, and he was the eldest son of the Du family who was in the cloth business in the city.

Du Jia talked humorously and behaved extraordinarily, it was Cardamom who appeared at that time, and he immediately fell in love with the man, and soon the two swore an alliance.

After half a year, Xiao Rong watched her sisters get married one by one, thinking that she would be able to marry Du Jia one day, and she was very happy.

A few days later, Xiao Rong found Du Jia and asked him when he would come to the house to propose, Du Jia agreed, and said that in a few days, find a matchmaker, and come like Xiao Rong to propose, Xiao Rong happily waited for Du Jia's news at home every day.

But half a month later, Du Jia told Xiao Rong that his father did not agree to this marriage, and introduced him to another young lady who was a good person.

Although Xiao Rong was moved by Du Jia's sincerity, he also knew that his father's order could not be violated, Xiao Rong told Du Jia with tears in his eyes, otherwise he would marry that young lady......

After that, Xiaorong planned to never see Du Jia again, but Du Jia came to the door every day.

One day, Du Jia told Xiao Rong that he had thought of a foolproof plan, as long as Xiao Rong had the flesh and blood of the Du family, his father would not say anything more.

Although Xiao Rong felt that it was inappropriate, she really didn't want to be separated from him, so she had to agree, and after that, Du Jia came to Xiao Rong every few days to avoid others and do Zhou Gong's ceremony with her.

A few months later, Xiao Rong found out about the abnormality of his body, happily found Du Jia, and told him that he had their Du Jia's flesh and blood, Du Jia was also very happy, and said that he would tell his father to come to her house to propose marriage.

But after a few months, Xiao Rong didn't go to Du Jia again, Du Jia shirked everything, Xiao Rong saw that his belly was getting bigger and bigger, and he was about to be unable to hide his family, so he had to tell his father.

Xiao Rong's father was furious when he heard this, and wanted to take his daughter to Du's family to theorize.

After arriving at Du's house, they were received by a gorgeously dressed woman, who told Xiaorong's father and daughter that she was the wife of Du Jiaming Media and had been married for several years.

It turned out that Du Jia was cheating on Xiaorong, not only had he already married, but he even had two sons.

Xiao Rong was heartbroken, and after returning home, the salt and rice did not eat for a few days, and his father almost cried blind because of this, and Xiao Rong finally decided to give birth to the child.

After the child was born, she came to Du's house with her daughter who was only a few days old, Du Jia finally appeared, he snatched the child in Xiaorong's arms, completely lost his former elegance, and scolded angrily, "What do you think you are!" I can sleep with you, it's to give you face! ”

Xiaorong told him that he could have no name and only hoped that the child could be happy.

Who knows, the beast is not as good as the vacation, in front of Xiaorong, the child fell to the ground, the child only cried twice, and then stopped breathing.

Xiao Rong pounced on Du Jia and tore at him, questioning him, Tiger Venom still doesn't eat children, your biological daughter, why did you do it?

Du Jia told her coldly: "My Du family has never needed a daughter!" After speaking, he called someone and blew away Xiao Rong.

Xiaorong, who lost her child, had no hope of living, she walked alone into the mountains, found a tree with a crooked neck, and learned about her young life.

Hearing this, I couldn't believe it, the Hu Shanshan in my dream, Xiao Rong and cheerful, didn't look like a woman who had gone through so many hardships at all, but time has passed, and the story has been passed down from generation to generation, and it may change slightly......

I sat next to my grandfather and remembered the girl in my dream just now, she was so bright and lively, not at all like an ordinary female ghost.

At this time, my mobile phone rang, I picked it up and saw that it was Liu Yu!

Liu Yu chatted with me for a few words, and asked me when I would return to Harbin after the Chinese New Year, he was really bored these days, and I told him that he might have to wait for the fifteenth.

Suddenly I remembered that Liu Yu might be able to explain to me why the girl in my dream would be different from ordinary female ghosts, so I told him all the previous things.

Liu Yu on the other end of the phone said, "Are you sure that what you saw is the same person as your grandfather?" ”

Actually, I'm not sure, after all, it feels a lot worse.

Liu Yu said that there are many forms after death, and ordinary ghosts retain the appearance of when they died, if they are not the appearance when they died, they may have undergone cultivation after death, and they can return to the same appearance as a normal person before their death.

However, he also told me that at this time, many mountain spirits and wild immortals have also returned to the cave, and maybe it is a mountain and wild fairy, just trying to trick something to eat, since the one in my dream only eats fruits, it may be that he has cultivated a certain Taoism and no longer eats meat! If an animal with fur and horns wants to cultivate into an immortal, oral desire is a big difficulty.

I asked him, "How likely are you that she is really my grandmother?" ”

Liu Yu thought for a while and said: "It's very small, it's been almost a hundred years since your grandmother passed away, even if she hasn't been reincarnated, she shouldn't come to see you when she comes home to visit her juniors!" But since she only came to eat something and left, there must be no malice, so don't worry too much! ”

Liu Yu's words woke me up, I don't care who she is, I'll ask carefully next time, if I don't come again, I don't have to care too much!

After dinner, my grandmother said that she wanted to go to Mrs. Chen's house, and I remembered that last time she said that she wanted me to have time to visit her, so I decided to go with my grandmother.
