We rang the doorbell, and the door opened, and it was a woman in her thirties, she was definitely dressed in a small town, she was hairy, and the family should be very rich.

She didn't let us in, and the study committee member spoke, "Auntie, we really want to go and see, Pei Feng is our squad leader, and we want to know his situation." ”

She still smiled gently, "I'm sorry, junior classmates, Pei Feng is really uncomfortable, and it will disturb him when we meet now." After speaking, she looked at me next to her: "You can go back too." Next time I have the opportunity to play. "What do you want me to go back too? Auntie knows me? I haven't seen you! Everyone looked at me with gossipy eyes, hey, hey, I really haven't been here! I was wronged!

"Anyway, Auntie, you can't even let us in the door." I was a little disappointed.

The woman smiled again, "Actually, Pei Feng is not at home, Pei Feng has moved to another place." "Why didn't you say it earlier when you weren't at home, I don't believe it. I licked the corners of my lips, and the room instantly lit up, and it was clear that there were many people in the house! How could there be so many people in Pei Feng's family? What are you doing?

On the way home, I kept thinking that Pei Feng's family must have secrets, not only him, but the entire family has secrets, if I don't figure it out, I will definitely not feel at ease during the New Year, so I turned back.

When I approached Pei Feng's house, it was almost noon, and if those people didn't stay for lunch, they would come out, but it was not easy for so many people to stay and eat. I hid behind a pillar next to his house and squatted, anyway, my grandmother didn't think much about me when she didn't go back, probably thinking that I was eating at my fellow students. When the light in the room began to move like a doorman, I looked at my watch, and at half-past eleven, I sure enough, I would not stay to eat. When people were about to come out, I ran to the corner and heard someone say, "What a chance." ”

"Yes! It's a great time! ”

"Once in a century! Seize the opportunity and you've succeeded! ”

"It hasn't been delivered yet, not necessarily."

"Everyone, walk slowly! We'll talk about that another day. "I heard this last sentence, it was Pei Feng's mother, that woman......

When everyone is gone, I take back my tongue, Pei Feng is indeed not at home, is he still in the hospital? I don't know what kind of illness I have, I'm really anxious. It's not a way to guess like this, after all, parents don't want to say, wait until school starts to see. Since you have time to come out, then take a look at the person who went to the ghost gate and let him mention it. But...... Wait, I seem to have forgotten something, I, I forgot to ask for the address! So I went back dejected, and got nothing.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, after breakfast, the family grandmother and her aunt made the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was still eaten at the home grandmother's house. My uncle and I and Nong Mo were in charge of all the Spring Festival couplets of the two families. Paste the Spring Festival first, and the rest of the house can be arranged before twelve o'clock on Chinese New Year's Eve. Every year, we will cut a super large piece of red paper into many small squares, about the size of a paper crane, which can be pasted everywhere, just to celebrate. We don't use transparent glue or commercially available paste, but the paste cooked in our own pot, which is served in a jar after cooking, and then tied with a handful of straw as a brush.

After pasting the Spring Festival couplets is the time to play freely, first of all, of course, my red notice, this must be pasted, by the way, it means that the lower teeth bloom. The second is to paste the little red paper, the little red paper should be pasted all over the place in the house, pay attention, it is all the places, now think about it, this custom is invented by people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, rice bowls, flat poles, wells, tables, trees, as long as it can be seen, I will go and paste a piece.

The huge project lasted until noon, and every time the decoration was being gleefully decorated, firecrackers began to be set off outside. Children are anxious, and when they hear that someone else's house is eating, they must be anxious. Chinese New Year's Eve DinnerChinese New Year's Eve Dinner, our custom here is to eat from day to night, no lunch at noon, just drink some chicken soup to fill the stomach, and some people's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is made quickly, catching up with noon. As long as there are firecrackers outside, every household will call people to come over to eat, I am always the representative of the family, go out to eat a circle, and wait until the family is well, and then bring someone back to eat.

This time, I went to rub rice with Nong Mo, and after eating a circle, I was full, and when my Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was ready, I and Nong Mo were touching our stomachs and staring at each other. Aunt Li said with a smile while picking up vegetables: "Yo, today is Miss Xuan's birthday!" How are you going to celebrate at home? "I cried, and finally someone remembered.

The grandmother said, "Xuanzi is not a birthday." ”

I was lost and bit my chopsticks, "Hmm. "It's not a taste in my heart, no matter how bad the days are, children are rare birthdays.

Thick ink poked me next to me, I glanced at him, why do you want to comfort me? No need, he lowered his head and whispered, "You deserve it." "I, ahhhhh If it weren't for the Chinese New Year, if there weren't so many people, I would have exploded! Is there any humanity? My good mood is gone. After the meal, my grandmother called me to the kitchen and said, "This is longevity noodles and red eggs, Xuanzi, my grandmother also knows that I have wronged you." I was so happy, how could my grandmother not remember my birthday, and the grandmother shouted outside, "Thick ink, come into the kitchen." "Hmph, let me see, my grandmother hurts me! I held the noodles in my hand, and the good mood returned. After thick ink came in, the grandmother also brought out a bowl from the pot that had already been prepared, noodles and red eggs......

I ate a few bites quite depressed, and my stomach was really full, so I put it down and prepared to eat it again when it was hot in the evening. After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and getting dark, the two indicators are completed, and it is time to sacrifice and burn paper money. I'm really afraid of this hour, I don't know that there are a pair of lonely ghosts outside, and fortunately I can't see all of them, otherwise it would be a tragedy. Women are not allowed to participate in ancestor worship, but our family broke this rule. I can go, and despite my special constitution, I have never seen my ancestors at the ancestral table.

When I was a child, I heard that some children could see their ancestors when they worshipped their ancestors, but in the end they all had some mental problems. That's why we don't let too young children be present here to avoid tragedy. I don't remember how old I was allowed to be there, but I remember when I was very young, my family didn't let me be there, so I went to other people's houses with my friends to watch, and I didn't see anything, and my grandmother didn't let me deliberately avoid it when she knew.

This time to worship the ancestors, thick ink also followed. The first is to light the family lantern, every family in this town has a lantern, and the family name will be written on it, and the family name of my mother's family is Xiao, when we carry the bright lantern on the road, there are all kinds of lanterns outside, and everyone is taking their ancestors home.

Because the ancestors are several generations, the burial place must be different, and it is not necessary to go to the grave to pick up the ancestors. The place we chose was an open space, I was carrying a lantern, and I wouldn't be particularly scared at this time, but I was just a little hairy in my heart, and I didn't have a sense of zài at all if I didn't speak, I kept hypnotizing myself, there weren't so many things walking around me, but there would still be a lot of typical examples constantly playing back in my head. For example, when a family worships their ancestors, the family is showing respect to a table full of dishes next to them, and the little grandson on the side suddenly exclaims, "There are so many rats eating on the table!" The family was terrified, how could it be a rat? It is also said that when worshipping ancestors, children under the age of seven can see their ancestors when they kneel at the door with their shoes on their heads, and a child does so, but all they see are ghosts with their hair scattered, and they are stupid, no matter whether it is true or not, no one will dare to try it in the future. I was thinking about it when I was suddenly slapped on the back, and my soul flew halfway.

"Hey, you don't know that people can be scared to death!" I yelled at the thick ink.

Thick ink said, "What? When did I scare you? "That's just ...... Yes!!! I swooped in front of Thick Ink, and the position between Thick Ink and my uncle was the safest.

"I'm just greeting you." There was a thick voice from behind, okay, it's really him! I was about to go back to him, but my uncle had already picked up the branch and drew circles on the ground. If you want to burn paper money for a few ancestors, you have to draw a few circles, and my grandmother said that I want to draw circles in order to prevent other ghosts from snatching them, and after my uncle finished drawing all the circles, he opened the bag he brought, took out all the paper money, and ingots or something, and then lit a fire, and chanted next to each circle while burning: "XXX, come and collect money." ”

The uncle picked out a little burning paper from the fire with a stick and put it aside. The grandmother said that this was for passing ghosts, because some ghosts' family members or descendants did not burn anything, so they were poorer and pitiful like beggars, and they should be comforted when burning paper. The wind blew, blowing the red paper that was burning and the paper that had been burned into black charcoal, and the fine pieces were flying all over the sky, and the air was really not very good.

There are a lot of people burning paper in the wild, because there are many lanterns lit, and the ones in the distance look like ghost fires. The paper is almost burned, the ancestors also take the money happily, it's time to take it home for New Year's dinner, the uncle's mouth shouted the name of the ancestor, such as so-and-so old lady, we call the older generation than the grandmother called the old lady, divided into the bearded old lady and the old woman, etc., I took the lantern in front of the way, the uncle was chatting with them, the thick ink here still has the effect of courage, I pulled the thick ink together. The lanterns in the past were really made of candles, and when the wind blew, I was afraid that the fire would blow onto the wall of the lantern, and if it burned, something would happen, and there were a lot of ghost ancestors behind me, and I was terrified all the way.

When I got to the door, my uncle asked me to hang the lantern next to the door, and I hung it happily, it was good not to have to carry a time bomb, and the advantage of being tall was that I didn't have to trouble adults. Dishes and bowls and glasses full of wine are already set on the round table at home, and everyone in the house is to get out of the way, and we are to keep quiet while they eat.

After a while, the uncle added wine to each wine glass, and said as he poured it, "You all eat well, eat slowly." "The wine will be less and then added in the whole process, and usually the wine and food they have eaten will really not have any wine and aroma at all, and it is said that they eat the taste. I felt a little bored standing and watching the air, so I wanted to walk around, the aisle of our house was not very wide, and there was a row of people standing in the aisle, so I had to walk a little to the table, but I didn't pay attention to the leg of the stool that stretched out, and my foot stumbled, and the whole person fell to the other side of the table.

Thick ink eyes quickly grabbed one of my hands, but at the same time there was another hand that grabbed my other arm, a hand like a withered branch, dark green claws, and raised meridians, I suddenly trembled all over, screaming and almost breaking out of my throat, looking at thick ink in horror, and there was also consternation written in thick ink's eyes, obviously he also saw the claws on my other hand, and even ...... He also saw a whole or a group of ...... He covered my mouth with one hand, and with the other he was already pulling me over. I didn't expect him to be so strong that my chin hit his forehead, and I gasped in pain, and the hand on my other arm was released with the pull. He took the opportunity to drag me out the door and dropped a sentence, "Let's go out for a while." ”

"Children are reckless." The house grandmother whispered in the back.

I rubbed my chin that was almost dislocated, and rubbed his forehead with thick ink, it was so scary just now, I fantasized many times that I could see my ancestors, but I really had to be in it, I was absolutely scared, I was really afraid, what would I see if I turned back? I don't know if the thick ink has seen it.

"Thank you just now, thick ink, did you see what was behind me?"

His voice was still cold, "How can there be such a stupid snake demon, you weren't so stupid in your previous life!" ”

It's this tone again, and I have to ask why I can't get along with me: "If there is any grudge between us, you sue me, I can't be so hated by you when I don't know anything." ”

He looked at me with disgust in his eyes, "I hate that I can't get rid of you." ”

"What happened to my past life? Did the snake do something? Besides, that's not my past life, I don't know anything. He didn't bother with me, turned and walked away. I bent down and picked up a pebble and threw it, and he dodged it, and when I threw it again, he easily dodged it. The old man also taught him the ability to perceive?

I was smashing my breath when suddenly a group of people walked past me quickly, dressed in black clothes, like ...... It's like a shroud! I was so frightened that I couldn't move, could it be that which family completed the ancestor worship? One of them looked at me as they walked past me, and they looked more like people, just expressionless and with messy hair, really the same as they had heard before! But...... I just saw the ghost smile at me. I immediately had a feeling of prostration, I felt like I was a tree, I was going to be rooted in the soil, I was going to be buried in the soil. It's so cold outside in winter that only the dirt is warm. Suddenly a cloth was over my eyes, and someone was tightening the cloth behind my head, and I came back to my senses.

I only heard the thick ink whisper in my ear: "Come home with me." ”

I was dragged home by the thick ink, during which I stuck out my tongue countless times to discern the direction, but the thick ink retracted it with a scold, I couldn't restrain it, and I didn't mean to.

When I got home, I hadn't removed the cloth from my eyes, and I heard my grandmother ask worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”

Thick Mo replied: "Grandma, it's okay, we just made a bet, and if she loses the bet, she will come back like this." "Thick ink brought me to the room before taking the cloth, my eyes finally brightened, what I just encountered, thick ink also saw, did I almost win the bid? The head is still a little dizzy, thick ink took out a small bottle from his pocket, also wrapped in red cloth, last time I was scolded by him because of a similar bottle, think about it, he opened the bottle carefully, poured out a little transparent water from it, dotted it in the palm of his hand, and then walked over to me, is it for me? What are you doing?

He came up to me and said, "Sit down!" "Why do I sit down? I won't sit!

He glared at me, "You sit down." I glared back, and if I was not mistaken, he seemed to grind his teeth, "How can I get to your head if you don't sit down?" I was dumbfounded, I sat on the bed, he slapped my forehead with a palm, the cool liquid seemed to seep into the brain, and the shot was very heavy, this is definitely revenge! But why am I so much better than I was dizzy......
