Chapter 7: The evening self-study of all evils began
In the blink of an eye, crazy crazy is big, now I have been very glad that I grew up in the countryside, although I have encountered very unbelievable things, but I am grateful for the countryside back then, this land let me grow up, enriched my childhood, this childhood is unforgettable for my life, now the countryside can no longer find a piece of clean water to fish for lobsters, now the children will go out at noon to catch dragonflies, catch cicadas? Very little, they will only go to endless cram schools, of course, the times are different, I am an aging post-90s generation. The current town has long been unrecognizable, urbanization has changed the countryside, and it has changed a lot, the pond has long been filled, the house has long been torn down and replaced with fresh blood, and the feeling of the year can no longer be retrieved, but the memory is eternal.
Elementary school was always naΓ―ve, and with the end of the sixth grade, I was promoted to junior high school and started a late self-study career, which lasted until the third year of high school.
There are two roads to the middle school, the big road and the small road, if you want to use a triangle to describe it, the small road is the hypotenuse, the hypotenuse is less than the sum of the other two, so the small road walks during the day, the big road walks at night, the small road lies between the fields, you must walk through a small bridge and a big lake, and the big road is the asphalt road plus a large section of dirt road, the junction of the road and the small road is still about 200 meters away from the grandmother's house, and there is a cemetery in between, that is to say, no matter the big road or the small road will pass by the cemetery. If there is anything bad about the countryside, it is that the cemeteries in many places are too infiltrating, and if there is anything good about the countryside, that is, there are many people living next to the cemetery, which I really admire.
When I was in elementary school, I was blind and had no heart or lungs. I remember the fat aunt in front of my grandmother's house, there is a large slightly raised open space next to her house, close to the wall, the wall is sprinkled with shade on it in the afternoon in summer, everyone is on it to enjoy the coolness, I also dig the soil with my friends on it, play with the house, cut vegetables, and have fun, but during the Qingming Festival, I actually saw several ribbons floating on it, and there must have been a lot of black lines on my head at that time, but the first thing that comes to mind is not how strong we are, but, how strong the fat aunt's family is! They know that this is a tomb, or several people, and they still step on it every day, enjoying the cool and enjoying the cool, how good this mentality is! So I silently decided not to go to the house again, it's too scary! At that time, I was not particularly afraid of the cemetery, because I only went there during the day, and now, I have to pass by at night, so I have all kinds of resentments, but I can't help it, I still have to read the book.
What's even more depressing is that at the end of the dirt road, which is the place where I entered the village, is a professional funeral band, and the room near the highway is also marked with the words "Rent Crystal Coffin", which is bright red and red, so that now I don't want to see that family, which scared me for six years! I broke out in a cold sweat when I thought of a coffin in a room, the coffin was not like a coffin that slept a person before, it was rented, I don't know how much I slept, just thinking about it was not enough. There is a profession in the world that is very profitable, that is, dealing with the dead, how many years has their family been dealing with this thing, when will they not die? So this industry will not be unemployed for a long time in the countryside, and my grandmother said that their family is very rich, so I prayed every day that they would move quickly, and I was disappointed for six years.
Xiao Ming because of his father's relationship, transferred to the county to study, I have since lost a playmate, we have ten classes at the middle school level, no one and I have a class, there are few in the village and my level, Xiao Ming is even less, the rest and I only go to the end of the dirt road, after entering the village, I have to walk through the cemetery alone, at the beginning, a brother from the same village said to take me along, he was in high school for two terms, and bicycles, and we live not far away, of course I am very happy. But it's really inconvenient for different classes, and it's not the same after class, some teachers like to drag the class, which is probably what many students hate, either I wait for him or he waits for me. I'm really afraid of bothering others, and I'm embarrassed to take me with me every day for no reason.
One night, on the way home, I sat behind my brother's car, the night was dark and the wind was high, when I rode to the crystal coffin, I subconsciously closed my eyes and grabbed my brother's clothes, suddenly my brother's car was upside down, I seemed to be dragged down by someone, sitting on the ground and falling painfully, looking at the room, a chill came from my feet.
The bright red characters are so obvious and dazzling in the dark night, I think that behind the wall is the coffin of many dead people who have slept in the mouth, my heart is in my throat, my intuition is that there is something behind me, it was the thing that dragged me off the car just now, the cold hair stood up again, there is really something, what to do, don't touch me! I closed my eyes and didn't dare to look any more, when suddenly my hand was caught, "Ahhh What happened to you? But it hurts? It's all my brother who is not good, just now I don't know why, the car is not stable, where does it hurt? Don't cry, or my dad will scold me. "I'm crying again? What's going on? Why do I cry unconsciously when I encounter this thing now?
When I got home, my grandmother was also scared when she heard about this, and something had already started to drag me, but how to do it. The grandmother immediately went out, came to the backyard, broke off a lot of peach branches, broke them into small pieces and tied them together, put a little on each window, and even tied a handful to the door latch. β
The next day happened to be Saturday, and I gathered a large group of little children to eat peaches at home as the king of children. In front of a large group of our children, the grandmother began to dig the peach pit with a knife, and after a while, he dug out a small basket, took out the peach kernel inside, and then polished it sleek is a very delicate small basket, I saw such a thing for the first time, and now I have seen it on the market, but at that time I was really surprised, our big group of children began to worship the family milk, the family milk gave us a knife, let us do it ourselves, that afternoon we dug out a lot of small baskets, and the family milk was put on the line for us to wear, I hung a small peach pit basket on my hands, feet and neck, and I have been hanging it until now.
After that time, there was a wind blowing in the village to dig peach pits, and every child wore them, and the family milk has always made sense to do things, I asked the family milk for the reason, and the family milk said that the peach tree ward off evil spirits, and the peach branch and peach pit are the same. It is best for children to bring peach pits, and they can also be decorated, so why not let everyone ward off evil spirits together.
In the evening, I saw that the lights were still on in my uncle's medical hall, so I went to see, I hadn't been there for a long time, and it was a sister from the same village, this sister was less white-headed, and she had a lot of white hair in her second year of high school, and her father was also there, her father was already full of white hair, but there were no wrinkles on his face, and it seemed to be genetic. I only heard my uncle say: "Amaranth, no matter what method, eat it every day." "Amaranth? Isn't it the one with the little yellow flower blooming on the side of the road?
The uncle asked, "Does it work?" β
"Keep eating, you can eradicate it." Uncle replied.
The family milk likes to make this to eat, the scientific name of horse amaranth is purslane, and a dish that the family milk often makes is steamed purslane with rice noodles, which tastes sour and fragrant. Purslane is also the most common one, roadside, field can be seen everywhere, the family milk likes to dry purslane, make a dish of steamed pork is very delicious during the New Year, it turns out that this is still a medicine, and it does not cost anything, nature is really full of magic.
After the father and daughter left, the uncle planned to close the hospital and go home.
"Why is Xuanzi here?" He touched my head.
"Come and see my uncle, I haven't had time to play since I was in junior high school."
Uncle smiled, "What's so interesting about the hospital?" How's your eyesight lately? Still drinking that tea? β
"Isn't it that I'm not blind, it's that my night vision ability has improved at night, and I can't say that I have night vision, I can feel it......" I was tilting my head to report the situation, and my uncle suddenly fell headlong.
It's not good, my uncle did it again! No way! I said to myself: Lin Xuan! You have to cheer up! Don't panic! This is in the medical hall, and the medical center is not closed yet! And you can be bumped into by others at any time! Now you're alone! Hurry up and go back and call your grandmother and aunt!
I rushed out quickly, closed the door of the hospital from the outside, and suddenly felt my heart sink, inside was my uncle, he loved me very much, he had suffered so much, he was very weak now, and he needed help from others, how could I bear to leave him alone? No matter how terrible the things inside were, I also had a ghost aura on me, and it was a big deal to fight hard, so I gritted my teeth and reopened the door, and a yin wind blew in my face......
I went in hard, closed the door, my legs were weak, my legs were weak, I almost rushed out again, the cold hair stood up, my uncle was lying there, very helpless, although he was unconscious, but my uncle, he was trembling, his head was shaking, what should I do, I had snake energy on my body, I was not afraid, I walked to the pool and hit a basin of water, while trembling to my uncle and squatted down, I twisted a towel, ready to wipe my uncle's face, when it reached my uncle's face, my uncle's eyes suddenly opened, "Ah-" I sat down on the floor in fright, and the towels were thrown behind me. His eyes still looked like a sharp knife at me, like the first time.
"Uncle......" I tried to call him.
He still stared at me like that, he was not an uncle, what the hell is this thing, it has been pestering my uncle for so long, many masters can't do anything about it. When the grandmother encounters this, they will wait for that thing to go by itself, and then feed some little black blood. What exactly am I going to do? Suddenly my uncle's mouth began to tremble, and he bled after a while, it was really like a sheep's madness, I heard that he would bite off his tongue if he was so strict, this is a medical hall, there are no chopsticks and no cloth, what should I take.
I stood up and looked around, herbs, my uncle's medical hall will always have some simple herbs, no matter what herbs, I opened the lid, grabbed a large handful, rushed to my uncle and broke his mouth and stuffed it inside, "Woo...... Woo...... "Uncle let out an uncomfortable whimper, uncle is sorry, please forgive Xuanzi for his rebellion."
