Chapter Twenty-Seven: Back to the Past

I was overwhelmed by the déjà vu it was so familiar. It was as if I had gone through a reincarnation, and I had come full circle in this reincarnation, and suddenly I had returned to the original www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion. But in the past, I saw the loach change its face, but today I haven't encountered this kind of thing; In the past, the "today" grandson was knocked unconscious and disappeared, but now the grandson is killed by me, this role that should have been played by Gro Pot has now become me!

I kept beating the drum in my heart, which one was real? Is the world in the old forest in the winter illusory, or is the current world illusory? Which one should I be sure of?

If the current world is true, then I am a real living person, and I will never have to go back to that terrifying world where evil is rampant, and I will no longer have to fight with old ghosts every day; But I will always be charged with murder, and it is two lives, including my dearest companion, and I am afraid that I will live in the shadows for the rest of my life.

If the winter world is real, then the current qiē will be an illusion, I didn't kill my grandson, I am still the innocent and kind pockmark, but I have now been killed by the Garrow pot and become a lonely ghost; But this woman standing in front of me will be an illusion, and I will never see my mother again, or even have a chance to be alive again.

My heart was filled with endless grievances and panic, and when I saw my mother close at hand, I threw myself into her arms, and tears poured out of my snot and tears.

My mother was very surprised when she saw me, and said while comforting,

"What's the matter, who bullied you?"

I suddenly remembered that in the past "today", I was frightened by the loach's changing face, and ran into the house crying and shouting, and my mother asked me the same thing. If memory serves, my mother's next move will be to spank me, which seems to be hard but is actually distressing.

Sure enough, my mother saw that I was silent for a long time, slapped my ass a few times, and said,

"If you know how to cry, you know how to cry!"

I let her slap and suddenly realized that I hadn't had this treatment in a long time. I was so accustomed to the love given by my mother, until I lost it for a long time, I realized that these seemingly sparse and ordinary small things were so warm, so hard-won, I couldn't hold it anymore, tears were like opening the floodgates, and they rushed out, I indulged my inner emotions to the fullest, and I took three or four breaths before I held back a sentence,

"Mom! I miss you so much! ”

My mother made me stunned by this. For as long as I can remember, I don't seem to have expressed anything to her, and I don't know what her birthday is, let alone when Mother's Day is, as if her dedication to this family is justified, and my father's laziness is understandable. My sudden words made her a little overwhelmed, she sneered, touched my head and said,

"My son has grown up!"

After that, a stream of tears welled up in my mother's eyes, and they rolled down when she saw it, but she turned her head away, for fear that I would see her crying. This is a very strong woodland woman, and for as long as I can remember, she has been taller in my heart than my father. I haven't seen her cry a few times, every time I cry because of my father, because of my disobedience, this woman has not felt anything gentle and considerate, since coming to this home is to blindly bow her head, silently pay, this time, is the first time I saw her because of the heart of the moved tears left.

My mother wiped her tears a few times with her back to me, turned her head to me and squeezed a smile, and said,

"I know Tao every day, hurry up and go into the house to change into dry clothes!"

"Mom, what's real?" I suddenly asked,

"What's that?" My mom didn't seem to understand what I was saying.

"Are there ghosts in the world?" I asked again,

"What do you bear kid think about every day! Ghosts and gods, hurry up and change your clothes! ”

My mom didn't understand why I asked this question, and she didn't know how to answer me, in her eyes, I just went out to catch fish in the middle of the day and ran back in the afternoon, and maybe the whole Eternal Forest Farm didn't know about it, only I understood. I didn't ask any more questions, and at my mother's request, I went back to the house. All afternoon, I didn't think about the old ghost anymore, and I didn't want to care about this treacherous encounter anymore, as long as my mother was by my side, it was enough. I'm like an eighty-year-old man who feels like I've earned one more day. Or, this is really God giving me another chance, if so, I must hold on to it, and I never want to lose my mother again, and I never want to lose this warm world again.

Gradually, it got dark, and the door of my house opened.

"Oh, his eldest brother Sun, sister-in-law Sun is here!" My mother greets you.

My heart, which had just calmed down, suddenly became shocked, and the hairs on my whole body seemed to stand up. This scene is exactly the same as the night my grandson disappeared, even my mother's words are word-for-word! If I'm not mistaken, grandchildren will say,

"Is Sun Chi with your kid?"

"Is Sun Chi with your kid?" I didn't even guess a punctuation mark wrong.

"No, my pockmarks have been at home for an afternoon, and I haven't seen your boy." My mother said,

I felt like I was on the verge of collapse, wondering why my world had become the way it was. I used to always fantasize about how good I should be able to predict the future, but now that this wish has come true by mistake, I broke out in a cold sweat, and my heart was terrified.

"It can't be! I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill anyone! How can I kill! ”

The grandson and father didn't say much to my mother, and went directly into the back room. I sat on the eaves of the kang and was weird, I didn't dare to look at them with my head down, my grandson frowned, stared at me directly, didn't speak for a long time, as if I was thinking about something, my grandson couldn't help but speak,

"Mazi, you didn't go with my son to catch fish, why hasn't he come back yet?"

I was so frightened and anxious that I couldn't speak. The couple pondered about me, especially the grandson's father, as if they were going to see through my secret in the next second, and I stammered out a few words,

"That, there are strange faces in the river, and the loaches have changed, which is very scary, I, I ran away, and he didn't go with me."

I attributed the disappearance of my grandson to the strange-faced loach, but this happened in the past "today", and I never want to admit that it was my grandson who was stoned to death. I didn't say anything more, even if my grandson's father and mother interrogated me like crazy, I didn't say anything, I barely managed to cope with such a dilemma, I would never tell the whole story on the way to find my grandson like I did in the past "today".

I thought, the next step should be to organize everyone to find their grandson, I seem to have entered a new cycle, a cycle of continuous cycles, even who put a fart is constantly circulating, and even the length of this fart is exactly the same, but in this new cycle, the murderer has changed from Gro pot to me.

Thinking that the corpse of that grandson should be under the crooked neck tree, how can I have the courage to follow the crowd to find him, let alone see his white face soaked in the river. The whole village went out, I insisted on staying at home, my mother wanted to stay at home with me, but Gro Guo insisted that she go out together.

By this time, it was completely dark.

I sat alone on the kang eaves, at a loss.

At that time, every house was a large brick house with a woodcarved flute roof, a big house, a small house, and a stove room connecting the big house and the cottage, which was similar to our current two-bedroom house, but there was no living room. Between the big house and the hut is a large piece of glass, and there are kang on both sides of the glass, through which you can see the other room at a glance.

Occasionally, a few shouts could be heard outside, but the voices faded away, and the people must now be running for the crooked neck tree.

The family's house suddenly seemed empty.

At some point, I noticed that the temperature in the room had dropped for no apparent reason, and I didn't see the wind outside, the two windows were quietly open, and the curtains hung in one corner, as if waiting for something to come in. I shuddered, a sneeze burst out, and before I could come back to my senses, through the glass between the two rooms, I saw a figure suddenly walking through the big room!

It was an emaciated figure, leaning sideways, two steps out of my sight, as if it had turned its head to look at me. I suddenly felt my scalp numb, my eyes blackened, and there was no light in the room, so I crawled to the kang head, pouting and groping for candles with my eyes blind. My mother usually puts matchboxes and candles on the kang, so that the matches can be kept dry after long-term heat, and they can be swiped with a stroke. I scratched and pulled on the kang a few times, and finally touched it.

At this time, there were a few hurried footsteps in the big house, as if I wanted to run out of the door, but suddenly stopped. I stayed there, overwhelmed, in this dark room, I couldn't see anything, the figure that passed by was no longer visible.

"Knock-knock-knock"

The sound of footsteps creaking on the wooden floor was clearly coming towards me, gradually approaching.

The door to the hut is open!

A few rays of moonlight streamed through the crack in the door, and a dark shadow was clearly reflected in the moonlight, standing motionless in front of me.

"Who are you?" I swallowed and squeezed the last of my courage to say this.

The man didn't say a word, but he suddenly bent down and stared down at me, as if his forehead was about to hit my face.

"Spring"

"Summer"

"Autumn"

"Winter"

The figure on the other side uttered these four big words, and at the same time, I struck a match, and the hut finally lit up, and I was shocked to see a bloody and blurred face staring at me.
