Doubts and fears hit me, and from the moment I became sensible, I never had the slightest doubt that my mother would lie to me. Ignoring her equally confused and dazed look, I rushed to the door at once, eagerly probing out, my scalp exploded, and there was no figure outside. No, not even a ghost, to be exact.

At this moment, I was shocked, but fortunately, I had returned to my hometown, with my parents by my side, and under the bright lights, I had experienced many strange supernatural things, and I was no longer so afraid.

I know that my parents have always been afraid of me, and at this moment, I feel very guilty about them, and I must not let my poor parents be affected by my own fright. Those five people's grass stage troupe must not be people, otherwise it would not have been possible to suddenly evaporate from the world around me so quietly.

I suppressed the fear in my heart and said to my mother lightly: "Mom, it's okay, I thought of something else, and I blurted out a mistake just now." ”

A big hand was on my shoulder, and without looking back, I felt my father's love for me. He was not good at words, and he was helping me unload my backpack.

As soon as I unloaded my travel bag, I suddenly felt so relaxed, and suddenly found my mother staring at me with her mouth wide open. I was about to speak, but I heard my mother ask in a whisper, "Xiaoxun, what is on your mouth?" Don't move, Mom will help you wipe it clean. ”

What can I have on my mouth? Didn't I fall and get some mud on my mouth when I was running away from those ghosts? What's all the fuss about, I just feel that my mother still loves me as much as she used to and cares about all the details of me.

But my mother's look of surprise told me that what I rubbed off my mouth wasn't dirt. She held a little dark red on her fingers, and said for a long time: "Oh, I'm scared to death, I thought the corners of your mouth were bleeding." Fortunately, there is no bleeding, and my Xiaoxun is not injured. ”

It turned out that I had something dark red on my mouth, which made my mother mistakenly think that I was injured, and that was what shocked her like this. The father said in a sullen voice: "Okay, you two don't talk about this in the hall below, hurry upstairs to talk, so as not to let others find out." ”

My mother nodded, and I was about to go upstairs with them, only to hear my mother whisper again: "Xiaoxun, what are you doing with a candle in your left hand?" ”

When I heard this, my body was shocked, and I quickly looked down, only to see that in the palm of my left hand, I was firmly grasping a candle, and what made me even more frightened was that the candle was broken, and there was a row of clearly visible tooth marks on it.

So, the dark red unidentified object left on my lips is this candle? I also left that tooth mark, doesn't that mean I ate a piece of candle?

The chill and nausea welled up in my heart, this candle was the 'carrot' that the female ghost Wang Xiaoshan gave me to eat tonight when I didn't find any other ghosts. Ghosts and gods eat incense and candles, and I have heard adults say this since I was a child. It seems that Wang Xiaoshan really regarded me as a ghost at that time, and kindly gave me a candle.

I wondered even more that the candle had been held in my hand all this time, and I had run so many laps and fallen again, until I returned to my hometown, the candle had been held tightly in my palm and had never been thrown away. And I didn't notice the existence of this candle at all, but I felt that my left hand was sore all the time, but I didn't realize that the carrot that was tightly held and not discarded was a red candle used to worship the ghosts.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of vomiting, so I quickly left my father and mother, ran into the bathroom, vomited a few times, brushed my teeth, rinsed my mouth and washed my face, and worked hard for a while, and then my mood slowly relaxed.

Upstairs, my mother had already brought me a bowl of hot noodles with a golden-cut egg on top. It seems that while I was washing up just now, my mother quietly prepared this bowl of noodles for me.

I devoured it, and I felt that this bowl of noodles surpassed all the delicacies in the world, and it was the best thing I had ever tasted. When I didn't swallow the last bite, I suddenly noticed that my parents were all staring at me with red eyes.

Seeing that I had almost eaten, my mother sighed, choked up and said, "Xiaoxun, your father and I don't know that you will come back today, and there is nothing to eat at home, so we can only make this bowl of noodles." Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and Mom will prepare many delicious dishes for you. ”

I squeezed out a smile and said, "What's the matter, Mom, this bowl of noodles is delicious, I have a lot of fun." By the way, it's Chinese New Year's Eve today, Mom, you just said that there is nothing to eat at home? It can't be, right? When I was a child, I remember that when it came to Chinese New Year's Eve, there were many delicious foods at home! ”

Mother sighed, wiped her tears and said, "Xiaoxun, this year is no better than in previous years." Fortunately, the government was lenient, saying that we were only accomplices and had meritorious service, so we were only given a suspended sentence and could live a peaceful life at home. All those illegal gains were seized and confiscated by the government, and a large fine was imposed. ”

The father, who had never spoken, said in a muffled voice: "Can't you say a few words less in front of your children?" It is not Xiaoxun who is wrong, he is right, and the mistakes we make must be borne by ourselves. Xiaoxun, Dad doesn't blame you, it is precisely because of your bravery that the village chief Mo Laoda, the village accountant Mo Laoqi and some of their idle personnel were arrested. Your mother and I didn't want to do this unreasonable thing, but we were afraid of their power and had to do it. Well, now everything is free. It's better to live a life of poverty than to do things that violate the law and discipline and hurt nature and reason, right? Xiaoxun, Dad supports you! ”

My mother was still sobbing softly, and I was so moved by my father's words that I couldn't control my tears, and in order to hide my embarrassment, I stepped forward and hugged my father tightly.

The mother got up and walked to the cupboard, leaned down, and groped carefully under the counter. Seeing her strange behavior, I asked suspiciously, "Mom, what are you doing?" ”

The mother did not answer, but still groped underneath. After a long time, she straightened up and came to her side with a happy smile. In her mother's hand, there was an extra piece wrapped in an old newspaper, which looked like money in shape.

Sure enough, my mother stuffed the bag of things into my hand, exhaled, and said happily as if she had finished a big matter: "Xiaoxun, this is a sum of money that I saved by saving money when your father and you used to do other businesses. Don't worry, this money is absolutely clean, you take this money and leave Mojia Village quickly. Because of your denunciation, many families in the village have been implicated. Not everyone thinks the same way as your father, those who are used to enjoying and can't endure hardship, and those whose relatives have been arrested, they hate you in their hearts. Mom was afraid that you would be retaliated against by others for staying in the village, so after discussing with your father, she decided to let you take the money and live outside. ”

My mother's words confirmed my original suspicion that human greed would lead many people to have a bad conscience, and when they lost something, they would develop a sense of hatred.

This was something I had expected a long time ago, and it was also a big reason why I was so reluctant to return to my hometown. But now, although my mother's words confirmed my thoughts, I no longer feel uneasy. Having the understanding of my parents made me feel that I was not at fault in the choice I made because of my conscience, which was my greatest comfort and lifted a heavy burden on my heart.

I held the wad of money in my hand, and in terms of thickness and weight, I estimated that it should be as much as 50,000 yuan. I said movingly: "Dad, Mom, Xiaoxun listen to your words and use this money to go out for a while." Don't worry, I'll be back. I believe that the people in the village will eventually wake up after being educated and promoted. When I come back, the people in the village will not hate me. ”

My parents smiled happily at the same time, and I continued, "Mom, Dad, I don't want so much money. Because of me, this home has not yet had a New Year's atmosphere on Chinese New Year's Eve. I will leave half of the money, don't treat yourself badly, when you are older, buy more nutritious things to replenish your body, and wait for the day when Xiaoxun comes home, I hope you two are healthy and happy. ”

My parents insisted on refusing, especially my father's words, so that I finally had to listen to their advice. My father believed that the money was clean and had nothing to do with the production and sale of counterfeit medicines. If I keep it for them, it will be like discrediting them, because my parents have lost almost all of their savings except for this money.

His father said that although he and his mother were living in poverty, they were not in debt. He and his mother's conscience was relieved, and from then on he could start his business again with his own hard work, and he wanted to accumulate wealth again with hard work and sweat, waiting for me to return. He also said that this clean money must be left for his son, who insists on justice and conscience, and that he and his mother are proud of me.

My mother hugged me and sobbed softly, and I began to cry lowly, but this cry, I felt that my tears were full of happiness. I peeked at my father, who had always been silent, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.

This night was a night of my sweet and solid sleep. When I woke up the next morning, I found my parents sitting silently in front of my bed looking at me.

After washing up, and having eaten the sumptuous breakfast my mother had prepared for me, I knew that the time had come for me to flow again. After saying goodbye to my parents, I wiped the tears from my eyes, held my head high, and strode towards the hill behind the village.

I don't want to take the main road because I don't want to meet the villagers and cause unnecessary trouble, and there are still many doubts in my heart, and I want to follow the road last night to the place where the ghost show is sung.

Because of the relief in my heart, and the fact that it was daylight, and the sound of firecrackers everywhere, I could say that there was almost no fear in my heart at the moment.
