Chapter 29: The Origin of the Dream (2)
When Li Muyu woke up again, he was already on the bed in his old house, surrounded by bursts of burning wormwood, mixed with another strange smell, which made Li Muyu cough a few times involuntarily.
Li Muyu didn't remember what happened, Li Muyu just knew that he was really frightened at the time, squatting under the tombstone and crying, and then Li Muyu smelled a pungent smell, as for what happened later, Li Muyu no longer remembers.
Li Muyu opened his eyes and looked around, this is the old house is his grandfather's house, and this bed is also his grandfather's bed. Because Li Muyu kept turning his head, the watery white towel on his head fell off. Seeing that the towel fell to the ground, Li Muyu naturally reached out to pick up the towel, and along the towel, Li Muyu saw a thin old man standing in front of him.
It's my aunt. Li Muyu was shocked when he saw this old man. Auntie's eyes were blind, so she was left staring at herself with only a pair of white eyes, and Li Muyu couldn't help but be startled.
"Auntie...... Auntie is so ......" Li Muyu was frightened, but still greeted out of courtesy.
My aunt's rough face showed an unusually ugly smile because she heard Li Muyu's voice. Li Muyu was so frightened that he trembled again.
The aunt bent down and picked up the towel that Li Muyu had dropped from the ground, and walked to the basin next to the bed and picked up the towel. Sometimes Li Muyu wonders if his aunt is not blind, but seeing the white eyes, Li Muyu knows how funny his conjecture is.
The aunt scooped up the towel and wrung it out and put it on Li Muyu's head again. At this time, Li Muyu saw that where did the string of Buddhist beads that never left his aunt's hand go?
Li Muyu remembered that the string of Buddhist beads had never left his aunt's wrist since Li Muyu could remember, no matter what happened. But today, what about my aunt's Buddha beads?
Li Muyu was puzzled in his heart, and suddenly Li Muyu felt something strange on his wrist, Li Muyu raised his hand and saw that his aunt's string of Buddhist beads was hanging on his wrist.
My aunt is an old woman with a thin figure, so her wrist is similar to Li Muyu's, and the Buddha beads are just right to hang on Li Muyu's wrist.
Li Muyu was puzzled and wanted to ask his aunt, but his aunt smiled at him and left the house. So Li Muyu's words were so suffocated.
A few days later, my aunt left, and Li Muyu recovered well in the next few days and was able to get out of bed.
However, Li Muyu himself found that since he experienced such an incident, he often dreamed, and the dreams were a little weird. A few days ago, before the big yellow dog in the village died, I dreamed that an old man left the village with the big yellow dog. The next day, the big yellow dog did die.
And before Uncle Wang at the head of the village went out to collect medicine and broke his leg, Li Muyu dreamed that Uncle Wang climbed the mountain, but his feet were entangled by the old vines in the mountain.
This kind of dream first made Li Muyu feel a little curious, but gradually made Li Muyu feel a trace of fear, and finally when his aunt came to the house again during the Chinese New Year, Li Muyu asked the doubts in his heart.
When Li Muyu saw his aunt that day, he found that his aunt seemed to have suddenly aged a lot, and her body was not as tough as before. trembling, she really became an old lady who thought she was close to old.
When Li Muyu asked his aunt what happened to him, his aunt patted him on the head and told him: "Before, I knew that you resented me, but your eight characters were too hard, and if you didn't let Xiaoyuan and Xiaoqi leave, something would happen sooner or later." ”
Li Muyu knew that Xiaoyuan was his mother's nickname, and Xiaoqi was his father. Li Muyu nodded after listening, and his aunt's face showed a smile of relief and continued to speak.
"You are hard, but your fate is twists and turns, and I don't know how many things in this mountain want to detain your soul. A few days ago, you were lured to the old grave by an old fox, and the fox was so enchanted that you were about to drag you into the grave's nest, but your life was stubborn, and the village cart passed by and saved you. But even if he saves you, the fox will take a few points out of your soul.
No way, I went to the old grave with your grandfather that night, searched for a long time, caught the old fox, and crushed the fox treasure and fed it to you. That's what calls your soul back. ”
Although my aunt said this, what happened must have been thrilling. And the fox treasure, Li Muyu also knew that it was a piece of beast pill cultivated in the body of some old foxes in the mountains after living for a long time. Generally, there are old foxes with fox treasures, and they are all weird things.
"The fox treasure was eaten for you, and the soul also shouted back to you, but in order to expect these things when you encounter these things again in the future, I gave you this string of old beads and let you occupy the fox treasure. In the future, when you encounter things, you will have dreams to foreshadow them, as long as you understand your dreams, you will be able to understand what is going to happen. The aunt continued to talk to Li Muyu.
Li Muyu listened as if he didn't understand, but Li Muyu understood his aunt's words, and it seemed that his dreams would be different from others.
My aunt left after eating dumplings on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and then a few years later, I heard that my aunt's body has not been very good, and when I grew up, I knew that my aunt gave her this string of Buddhist beads was given by an old monk who was kind enough to save my aunt when she was a child. Knowing the reason, Li Muyu quietly left the Buddha beads at his aunt's house and left by himself.
In the next few years, Li Muyu never resented his aunt again, and he used his aunt's string of Buddhist beads to press his life for a few years, and Li Muyu never encountered strange things, but his aunt's body became worse and worse after a few years of missing Buddha beads, in short, Li Muyu owed his aunt a little in his heart, and when he was nine years old, his parents also worked hard to gain a foothold in the city and took him to the city. So since then, Li Muyu has had fewer opportunities to see his aunt again, and now that he is working in other cities, Li Muyu has not seen his relatives in that village again.
Li Muyu asked about his grandfather and aunt's family when he was a child, but the adults still kept silent about it, as he got older, his curiosity decreased slightly, and Li Muyu no longer asked about those stories, but he always had a gratitude in his heart for his aunt......
But now Li Muyu is strange in his heart, what does this dream he hath mean? Two-faced female ghost? Li Muyu carefully recalled the details of this dream, but he had no clue.
By the way, the eyes of that face on the back of the woman's head don't seem to be white! Li Muyu suddenly remembered this detail. But what's the point?
Li Muyu, who didn't feel sleepy anymore, got up and poured himself a glass of water to drink. Looking at my watch, it would still be early in the morning, and the sun outside the window had not yet fully risen.
Li Mu didn't think about his dream again, but remembered the information he learned yesterday, and his eyes seemed to see through the window that he felt a little bored - the Third Courtyard of the City.
