Whenever in summer, on a windy night, I always like to lie on the bungalow, a bamboo mat, a buckwheat pillow, blowing the cool breeze, counting the stars, and gradually falling asleep, which is the most comfortable moment in childhood. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Except, of course, the occasional disaster of being woken up in the rain.

Except for the helplessness of being squeezed off the mat by my cousin in the middle of the night.

My name is Chen Tu, nicknamed "Loach". When I was born, my grandmother calculated the eight characters of my birthday and said that I lacked soil in the five elements, and there would be a disaster of blood and light when I became an adult, so a single name and a soil word were used to resolve it, and I insisted on finding what black rock for me to wear for life.

My mother was a primary school teacher and a staunch scientist, and after some arguments between the two, my grandmother had no choice but to retreat and went to the Shangqing Palace to ask for Jade Guanyin to let me wear it.

My cousin Zhu Hong is half a year older than me, our mother is a sister, and the bungalow where the two families live next to each other shares a wall, and they are both only children, so we have been inseparable since we were children.

In 1985, I had just turned nine years old.

This night, while looking up at the starry sky from the roof of the house, thinking about life, my cousin came over the wall and disturbed my wonderful thoughts.

"Loach, what are you thinking, do you miss Xiaoyu at the same table, I can't see you this summer, hahaha!"

"Get out of the way!"

"What is your dad shouting in the house?"

"I don't know, I've drunk too much......"

"Okay......"

It was late at night, and while we were talking about frolic, we fell asleep unconsciously.

Awakened by the urge to urinate, I rubbed my eyes and stood up, the leaves of the sycamore tree in the moonlight like monsters with teeth and claws, swaying with the wind, as if they were about to pounce at any moment.

I have always been timid, so I woke up my cousin who was sleeping next to me, and we climbed down the ladder, and after solving it outside the door, I was instantly sleepy, and my cousin seemed to be quite energetic. Back on the roof, we lay down on the mat and chatted again.

"I think there must be a lot of treasures buried in my land."

"That's it, I also think, why doesn't your dad dig a little deeper, maybe he can dig out the gold ingots!"

"Why don't we dig during the day, maybe we'll be lucky!"

"That pit must have been filled by your dad during the day, and the adults will definitely not let you go!" My cousin suddenly sat up and said excitedly, "Why don't we go now, we won't be able to sleep anyway!" ”

"Huh? Don't scare me, I don't dare to go so dark! ”

"It's okay, what are you afraid of with me, if you have something, you run to me first!" My cousin said to me like an adult.

My cousin is indeed such a person, when I was a child, we did bad things and stole things together, and I always gave advice and was responsible for the sentry, he acted alone, and in the end the two of them shared the results of the battle, or he was caught and I ran away in disgrace.

"If you don't go, if you don't go, I'll go by myself, don't rob me if you find the baby!" My cousin stood up and wanted to go down as he spoke.

"Okay, then I'll go get a flashlight......" I actually agreed, I don't know if it's because my curiosity is really too strong or for some other reason, anyway, I would never dare to walk at night in normal times, not to mention that there are a pile of dead people's bones where I want to go.

"That's it, what's there to be afraid of, hurry up!" My cousin can't wait.

Climbing down the ladder and grabbing the flashlight, we gently closed the door and walked out. The moonlight was so bright that I could see even a pebble on the road, and the light of the flashlight seemed so insignificant in the moonlight, but I still insisted on turning it on, so that I could feel at ease.

On the way, I always take two steps to look back, for fear that something will appear behind me. In fact, I also know that even if there is a hideous face looking at you behind you, I will be scared to death when I look back, it is better not to look at it, but I still can't help but keep looking back, shaking my head like a rattle.

But when I suddenly turned around, my heart was about to jump out, and there was a person standing on the edge of the roof of my house, still waving to me, and the outline could be faintly seen in the moonlight, it was my grandmother, who was repeating the gesture of waving to me mechanically.

I got goosebumps in an instant, and I was so nervous that my upper and lower teeth kept bumping, and I almost screamed for a while, and I turned around and ran towards my cousin who was walking in front of me.

"Loach, what's wrong with you, walking so slowly!" My cousin looked back and saw that my face was blue and my legs were shaking uncontrollably.

"Just ...... I saw my grandmother just now," I almost cried.

"Dream, you, grandma is sleeping at home so late!"

"Really, it's on the roof of my house, don't believe it!" I pointed behind me as I spoke, not daring to look back.

"No, nothing, look dazzled, don't scare yourself all day long!"

I reluctantly turned my head, and there was no one on the roof, and a few sycamore leaves were swaying in the wind on the edges, and I was really too nervous to look at it.

It's like going home at night before, and always looking at the broken wooden stake at the door as a sitting person, obviously I already know, but next time I will still be surprised by the mistake. When I thought about it like this, my heart instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

The home is very close to the wheat field, just across a dirt road. From afar, I could see the pit in the daytime, and the outline was particularly clear in the moonlight.

Standing on the ground, I imagined all kinds of terrifying scenes in my heart, and I didn't dare to move forward.

"Why are you so cowardly, then you are watching here, I have passed!" After my cousin finished speaking, he couldn't wait to run over.

"Wait a minute!" I followed suit, because I was even more scared to stand alone on the ground.

The pit was not deep, but the child went down enough to cover the top of his head, and the broken soil below was mixed with wheat straw stalks, and a few white bones were faintly exposed.

"Brother...... This is a deserted grave, not like there is a treasure, let's go back, shall we? "I already regret coming to the field, and my fear is beyond what I can normally bear.

"Then how can there be a bronze mirror, the treasure must be buried underneath!"

"Even if you can't take it out, let's go back, okay?"

"Who said I couldn't take it out, I'll go down and take a look!"

"Huh?!" My heart suddenly rose to my throat, knowing that my cousin couldn't stop it from saying to doing.

As I spoke, my cousin crawled on the ground and grabbed the edge to jump down, and I stood aside, my head clouded and my back soaked with sweat. As I watched my cousin go down a little bit, I could hear my heart pounding against my chest, especially loud in the silence of the night.

Suddenly, my cousin's scream of "ah" broke the silence of the night and pierced my heart, and in an instant I froze there like a wooden man, watching my cousin kick his legs in the pit and struggle to climb up.

"Loaches! Come on! ......" my cousin shouted to me in a near-crying voice, "Run!" There are people in the pit...... Scratching my legs! ”

At that moment, my fear had broken through the threshold, just like the moment a person sees death will become relieved, and I don't know where I got the courage, I went to the edge and grabbed my cousin's hand and pulled it up desperately.

"Leave me alone, loach...... Run! "In the moonlight, my cousin's face was as pale as paper, but he still persuaded me to leave.

I finally couldn't hold back, tears cried out like a river bursting its banks, and I grabbed my cousin's hand like crazy and pulled it up, grief had long drowned out fear. But my skinny body was still dragged down a little bit.

At this moment, an arm suddenly stopped my waist, and with a little difficulty, I carried us up, and a familiar voice sounded in my ears.

"What are you two kids doing here at night? Why didn't you obey me when I called you back from the roof just now? ”

My cousin and I didn't come back to our senses from the fright just now, but when we looked up, we saw my grandmother looking at us with reproachful and distressed eyes, and then took our arms and walked home.

"Loach, second egg, hurry up, hurry up!" I opened my sleepy eyes and saw my father pulling my arm and shouting, "It's raining, and it didn't wake you up so much?" Hurry up! ”

It was already dark, and the rain was beating on my face, and I woke up all of a sudden, and when I looked down, I saw that the mat was already soaked, covered in water, and it was obvious that the rain had been falling for a while, and we slept so dead, it seemed that we were too tired from playing during the day.

My cousin also woke up, stood up and shook the rain from his body, and the moment I turned my head, I saw that his face was pale and frightened, and he also looked at me, and wanted to speak but did not ask.
