When I came out of Daddy Nan's house, it was already dark. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info I have a jade pendant and a book wrapped in oiled paper in my pocket, and the pig-killing knife pinned to my waist. When I got home, I hid the jade pendant, notebook and pig-killing knife under the straw of the bedside cushion while my parents were not paying attention, so that I could sleep with it at night.

That night, the north wind blew all night, and after dinner, I went to bed early, tossing and turning on the bed to fry beans, and I couldn't sleep, and what happened at Daddy Nan's house in the afternoon was replayed in my mind like a movie.

I'm already a fourth-grade elementary school student, and in this era when politics is in charge and the white-roll hero Zhang Tiesheng (note) is popular, the school is a playful class. The movements of criticizing forests and confucius, fighting for private criticism, breaking feudal superstitions, and defeating all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods one after another gave me a view of right and wrong at that time. After the last terrible incident, after seeing Master Yang's magical skills, the original concept has been subverted, and I thought that I might be as capable as Master Yang Nan's father in the future, and my little brain was extremely excited.

It's just that I don't really understand what Daddy Nan told me later, so can I really help him heal? There's something mysterious about it. Thinking that he gave me the baby pig-killing knife that he doesn't even let people touch, it must not be a joke, just do it then, what do you do with so much?

The next day, after breakfast, snow fell in the sky, and by the end of the afternoon school day, the snow on the ground had become more than an inch thick. The snow has not stopped, it is falling heavier and heavier, flying all over the sky, filling the place, and the sky and the earth are white. It's one of the most exciting times of the year for our little butts, snowball fights, snowman building, and a whole bunch of people getting carried away.

When I got home, it was already dark, because the snow was very bright, brighter than the moonlit night, and the snow was fluttering and sprinkled, and it was a little blind, and I couldn't see clearly.

As soon as I entered the house, my stomach rumbled, and I cried out to eat. Sister Xiaoling said that her father was at Daddy Nan's house, and I heard that Daddy Nan's condition was getting worse and he vomited a lot of blood, and he was dying. My mother had made a meal and called my father, and was waiting for them to come back for dinner. I listened to my thoughts, and suddenly remembered Daddy Nan's instructions yesterday, put down my schoolbag and ran outside. My sister chased it out and asked where to go? I didn't look back, but said as I ran:

"I'm going to tell them to come back for dinner quickly."

Panting, he ran to the door of Nan's father, and his father and mother had just come out of the house. I heard a murmuring cry in the house. When my father saw me, he rebuked me in a vicious voice: "I am still in the wild at this time when the black light is blinding, is it itchy?" I muttered, "At this time, you haven't gone home yet, we are already hungry, and I came to call you and your mother home for dinner." ”

My father stopped talking, raised his leg and walked forward, and my mother took my hand and followed. When I was about to go down the steps of the yard, I paused, looked up and said to my mother, "Mother, I want to see Daddy Nan." ”

Mother stopped, and Father, apparently hearing what I said, stopped and looked back. Mother said softly:

"Didn't you come to see yesterday?"

"How do you know?"

I'm surprised, I haven't told anyone about it.

Mother said, "You told me about it just now. said that you talked to your Nan Daddy for a long time yesterday, and your Nan Daddy is still praising you for being a sensible and good cub at night! ”

The father whispered to his mother: "If you want to see it, you can take a look, I have eaten other people's things over the years, and many people have not been so kind to their grandchildren......"

The mother hesitated for a moment, and said, "Now he can't speak, and he can't move, but his eyes are wide open, and he looks strange, and it's night again, and I'm afraid that I will be scared." ”

The last incident had a great impact on my mother, and now she is very superstitious.

My father paused and said, "Then go back to dinner first, and I'll take you over tomorrow during the day."

I said yes and didn't insist on it. I didn't expect that just giving up on this would make me feel guilty and regret it for the rest of my life.

I felt really hungry, but I didn't have any taste for dinner, and my mind was ringing with Daddy Nan's repeated advice yesterday. I wondered if and how I should do what he told me to do.

Nowadays, although it is said that the feudal superstition has been broken, there are many legends of gods and ghosts in the countryside. Especially me, caught sure ass blossoming.

The sun-dried grain flat at the entrance of the village is not far from my house, about 200 meters. Every night in the summer, the flat will be full of people enjoying the coolness, and the production team will move there for meetings and work points. It's a haven for us little boys. Cockfighting, trumpeting, rolling glass beads, hide and seek, don't go home if you don't have fun. But now it's a snowy winter, and few people go to play during the day, let alone at night?

If you go out like this, the adults will definitely refuse, and the sisters will sue when they see it, and they will have to wait until they are all asleep before they can sneak out. I have to go anyway, or I'm sorry for Daddy Nan.

At that time, the countryside did not know what television was, and there was no entertainment at night, so I had to go to bed early. Especially in winter, everyone goes to bed earlier, and most of them go to bed around 8 o'clock, and there is generally no light in the village at 9 or 10 o'clock.

Washing his face and feet dragged on at the end, and when he poured the water and closed the door, he heard his father's snoring, and the sisters were asleep. I took out the pig-killing knife from the straw under my pillow, mustered up my courage, walked out of the half-hidden door lightly, took the wooden basin that had been prepared long ago, stepped on the thick snow, and walked to the barn flat.

Then I noticed that the snow had stopped, the sky was gray and colorless, and the whole village, along with the mountains and forests near and far, was covered in snow. The village was quiet, and there was silence between heaven and earth.

When he arrived at the valley flat, he put the basin in the middle of the flat according to Daddy Nan's instructions, looked up in the direction of Daddy Nan's house, there was a trace of orange light and shadow, it was estimated that the lamp lit in his room was placed on the windowsill, presumably his children were still guarding his bedside and did not sleep, so the lamp was on.

I was very excited to think that what I was doing could help Daddy Nan and make his illness get better quickly. At that time, he was indeed too young and stupid to think of his intentions and consequences. Looking back now, I can't tell whether it was right or wrong.

After all, it was very cold in the snowy night, I took a few breaths into my cold hands, bowed my body, and stabbed the pig-killing knife in my right hand to the ground next to the wooden basin, I remember that Nan Daddy had such an action when he killed pigs, and then straightened his waist, and the knife in his right hand stabbed at the light of Nan Daddy's house from afar, and I saw that the light seemed to be extinguished.

I withdrew the knife and placed it diagonally in the tub. Originally, a bowl of water was poured into the wooden basin, and the shallow one covered the bottom of the basin, and the straight lines of the wooden boards at the bottom of the basin could be seen clearly. At this time, I found that the basin was no longer clear water, but a thin layer of ice. It was red ice, and under the light of the snow, I saw that the color of the ice was red, red like pig's blood. Against the backdrop of snow, it is extraordinarily dazzling.

I was taken aback, and suddenly I felt a great fear that I had never felt before. I grabbed the pig-killing knife, and I didn't want the wooden basin, so I ran home. As soon as I arrived at the house, I heard Meng Fanmao's creepy cry sounding by Daddy Nan's garden:

"Everyone, hurry up, my grandfather (father) is gone, please hurry up and help......."

Then there was a howling cry, and the dogs of the village barked one after another. When I entered my small house, I heard the sound of my father getting up and getting dressed in the next room.

A heart-pounding sound of firecrackers exploded in the night sky, and it was Daddy Nan's family who was sending him on his way.

Daddy Nan died, really died, and died like that...... I was shivering under the covers, and I burst into tears with fear and sadness.

I don't know when I fell asleep, and when it was almost dawn, I had a dream about Daddy Nan. He was as red as when he was not sick, and he carried the small bamboo basket with a stab, and hurried towards the entrance of the village, and I chased him over and asked him where he was going. Daddy Nan waved me home, saying that someone had asked him to go to the city to kill pigs to cook and set up a big feast, and then asked him when he would come back, but he didn't answer, waved his hand and disappeared at the entrance of the village. I woke up with a start, and my little heart was pounding.

It is said that people have evil spirits after death. When someone dies, others don't feel how scared, it's because the deceased has little resentment and is light, and some people feel terrible after they die, that is, the evil is heavy, saying that the deceased is resentful, unwilling to die, and entangled in the yang world and refuses to leave.

Daddy Nan was only in his fifties, and he died unwillingly, and he was very angry. For a long time, the adults in the village did not dare to go out alone at night. Strangely, I wasn't afraid.

After dawn, my father came home to boil water and wash his face, and found that the basin was missing. I didn't say a word. Sister Xiaojing said that it must have been stolen by a thief, and her sister refuted that there was such a useless thief, even a broken basin was stolen? My father rebuked me, saying that I slept at the end last night and forgot to close the door.

My sister went to the well to fetch water and passed by the sun-grained ping, found the wooden basin at home, and picked it up. I took it and saw that it was indeed icing inside. But it's not the red ice I saw like pig's blood last night. I asked my sister where she picked up the basin, and she said it was in the middle of the sunning flat. I asked her again if she had seen red ice in the basin. My sister scolded me for being sick.

It must have been dazzling at night, I was really scared of myself, and I let out a long breath.

Later, I thought about this and thought, although it was night, the snow was white, the ice was red, and it was extremely dazzling, how could I be dazzled? I'm still confused.
