My eyes still hurt every now and then, and my second grandmother often gave me the red medicine to drink.

According to the past year after I hit the ghost, I went to the second grandmother's house as usual to visit the door, and when I passed by the second grandmother's cattle pen, I turned my head to look at the big yellow cow.

The big yellow cow was lying listlessly on a pile of hay, and when he saw me go, he looked up at me, and in the blink of his eyes, he actually shed huge tears.

I had never seen a cow crying, and I was as busy as I had found a new world, and before I entered the house, I shouted: "Second grandma, second grandma, your cow is crying." ”

But after entering the house, I immediately stopped, because the second grandmother was leaning back on the chair, looking at the eaves, muttering something I didn't understand, and the inside of her shriveled eyes was about to leak pus.

I stood for a while, then slowly approached her and asked, "Second grandma, what are you singing?" ”

The second grandmother seemed to be awakened by me when she fell asleep, turned her head and grabbed my arm, giving me tears of pain, and only let go of me after recognizing that it was me, and muttered on her back: "Come back soon." ”

I didn't know why the second grandmother was like this, so I squatted on the side and watched, and after a while, the second grandmother turned her head and asked me: "Haiwazi, do you want me to give my sister to you as a daughter-in-law?" ”

She asked this question before, and I said I wanted it at the time, but I didn't know why this time, but I didn't dare to nod, and I struggled for a while before I reluctantly nodded.

When the second grandmother saw me nodding, she actually smiled with tears in her eyes.

I didn't stay at the second grandmother's house for too long that day, I went home in less than ten minutes, and I heard my grandfather say that night, the second grandmother's son, that is, Ye Xiaoxiao's father, had a conflict with someone in the field and was killed, and her daughter-in-law also ran away with someone, and Ye Xiaoxiao might be sent back in a few days.

To be honest, when I heard the news, I didn't feel anything special, I just felt that Ye Xiaoxiao was very pitiful, she was so young, her father died, and her mother ran away.

Three days later, Ye Xiaoxiao was brought back, along with Ye Xiaoxiao's father's ashes.

Our custom here is to find an auspicious day to be buried, and before the auspicious day is buried, a funeral needs to be held.

The second grandmother was so thin that she didn't look like a man, Ye Xiaoxiao saw her grandmother crying, she also cried, I looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, and I also shed tears, I didn't know what distress was at the time, so I didn't know why I was crying.

On the night of the funeral, the second grandmother brought me and Ye Xiaoxiao a piece of filial piety cloth.

The closer the kinship, the longer the filial piety, it stands to reason that Ye Xiaoxiao's filial piety must be longer than mine, I don't know if the second grandmother took it wrong, my filial piety is exactly the same length as Ye Xiaoxiao's filial piety.

Three days later, Ye Xiaoxiao's father was buried, and the second grandmother asked me to kowtow to Ye Xiaoxiao in three steps, and followed the urn to kneel to the burial place.

Ye Xiaoxiao is very small and delicate, and everyone in the village is distressed when they see it, and they all sigh and say that she has a bad fate.

The day after Ye Xiaoxiao's father was buried, the second grandmother took Ye Xiaoxiao to the city, and it was not until the fifteenth day that I saw the second grandmother and Ye Xiaoxiao again.

The second grandmother said that she went to the city this time to change Ye Xiaoxiao's name, and she said that she did the math, the people of the Ye family are not easy to support, and the people of the Mu family are easy to support, so she changed her name to Mu Xiaoxiao.

Ye Xiaoxiao used to stay with me for a while, and she was still familiar with me, she was very quiet on weekdays, and she didn't like to talk, and it was even more obvious after her father's death, only when I went to my second grandmother's house, she would say a few words to me.

When she came back from the city, the first thing we said when we met: "Brother Ye Hai, I don't have the surname Ye anymore, my grandmother said that my name is Mu Xiaoxiao." ”

I don't care about the surname at all, it's just a different name, there is a woman in our village who has a physical problem, the second grandmother showed her, and then asked her son to change his name, can't call her mother, after changing to aunt, her illness is really cured.

After Mu Xiaoxiao changed her name, the second grandmother didn't allow me to call her sister, so I called her Xiaoxiao directly, saying that it was to change luck.

I don't care, it's still familiar to Xiaoxiao.

Since I hit the ghost, there are very few children in the village who are willing to play with me, but Mu Xiaoxiao, she is not with other children, she always follows me, Brother Ye Hai is long Brother Ye Hai is short to call.

Sometimes when I was grazing cattle in the fields, she would always find out where I came from and sit on the ridge with us and watch the cows.

On weekdays, when I don't herd cattle, she often comes to my house to look for me, and she has a lot of toys, but as long as I like it, she gives them to me without hesitation.

And all I can do is to prevent her from being bullied by other children.

But it backfired, and once I had an argument with another child, who threw a stone at me, but did not hit me, but broke a piece of skin on her head.

I was so angry that I picked up the stone from the ground and hurried to his house, and I swore that if I had caught him, I would have greeted him with a stone.

The kid was scared into the house by me, and I slammed the stone on his door several times before giving up.

In the afternoon, my grandparents came back and criticized me, saying that I didn't protect Mu Xiaoxiao, and I didn't say anything at the time, I just felt unhappy.

On the way home at night, Mu Xiaoxiao stared at me and said, "Brother Ye Hai, your eyes are red again, do they hurt?" ”

I felt it when she said this, my eyes hurt a little again, and I thought that I would go to the second grandmother's house for a while and drink medicine again, but in front of Mu Xiaoxiao, I still shook my head and said it was okay.

After sending Mu Xiaoxiao home, the second grandmother frowned when she saw the wound on Mu Xiaoxiao's forehead, and immediately asked me what was going on.

I told the story as it was, and the second grandmother also accused me when she heard it, saying that I should protect her.

I felt wronged, and I didn't know where it was going, and if I knew its trajectory, I would have stopped it.

The second grandmother accused me there for a while, and I was a little reluctant to listen, so I turned around and left.

When I returned to the chestnut tree, I remembered that my eyes were getting more and more painful, and I wanted to go back to my second grandmother to ask for medicine, but when I thought that she had just blamed me, I went home stubbornly, and I didn't want to tell my grandparents at night, so I endured it.

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, his eyes hurt so much that he couldn't stand it, and he rolled over and got up from the bed, ready to pull the light out and go to the next room to find his grandparents.

I reached over and touched the rope attached to the switch, but no matter how I touched it, I couldn't touch the rope, and I panicked. I tried it again, and what I touched directly scared my heart.

Instead of a rope, I felt a cold hand, and I was unsure at first, and after two strokes before I withdrew my hand, it was my arm that I touched, and it was very cold, like wood in winter.

I didn't dare scream when I touched it, for fear that if I shouted, the man standing at the head of my bed would find out where I was, so I withdrew my hand and hurriedly moved inside.

There was no moon at night, and it was dark inside. I didn't have the slightest visibility, and I didn't know who was standing in front of me, so I got into a stalemate with him.

After a long time, there was no movement in front of me, and I slowly reached out again, reached out and pinched it gently, and touched the thing again.

When I saw that he hadn't moved for so long, I thought he had touched something else, so I simply hurried forward with all my might, and finally caught the rope that turned on the light.

I turned on the light with a bang, and when I looked at the scene again, I was half scared to death.

Standing in front of me was none other than the old man I bumped into a few months ago.

As soon as I saw him, he cried out, and as soon as he heard me cry out, he leaned forward and threw himself at me, and then I was cold, and there was no sign of him.

After that, my grandparents rushed over and asked me what was going on.

I pointed straight ahead and said ghosts, my grandparents didn't see anything, and I didn't look like I was pretending, so I carried me to my second grandmother's house overnight.

The second grandmother had already fallen asleep, and it took a long time to knock on the door before knocking.

As soon as the second grandmother opened the door, my grandfather said, "His second grandmother, hurry up and see if the sea baby is a bag, whether she has hit the ghost again." ”

The second grandmother put a dress on her body, opened my eyes and looked at it, and said, "It's okay, you go back first, and stay here tonight." ”

My grandparents naturally didn't want to, and it was the second grandmother who blasted them away.

After they left, she turned her head and said, "Xiaoxiao, I'll bring a kitchen knife and a bowl." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao saw that I had become such a stupid look, so she was naturally anxious, and as soon as the second grandmother said it, she walked into the kitchen and took out these two things after a while.

After taking it out, the second grandmother said to Mu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid of pain for a while, otherwise your brother Ye Hai will die, do you know?" ”

Although Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled, she also nodded.

I squinted and saw that the second grandmother took Mu Xiaoxiao's hand, and then cut her hand with a knife, Mu Xiaoxiao frowned in pain, but did not shout.

When I saw it, my eyes widened suddenly, and I felt a lot of energy, and I sat up and asked, "Second grandma, what are you doing with Xiaoxiao?" ”

The second grandmother turned her head and smiled at me, then pressed me to the ground, and after a while, let Xiaoxiao go into the house and scoop some water into the bowl where she had just bled out.

After a qiē, it was poured into my mouth.

Only now do I realize that I used to drink blood all the time, but I thought it was some kind of medicine, no wonder it smelled fishy.

However, Xiaoxiao's blood seems to taste different, it is quite delicious and useful, and it will not hurt in the eyes after drinking it, and the fear on the body has also decreased.

After a while, I sat up, I was about to speak, Mu Xiaoxiao frowned, then sobbed in a low voice, stretched out his hand and showed it to her grandmother, and said it was painful with tears in her eyes.
