The days in the countryside are calm and peaceful, the sunrise is done, the sunset is resting, plain, peaceful and easy-going. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In ordinary days, Liu Xiangdong and his wife are still busy with farm work, Liu Qifeng goes to school as usual, and Liu Zigui is still alone at home with grass, insects, birds and beasts, he seems to have been used to this kind of life.

However, he seems to be more sleepy than he used to be.

The air in the countryside is fresh, under the blue sky, a few white clouds drift leisurely, such a good weather, Liu Zigui usually catches grasshoppers in the grass of the hills, but now there is a column, he lies in the grass and sleeps, and he is still dreaming.

The dream is still that strange dream, strange room, strange feeling, the number of times, Liu Zigui will get used to it, sitting on that chair, there will be a low whisper in his ears, like crying, empty and ethereal, far and near, as if in the sky, as if in the ear, mysterious and mysterious, wonderful and wonderful, can only be understood but not spoken.

The sun had unconsciously set to the west, fading its blazing light, and the orange glow gradually lengthened the shadows of the trees, but shortened the time.

Today is Friday, and Liu Qifeng only has two classes in the afternoon, so she has to come back a little earlier than usual.

Liu Qifeng was wearing floral cloth clothes, tied two braids, hung down naturally along her shoulders, carrying Yu Xiangnan's schoolbag that should be made of old clothes, jumped in front of Liu Zigui, squatted down, picked up the long hair on her shoulders and teased Liu Zigui's nose mischievously.

"Hatche."

Liu Zigui sneezed, then woke up, saw his sister squatting on the side, and sat up happily.

"Sister, you're back."

"yes, it's Friday, so come back early from school, why are you sleeping here?"

Liu Zigui stood up and patted the weeds on his buttocks, and said, "This place can bask in the sun." “

Liu Qifeng patted Liu Zigui's head and said, "Silly boy, it's still so hot in summer, you are still stupidly basking in the sun, hurry up and go home to cook together." ”

Liu Zi returned and followed her sister home.

For more than 90 years, there was no running water in the countryside, and if you wanted to use water, you had to use the ancient method--- take a barrel made of wood to the well to fetch water.

The well is not far from Yanagiko's home, but it is a bend, around the tip of a mountain mouth, and a few hundred meters further on, and there it is there.

There is a leafy tree above the well, the spring water in the mountains flows slowly through the roots, converges into the pool under the tree, the spring water is clear and cheerful, the young lady and brother carry the wooden bucket that is about the same height as themselves, scoop into the bucket one by one, a scoop of water is not much, but it is still very heavy for a small child, after half a bucket of water, the sister and brother have been sweating profusely.

The sister and brother carried half a bucket of water and staggered back, the speed of the sunset was always faster than expected, and when they closed their eyes and opened their eyes, they found that they could no longer see the sun, the sky was dark, the yin was sinking, and the temperature was dropping.

The two siblings came to the bend of the mountain to rest for a while, the weight of half a bucket of water was still a heavy burden for the two children, and they had to rest for a while if they had to walk for a while.

Liu Zigui walked in front, looked back at his sister, and could also see the huge tree behind his sister, and there was actually a black figure under the dark tree.

The black figure is suspended in mid-air, with no strength to stand on the ground, no strength on the top, light and ethereal, weird to the extreme, but this wanton posture that can fly freely with the earth's gravity is what children yearn for, so Liu Zigui shouted excitedly: "Sister, look at that, that one will fly!" ”

Liu Qifeng turned his head and looked in the direction that Liu Zigui pointed, oops, the three souls scared off two and a half souls, Liu Zigui didn't know what it was, but Liu Qifeng knew that it was the ghost that adults often said, and he immediately cried in fright.

Liu Qifeng cried, Liu Zigui panicked, but the ghost laughed, although the road was a little far and the light was a little dark, but Liu Zigui could still feel the ghost laughing.

At this time, Liu Xiangdong and his wife came back from the field, Yu Xiangnan was carrying a hoe on his shoulder, Liu Xiangdong was holding a sickle in his hand, and the two heard their daughter's cry and hurriedly rushed over, and when they approached, the road under the tree disappeared again.

"Daughter, what's wrong with you?" Yu Xiangnan asked nervously.

Liu Qifeng was speechless in fright, just crying vigorously, but Liu Zigui pointed to the tree and said, "There is a person there." ”

Liu Xiangdong and Yu Xiangnan looked at the sky, there was nothing under the tree, but the faces of the two people had changed, and they seemed to know what was going on after living in the mountains for a long time.

"Let's go, let's go home."

It was dark, night was falling, and the fifteen-watt incandescent lamp glowed dimly, barely able to see the contents of the house.

Liu Qifeng was lying on the bed, her face was flushed, a wet towel was being applied to her forehead, and she was talking indistinct nonsense, looking very uncomfortable.

Originally, Liu Zigui saw that the ghost had some novelty and some joy, but at this moment, seeing that his sister was so frightened, a wave of anger also rose in his heart, and he wanted to beat the ghost.

"Son, aren't you scared today?" Liu Zigui sat in Liu Xiangdong's arms, and Liu Xiangdong sat on the sofa.

Liu Zigui didn't speak, just glanced back at his father, and then shook his head.

"To the east, no, my daughter is burning badly, you should hurry up and find the fourth uncle." Yu Xiangnan said worriedly.

"Okay, you take care of the two children at home, and I'll be back soon." Liu went east and put down Liu Zi and left.

The wait was long, a quarter of an hour, as if it was as long as a year, and in a manic mood, Liu Xiangdong came back with the fourth uncle.

Liu Siye was still wearing an old cyan tunic suit, holding a black leather bag in his hand, which contained cut yellow table paper, ink, and a large seal.

Liu Siye hurt Liu Qifeng very much, as soon as he entered the house, he walked to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, pulled up Liu Qifeng's right hand, and started to have a pulse, the pulse was crazy and rapid, and it came and went, Liu Siye frowned.

"The girl was scared." Liu Siye said.

Yu Xiangnan hurriedly said: "When I came back in the evening, the two children went to the well to get water, and they were frightened when they saw it. “

In the countryside, people usually refer to ghosts as filthy ghosts.

Liu Siye asked, "When is it?" “

Yu Xiangnan said: "I don't know the specific time, anyway, the sun has already set, and there is only a little red light in the west." “

At the beginning of the nineties, watches were still a rare thing, and ordinary people did not have watches.

Liu Siye nodded and said, "That's the unitary time." “

Liu Siye picked up his leather bag that had followed him for I don't know how many years, took out paper, pen and ink from it, spread the paper on the table, recited the water mantra, the pen mantra, and then the pen walked the silver snake, and with the spell, he drew a spell.

Liu Siye drew two charms, picked up one and said to Liu Xiangdong: "You use seven yellow table paper, wrap this charm and walk seven hundred and forty-nine steps to the southeast, facing northwest in front of you, burned, and then shout the girl's name back, remember, don't look back." “

Liu Siye looked at Liu Xiangdong with cloudy eyes and reminded cautiously: "After entering the door, take a bowl, burn this talisman, stir it with water, feed the girl to drink, remember, all the ashes must be drunk, don't leave residues." “

Liu Xiangdong took a talisman and went out of the room, ready to go.
