Chapter 1 Eating Sugar

It is not difficult for a person to encounter a supernatural event, but it is difficult to encounter a supernatural event in a lifetime.

My name is Xue Wei, I am such a person, for as long as I can remember, I can see people who others can't see, passing by the grove can see a woman with a rope around her neck, bulging eyes, and a long tongue, walking by the river, you can see a man who is wet and pale, walking through the grave circle, you will see many old people sitting on the tombstone, looking at me gloomily......

I like to draw because no one believes what I say, so I draw them and show them, but I didn't expect that since they saw these people I painted, even adults and children have treated me as a monster and turned away from me, and it was so far away, so I was very lonely.

As I grew older, I gradually found that the reason why people stayed away from me was not because they were afraid of me, but because they were afraid that I would be able to see those strange people, and this situation reached its peak when I was six years old and less than seven years old.

According to the customs of Shandong people, I have to kowtow to the elders of each family on the first day of the new year, and I am no exception. Dad took me by the hand and came to the second uncle's house, and as soon as I entered the door, I shouted into the house as my father taught: "Is the second uncle at home?" I'm kowtowing to you! ”

The second uncle heard the movement in the house, hurriedly walked out of the door, and said to me with a smile: "Don't knock, don't knock!" The more you knock, the older you get! "That's what I said, but I didn't stretch out my hand to help, I saw the second uncle come out, lay on the ground and kowtowed three heads, kowtowed after these three heads, and continued to kowtow: "This is for my second aunt!" ”

After kowtowing to the six heads, the second master helped me up, with a smile on his face: "This kid, don't let you knock back, this is called a real, get up, get up, sit in the house, there is sugar!" ”

The second lady in the house has prepared a red envelope, and on the small table at the head of the pit, there are melon seeds, candy, and dry tobacco...... Just waiting for me and my dad to come, there is only one child in the second uncle's family, my cousin is twenty-one this year, he is not good at studying, he went out to work early, and he didn't even come back home for the Chinese New Year this year, and there are only my second uncle and second aunt at home.

Strangely, next to the small wooden table at the head of the pit, sat an old lady in a gray cotton jacket, with small feet, wearing a black felt hat, smiling at me with her teeth, and when she smiled, a black hole appeared in her mouth, I could see her clearly, but sometimes, she would shake a little, how to describe it? It's more like an image, like the feeling that the TV signal is unstable, and the people inside are swaying, and the most strange thing for me is that she is not eating something on the wooden table, but sucking.

Candy on a plate, melon seeds, peanuts, frozen pears...... As long as the old lady fell in love with that, lowered her head and inhaled it, the thing suddenly jumped under the old lady's nose like peeling off its skin, in fact, it was a hazy and hazy shape, and then turned into a cloud of green smoke into the old lady's nose, I saw it was quite rare, I had never seen anyone eat like this, pointed to the small wooden table on the kang and said to my second uncle: "Second uncle, why does the old lady on your kang suck things through her nose and eat without her mouth?" ”

The first to react was not my second uncle, but my second aunt, who was closest to the kang head, and just reached on the plate to grab a handful of candy for me, and heard me point to her side and shout such a sentence...... jumped up with a bang, it looked like stepping on a cat's tail, and his face instantly turned pale.

My second uncle is quite calm, after all, he is a person who has seen the world, he was a soldier when he was young, he has been to Shenyang, my second aunt called, although the second uncle's face has changed, but he still shouted at my second aunt: "Silly old lady, what are you calling blindly?" ”

After calling my second aunt, she turned her head to look at me and asked, "Xiaowei, is there a mole on the right corner of the old lady's mouth you saw?" ”

I took a closer look at the old lady on the head of the pit, and there was indeed a black mole on the left corner of my mouth, and it was obvious that I turned my head and said to my second uncle: "There is a black mole, just on the corner of the mouth." ”

After speaking, I also compared the corners of my mouth, and saw the position I gestured, my second uncle, second aunt, my father, "poof, poof......" knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the kang, a few years later, I learned a sentence, describing the current situation in the right place, kowtow like pounding garlic, the kowtow is evil, I'm really not afraid of pain, bang...... It's really hard, too.

I was young, I don't know why my dad and my second uncle and aunt suddenly kowtowed, standing there a little overwhelmed, my dad grabbed me, pressed me to the ground, and whispered to me: "Hurry up and kowtow!" ”

For kowtow, in fact, I refuse, after all, the yard just kowtowed to the second uncle and the second aunt six heads, and the red envelope has not yet been gotten in hand, so I have to continue to kowtow, I am not an iron arm Astro Boy, not to mention the headache, the old lady on the pit is not like the owner with a red envelope, and it is also a white kowtow, which is quite reluctant.

My arms can't twist my thighs, and I can't twist my dad, who is pressed to the ground...... Kowtowed a few times, knocked me dizzy, and heard my second uncle chanting vigorously: "Mother, didn't Xiao Nian burn paper for you, why did you come home?" The child is small, don't scare him, if you lack anything, give me a dream, and we will burn it to you......"

I am more than six years old, less than seven years old, still in a hazy state, said to be sensible and knowable, said that I am not sensible, I am really not sensible, I heard my second uncle call the old lady on the kang head called my mother, and I pondered in my heart, the second uncle is my father's brother, the mother of the second uncle...... Isn't it my grandma!

I was a little dumbfounded, I knew that I saw people I shouldn't have seen again, because I hadn't seen my grandmother since I was a child, my dad said, my grandmother died when I was two years old, I didn't have any impression at all, maybe it was because of the bloodline, maybe it was curiosity, I didn't feel too scared, but I looked up at my grandmother on the pit.

As soon as I looked up, my grandmother was staring at me, she was more interested in me than I was in her, with a folded face, but smiling kindly, she snatched a handful of colorful candies from her black cotton jacket pocket, and floated down to me, and took the shape of a candy from her hand with a loving face to give me to eat.

A little yin wind blew, I felt a chill on my body, Ji Lingling shivered, couldn't help sneezing, the piece of candy was handed to my mouth by my grandmother, I didn't feel grandma's malice, but felt that she liked me very much, natural admiration, so I didn't feel afraid, I couldn't help but open my mouth.

A fruit candy with only the shape entered my mouth, I felt a cold mouth, there was a sweet taste, like eating a piece of rock candy, but it was still a little different, the difference can't be said, anyway, it was very comfortable, I didn't feel uncomfortable, I added my lips, and the grandmother next to me narrowed her eyes happily.

My strange behavior aroused my dad's alarm, and he dragged him over and asked, "Xiaowei, what are you doing?" ”

"Grandma fed me candy!"

My father's face turned white in an instant, it was a cold day, the sweat came down, he stared at my side, hurriedly pulled me up and left, and said to my second uncle while walking: "Second brother, hurry up and burn paper for our mother, don't let her pester Xiaowei." ”

My second uncle's legs were weak, stumbling up in the room to find yellow paper, my dad pulled me out of the door, but as soon as we left, grandma floated up and followed, always by my side, I looked curiously, and saw that her mouth kept opening and closing, as if talking to me, but I couldn't hear the slightest sound.

My dad pulled me to walk fast, but no matter how fast it was, my grandmother was beside me, took out a piece of sugar from my hand for me to eat, more than six years old children have no resistance to sugar, open their mouths to eat piece by piece, my dad pulled me to go in a hurry, often turned his head to look at me, he looked at me, grandma did not give me candy, but as long as my dad did not look at me, he would stuff sugar in my mouth.

From my second uncle to my house, it is only a distance of five or six hundred meters, such a short distance, I don't know how many pieces of that kind of candy with only shape I have eaten, because there is no substance, it melts in my mouth, and gradually I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, like I am full, and the sweet taste has become no longer attractive to me.

But my grandmother still stuffed it into my mouth piece by piece, and I really couldn't eat it anymore, so I said to my grandmother: "Grandma, don't give me candy to eat anymore, I can't eat it anymore." ”

Grandma floated beside me and stuffed sugar into my mouth, so I turned my head and pulled my neck and shouted loudly, at this time there was still some distance from my house, walking on the most spacious dirt road in the village, on the first day of the new year, there were many people coming and going to pay New Year's greetings, and when they heard my voice, they all stopped to look at me, and my father was even more trembling, staring at me in horror.

Grandma smiled, her mouth opened as if she was talking, and she was still stuffing sugar into my mouth, I hurriedly hid behind my father, and shouted while hiding: "Grandma, don't feed me candy, I can't eat anymore, I'm almost ......"

The people in the village looked at me with a particularly strange look, and it was also an instantaneous effort, adults and children, all like stepping on a landmine, all of them avoided me, some picked up the children and ran, I vaguely heard someone muttering: "The children of the old Xue family are really evil, this is the New Year, and they are looking at the dead again, it's really unlucky, hurry up and stay away from him......"

My dad suddenly picked it up, raised his legs and ran home, my grandma floated and followed, I was just about to open my mouth to speak, a piece of candy was stuffed into my mouth again, I felt a sudden cold in my stomach, the pain in my heart, I couldn't help but oops! I screamed, and the pain in my stomach hit me in waves, and my eyes were black in pain, and I didn't know anything.
