Tick, tick, tick. Drops of rain flowed down the roof tiles and onto the dry, abandoned platform under the steps, which was a jumble of discarded stones, sharp hoes, dirty dirt, and some unknown dried liquid, like blood, like red moss, in short, it smelled sick.

Lin Wei came to the side of the table, pinched his nose and took two hoes, and left this disgusting corner. When he turned around, an opaque pocket in the back table moved, he didn't care, and was about to leave, at this time, suddenly a bird flew out of the pocket, which really startled Lin Wei, and a bloody feeling gradually floated out of the pocket, getting thicker and thicker, and he slowly approached, wanting to find out. At this time, feeling a cough in his back, Lin Wei turned around and shook his head, "Oh, mother, it's you." What's in that pocket? Lin Wei pointed to the platform, and at this time Lu Hua panicked, but pretended to be calm, "No, it's nothing, it's just blood-stained chicken feathers, eat chicken at noon today, Zhifan is still waiting for you outside, hurry up and do farm work." So saying, he stepped forward, clenched the pocket, and walked out. Lin Wei was just a little curious, but he didn't have any suspicions about his mother.

Because yesterday made my mother angry, so today the two brothers are particularly active in farm work, the sun in late spring is a little poisonous, and after a short time, the brothers sweated and took off their shirts, and continued to dig the ground.

At noon, the two brothers were really tired and hungry, so they rested and sat on the ridge and waited for their mother to bring the rice. After taking the meal, the two brothers began to devour it, and Lu Hua laughed unconsciously when he saw the two sons eating, "Eat slowly, eat slowly." Zhifan was overjoyed when he saw the chicken in the bowl, "Mother, why did you think of getting us chicken today?" Lu Hua looked guilty, "Yesterday, my mother punished you two boys too much, to make up for you." After speaking, he fell into deep contemplation, the two were eating with their heads buried, not caring about what Lu Hua said specifically, Lu Hua saw that the two children were eating and eating, so he didn't speak anymore and looked at them silently. After that, he walked back along the potholed path.

The weather has always been fickle lately, and as the saying goes, "When spring thunder sounds, everything is born." At noon, the sun was still shining, and near the afternoon, the thunder began to move from beyond the clouds, and the farm work was almost done, and the two brothers carried their hoes, so tired that they could not straighten their waists, and went home with their backs on their backs.

After school, Zhixia left the three sisters and quietly left first, and stood at the door of the theater again, hesitated for a while, and never dared to go in, because every time she came to the theater, it seemed to be empty, before she always thought that everyone went backstage to prepare before the night show started, but after hearing that someone had died here, Zhixia was a little cowardly, but she still couldn't resist curiosity, she cautiously took every small step, and once she entered, it was still empty, Zhixia mustered up the courage to shout, "Is there anyone?" But no one responded, and was about to leave, when she suddenly saw an old man standing there in the corner, in the dark, Zhixia couldn't see the old man's face clearly, and only heard the old man reply weakly in a deep voice, "Spring is full of Wanhuayan." Let's go, girl. Listening to the old man's response in dialect, Zhixia suddenly remembered the same opera sound when he came to the theater yesterday, and shook his senses, the old man had disappeared, Zhixia was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out of the theater and went straight home.

When the two brothers went to the door, they found the mother coming out of behind the fence of the house with a panicked and suspicious look, and they were confronting the two brothers. Seeing the puzzled expressions of the two sons, he blamed them first, "You two boys don't talk and walk silently, scare me." Zhifan smiled and said, "Mother, why are you so panicked?" "It's okay, it's okay, I'm taken aback by you, it's okay, it's okay." As he spoke, he waved his hand and entered the house.

It was still 10 p.m., and the dark clouds gathered again rapidly, and a few drops of rain were already dripping here and there.

"Oh no, the clothes are still on the ridge, and I forgot to take them." Zhifan suddenly remembered, patted his head, Lu Hua looked at the cloudy sky, and asked: "Have you blocked the diversion ditch of the ridge, it has rained, and the water in the river has overflowed to the fields, isn't your work done in vain today." Zhifan patted his head again, "Ah, forgot." Lu Hua pointed at the two people speechlessly, "You two," and took the lead to go to the edge of the field, "Hurry up, you won't be able to come back after a while when it rains heavily." The two brothers ran behind with their hoes.

Before he ran to the edge of the field, the rain began to fall, stronger and heavier than yesterday, seeing this posture, Lin Wei immediately called his mother, "Mother, why don't you go back first, I will come back after Ah Fan and I, such a heavy rain." Lu Hua didn't hear it at all, and after snatching Zhifan's hoe, he began to skillfully get it. The rain seemed to be pouring down from the sky, Lu Hua's hair was all soaked, and it was tightly attached to her forehead, because the rain hit her face, so she had to squint and continue to dig, and the shoreline in the river next to her was getting higher and higher, almost level with the ridges.

The rain was so heavy that everyone didn't expect it, no matter how much effort was made, at this rate, the flood would definitely flood the entire field, Lu Hua didn't expect the rain to be so heavy, and he didn't have time to look back at the rise of the shoreline. Zhifan and Lin Wei have been stopping their mother and telling her to go back, but the rain is so loud that it overshadows the voices of the two brothers, Lu Hua can't help it, seeing that the water has completely washed away the soil, he turned around, and was startled, the river has overflowed out of the river boundary, and when he saw the two children shouting there frantically, he was ready to give up and yelled, "Go back, go back." ”

The two brothers turned around and prepared to run wildly, and suddenly heard a scream from their mother, oops, Lu Hua stumbled and fell into the river, and was washed away by the menacing river, the two brothers hurriedly ran to the shore and started a race with the river, Lu Hua had been washed a little far, Lin Wei stepped on the water and ran wildly, less than ten meters away from Lu Hua was a sluice, which was a barrier and broken dam built with steel bars and iron nets in the countryside to isolate the garbage and weeds washed down from the river, "It's not good." Lin Wei shouted, Zhifan also saw the sluice gate in the distance, chasing after Lin Wei, Lin Wei successfully grabbed one of his mother's hands, and the other hand fluttered wildly in the water, Lu Hua wanted to say something, but he was choked by the rushing water and never said it. Lu Hua tried his best to grab Lin Wei on his upper body, her nails were scraping indiscriminately on Lin Wei's upper body, and blood came out, Lin Wei endured the pain and pulled his mother, at this time, Zhifan also ran over, he wanted to grab his mother's other hand, but the rushing river disrupted his vision. The two brothers had no strength, Lu Hua also had no strength, and the last torrent hit Lu Hua and slapped Lu Hua away, and the two brothers knelt on the bank of the river, calling out in pain, but to no avail. I only heard a violent crash from the sluice, and a piece of water at the exit was dyed bright red, and the white intestines were wrapped around the steel bars, stretching longer and longer, and the intestines were gradually broken by the impact of the powerful water, shattering into residue and flowing into the distance with the river......

The four sisters gathered together and sat in the hall to discuss the upcoming eightieth birthday of their grandfather.

Zhichun said seriously, "Grandma left early, this time we must make grandpa feel happy and happy, don't be so lonely." ”

Zhidong stood up and waved his finger, "That's right, we should put on a show to make grandpa happy." ”

"Or, we can buy a gift for grandpa." Zhixia added.

"Tomorrow when school is off and on the weekend, we can go out and choose a gift for grandpa." Zhichun said happily.

At this time, Gao Qin, the wife of the boss Jinxi, walked in from the main entrance, "You guys, you are not allowed to go anywhere tomorrow." ”

"Mother, why?" Zhiqiu finally opened his mouth.

Gao Qin said in a deep voice, "There is a flood in the countryside, and now the streets are full of people fleeing, and it is very chaotic. ”

The four sisters suddenly realized, and Gao Qin opened his mouth again, "Your grandfather's birthday is coming, and now there are many congratulatory gifts sent over, and there is no shortage of yours." Let's go out and have a look. ”

A large shed was set up in the courtyard of the field, and the congratulatory gifts from all parties were piled up below, and the four sisters were curious to sort out and admire, and suddenly, a cheongsam simply wrapped in a transparent pocket attracted everyone's attention.

The cheongsam is made of dark blue silk like the ocean, and a white lotus flower is simply embroidered on the waist on the right, and a few simple lines form the pattern of the first bloom of the lotus, which is simple and luxurious.

"Who gave this cheongsam, it's so beautiful, but what does it mean to give a cheongsam on grandpa's birthday."

The housekeeper Lao Huang flipped through the records, "This cheongsam does not indicate who gave it, maybe it is missing, the second miss, the cheongsam cheongsam, which means that the flag is victorious. ”

Zhichun smiled, everyone looked at this cheongsam seriously, but they didn't know that the happiness of the family would turn into a fragmented luxury from now on, and the souls of those dark ghosts hidden in the Blue Mansion were about to be enlightened......
