Mom soothed him with her warm embrace, and he finally found a sense of security. Gradually, he fell asleep, and slept soundly.

When Gong Ziran woke up, the sun had already risen, and his mother was still holding him like at night.

Gong Ziran got up and rubbed her mother's shoulders. Compared with other children of the same age, he is much earlier and more sensible than others.

Just then, the door opened, and a tall young man entered.

"Dad" Gong Ziran called.

"Drink this, one at a time, twice a day." There was still a lot of work to be done in the field, and the young man put down a plastic bag and left.

"What is this?" Gong Ziran asked. In preschool, he had just learned all the pinyin, and he didn't know a few Chinese characters at all. At that time, there were no kindergartens in the countryside, and seven-year-old preschool was only the first year of school.

"Your dad bought you a soothing brain tonic solution, and you can't sleep for the past two days." Mom took the plastic bag and opened the package made of the box inside.

"Oh," Gong Ziran understood what was going on as soon as she heard it. In the past two days, my father and mother must be in a hurry.

Dad is a tough guy, an absolute atheist, who only believes in being full and not hungry in this life, and never believes in evil. Yesterday, a neighbor came to the house during the day, speculating that he might have a strange disease and was infected with something unclean. But my father didn't believe it at all, and only thought that the child was scared. Seeing that I hadn't gotten better last night, I must have gotten up early to go to the village clinic to explain my condition and come back from buying medicine.

After Gong Ziran took the medicine, he lay on the kang and thought about the whole thing. Whether you are scared or not, whether there is a mental problem, only you know best, where will others know how terrible that face is.

In the afternoon, Gong Ziran asked his grandfather for a dollar. His parents were very strict with him, and only his grandfather spoiled him the most.

After saying hello to my mother and saying that I would go back later to play with my classmates, Gong Ziran walked to the street.

The sun is setting, and night has fallen. Although the street is a relatively developed place, it is a rural area after all, and in the dark night, the few lights in the distance seem extremely dim.

In the dark, Gong Ziran stood quietly where Xu Qing was hit. The bloodstains were blurred, and it was hard to see without looking closely. There was a dilapidated tricycle parked next to it, and if someone from the scene of the accident was there, they would find that the tricycle was parked exactly in the same position as the sedan at the time.

Gong Ziran took a deep breath, took out a small doll and a few paper folded gold ingots with courage, and burned them like adults.

The little doll was bought for a dollar just now. The pale blue flames swayed from side to side in the breeze, looking so weird.

Gong Ziran squatted on the ground, picked up a wooden stick and shook the burning doll, while muttering in a low voice:

"Xu Qing, you must have no pocket money over there, I sent it to you. I bought this doll for you, and I've been picking it for a long time, so it's so good-looking. ”

"Snort"

The doll was reduced to ashes, and the gold ingots were ignited.

"The doll has been burned for you, you should have received it, and let it stay with you in the future. Please don't pester me, okay? ”

"Okay...... aren't you?"

"Woo~~~" Before he finished speaking, a cold wind suddenly blew, and the gold ingots that had not been burned were blown out at once.

Gong Ziran was shocked, the wooden stick fell to the ground, and he looked around. However, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Gong Ziran pricked up his ears and looked around nervously. He could perceive that the eye that had been staring at him was getting closer......

After a long time, Gong Ziran's tense nerves were about to be unable to support it, but nothing happened.

"That's not right."

Gong Ziran looked into the distance and said secretly in his heart: "It's too dark this day, right?" I've been here for so long, why am I alone, and I haven't seen a passing car? ”

"Grandma, good tablemate, what do you want? There is a debtor and a debtor, you go to the damn driver. You bullied me when I was alive, and now that you're dead, let me go. Gong Ziran said to the surroundings.

But instead of returning to normal, the surroundings became darker, and even the only light in the commissary became flickering and dimming, as if it were about to be extinguished at any moment.

There was no sound in the night except for himself, and it was really eerily quiet.

Suddenly, just under the tricycle, there seemed to be a shadow flashing.

Gong Ziran trembled and lit the unburned ingots. Although he was extremely scared at this time, there was always an irresistible force in his heart urging him to pass.

The firelight lit up, and Gong Ziran slowly approached the tricycle with his waist bent.

One step, two steps......

When it got closer, Gong Ziran trembled more and more, and the last ingots that were burning almost didn't hold it.

When we finally arrived, the distance seemed so far and long.

Gong Ziran held his breath and poked the fire under the car.

However, there was nothing underneath the car.

However, just as he turned to walk away, he suddenly froze. Then, the whole scalp exploded.

He saw something that countless people had never seen in their lifetimes, and it was creepy and terrifying.

It was an arm, a withered, rotten, twisted arm at an incredible angle. His forearm was bent several times, and Bai Sensen's stubble protruded from the fracture. If you look closely, you can see that its green-haired hands are clutching the doll.

No, that's not a hand.

Is that...... Paw!

Gong Ziran sat down on the ground all of a sudden, her whole body, and even her neck was cold.

Then, before his blank brain could react, another face poked out from behind the tricycle's tires.

The back of his head burst and his eyeballs hung outside, and it was the blood-smeared, familiar and frightened face that had been haunting him.

Gong Ziran slowly moved back, his eyes not daring to leave the thing.

Slowly, far away. The fire had long since been extinguished, and vision had become blurred.

Suddenly, a body appeared under that face, and he actually pounced towards Gong Ziran.

Seeing this scene, Gong Ziran was so frightened that her soul was scared, and she jumped up with an "ah" sound, and ran towards the commissary with a rolling belt.

After running for a long time, I obviously saw that the commissary was close in front of me, but I just couldn't run to the place.

Gong Ziran was desperate, her legs no longer had any strength, and she even lost consciousness. He could only feel that he was still moving forward.

"Assert ......"

A sharp sneer came into his ears, and Gong Ziran dared to guarantee that it was the most ugly voice he had ever heard in his life.

Gong Ziran stopped and slowly turned around.

The withered claw was grabbing at him, and he had no strength to dodge, so he could only let the claw grasp at his neck.

A rancid smell hit his nose, and Gong Ziran saw its incomparably hideous strange face clearly, where there was still a half-familiar look. He was sure that this was definitely not Xu Qing. Gong Ziran struggled desperately, but under this claw, he seemed so powerless. Slowly, his consciousness began to blur. In the last shred of clarity left, he even heard the sound of his throat shattering.

Then, there was darkness.

……

"Ziran, it's time to eat." The voice of a middle-aged woman came from the kitchen.

"I fell asleep." Gong Ziran got up from the table, pressed his temples, and rubbed his eyes.

"Alas! It's been so many years since this incident, and now I still think back on it as if it was yesterday, I remember it so clearly, I still dream about it. Gong Ziran supported his head with one hand, and the oil pen in the other hand was spinning, "It's been more than ten years, and that old man hasn't appeared again." If he hadn't saved me, I would have died that night. Xu Qing should have been reincarnated a long time ago. ”

Back then, when Gong Ziran was on the line of life and death, he was rescued by a white-bearded old man legendarily.

Refusing what the old Taoist said, he was a few miles away at the time, and found that there was extremely heavy yin qi, so he rushed over.

Ordinary ghosts can't harm people, Xu Qing's soul was swallowed by a ghost, and her death was also caused by that ghost. If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't completely devoured it at that time, and there was the interference of Xu Qing's will, I'm afraid Gong Ziran wouldn't have been able to hold on to the time when the old way came.

Since then, whenever night falls, Gong Ziran often gets dizzy and has a pain in his eyes, and after so many years, it has always been like this.
