Chapter 4 "Hair Small" section

Chun Gen'er didn't answer me, he squatted on the ground, picking at the poured tombstones on the ground with his fingernails.

"I want to have a home so that I don't get grandpa to be late every day. It's closed in the closet. ”

I gently patted Chun Gen'er on the shoulder.

"Gen'er, maybe your mother will come back to pick you up."

He looked up at me, then with a cold look on his face, and said, "I know where my mom is."

After Chun Gen'er finished speaking, he took his hand and gestured to the handwriting on the tombstone. "Nianhui, can you teach me to write?"

Chungen'er is the only child in our village who doesn't go to school, the same age as me, but stays at home all the time.

"Gen'er, you've got something on your back."

Harune squatted on the ground with his head bowed, and I looked down his neck to see that something seemed to be stained on his back, and it looked like something drawn on a brush, very similar to the shape of a spider's web, and it seemed to be constantly changing with the light.

I reached inside to see what was on his back. Who knew that Chun Gen'er suddenly got up and pushed me away. At that moment, I saw that there were cobwebs on his face, and the ash on his face fell, as if the sunlight could penetrate his skin, and the dark purple veins on his face spread out, so that it was not scary.

"Harune'er, you...

Before I could finish speaking, I didn't stand on my feet and fell into the river.

It was Harun Gen'er who rescued me, and I don't know where he got the strength to drag me up from the water. He and I were soaking wet, and I was standing in the sun, but Chun Gen'er ran to the bottom of the bridge, shivering.

The ash and dirt on his body were gone, revealing his fair skin. I've never seen skin so white, not a little bloody.

"Gen'er, what's wrong with you?"

I squatted in front of Harugen, and he hugged me. I could only feel his cold and shaky body, and it took him a while to recover from his grip on me.

"Nianhui, do you have incense ash at home? Go and bring the ashes from the incense burner dedicated to your ancestors on the table in your house, put the ashes in a bag and send them quickly, don't scatter them. ”

I watched as Harune was dying, and her eye sockets began to darken. I nodded, pulled my legs and ran home.

By the time I sent the ashes to the bridge cave on the river beach, I couldn't find the figure of Chungen'er. I ran to Harugen's house again, and I bumped into his blind grandfather.

"I'll go find Harune."

"Harugen'er is at home! He was not feeling well and had already slept. ”

His grandfather replied to me.

"I'm going to see him.

"Come and play with him another day!

Grandpa Harugen didn't seem to welcome me, so he walked into the house and closed the door. My eyes were on his house, and it was so dark that I couldn't see anything. I put my ear to the door again, and this time I heard the sound of a bell in the room. Chun Gen'er has a bell around her neck, which rings anytime and anywhere. I was sure that Chun Gen'er had returned, and I was relieved.

After that, I didn't see Harugen for several days, and I sneaked to his door while his grandfather was out. Standing in front of his house, he shouted into the house: "Gen'er, Chungen'er, I'll help you open the door, where are you?"

But there was no response in the room. I used to see a solemn eye through the crack in the door, but now through the crack in the door, the room is so dark that I can't see anything.

I was so depressed that I was the only one who could play
