Zhou Manman's sound escaped in the dark, which stimulated my blood all over my body, I rolled over and wanted to kiss her on the lips, but I saw that under the moonlight, her face was bloody and blurred.

I was so frightened that I woke up suddenly, only to find out that it was a dream, but what frightened me was that I was the only one on the bed at this time, and Zhou Manman was gone.

Suddenly, the door creaked open, and I didn't dare to move, and I vaguely saw Zhou Manman, who was in a cloak, walking towards my bedside, drowning me in her shadow. She stood on the edge of the bed and looked at me stunned, expressionless, as if she had fallen into an evil spirit.

I was so scared that I didn't dare to breathe, was Zhou Manman sleepwalking or what's wrong?

"Zhou Manman?" I whispered.

In the dark, Zhou Manman did not react at all.

I turned on the lamp at the head of the bed, the light was dazzling, and I could see Zhou Manman's face clearly, as white as a piece of paper.

Perhaps stimulated by the light, Zhou Manman frowned slightly, slowly lay down on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

My fingers suddenly retracted when they touched Zhou Manman's body, because her body was as cold as ice, and then she stopped moving, making an even breathing sound.

When I woke up the next day, I heard the sound of my mother busy in the yard, I opened my eyes and saw that Zhou Manman was already dressed and sitting at the head of the bed, looking at me with a shy face.

"Hey!" I said hello to Zhou Manman, not to mention how happy I was, although I didn't have anything to do with Zhou Manman last night, but I was already very content to be able to share a bed with such a little beauty.

Zhou Manman also said hello to me and smiled, only to find that she was indeed incredibly beautiful, with an indescribable charm.

But remembering the events of last night, I opened my mouth and asked, "Zhou Manman, do you have sleepwalking?" ”

Zhou Manman shook his head and said, "No one has ever said that I sleepwalked, I sleepwalked last night?" ”

I hurriedly said, "No, I'll just ask." ”

"Yang Hao, get up and eat." My mother's voice suddenly came from the yard.

"Mom, don't come in yet!"

My mother will come into my room every time she calls me to look at me, and now Zhou Manman is still in my room, if my mother sees me hiding in the golden house, I don't know what to think.

But my mother still came in, she saw Zhou Manman next to my bed, Zhou Manman looked at me and my mother with a red face, and shouted: "Hello, Auntie." ”

My mom looked embarrassed and hurriedly said, "You go on, go on." ”

My mom exited the room, and I quickly got up and dressed.

During the meal, my mother kept staring at Zhou Manman, and she didn't ask what the relationship between Zhou Manman and me was, nor did she ask me how I took Zhou Manman to the house, so Zhou Manman was a little afraid to eat.

I was going to explain that Zhou Manman was the survivor of the cliff bus accident, but I wouldn't believe my mother when she looked at her like this. Although my mother is quite superstitious, but not pedantic, when I was a freshman in high school, she began to encourage me to find a partner, saying that she wanted to hold her grandson, and when I got to college, she persuaded me to read less and go out more to date girls, but I know that the family has no money, and I don't like to play crazy, and I have few girls, so the matter of falling in love has not been settled.

Now that there is suddenly an extra beauty in the family, my mother is naturally happy to see it, where can she take care of the other party's origins, and she will serve Zhou Manman vegetables vigorously.

After eating, my mother let Zhou Manman into the hall, and then pulled me out of the courtyard and said, "You kid can do it, and you will make a noise and make a noise about your daughter-in-law." ”

"Mom, you misunderstood, things are not what you think, in fact, she ......"

"Okay, mom is also from here, you can't see when mom looks at this girl, your eyes light up!"

I had no choice but to stop explaining, I really like Zhou Manman in my heart, and I was worried that my mother would say that Zhou Manman's origin was unknown, but now that she is my girlfriend, I am happy to accept it.

After my mother finished the lesson, I ran to the room to chat with Zhou Manman, I saw from the screen door that the two of them were chatting very happily, Zhou Manman seemed to have forgotten most of what happened before, and did not call the police and was not in a hurry to go home.

I was reluctant to let Zhou Manman go, so I didn't take the initiative to bring it up, but when evening approached, Zhou Manman didn't even mean to go, I was strange in my heart, but I didn't think much about it.

I can see that Zhou Manman has a good impression of me, maybe because of my righteousness and bravery, maybe because of my care for her, in short, she willingly stayed and didn't mention anything left.

I still shared the bed with her at night, but I never touched her, and my mother boiled some supplements for us both to drink, which made us both embarrassed, because I didn't sleep well last night, so I fell asleep soon after going to bed, and I didn't wake up once in the night.

If my mother knew that I was holding a big beauty in my arms at night but didn't do anything, she would definitely scold me for not even being as good as a beast, and now since Zhou Manman is not leaving, she is willing to sleep in a bed with me, and I don't have to think about it to know what she means to me.

The next day when I was having breakfast, I suddenly heard a knock on the door, I took advantage of my mother to open the door and I gave Zhou Manman a dish, Zhou Manman smiled very shyly, I saw it happily, so I secretly pulled her little hand into her hand and pinched it, she didn't refuse, just bit her lip and looked at me, not to mention how happy she was.

After a while, my mom called me out with a worried look on her face, and I felt strange and asked her what was wrong.

My mother whispered, "Your third uncle's son died last night. ”

"From Dawa Village?" I asked.

My third uncle is my distant relative, my father left Futuling for unknown reasons when I was two or three years old, and he never came back, and the third uncle is not my third uncle, so some distant relatives basically did not contact each other again. However, we also opened a school in Futuling as a small town, when I was a child, the children of ten miles and eight villages were gathered together to attend classes, at that time I also played with the son of the third uncle, I vaguely remember that his name is Yang Kuan, and I have the impression that he is a very healthy and lively child, why did he die?

My mother nodded and said, "Although I haven't been in touch for many years, after all, there is a layer of kinship, and you have grown up now, so you can't say that you have to go and see it." ”

I thought to myself, my mother is working on everything after my dad is gone, so many years I just asked her about my dad's whereabouts when I was a child, she never said, and cried, I was afraid that she would be sad when I was older, so I didn't mention it, Futuling is a poor and remote country, and it is normal to run away, maybe I will die outside.

For many years, my mother has been involved in the family's personal contacts, and now that I have returned to my hometown after graduation, I should also be responsible for the funeral of this distant relative.

After eating, I rode the family's battery car to Dawa Village next door, Zhou Manman wanted to go with me, but she was a girl to see the dead inevitably bad luck, and she would not be too lonely with my mother at home.

When I arrived at Dawa Village, I saw a group of people on the side of the road talking about it, and their eyes showed a little fear, as if they had experienced something terrible.

"How could Lao Yang's son die so miserably, and his death is too terrifying." One woman said.

"Yes, I didn't see that he couldn't close his eyes all the time, staring like something, how could anyone still not close his eyes when he died, obviously he couldn't turn his eyes away." Another woman said.

"Shhhh......h

Hearing these rural women muttering, I felt a little strange in my heart, when I came, my mother didn't tell me how Yang Kuan died, and those who could die young were either in an accident or had some terminal illness, Futu Ridge is steep in the mountains, and the probability of a car accident is generally none, could it be that he went down to the river to bathe and drowned?

I didn't think much about it, I inquired about the address of Yang Kuan's house and rode over, ten miles and eight villages in Futuling, each village has thousands of people. After living together for so many years, everyone knows each other, and as soon as something comes out, the whole village will know about it at night, and if there is anything new, maybe the whole Futu Ridge will know.

Although I had been prepared in my heart, I was still startled when I saw Yang Kuan's death through the crowd. He lay on a straw mat, his hands pinching his neck extremely stiffly, and his eyes were as wide as the eyes of a cow, almost strangled.

Because there is an old custom in Futuling, that is, people who have not married are not allowed to lie in bed after death, so Yang Kuan was placed on the straw mat of the hall. There were many onlookers outside, and some adults were also so frightened that their hairs stood on end, and those who had children at home blindfolded their children and hurriedly pulled them home, for fear that their children would have nightmares when they saw them.

"This is obviously strangled by himself, Xiao Kuan is provoking something unclean!" An old man said.

"Don't talk nonsense, you old thing, if you have anything unclean, you will be like this with fish bones stuck in your throat, and you will be all day long!" Another middle-aged man scolded.

Yang Kuan's eyes bulge like this, it must be that the blood has not returned to the body after death, and it is all filled with the top of the head, so it will cause the entire eyeball to be congested, so that the eyelids cannot be closed.

It's just strange that he has so much strength, and he doesn't let go even when people die, is it really something stuck in his throat?

If you call the police, it's okay to say, the medical examiner will determine the cause of death, but what's the matter with putting people here?

I'm a distant relative, and no one knows me, and for so many adults, I'm just a child, and I can't intervene at all, and I don't have the right to intervene in what they do.

As I passed by the courtyard, I saw a feng shui master in charge of the funeral in their village walking towards the courtyard with a string of wicker bracelets in his hand.

In Futuling, people have to carry wicker on their hands after death, and the wicker wards off evil spirits, saying that the corpse will not be strange if it encounters some special circumstances.

These are the customs of rural funerals I don't know very much, but when I was a child, I heard my mother talk about some, when I came, I have seen the third uncle's door inserted willow branches, this custom is in many places across the country, people have an accident and die with resentment, resentment will invisibly hurt people, so the family is also afraid that the ghosts of relatives will come back, inserted willow branches is to tell the soul of the deceased is now separated by yin and yang, and there is no need to go home in the future.

More and more people gathered at the door, I don't like this noisy environment very much, and I didn't dare to look at Yang Kuan before leaving, first, his death was too scary, and secondly, I always felt like I had seen him somewhere, maybe I played together when I was a child and still had a little impression of his face.

In Futuling, people who have not married have to be buried the day after they die, but the time of burial is after the sun sets, and I can't wait until then, otherwise I won't dare to go home when the moonlit night comes.

When I returned to our Mingyue Village, I vaguely saw an old man standing at the entrance of the village looking at me, and when I got closer, I saw that it was our village's feng shui gentleman, Guo Blind.

When the blind man Guo saw me, he smiled at me and said, "Yang Hao, you are back, have you seen the body of that young man?" ”

I wondered in my heart, how did he know that someone from the other village was dead? So he nodded and said, "I see, a distant relative, who came back after a white affair." ”

"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, but it's familiar, right?" Guo Blind said something for no reason.

I glanced at Guo Blind in surprise, and then figured out his words again. I have good academic performance since I was a child, except for the primary school in Futuling, after the sixth grade are all outside the school, I am the only child in the village who was admitted to the key middle school, everyone knows, many primary school classmates have not seen each other for more than ten years, so it is normal for him to say that I have not seen a relative from another village for more than ten years.

But then I didn't like what the blind man said, he said: "You have black gas on the top of your head, I'm afraid you've messed with something unclean!" ”

"your grandma, you've messed with something unclean!" I scolded in my heart, because he was an elder, I didn't scold him in person, and besides, Guo was blind and alone, and he was blind in one eye, so I said angrily: "Go aside." ”

But I hadn't taken a few steps in the car when I suddenly remembered something that gave me the creeps.

After Zhou Manman was dragged out by several hooligans that day, they did not get into the car, so those people survived the car accident.

And Yang Kuan is like one of the hooligans!
