35, the first night (I)
I was completely stupefied, such a huge thing appeared on such a night, it was hard not to think about it, I stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to run for my life or to catch this thing, and I heard my dad's voice outside: "Why did this cat run in again." ”
I wanted to call my dad, but I found that there was something in my throat, and I couldn't make a sound at all, and then I saw this huge mouse suddenly running towards me, and I was so frightened that I immediately collapsed on the ground, and I felt that my legs were weak and I sat on the ground, but the mouse came into my room with a hula, and I only heard a rustling sound, and then there was no sound.
I sat on the ground and felt that my soul was almost frightened, my eyes looked at the room in a daze, for fear that the next moment, it would run out again, after a while, as if time was so frozen, the whole room was a deathly silence, I eased up a little, I felt a little stronger, but my hands and feet were shaking badly, just when I was about to stand up, I suddenly heard a "bang" sound from the room, as if something had broken, I was startled coldly, The strength that had just been relieved was instantly drained again, and he couldn't stand up when he sat on the ground.
After a long time, I never saw my father come in, and I felt that something was not quite right, and I was scared, and suddenly I heard something around me, and I followed the source, and saw that my dead grandfather's hand was moving, and the hand that had been placed on his side was suddenly put on his face, and he was about to take off the black cloth covering his face.
When I saw this scene, there was only one thought in my mind, which was to get out of here immediately, but my legs and stomach were so weak that I couldn't stand up at all, I tried to climb outside, and finally reached the edge of the threshold, but I saw my dad squatting under the eaves, motionless and didn't know what he was doing, but at this time I couldn't care so much, so I called him, how do I know that it was okay not to shout, and he turned his head gloomily, smiled at me weirdly, and didn't speak, just laughed like that, At that moment, I felt like he had changed back to the way I had feared him the most, like he was a different person entirely.
The successive shocks finally made me unable to bear it anymore, I only felt my head "buzz", and I began to hear nothing, and then I only saw my dad still squatting there and laughing, and finally I didn't know anything.
When I woke up again, I opened my eyes and felt a little dazzling, dizzy, and I heard my mom say, "Wake up." ”
I didn't know where I was for a while, my mind was completely blank, and I saw my grandmother, my mom and my dad all around me, but when I saw my dad, I instinctively shrank a little, feeling a little scared, my dad was stunned for a moment when he saw my reaction, so he asked me, "Wood, do you feel better?" ”
Then the scene before I fainted came to my mind like a tide, I tried to sit up, and I found that I was still in the hall, and I felt that a long time had passed, but in fact I had only fainted for a minute, and my grandmother put her arms around me and asked me, "Wood, what's wrong with you?" ”
I looked at the long table in the hall, and saw that it was empty, and my grandfather's body was gone. ”
Grandma said, "Don't worry about this yet, the ground is cold, you stand up first." ”
I found that I was still lying on the ground, probably suddenly, before they could move me away, I stood up only to feel a little staggering, I was still worried about the fact that my grandfather's body was missing, so I asked: "Just now I saw my grandfather move, it seems to be a corpse." ”
My grandmother looked at my dad and them, as if there was something hiding from me, so I was anxious and asked them, "What the hell is going on, you say." ”
My dad said, "Actually, we don't know what happened just now, I just went out to chase the cat, and when I came in, I saw you fall to the ground, your grandfather's body is gone, and we also said that when you wake up, ask you what happened, why did you faint on the ground, and where did your grandfather's body go." ”
I listened to the sound of my head "buzzing" again, only to feel that my head was blank again, but I instinctively said, "It must have been taken by the big mouse, or how could it have appeared in the hall." ”
My grandmother listened and asked, "Big rat, what big rat?" ”
I looked at my grandmother and said to her, "We have a rat the size of a man, you don't know, I saw it last time I went down into the well, and its tail is as thick as my arm." ”
When I said this, my mother gasped and exclaimed, "How could there be such a big mouse?" ”
Who knew that my grandmother's expression was very normal, and she didn't seem to be surprised at all by what she said to me, she said, "Yes, I've seen this mouse too." ”
My dad looked at my grandmother and asked, "Mom, have you seen it too?" ”
Speaking of this big mouse, my grandmother was a little panicked, and then she said to my dad: "At that time, I was just pregnant with your brother, one night my dad went out to do work and didn't come back very late, I was alone at home, I saw a rope-like thing dragged down from the beam, so I went over to look, who knew that when I got closer, I saw a person lying on the beam, it turned out to be a big mouse, staring at me, I was also scared like a wood, but fortunately the mouse did not attack people, It quickly ran from the beam to the building and ran from the roof, but because I was frightened, I felt uncomfortable in my stomach that night, and then I almost miscarried, and your uncle almost couldn't save it in my stomach at that time, but I didn't expect that he left early later. ”
When my grandmother told me about it, my dad asked, "Didn't you look for where it was hiding in the house, and you should have found it and killed it at that time." ”
My grandmother said, "Why haven't you looked for it, your grandfather turned the whole house upside down, but he couldn't find any trace of it, and then this thing never appeared again, so I gave up, but I didn't think that after almost forty years, it was still alive, and it was still hiding in our house." ”
I heard my grandmother talk about this stubble, which happened to coincide with the incident recorded in the yellow stick, so I asked my grandmother: "After that, did we have a rat infestation in our house, and my father was bitten by rats?" ”
My grandmother looked at me suddenly, almost incredulously, and said, "How do you know, even your dad doesn't remember this?" ”
My dad was stunned when he heard this, so he asked my grandmother, "I was bitten by this mouse?" ”
My grandmother looked at me and then at my father, and then said, "It's not that you were bitten by this mouse, if this mouse bites someone, how can you still live, it was bitten by the average size mouse in the family and the ear, it's not particularly heavy, and it has a little hole." ”
My dad said, "How do you know about the wood, grandpa told you?" ”
At this time, I didn't know whether to hide it anymore, and finally felt that my grandfather had passed away, and it was not right to blame him for this, so I said: "I picked up a note at home that looks like my grandfather's notebook, which says this, and ......"
I said and looked at my grandmother, I found that my grandmother's expression began to be a little wrong when she heard my words, I was a little weak, and my voice was quieter, I said: "It said that in order to get rid of the rodent infestation, the family invited a cat ghost to come back, I estimated that it was the jar we saw at the bottom of the well a while ago, so the cat ghost did not appear in our house for no reason, but should be specially invited back from the outside by my grandfather." ”
My father's face changed when he heard this, so he asked my grandmother, "Mom, is this so, is what the wood said true?" ”
My grandmother said to my father: "Yes, at that time, the rats in the house were like rushing to the market, almost everywhere there were rats, not only biting things, but also biting people at night, in fact, these were nothing, at that time, which household did not have rats, and it was normal for many rats to take medicine, but then something happened, and your grandfather went to find the master to do this method." ”
