Chapter 2

Since the last time I saw the white snake, I was scared every time I walked at night, and even when I got up at night to go to the toilet, I had to turn on all the lights in the yard.

Maybe it's because of my young age, but it affected me for a long time.

Later, a few days later, my dad came back from Beijing, and as soon as I got home from school, my dad pulled me and said, "Come and see what I bought for you"

While being pulled by my dad, I was thinking about what kind of fun toy it was, but I was looking forward to it.

Walking inside, my dad took a box out of his bag.

At the time, I didn't know what kind of material it was made of, but it smelled good anyway.

But I was disappointed when I saw this box.

It's obviously not a toy!

But my dad still looks like a very dick, and he just won't open it.

Obviously they were trying to whet my appetite, but I wasn't interested.

casually said, "You can keep it and play."

After saying that, I turned around and walked out, and now I began to think about what my mother cooked.

My dad didn't think I was interested, and he was in a hurry.

Grab me. "Come on, come on, show you."

I was pulled over by him and sat down with a look-a-look attitude.

The box was opened by my father, and inside was a bead, the kind that resembled jade but not jade, strung on a milky white silk thread.

My dad said "for you, bring it and try it"

"Without it"

I wasn't interested at all, because there were very few boys in rural villages who wore necklaces.

Again, get in the way.

My dad really didn't want me: "Don't worry, listen to me"

"Just say it," I said, but I was already standing up because I could already smell the smell of the kitchen.

My dad said to himself, "This bead has a origin, be obedient and bring it"

"What's the origin?" I asked

My dad saw that my curiosity was aroused: I had opened the light to the master in Beijing, and I made it specially for you, to ward off evil spirits."

"You just bring it and try it, if it doesn't look good, you can take it off again, right?"

"Okay," I thought to myself, perfunctory to him.

My dad smiled and waited for me to bring it, but before I could speak, he said, "It's very good-looking, give you 10 yuan to bring it."

I was thrilled when I heard this 10 yuan.

Because at that time, a dime was pocket money, and a dollar was a tyrant in front of his classmates.

Ten bucks! Shenhao.

"Deal!"

I didn't feel anything after wearing it, it was very light and light, and if it wasn't for the touch on the skin, I wouldn't feel anything on my neck at all.

……

Then I took ten dollars, and I went to my mother to show it.

After telling my mom, my mom didn't say anything to save money or anything.

Instead, he told me uncharacteristically, I must take good care of this bead and don't lose it.

I thought to myself, is this bead valuable?

Of course I don't believe what my dad said, what master opened the light and customized it for me.

But it was this bead that saved me when I grew up.

……

After dinner, it was about seven o'clock, and I came to see me.

His name is Cao Hui, he is the same age as me, but he is a few months younger than me, and he calls me brother.

Our village is basically surnamed Wang, and only our Liao Liao family is surnamed Cao, which means that the relationship between the two of us is the best.

The first thing he said when he came up was "The watermelons in the south are ripe, how many are you going to mold?" ”

"Who are they?" I asked

"Daqing, I'm waiting at the head of the village," he whispered to me

"Did you bring them all?" I asked

Like when we go to the mold melon, they are usually picked and eaten, and there will be no ones to bring home.

One is that the melon is too young, and the melon is too heavy, and the other is that if I come back with a melon in the middle of the night, my mother will be able to kill me.

"I've brought it all, and I'm leaving you alone"

As he spoke, he dragged me out of the house.

My mom was still yelling in the back, come back early in the evening, don't run around.

I didn't answer her, Xiaohui and I ran to the south of the village.

Xiaohui is also a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, slightly fat, the kind of flesh, and if he is not a person who is too strong, he doesn't like to communicate with people more.

But to talk about a fight or something, it's also a ruthless stubble.

But he's listened to me since he was a kid, and it's basically the kind I say to the east and not to the west.

……

The two of us arrived at the head of the village after a while, and joined Daqing and Jingxiao.

Da Qing was holding a piece of clothing in his arms, wrapped in something, bulging.

I know, that's going to be a "guy thing".

The four of them are all about the same age, and they are young, at least there is a certain tacit understanding in communication.

When they saw that we had arrived, they did not speak, but we looked at each other and set out for the south.

On the way, Daqing opened the clothes in his arms, and there were four twenty-centimeter-long knives inside, the kind that had not been bladed.

We just steal a watermelon, and we don't need to be sharp, and when the time comes, we will stab it with a knife and cut it hard, as long as it is ripe, the watermelon will basically open.

We each had one hand, and we didn't have a flashlight or anything, so we smeared and went to the ground.

In the melon field, there are usually people who build a grass hut to sleep in and watch the melons, so we don't dare to use flashlights.

It may be that the weather is not very good today, and there is no moon or stars in the sky, and it is only seven o'clock and less than eight o'clock, and the sky is already dark.

In addition, it was in a field of crops, with a hazy layer of fog and visibility of less than two meters.

I walked side by side for about ten minutes, and then I saw Xiaohui and said, "Slow down, it's here"

I looked closely, and found that there were rows of big trees on both sides of the road, and some people had thick waists, covering the sky and the sun, and I couldn't see which one was which.

But he seems to have stepped on it a little better during the day.

The cat bent on his waist, made a shushing gesture, and led me to the right side of the road.

After walking four or five meters, he reached the ground, and Xiaohui was the first to climb down and climb inside.

We've not done this once or twice.

They all climbed down silently and separated and crawled inside.

If you have a family in the countryside, you should know that watermelons near the roadside or woods are generally sparse, small and not sweet.

So the four of us fanned inward.

In fact, stealing melons does not mean that the family is poor and can't afford to eat, for this sense of excitement, if you really want to eat, you really can't eat much, and in the end, most of the people who steal a lot are still scourges and wastes.

I climbed forward about six or seven meters away, I reached out and touched one, I felt that the size was okay, so I touched the melon circle, found the melon vine, cut it with a knife, and walked back with the cat waist holding the melon.

I'm quite proud, I think I'm the first to get it.

Because I didn't hear any other sounds, when normal people steal, as long as they succeed, they are basically no longer so careful, and they all run first regardless of it.

When I ran for a while, I felt that something was wrong, because I remember that from the side of the road to the point where I touched the melon, it would not be more than 20 meters at most.

But I ran down this section to say about 50 meters, and there was still a melon field in front of me.

There was not even the slightest sound around, not even the sound of insects, toads, birds.

I was a little drumming in my heart, and I tried to take a few steps back, but I still couldn't see the road we came from, and I didn't see any big trees.

At that time, I didn't care so much, so I stood up and ran in one direction.

The direction I ran was in the direction of our village.

I've heard my mom say that if you get lost, you just need to know where your home is in that general direction, and no matter how you turn on the road, as long as you look in that direction, you will always go to the road you know.

I've tried this method before, and it works.

This time, I also went to look for the direction of the village, thinking that some people haven't slept yet, and there will always be a few lights in this huge village.

I ran around like crazy for five or six minutes, and the watermelons didn't know where they had been thrown, and I was sweating all over my body, and there was still a white mist around me, and fields of crops.

I was completely frightened in my heart, and I couldn't care so much anymore, so I shouted loudly

"Cao Hui! Wang Qing? Did you hear that!? ”

No one answered me, it felt like the whole world was white fog, green crops, and I was the only one standing in the center.

I was really about to cry, not to mention a child, even an adult would be scared.

Just when I felt like I was about to collapse, I heard someone in the field in front of me, and I couldn't hear exactly what was being said.

There is only one person here who watches melons except for the four of us, but no matter what he says or who he is, at least there are people.

I was overjoyed, thinking to myself that these sand sculptures, I shouted so loudly that they couldn't hear me?

It's not like I didn't think they were trying to scare me, but I quickly denied it.

Because even if Daqing and Jingxiao have the intention to scare me, I believe that Cao Hui will not do this, and if I think about it from my perspective, I will never scare him like this.

An inexplicable affection, or a relationship.

……

I ran in the direction of what I had just heard.

Because I was very excited, I tripped under my feet in a hurry, and fell into the mud.

But I didn't feel much pain, and I thought about getting out quickly.

I immediately got up and walked on, swearing at what had just fallen on me.

As soon as he walked two or three steps, he heard a sound of footsteps behind him, the sound of several people running.

Because the footsteps were chaotic and fast, I also heard Jingxiao's voice, "Hurry up, this way!" ”

I didn't even think about turning around and running towards Jingxiao.

Apparently they were there, and where I had heard someone talking, it was clear that it was safer to be here.

I hadn't been long enough to see the three of them running towards me and waving at me.

When I ran over, the three of them looked at me curiously and asked, "Where's your melon?" ”

I:......

I really wanted to stab at the time, "When are you still asking me melons?" ”

They may also sense something is wrong with me and ask me "What's wrong?" ”

I didn't answer, and asked, "Where did you just go?" Didn't you hear that? ”

Cao Hui said, "Who are you calling?" We touched the melon and gathered on the side of the road, and after waiting for a while, we didn't see you coming, so we came in to look for you again, and I heard you scolding here, who are you scolding? ”

I hurriedly beckoned them to leave.

They asked me what was going on along the way, and I ignored them.

It wasn't until I walked to the village and saw a few lights that I told them about it one by one.

After that, we had a discussion, and the end result was that we had a ghost hitting the wall.

After saying something, I won't go anywhere to touch melons anymore, and so on.

Then they went back to their respective homes and looked for their mothers.

Later, after a long time, I learned that when I encountered a ghost hitting the wall, it was actually very easy to crack.

For example, peeing, or scolding, being fierce, lighting a fire, and smoking a cigarette are basically fine.

It is also possible that some ghosts hit the wall with good intentions to prevent you from moving on, and there is likely to be great danger ahead.

It may be someone close to you who is holding you back, or it may be some kind imp.
