I was so frightened that I immediately ran away, and looked back, there was a shadow poking out of the door of Mrs. Meng's house, and suddenly I groaned in pain, as if I had hit someone, and looked up to see that it was grandpa.

Grandpa carried me on his shoulders and led me away without saying a word, I didn't say anything along the way, and grandpa didn't ask me anything, until I arrived at the door of the house I said a little timidly: "Grandpa, will Huzi come back?" ”

I was afraid that my grandfather would say that Huzi would never come back, so I wanted to say that the original scalpers would not come to me again.

Grandpa was silent, touched my head and told me to go home.

I don't know what grandpa means, but I feel a little sad in my heart, because I think maybe Huzi will never come back.

That night, a woman's cry resounded in Wangjia Village, like a ghost's cry.

The next day, the haggard Huzi's father and Huzi's mother went to the town to report to the police, and then they went to several nearby villages to look for Huzi, but they did not find it after all.

In the evening, my mother made a big pot of rice, and then went to invite Huzi's parents to dinner.

Mother said: "Huzi Dad, Huzi Mom, I can understand your feelings when the child is lost, my girl didn't make me haggard back then, people are iron rice is steel, how much to eat, tomorrow I will go with you to find it, and go to the county to post a search notice." ”

Huzi's father said: "Sister-in-law, don't bother you, you have helped enough." ”

Mother said: "The villagers in the township are neighbors again, Huzi is such a fat boy who lost me as a mother is also distressed, we should find it together, eat some food first, go back at night and sleep well, tomorrow morning, let's go to the county seat together." ”

Huzi's father and Huzi's mother listened to their mother's words and then picked up chopsticks to eat, Huzi's mother suddenly cried after eating a few bites, she said: "I can't eat." ”

"Lao Qi, if you eat some more, go back to rest with Huzi's mother, I haven't closed my eyes for two days and two nights." Father said.

After eating and sending away Huzi's parents that night, my father glanced at my mother with a vague look, and my mother nodded, pulled me to the hall and said, "Don't come close to Huzi's parents when you see them in the future, don't go to their house, do you know?" ”

I shook my head and asked, "Why?" ”

Mother said: "You and Huzi had a good time in the morning, and then he was gone, even if they knew that Huzi lost it had nothing to do with us, but there was a pimple in the heart, people's hearts are separated from the belly, let's guard against it, this happened in the neighboring village." ”

I nodded, my mother was afraid that Huzi's parents would not be good for me, although I didn't understand why adults had such thoughts at that time, but I knew that my mother always told me for my own good.

That night, I had a dream that Huzi was hiding in the dark, and he said to me, "Yoko, I'm so cold. ”

I said, "Huzi, where are you?" ”

Huzi said, "I don't know. ”

"Do you see me, take my hand." I reached out and took two steps forward to the place where the sound came, and I felt the tiger's fat little hand, which was cold to the bone, but I didn't let go, I gritted my teeth and tried to pull him out of the darkness, but I fell on my back and fell to the ground.

And I still hold a hand in my hand, and the bloody one on it is the hand of the tiger.

I was so frightened that I opened my eyes suddenly, and my hands and feet couldn't help but move, and my mother was awakened by my movement, and she knew that I was having a nightmare, and she leaned her body against me, and wrapped her arms around me like a hen protecting her chicks, and then when I woke up again, it was already dawn.

My mother left a small note next to my pillow with a line written on it: Rice in the pot, be careful of burning your hands.

I got up, washed my face, and then ate breakfast on the table by myself, and after breakfast I went to my grandfather's house, but my grandfather didn't know where he went, and when I turned around, I saw Dasha walking towards me.

Dasha ran to me excitedly, beckoning as he ran, and said, "Boss, come to my house to see that there is a big red fish in the well!" ”

I excitedly followed Dasha to the yard of his house, and from a distance I saw a big red carp swimming around in his new well, and a long rainbow was dragging behind the carp, just like the little red fish that Wu Zhenren released from the crystal, but the size of the one in front of me was larger.

How could there be such a big red carp in the new well? We don't know.

"Do you want to fish it up?" Dasha asked me for advice, and I nodded, thinking it was funny.

The river in Wangjia Village has been dry for a hundred years, and no one has any fishing tools, so we will not be able to find something to take advantage of for a while, so we want to put some steamed buns in the bucket to lure the red carp into the bucket, and then carry it up.

Dasha took out half a piece of steamed bread from the stove, took a bite with some distress, and then put it in his bucket, he slowly sank the bucket into the crystal clear new well, and sure enough, the red carp really slowly swam into the bucket, and I shouted excitedly: "Hurry up!" ”

Dasha lifted the bucket up violently, and then excitedly used his big hand to protect the bucket, he held his breath and glanced into the bucket, his face suddenly showed a disappointed expression, I pulled his hand away, there was no bucket!

And the strange thing is that when we look back at the well, there is no red carp in the well either, and it has just disappeared.

Dasha was a little scared and said, "Boss, are we hitting a ghost!" ”

I said, "Don't be afraid, a little fish, even if it's a ghost, what's there to be afraid of!" ”

Dasha felt a little relieved when he heard me say this, and he didn't mention the red carp again.

At noon, the stupid lady came back from the market with a vegetable basket, and asked me to stay and eat when she saw me playing with Dasha.

When my father and mother came to me, they saw that I was playing cards with Dasha, so they took Dasha aside and said to him: "Dasha, you have to treat Wang Yang as your own brother, these days are not peaceful, when I am not at home with your uncle, you must protect him." ”

Dasha smiled innocently and said, "Auntie, he is not my younger brother, he is the boss, I will definitely protect my good boss." ”

Mother smiled, touched Dasha's head, and asked Dasha to come to our house for dinner in the evening, and bring one for his mother.

At night, my tired father and mother lay in bed and fell asleep shortly after, and I knew that they must not have found Huzi again today.

I kept my eyes open and stared at the beams in the darkness until I faintly heard the sound of the tiger coming from me again.

"Yoko, I'm so cold."

I remembered last night's dream, when I pulled out a bloody hand while pulling Huzi in the dark, I was a little scared, so I said to him, "Huzi, I'm afraid." ”

Huzi's voice was crying: "I'm also afraid, but I can't move, I seem to be pressed by something, it's very dark and cold here, why don't you come to save me." ”

I said, "Your mom and dad and my mom and dad are looking for you, they've been looking for you for days, don't you know where you are?" ”

Huzi said, "I don't know, Yoko, I want to go home." ”

Huzi cried as he spoke.

I wanted to cry when he cried like this, so I said, "Huzi, think about it, we played in front of the house for a while that morning, and where did you go after that?" ”

Huzi said: "I don't know, I can't remember." ”

I asked again, "Think about it, do you remember that you gave me a piece of candy?" ”

Huzi stopped crying and said, "Is it coconut candy?" ”

I hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, the red candy wrapper, that's it, I've been carrying it with me and I'm not willing to eat it." ”

As I spoke, I reached into my pocket, but strangely enough, the candy was gone.

And in the darkness, Huzi's voice came crying, and he said, "Yangzi, I remembered, I ate the candy ...... Mrs. Meng gave me."

His voice was getting quieter and quieter, and I remembered that I had put the coconut candy in the pocket of the coat that my mother had sewn for me, how could it be gone? I didn't realize I was dreaming.

"Huzi, wait, the candy that Mrs. Meng gave you, where did you go later?" I asked him out loud.

Huzi's voice came like nothing: "When you came to me, asked my dad to bring two more clothes, I was so cold...... Also, don't let my mom come..."

"Huzi!" I cried out loud and cried.

My mother turned on the lights and asked me if I was having a nightmare.

Only then did I know that it was a dream, but the feeling was different from the dream, it was as real as when the scalper came to pick me up, although I couldn't see the tiger in the dream, but I could really feel the cold, a cold that went deep into the bone marrow.

I said with tears in my eyes: "Mom, Huzi is in the refrigerator at Mrs. Meng's house." ”
