Abacus Chen, if it is calculated by generation, I have to call him grandpa. But at that time, at a young age, under the influence of nine years of compulsory education, he resolutely chose to believe in science and not believe in superstition. Therefore, I have little contact with this abacus Grandpa Chen, but I know that he will often be picked up by cars.

At that time, cars were a very rare thing in the countryside. But the most familiar is the Phoenix brand 28 bars, or the three-yard tractor. Whenever it rains, a relative has to drive a tractor, and there is a two-wheeled pocket hanging behind it, and many families sit on it and go.

But if you encounter a muddy road and can't get through, you have to get down and push the cart collectively.

After several years of changes, almost everyone in our village has a car. Gradually, what I used to think was rare when I was a child is not so rare now.

And Grandpa Chen, the abacus, is rarely at home in a year. Most of them are outside, and I heard my grandmother say that he can look at feng shui, acupuncture points, and fortune telling. But whether it is accurate, watching the two ends of the car be picked up in three days, this is enough to explain something.

My grandmother once told me that the Qinglan Expressway outside our village passes through our village. The distance is not far, especially since there is a section of road ahead, which passes directly south of our village, and leaves a culvert on the main road.

The entrance to the cave was facing a cross street in our village, which was the street that separated our village from east to west.

It is also possible that this is really the case, when Abacus Chen was still alive, he said such a sentence: "The culvert left by the high speed is very bad for the people in the east of our village, and it is likely that something will happen." ”

Of course, no one took his words to heart. In the face of many people's disbelief and doubts, Abacus Chen had no choice but to give up and continue to say anything, but specifically said that before he died, he said such a sentence: "Every year a strong man dies in our village." ”

Since the official opening of Qinglan Expressway, that is, three years ago. It is true that one person dies in our village every year at this season, and all of them are in their forties.

Now that I think about it, Abacus Chen's statement is really right, but even if I know it now, it's too late. You can't let that highway break off, right? At least we people can't do it.

When I came to Chen Tiancheng's house, there were already many people here, all sitting and chatting. After I came over, I greeted some of the elders and asked what was going on.

A man named Chen Jinglong, who was standing next to me, whispered: "It's nothing, everything that should be done is done now." When are you coming back? ”

I looked at this Chen Jinglong, who was not much older than me, and said to him: "I just came back, don't always call Xiaomu Xiaomu, I have grown up." ”

"Really? How old is it? Chen Jinglong looked at me with a wicked smile, this person just doesn't have a good line. After graduating from junior high school, I didn't go to school, and then I worked everywhere.

But I heard that he is playing some games and live broadcasting now, and his income is also good.

After seeing that there was nothing wrong, and then asking, I will go to the funeral tomorrow, and I will come here tonight to pay tribute. After staying for a while, and seeing that it was okay, I went back, after all, Yuan Lei was still waiting for me at home.

When I got home, I saw Yuan Lei sleeping in my room. I didn't bother him and went to my mother's room.

She didn't rest, she was making cotton clothes, waiting for the snow to wear for the winter.

I came to my mother and asked, "Mom, do you remember what Abacus Chen said, that one person dies in our village every year, this sentence?" ”

My mother was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Silly boy, how can you believe his words?" That's all a lie, don't think about it. ”

Is it really a lie? I don't believe it. I continued to ask, "If it's a lie, why are so many cars coming to pick her up?" You also know that when I was a child, I had the idea of learning from him, but you didn't let me go. I was really young at the time, but now I still don't know and I don't understand why. ”

She didn't speak, and the needlework in her hand was put down. I looked at her and couldn't wait to know why. But in the end, I didn't get the answer, and my mother made up a reason to prevaricate me, and it wasn't until years later that I didn't know what it was, but that's a story for later.

I walked out of the room, and when I returned to my room, Yuan Lei had already woken up.

"What's wrong?" She asked, rubbing her somewhat hazy eyes.

I stroked her head and said, "It's nothing, are you sleepy?" If you're sleepy, go back to sleep! ”

"Not so sleepy."

"Well, let's go back tomorrow! I've got some things to do tonight, okay? ”

Yuan Lei nodded, and then said, "Okay, listen to you." ”

I looked at her, this Yuan Lei, who was no different from an ordinary girl, but who could know that her true face was a ghost? If I hadn't encountered that, I'm afraid I'd have been kept in the dark.

I asked her, "Were you here to help me from the beginning?" ”

Yuan Lei was stunned by my question for a few seconds, and then asked me, "Why did you remember to ask this?" ”

"Nothing, I just want to know." I replied.

"Do you remember being on Penglai Immortal Island?"

I nodded, wasn't that a dream I had? I thought, how did she know?

"Actually, I'm not a ghost, maybe it's because of chance! When I woke up, I had a date leaf on my body, and it was this date leaf that took me to you. But I couldn't meet you directly, I was still a ghost. Coincidentally, I met a corpse that had just been buried, and I took her body and resurrected her. ”

"Actually, I helped you to repay your kindness. If it weren't for that leaf you threw down, I'm afraid I'd have been gone. ”

That leaf? I still remember when the crane was about to send me back. The leaf flew out between my fingers because of the strong wind, and I didn't take it properly. At first, I didn't know what the leaf was for, but when the crane knew it was missing, it immediately threw me down.

It was really a coincidence, and this leaf fell on Yuan Lei's body and resurrected Yuan Lei. No wonder the crane values this leaf so much, it turns out that this leaf has such a high ability.

Now I can rest assured, Yuan Lei is here to repay the favor. If it weren't for me, she might still be asleep and wouldn't have woken up at all.

It's just that I don't know, was it a dream or was it real? But when it seemed so real to me, it seemed like it was a dream. When it felt like a dream, it was so real.
