I flattened my mouth, feeling that I really didn't have a position, and asked him. And he said: "This kind of thing is usually asked by people's families. You're just a teacher, and it's not appropriate for you to ask. ”
"But the kid still looks fine, and he certainly hasn't noticed anything unusual in his house."
"That's what happened at home, too. In this mountain village, there are enough lonely souls and wild ghosts, and the more children and the less children have little impact on me. ”
"It has a big impact on their parents."
"Didn't they know it yet? Before you know it, it will have an impact. ”
I couldn't speak, I always felt that what Jiang Lichen said was right, but it was not right.
The next day, when I went to school, I went to see the boy in particular. I always think, since I already know that the boy is not a normal person, how can I still pretend that I don't know anything?
During class, I asked the first graders to do their homework, and I went to their class to have a look. The boy was sleeping on his stomach on the table. The teacher in their class didn't take it seriously. I didn't say this school. There are a total of 12 primary schools in this township. There is one primary school in the center of the township, and the others are all village elementary schools. In the school where I worked, my exam scores were the lowest in the township every year. In the whole class, there were twenty-four people, only two people were excellent, ten people passed, and most of them failed. The old teachers are all local, and they work half a day at home in half a day. Now in a class, the teacher is talking, and the other students are sleeping in a fight, and the teacher doesn't care at all. Speak only to a few good children sitting in front of you.
I silently said to myself in my heart, I want to change! From the first grade of our class!
But that's the ideal and goal for the future. Now all I think about is what the hell is going on with that boy. In the case of Jiang Lichen's big sun, he can't come out at all, can this boy still come to class?
The boy seemed to see me, opened his eyes, looked at me standing at the back door of the classroom, and I glared at him unceremoniously before walking back to our class.
Sitting on the podium and watching the children below copying pinyin, I thought back to the scene just now. The boy's eyes didn't seem right. When he first opened it, it seemed like it was ...... Vertical pupils! That's not the human eye. That kid wasn't human at all.
So, what about the kid? Where did the child with the missing teeth go?
After class, I went to their homeroom teacher and asked about the boy. He has only one grandmother at home to take care of two children, the grandfather of the two children died early, and both parents are working in the county. I thought that I would be able to make a fortune by going out to work, but who knows, after the people in this village go out, very few people can get rich. Just like the couple, the money is earned, but the man is good at gambling, and the gambling is gone.
The boy's younger brother happened to be a student in our class. It's a good opportunity, it's good, I'm the head teacher, so I have an excuse to go to the boy's house.
I also know that it will be dangerous for me to go like this, and I also understand what Jiang Lichen said last night, I shouldn't be nosy. But I knew that something had happened to the child, but I couldn't help him, and I, a teacher, always had a pimple in my heart.
So after school, I took my younger brother and the boy to their house under the pretext that I was going to visit the child's house.
On the way, as soon as someone saw me walking with the students, they said, "Yo, teacher, what about home visits?" It's been years since a teacher visited my home. Teacher Yin, there is no serious man in their family, why don't you go to my house for a visit? Then tomorrow I will let my baby boy, fight a few times, and you can also come to my house to visit. Hahaha"
The man laughed lewdly, and I could only pretend not to hear it.
The boy's house was soon there, it was a very small house, just one room, and the cooking was outside under the eaves, with two beds facing each other and a table for eating. And he threw his clothes on the bed, and he did not clean them up. There was a cow pen next to the house, and there was a cow in it, which was the most valuable thing in their house.
Out of the house came an old lady with a wok, and I couldn't understand what she was saying in dialect. The younger brother came back, and he helped the old lady get some firewood, but the elder brother squatted directly at the door, chewing grass roots there.
The old lady never stopped, and I couldn't understand what he said. simply pulled his younger brother and said, "Tell your grandmother that my brother fell on the mountain a few days ago." ”
My younger brother was taught by me, and he was very well-behaved, and he immediately relayed my words. Grandma muttered again, and the younger brother told me, "Grandma knows, those adults have told grandma." ”
"My brother is no longer my brother. The real brother is gone. "I pointed to the old lady and asked my brother to convey it. Actually, after that, I don't think it's appropriate. After all, what brother is not brother, the old lady may not understand such awkward words. Or to put it bluntly? But the boy was squatting not far from us, and if I were too blunt, would he turn his face and get angry if he was really a goblin?
Sure enough, the old lady didn't understand and said a lot. My brother said to me, "Teacher, I'm going to fetch water." Grandma said that our family does not have enough rice, so we can't keep you to eat, so let you leave quickly. ”
A child is a child, and he will not be a tactful to say these words. Everyone said so, and I had no choice but to go back.
It's just that on the way home, the boy followed me from a short distance and not a short distance. When he arrived at the vegetable field where no one was around, he suddenly spoke: "Hey, Teacher Yin. ”
I looked back at him and waited for him to continue. He said, "Don't look for him, you won't find him." From now on, I will be him. With that, he ran away in a flash. It's not gone, it's run away. It's very fast.
Now, I panicked. I hesitated for a moment, and then ran towards the Jiang family's old house. Rushing into the yard, panting for breath, looking at the yard, Jiang Lichen, who was watering the small flower that I was giving me with rice washing water, said what happened just now with panting and gesturing.
Finally, he concluded: "In other words, the boy is really not the original him. He must have been someone else. But he went to someone's house. Will he hurt that family. When I was a child, my mother told me a story about a mountain bear woman, that is, a monster in the mountains, entered a family with children, and when he slept with the child at night, he ate the child. Sections of bones, intestines, were thrown out of the mosquito net. The boy ...... He...... What do you want? ”
Jiang Lichen put down the cooking pot in his hand and said, "Are the teeth still there?" ”
"In! At! ”
"I'll go out with you after dinner."
He finally offered to help, and I nodded my head hurriedly.
After eating, I quickly changed my shoes, stood in front of the door of the main house, and waited for Jiang Lichen. Jiang Lichen looked at me, reached out and touched the top of my head, and said, "Very well-behaved, it's really like a Xi Shi I raised before." ”
I was stunned for a moment, this guy actually compared me to a dog! Then I found the problem in his sentence. "You used to raise Shih Tzu? When you were alive? The Xi Shi of the Republic of China was raised by the aunts and wives of rich people. You must have such a beautiful woman next to you. Using a dog to trap a woman, intelligence, amazing! ”
Jiang Lichen stopped: "No more nonsense, I won't go." ”
"Okay, I won't say, let's go! Dead dogs! "I walked out of the main house first, and I didn't see his calm face.
Out of the village, we walked towards the place where the boy had fallen down the hill last time. It's pitch black, and even if you have a flashlight in your hand, you'll feel scared. I pulled the corner of his coat with one hand and a flashlight with the other. But he had his hands in his trouser pockets, and he walked like he was walking.
Ten minutes later, we walked down the hill, and I pointed to the top and told him that the child had fallen from there.
Jiang Lichen stretched out his hand towards me and said, "Teeth." ”
I handed the two corn kernels the same teeth. His hand flipped over, and a white lantern appeared in his hand. The white lantern was familiar, but it was definitely not the one he used to signal me to sleep, because there was no name written in blood on it. It was a pure white lantern. The fire burned in the white lantern.
Jiang Lichen took the tooth in my hand, rubbed it directly with his fingers above the lantern, and it turned out to be powder, and sprinkled the powder into the mouth above the lantern, and the flame in the lantern also jumped a few times, and then the light of the flame changed. It's no longer that pure white light, but a little red light.
In the white lantern, the red light gradually increased, and finally, blood seeped on the white lantern.
I cowered behind him in fear and took his arm. He just took the lantern and shook it left and right, and just shook it a few times, and a lot of red points of light appeared around him.
The spots of light flew down the hillside, and it felt like the last time I saw the boy's blood and teeth.
The red dots began to float forward, as if they had been blown by the wind. I asked, "These are, take us to the children?" ”
"Yes, follow along!" He took my hand, took the bleeding white lantern, and followed the red dot in front of him. At this time, if anyone sees us, they will definitely shout: "There are ghosts!" ”
The road we took gradually became dead. We have deviated from the usual range of activities of the people in the village. There are a lot of weeds here, but when Jiang Lichen walks by, the grass in front of him seems to automatically split into a path. I really don't know how he did it. Even some branches would avoid him. A large group of small mosquitoes that were common in the wild, after he approached, also flew away.
Everything here seems to be as he pleases.
I whispered, "Are you amazing?" These trees and little mosquitoes, all make way for you. ”
"It's not that I'm good, it's that I've been here for too long, and I've integrated into this mountain village. Everything here is familiar to me. ”
