"Mother...... Mother......"

In the darkness, the immature call woke up the sleeping Liu Cuizhu.

Crunch squeak –

The old wooden bed sounded.

"What time is this, what's wrong Xiaobao, is it cold?"

Stroking his trembling son in his arms, Liu Cuizhu tightened the heavy futon.

"Daddy...... Daddy was laughing outside......"

Children of a few years old, whose ability to express themselves are still limited, can clearly feel the fear when they say such a sentence.

Well?

Liu Cuizhu's half-asleep state disappeared in an instant, because the pillow person who was supposed to be lying behind him was indeed gone.

"Hey...... It's good to die, it's wonderful...... Hey hey ......"

Low, familiar laughter sounded in the darkness, containing irrepressible joy.

It's just that...... It's a bit weird in the middle of the night.

"Boss, what are you crazy about in the middle of the night......"

Darkness always makes people cautious.

Liu Cuizhu suppressed his voice and asked.

There was no reply, and the hall outside was lifeless, and no one seemed to exist.

Pulling the futon and covering her son, Liu Cuizhu got out of bed with a frown, and groped her way to the door.

Through the crack in the door, you can faintly see the dim candlelight in the hall.

Squeak –

"Don't go to bed yet, and don't look at what is going on tonight...... What are you doing?

Inside the hall, a white candle burns on the table.

In the flickering candlelight, the man sat on the Taishi chair, staring blankly at the wine glass pinched in his finger in front of him, but the corners of his mouth rose to an exaggerated degree.

As soon as he opened the door, Liu Cuizhu, who saw the scene in front of him, didn't finish a word, and almost sat on the ground in fright.

Unfamiliar......

A deep sense of strangeness enveloped her, and the feelings that had been in love for several years were only creepy at the moment.

"Bamboo ...... Hehe, Ah Shui is dead, our family doesn't have to pay back the food we owe him, hehehe, don't you feel happy?"

The man's eyes were full of joy and looked at Liu Cuizhu, and the corners of his mouth still maintained an exaggerated arc.

"You...... What are you talking about?" Liu Cuizhu responded boldly, and his feet subconsciously moved back.

"Ah Shui is your cousin, you ...... Uh......"

The voice stopped suddenly.

In the dim candlelight, the corners of Liu Cuizhu's mouth gradually rose, and the panic in his eyes was occupied by more and more joy.

"You're right, hehehe, don't pay it back...... We don't use borrowed horses either. ”

"Hey...... Good ...... to die."

"Huh...... Die wonderfully......"

Inside the hall, one laugh turned into two.

"Giggle...... Fangfang is a child without a father......"

Three courses.

The whole family is neat, laughing and talking together.

"Mother, Bao'er is so happy, giggle...... Boa wants to swing. ”

"Hehe, okay, your dad will do it right away. ”

Brush brush brush.

Three hemp ropes were thrown onto the beams in turn.

"Oh——, swing, cluck. ”

Laughter filled the house.

......

"Laugh at your uncle!"

Bang –

The thick peach tree with its roots and branches smashed through the mist and smashed against the earthen wall.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Hey, hey, hey......"

Sen Leng laughed from all directions, as if he was laughing at his inadequacy.

Huhuhuhu-

Jiang Wuye's body bowed slightly, making a wheezing sound like pulling a bellows, and his bloodshot eyes kept scanning the surroundings, only to see the mist surging, and the cold branches were like claws.

"Come out, don't you want Lao Tzu's life? Come out, I'm here, right here!"

Pull up a peach tree again.

Jiang Wuye slowly patrolled the peach orchard like a meteor hammer, roaring loudly, venting the anger that was accumulating in his body.

When he saw the fate of the dog, he understood.

He couldn't avoid this catastrophe tonight no matter what.

Or, he dies.

Or, that crumb, die again.

There is no third result.

"Woooooooooo......oo Miserable...... I'm so miserable........."

The laughter died down for a moment.

With a thick cry of resentment and unwillingness, it sounded again.

Tragic!

The snow flies in June, and the sadness of the whole family's ascension to heaven is everywhere, drilling straight into the soul of people.

"Then you come out, crumbs! come out and let me see how miserable you are?"

Jiang Wuye's mouth did not stop, and at the same time carefully identified the source of the sound, his body was always tense and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

"Lonely, hesitant, unwilling...... I know, I know ......" Walking slowly in the peach orchard, Jiang Wuye's voice suddenly softened: "So you should come out, come out and let me kill you! Kill you, these problems will not exist, okay?"

There was no response.

Jiang Wuye gritted his teeth fiercely with a gloomy look, then maintained a warm smile, put down the peach tree in his hand, and pulled up a thicker one.

While dragging the peach tree that could smash the water bull to death in one fell swoop, he continued to use a consultative tone to persuade him with good words: "It's useless to play this scary game of peek-a-boo, I've seen more of these routines than you can imagine...... How good it is to come out directly and just face it, you know, I have a hard time killing chickens with this little body......"

The voice of persuasion kept sounding in the misty peach orchard, sometimes low and sometimes high: "I beg you...... For a moment, I'm really just going to hit it...... If you don't stand still, you will be able to hit ...... first."

The voice of speech became lower and lower, and gradually evolved into sobbing, pleading, and silent......

Fog, churning.

Taoyuan fell silent again.

One minute......

Five minutes......

Ten......

"Found you!! crumb!!"

A volcano erupts, and the roar of the furious sea erupts, tearing apart the boundless darkness!

......

"Whew-whew-whew-"

Chen Wei sat up from the bed violently, his face pale and sweating profusely.

In the dream, he was chased and slashed by a madman in the village with a kitchen knife who could not see his face clearly, staggering, covered in blood, and surrounded by people from the village, but they were indifferently watching.

"Also...... Luckily, it's a dream. ”

Wiping a handful of sweat from his forehead with palpitations, Chen Wei recalled the person in his dream, and he clearly saw the person's appearance at the last moment.

At this time, I can't remember anything, and it feels very uncomfortable. He was sure that if he could naturally call out the person's name without thinking about it in normal times, but at the moment the memory in his brain was so busy that he couldn't touch the key point.

"Forget it......"

Shaking his head, Chen Wei finally chose to give up, lay down and prepared to continue sleeping.

Ho-ho-ho--

Just closed my eyes.

The vague strange voice dispelled Chen Wei's sleepiness again.

Well?

I didn't get up, but listened intently.

"Ho-ho-ho!"

One, two, calm and powerful.

Gradually, the sound became more rhythmic and rapid.

He could hear it, it was the sound of sharpening knives, and it was in the courtyard outside the house.

"Why doesn't my eldest brother sleep in the middle of the night, what kind of knife is he sharpening?"

Muttering, Chen Wei closed his eyes and ignored it again.

Two seconds –

Brush!

Chen Wei sat up violently, his eyes wide open!

Knife!

Kitchen knife!!

Eldest brother!

yes, how familiar!

So familiar that you can usually open your mouth and shout your name without thinking about it, and so familiar that you don't think about people who will harm you at all!

No!

It's a dream, yes, dreams are all the opposite, my eldest brother and I depend on each other, how can it be......

Tuk Tuk Tuk –

There was a knock on the door.

All Chen Wei's good thoughts came to an abrupt end, his upper and lower teeth fought, and he spoke: "What...... How to ......"

Stanch.

Change to a normal tone: "What's wrong, big brother?"

Through the darkness, across the room.

Chen Wei seemed to see the familiar person holding a kitchen knife, his eyes full of hideousness.

"Hmm...... The pig at home doesn't know why it poured one, Ming'er, you get up early to boil water, don't forget. ”

Whew-

Chang Chang breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Wei got up and got out of bed, stuffed his feet into his shoes, intending to see the situation, and while putting on his shoes, he didn't forget to respond: "It's really unlucky, I knew I wouldn't raise ......."

In the middle of his words, he paused suddenly, and then his voice became trembling again: "Big ...... Big brother, it seems that my family has not raised pigs for a long time......"

Silent.

Half a minute later, the flat and determined voice sounded again: "Yes." ”
