I am a hard-pressed young man who has just graduated from university and entered the society, holding an inconspicuous undergraduate diploma, and vainly trying to fight for a small world in a first-tier city like Shenzhen independently, renting a small apartment with a view of the sea, planting a row of cosmos on the balcony, and living a small life facing the sea and blooming in spring.

However, on the first day of my interview, my interviewer insinuated that I was a fool.

Well, after a few days of job hunting and interviews, I have to admit: I'm just a fool's dream. So I held the iconic "high is not low" posture, packed up and got out. I took the soft girl coins I saved during my internship and thought I could pay the rent in advance. I finally became an aspiring young man who had stuck to the salt of Chaka, tasted the snow of Kunlun Mountain, crossed Tanggula, and walked into Potala. I finally returned to my hometown, Huiyu, after squandering the money.

It's still a good day at home, you can eat chicken until the rooster crows, and you can sleep until dusk. Wake up and go downstairs directly to find Chef Yao to stir-fry a dish, the kind that you can order casually, and then go to the refrigerator to get a can of dark beer and go back upstairs to chase the natal life, Oba, and Xiaozheng Taitong who have no time to chase at work.

I forgot to introduce to you, Chef Yao is my father, a father with a very different personality. When Huiyu Island was just developed for tourism, my father converted our two-story small bungalow into a four-and-a-half-story homestay, a restaurant on the first floor, where my father was in charge of the main house, and the old lady was outside the host. The second and third floors are small suites of B&Bs, which are full, full, and full in every tourist season!

So, am I worried that I won't be able to find a job? Just kidding! If I hadn't tried to escape from that person on this island, would I have given up such good conditions to live that hard life?

In the center of our island there is an ancient banyan tree that has grown for thousands of years, and there is an old temple under the ancient banyan. There has always been a legend: the ancient banyan was originally a twin, and the spirit of heaven and earth was transformed into an earth immortal. Thousands of years ago, the island was far away from the mainland, and no one knew about it. The ancestors of the island were fishermen on land at that time, and they were fortunate to be rescued by the earth immortals on the island when they were shipwrecked at sea. The earth immortals taught them the way to survive on the island, guarding the peace of the island, and they believed in these two earth immortals, built temples for them, and worshipped them for generations. It was the earth immortals who gave the people on the island a blessing, so that they could live and work in peace and contentment for generations, so the ancestors called this place Huiyu. It was only later that the heavens inexplicably rained a thunderbolt, and the earth-shattering thunder split a whole tree trunk, and the earth immortals no longer appeared. Since then, typhoons and tsunamis have often invaded, and some of the ancestors have risked their lives to move away from the island, while the remaining small number of ancestors have always held on to the island and enshrined the Earth Immortal Temple (those are our ancestors, yes). Xu is heaven felt the ancestors of the piety for several years, the sea gradually stopped, and the earth fairy finally returned to the temple, but the broken branches could not be repaired, the twin trees were broken, like trees, and the earth immortals were left alone, and the original young girl also grew old into an old woman. Later, time migrated, and the earth's crust changed for thousands of years, and only the current small village remained in the originally huge Huiyu. Thankfully, it's closer to land.

Coastal residents generally believe in Mazu, but the people of Huiyu still only believe in the village's Dixian Temple.

When I was a child, I was quite good with my mother-in-law, just like my own grandmother. The old lady said that when she got married, her mother-in-law took special care of her, and she also respected the culture of the village for generations and believed in the temple keepers. When the old lady was pregnant, the fetal gas was always unstable, and the mother-in-law who guarded the temple often sent her fetal medicine. When I was born, my mother-in-law gave her a moonstone necklace as a gift, saying that I had a bad luck in my life, and I needed the spiritual power of moonstone to dispel evil and protect my health and well-being.

As a new-age woman with a higher education, I certainly don't really take these things seriously, just as a belief in them. Admiration, but also fear, especially when passing by the Earth Immortal Temple, I can always feel an inexplicable cold.

Since I can remember, there has been an endless stream of people who come and go to the Dixian Temple to bow down and pray for blessings, and seek medical treatment.

There are only a few hundred families on our island, and when my father went to school, he would have heard that there was a junior high school, and now there is only one elementary school. When I was in junior high school, I went to school outside the island.

Actually, I hadn't had much exposure to the world outside the island before junior high school. When I entered the school, my classmates knew that I was from Huiyu, and they would always be very happy to talk to me about the big banyan tree and the temple keeper in the village. Later, gradually, they suddenly stopped playing with me, and they always disliked me, scolding me behind my back, saying that I had accepted things from temple keepers, and that I would become a temple keeper in the future, and they couldn't play with people like me. I don't know where they heard another set of evil crooked ways: they say that the temple keepers of the Dixian Temple have been cursed by the big banyan tree for generations, and the cursed people have inherited the mantle of the previous generation of temple keepers, and they are lonely and old at any time, and when they are old, they will find the next cursed heir, and train them to become the next temple keepers from an early age, and the selected children are destined to be lonely for a lifetime, in exchange for the peace of Huiyu.

The thought I had was just two words: bullshit!

But soon he slapped himself in the face. After studying outside the island for a long time, I still have a fear of the big banyan tree and the mother-in-law who guards the temple after hearing too many of these stories, and it is not only because of the legends.

The moonstone that my mother-in-law gave me has been hanging around my neck since I was a child, going up the mountain and down to the sea, and my mother never allowed me to take it off. Miraculously, hang the moonstone rope. It looks like an ordinary hemp rope, but I have been wearing it close to my body for more than 20 years, but it can still maintain its original appearance, and there is not even the slightest sign of corrosion.

I used to love that moonstone. During the day, it's just an ordinary white crystal with a blue glow, similar to the one found in the boutiques. But at night, especially when there is moonlight, it is like a white cat's eyes, blue and blue, and occasionally it will emit some white light, a soft white light like moonlight. What's even worse is that the moonstone, which itself does not shine in the dark night without a moon, actually conjured into a humanoid white shadow one night when I was sleeping hazy. The next day I told my mother, who said I was having a nightmare. But at my insistence, my mother accompanied me to find the mother-in-law who guarded the temple. I still remember the smile of the mother-in-law who guarded the temple after listening to me. Eerie, eerie, with hairs standing on end. I also told my wife about the rumors outside the island and insisted that I should not wear that stone again. But the old lady refused, saying that I listened to other people's nonsense, and I would have nightmares when I was scared of myself, and I was not allowed to take it off unless I wore it. In addition, the mother-in-law who guarded the temple also asked the old lady to give me her heirloom white jade bracelet, saying that jade and moonstone have the same root, and they can also suppress evil spirits.

The fear in my heart took root, of course I wouldn't do it stupidly, but I didn't want to go against my mother's wishes, I always wore the jade bracelet with me, but the moonstone I kept secretly hiding it in the box of the suitcase, and I would hang it around my neck when I got home.

At two o'clock in the morning on the day of the incident, I was in good spirits after eating the chicken, but my eyes were dry and unbearable, and I was ready to go to bed early. Suddenly, I heard the sound of waves like thousands of horses galloping, and the floor-to-ceiling windows shook as if they were experiencing an earthquake, making a terrifying sound of struggle.

But the moonlight outside the window was as bright as a glow, shining into the room through the beige gauze curtains, and every ray of light seemed unusually quiet, in stark contrast to the sounds.

I seriously suspect that in addition to my dry eyes, I am also hallucinating.

I opened the corner of the curtain, through the moonlight, looking at the sea, a sudden gust of wind set off a huge wave more than ten meters high on the sea, the wave overturned the sale shed on the beach not far away, the sea water swelled up, and it was about to sweep across the homestay area. I rubbed my eyes and pinched myself in the face.

What a tsunami?!

So I didn't think too much about it, my brain was a little white, and only the script could run out.

I'm afraid of death, it's important to run for my life!

Outside the corridor, the moonlight shines down from the patio, revealing a moonlight through the refraction of the tempered glass on the top layer, which is foggy and like a fantasy. The whole house was as peaceful as ever, but the wind was still howling in my ears and the waves were raging.

Is it so loud that they sleep so deeply that no one hears it?

I didn't bother to think about it, so I ran to the door of my father's house and knocked on the door desperately.

During menopause, my mother's sleep was very light, and soon the sleepy-eyed old lady opened the door for me.

"Mom, the tsunami is coming, and the sea is pouring up. "As soon as the door opened, I pushed it open.

In the half minute between my knocking on the door and my mother opening it, all I could hear was the rumbling, the sound of the sea pouring up, and it was getting closer and louder. And the wind, howling like a ghost, I felt like my nerves were going to collapse. But when the old lady opened the door, the sound stopped abruptly.

When my mother heard what I said, she looked at me like a neuropath, and the smile on the corner of her mouth made me feel that she was laughing at me even in her pores. She turned her head to look at the window in the hallway. The window opened outward and was fastened with bolts, and the fluttering white curtain hanging inside was now gracefully floating in the white moonlight with the gentle sea breeze.

In fact, in terms of my appearance and personality, my wife and I are indeed biological. My dad and Lao Tie always said that I perfectly copied all the flaws of my mother, except for the fashion bacteria. is just a love to play and love to chase dramas, with a cocked tail and nostrils facing the sky, no one is discussed, and he admits death.

"What a quiet and peaceful night! "My wife and I also have common advantages, that is: rich expressions and an interesting soul. "If you play more games, chase more comics and movies that are gods and ghosts, sooner or later you will scare yourself to death. Why don't you go to heaven when you're so timid that you want to die that you want to rob the tomb every day?

My mother laughed at me not only with my pores, but also at my nostrils.

"Mom, you're so trendy, even the heavens know it, so do you know that 'soaring up to 90,000 miles'?" I habitually said.

"Yang Mi?" I don't know if it means anything, and I answer as if it were true.

"Well, dei. I nodded and snickered.

Hmph, I don't sit in front of the TV every morning after buying groceries and watch replays and chase dramas, and I don't even know how to choose dishes, so I'm embarrassed to say I?!

"What's wrong?" Chef Yao's deep voice came from the room.

"It's okay, it's okay, your baby daughter has a nightmare. The old lady was instantly gentle.

Hey, my daughter is always my father's little love silver, and I am my mother's little love rival. That's why I always feel that my wife doesn't like me very well. If you want to eat good, you don't give me food, you pressure me to eat rice, green vegetables, and sweet potatoes every day; you don't want to wear good clothes, you don't want to wear good clothes, you want to be a lady, and you want to have a long skirt with a small high heel; you don't want to have fun with it, and you pull out the network cable on time at 0:00 every night.

"It's all social work, and you can be scared to find your mother when you have nightmares, hahaha, hurry up and go back to sleep, little baby." "Even my dad laughed at me.

But it's gentle, it's spoiled, and I like it. This is the attitude that a male bank should have towards a love bank.

"Let your mother sleep with you tonight, you're so old and always trying to trick your mother into sleeping with you, Dad doesn't care about you, hahaha. ”

Hmph, who wants?! Ever since you kicked me out of the room and let me sleep alone in a room that big, I've long been surprised to ask for someone to accompany me. Hmph, I will have a tall, tendon-fleshy, youth-faced prince who will put me to sleep in his arms every night.

No, who has a nightmare? I'm all stunned by my mother, and I haven't slept yet!

But at this moment, the sound of the wind in my ears, the sound of the waves has indeed disappeared, I feel that I have just eaten too much chicken and my brain is crooked, and now my brain is a little sluggish. WTF？

"Let's go, mom will sleep with you tonight, anyway, you won't be able to sleep for a few days, and you're going to work." "The old lady walked in front of me with a letter in her hand.

Hehe, WTF?

With a stiff smile, I looked through the window at the end of the hallway at the quiet night.

When I returned to my room, my already energetic brain was stimulated again, and I couldn't sleep anymore. I slept for two hours in my mother's arms, and the morning dizziness appeared on the horizon, and the old lady was finally willing to take her hand away from my poor little belly.

I could never understand that I was really fantasizing and hallucinating, so I could quietly get up and go to the window, where a black figure appeared on the white sand under the morning halo and the moonlight.

I recognized it at a glance, it was the person I had always wanted to hide. I remember that old woman who always had kindness on her face, but always made me feel gloomy and faltering.

The moon was hidden in the clouds, and I watched as the light from the window into the room gradually changed from light to dark, and the window from white to blue. The old lady was still asleep, and I gently pushed open the window and went out to the terrace.

The tide of that day did not swell as before, and receded shallowly. At the end of the sea, slightly yellowish, it's still early. The familiar black shadow was in the morning light, and the royal blue robe swayed in the sea breeze. She was staggering towards the reef beach by the sea.

I really don't hate my mother-in-law, but I feel chills when I look at her. It's early in the morning, and even people like my mother who rushed to the vegetable market to grab fresh food haven't woken up, and the uncles and uncles who went to sea haven't come back yet, why did she come out?

I was still thinking about it, a thought drifting away and a squint, and when I opened it again, the beach was empty. I felt a chill, goosebumps came out of my hands, and my heart was agitated. My eyesight has always been very good, and in the blink of an eye, it is impossible for my mother-in-law to go far with her usual foot strength. However, I searched the surrounding area intently, but I could not find any trace of my mother-in-law.

I grew up in Huiyu, a place where legends of gods, immortals, and ghosts were raised, and I was influenced by these myths and legends. To put it bluntly, I'm really afraid of ghosts.
