There was no light in the house, and I could see that the cow madman was full of anger, and he didn't dare to pout anymore, so he crawled up from the dirt pit in a gray way, and limped back to the corner where he slept, and lay down obediently, his feet and neck were swollen into steamed buns, and his heart hurt.

"Fan is helpless, you bastard, if I talk to you again in the future, I will write the word king upside down." The cow madman didn't seem to be angry, and scolded outside the door again, but the humanoid black mist had long since drifted away.

I really don't understand where the cow madman got so angry, but I didn't dare to ask, so I could only close my eyes tightly and pretend to be asleep, but I never thought that I was really asleep.

I was sleeping soundly, and suddenly a heart-rending cry woke me up. What's going on? Is it dead?

It's daylight.

I slatched on a garment and limped out in the direction from which the sound came.

It's really dead, the dead is a boy named Big Head, who is older than me, I've seen him a few times, it's simple, it's cute, it doesn't look like a short-lived person. Because of my reputation as a scourge, his family refused to let him play with me.

At this time, his mother was holding his corpse and crying in the dark: "Son, what do you say you can't think of?" Why don't you tell your mother? Why do you want to die? You're leaving like this, how can you live......"

It turned out that this morning, his mother called him to eat, and found that there was no one on the bed, and after several searches, he was found on a dead tree on the edge of the Xiaolong River in the east of the village, but by that time, he had already hanged himself.

I heard that the rope he hanged was less than three feet above the ground, not as high as his body, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to hang a person at such a height, but his death is too weird, he hanged himself with his legs curled up, and a pair of legs still can't be straightened.

The most tragic thing in life is that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, and I can't help but cry when I look at the big family crying in front of me.

But a lot of doubts rose in my heart.

He is at this age when he is carefree, how can he suddenly not think about it? And he doesn't have to worry about things at home. Besides, his family has a lot of labor, his father has several brothers, his mother usually does some small business, his father is a bricklayer on the construction team, and he earns a lot of money, and his family is a well-known rich man in the village.

Even if you want to die, there's no need to curl your legs and hang yourself, right?

There are many ways to commit suicide, why did he choose such a way to die?

The bull madman once told me that a person who dies in vain cannot go to the underworld to report for duty, and can only enter reincarnation when the yang life is over, why did he choose such a path?

Didn't he commit suicide?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a man in the crowd turn around and walk out, but strangely, he was followed by a black fog-like thing.

This is a person I have never met before, probably not from our village.

I followed curiously, although my feet and neck were not swollen at this time, and I still walked crookedly.

The man walked so fast that it was like flying, and I chased him after him without much effort.

……

In our case, the older generation thinks that children who do not live to the age of twelve are debts owed in the previous life, and that they have been entrusted with short-lived ghosts to collect debts in this life.

In the early years, people would beat the corpse of a child who died with a simmering iron, or chop it with a knife and axe, burn it with firewood, and finally bury the corpse between the poor mountains and bad waters, and put a basket on the corpse so that it could no longer fall into reincarnation and come back again to collect debts.

Over the years, although the treatment of early children is no longer as cruel as before, they still can't stop the funeral and can't set up a grave, so the big head was hastily buried on the same day.

The cow madman didn't know where he went, he didn't see anyone for a whole day, and he still didn't come back in the evening.

I was frightened when I saw the dead during the day, so I lit all the candles in the ruined temple.

But the flickering candlelight still couldn't hide the fear in my heart.

I had no choice but to get under the covers and cover my head with the quilt.

Due to fear, I didn't feel sleepy at all, so I could only hide in the bed and count the sheep.

The more you are afraid, the more you come.

In the middle of the night, I had just fallen asleep in a daze, and suddenly I heard someone call my name: "Chen Changsheng, Chen Changsheng, let's go out and play......"

The sound sounded far away, like it was on the horizon.

I couldn't help but poke my head out of the covers and look out.

A pitch-black figure was standing outside the window, with its back to me.

"Who? Who is it? ……”

I screamed uncontrollably.

At this moment, the figure turned its head slowly!

"Are you...... Big? ”

I recognized it, it was the big head that had hanged himself during the day.

"Aren't you dead?"

"Come play with me!" The voice was cold, and I couldn't help but get goosebumps, and then my body stood up uncontrollably, and slowly walked towards the door.

Everything is like a dream.

"Where are you going?" I couldn't help but ask.

"You come with me—"

Datou's footsteps were extremely fast, and he walked all the way east out of the village.

I trotted and followed, unable to catch up.

Where is this taking me?

"Come on, come on, there are so many children here......"

Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure, it was grandma.

"Changsheng, what are you doing here?" Grandma seemed to be angry, "This is not the place for you to come, hurry back." ”

"No, I'm going to play over there, and the big head said there are a lot of kids over there." I was stubborn.

Grandma suddenly stepped forward and grabbed my arm, with great strength: "Hurry back, hurry back, you see your father and your grandfather are here, they won't let you pass." ”

Just as I was tugging and pulling with my grandmother, a big ear scraper struck the back of my head, making my eyes glow.

"Wake up Lao Tzu!"

It's the voice of a cow madman!

Seeing the sudden appearance of the cow madman, the grandmother suddenly grinned, and the figure slowly faded, disappearing into the air visibly with the naked eye.

"What's wrong with me?" I touched my aching head and looked around, I was still in the ruined temple - what was going on?

The cow madman sighed, glanced at me a few times, and said, "You are bewitched by ghosts, thanks to a newly dead ghost, otherwise you won't be able to come back!" ”

When I heard him say this, I was afraid, if I really couldn't come back, wouldn't I also die?

"Alas! I'll tell you the truth, I went out today to find a way to seal your yin and yang eyes, but I didn't expect that just one day after I went out, such a thing happened in the village. Do you know how the big head died? ”

"I don't know!" I'll be honest with you.

"Forget it, you go wash your face." The cow madman was a little impatient, yawning and said to me, "Wash with water from a basin!" ”

, how can you be so angry?

"Is it your pee?"

"This is the way I asked the master to seal your yin and yang eyes, hurry up!"
