Chapter 175: A Thousand Thoughts
Because my mind is very messy, I don't care about what is played on TV at all.
So much so that Manman's voice of me going to bed was also a mechanical response,
didn't move his body,
Just lying on the couch on your side,
Slowly fell asleep.
In my dream, I went back to when I was in elementary school.
I went to his house with my cousin to play,
As soon as I arrived at my destination, I was reluctant to leave.
I rarely come to the countryside in the city, and it is very fresh here.
Touching the mountains and fields is very comfortable, I don't want to go home, I have to play for a few more days before I stop, my family can't hold me, so I have to agree to stay a few more days.
In the dream is the afternoon of the day,
A couple of cousins took me to the river to swim,
There are many relatives in the countryside, I was born late, and I am my brother according to age.
From one to seven, the eldest brother to the seventh brother, he is my youngest,
Along the way, they led them to a river not far from the village,
The river is not wide, about five meters long, and there are farmland nearby, so there are some farmers driving cattle to plough the land.
When I arrived at the river, my first thought was to jump down to cool off, and I saw a small dirt slope with relatively high terrain and was about to jump down, but I was stopped by my eldest brother.
He mysteriously told me that I couldn't jump there, and motioned for me to look at the incense and wine glasses on the ground.
Then it was said that there was a pit of almost a meter in the water below this slope, and many people jumped from here and drowned, not only people,
Not a single buffalo survived here the previous year, so this land is a very unlucky place.
He couldn't say why he was drowned, but he knew that one year the river dried up.
The people in the village found that the pit had a lot of white bones, and they couldn't tell whether it was a human or an animal.
But in fact, this pit is not deep, and it can be pierced to the end with bamboo of about two meters.
After listening to the eldest brother's explanation, I was so frightened that I was stunned, Qingxin didn't jump down, otherwise I would have become the one who was worshipped.
Later, a couple of cousins took me to another slope upstream, about a dozen meters away from that strange slope.
In addition to our brothers, there are three men swimming in the water, and it seems that they are also from the same village.
After being introduced by the eldest brother, it is still a relative, damn, I have to call it uncle!
At that time, I thought to myself, when will I also have a good time as a few brothers,
Thinking about it, I found that several cousins had gone into the water, and I couldn't wait to get into the water, and the heat of summer was replaced by the coolness of the water in an instant.
We were tired of playing, and the three uncles saw that it was starting to get dark,
He got up and dressed and left, and before leaving, he repeatedly told us not to go back too late, but he didn't say anything for what reason.
But we still played too much, and we didn't leave until it was too dark to see, and we didn't know what time it was.
We were rushing to the village in the dark that night, and when we passed by a small forest,
Suddenly the wind blew and whirred, and I was timid, so I hurried to the front of the crowd and ran in the direction of the village.
When my eldest brother saw me like this, he laughed at me for being cowardly and afraid of ghosts.
Several other cousins also coaxed together, but I didn't make a sound, and walked forward.
I just arrived at a fish pond at the entrance of the village, where there was a dim street lamp, but in this darkness it was undoubtedly like a life-saving straw for people, and it was much more practical to stand in a place with bright light.
Suddenly, there was a sound from behind~~~,
I saw the second brother and the third brother running past me in a panic, and the second brother turned around and shouted, I didn't pay attention to what I shouted, as if I was telling me to run.
I watched them disappear from my sight, and when I came back to my senses,
turned his head to look, and found that several other cousins behind him were also running forward desperately,
I shouted while running, shouting in my hometown, I understood these words, and the meaning was probably "Mom, there are ghosts!" ”
Through the dim light, I vaguely saw that my eldest brother was talking to some "person",
Let's say he's a man, but I can't see clearly, it's dark, it's short,
It looks like it's more than a meter tall, its head is very big, and it has two pairs of big wings on its back, which is bigger than that "person"!
I looked at the strange black shadow in amazement, fluttering and flapping my big wings twice,
Suddenly I felt a chill coming from my back, and a few cousins were about to catch up with me.
I didn't think much about it, I turned around and ran to the village with all my strength, and I felt like my heart was about to jump out.
After running for a while, I turned around and realized that I was the only one running to the side road, and everyone else was running to the big road.
I panicked and didn't know what to do, and tried to run back to catch up with them, but I couldn't muster up the courage to take a step when I thought of the winged guy.
The path I ran on was the same road as the main road at the entrance of the village, but the small road was a corner, and the main road was a straight road.
After some thought, I decided to run back to the village by myself.
A man stumbled down the dark path, and I was afraid that something would pop out of the grass on the way.
But he was afraid that the winged black shadow would chase after him, so he had to run forward, only looking at the road and not elsewhere.
In fact, it's not very far, but it's a trail less than a hundred meters away from where I live.
But the distance was enough to scare me out of my words, but fortunately there was nothing wrong along the way.
When I ran into the village, I saw the lights on in my cousin's house, where I was borrowing, and my heart fell like a big rock.
A trot rushed to the house, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw my grandmother and my second uncle in the house.
When my grandmother saw that I was flustered, she asked me in my hometown dialect what was wrong?
I told my grandmother and second uncle about what I encountered along the way and the black shadow I saw with wings.
Grandma was shocked and said something to the second uncle in her hometown, I didn't understand it very well, but I understood the three words "ghost butterfly".
After listening to grandma's words, the second uncle hurriedly ran out, and when he came back, he took a group of people with him.
They are all strong men in the village, and everyone has a burning torch in their hands.
The second uncle took my hand and asked me where I met the "ghost butterfly" and where the other cousins ran away.
Then I led them down the dark path.
Now there are many people, and the torches held high by the people illuminate the path red,
So I'm not so scared, I'm still excited.
pestered the second uncle to ask what a "ghost butterfly" was, and the second uncle told me in very unfluent Mandarin,
In the deep mountains of the village, if there is no burial of the dead, the days will be long, and the corpse will easily become sperm.
It emits a special fragrance of corpses that attracts butterflies, and if the wild butterflies in the mountains dock on the corpses,
The ghost of the deceased will possess the butterfly and become a "ghost butterfly", which specializes in sucking people's essence at night.
If you absorb too much essence, you can still show your body, just like you see that, it is estimated that you have been living for a long time, or it is impossible to transform into a humanoid form that is more than a meter tall.
After listening to what the second uncle said, I knew that the "ghost butterfly" turned out to be so terrifying.
My heart was beating violently again, but the thought of it would be terrible if a few of my cousins hadn't run away and been sucked dry, so I encouraged myself not to be afraid.
Maybe my frightened look was seen by my second uncle, so he touched my head and told me not to be afraid.
The second uncle said: "Little baby, don't be afraid, the "ghost butterfly" is afraid of fire, and when you see it, you will burn it, and you will not be strangled." ”
I nodded, fumbled for the lighter in my pocket, and thought, I have fire too...
I searched all the way, but I didn't see a few cousins, so I had no choice but to look for them separately in the village.
The second uncle took me to the other side of the river to look for it, and the street lamp in the fish pond at the entrance of the village was still on, but there was no one in the village.
I told my second uncle that we had started running here before, and the "ghost butterfly" came from behind us.
The second uncle thought about it and took me to continue walking towards the river.
As we walked into the grove, we saw several figures lying on the ground in the distance.
The second uncle hurriedly pulled me to run in the direction of the figure, and when I ran to the figure, I could see it clearly.
Several cousins were lying on the ground, and a black thing the size of a child fluttered on the eldest brother with two pairs of big wings, and kept sucking something into the eldest brother's mouth, and made a Sisi sound.
The second uncle was in a hurry, and with a loud roar, he burned the "ghost butterfly" with a torch.
As soon as the torch touched its wings, it burned, and then I heard only a scream,
The "ghost butterfly" flew up, and the fire was extinguished after fluttering in the air for a while.
