Chapter 6: The Faceless Walking Dead

I'm not afraid of you, usually when I go out to play, I carry a locust branch in my hand, and the branches are lined with spikes. Thinking of this, I was still a little proud, so I couldn't help but get up and jump on the ground. When I think about happy things, I want to jump.

But strange things happened again, and the moment I jumped up, I flew up like a rocket like a spring that had bounced off the ground, my feet off the ground, my ears windy, along the edge of the canopy of the neem tree.

I only felt the whirring wind whistling in my ears, I looked up at the eagle, and slowly the eagle was getting bigger, and I saw that the eagle was really big, and the two sharp and sharp talons were afraid that it would not be as big as my face. If they had come at me for once, wouldn't I have been caught.

I was a little afraid, if I rushed up and didn't stop, would I hit this big eagle all at once, maybe this eagle also saw me, such a big black thing kept rushing towards me, and I saw that the big eagle nodded its head a few times, and then stopped circling, spread its wings, and flew north.

And I saw that the eagle flew away, and the upward strength gradually weakened, so it lost its center of gravity, and began to fly to the ground. Oh my God, I don't know how high it flies, and if I fall like this, I won't be smashed into meat sauce, or at least I can be broken into meat patties.

I was so frightened that even with my eyes closed, I could see the rooftops of the houses below, the tops of the trees, coming towards me so quickly, what could I do, I was going to fall to my death.

At that moment, I heard a voice coming from within me: "Boy, hurry up and put your feet down, your tongue against your upper teeth, hold your breath, and you won't fall off." ”

I can be said to be in a hurry, in a panic, I actually did according to this voice, I didn't expect, I was like a person sitting on a lotus boy, feet down, body straight, slowly suspended, but this height is still far higher than our tall and straight neem tree!

The man who made the voice, claiming to be my ancestor, had actually taught me how to control my fall. I was secretly happy, and I thought it would be great if I could teach me how to fly and how to land.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I thought of this, the voice came again: "Boy, I will teach you, now do you want to say it silently in your heart, woo down three times." ”

I was a little proud in mid-air, unconsciously following the voice, and began to read this in my heart I don't know what it means, but unexpectedly, my hanging body began to slide down, and finally fell straight to the ground.

My feet were a little weak, and I collapsed all of a sudden, and at this time, the sun was shining, and I reached out to look at the palm of my hand, and there were dense beads of sweat......

I lay on the ground, my eyes closed, thinking about the mantra that my ancestors had taught me, and after a while, I felt sleepy again......

This time I went to sleep, I actually had a long dream, in the dream the white-bearded old man came again, told me a lot of nonsense, said that I was born heterogeneous, with a completely different temperament and physique of others, said that I was suitable to continue his mantle, what something, I was confused, and in my heart I was very resistant to him using his hand to wrap around the top of my head, but I knew that I was in a dream, but I just couldn't wake up, until I felt that my body was hot, as if there was a heat flow surging in my body, I felt a sense of relief and woke up from my sleep.

I thought it was the sun shining hot, but when I woke up, I found that it was already dark, the sun had already set, and the courtyard was dusk and hazy.

I stood up, swept away the sleepiness and anxiety of the past, went straight to the well, covered the water outlet of the well with one hand, and pressed the water hard with the other hand.

My parents haven't come back yet, and I'm really idle in the yard alone, so I thought, let's go out for a walk, although it's nightfall, but at the door of my house, I'm not afraid of getting lost.

So I walked out of the courtyard gate, crossed the row of thorn trees on the east side of the courtyard wall of my house, followed the black brick courtyard wall of Sister Da Ling's house, and walked out to the south.

I stood on the high, steep ridge under the eclipse tree, looking east. In the large crop fields to the east, dense buns and peaches grow, high and low, one by one. Through these crops, I could see far away at a glance, someone carrying a hoe, slowly walking along the road along the ditch to the farm, and I also saw that the black and white sheep were full of grass, and their heads followed the people in a very regular manner.

I just didn't see the shadow of my parents walking home, I felt a little disappointed, but just when I wanted to take my eyes back, I saw that on the old ditch two miles away from me, on the edge of the ancestral grave of my family, someone knelt in front of the grave, kowtowing one by one, I quickly stared at it, my God, isn't that my most familiar father, why is he kowtowing in front of my father's grave alone?

I spread my legs and ran eastward. Usually I run faster, but now it may be that I am in a hurry, and I almost feel like flying, only to see the crops and trees on both sides falling back quickly, and after a while, I ran to the edge of my family's ancestral grave on the old ditch.

In fact, the old ditch on my ancestral grave here, from our Zhuangzi to say the least there is a distance of two miles, if the trot comes, with my current normal footsteps, I have to run at least a bag of cigarettes, but, I don't know what's going on, I seem to have less than a soak in the time of urine, I have already run. I didn't think much of it, I just wanted to go over and pat my "father" on the shoulder who was kneeling in front of the grave.

I never thought that before I could reach my "father" with my hand, I saw my father turn his head slowly and look at me symptomatically. I was taken aback, the movement was extremely mechanical, not normal at all.

I quickly retracted my hand and looked at the face of "father", I didn't expect that this person would be my father, his face was dead ash, his eyes, nose, and mouth were all hollow, and the clothes he was wearing were no different from his father's, they were all gray and cool shirts.

I was so startled that I was about to scream, but before I could do so, the man was twisting his head back, twisting and twisting, and the man's head was turning in a circle around his neck! As soon as I saw that this was okay, a normal person turned his head back, and he could only twist it to the maximum level of his shoulders and could no longer twist it, but this person was able to turn his head and face completely behind and look at me motionlessly.
