Chapter 101: The Ghost Lingers
"Xiao Liang, Xiao Liang, take me to the ash field to play...... "My God, who is this guy, how do you know that I just ran to the ash field to play?"
As soon as I heard that voice, I was startled, that voice, a little hoarse, a little stubborn, and a little twisted, I knew that this was the voice of the big-bellied baby, yes, it was him, but wasn't he already dead lying on this door panel?
I held the door frame of his courtyard door with my hand, looked at the floating shadow, slowly stood on the ground, and then stretched out my nose to smell the incense floating in front of the mourning hall, and then towards the ashes in the filial piety basin in front of the mourning hall, I took a few bites, and saw that the shadow suddenly and slowly changed, turning into the appearance of a big-bellied baby, and it looked more and more clear.
I know that this big-bellied baby knows me, because I have run and played on the West Road many times, passing by in front of their house, and every time this guy sees me, he wants to call me and ask me what I am doing, but I have ignored him several times.
It's strange that he's dead and still being able to run out and call my name. I watched him slowly come out of the mourning hall, past the people who were sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, and they were completely unconscious, as if they had not seen him come out at all.
I stood at the gate of the yard, looked at the big-bellied baby, and slowly walked outside. He was still wearing army green trousers and a long-sleeved shirt, and a green military hat on his head, and the red five-pointed star on the military hat was particularly eye-catching.
He walked slowly, as if he were floating on the ground, and with every few steps he raised his head, smiled at me, and then lowered his head again. I saw that this guy was about to come out, and I was afraid that he would come and hurt me, so I screamed, turned around, and ran outside.
It just so happened that someone was carrying a burning firecracker from the outside and going inside, and I was also in a panic, and I hit the man's thigh with one head, causing me to roll over on my back, and my body hurt terribly. And the crackling firecrackers exploded lifelessly right next to me.
I didn't care about grabbing this firecracker, I got up from the ground, turned my head and looked into the yard, but I didn't expect that the big-bellied baby had already walked to the gate of the courtyard and was about to leave the yard. I shuddered and ran out.
"Xiaoliang, don't run, I forgot the way to the gray field, take me there, don't run......" I didn't expect this big-bellied baby to shout in the back, you forgot the road, what does it matter to me, I am not your father.
I was anxious for a while, and I wanted to have the wind under my feet and slip away, but I thought it was urgent, the faster I couldn't run, and my feet were like mixing garlic, either stepping on half a brick, or stepping into a mud nest, anyway, I didn't run out far.
The big-bellied baby in the back has slowly walked over, and when I saw it, he walked towards me outside, and at the same time stretched out his hand and kept shaking: "Xiaoliang, don't run, I won't hurt you, you take me to the ash field......"
This dead man, he has to go to the ash field, what are you doing in the ash field, there is no father there. Your father is smoking and drinking tea in your yard. I saw it, the father of this big-bellied baby, with a big gold tooth in his mouth, sitting in the yard, smoking and drinking tea casually.
And in this yard, there are so many people, and they are all close relatives of their family, why did this big-bellied baby find a child like me and ask me to take him to the ash field? Could it be that the big-bellied baby on the ash field just now has anything to do with coming out of the yard now?
Anyway, I can't figure it out, who knows, it's none of my business, why are you looking for me? Fuck it, I'd better run. Having made up my mind, I looked at the road ahead and ran abruptly.
Who knows, a large group of people suddenly poured in outside, blocking the alley tightly. The group of people pushed carts, some carried fire paper, some carried large meat, and some blew suona in their mouths, held the sound of the sheng, and knocked on the copper cymbals, they swarmed in from outside, and someone behind them lit a long firecracker, and the violent explosion and heavy gunpowder smoke drowned me out at once.
It seemed that I had to perform a trick, and before these people knocked me to the ground, I jumped up sharply, and jumped to the top of the courtyard wall of the house next to me, and then stood on the top of this wall, and looked down to find the big-bellied baby.
The smoke of firecrackers filled everywhere, and the people in the smoke could hardly see the faces of the people opposite. I stood on the wall, and at a glance I saw the big-bellied baby, a little staggering out, as he walked, he was still looking at me, and his mouth, I don't know when, began to foam at the mouth again.
As soon as I saw this white foam, I felt very unhappy, you said, why is a person like a cow, and always pouring foam out, this must be a disease, and it is not light.
I have a feeling that this big-bellied baby, he seems to be sticking to me today, it seems that he can't catch me, so he has to ask me to take him to the ash field. However, how can I be in this mood, seeing him like this now, I am enough, and I have to ask me to take him there, he is an ancestor, he has hands and feet, and he will not walk by himself.
Besides, what are you doing in this ash field, what's so interesting there, there are only a few piles of ash left. Maybe this big-bellied baby doesn't know yet, maybe he senses that I'm coming from there, so he has to let me take him.
I stood on the wall, for fear of being seen by those who came to pay my filial piety, after all, it was not a normal behavior to run to the wall and stand. So, while the big-bellied baby hadn't seen me yet, I jumped lightly and jumped directly onto the path outside, and then followed the path and ran to the edge of the big pit with a smoke.
The brothers who were beaten to tears by me before are now no longer on the side of the doiwell, and I guess they have already gone home. I don't care about them, they believe in ball goods, and they always bully me, if they continue to do this in the future, I will beat them once I see them!
But I don't have time to worry about these two guys right now, I have to take a good look at whether this big-bellied baby has already followed. I stood beside the four big poplar trees, peeking to the west, and when I was sure that the pot-bellied belly had not followed, I turned my head and let out a long breath.
But who knows, before I could take a good breath, I suddenly found that the big-bellied baby wearing an army green coat and trousers and an army green hat and hat was already standing in front of me before I knew it!
