I still can't remember what happened that night two years ago, I've dreamed of the same scene, the same thing, even... The same fear.

In my dream, I was in a mass grave, and I saw a huge crow pecking at the rotting corpses in the mass grave, blood was flying, the sound of biting and chewing was very harsh in the quiet night, and the strong smell of corpses made my stomach churn in my dream.

Just as I was about to flee from here, the giant crow suddenly turned to face me, and for a moment I didn't even have the strength to scream, so I could only stay where I was.

Suddenly, the crow opened its mouth at me, and I finally knew the source of the strange chewing sound, which turned out to have a row of extremely sharp blades in the mouth of the giant crow, which was different from the structure of the mouth of a normal crow.

It was the first time I felt so close to death.

The giant crow rushed towards me with its full wings, and soon I was completely enveloped in shadows, and just when I thought I was going to be swallowed alive, the dream finally woke up.

I sat up from the bed suddenly, gasping for air, sweat from my forehead sliding down the bridge of my nose onto the quilt.

Again.

I had the same dream again, I lifted the quilt and sat up, it was already a quarter past eight, this night I slept more deeply than usual, but the scene and feelings in the dream became more and more real, which gave me a very bad premonition. I closed my eyes and tried to banish the thought from my mind.

When I got out of bed and put on my shoes, I was surprised to find that there was a black feather in my shoes, I picked up the feather, and the icy temperature spread all over my body through the palm of my hand, I shivered violently, and as soon as I let go of my hand, the black feather fell to the ground, and turned into dust the moment I landed.

I was shocked not by the feather falling to the ground and turning into dust, but by the fact that it seemed to have fallen from the giant crow in my dream.

I stared at the place where the feathers disappeared for a long time, and it was not until my mother called me over for breakfast outside the door that I reacted, and hurriedly wiped my face with a handkerchief and went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, my mother was concentrating on feeding my one-year-old sister, my father had finished eating, and sat there as if he was waiting for me.

"Tianlei, dad heard that you can rank in the city in the final exam this time?" Dad gave me a chopstick dish, and his tone was unprecedentedly earnest.

I understand why my parents allowed me to sleep until this time today, because they knew my final grades.

My mother fed my sister and gave me vegetables, "Tianlei, I heard from your father that you can be ranked in the top ten in the city in this final exam." ”

I winked at my father, pulled two mouthfuls of food and replied: "Mother, it's not the top ten, it's exactly the tenth, and besides, Dad, where did you hear about it?" ”

"I didn't see your Uncle Li when I went to the market this morning, his son came home the day before yesterday and said that the results came out, and today when I saw a Li Kou, he praised you to me, saying that you were the first in your school to rank in the top ten in the city, and said that maybe you can be sent to college!" Dad lit a cigarette pot and smoked it, and the wrinkles on his face were smiling, and in my impression it seemed that this was the second time that Dad was so happy besides my eyes could see.

I didn't speak again, continued to pick up the rice in the bowl, my father said that the ancestral tomb of the old Qi family can be regarded as smoking, our family has been farming for three generations, and now that my generation has finally produced a college student, my father can also raise his eyebrows in the village.

"Tianlei, there will be a meeting in the village in a while, and you will go with your father." Dad knocked the smoke pot and said.

"I'm going too? But the village meeting has never been the head of the family. "Although I understand that my father wants to show off to others, I really don't want to go to the village meeting.

"That's the rule of the older generation, how many years have this been liberated, your father's thinking is not so stubborn, and you are about to become an adult, don't always stay at home and go out with your father to see and learn."

I couldn't refute it, so I nodded in agreement.

The village meeting is generally only held at two times, one is that a major event occurs in the village and everyone needs to work together to solve it, and the other is a group of old men drinking and chatting under the guise of a meeting. If nothing else, it is expected to be the same today.

I followed my father to the village committee, which was already full of people, but it was not as noisy as I thought, but the atmosphere was still a little solemn.

Dad led me to sit next to a few uncles, and before Dad could ask, one of the bearded men came to Dad and winked, "Old Qi, have you heard, the mountain behind the village has been assigned to us!" ”

"Yes! I listened to the letter the day before yesterday, but I don't know if it's accurate, but now I'm really relieved! Dad slapped his thigh twice with some excitement and nodded again and again.

The short and thin goatee uncle rubbed his thighs twice and echoed, "Before, several villages were fighting for this mountain!" ”

"It's really incense to be able to give it to us!"

Although I don't know what the benefits of the mountain behind the village are for us, I heard them say that this mountain is very useful.

When the village chief dragged in on his back, everyone gradually quieted down, and the village chief had to cough when he walked two steps on wooden crutches, and his father turned his face and whispered: "This old man's body is not as good as day by day, I think it won't be long before this position will be vacant." ”

I laughed, "What?" Dad, do you mean that? ”

Dad hurriedly waved his hand, "I won't do this thankless job, I'm going to put you to college now, I don't want to do anything else!" ”

My father has always been an unsmiling appearance in my impression, but when I saw that my father's left hair was all gray today, I realized that my father had worked hard for this family over the years.

The village chief stood on the stage, "I think everyone knows the purpose of today's meeting, the mountain behind the village has been officially assigned to our village after approval!" ”

The quiet atmosphere was broken all at once.

The village chief knocked on the platform with a wooden crutch, "Our village has increased too many openings in the past two years, and some families can't even eat, but now it's okay, the mountain behind belongs to us, and there are two things to bring the big guys here today, one is to discuss a good day to prepare for the wasteland, these two..."

The village chief was holding the wooden crutches with both hands, and the weight of the whole person was propped up on it, and his lips were pursed, and his eyes fluttered, as if he had thought of something terrifying.

"Village chief, don't be sloppy, you said this second thing!"

"Yes, village chief, let's figure out a way together if there is any difficulty."

The village chief Li pouted, "The mountain behind... Although it was assigned to us, but... There's something sinister about that place. ”
