Chapter 35: Is it my brother?
As a result, after Wei Linjuan left, I was worried all night, and when I thought of my brother who died in childbirth, I couldn't help but be worried and scared.
Even though I haven't met him, I've been under his influence all my life. From the first one soul and two flowers, to the ill-fated later, so that everything now is inseparable from him.
I lay in bed and fell asleep for a long time.
……
It was probably in the middle of the night, and there was a cool wind blowing in my ears, digging into the quilt hard, and my whole body was so cold that I got goosebumps, like falling into the cold well water, I curled up in the quilt and shivered.
At the same time, I didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly I felt sad, and I missed my grandmother.
Then I remembered it again...... When my grandmother died that night, a lot of strange things happened, why people could still move when they died, and they could still hold my wrists, and that horrible hissing sound.
Liu Ruxiang told me before that she was possessed by the snake spirit in the mountains.
Yes, yes, it should be that.
But......
As soon as my mind jumped, I was thinking, I have two souls, and the extra flower comes from this brother, even if I robbed him of his things, will he hate me?
You must know that in Mojia Village, it was also since I was born that the fortunes of my family took a sharp turn for the worse, and since then I have begun to live a hard life.
Brother, you probably won't come to me.
Thinking of this, I couldn't stop shivering.
My memory goes back to the time when I went to the grave in winter, when the weeds were withered and yellow, the paper money was flying, and I passed by the pond where my brother was buried, and the apples were thrown into it, and there was not a ripple in the dark water.
In the silence of the room, only the sound of my heart beating in my chest was popping.
I was so frightened that I covered my head tightly with the quilt, remained motionless, closed my eyes, and hoped that I would fall asleep immediately.
Don't think cranky, don't think cranky, my brother is in Mojia Village, how can he come over?
"Whew-whew-whew-"
Slowly, there was a very regular breathing sound in the quilt.
As I slept here, I felt more and more uncomfortable, as if I was bound by something, and my chest was very tight, as if a large stone had pressed against it.
"Uh-"
When I opened my eyes, I suddenly felt a chill, as if I had fallen into the water, and the quilt and mattress under me were all soaked with water, and I felt as if my whole body was wrapped in water.
Fear welled up in my heart, and I couldn't understand how I could find myself in such a situation when I was sleeping well.
I kicked with my feet, and when I was struggling, my legs seemed to be held down by something, and I jerked forward!
"Uhh
The intense pain came from the calf, as if a cold hand had passed directly through the muscles and skin, pinching the leg bones and twisting violently, hurting into the bone marrow!
I gritted my teeth, trembled and yelled like crazy.
"Help! Help me! Ahh
The feeling of powerlessness that came from the depths of the soul lingered in my heart repeatedly, as paralyzing and powerless as lightning striking my whole body.
A lot of cold liquid flowed out of the whole quilt under my struggle, as if it was going to drown me here.
It was at this moment that the bedroom door creaked.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock—"
Footsteps approached, and a huge force tugged at the quilt.
"Wow!"
The quilt was removed, and in the darkness, a woman with a disheveled hair appeared beside my bedside.
The dazzling bright light shone into the room, and Liu Ruxiang frowned and pulled her hair back to the back of her head.
She shook her flashlight and breathed a sigh of relief at the distorted look on my face and the muscles on my calves that were throbbing involuntarily.
"You rabbit cub, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what's the dog's name?"
I also breathed a sigh of relief, my soul was almost scared out in the blink of an eye.
I gasped and sat up from the bed, when I found that the bed and under me were covered with water, and behind me, there was a completely open window, and a biting cool breeze was blowing into the room, mixed with many raindrops.
"Look at it, it's really itchy, I don't close the window when I sleep at night, and the rain all falls in, how can I sleep here?"
Liu Ruxiang was annoyed, rushed up and grabbed my ear.
"Don't hit me, my brother is here!"
I screamed in fear and retracted my legs, my face still in excruciating pain.
Liu Ruxiang smiled: "Rabbit cub, if you have any brothers and brothers, you can scare yourself!" It's obviously the rain that soaked the quilt, and you caught a cold in the middle of the night, causing cramps in your legs. ”
Although my leg still hurts, the fear in my heart completely disappeared when I heard this explanation.
"Ahem, I should have had a nightmare and talking in my dreams. But then again, how am I going to sleep tonight! ”
Liu Ruxiang glanced at me, closed the window, and brought me two clean quilts from the cabinet next to me.
"You clean up by yourself, put the wet ones aside, take them out to dry tomorrow, and make do with these two quilts tonight."
Looking at the back of Liu Ruxiang going back, I also knew the cause and effect of the incident in my heart.
The quilt was soaked by the rain and became very heavy, and the sheets were entangled in the body, so I struggled several times and didn't come out. As for the pain in the legs, it's cramps.
Should be...... Something like that, right?
Now, the kerosene lamp at the bedside is lit, the room is bright, and I am not afraid.
I sat on the edge of the bed for a while, pinching my calf from time to time, and it took a long time for the pain to be relieved.
It took a lot of effort to remove the two soaked quilts, and I gasped and looked at the bed, my eyes suddenly widening.
On the birch bed, there were black footprints the size of eggs, which spread all the way to the head of the bed near the wall and to the window.
I put my hand over and compared it, it was exactly the size of a baby's foot, and I felt a tingling in my scalp.
Cold sweat was running down my back, and I reached out to touch it, but I couldn't touch any stains.
Just a few seconds passed, and the black footprints were no longer visible.
Following the direction in which the footprints eventually disappeared, looking out of the window, an extremely thin figure with a miserable white body was lying on the courtyard floor on a rainy night.
He had his back to me and couldn't see his face clearly.
"Ahh
I was almost startled and slumped on the bed behind me.
At this point, something strange happened.
The footprints on the bed, on the wall, and on the window were all gone. I held my breath, stood up and looked out the window, it was empty, and I couldn't see the white baby again.
For a moment, I was so panicked that I didn't even have time to put on my shoes when I stood up, so I grabbed the kerosene lamp, pushed open the door and went to find Liu Ruxiang.
