This is the first bus to the county seat, because the small mountain village where Li Mutou lives is very remote, there are only two buses a day from the town.

One was at seven o'clock in the morning, the one they were sitting in, and the other was at five o'clock in the afternoon.

The weather outside the window was not very good, thick dark clouds covered the sky, and occasionally a muffled thunder or two came from a distance, as if a storm was coming.

Meiling hugged the sleeping Dafu, didn't say a word, looked at the mountains stretching out the window with empty eyes, and quietly seemed to have lost her soul.

On the contrary, Li Mutou fidgeted beside him, grabbing his unkempt hair for a while, and then standing up and pacing around the bumpy car, and from time to time he let out a long sigh.

After a while, he finally stopped moving, sat down heavily in his seat, and began to observe the passengers in the car irritably.

Suddenly, he noticed something unusual.

There weren't many people in the car, almost all of them leaned back in their chairs and closed their eyes, except for one person, who sat in the innermost seat of the last row.

There were still many vacant seats in front of them, and most of them were sitting at the front of the car, and he was the only one sitting silently in the far corner.

In fact, when Li Mu got into the car, he noticed this handsome young man, he was wearing a white robe, with long hair that only women have, and he looked very strange.

It's not that he doesn't care about his son, his son is like this and still has the heart to pay attention to other people. Of course, it's not that Li Mutou likes men, where do people in the mountains understand these messy things.

He just felt that there was a very peculiar temperament and an inexplicable familiarity in this person, but he was sure that he had not seen this handsome young man anywhere before, it was strange......

Noticing that Li Mutou was staring at him, the young man also moved his gaze to this side, staring directly at Li Mutou's eyes. Li Mutou was a little embarrassed to be stared at, smiled awkwardly, and turned his head forward.

But what he didn't notice was that a strange light shot into his eyes from the young man's eyes.

Somehow, Li Mutou felt as if he was particularly sleepy, could it be because he didn't sleep all night last night?

Li Mutou felt that his two eyelids couldn't stop fighting, and then he leaned directly on the seat and fell asleep!

......

In his sleep, he had a very strange dream, in which he dreamed that he was back in his childhood, catching cicada chrysalis in the woods with his father.

The father walked very fast, but his legs seemed to be disobedient, he couldn't move no matter how he moved, and finally he even collapsed directly to the ground!

He shouted in a panic, "Daddy, Daddy, you wait for me, I'm scared." While dragging his two unconscious legs, he tried to crawl forward, but found that the distance between him and his father was still getting farther and farther.

Suddenly, everything around me went dark, as if someone had turned off the lights in a windowless room.

Li Mutou was frightened for an instant and couldn't say a word, and the sudden darkness seemed to push him into the abyss, constantly falling and falling, and he couldn't touch anything.

Suddenly, a light appeared in front of him.

It's the light of a flashlight! It's Daddy!

Li Mutou was in ecstasy, waving his hands happily and shouting:

"Daddy, Daddy, I'm here. As he spoke, he happily crawled towards the light.

Finally, Li Mutou crawled to the side of the beam of light, and opened his hands excitedly, wanting to hug the majestic figure. only to find that what he reached out to touch was a slimy thing.

Li Mutou looked up strangely, but saw the most terrifying scene in his life!

A huge cicada chrysalis towered in front of his eyes, and there seemed to be something inside, slowly breaking out of his shell!

As for the light that Li Mutou saw, it actually came from the eyes of the cicada chrysalis! At this time, Li Mutou clearly saw that a miserable white hand was grasping the flashlight at this time!

"Son, why are you so slow, come, come over to Dad's side. ”

Li Mutou suddenly heard his father's voice, he was ecstatic, and his frightened body seemed to be full of strength again, struggling to get up and throw himself into his father's arms.

But to his horror, he found that the sound actually came from the cicada. And the thing that broke out of the shell was not a cicada chrysalis, it was his own father!

At this time, half of his body had already poked out of the cicada's moult, his face was already bloody and fleshy, and his face was even torn off, revealing Sensen's white bones! He grinned and lost half of his lips, and smiled gloomily at Li Mutou:

"Come here, son......"

"Ah!!!!!h

Li Mutou finally couldn't help it and screamed in horror!

......

Jumping up from the seat with a "rub", Li Mutou gasped heavily, startling Meiling next to him.

"What are you doing, you're shocked. Scared Daifuku. Meiling patted her chest and said angrily.

Then she hurriedly hugged Daifuku into her arms, patted Daifuku's back rhythmically, and hummed an unknown nursery rhyme in her mouth: "Pat your back, go to sleep quickly, Shunshun Mao, can't be scared ......"

The big fortune in his arms didn't react, and he still slept quietly.

Li Mutou looked around in horror and found that no one seemed to notice his actions.

The rattling windows of the car seemed to hide the movement they had made.

Only the young man in the corner of the car was still looking at him, but he frowned at this time, as if thinking about something.

Li Mutou was uncomfortable by him, shook his groggy head, and recalled the dream just now.

How could I have such a strange dream? How did my father come out of such a big cicada chrysalis, and his face rotted like that?

In fact, Li Mutou actually has no impression of this so-called father, and his father was no longer there when he was very young.

Li Mutou's impression of him is only that when they were children, they went to the woods together to catch cicada chrysalis. In the back, he picked up the cicada chrysalis that his father had knocked down from the tree, put it in the bottle he was carrying, and concentrated on a mobile warehouse. And the father held a bamboo pole and a flashlight in front, as if the Grim Reaper, mercilessly harvesting the lives of one cicada chrysalis after another.

Of course, Li Mutou also asked about his father when his mother was alive.

But as soon as he mentioned his father, his mother, who had always been gentle, rolled on the ground with her head in her hands, and kept muttering some unknown words in her mouth.

Words like "cicada chrysalis", "skeleton", "monster", no matter how many words there are, even if Li Mutou has lived with his mother for so many years, it is impossible to distinguish clearly.

I thought that once my father was mentioned, my mother would react like this, but what I didn't expect was that one day, something happened......

It was the day before his mother died, she had called him to his side, Li Mutou had never seen the light in his mother's eyes so clear, in other words, he had never seen his mother so sober.

And what his mother said next made him feel even more unbelievable! Because his mother actually took the initiative to mention to him about his father.

The mother looked at her son with tears in front of her eyes and said with relief:

"Don't blame your father, he's the greatest man in the world. He loves you, so do I, and we're all for you. But I didn't expect that everything has cause and effect, we saved you, but we also harmed you. It's all retribution, retribution!"

......

After Li Mutou's mother said these words, she spit out a mouthful of black blood and swallowed her breath.

Li Mutou was grief-stricken, and after his relatives helped him take care of the funeral, he cried in front of his mother's grave for three days and three nights.

He often remembered what his mother had told him before she died, but he never understood what his mother's words before she died.

He always felt as if his mother was hiding something, trying to tell him, but for some reason, he couldn't say it.

And I seemed to understand something from my mother's words, but I couldn't figure out what the flash of inspiration in my head was.

......

"It's time to get to the county seat, go to the county hospital from here, walk 200 meters to the east, don't get off at the station, wait until you get to the terminal!"

The driver's loud voice interrupted Li Mutou's thoughts.

He came back to his senses, patted his stiff face, and took the initiative to hold the sleeping Li Dafu from his wife's arms.

Li Dafu still fell asleep very quietly......

At this time, Li Mutou suddenly heard his stomach rumbling a few times, and rubbed it helplessly, for the sake of his son, he and his wife had not eaten for a day.

No, that son must be hungry too! What should I do? No, I need to go to the hospital quickly. If it goes on like this, the son's body can't bear it!

Suddenly, Li Mutou noticed that something was wrong. He looked around the corner of the car and saw that there was no one there.

What about that young man, who was in the corner of the car just now, why did he suddenly disappear?

If he passed by, he would have been able to find out, but why didn't he feel anything at all?

"What are you doing in a daze? Get out of the car, Dafu is still waiting for treatment!" Meiling saw Li Mutou stunned there, without the slightest intention of moving, and pushed him angrily.

Li Mutou came back to his senses and hurriedly got out of the car with Meiling.

Then the bus started, and after a while, it kicked up a puff of dust and walked away.

Li Mutou hugged Dafu, and couldn't figure out how the young man disappeared, could it be that he quietly got out of the car when he was stunned?

It shouldn't be! Standing on his way, you have to get his consent to go over! It's even more impossible to turn over from your seat, and it's impossible for such a big living person to turn over without noticing!

Li Mutou was completely confused, he really couldn't figure it out, so he turned around and asked Meiling: "The young man who was in the back corner of the car just now, did you see when he got out of the car?"

Meiling just wanted to urge Li Mutou to quickly set off to the county hospital, but she was stunned by such a question.

"What young man? There's no one behind us!"

Li Mutou was stunned, and suddenly felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, from his back to the top of his head!

"No one!?So what do I see!?"
