Second, the first half of the return to light
I don't know how long it has been for a long time, but I am completely lonely, I don't feel panic and fear, I can't feel the existence of my body, I just like a mass of origin things floating back and forth, this is to rush to reincarnation?
Or maybe it's a legendary vegetative person! Live in your own world until you lose your life!
Time flies by lightly, a lot of past events are recalled in the boredom of boredom, the short second half of life is too bitter, and only carefree happiness can be diluted for a moment.
I still remember when I was very young, my parents went to work in the city, and I always followed my grandparents. There is a spiritual mountain in our village, behind the mountain is a cemetery, which is regarded as a treasure of feng shui, and there is a legend that there is a dark cave in the back mountain, according to legend, there is not even a torch in the innermost part.
Later, it was scientifically proven that the air inside is relatively thin, close to vacuum, and the temperature is constant in all seasons (the people in the village always put the unearthed sweet potatoes in the hole, and they will not be bad for a long time, and then because it is too dark, they can't always tell whose things and whose things have a few contradictions and no longer put them), the mouth of the cave can be seen to flow out of a wisp of clear spring from the inside, cool in summer and hot in winter, and the spring water passes through the place throughout the entire field to the end of the village, and every kilometer or so can also derive a clear spring.
Every year on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, every time Sili and Baxiang go to the cemetery to worship, they will also go to the entrance of the cave to chant, leaving a place of fruits, eggs and paper money......
I still remember when I was six years old, people came in groups because of the annual worship, and the top of Lingshan Mountain slowly evolved into a temple fair in the form of sacrifices.
There has always been an unwritten custom in the village that underage children are not allowed to go up the mountain on this day, because there is something going on inside. Adults go up the mountain, children generally dig wild vegetables at the bottom of the mountain, the mountain is not high, and you can still see the lively crowd of vendors, you can only watch with their eyes.
On this day, the four of us were playing in the fields at the bottom of the mountain, and we saw an old man, pushing a big golden deer bicycle, and a sugar gourd shelf was inserted in the back seat, which was filled with sugar balls made of rice flowers, and rushed to the mountain from the path around us, making our children hungry......
I ran all the way to the mountainside, I couldn't catch up, I didn't dare to chase it, and if I got to the top of the mountain, I would be beaten up if I was seen by the villagers and went home...... This kid, I can't feel it when I chase it, I feel tired when I really stop, sit down and rest, or I won't be brisk when I go down the mountain.
Coincidentally, a butt just sat down, next to this is the legendary famous dark hole, the entrance of the cave happened to be someone who had just worshipped, there were piles of black paper money ashes, and there were some scattered melons and fruits next to it.
When I looked closely, there were a few things that I hadn't seen since I was young, and a few children looked at each other, and went over to see them, and they stood up and crawled over, not to mention that there were a few rare objects that had not been burned and were intact! A few people picked them up and sent them to their mouths, although they had never seen them, they tasted really good! What does such a big child care about this, anyway, it wasn't burned to those people in the cemetery, and it was very pleasant to eat.
This child's curiosity is the strongest, and there is a cave next to it, and it is still dark! I really want to go deep into it, in fact, if the children in the countryside don't say that the adults really don't know, when they grow up, they will feel that they really don't know how many times they went back and forth in the ghost gate when they were young.
To get back to the point, a group of little buddies are full of water and food (there is a spring next to it), and one of them is full of water, and he goes in and has a sense of adventure.
"Who brought matches?" As soon as the words fell, four small hands handed over four boxes of matches, just kidding, this equipment is necessary for playing at home in the field, roasting sweet potatoes, setting off firecrackers, and burning wildfires!
Pick up a few plastic bags and bags, pull a thick branch and tie it up and bundle it with a simple torch made in this way, at that time the awareness of environmental protection was not so heavy, plus the sacrificial reasons, plastic bags and bags can still be seen everywhere.
The entrance to the cave is not big, but children still can't touch their heads when they stand, because the villagers used to store grain here, and many potholes have been dug into the two sides of the cave wall, which can basically accommodate about an adult, and most of them are covered with stones or wooden boards.
Four small flames lit up, four small shadows slowly walked in, saying that they are not afraid that it is all a lie, children, there is a bold one among a few people, and the rest of them can't admit it, in fact, they are very panicked, and the fear of unknown darkness is innate to everyone.
"When the torches are about to go out, let's go back. ”
A few thin figures stumbled cautiously forward, the hole became more and more spacious the more inside, but the traces of artificial carving became less and less, the inside was natural, but the hole mouth seemed to be artificially dug out in the later period.
The four of them became quieter and quieter without speaking, and the sound of running water became clearer and clearer, and it was foreseeable that the spring water was indeed flowing from the depths, and the more they went inside, the more humid and thin the air became, and the flame of the torches seemed smaller and smaller, and there was still a lot of fuel left.
"Are you still going inside, you can't see the light behind you anymore," I don't know who whispered.
At this moment, a torch was extinguished, and everyone was startled, and hurriedly looked by the light of the fire, and it turned out that the water droplets on the top of the cave had dripped and extinguished the small flame that was not a raging fire, and the retreat was even worse.
Borrowed from his partner's torch to rekindle it, and the brightness was a little more, but it could only illuminate four small figures, and it was still pitch black all around.
"Go back, I can't see the light at the entrance of the cave. Everyone looked back, and it was really dark.
"Why don't we watch from behind, and you two turn around and go back?" People are like this, from light to darkness, behind you is light, you are not afraid of behind you, from darkness to light, when there is darkness behind you, you always feel cold behind you.
Especially the last one, I really didn't have a bottom in my heart if I didn't pull someone as a companion, so I naturally became the one who was a companion, and when I came in, I was ignorant and fearless, and when I stepped back, it was another thing to see the unknown darkness.
Then!! at this moment, a fierce light swayed from the direction of the cave entrance and drifted towards us at a very fast speed, getting closer and closer!!
The two in front of them were not calm, "What, what, hey, hey~ah~" A terrible scream came.
The two behind us were slowly retreating with torches... Does this take into account our feelings!
I heard the screams, suddenly felt a cold back and almost couldn't hold back, only to hear a plop, and my little friend who was walking back side by side staggered and fell to the ground, his face was blue and frightened, and he faintly saw water stains overflowing from the crotch of his pants, I don't know if he was sitting in the place where the spring water flowed or what.
Don't look at my young age, but I'm naturally smart, hold back my urine and shout "not good", raise the torch and look back!
"Ah!!?...... Uncle, how did you get in......"
"Dad, you spread my ears, it hurts!" The little friend who shouted just now shouted heartbreakingly, don't blame him, his feet are almost off the ground, shout out more comfortably......
The light approached, revealing a flashlight, which was really scary to shine on the face, and the child was scared anyway.
"You four of this, I know that I can't hold back any good fart, it's not Lao Li from the neighboring village and I said that you brought him here, I don't know that you four goods are mischievous here, there are so many sweet potato wells here, you can suffocate to death when you fall inside, I heard it and ran down, tired to death, thanks to the electric baton (flashlight). ”
As he spoke, he squatted on the ground and scooped up water and drank it, and put the flashlight on the ground, and went out far away, and looked at the light, and there seemed to be two strange-shaped stones in the darkness, like eagles and snakes, and more like dragons but no claws......
It's vague, but at first glance it looks quite similar, and it's easy to brag about going out......
"Why does this water smell weird...... What are you doing sitting here, get up, don't get cold. ”
The little friend rubbed his buttocks, "Uncle, when you came just now, there was a stone that pinned me, and it hurt to squat...... Sit on the ground slowly. ”
The little friend who retreated with me got up and followed the uncle who picked up the flashlight and walked back.
At the entrance of the cave, a stream of yellow spring water slowly flowed out, and instantly faded and disappeared......
Back at the entrance of the cave, looking at the wet butt sticking to the pants, listening to the scolding and humming and chirping drifting away, I glanced into the cave, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything, the things inside seemed to never exist, and we were still dark and mysterious as if we had never been in.
I haven't been to the cave since, and my mother came back from the city and had a problem with my father who wanted to take me to my grandmother's school, and that began my school career.
Contradictions continue to be transferred...... Finally, one day, I risked my whole family to successfully terminate my undesirable college studies, and secretly signed up for the army, successfully becoming a glorious soldier!!
From the reluctance at the beginning, to the slow acceptance, the transformation takes a process. During this period, I also discovered the preciousness of it, there is no intrigue, no conflict of interest, no life pressure, although it is hard, but the most honed will!
A year later, our unit was transferred to the center of the capital to take up the guard duty, and my post was on the dragon vein in the center, which was the only way for the emperor to go to court in ancient times...... There are few people and heavy tasks, so there is no way. I don't know whether to be happy or worried.
One day before being discharged from the army, standing guard in the early morning, standing guard from twelve o'clock to two o'clock, those who have been in the army know that this point is the most difficult, tired and sleepy always torment your body and mind, shake your will.
My post is on the stairs, and behind me is an important national building, and there is no room for slackness. It's a shame to say that in less than half an hour, there was a mind full of Zhou Gong who kept chatting with you about his life dreams.
Just when my eyes were about to compromise, suddenly, a loud bang exploded in my ears, and I was excited and raised my heavy eyelids.
Although I panicked in my heart, I couldn't act chaotically!! I picked up the explosion-proof baton behind me with my backhand and looked around vigilantly...... However, there was nothing out of the ordinary, and when I looked back, the door behind me was still closed, and nothing could be seen in the darkness inside......
I looked straight ahead and here's the problem!!
At first glance, there is nothing wrong, rubbing my eyes and then looking?
The sentry in front of me is gone!
Only the empty sentry post remained......
Here's the thing, I am standing at the gate post, at the main entrance of the building, there are very high steps under it, 50 meters outside the steps is the automatic gate, there is also a sentry post is also our class, the sentry post is far away, the iron gate has added a 1.2 meters high, the size of about one square meter of the sentry platform, easy to look at each other.
But a big living person is gone in an instant? There is a square in front of him? Even if I run at such a moment, I can't get out of my sight?
The tempered will reminded himself that the more this time came, the more he could not panic, and hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Lead the class, lead the class, I am the sentry of the North Gate, the sentry of the North Iron Gate is gone, please come over immediately to verify the situation!!"
After putting down the walkie-talkie, I felt sleepy, and I had never seen such a thing when I stood guard in the mountains......
About five or six minutes later, a figure running at a high speed appeared below, and when he looked closely, he was wearing a military uniform, and he should be the leader of the class.
I saw that as soon as he ran to the sentry post, he hurriedly squatted down, struggling... Lifted up... A straight and upright person......
Ten minutes! It was still blocked by the sentry platform, and not a single corner of the clothes was exposed, deliberately!!, I thought the world had evaporated, and this heartbeat ......
After a few minutes, the sentry regained his footing and led the class members to me.
"That guy is a real man, both thighs and calves are cramping, straight and fell down, in order not to disturb others in the middle of the night, I endured it for ten minutes without shouting, and when I ran over, my tears and snot were lying on the ground...... It's a little later, I guess my face will have to be pumped, it's good, and the vigilance is quite high. ”
The class leader smiled and looked at me.
"It's all brothers in the same class, I'm really afraid that something will happen to him"
I'm stupid.
"I have to stand for him for a while, let him rest, don't fall down again, it's not good for anyone to change a platform of more than one meter......"
As he spoke, the class leader walked down the steps.
Thinking of this, I am full of emotion, it is really not easy to join the army, and I am always facing risks......
I let go of the burden in my heart, and I felt that the surroundings were a little clearer all of a sudden, and the time passed by a minute, the more I went back, the heavier my eyelids became, and the upper and lower eyelids were calling each other very affectionately all the time......
I really can't resist this call from the heart, it's time to show the real technique!! standing and sleeping is our unique skill, standing upright, with all five senses closed, only eyes closed......
Silent recitation of 60 numbers...... 121、122...... Do you want to squint for another two minutes?
Looking down at the walkie-talkie and 15 minutes to get off the whistle, I seemed to see the pillow and quilt in front of me beckoning to me~~~Bang~whoosh~ pop, the dull sound broke the silence of the night again.
"Dude, fall down again, this leg is really waste......"
No, it doesn't seem to be coming from a distance, it's more like it's coming from a distance away.
When I opened my eyes, there were still two figures below, one standing and one sitting, and I didn't seem to hear anything unusual.
When I looked closely, there was an even darker mass lying on the steps five meters in front of me, silently, without knowing what it was.
Turn on the military flashlight and slowly walk to the front.
Drink! What a big crow!!
Its pupils are golden, and its eyes are open motionless! Its claws are so big! Under its claws are a small white dendritic object that is not really visible.
You may not know that in the depths of the capital, because there are many old-fashioned buildings, the ancient city gate tower and the ancient imperial palace are protected and uninhabited, resulting in two small animals flourishing, crows and weasels.
The crow is the largest here, I haven't seen it before, after all, they have all flown in the sky and have not been compared in the ground, and today is really insightful. Weasels see the most, often stand guard with us, not afraid of people at all, but often lie on our feet when it is cold at night in winter, I don't know whether to warm or warm us~~ But these bodies that can be seen everywhere here are small, there are no grievances, the perception is not bad, but I think it is very cute.
At that moment, a small weasel crept over, looked up at me, lowered its head and picked up its huge crow body and ran away......
You're really not afraid of me, and you're not afraid of me!
I glanced up at the lights on the top of the tall building behind me, today is a special day, the lights on the roof of the building are bright tonight, a whole circle, huge!
Probably because of this, the lights at the height were so dazzling that the crow didn't see the way forward, so it crashed into the building and fell from a height.
I didn't think much about it, after all, similar incidents have happened a few times, and the strange thing is that there is not a trace of blood in the place where the crow fell this time, and then how this small branch fell, although it doesn't feel so much of an eyesore......
Soon the sentinels who changed the sentry came, and the handover was complete. I can't wait to run to my warm little bed......
Walking to the twig, the breeze blew it to my feet, and I picked it up and stuffed it into my trouser pocket, and this good habit is still there. When I returned to the class, I carefully folded my clothes and put them in the wardrobe and fell asleep.
The dark dream slowly emitted a halo, and a small figure slowly squirmed. The intense light dissipated, and it slowly stood upright, revealing its true face.
The light gradually dimmed, its body gradually turned red, its face was blurred and its outlines were blurred, its eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and chin even had a small mustache...... It nodded and smiled at me, very mysterious, unscientific!
The dream was dim, my heart was cold, and the wake-up call sounded......
