Childhood memories are weird, vague impressions and suspicious.

Now many people are educated in modernization, and they have a disbelievable attitude towards this kind of thing that is similar to feudal superstition, not to mention that many unbelievable phenomena can also be explained in a scientific way, but there are still many things that cannot be explained by science in reality, so that we have to believe that there are indeed ghosts and gods.

In some places in our north, the alternation of the four seasons is very obvious, the most prominent performance in addition to the temperature, that is, the time of day and night will be shorter or longer with the passage of the date and season, the winter days in the north will generally be dark earlier, four or five o'clock looks basically darkened, so in the winter children's school time is also from the beginning of four and a half o'clock, to the current three and a half o'clock, more than an hour in advance, but the children are more playful, even if it is after school, the stomach is hungry "cooing" called, as long as someone played with him, he would not go home too early to play and forget the time, and the adults in the house would come out to find them when it was dark and forcibly take them home.

Xiaobao is nine years old this year in the third grade of primary school, at that time there was nothing fun in the countryside, the most interesting thing is to be with the friends "crazy", go skating on the ice in winter, go fishing and catch shrimp in the summer, there is a wide river in the village where Xiaobao lives, the whole ice surface is frozen in winter, the ice sometimes overflows on the dirt road next to it, everyone walks on the ice, and it is flat and dusty, it is easy to fall.

Xiaobao's group of "bear children", regardless of whether they can wrestle or not, have to stay on the ice for a while every day, and the adults at home also made an "ice car" out of wooden planks for them This is also a great folk handicraft, a few long wooden planks nailed together, put two horizontal logs on the bottom to be fixed, nail two iron bars on the horizontal wood to reduce the friction with the ice surface, can make the ice car run more smoothly, but also reduce the wear and tear of the ice car, and then use two thin steel bars to make a wooden handle, made of two ice picks, used to push the ice car forward, don't look at these things are relatively simple, but also created a lot of "ice skating masters" Everyone competed in speed and skill together, and they had fun every day.

On this day, after school, Xiaobao and his friends trotted all the way to the "stick straw stack" by the river, took out the hidden ice car, came to the ice, and rowed up without fear of the severe winter cold.

At home, Xiaobao's mother, Ah Hua, was cooking dinner in the kitchen, like a fire burning to her eyebrows, she panicked and fried two dishes and put them on the dining table, and then bit a steamed bun and prepared to go out, her husband Chen Laosan asked a little unhappily: "Why can't you go out after dinner in such a hurry?"

Ah Hua glanced at Chen Laosan when he heard the words and said: "Aren't you talking nonsense, you stay at home all day and don't go out to earn some money, aren't all the expenses at home won back by me playing mahjong, why don't I hurry up and make money, what do I use to support you and your baby son, and that old immortal!".

Ah Hua was covered by Chen Laosan when he said this, and whispered: "You are good at everything, but this broken mouth always likes to talk nonsense, you have been serving our mother for so many years, so you can't say a few words!"

"I'm not just talking about it, I'm going to hurry up and the game is about to start, and after a while, you go and make the fish that the mountain baby sent yesterday, make some soup for our mother to make up for your body, and then get Xiaobao back as soon as possible, this kid knows that he can't even come back when he is crazy" Chen Laosan nodded and sent his wife Ah Hua out of the door.

After making a fish, Chen Laosan put on a ragged cotton coat and walked by the river at the head of the village, he knew that in winter, these children must be skating and playing in the river, and after walking for about ten minutes, Chen Laosan heard a burst of children's frolicking noise on the ice from a distance, and saw several children on the ice through the hazy moonlight, and each child was paddling hard, but he couldn't catch up with his son Xiaobao.

It turned out that there was a "big black shadow" behind Xiaobao who was helping to push Xiaobao, from the point of view of the figure, this should be an adult, this "person" ran very fast on the ice, pushing Xiaobao's ice car was simply galloping, Xiaobao was not afraid at all, sitting on the ice car and showing off to his friends: "Hurry up and chase me!".

Chen Laosan was a little unhappy when he saw this, whose adult is this, why is he so ignorant, how dangerous it is to push the car so fast! So Chen Laosan shouted Xiaobao's name from a distance, wanting them to stop. After Chen Laosan shouted, he saw that the black shadow flashed into the pile of sticks and straws by the river, and disappeared.

Chen Laosan quickly came to Xiaobao and asked him which adult was here just now, but Xiaobao and they all said that they hadn't seen any other adults, and they had been playing here.

Seeing the black shadow just now, it seemed to have entered the stack of sticks and straws, Chen Laosan did not give up and turned over several stacks of sticks and straws in a row and did not find the person hiding inside, "Could it be that I was dazzled just now?" Chen Laosan said to himself, but immediately a terrible thought came to Chen Laosan's heart, remembering that two children had fallen into the water in this river two years ago, and they were rescued by an old bachelor in the village.

Uncle Seven is alone and has no children and no daughters, so he is very fond of these children, often like an old child to play with these children, the children also like this old man very much, but the old man because of his age, after saving the two children but he was not able to go ashore, the result was drowned in this river, after a long time, everyone did not dare to approach the river, but there is no way This river is the only way to enter and exit the village, and gradually everyone found that there was no accident from here, and they forgot about it。

But now that I think about it, the black shadow just now seems to be a "hunchback" The old man, the appearance is really a little similar to the dead seventh uncle, although Chen Laosan is not sure that the black shadow is the soul of the seventh uncle, but thinking that Xiaobao is also one of the two children who was rescued at the beginning, he also has a strange feeling in his heart, you must know that after the death of the seventh uncle, it was the people in the village who helped him raise money to bury the old man, because of Xiaobao's relationship, the village chief asked Chen Laosan to pay a little more money out, at that time Chen Laosan was very unwilling, and had a fight with the village chief, now thinking about it is really a little afraid, he is willing to believe that he was dazzled just now, there is no black shadow at all, or it may be the shadow of the tree。

Chen Laosan didn't dare to stay any longer, pulled Xiaobao, and urged the other children to hurry back to their homes, seeing that Xiaobao was gone, these children were not interested in playing anymore, so they all followed Chen Laosan back to their homes.
