The first thing I saw when I woke up was the strong harsh sunlight projected outside the window, and I blocked it with my hand, only to find that my grandmother was sitting on the edge of my bed with a cold face.Recalling the shattered dream, my head began to hurt slightly.I only remember the operating room in the dream, the hideous eyes of my father and grandmother, the coldness of my grandmother, and the woman who laughed and dropped her tongue like a rag sewn up under the mountain.It's all weird and weird, I think it's very terrifying, I see my grandmother sitting in the backlight, I have a full sense of security, I hugged my grandmother aggrievedly, crying, "Grandma, I'm so scared, last night, there was a woman in the backyard, she looked so scary and, she smiled at me inexplicably, and when she smiled, her tongue fell off." ”My grandmother pulled my hand away, still grim on her face.I thought she didn't believe my words, so I quickly continued to explain, "Really, I saw you last night, grandma, where are you pulling me to" Just as I was about to explain, she suddenly pulled me out of bed."
Go to the backyard and kneel.""
I don't want it, it's so scary there, grandma, I really didn't lie to you."
From my grandmother's slightly stunned voice, I could tell that she was angry, but why was she angry, I did see her, and the horrible woman.Although my grandmother was old, her body was very strong, and I grabbed the doorknob with both hands, and she pulled me away at once."
I told you not to go out of the room, if you want to go out, you have to go to the backyard and kneel today.""
Don't beat me to death, don't even go to the backyard."
Ignoring my resistance, she dragged me down the hallway to the backyard.It wasn't until the locust tree that she gave up."
Kneel down for me" The locust tree in the sun, the green leaves glowing, just stood there quietly, without that terrifying woman, the boulder in my heart disappeared in an instant.Thinking that he didn't listen to his grandmother's words, he would encounter such things when he went out of the room without permission, and after thinking about it, he still did something wrong, so he knelt obediently.Grandma went under the tree, dug up some dirt, and pulled out a very small root."
Ouch.Grandma, why are you pulling my hair?
”The scalp feels like a needle pricked slightly.She glared back at me, and I was silenced, and then she knelt to the side.I looked up and squinted at the bright sun, and it was supposed to feel warm and even hot, as if I had just woken up, but the mud under my knees sent a clammy cold through my skin, from my knees to my heart, and I suddenly shivered.The grandmother next to me was putting those few of my black hair together with the root, the root and the black hair were mixed together, I couldn't recognize which one was the black hair, which one was the root, or rather, the root had turned into a handful of black hair I thought it was my illusion, I rubbed my eyes again and again, the burning flame was really green, different from the usual blue, red and yellow flames.As the flames burned, I noticed that the tree in front of me was constantly covered with a puff of black gas.The black gas was dancing like countless hands, trying to catch something really startled me, and the image of the horrible woman last night flashed in my mind, and I didn't dare to look up at the locust tree, but kept staring at the extremely slow flame.Watching the flames gradually devour the strands of black hair, I felt the temperature around my body drop.I didn't dare to move, or I could say that my whole body stiffened and I couldn't move.Grandma's eyes lingered on the flames, and I tried to open my mouth to call her, but she lowered her voice and closed her eyes and chanted a series of incantations.Her voice was very soft, and my nerves were tense, and I didn't quite hear what my grandmother was saying."
Sixteen years have passed, the different bones on Xuanmo's body have changed, if you still want to entangle, don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes" Suddenly, grandma raised her voice and roared.Then I caught the falling ash with a bowl of water that I didn't know where to conjure, turned around and poured the ash into my mouth.That's right, it's irrigation.I choked on a mouthful of fishy water and coughed incessantly, while my grandmother dropped the empty bowl like no one was right, got up and wanted to go into the house.At this time, the wooden door of the courtyard was rudely kicked open, and a scolding and smiling male voice could be heard in the distance."
I said, madman, hurry up and give me a trip."
A middle-aged man with a dark complexion and shorts and a shirt walked over, and he urged his grandmother vigorously, but he didn't come to get any closer.Seeing that his grandmother was bent down to go to the tree to clean up the paper ashes, he couldn't help but stepped forward and yelled again, "What are you rubbing, hurry up, the village chief's family is in a hurry." ”Listening to this very impatient voice, I turned around and looked, it turned out to be the second uncle of the old Niu family, he was about forty years old, he was the strongest man in the village, and he was not ambiguous at all when he worked in the fields, but he had a very big temper.Grandma just stood up, probably because she had been kneeling for a long time, and she shook her body a little dizzy."
Oh, my aunt, can you hurry up, this is all dead, why don't you hurry up and collect the corpse" Second Uncle Niu kicked the stake on the side of the big tree, and I suddenly found that when I stepped down, my grandmother's face sank."
Okay."
Grandma paused, put away the strange look on her face, and nodded woodenly.When his grandmother walked up to him, he bounced away as if he was afraid of getting a germ, and spat on his grandmother."
You madman stay away from me, I don't want to die yet."
Obviously, he asked his grandmother for it, and he made it seem as if his grandmother owed him, and with such an attitude of inviting people to do things, I wanted to ask for justice for my grandmother, but I knew in my heart that I couldn't open my mouth.Because my grandmother and I were not from this village, because my grandmother was able to clean up and bury the dead in the village, which was a bit of a contribution, so the villagers did not drive us away, and gave my grandmother a few pieces of land to beg for a living.If we offend the people in the village, my grandmother and I will probably be kicked out."
Aren't you going to collect the corpse, don't you leave," Grandma said coldly.Second Uncle Niu seemed to remember something, so he turned around and walked towards the village, but he kept screaming and scolding, what a nasty guy.After my grandmother left, I knelt alone under the locust tree in the backyard, and it was very quiet.My fingers were drawn on the dirt to pass the time, but no matter how boring it was, I just didn't dare to look up.Because that big tree is so terrifying, plus the scene last night:
