The house that Wu Fei's family lives in now is built next to the highway. It was built only after the opening of village-to-village access in recent years. The whole family used to live in the old house.

The old house is not far away, it only takes ten minutes to walk.

The old house is a large courtyard, surrounded by several houses, with more than 20 rooms, large and small. I remember that when I was a child, 8 families lived in the courtyard. In the middle is a large square open space, also called

There is a well in the patio.

Later, when conditions improved, every family built a new house, and the courtyard became empty. When Wu Fei went out to work five years ago, Wu Fei and his family were the only ones left in the eldest courtyard.

A few years ago, when Wu Fei's family planned to build a house, Wu's father wanted to knock down the courtyard and build a house on the old foundation. He negotiated with six of the seven families and bought the homesteads from them. The total cost was a lot.

It was almost 200,000 yuan. For the houses above the foundation, no one said anything, and each family was given 5,000 yuan.

But the last one, Zhang Hongshan, had gone out to do business in his early years and had not been home for several years. He also had no relatives at home. It was difficult to contact him. We talked on the phone several times but could not reach an agreement. Later, we simply approved another one next to the highway.

A homestead, a rebuilt house.

In this way, this courtyard house has been preserved. I remember that there were many courtyard houses like this when I was a child, and many of my classmates lived in them. However, in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer of them. When I came back a few years ago, it seemed that only the remaining

There are three or four of them, I don’t know if they have been dismantled now.

Walking into the old house, the huge old house was deserted. Based on his memory, he turned on the lights in the yard, and the old house that appeared from time to time in his dreams appeared in front of Wu Fei. Everything was the same as before, and it had been stepped on by everyone before.

There are a lot of weeds growing on the bare patio now, but they are not deep. Dad must be weeding again.

A breeze blew by, and the wind was mixed with the smell of vegetation. The sound of frogs, crickets, and birds sounded around from time to time.

After passing through the patio and the wing, Wu Fei skillfully opened his door and turned on the light.

Speaking of which, such a switch may only be seen in such an old house. A nylon cord is connected to the switch. Pull it "pop" and the light will turn on. Pull it again and "pop" and the light will go out. Wu Fei was very naughty when he was a child.

For a period of time, I kept turning on the electric light. When the voltage of this kind of incandescent lamp was unstable, it would be easy to burn out the tungsten wire inside if the power was turned on and off continuously. At that time, Wu Fei was in trouble

I bought a lot of light bulbs and ate Father Wu’s fried pork with bamboo shoots.

The walls are covered with various posters, all of which are celebrities who were popular when I was studying at the time. There are a few certificates in the middle. However, most of them have become tattered.

There is also a picture from the sixth grade of elementary school. There is writing on it with a brush

"Classmate Wu Fei:

Named one of the three best students in the first semester of the 2006-2007 school year." More than 10 years later, the ink is still dark. I can only say that the quality of the things at that time was really good.

A wooden box was pulled out from under the bed, which contained treasures that Wu Fei had collected since childhood.

Yo-yos, powder guns, glass marbles, slingshots, pictures, game consoles...the objects that carry memories of childhood are placed on the desk one by one.

Inside a bottle of colorful marbles, a piece of dark wood that looked like a token caught Wu Fei's attention. When he took it into his hand, it was heavy.

When I was a child, I always liked to hunt for treasures everywhere. Every time I found something I liked, I would always be happy for a while. The great man badge and a few copper coins in the box were my uncle's collection, which later enriched Wu Fei's collection.

The treasure chest. So is the token.

The top of the token is round with a small hole, and the bottom is pointed like the tip of a sword. Although it is made of wood, it will not float when placed in water. When I was a child, I always wondered why the wood could not float.

Woolen cloth.

For a long time, Wu Fei hung the token around his neck with a red rope. It felt cool at the time.

When I was in junior high school, many of my classmates had tattoos, such as broomsticks and afros. Wu Fei had always wanted to get a green dragon and white tiger tattoo like his classmates. But Wu Fei was afraid of pain, so he could only buy the ones that cost one yuan each.

I put several stickers on them. Every time I took a shower, I would wash them off and put them on again. Come to think of it, this post cost Wu Fei a lot of breakfast money at the time.

But the coolest thing in junior high school was this token, because it was not only heavy, but also very hard. There was one thing that Wu Fei still remembered.

Once, he made a bet with a classmate and used his token to poke a hole in the classmate's iron pencil case. In order to keep the pencil case with him, Wu Fei didn't have breakfast for a week.

There was a "pop" sound, and the sound of the glass bottle containing marbles falling to the ground awakened Wu Fei, who was lost in memories. However, Wu Fei accidentally dropped the bottle to the ground and broke it, causing glass shards to fall everywhere.

Wu Fei hurriedly picked up the large piece of glass and threw it into the trash can in the yard. After searching for several times, he found a broom in the kitchen and carefully swept up the broken glass. After sweeping it several times, it was finally cleaned up.

.Although I was very careful, my finger was still scratched by the glass. Although it didn't hurt very much, the blood continued to flow.

Wu Fei, who was busy trying to stop the bleeding, didn't notice that a few drops of blood fell on the token, and then disappeared strangely. He didn't find anything to stop the bleeding in his room, so Wu Fei thought about going to the room where Wu's father lived to look for it.

When Wu Fei walked out of the room, he was stunned for a moment. Where is this place?

A low stone house, covered with thatch. A simple fence surrounds the house, forming a small courtyard.

Not far from the house, there is a well similar to the one in the yard. Not far from the well, there is a small pond, and the water from the well flows into the pond along the ditch.

The pond is not big, about the size of a piece of land. There are lush weeds growing around it.

Just like many old houses in rural areas that have not been lived in for a long time, they look deserted and dilapidated because they have not been taken care of for a long time.

But where are the houses surrounding the patio? The surrounding environment is also wrong. Behind the old house is a large piece of flat land, and there is a mountain behind it. But what happened now? The house is gone, and the mountain is also gone.

The stone slabs that originally covered the patio are also gone.

"Isn't it because I met a ghost and hit the wall?" Wu Feibujin, who heard many ghost stories when he was a child, thought.

"The Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and ancestors of the Wu family, please protect me! Let me out."

Wu Fei murmured to himself, and quickly prayed to all the gods he could think of. When he wanted to do it again, he found that he had returned to the yard, the house appeared, and the lights in the house appeared.

It was still lit, and in the night frogs croaked, birds chirped, and crickets sounded one after another.

Unknowingly, Wu Fei was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and stopped looking for anything to stop the bleeding. He didn't know when he had stopped the bleeding on his own.

When Wu Fei returned to the room, he wanted to take the token to Xiao Duoduo to play with, but he couldn't find it. Inadvertently, he found that there was a token imprint on the palm that had just been scratched by the glass. Unexpectedly,

People who are familiar with it still can't notice it, thinking that it's a mark left by something that hasn't been cleaned off.

Staring at the mark strangely, Wu Fei appeared in the strange place just now.
