Chapter 52: Clap and follow me
The land of Chen Yang's family is not small in the village, with more than ten acres. In addition to him, there is a brother and a sister. The brother who is six years older than him works in the fields with his parents, and his sister watches him at home.
I was cooking and tidying up the house. It was during the busy season of spring irrigation, and I usually had to go to the fields all day long, so someone needed to go to the fields to deliver food at noon.
After Chen Yang made a meal at noon, when she went to deliver the meal with a bamboo basket, she was worried that Chen Yang would run around, so she told him several times to watch the door and stop running around, and then went out. Before leaving, she left the yard
The wooden door is plugged in from the outside, and then the food is served. Generally speaking, the wooden door is bolted in the middle of the inside of the door. There is a small door hole where the lock is. Adults can reach in and open the door, but children can't open it from the inside.
Out of reach.
Unexpectedly, not long after Sister Chen Yang left after delivering the meal, Chen Yang, who was playing in the yard, heard the sound of children playing from outside. It was a child of six or seven years old. He knew the age for playing, so he added
He knew it was his birthday today, but his parents had gone to work in the fields and no one made poached eggs for him. He was also a little unhappy, so he ran to the door and stood on his feet to look out through the door opening.
The child, who was only about one meter old, could only see the vague sky through the door, and could not see the figure playing outside. Chen Yang became more and more itchy and unbearable. He swept around the yard and looked around from the chicken pen.
A wooden chair was dragged there, and after struggling to climb up, I looked outside.
Vaguely, he saw a group of children running towards the east. As soon as Chen Yang saw this, he plucked the door latch hard, fiddled with it three times and then let him open it. He immediately ran out of the door and headed east.
Look, there was no one on the empty village road. He was unwilling to give in and chased in that direction again.
Speaking of which, the child was also naive. He did not think about whether those children were familiar to him or not, nor did he consider anything else. He just wanted to find someone to play with. When he ran to the bamboo forest not far from his home, he heard those children playing.
The noise came from the bamboo forest.
Chen Yang ran in without thinking much at all. After entering, he followed the sound and came to the dry well deep in the forest. When he got there, he unexpectedly found that there were no thorns in front of the well, and there was a paved road.
The path covered with smooth black pebbles extends towards the well.
"Clap your hands and follow me. Wherever you go, inside the well, there is an opening in the well, which leads to the mouth of the underworld..." And by the well, a child wearing green clothes and a flowered clothes were clapping their hands.
While playing and having fun, Chen Yang listened to the children's song he had never heard before and didn't know the meaning, but found it very interesting.
Originally, Chen Yang wanted to go there immediately, but thinking about his father's repeated warnings not to play at the well, and thinking about some of the stories the old man told him, he became a little scared and hesitant. At this moment, the two children discovered him.
Waving his hand towards him, Chen Yang finally overcame his fears and ran over at a trot when he saw him.
"Do you want to breed with us?" The cute little kid dressed in green asked with a sweet smile at Chen Yang with his head held high. When he saw him nodding in agreement, he immediately talked to the kid in the floral dress.
The children reached out to Chen Yang together.
When Chen Yang saw it, he also grinned and stretched out his hand to hold the hands of the two children. But after holding it, he felt that the hands of the two children were very cold, which made him shiver, but he didn't wait.
After he thought too much, the two children took him in circles around the well.
"Clap your hands and follow me. Wherever you go, inside the well, there is an opening in the well, which leads to the mouth of the underworld..." While leading the sun around, the two children were still singing the children's song, Chen
Yang found it interesting. He sang along and jumped around. It was so fun.
"Oh, I want to go home, what are you doing..." But while they were jumping, the two children actually pulled him and jumped into the well. The darkness in front of him suddenly made Chen Yang fearful, and he struggled to relax.
He opened it, but was held tightly by those two cold hands, and then he fell hard into the well.
Chen Yang was so frightened that although he couldn't see the scene around him, he still hugged the child next to him. The moment he hugged him, he felt like he was holding an ice cube, and it was sticky. Thinking of these two children carrying
Seeing himself jumping into the well, Chen Yang didn't know where he got the courage. When his nose was full of tears and mucus, he actually leaned forward and bit the child he was hugging hard.
The moment he bit it, a fishy smell and coolness spread in Chen Yang's mouth, and a cool liquid flowed into his throat. Before he could think about it carefully, he felt that his body became light and airy, as if all of a sudden.
He flew up, and when he looked around, he found that he had exited the well at some point.
What frightened Chen Yang was that he was floating more than half a meter above the well. He wanted to land, but he couldn't. After trying a few times, he found that the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't get down, but
It will slowly fall down if it doesn't move, and when it reaches the ground, it will float up again with a slight tap.
The kid was not very smart, and Chen Yang didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He just thought he could fly. He was so happy that he immediately hit the ground and rushed home. He also thought that if his parents and brothers and sisters saw that he could fly,
Flying in the air, I don't know how surprised I should be.
What surprised Chen Yang was that when he arrived at home, the neighbor's Ah Huang was barking at him like crazy as if he didn't recognize him. After a long time, the neighbor thought that the dog was crazy and pulled the dog away.
After being dragged into the house and the courtyard door locked, Chen Yang became a little unhappy and even secretly vowed to never feed Ah Huang again in the future.
"You damn girl, I asked you to look at Xiaoyang, why did you let him run out? It will only cause trouble for me, why don't you go find your brother!" Just when Chen Yang recovered his mood and returned home, he found that
My father, who was in the fields, returned home at some point. He was covered in mud and dirt, and he was pulling her sister's ears and scolding her.
"Dad, I'm here. Stop quarreling with my sister. I ran out on my own!" Chen Yang has been playing with his sister since he was a child. The two of them are very close. When he saw his father quarreling with his sister because he ran out, he immediately became confused.
He tried to stop him in the past, but something frightened him happened. No matter how he shouted or tried to pull him, his father and sister seemed like they couldn't see him.
At this time, Chen Yang was a little confused and frightened. He was so frightened that he cried loudly. However, his father and sister remained unmoved and just looked around separately. I don’t know how long it took, but his mother
He and his brother also rushed back after receiving reports from the villagers. The family, relatives and neighbors searched for Chen Yang.
No matter how Chen Yang yelled after them, how he pointed at himself and said, "Here, here, here," no one looked at him. It was already dark. You know, because they were remote, there were no street lights in the village.
