Suddenly the wind howled, and there was a continuous sound of "Woo...Woo...Woo...".
Zishen felt someone was chasing him behind him. He stood there and did not dare to move even half a step. His whole body was stiff as if someone had frozen him. After several consecutive shivers, he took a few deep breaths of cold air and finally calmed down a lot of his fear.
He slowly twisted his neck like a robot, but he didn't dare to twist too much. There seemed to be some monster in front of him looking at him. He wanted to look forward and backward, but he always ended up looking at one thing and the other.
"Ah!!!..." He was trembling all over and gasping for breath.
"There's nothing behind!..." He was thankful.
The tiles of the small house were blown by the sudden strong and fierce west wind. The small house was also in dilapidated condition. There were several large holes in the doors and windows. With the door open, the west wind could directly blow.
Drive straight in.
"Huu!...Huuhu!..." I heard a few strong west winds blowing into the hut...
"Dang!...Thump!..." Various strange and tragic sounds instantly penetrated Chen Zishen's eardrums. He was frightened and almost scared to death. He was still a little afraid of ghosts, but at this time he only wanted to
If there is a ghost, show up as soon as possible. Being so sneaky and scary in the dark will really scare him into the living dead.
"Meow!...Meow meow!..." Suddenly a miserable sound came from the roof, and then an exquisite and agile figure flew past his eyes.
"Ah!..." Chen Zishen screamed with chills all over his body. At the same time, he stretched his hands forward, instinctively wanting to resist the danger from the outside world, but the figure was too fast and too small. Chen Zishen did not touch it at all.
A hair on the root.
If the gloom and loneliness continued like this, Chen Zishen could not guarantee that he would be scared into a vegetative state, but suddenly there was a sound, and he felt a little more relaxed, which at least meant that there was still life in the endless darkness, regardless of whether the life was a mutant.
It's still normal, but it's better than endless silence.
He immediately thought that the thing just now was a cat. After living in the countryside for so long, he still had this intuition. It should be said that he did not hate cats, and he did not blame the cat for showing up at this time.
It means, on the contrary, he is a little grateful, just like walking alone in the dark. It would also be a good choice to have a dog to accompany him. This scary wild cat actually gave him a little life and a glimmer of hope.
"Fuck you, you bastard! Come and scare me!" Chen Zishen yelled with all his strength. This was probably the most filthy thing he had ever said, and it was also the most against his will.
He didn't want to scold the wild cat. He just wanted to use this roar to break the gloomy murderous atmosphere. As expected, after uttering these extremely manly words, his courage immediately grew a lot, and he felt a wave of excitement all over his body.
A stream of heat passed by, he clenched his fists with both hands, let out a long masculine breath, and then walked forward with steady steps.
…………
He finally walked past the hut and the sluice gate, and he could reach his grandparents' house in three or four minutes. He already had some hope in his heart.
He lowered his head and speeded up a trot on a rugged narrow dirt road. On one side of the road were fertile fields and on the other side was a vegetable garden. Winter does not mean death, there are still some plants that can grow, such as cabbage, peas...
There is a tall earthen cave dwelling in front of you. Of course it is called a cave dwelling, but it is actually uninhabitable. I heard it was used for burning bricks and tiles many years ago, but it is now abandoned.
In plain areas, such high soil slopes are really rare. This bulge is almost the highest terrain in the village. For example, the soil slope of a huge cemetery has been turned into a veritable vegetable patch, covered with green plants, but
In the dark night, Chen Zishen could not see anything, but all kinds of strange and bizarre legends about the earthen kiln were played in his mind one by one - poisonous snakes, beasts, dead people...
Chen Zishen felt guilty again, but compared to the previous terror, he was much better now. He thought: speed up and run, it's only a few steps away.
He suddenly accelerated and rushed forward, as if all fear had been left behind.
"Ah!...Oh!...Who can walk without eyes!..." An old, feminine voice sounded...
"Ah!!!...Which one is it?..." Chen Zishen immediately exclaimed. He staggered back a few steps and almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, he quickly heard a person talking in front of him.
It turned out that when Chen Zishen lowered his head and ran quickly, an object hit him. Chen Zishen's momentum was very strong at that time, and he knocked the object far away in an instant. Fortunately, it was a dirt road, and even if the object fell to the ground, it would not be affected.
How much damage.
"Who are you?……"
Chen Zishen quickly saw clearly that there was an old woman in front of him (the human eye has a very strong adaptability. If you are in the dark for a long time, you will almost adapt to the darkness, and you will slowly be able to see something clearly, not to mention this moment, the other moment,
At that time, he had already run to a place where there was almost a crowd, and the lights were slightly brighter). Her gray hair was pulled up like an old nun's bun, and she was holding a skinny wooden stick in one hand. Even if she fell to the ground, the stick was still
She was still holding it firmly in her hand. It seemed that this stick was extremely important to the old woman. She couldn't even travel far without it.
"Kill me, kid!..." The old woman said something quite normal, and Chen Zishen heard it clearly, so he was sure that she was a living person, not a dead ghost, and he felt a little relieved.
"Oh!...Why are you still walking in the wilderness in the early hours of the morning? What are you doing?" Chen Zishen still asked cautiously. He wanted to be 100% sure that the old lady in front of him was not a ghost. He didn't want to bump into a ghost. If he talked to a ghost,
, you may have bad luck every day in the future.
"The old house is too dilapidated, and there is no heat in the bed. My son is unfilial. Now I go to sleep at my son's and wife's house. If they don't agree, I have to sleep in it, and I have to die in their house." The old woman said miserably.
"Oh, that's it, but there's no need to walk out in the middle of the night. If you're not afraid of scaring others to death, you should be afraid of yourself. Isn't it said that women are most afraid of the dark?" Chen Zishen said kindly, at this time he was considered
I was sure that the old man in front of me was definitely a living person, because what she said was completely human, not vague nonsense.
"What are you afraid of? Children! What are you afraid of when you are already dying? You will be in the tomb soon." The old woman said with a faint smile.
"Oh, that's it, you don't need me to help you, right?" Chen Zishen said and walked towards the old woman with some fear. After all, he was the one who knocked the old woman down. He must be responsible, although he was not very willing in his heart.
It was fun to help the old woman in the dark.
"You go on your own. Old lady, I'm so old and I'm here to scare a young man. I shouldn't, I shouldn't. This is the old woman's fault. The young man should go home early to sleep in the future and avoid walking at night. What will happen to him?
Unlucky things are not good." The old woman bowed her hands and said compassionately. It could be seen that she should believe in Buddhism.
"Oh!..." Chen Zishen breathed a sigh of relief. He accelerated and rushed past the old woman. To be honest, although he was sure that the old woman was not a ghost, he was still a little scared. It would be best if he could get rid of her quickly.
Already.
…………
After spending more than twenty minutes in total, Chen Zishen finally ran to the door of his grandparents' house. He immediately shouted: "Grandpa!...Grandma!..."
"..." Through the window, Chen Zishen heard a few words that sounded like a dream but not a dream.
"It's Zishen, Zishen! It's so late!..." After less than a second, his grandparents reacted immediately, and then called his name in confusion.
"Yeah!..." Chen Zishen agreed outside the window.
"Right now, open the door right now!..." His grandma made an urgent voice, and then only the sound of shoes being dragged on the ground was heard.
"Squeak!...Squeak!..." The two wooden doors were opened, and his grandma took his hand and said anxiously:
"What happened? So what? Could it be that short-lived guy again?..."
Chen Zishen nodded and said: "Yes! Yes, he was drunk again and asked you to get a diabetic injection!"
His grandmother stamped her right foot violently on the ground and cursed with an angry look on her face: "That short-lived guy spends all his time eating, drinking, gambling, and has nothing serious to do. Will he die if he drinks less? It's not like he's going to die tomorrow.
No more drinking (in the dialect, "drink" has the same pronunciation as "live", so there's a pun here)."
His grandfather had already gotten out of bed with his coat on. He turned on the light bulb and saw Chen Zishen with a runny nose and bruises on his face. He immediately said: "What's going on? What's going on? Is this going to turn upside down?"
?Didn’t your mother remind you to go out without any clothes on?"
As he said that, his grandparents picked up a very thick coarse cotton coat at the same time. It looked extremely ugly. I don’t know if it was an old item from decades ago, but it was very effective in keeping out the cold. If it were left in broad daylight, no matter what
No matter how much his grandparents persuaded him, Chen Zishen was determined not to wear it, but now he was so cold that he couldn't bear it without wearing it.
"Let's go!" Chen Zishen said, holding his grandma's hand.
"Why go? Go away! Let him die as soon as possible. It will save people trouble. We are both several decades older. We have not enjoyed any of his happiness, and we are always here and there.
He comes to harm people, and he always asks his mother to run several kilometers for him in the middle of the night, and then gives him injections, and I don’t know how he feels so good about it." She cursed angrily and bitterly, but she kept pressing her hands.
Pack up things, such as large bottles of physiological saline, small bottles of glucose solution with only a few milliliters, and plastic syringes...
Chen Zishen's grandma is the only decent doctor in the village. She has been practicing medicine for more than 40 years. Basically all the doctor-related work in the village is done by his grandma. Chen Zishen was delivered by his grandma alone.
When she was young, her parents had a very good education and allowed her to read a lot of books. Therefore, when she married her grandfather (a consanguineous marriage, I won’t explain it further), she was actually the only woman in the village who could read.
At that time, the village had to select a woman to study at the health school in the county town. After completing her studies, she would work as a doctor in the village. His grandfather's family did not have any strength or background. He was just a simple and poor farmer. In the end, the village had no choice.
Others may have some background, but unfortunately they don't know a word. In the end, hard power has the final say, and Chen Zishen's grandma went to a medical school to study.
To be honest, Chen Zishen's grandma was really good in her time. She was a great intellectual, a household with low-income and eugenics, and a model worker... Even in Chen Zishen's mother's generation, there were not even one or two women in the village who went to the county to study.
Yes, Mother Chen doesn’t even know a few words...
"He wants to die but he doesn't say it. The key is that he is causing harm to the children at home. In such a cold weather, a child runs out like this without sleeping. Can he bear it? It's harming people! It's harming people! He wants to kill people!...
"His grandma continued to curse furiously.
His grandma is already sixty years old, but she may be a well-educated person who knows a little more than the rural women of that generation in all aspects, so she is still very healthy. The same goes for his grandpa, who is full of energy and healthy, like many rural women.
At this age, the old man already has white hair, rotten teeth, and a stooped back, but his grandparents showed no signs of this at all. This made Chen Zishen very relieved, because at least he had one less thing to worry about.
At that time, he was holding his grandma's hand. There was no fear at all before coming, and there was only warmth. His grandma's steps were quite nimble. Although she was still a little slow compared to Chen Zishen, Chen Zishen tried his best to lower his pace and adjust his rhythm, which was almost the same.
He could also drag his grandmother to his home.
Along the way, his grandma didn't stop and kept yelling. Chen Zishen was very quiet, and just kept reminding his grandma to be careful where she steps. The rural terrain was uneven and full of potholes, which would make it miserable if she sprained her feet.
If you want to know what happened next, please listen to the breakdown next time.
