Hadron did this again and again, and I got a little angry.
I saw that something was not right with you today, so I asked you kindly, but you gave me a confused answer!
Then I stopped paying attention to Hadron and started walking on my own.
Hadron followed me closely, still the same as at the beginning. If I walked faster, he would walk faster. If I walked slower, he would slowly slow down.
Because I was still angry with Qiangzi for what happened just now, I walked faster and faster in the end, just to throw Qiangzi behind me so that he could not keep up with my pace.
But I slowly discovered that all my efforts were in vain. No matter how fast I walked, Hadron could always keep up with me.
So I had no choice but to give up this plan.
With a rather strange mood, we finally returned to Zhaojiacun.
"We have arrived at Zhaojiacun now, Qiangzi, you..." I turned around and looked behind me as I spoke.
But when I turned around completely, I found that Hadron, who had been following me, had already gone to nowhere.
"This hadron always appears and disappears. What the hell is he doing!" I muttered dissatisfiedly.
Then I walked home, and before I entered the house, I saw that my house was completely dark. It seemed that my grandpa was either asleep or not at home.
I took out the key from my pocket, opened the door, slowed down my steps, and tiptoed inside.
"Pa..." Along with a crisp sound, the lights in the room suddenly turned on.
My eyes were dazzled by the sudden light, and then I looked forward and saw a little boy standing next to the table.
"Huang Xuan, were you the one who turned on the light just now? It shocked me!" The little boy standing next to the table and talking was Huang Xuan, the little boy brought back by his grandfather who was born to be a child.
"I was thirsty, so I came out to drink water." Huang Xuan said lightly.
His eyes are very bright, like two inlaid pearls.
And although the tone of his words was calm, there was some inexplicable meaning in it.
"Where's grandpa?" I asked casually.
"He's already asleep."
"Oh!" I nodded.
Then I poured a glass of water and drank it, but while I was drinking the water, I glanced at Huang Xuan looking at me intently from the corner of my eye.
I feel very uncomfortable being stared at like this all the time.
Finally I couldn't help it anymore and put down the cup. "Why do you keep staring at me?"
The corners of Huang Xuan's mouth raised slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, "Did you encounter a ghost tonight?"
I curled my lips, Huang Xuan is really good at talking nonsense. Although I am a ghost hunter, I can't encounter ghosts every day!
"You kid, don't talk nonsense!"
Apart from the hadrons, I didn't meet any ghosts tonight.
By the way, if it really comes down to it, I did meet a ghost. Isn’t that kid Yang Leyang a ghost?
"Did you encounter a ghost tonight?" Huang Xuan continued.
Let me go, what happened today?
The Qiangzi I met on the way back was like a mute. No matter what I asked him, he remained silent.
Now after I answered the question, I encountered another repeater who could only say this sentence.
I glanced at Huang Xuan, and then I was too lazy to pay attention to this brat.
"I'm going to bed, you should go to bed early!" After saying this, I walked to my room.
After lying on the bed, I quickly fell into a dream.
And I also had a strange dream.
In the dream, Qiangzi and I were walking on the same road. I was walking in front and Qiangzi was following me.
We kept pace, and every once in a while I would turn back and ask Hadron, "Where are we now?"
But Qiangzi always had a strange smile on his face, but he never answered my questions.
And every time I go back and ask about hadrons, I find that hadrons are further away from me.
After asking several times, there is already a long distance between me and Hadron.
I really have something to think about every day and dream about every night!
I just walked back to Zhaojiacun with Qiangzi in the evening. It seemed that I was dreaming about Qiangzi.
I didn't wake up by myself in the morning, but was woken up by the noisy suona and firecrackers outside.
In rural areas, suona is often like the black and white that enchants the soul. When the suona sounds, it means that someone has passed away.
I quickly got dressed and got out of bed.
After washing up and waiting for the living room, grandpa and Huang Xuan were already sitting at the dining table eating.
"Dongfang, come over and eat quickly!" Grandpa shouted to me.
I nodded and walked to the dining table.
When he saw me again after a few days, my grandfather didn't seem too surprised.
They didn’t even immediately ask me where I had been these past few days and what happened?
"You haven't been at home these days. Where have you been?" Grandpa asked me after taking a sip of porridge.
I smiled, thinking that grandpa didn't say anything, but in fact he still cared about me in his heart.
So I told Grandpa roughly what happened in Panjiagou.
After hearing this, Grandpa let out a long breath, "These Japanese are really evil-minded. They were defeated at the beginning, but they are still deliberately lurking in our land of China. Dongfang, you did a good job this time. You must not be lenient when dealing with these idiots."
While my grandfather and I were talking, Huang Xuan beside him had been eating quietly without saying a word. He occasionally raised his head to look at my grandfather and me.
"By the way, I heard the sound of suona outside. Is there another death in my village?" I asked.
Nowadays, most of the young and middle-aged labor force in rural areas have gone to work in the cities, and those who remain in the countryside are basically lonely elderly people.
People tend to get sick easily as they get older. They close their eyes at some point and never wake up again.
Grandpa nodded, "Yes, you just came back, so you don't know yet. The strong man in our village died. What a good young man, he died before he got married!"
I originally just asked casually, but when I heard Qiangzi's name, I was stunned. I just came back with Qiangzi last night, and he died in just one night?
"How did he die?" I asked.
"I don't know." Grandpa shook his head. "After Qiangzi died, Qiangzi's parents were very sad, so I didn't ask in detail."
"Then when did he die?" I don't know why, but I suddenly realized that I was a little nervous, and my hands and feet started shaking unconsciously.
"Probably yesterday afternoon!" Grandpa thought for a moment and then said.
