Chapter 9 Walking at night
I told my dad that my mom hit me in the afternoon, and my butt hurts now. My dad smiled and said nothing.
Since I was a child, my dad didn't care much about me. All the educational problems were left to my mom. Every time I was beaten by my mom, my dad would just smile like this, and he never asked why my mom hit me.
At night, I kept thinking about the afternoon. The more I thought about it, the more I felt wronged. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my mother was wrong. As I thought about it, I fell asleep.
It was not until the second midnight that I was awakened by my uncle's snoring.
It has been more than a year since Lao Chaitou seized the evil spirit. Over the past year, my uncle and I have been sleeping on the same kang. My uncle usually has the habit of snoring, but I slept very hard and was awakened by my uncle's snoring. This is the first time.
When I woke up, I could no longer fall asleep.
At that time, the afternoon was still in my mind. As I thought about it, I remembered what happened when I was a child. At that time, every time I made a mistake, my mother would chase me and beat me to death, but when it was Liu Shangang's turn to be beaten, she would go to other people's house to plead.
Things like this are just not to think too much. If you think too much, you will easily get stubborn. I was stubborn at that time. I thought, I must not be my mother's biological child, otherwise how could she be so cruel every time she hit me?
This problem happened several times in my mind. Later, I thought, I was going to leave my mother's "claws" and I was going to run away from home!
While thinking about this, I endured the pain on my butt, gritted my teeth and climbed off the kang, and quietly left the house.
In my dad's words, I have been a child with very strong ability to move since I was a child. As long as I think of anything, I don't care about right or wrong, I just do it.
At this point, when I was a child, I was very similar to my dad, especially every time I did something without any end, no matter whether the result was good or not, I always feel regretful. This is exactly the same as my dad.
Walking on the small road in the village, I began to regret it. It was late at night, there was no one on the road, and there was no light in the village. The road was covered with moonlight, pale and pale, and it looked very scary. At this time, I remembered Liu Shangang's words again, what if I encountered a human trafficker, what if I was sold to beg for food?
I wanted to go home, but then I thought, I ran away from home and was scared back before I left the village entrance. Then I was laughed at by someone!
But after leaving the entrance of the village, where will I go?
Anyway, it’s better to go anywhere than go home now? If I missed one day and told Liu Shangang about what happened tonight, just his mouth would definitely let the whole school know about me. I don’t want to be laughed at.
I was hesitating, while walking on the village road with my head buried. When I was about to reach a stick at the north end of the village, someone suddenly called me behind me: "Don't go forward, stop!"
Judging from the voice, the person who called out should be a girl about the same age as me.
I subconsciously wanted to turn around, but when I turned halfway, I suddenly remembered that it was midnight, and whose little girl would appear on the village road at this time, not to mention that the sound was very strange and sounded floating, and it seemed very far away and very close. I had never heard such a sound before.
Lao Chaitou once said that if you hear someone calling behind your back on the road at night, don’t look back casually. If you meet an unjust ghost called the soul, this time you will be doomed.
At that time, I couldn't understand what "no revenge" means, but I also knew that this would not be a good word. With the sound coming from behind, it didn't seem like it was coming from the throats of a living person!
My body was half-sided, and I stood in my original place stiffly, cold sweat kept flowing down my back, making my vest soaked.
Through the afterglow, I saw a miserable green light slowly approaching me, getting closer and closer...
I was so scared that I didn't know what to do. At this moment, my little hand that had been green slowly reached towards me. When the little hand approached my right wrist, I suddenly felt a chill. My heart and liver were so scared that it trembled anxiously. I screamed "Oh--" and turned my head and ran away.
When I ran, I almost used all my strength. While I was running, I heard the voice behind me shouting to me: "Why are you running? Stop!"
This time, the sound behind it was much clearer, like the sound of a living person, but how could a living person shine green?
At that time, I decided that the thing behind me was definitely not a human being. I ran like crazy, thinking that as long as I left the village entrance, I would go to the urban-rural fringe area. There was also a police station nearby. If it really didn't work, I ran to the police station.
But I, a child, had a lot of physical strength, and I started to breathe after running for a while. I didn’t know whether the things behind me were following me, so I just kept running.
After running for a while, I was about to reach the entrance of the village, but I was already out of breath. The breath that came out of my throat was like fire, which made my throat dry and my legs and feet sore. Not to mention running, I had to use all my strength even when I took a step.
In the end, I couldn't hold on anymore, so I stopped and gasped with my hands on my knees. But I was still scared, so I turned sideways slightly and glanced behind me with the corner of my eyes. Fortunately, the green light disappeared and the thing didn't catch up.
This is how people are. After being extremely nervous, they will feel particularly tired. Now I am the same, my calves start to thrust violently without warning, and my butt, which was smashed by my mother in the afternoon, became even more painful. I felt uncomfortable, sleepy, and confused, and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, when I fell to the ground, I reached out to block it so that I would not fall too badly, but I just scratched my face a little bit.
I wanted to sit down, but my butt hurt so much that I was so tired that I could only squat on the ground, looking motionlessly at the entrance of the village. Outside the entrance of the village, a white street light was lit. The light was like a life-saving straw for me. Seeing it, my fear faded a little.
Now I don’t dare to go home, for fear that I might encounter something strange if I get too far from the lights. I remembered that Liu Shangang’s house lived not far from Wangzhuang, otherwise I would go to his house tonight.
It was not until my calves stopped thrusting that I stood up reluctantly and continued to walk towards the entrance of the village.
The closer I got to the street light, the more I felt that the light was so strange that it was so shaking that it couldn't open my eyes. But I didn't think much about it and just kept moving forward.
But as I walked, I felt something was wrong. The light obviously looked not too far from me, but I walked for a long time but didn't get close to it at all. I just felt that it kept getting brighter. And under the light, a gray shadow appeared faintly. The shadow was getting longer and longer by the light, and it was almost in front of my face.
At this time, I wanted to stop, but my legs and feet seemed to be out of control, walking forward step by step. The shadow had already covered my face, and I felt a little numb, and I felt like I was afraid, and I seemed to want to approach the lamp, so I couldn't say what it felt like.
At this time, I vaguely saw the lamppost floating towards me. With the lamppost, there was a man in black clothes. The shadow was reflected from him. He was tall and thin, with straight hands and feet. Although I couldn't see his appearance clearly, I could see his white eyes clearly and stared at me straight.
When I saw him, my first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief. I thought I had met Lao Chaitou, but for some reason, I felt that he didn't look like him. My head was dizzy at the time, and I couldn't say where I didn't look like him.
He came to me and smiled at me with a mouthful of snow-white teeth. At that time, I thought, when did Lao Chaitou's teeth become so white? I had seen him laugh. Not only did he say that his teeth had been yellowed by dry smoke, but there was still half a piece of the front teeth on the left.
By the way, why are there only whites in Lao Chaitou's eyes? I remember that Lao Chaitou's pupils were particularly black and bright.
But even though I felt something was wrong, I still recognized the person in front of me as Lao Chaitou, and always felt that as long as I met him, I would be safe.
At this time, "Old Chaitou" spoke: "Where is Lao Wang's family?"
His voice was thick and light, just like the sound made when he pulled the bellows.
"Old Wang family? At least half of the people in Wangzhuang are surnamed Wang. How do I know which old Wang you are asking?" I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say anything on my mouth. I stretched out my hand and pointed to the southwest.
"Old Chaitou" showed a mouthful of white teeth, and his throat made a vague sound like a broken bellows in his throat: "Lead the way!"
As he said, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward my finger. His fingers were very cold and hard, and tied my wrist like five iron bars. I could clearly feel the pain, but I didn't think about breaking free, so I took him forward.
I don’t know what happened to me. It was clearly in the summer, but I felt very cold, my hands and feet were frozen cold. As I walked further and further, my consciousness became blurry. I just vaguely felt that I had come to a very old iron gate. There was a wooden sign hanging on the iron gate. The wooden sign was also very old, but I could vaguely see three words on it. I don’t recognize the first word, but I only knew that the second two words were: Yizhuang.
"Old Chaitou" pushed open the iron door with a light push. Just as he was about to pull me into it, he heard someone shouting behind him: "Don't go in with him, you can't get out if you go in!"
