Chapter 2

I looked up and saw a blackbird like a crow standing on a branch. Although it rained heavily, its feathers were not wet at all. They were black and bright. It has a human face, as big as a baby's small hand, its face is purple and black, its eyes are blood red, and two ground covered sharp teeth are sticking out from the corners of its lips with a cold smile. It looks special ghost doctor and special terror. It suddenly gets hot in its crotch and sprinkles hot urine!

Then he screamed and ran to the depths of the forest. The ground was bumpy, muddy and slippery, and I didn't know how many falls I fell. But he fell and got up again, biting his teeth and running forward desperately. At that time, there was only one thought in my young heart. I wanted to go home, and grandma was still waiting for me!

But the direction was completely reversed. The more frightened he was, he ran up the mountain and gradually away from the road back to the village.

I don't know how far I ran. I know it's right behind me. The cold air irons my spine like ice. I can't help shivering all over my body. Clench your teeth, cover your face with the fertilizer bag, and think you can't see me, you can't see me!

The eyes couldn't see the way, so the unlucky thing happened. Running, suddenly the feet were empty and fell into the water.

There are no streams and rivers in our poor mountains and evil mountains. There is only a big water bubble that doesn't dry all year round. I used to see it when I played secretly in the woods, but now I'm flustered and blindfolded. I don't remember. This water bubble has many mysterious legends in the local area. It is not a soil pit, and there is no living water source. The water in the pit does not dry for many years, and maintains a horizontal line all year round. It will not rise in rain or fall in drought.

Many people say they have met ghosts here and drowned several children. No one in the village allowed the children to play in the woods, let alone close to the water bubble. Of course, grandma told me, but when I came out to play on rainy days, only the woods were the only place that would not be found or heard, so I came here every time, but I never approached the water bubble.

This time I fell into the water. My first reaction was that I fell into the water bubble. I was flustered because I couldn't swim. I even drank a few mouthfuls of smelly sewage. Choked by the smelly water, I almost didn't suffocate. My hands and feet fluttered in the water. The more water I poured into my stomach, the more I felt my lungs were suffocating and exploding.

At this time, the suffocation was relieved and it was not so uncomfortable. Just in my head, I can't tell what it feels like, and I don't know whether I'm dead or alive. There seems to be a cold thing in my hand. It's not very big, but it seems to be transmitting oxygen to me so that I can survive in the smelly water.

Slowly open your eyes and find that there is no water in front of you, only endless darkness. It's like being in a dark and desolate world. I can't feel the pain of suffocation or fear. My heart is surprisingly calm.

Then, an old and broken door opened slowly in front of me, just like a dream, and I could see it clearly in the dark. A middle-aged man with green face and bulging eyes gradually appeared in sight when the door opened. He stretched out a bony palm. That means I actually understand that he came to pull me.

I did not hesitate to stretch out my hand and was held by him. Just as he was pulling me in a little, he saw that he was about to enter the door. Suddenly, something knocked on the back of his head, and he immediately opened his eyes in pain.

The first thing I saw was grandma's kind face full of wrinkles. Then I turned around and found me lying in the arms of a strange old man. He held a yellow paper in his left hand and pressed my forehead. His right hand couldn't help beating the back of the head. Knowing that I was saved, I was relieved, closed my eyes and fell asleep. Although I had several similar nightmares in succession, all of which were the middle-aged man staring at me bitterly at the gate, three days later, I woke up unharmed.

When I woke up this time, I found that I was not at home. My grandmother told me that it was in Tiantai village next door, at the home of a friend of Grandpa's that year. Since then, we have never returned to our village Shiyan village, because on the rainy day, a child similar to my age died in the village. It is said that he died miserably, leaving only one head and the whole body below his neck. Everyone said it was me who caused the trouble. When I ran into Taisui, not only a child died, but also a lot of animals were lost.

Grandma was scolded by them and couldn't lift her head, so she took me to Grandpa's friend Liu Kui. He was the old man who woke up that day. I asked my grandmother how she saved me from the water bubble. What happened to the door and the middle-aged man I saw?

She only told me that when she found out I wasn't at home that day, she knew she had gone to the woods again. But she felt as if she would be in great danger. So I ran to the woods in the back mountain and saw that I sank under the big water bubble and tried to drill into the mud. Fortunately, I was pulled out in time, otherwise I would die. But after she took me home, she always slept soundly and straightened her arm as if she was being pulled. She was afraid and ran to Tiantai village in the rain to invite grandpa Liu Kui, which was the only way to pull me back from the gate of hell.

As for the door and the middle-aged man, grandma never mentioned it. No matter what I asked, she wouldn't say. I asked what the terrible face blackbird was. Grandma stared and said, "what blackbird? You are dazzled. How can birds fly around in the rain? " I was very unconvinced at that time. When I saw it, how could I look at the eyes?

But I know grandma's temper best. Sometimes she is stubborn and can't pull the three cows. She will never tell me what she doesn't want to say. She can only keep this question in her heart.

From then on, he lived in Liu Kui's house and gradually learned that he was a witch doctor like his grandfather. He was warm and kind-hearted and had excellent popularity in Tiantai village. It's just that he didn't marry a wife all his life and raised a girl my age. The girl named Xiao Ling didn't like to talk much since she was a child. She was a little lonely and never saw her smile. That's good. One of the two little guys can't cry, the other can't laugh, and they are stubborn. They can't play together at all.

However, since his grandmother lived here, Liu Kui's life has been much easier. Someone helped him cook and wash clothes, and the little girl has been taken care of. The old man is very happy. He is also very close to me. Sometimes he feels that he treats me better than that little girl.

In the twinkling of an eye, a year later, it was another stormy day. Grandpa Liu Kui went out to help people see a doctor, and grandma cooked in the kitchen. I didn't dare to sneak out to play anymore. I sat at the door and watched the rain in a daze. Unexpectedly, Xiaoling walked behind me and stabbed me on the back. I was so scared that I turned around and found that the little girl stared at me with cold eyes as usual.

Over the past year, not only can't I play with her, but the relationship is getting worse and worse. It's almost the same as fire and water. Whoever sees each other will stare at each other first. Today, she even started to provoke me. I snorted and ignored her. Good men don't fight with women, and good dogs don't fight with chickens.

"You've been holding something in your hand for three days in a coma, you know?" Xiao Ling said coldly.

I was stunned. I was in a coma for three days. Was that last year? I raised my head in surprise and asked her what she meant. The little girl suddenly stretched out her right hand and spread out her transparent little hand, revealing an old and black bone!

"What is this?" I asked, scratching my head.

"This is the finger bone of a man's hand!"
