Chapter 3

At that time, the little girl said that it was a human hand and phalange, and I didn't recognize it. Many years later, I felt strange when I thought of it. Why would she know it was a hand bone when she was young? There will never be an answer to this matter, because she disappeared after that day. She had no news for more than ten years and had never seen her again.

I met her very strange eyes that day and took the "finger bone" with dubious confidence. Just holding it on my right hand, suddenly a cold chill penetrated from the palm of my hand, which made me feel very familiar. Yes, it was this feeling in the water bubble last year. Suddenly, fear rose in my heart and raised my hand to throw away the bone. At this time, the cold cold poured into my mind. Two open ancient doors and the middle-aged man with dull eyes appeared strangely in front of me again!

He still held out his hand. I knew it was calling me over, so I got up and went to the yard.

A dull thunder woke me up. The two gates and the man disappeared. I couldn't help but excite my soul. If it weren't for the thunder, I would run to the water bubble to die. When a carefully dirty one was fluttering violently, Grandpa Liu Kui came back. I was afraid he found himself holding a finger bone and wanted to hide, but I couldn't find a suitable place in the yard. In a panic, I opened my mouth and swallowed the bone.

"What are you doing in the yard? Don't get wet. Go back to the house quickly. Grandpa bought running meat today. You two little guys have some good luck. " Grandpa Liu Kui smiled, took my hand and went back to the house.

The hare here is commonly known as running meat. In the era of material poverty, only running meat in the mountains is what makes people greedy. I was in a panic. I didn't know if I would die after swallowing the bones. I didn't hear what he was saying at all. Xiao Ling stared at me coldly, turned and ran into the inner room.

The lunch was tasteless and tasteless. Running meat and chewing it in your mouth was like chewing mud.

In the evening, the rain was still continuing. My grandmother and I had just lay down to sleep. At this time, I heard grandpa Liu Kui angry outside and asking Xiaoling what to do. Grandpa Liu Kui usually has a good temper. I've never seen him get angry in the past year. My heart says it must be for the finger bones? Grandma got up, put on her clothes and went out. I hid behind the door and looked out.

"Don't you say it yet? Only you know where to put that thing. If you don't say I'll kill you! " Liu Kui glared at Xiao Ling and scolded. This fierce state made me feel scared.

The little girl just stared at Grandpa coldly and didn't say a word. My heart said you speak quickly, and then I can go out and tell Grandpa that I swallowed my finger bones.

Liu Kui saw that the little girl was so stubborn. He couldn't help waving and slapping her. In fact, I saw that he regretted after playing, and his face flashed a look of heartache. At this time, grandma came to persuade her not to hit the child. What do you say? The child is still young. Don't scare her.

Xiaoling took the opportunity to cover her face and rushed out of the door. Grandma chased the door, but it was raining too hard outside. While looking for her raincoat, she complained to Liu Kui: "look at you, what can't be said well? It's going to scare the child out. You'll regret it." Grandma put on her raincoat and was going out.

Liu Kui patted the table and said, "don't look for her. She can't die!"

Grandma shook her head reluctantly and went out. And I shrank behind the inner door and didn't even dare to fart. The matter was so big that at that time, because he was too young, he was afraid to say it and would be slapped. Grandpa Liu Kui sighed and sighed outside at first, but after a while, he couldn't hold his breath when he saw that grandma and Xiaoling didn't come back. He couldn't help walking to the door and looking out.

After about ten minutes, grandma ran back and said, "I can't find Xiaoling anywhere. It's gone in a while. Go out and let's find it separately."

Liu Kui was no longer half angry. He had only one raincoat at home. He couldn't even look for the fertilizer bag, so he rushed out of the door with his grandmother. After they left, I dared to come out, squatted at the door and looked at the pouring rain outside. Suddenly, I was worried about Xiaoling. Although we are like cockfighting eyes, no one can accommodate anyone, after all, we have lived together for a year. Even cats and dogs will have some feelings.

At that time, there was no electricity in the mountain village, and kerosene lamps were generally used for lighting. When I was squatting at the door and waiting anxiously, the kerosene lamps strangely went out, and I suddenly fell into darkness. The loud rain and the dead silence in the house blend together to form an invisible pressure, which makes me out of breath.

Suddenly, there was a cool breath in my stomach. It seemed to turn into a small ice cave in an instant. It was very uncomfortable. With a confused mind, two ancient gates and the middle-aged man appeared again. I couldn't help but walk out of the house and step by step outside the village in the heavy rain. I don't know how long I've been walking. It seems that a strange and familiar voice comes out of my heart: "you're finally back!"

I felt very calm in my heart. It was like returning to my own home. I clearly noticed that the two old doors behind me were slowly closed. The middle-aged man disappeared strangely. Then he saw him walking in the rain, came to the water bubble in the woods, plunged into it and died.

It was strange. How could I know he was dead? Didn't he just stand in the door waiting for me? Is it to see me and commit suicide? A series of questions arise in my heart. Where can I find the answer? When he was puzzled, he suddenly popped his head out of the water bubble and grinned with me. His pale and terrible face made me scream and cover my eyes.

At this moment in my mind, like lighting fireworks, electric sparks ran everywhere. In the panic, I vaguely realized that those were actually words and what words they were. I didn't know them at all, because I hadn't started school and couldn't even write my own name.

This frightened me. I covered my head and rolled all over the ground. I wish I could die quickly and stop suffering like this. I don't know how long it took, the fireworks in my head slowly subsided, and my eyes gradually changed from darkness to stars. I was wondering if I had died this time, but I heard grandma crying.

"Old man, you're right. Xiao Fang can't escape after all. You are cruel to leave us alone. What should I do... Wuwu... "Grandma's cry looks very desolate in the dark night.

I trembled in my heart, hurriedly raised my head and found myself lying in grandma's arms. She was crying like a tearful person. At the moment, I don't know where it is, like on a mountain. At the moment, the sky is full of stars. I don't know when the rain stops.

"Grandma, don't cry. Grandpa and Dad don't care about us. Xiaoyu will take care of you."

Grandma hugged me and cried even more. I saw her cry for the first time. She cried so sad for the first time.

I didn't know at that time. I was in a coma for seven days and seven nights this time. On the rainy night, Xiaoling didn't find it. Grandpa Liu Kui slipped and fell off the cliff. Tiantai village is only a mile away from Shiyan village. They have long known that I am an unlucky person. The misfortunes of Grandpa Liu Kui's family are all on my head. Grandma has no face to stay in Tiantai village again. She sleeps in the mountains with me unconscious on her back.
