My scalp felt numb, and Yaya was so frightened that she was about to cry. I quickly covered her mouth. The other friends were also stunned, and one even peed his pants.
Time passed by, and the big horse monkey looked at us children like this. Because there were always accidents a while ago, the adults told us not to make a sound or move if we encounter a big horse monkey. .
First, it is easy to irritate it by making noises, and no one can get past it if it moves or runs away.
"Crackling... crackling..."
In the midst of high mental stress, the sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out in Uncle Neng's yard. It was two thousand red firecrackers. It lasted for a full two minutes. It frightened a few of us and almost jumped out. The big horse monkey was also startled and ducked back quickly. Mountain jump.
I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but I always feel that the last glance of the big monkey was looking at Yaya in my arms.
Seeing that the big horse monkey was gone, a few of us let out a sigh of relief, and then, not knowing who was taking the lead, each of us finally dared to cry.
"Stop howling! Go back to your homes quickly!"
I reacted first and ran to the village chief's house with Yaya in my arms, while the remaining children ran home as if they were running for their lives.
"Second uncle! Second aunt!!"
As soon as I entered the yard, I shouted loudly to the village chief and his wife. The village chief's wife was making dumplings. When she heard me yelling, she clapped her hands and came out to greet me.
"What's the matter? Seven pounds? What happened?"
"Second aunt! We encountered a big horse monkey!!"
I shoved Yaya into her hand and ran home without caring what the village chief's wife called me from behind.
My grandma saw that when I entered the room, her face was red from holding back, and she was gasping for breath and speechless. She was so frightened that she quickly called my father to come and see me.
I picked up the water glass and was about to drink water. When my father came over and saw me like this, he quickly grabbed the water glass.
"Silly boy, why are you running? Aren't you afraid of exploding your lungs if you drink water after running?"
"Master... we... just saw... saw... the big horse monkey!"
"What!!"
My father was shocked. He didn't expect Mahou to recover so quickly.
"No! That girl A Ling from the Hongbo family is only thirty years old. Ma Houhou came out today to seek revenge from the village chief!"
My father didn't dare to delay, so he rushed to the village chief's house wearing a cotton-padded jacket. Fortunately, Mr. Li San had laid a trap at the village chief's house before, so my father wanted to go and warn him!
It's just that he guessed wrong. Ma Hou did come back again, but he didn't go to the village chief's house.
"Milk! What sound are you hearing?"
I was watching the party when I suddenly heard a slight shout outside and quickly turned down the sound on the black and white TV.
"Silence, you kid, you keep talking all day long..."
My grandma's face suddenly turned pale before she finished speaking. She also heard it. It was like a war in the old Zhao family next door. There was a clanging sound in the house, and the sound became louder and louder.
"Something's wrong!"
My grandma pulled me over from the window, drew the curtains tightly, and turned off the TV and lights.
All sounds became clear in the darkness!
I seemed to hear the creepy chewing and crunching sounds. The sound was so terrifying that it made people feel hairy. I also seemed to hear Uncle Zhao’s increasingly low-pitched yelling.
I hugged my mother tightly and huddled on the kang. From time to time I glanced at the two red lanterns on the door. I always felt like a pair of scarlet eyes staring at me.
Soon the sound of firecrackers started to sound in the village. My father hadn't come back yet, and my grandma and I didn't dare to go to the ground. This was the first time that I felt that the sound of firecrackers was so sweet.
The firecrackers continued to sound for twenty minutes, and the village became quiet again. I raised my ears and listened carefully, and there was no sound from the next door.
"Clang!"
There was a sound of a big basin falling to the ground outside the door. I hugged my breast tightly and kept shaking, but then I heard the sound of the door opening.
"What are you two doing, just hanging out during the Chinese New Year?"
"You old bastard, you're scaring me to death!" The person who came was none other than my father.
"Hey, I've informed Hong Bo and his wife, but I don't know if I can spend tonight safely!"
"I don't know what's going on with the Hongbo family. Something has happened to the old Zhao family!"
My grandma still didn't dare to speak loudly, but what she said shocked my father.
"What? What did you hear?"
"The commotion started in that courtyard when you left, but now it's silent!"
"I'll go take a look!" My grandfather said and was about to go out again!
"Come back! Who knows what's going on in his courtyard? If you go there, let the monkeys eat it! Go back tomorrow!"
My grandma stopped my father, and I also pulled his sleeves to prevent him from going out.
"It's not necessarily what happened. Maybe my family is fighting. It stands to reason that his old Zhao family also has a trap. I didn't hear any sound of being caught in the trap!"
Seeing that my father was frowning, my grandma tried her best to say good things, but even I knew that nine times out of ten it was a horse or a monkey!
"This thing is really weird! When Aling picked it up, it was understandable that it would take revenge. But if it didn't go to Hong Bo's house, why would it be staring at Old Zhao's house?"
My father is full of doubts, but he doesn’t dare to go and take a look. Anyway, it’s the first day of the Lunar New Year tomorrow, so we can go and take a look together when there are more people coming to pay New Year’s greetings.
We have no intention of eating dumplings this year. My grandma didn’t even ask my father to go out to meet the gods. In short, this year will definitely be a mess.
