The thin man went to the market that day. When he came back, it was getting late and the sun was slowly setting in the west. I originally wanted to take a boat, but for some unknown reason, when I arrived at the Luzhen Pier, I saw that there was a big boat. When I walked to the pier, for some reason, it seemed to fly and disappeared immediately.
The thin man was in poor health and fell ill. Otherwise, he would not have come to Luzhen. At this time, he was returning with a large bag of medicine in his hand. He could no longer walk. Although he walked from Luzhen Hospital to On the pier, it was not far away, but he had already used up almost all his strength. At this time, night fell, dusk came, and a red sun set in the west. From time to time, the sky changed drastically, and it seemed that it was going to rain. However, the rain did not fall after all, and a fluffy moon hung in the sky. The atmosphere in Lu Zhen suddenly became so strange.
By the river, an old dog kept barking at the water. However, there were no boats or people swimming on the river. All that was there was just waves shaking each other. , crackling sound, maybe the waves aroused the barking of the old dog. Otherwise, why would he stay by the small river and bark at the air? There is nothing on the empty river surface. A waning moon hangs slantingly, passing through the clouds, making the moonlight not very bright and hazy. Even the old dog cannot see clearly if you don't pay attention.
The thin man was sitting by the river, facing the fluffy moon. At this time, for some reason, he wanted to go home very much, but he couldn't walk. And his woman, because she was far away, wanted to lean on her for a moment. It seemed impossible to her. You can only rely on yourself, but you don't have the strength to stand up. Otherwise, your mind will be unclear, your vision will be blurry, and you will even mistakenly see a stone next to you as a person standing there. .
I originally wanted to leave, but I was unwilling to do so. I had clearly agreed with the boss of the ship that I would wait for him. How could he break his promise and leave alone at this time? The thin man was unwilling to do so. He had to sit on the pier. Otherwise, he could walk back on two legs. That would be okay. When he got home, would he still have anyone?
Of course, if you are not sick, although you will be thinner, it is not a problem, but it is not possible at this time. I can't walk anyway, so I can only sit on the pier like this, wait a little longer, maybe not long after, Maybe the big ship is coming. Moreover, with this old dog accompanying him, he is not too afraid. If any gangsters want to steal his property, with this old dog, he can at least be emboldened and not be scared.
However, when I looked at the old dog again, I didn't know why I couldn't see it anymore. I had clearly seen it before my eyes just now. How could I not see it all of a sudden? The thin man stood up now. Because he was not accompanied by the old dog, he was a little scared for a moment. It was really not a problem to sit down like this again.
At this moment, a ferry appeared on the river, but no one was seen on the ferry. The ferry came slowly and slowly, and not long after, it docked in front of the thin man. If you want to go back, you have to cross the river. Otherwise, you have to swim on your own. But the thin man is suffering from a cold and is afraid of the cold. At this time, the night is getting darker and the river water is a bit cold. Otherwise, it will be as hot as this June day. At that time, this was no longer a problem.
On the surface of the river, a strong wind blew, and the waves beat on both sides of the river, hitting the rocks, and the water splashed on people's bodies. It was a bit uncomfortable anyway, not to mention that the thin man was still sick. Looking at the sky, the furry moon was still hanging in the sky, but at this moment, the fury moon seemed to have changed color for a moment, and turned out to be a little red. As for why it was red, the thin man didn't quite understand. It is not convenient to pay too much attention, so I was ready to board the ferry, but before I jumped on the ferry, I had to take a careful look at the ferry. In the past, the ferry was definitely not empty, there was at least one person, otherwise, the money would be collected. How to collect it?
Facing this ferry, the thin man hesitated to get on it, because this matter was a bit unbelievable anyway. Why was the kind old man who sailed the ferry in the past not on the ferry today? The thin man did not dare to cross the ferry because it was unsafe and unstable to sit on, and even if he did, he might get into an accident.
At this time, the thin man saw the old dog barking again, barking at the ferry. It seemed that there was someone on the ferry. Otherwise, the old dog would not bark so hard. For a while, the old dog seemed to be afraid. He lowered his head, barked quietly, and left the dock without barking. After a while, the old dog disappeared into the depths of the night, unknown to where he went. The thin man came to the ferry and looked at it. Uncle Wang usually stayed on the ferry. Why wasn't he here today? Seeing that Uncle Wang was not there, he couldn't get on the boat at the moment, so he had to prepare to swim across, but he was there. At this time, with the howling of the wind, the river rolled up huge waves. It was probably impossible to swim through it at this time.
The thin man jumped on the ferry. Since there was no one around, he had to rely on himself. But as soon as he got on the ferry, he heard someone laughing. As for who made the laugh, was it Uncle Wang's or Uncle Wang's? Other people's words were incomprehensible because the wind was so strong that the sky and the earth were so vast. But there is no need to worry about these. The main thing is to go back quickly. Otherwise, the thin man knows that there are many people in the deserted village who covet his women, so he does not go back now. After one night, tomorrow, his own A woman may no longer be her own woman.
It's strange to say that as soon as we got on the ferry, the boat started to move by itself. As soon as it started, the motor on the ferry started. The clicking sound sounded a bit weird at this time, because the motor Although it rang, there was no one at all. Moreover, the sound of the motor sounded a bit unbearable for some reason at this time. It seemed to be coming from a distant place, but there was no need to worry about it. It was only right to cross the river and go home to talk to my woman. Don't worry too much about other things.
The thin man was sitting on the ferry, and on the river, with the roar of the strong wind, the waves rolled up into the sky and slapped the side of the boat in waves, almost causing the water to splash on the thin man. But fortunately, the big boat was okay and kept sailing to the other side. Soon after, it arrived at the other side. According to the rules of the past, people who took the boat had to pay anyway, and they couldn't miss the ferry money. Otherwise, If this word spreads, people will laugh.
The thin man originally wanted to pay, but when he looked at the ferry, he found that there was no one on it at all. How could he pay at this time? The thin man was originally a cheap man, so when he saw no one was around, he didn't pay the money, jumped directly onto the shore, spat, and passed away like the wind.
There was a crescent moon hanging in the sky. It was with this crescent moon that the thin man could barely see the road clearly. Otherwise, he might have fallen into some potholes or even fallen directly off the cliff. . As I kept walking forward, I heard someone singing a funeral song. The bursts of singing made the night a little strange. This place may be old, otherwise, I would never hear this singing at this time.
The thin man was physically ill and could not walk very far. Now he gradually walked further away. For a while, he could no longer hear the singing. However, for some reason, he became a little scared because he was alone. This place is a bit scary anyway. It would be nice if I could still hear the funeral songs.
After walking for a while, I felt a little tired and couldn't go any further because my legs were so weak that I couldn't even walk. So I sat on a rock to rest. Otherwise, I might have died immediately. At this time, I was sitting among a mass of graves. If I wanted to go to a deserted village, I had to pass through this mass of graves no matter what. Otherwise, I would not be able to reach the deserted village.
The thin man looked at the moon. It was still a hairy moon, but at this moment, a cold wind blew from nowhere. Wherever the wind passed, the thin man couldn't help but cough. Moreover, under the faint moonlight, he even kept coughing up blood and vomited it on the ground. It looked bright red.
At this time, I looked at the deserted village. It was still a bit far away and could not be seen at a glance. It was estimated that there were still hundreds of miles. If we walked like this, I don't know what year or month we would be able to reach the deserted village. After taking a short rest, I didn't dare to stay, because my vomiting of blood must be related to this place, and I'm afraid it wouldn't be a problem if I stayed any longer.
Suddenly, the thin man started running forward, but at this moment, he heard someone from behind shouting, "Wait!" As for who the voice belonged to, it was unknown at this time. It looked like Uncle Wang, but Uncle Wang's family lives some distance away from here, so it's impossible for him to appear here. What's more, it's midnight, so why do you shout "wait until"?
The thin man did not dare to stop. Otherwise, this place was unclean and it would be inappropriate to stay like this. But then I heard someone shouting "Wait a minute", and I wanted to sit down. Wait a minute. They may be people walking at night like me. Maybe they are not brave enough and are a little scared. Otherwise, why would they call me What about "wait until"?
The thin man sat down, rolled up a bag of grass cigarettes, and started smoking. While smoking, he waited for the person who called him. However, after so long, the bag of grass cigarettes was almost finished, and the person who shouted "Wait until "The person hasn't appeared yet. Did I hear it wrong?" The thin man didn't wait any longer, because the road was still long. If he didn't walk quickly, he might not be able to reach his home in a short time.
