I remember it was about one o'clock in the middle of the night. I heard some movement and woke up.
There was a sound similar to footsteps on the roof.
The sound was not loud. After I woke up and stared at the roof for two minutes, I suddenly heard "Meow! Meow! Roar!"
I breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a few wild cats fighting on the roof.
The room was dark, so I lay down and continued to sleep with my head covered.
"Da da da...."
"Yunfeng, are you asleep?"
"Xiaoxuan? What's wrong?" I sat up and asked.
Xiaoxuan outside the door said: "I want to go to the toilet, can you go with me?"
There is actually a toilet in the courtyard, but it is very dirty. No one has cleaned it before. There is rotten toilet paper everywhere. In summer, there are big white maggots running around. There are probably more than a thousand of them.
So we don't go to the toilet there, we all go to the toilet to the north of the door, which is relatively clean.
"Okay, I'll take the flashlight and go with you."
When I opened the door and came out, Xiaoxuan was waiting for me in her pajamas, her hair a little messy.
"Let's go."
After arriving at the place, Xiaoxuan went there with a flashlight. I stood guard at the door and watched for her.
Time passed by minute by minute.
"Xiaoxuan?"
"Xiaoxuan? What took you so long?"
Xiaoxuan replied to me in the toilet: "I have something to do. I'm waiting."
After waiting for several more minutes, Xiaoxuan lowered her head and came out.
"Can I sleep in your room?"
"What's wrong?"
Xiaoxuan said: "Actually, I fell asleep just now and woke up again and had a very scary dream."
"What dream?"
She said: "I dreamed about the dead man, carrying a bamboo basket on his back and a sack on his head, walking back and forth in the yard."
I comforted her: "It's okay. I used to have nightmares a lot. It was all caused by excessive stress. I think about it every day and dream about it at night. If you don't think about it during the day, you won't dream about it at night."
Xiaoxuan went back to the house with me. The bed was relatively small and it was very crowded for two people to sleep in. I let her sleep on the bed while I made the floor.
As a result, she didn't sleep well, ran out of bed and made the floor with me.
She was wearing thin pajamas, a one-piece type, and I was wearing big pants, with my upper body shirtless.
When I fell asleep, Xiaoxuan put her legs on my stomach.
They were all wearing very little, and I was about twenty years old, a young man in full bloom. This was a test of my determination. I am a normal person, not a eunuch, and I am not as wishy-washy as Xie Qirong.
However, I was a little scared, and I didn’t even know what I was afraid of.
The atmosphere was initially somewhat ambiguous.
Sudden!
Xiaoxuan exclaimed: "There is something! There is something running on the ground! Yunfeng! There is something running on the ground!"
"What!"
"what!"
I quickly got up and turned on the light, and violently lifted the quilt on the floor.
Then I saw a very long centipede rolled up in the quilt!
The centipede is red!
I am Cao!
Not to mention Xiaoxuan, I was shocked when I saw it.
He stepped on it hard and crushed the big centipede to pieces.
In summer, many homes in rural areas will encounter such things, centipedes, scorpions, and bugs with legs all over their legs. In our local dialect, they are called "just stupid."
This is nothing. I'm thinking of buying a bottle of dichlorvos tomorrow, mixing it with water, and using a watering can to hit every corner of the house.
Xiaoxuan is a girl and she is more afraid of centipedes. We turned off the lights and continued to rest.
suddenly...
As soon as I lay down, I saw a small shadow jumping around on the window.
It has a head and limbs, no matter how you look at it...it looks a bit like the cloth dolls we burned during the day!
I thought I was seeing it, so I pinched myself hard.
Rubbing his eyes, looking.
The shadow was still moving, with its hands raised, jumping and moving, as if it wanted to come in.
I swallowed, my eyes were frightened, and my face turned pale.
Xiaoxuan turned her head and fell asleep. She didn't see it, so I didn't dare to tell her.
Boom, boom, boom!
Not long after, footsteps were heard on the roof again!
This time it was loud! It's like there's someone running on the roof.
Xiaoxuan was awakened. She turned around and saw the shadow of the puppet on the window. Her face turned pale and she wanted to scream.
"Shh..."
I covered her mouth and whispered: "Don't make any sound..."
I looked up and listened carefully.
The noise on the roof became louder and louder, and I seemed to hear Brother Yu’s voice!
"damn it!"
"Yunfeng! Come out quickly!"
I ran out and took a look. On the roof, I was shirtless, with an angry look on my face, and was holding down a person.
"you??"
"Why the hell are you here at our place in the middle of the night! And you're even running on the roof!"
It turned out to be a treasure hunter!
Brother Yu kicked something down.
I looked down and saw that it was a cloth doll about the same size as the one during the day!
Damn it, it turned out that the treasure hunter was hanging the cloth man with a rope, pretending to be a ghost to scare us!
Brother Yu got the person down, and I said, what are you doing? Are you playing?
The treasure hunter said with a grimace: "Yes...I'm sorry, it was an uncle of mine who asked me to do this. He said he wanted to scare you and scare you."
"stand up!"
With an angry look on his face, Brother Yu pulled the treasure hunter up from the ground with one hand and said, "I heard footsteps on the roof just now. I climbed up from the back wall without using the ladder. As soon as I got up, I saw this. The kid was sneaking around on the roof."
The head and bean sprouts also came out.
I was speechless: "Is this fun? Do you think you can scare us? Are you seriously ill?"
The treasure hunter hesitated, probably meaning he hoped we wouldn't hit him. It was just a joke. He didn't want to come in the first place.
After some questioning, we learned a secret.
At the same time, this secret also solved the previous doubts in my heart.
He said that Uncle Apo (the man who died) was carrying the medicine-gathering basket made of hemp rope and goat hair.
The reason why I found that place was also because of the wool on the bamboo basket.
If he hadn't told this secret, I would have thought that the old wizard was really psychic.
The sense of smell of sheep is more developed than hearing and vision, and not as good as that of dogs, but it is said that animals like sheep have a sixth sense.
For example, on a snowy day, the sheep shed is about to collapse under the weight of the snow. The leading sheep can feel it and lead the flock to avoid it. After a while, the shed is really collapsed under the weight of the snow.
The treasure hunter said that the deformed goat used to be a goat.
Dou Sprout was about to hit someone, so he stopped Dou Sprout by waving his head and hands.
The head said: "Young man, go back and don't use such low-level tactics in the future."
"Tell the old wizard that we are innocent. We really didn't do anything. Let this matter be forgotten. Don't accuse good people unjustly in the future."
The treasure hunter had just asked Brother Yu to clean up his bruised nose, swollen face, and injuries. After saying this, he smiled and said: "Xiaoxuan, go to my room. There is an envelope on the bedside table, bring it over."
There were fifteen thousand yuan in the thick envelope. The boss handed the envelope to him and said: "Young man, it was our fault for hurting you. This will be treated as medical expenses. Don't refuse."
The treasure hunter received the envelope, nodded repeatedly and said, "I know, I know! I also think it has nothing to do with you! Uncle Apo's disappearance was purely accidental. There are so many robbery holes in the mountain. He may have fallen into that hole by mistake."
After letting the man go, Douyazai said dissatisfied: "Boss! Why did we give him money!"
The head laughed and said, "What do you know, Yazai? It's wrong to injure someone. You should pay for the medical expenses."
In short, the matter ended like this. The descendants of the chieftain did not find that person, and even I don’t know where the person was buried after being transferred.
Two days have passed.
At noon that day, I was washing my slippers at the door when I suddenly saw a pair of long white legs wearing sunscreen stockings.
Look up.
I don't know when, a young girl stood in front of me, a fair-skinned beauty.
The girl smiled, bent down and said hello loudly:
"Aniha Seyo!"
