Hearing Aunt Li's words, I paused slightly and saw that her expression was a bit stiff. Although this woman's mouth has always been weak, her state was different today, as if she was a different person.
"I'm sick!" I closed the door and ignored her crazy look.
I packed my luggage first when I entered the house. After finishing it, I was going to go to Grandma Zhang's house to help make dumplings.
When I walked out of the house and locked the door, a cool breeze blew up and made my hair stand on end.
"Who?" I exclaimed.
My eyes were fixed on the shadow ahead. I just saw the black shadow hiding there from the corner of my eye.
I didn't lock the door and walked toward the shadowed place. I was actually scared and a little frightened, but I also had to know who was there.
I walked over quietly and got there, but I didn't see anything. Did I see it wrong?
When I was stunned, Grandpa Zhang came over.
"Girl, you, come here quickly!"
When I saw the frightened expression on Grandpa Zhang's face, I was suddenly shocked and his expression changed a little. His eyes were fixed on the direction behind me.
I calmed down, walked a few steps towards Grandpa Zhang at the door.
Then he took my hand, and I felt that the old man's hand was shaking.
"Grandpa Zhang?" I called him softly.
"Girl, hurry up, hurry up!" Grandpa Zhang's breathing became rapid and his voice was anxious.
I didn't bother to lock the door, so I helped Grandpa Zhang leave here. We almost trotted all the way to Grandpa Zhang's house next door. After entering their yard, Grandpa Zhang quickly closed the door.
The big black dog in the yard kept barking and barking. The big black dog bared his teeth when he looked at me.
"Dahei, shut up!" Grandpa Zhang shouted coldly. The big black dog only closed its mouth, but it still grinned at me and was hostile.
I don't think I'm very annoying to dogs, but this big black dog doesn't like me. At this time, Grandma Zhang also walked out of the house, coming to kick the barking dog.
The big black dog just walked to the other side and didn't dare to look at me again.
"What's wrong with this dog? It's usually very obedient, but why is it barking all the time today." Grandma Zhang said to herself.
She turned her head and looked at her husband, finding beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Old man, are you okay?" Grandma Zhang asked worriedly.
Grandpa Zhang waved his hand feebly. He leaned against the door panel, breathing heavily and looking very tired.
"Grandpa Zhang, what did you see just now?" I asked.
He waited for a long time, and Grandma Zhang helped her up. After she was helped into the house, Grandpa Zhang said:
"I just saw something with the head of a human and the body of a snake. That head was the one that died in the village before."
I heard Grandpa Zhang's description. Although I had never seen that weird-looking thing with my own eyes, these few descriptions already made my scalp numb and my blood cold. Who could look like this?
"But isn't Er Zhu already dead? Old man, could it be that you saw it wrong?" Grandma Zhang asked quickly and doubtfully.
"I also think I saw it wrong, hey!" He sighed.
My heart sank. Why did so many things start to happen after I came back? Am I really an ominous person?
"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. My daughter, you are back. If you are afraid, just stay with grandma!"
Grandpa Zhang also nodded.
After hearing Grandma Zhang's words, my heart was still very warm and warm.
"No need for Grandma Zhang. No matter what happens in the future, I will have to face it alone. Grandma is gone, and I have to learn to be strong."
"Hey, poor child!" She groped my hand.
"Okay, the dumplings are almost cold!" Grandpa Zhang said with a smile, and at this time he regained some color.
Grandma Zhang quickly asked me to eat more dumplings. It's made with pork and celery. I remember that my grandma used to make dumplings with this stuffing for me.
I have been wandering outside for so many years and have never been able to eat such delicious dumplings. The dumplings in restaurants do not taste like home.
As I was eating, I remembered that grandma was here, and my tears couldn't stop flowing down. I ate the dumplings mixed with tears.
Grandpa Zhang was eating dumplings and drinking wine. After drinking, his face turned rosy. After drinking, we started talking more.
He told me a lot of things from the past, and the more he talked about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. Thinking of my grandma, Grandma Zhang saw my look and asked him to stop.
"Your grandma gave birth to your mother's daughter all her life. It's true that your mother hasn't been here for so many years." Grandma Zhang felt uncomfortable as she spoke.
"How do you say you haven't been here before? Before her accident, I saw that she had come here with her stupid son." Grandpa Zhang immediately retorted.
"My mother and my brother were here too? How long did it take for them to leave before something happened to grandma?" When I thought of Jing Yong's appearance, I felt uncomfortable all over. Why would my mother bring him here?
"It was probably just one day later." Grandma Zhang recalled, and Grandpa Zhang echoed.
What a coincidence. What were they doing here?
After hearing this, I ate absentmindedly and prepared to leave. Grandma Zhang also wanted to persuade me to live with her, but I declined.
Grandpa Zhang wanted to send me back, but thinking of the fright he had received just now, I still refused.
"Daughter, please take our big black dog with you. Even though it's ferocious, it's still very capable of dealing with those things!"
Grandpa Zhang said that he would let me take that big black dog back tonight. I thought it would be good to take the dog with me as a companion.
So this time he didn't refuse again and led the big dog home.
This time Dahei and I had a tacit understanding. He was very docile and didn't bark.
We walked home and took Dahei around the yard first. The big black dog didn’t behave abnormally, and I felt a little relieved.
So I tied Dahei to the pillar, and I went back to sort out the clothes. After I finished doing it, it was getting dark. Turned off the lights and got on the kang and went to sleep.
I didn't know what time it was when I was asleep, but I was suddenly woken up by the screams outside.
I quickly turned on the light and heard the big black dog in the yard barking non-stop. The barking was even louder than before.
I rubbed my eyes, immediately put on my clothes and ran out of the house.
As soon as he arrived at the yard, he saw Dahei stretching his neck and barking in the direction of the next door. I saw that the dog's leash had been stretched straight by Dahei. The fur on the dog's neck was worn away and there was faint blood oozing out.
Even so, it was still screaming desperately, and I felt something was wrong.
"Dahei!" I called several times, but it didn't respond at all. It kept baring its teeth and barking at the air.
I hurried over and untied the iron chain that tied Dahei. At a speed I didn't expect, Dahei's figure rushed out from here like a black lightning.
No matter how much I yelled from behind, it never looked back.
I ran out with Dahei and saw that Dahei had returned to his home. I quickened my pace, thinking that something must have happened, otherwise Dahei would not be so abnormal.
If I thought about it, I immediately ran to Grandpa Zhang's house next door. The courtyard door was open. It seemed that something had really happened at Grandpa Zhang's house.
Dahei rushed into the yard and roared at the chicken coop in the northeast corner. There must be something there.
I saw a rake leaning against the courtyard wall, and held it tightly in my hand.
He ran to Dahei and raised the rake to the dark place.
"What the hell, get out!"
I yelled. I don’t know what gave me the courage, but I just didn’t want that thing to hurt the old Zhang family couple.
Hiss——
