More than an hour later, Xiaoxia completed her backlog of work, and Wanli also sent Xiaoxia a large text telling the story of that year.
――――
I was seven years old that year, and A Zhan was also seven years old. That was the first time we met. He was very taciturn at the time, and people who didn't know him thought he was mute. He always stayed alone quietly. He was a bit scary at a young age and his eyes were cold. For this reason, people in the town had a lot of speculation about his life experience. Many unkind people made up that he was A child who was born in a coffin by a dead pregnant woman was said to have an unknown origin and was born a freak.
But I am particularly curious about him. I have been very courageous since I was a child. In addition, my parents are very upright people. They usually respect Azhan's adoptive father, but I feel sorry for him because he was abandoned by his biological parents at a young age. I am very encouraged. Be friends with him. So no matter how he refused, I always pestered him. (This is similar to you, although it seems that you are already better than your predecessor, and I still don’t know his true origin. I hope you can solve this mystery.) Maybe he is too lonely. Gradually, he is not so repulsive to me. Although he doesn't talk much yet, he doesn't object to me talking around him. From then on, we went to and from school together, played together, and fought together every day, and we became more and more harmonious. By the way, when I was a child, I had a nickname called Hualouzi. He was the kind of child who was disliked by dogs and was particularly annoying.
Boys, you know, are born to form cliques, shout and drink. In addition, the school spirit of our school is a bit like that, so fights happen every day. A few senior classmates may think that A-Zhan and I are an eyesore, and have been calling on our classmates to exclude us, a pair of first-year primary school students. If it weren't for A-Zhan's gnashing of teeth and thorns all over his body, it would make people think that we are an eyesore. It's not easy to mess with. We'll have to eat a big meal every three to five days.
The day before the summer vacation that year, I had forgotten that because of some trivial matter, a few senior students who dominated the school took advantage of A Zhan's absence and blocked me in the classroom. They said that I was just relying on freaks to support me and that I had no ability to challenge them one on one. I was so angry that I challenged myself to a one-on-one challenge, so they asked me to go to the deserted house on the east side of town that night to test my courage. Those who didn't go would have to imitate a dog and bark at the school gate for three days.
It is said that before the liberation of the deserted house, there lived the outer room of a rich man and her two children. Later, they disappeared inexplicably overnight. No one knew whether they were dead or alive, or where they had gone. Anyway, the big man The rich man never appeared again, and the house remained unoccupied. From then on, the deserted house became a strange existence in the town. Everyone was full of imagination about it, but no one dared to get close to it. Years later, some brave people tried to move in, but either they got seriously ill for no reason, or things in the house would move around unknowingly, so the rumors of haunting there became more and more serious. Many people vividly said that they had seen ghosts flickering there, the sound of women singing and children playing, and some even said they had seen two obscure children walking along the long street late at night carrying lanterns. , followed by a woman in gorgeous clothes.
Whether the people in the town really believe this or not, no one hangs out there after nightfall. Even if they pass by the abandoned house, they will pass by in a hurry and never stop. I actually knew how scary it was from what the adults said, and I believed it somewhat, but I was stubborn and refused to admit defeat, so I bit the bullet and sneaked there without giving in. The older children said they had heard ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, but they had never heard people knocking on the ghost's door in the middle of the night. As long as I dared to go, I would be a hero.
In order to be this useless hero, I went.
The other children were waiting under a big tree far away. They were just close enough to see if I had escaped, and they could run away safely if a ghost came out. And I walked over alone and cautiously. The footsteps were particularly abrupt on the stone street, which made me feel that the footsteps were not mine and that something was following me.
I knocked on the door shivering, but there was no reply except my gasp. I knocked again, still dead silence. Just when I was about to knock for the third time as agreed, I suddenly felt something moving on the door.
An abnormally round eye flickered at me from the big crack in the door!
I was so scared that I almost sat on the ground, but at this moment, the door opened silently.
A woman stood inside the door. I couldn't see her face clearly in the darkness, but I saw her white teeth and felt that she was smiling, a dead smile, a gloomy smile!
Before I could recover, she suddenly stuffed a small note into my hand. The coldness of the dead and the smell of rotten leaves spread from my hands and nose to my whole body, and then the door opened. It closed with a bang, as if it had never been opened.
I was frightened, turned around and ran away, but the moon was very bright that night, allowing me to clearly see my own shadow - and another shadow next to my shadow. I looked around, but no one was following me, but there were indeed two shadows on the ground until I returned to the older children waiting for me under the big tree.
They didn’t expect me to be able to do this. The strange thing is that no one saw the door of the deserted house open. They also laughed at me for bragging and didn’t mention the ‘hero’ thing at all, and I couldn’t care less about it. "Blocked", I ran home as soon as everyone dispersed. I didn't dare to turn on the light for fear of waking my parents. In the surprisingly bright moonlight, I saw the note that I almost crushed to pieces. There were three words written crookedly on it - -hide and seek.
What that means, I don't know. I was just shocked and scared, so I threw the note out of the back window and closed the window tightly. However, when I turned around, I saw the extra shadow around me in the moonlight.
I was so frightened that I quickly hid in the bed, half asleep until dawn. When I woke up the next day, I saw the note returning to my pillow like a long leg.
Hide and seek!
These three words seemed to have been traced with a red pen, and they were even clearer than the first night.
I picked up the note and threw it into the stove in panic, watching it burn to ashes. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but I felt that the note kept jumping in the flames, as if it was being burned very badly, and it kept shouting at me - it hurts - it hurts - it hurts.
Think about it, I was only seven years old back then. I’m not bragging. I was pretty good without being frightened to death on the spot after being frightened repeatedly. How could I dare to tell my parents about my naughty things? That day, my parents only suspected that I was sick. The usual suspects turned into a good boy. Not only did I not go out to play or run around, I didn't even go near the cooking fire. It was really strange. But they were too busy at work. Seeing that I had no physical symptoms, they asked me a few questions and then went to work.
I stayed at home alone. Even though it was broad daylight, I still felt like someone was following me, which made me run out to the yard to be exposed to the sun in the middle of summer. The neighbors said that this kid Wan Li was crazy, but actually I wanted to prove that I was the only one in the shadow.
But, there are still two shadows!
Although one of them was blurry, even though it was in the midday sun, I still saw another shadow nestling next to my own, like another head growing out of my shoulders.
In the extreme fright, I developed a strong energy and tried my best to step on the extra shadow, spinning around in circles in order to find its traces. The scene was like a puppy chasing its own tail, which amused everyone. Those who saw it laughed. But I was extremely frightened in my heart, and I didn’t understand why people couldn’t see that I had two shadows.
At this time Azhan came to see me, and I remembered that because his father had to go to a neighboring town to do some errands, he was afraid that he would come back late and didn’t want him to stay at home alone, so after discussing with my parents, he let him Come stay at my house today.
I was so happy when I saw him, thinking that I finally had someone to discuss what happened last night, but who knew that when he saw me, he rushed over to me and slapped me hard. I was originally frightened to angry about the two shadows, but now I was able to cope with it, and I rushed over to fight with him.
He didn't resist my punches at all, and kept hitting me on the head despite being beaten. I was so angry that I even wanted to bite him. The neighbor's adults separated us and gave us a few words of education, but we were still twisting around until we entered the house.
As soon as I entered the room, I yelled at him: "Why did you hit me?"
He said: "Your soul is about to escape, I will help you fight it in!"
Later I found out that that night, my three souls and seven souls were scared out of part of my body and could not return to their places. And for the first time since then, I also knew that Azhan could see things that others could not. thing.
