There was a clear moon and few stars in the sky. Since it was the hot season in July, it still seemed a bit muggy at night.
Wang Meng dragged his tired body on his way home. He had just finished a day's work and looked listless!
Wang Meng is eighteen years old this year. He is much shorter than his peers. His body is as thin as a rib. He looks like he was not well developed at birth and his nutrition has not kept up with him later. It is difficult for such a person to
I believe he is a student who is about to enter university, and he looks very much like someone who has escaped from a disaster place!
"Hey, I'm so exhausted. That damn foreman actually asked me to move such a heavy thing!" Wang Meng muttered as he walked.
If it weren't for the purpose of raising living expenses for college as soon as possible, he would not work as a porter in a small supermarket in the town. With his size and body, the porter's job is not suitable for him at all!
Wang Meng's family was not wealthy, and his parents died in an accident a few years ago.
As for his relatives, they supported him at first for the sake of face, but in the past two years they have almost ignored him. Sometimes they even walk around when they see him, as if they are avoiding the plague!
Although Wang Meng is thin, he has a lot of self-esteem. He would rather suffer than look at the faces of his relatives! Therefore, although the work of moving goods is tiring, he has persisted!
Now that the national policy is good, you can apply for student loans, and you can work-study when you go to college, so Wang Meng's pressure to go to school has been reduced a lot.
The only thing that makes Wang Meng regretful is that he is stupid and failed to get into the undergraduate program. He only got into a junior college, otherwise the town would have rewarded him with 5,000 yuan!
Five thousand yuan is nothing to many families, but to Wang Meng, it is equivalent to his salary for four months of hard work!
Dragging his body, Wang Meng walked forward with blank eyes like a zombie. He seemed like a person who was out of place and found it difficult to integrate into this bustling street.
While walking, Wang Meng's body suddenly stopped and his feet stopped involuntarily.
There was a black car parked ten meters ahead. The license plate number that Wang Meng recognized was that of his second uncle's car. Although he didn't know the model of the car, he knew that the car was worth more than 20 yuan.
Ten thousand!
"Why is the second uncle's car here?"
Wang Meng thought suspiciously in his heart, but he didn't take it too seriously because his relatives, including his second uncle, all regarded him as the God of Plague. Wang Meng only experienced hypocrisy and indifference from them!
He raised his legs and continued walking forward. Through the transparent glass of the hotel, Wang Meng clearly saw his so-called relatives sitting around a table filled with wine and food, eating and talking and laughing.
In addition to his uncles, aunts, and uncles, there were also cousins, cousins, and cousins. They were all eating inside. It looked like they were celebrating something, but Wang Meng was excluded.
!
Wang Meng thought for a moment and realized why they were celebrating. His second uncle's son passed the college entrance examination this year and passed the key undergraduate course. It must be for this reason!
At this moment, Wang Meng clearly saw his second uncle looking over, with a flash of surprise on his expression. However, his second uncle quickly looked away and pretended not to see Wang Meng.
How could Wang Meng not see that his second uncle was pretending on purpose? He felt uncomfortable at this moment. Looking at the people inside who were eating and drinking and persuading each other to drink, Wang Meng clenched his fists!
"I must stand out in the future. I want to let those who look down on me know that I, Wang Meng, am not a waste!"
Wang Meng felt sad in his heart. He didn't want to look at the faces of those people anymore and strode forward!
After working all afternoon, Wang Meng had not eaten yet. He passed by a steamed bun shop and spent three yuan to buy some steamed buns stuffed with chives. This was his dinner. Although it could not compare with the big fish and meat that his relatives ate.
, but Wang Meng can eat it with gusto every time!
It was almost nine o'clock at this time, and Wang Meng took a shortcut and walked home with the buns he bought!
The moon was exceptionally bright today, and Wang Meng was not affected at all when he walked into a dimly lit alley. Through the moonlight, he could clearly see the reflective patches of water on the ground!
There are constant sounds of crickets coming from all around, and occasionally you can hear a few cats meowing. Everything seems so peaceful!
“The weather is really nice tonight!”
Looking up at the night sky, Wang Meng felt much more relaxed, and the fatigue of the day seemed to be relieved.
Although the night is beautiful, Wang Meng must go back quickly. He has to go to work tomorrow morning. If he is late, his salary will be deducted for three days!
The alley is very deep, and the lights get dimmer as you go in. It is blocked by some obstacles, and even the moonlight cannot shine. Few people choose to take this path. People often say that it is very eerie.
But Wang Meng is not afraid. He is a 21st century young man who has received a normal education and does not believe in ghosts!
As soon as they reached the darkest part of the alley, a "bang, rumble, rumble" sound faintly reached Wang Meng's ears.
"Whose family is this snoring? It's really bad!" Wang Meng smiled and didn't take it to heart.
But--
This "bang, bang, bang" sound became louder and louder. It was not something a human could make by snoring!
"Huh? Strange, what's going on?"
Wang Meng couldn't help but raised his head and looked at the sky again. The sound was obviously coming from the sky, but the problem was that there were few stars and clouds in the sky today, so how could there be a dull sound of thunder?
Wang Meng couldn't figure it out and didn't want to waste his brain cells on this. He quickened his pace, wanting to get home quickly and eat and sleep!
"Boom!"
The sound became louder, like a bomb exploding above his head. Wang Meng was shocked to the point where his ears were buzzing. Finally, he couldn't help it anymore, so he blocked his ears with his hands!
But the strange thing is that not only did this have no effect at all, but the sound seemed to reverberate in his entire brain!
If there were any outsiders here, they would definitely be shocked by Wang Meng’s appearance at this time!
At this time, Wang Meng's face was as white as paper, and he was pulling his hair hard with both hands. In the end, he couldn't hold on any longer, and he fell to the ground and started twitching!
The strange thing is that the surroundings are so quiet, there is no deafening sound at all, but the pain Wang Meng is suffering is real, which can be seen from Wang Meng's face that becomes more and more distorted!
At this time, Wang Meng's whole body was soaked with sweat, and finally he became motionless...
I don’t know how much time passed, but Wang Meng gradually came to his senses. His first reaction was, “Where is this place?”
When he saw the buns scattered on the ground, Wang Meng remembered that he was going home, but when he passed by, he heard a deafening sound. He still clearly felt the pain that seemed to burst his whole brain.
I remember that feeling so vividly that it is no exaggeration to say that life would be worse than death!
Panting heavily, Wang Meng was sweating so much and felt a little exhausted. His brain was not completely clear. It took a lot of effort to stand up from the ground!
"What's going on? Where did that sound come from?" Wang Meng even doubted whether he had a nightmare. It was so terrifying that he didn't want to experience it again.
He couldn't care less about the dumplings scattered on the ground. He just wanted to go back as soon as possible and get out of here as soon as possible!
But just as he was raising his legs to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a white shadow behind him!
"Huh? Is there anyone else passing by here?"
Out of curiosity, Wang Meng looked back and saw a woman in white standing five meters behind him. The woman's clothes were very special, easily reminiscent of the dress of an ancient palace maid.
Seeing the woman looking at him, Wang Meng suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know if the woman had seen his embarrassment just now. He hesitated for a while and still didn't know what to say, so he turned around and walked towards home.
.
However, as soon as he started walking, the woman behind him actually moved too, and her figure was as light as catkins!
Strange clothes and erratic figures appear here again. Could it be that...
A thought flashed through Wang Meng's mind, which frightened him so much that he turned blue!
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. How can there be ghosts in this world? It must be a misunderstanding!" Wang Meng warned himself in his heart, and looked at the woman again.
"Sister, you...are you also going this way?" Wang Meng was not good at talking to girls, and now he had nothing to say.
The woman was surprisingly quiet, just standing there quietly and looking at Wang Meng quietly!
Wang Meng swallowed his saliva and warned himself again that there are no monsters in this world, and then said: "Sister, you go first, I..."
Wang Meng's words came to an abrupt end before he could finish his words, and his eyes almost popped out of his head in shock. Unexpectedly, the woman actually floated in front of him!
Wang Meng could swear to those buns on the ground that he was definitely not blind. The woman didn't come over here, she floated over!
At that moment, Wang Meng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his brain shut down for more than ten seconds.
Although he wanted to warn himself that this was an era that emphasized science, and although he knew that there would be no ghosts or anything like that in this world, at this moment he was like a frightened bird, with no reason left and no idea where it came from.
He was so strong that he ran away!
He ran out of the alley in one breath. The street lights outside were bright and there were pedestrians passing by. Wang Meng's racing heart finally calmed down slightly.
"It really scared me to death. I thought I met a ghost!" Wang Meng said mockingly to himself. Thinking about what he just experienced, he can't help but feel a little nervous.
Wang Meng bent down and was about to take a breath, but he was horrified to find that the woman was standing behind him. What really frightened him was that the woman had no shadow under the light!!!
