It's almost the same as the dream I had when I was young.
The Niang'er Village in the dream no longer looked like a dry village. The young lady stood at the door and smiled at me as always. She also showed an attractive figure under her red gauze.
The difference is that this time she was smiling and waving to me at the same time. I could faintly hear that she seemed to be talking to me, as if she was saying...
Come to me!
When I wanted to ask, I had already woken up from my dream. What made me a little lucky was that this time I didn't 'pee' my pants like I dreamed of this young lady a few years ago. In addition to being covered in sweat, my pants were still wet.
No more sticky feeling on the skin.
Of course, when I later learned what "wetting" my pants meant, I was still a little disappointed.
But that’s all for another day.
After waking up, I just felt a little empty inside.
The voice that told me to find her lingered in my mind, giving me the urge to find her.
You must know that this young lady once made me dream about her for a long time, but because I never had any more dreams after that, I gradually forgot about her.
But I was quite calm at that time, or maybe because I had lived alone in this dry village for many years, the desolation of Niang'er Village had long been ingrained in my mind, so even though I had some hope that the dream was true, reason was telling me
That's just my imagination.
And I always remember the last words the old madman left for me before he left.
One of them is that after burning the paper money at night, you can't leave home for even half a step.
After sighing, I turned over and fell asleep quickly.
I slept until dawn, but for some reason, I felt my right eyelid twitching when I woke up.
As the old saying goes, if your left eye twitches, you will get rich, and if your right eye twitches, you will be in trouble. Even if there is no disaster, it will not be a good thing if your right eyelid twitches too much. But I didn't think about it that much at the time. After washing, I left the house, ready to continue pretending.
A day of acting silly.
But as soon as I went out, I smelled a strange smell.
It's slightly pungent and makes me uncomfortable.
The old madman left some chickens and ducks for me, and I would kill one or two when I improved my food on weekdays, so after feeling it carefully, I was sure that it was the smell of blood.
I was confused at that time.
I didn’t kill the chickens and ducks, so why does it smell like this?
Could it be that those two fools Zhuang Yue and Liu Ming stole my rations while I was sleeping?
Thinking of this made me angry.
But when I looked for the smell, I was stunned on the spot. I did not smell it wrong. The smell was indeed the smell of blood, but the source was not the chickens and ducks I thought, but Zhuang Yue.
.
Zhuang Yue was hung naked from the eaves of the door. Behind him was the room he entered last night, and his lower body was terribly red, and the pungent smell of blood came from there.
Seeing this scene, I sat down on the ground as soon as I could. My stomach was churning and my mind was spinning.
Zhuang Yue is dead?
Who killed him?
Liu Ming?
While my mind was in chaos, Liu Ming also walked out of the room next to me. He held up the camera and took pictures, saying goodbye to the room with a still unfinished expression on his face, and then walked towards Zhuang Yue.
But Liu Ming seemed to have not seen that Zhuang Yue was dead, and proudly said to Zhuang Yue's body: "Zhuang Yue, how did you feel last night?"
"Anyway, I feel happy, and..."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of paper money from his pocket and shook it in front of Zhuang Yue's body.
It looked like Zhuang Yue was not dead, but was still standing in front of him alive and talking to him.
Seeing this scene, I just felt that my legs were a little weak. If Liu Ming and Zhuang Yue were talking to the air before, making those weird movements at night, and making those strange breathing sounds, it can be understood that they were
Madman, but now Zhuang Yue is obviously dead, but in Liu Ming's eyes, he seems to be still alive. This cannot be justified.
But I have more than ten years of experience in pretending to be crazy and stupid. I can still tell whether Liu Ming is pretending.
His expression was very real, not pretending at all.
In other words, in Liu Ming's eyes, Zhuang Yue should still be alive.
This means that either Liu Ming is a lunatic, or I am a lunatic.
Finally Liu Ming found me. When he saw me sitting on the ground, he was stunned for a moment. He felt guilty and put away the paper money he took out to show Zhuang Yue. Then he smiled awkwardly and looked at Zhuang Yue's body.
He said: "Let's get to the car first. There are still a lot of things to do. Last night I wrote a post overnight and sent out information about this Niang'er Village. It may have become popular now."
"We can also strike while the iron is hot and start filming documentaries."
"..."
"Yes, and the walking marriage custom in Niang'er Village is not surprising from the information we investigated. Men can stay here, which is more attractive than other walking marriage groups."
"..."
"Also, this fool..."
At this point in his self-question and answer, Liu Ming glanced at me, then waved his hand and turned around and said: "Forget it, I'll tell you when we get to the car. This is a big discovery, and it might allow us to eat and drink without worries."
…”
Watching him leave, I had no intention of chasing after him, nor did I have any intention of going to him to get back the paper money. I just felt that my mind was in chaos. If the wild dog at the entrance of the village hadn't suddenly barked a few times, I wouldn't have even thought about it.
You know how long I will be paralyzed on the ground, but as for Zhuang Yue...
My subconscious told me not to worry about it.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Liu Ming was already in the iron car they drove from.
He was sitting inside, holding a square object in his hand and fiddling with something.
I only learned later that that thing is called a computer outside.
At that time, Liu Ming was sending out some videos about Niang'er Village.
It's just that I didn't understand it at the time, and I didn't have the time to care about Zhuang Yue's affairs. I sat at the entrance of the village and stared blankly in front of me, not even thinking about teasing the dog.
Just upset.
Especially when I saw Liu Ming talking to himself while working on the computer, I couldn't help but want to go up and ask.
After much deliberation, I decided to go up.
Liu Ming's first reaction when he saw me was to touch his body. It seemed that he was making sure that the paper money on his body was hidden before he looked at me and said, "Fool, what are you doing here?"
I didn't answer, I just smiled and said: "Zhuang Yue..."
"died!"
Originally I was able to speak well, but I had to pretend to be stupid, and I also wanted to scare him to make sure he was not faking it.
I did startle Liu Ming. He looked at me first, then turned to look at the passenger seat, as if to confirm whether Zhuang Yue was there, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Zhuang Yue,
This fool said you were dead."
After waiting for a while, he looked at me again.
"We are busy right now, idiot, just go and play for now, be good!"
His behavior didn't look like a pretense at all.
But I still didn't give up. I thought about it and laughed again while staring at him.
