Liu Hai's yard is located at the northern end of the village, halfway up the Luffa Mountain. At the bottom of the mountain is a winding river that surrounds the mountain. It has no name, but it has nurtured generations of villagers in the village.
Luffa Mountain is not high, only more than a hundred meters high from the top to the bottom, but the environment on the mountain is very good. Among the green trees, several adobe houses of the Liu family are looming, but from a distance, they are hidden.
Despite the dilapidation of the house, it gives people a somewhat pastoral and leisurely atmosphere.
After entering the courtyard with farm tools, Liu Hai found that his sister was feeding chickens in the chicken coop in the north corner of the courtyard, but his mother Xiao Yun was not in the courtyard.
"Brother, I'm back!"
Liu Chen's clear and melodious voice was charming, and he jumped up to Liu Hai and wanted to take the farm tools from Liu Hai's hand.
"Go, don't get your clothes dirty. There's mud everywhere - where's mom?"
Liu Hai asked while shouting away Liu Chen who was rushing towards him.
"Mom is washing rice and cooking in the house. My second uncle and the others have to have dinner at our house today. Mom just said that she wants you to kill a chicken when you come back later -" Liu Chen said, swallowing, as if
Already asked about the flavor of the chicken.
The family keeps more than 20 native chickens in order to fatten them up and sell them at a good price to help the brother and sister pay for their school fees. Not only the chickens, but also the two pigs in the pig pen and a dozen ducks in the duck house.
They are all used for this purpose, even for Chinese New Year and holidays, the Liu family
They couldn't bear to kill half a chicken. When Liu Hai's uncle didn't lend money to their family, more than half of the tuition fees for the two children in the past came from these beasts. Even now, the living expenses of Liu Hai's two brothers and sisters all come from
Here it is.
But today is to entertain the folks who come to help with the work at home. No matter how reluctant you are, you can't spare such a chicken. The folks are kind enough to help, not just to eat your chicken, but the owner himself can't neglect it at all.
Folks in the countryside are all about being enthusiastic and interacting with each other, so even though he was poor, Xiao Yun still planned a chicken to entertain guests.
"Little girl, I just want to eat the movie. We have guests today, so you have to restrain yourself! Do you understand?"
Liu Hai pinched her sister's pretty nose and warned her carefully.
The little girl had two pigtails today, wearing a pure white long-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of gray trousers. Her two big eyes were filled with lively aura. She wrinkled her little nose and made a face at her bangs.
"Don't worry, my good brother, I know - hehe, I find that you are becoming more and more like your mother recently, you are nagging, hehe."
The little girl shook her head pretending to be disappointed, smiled, and ran away with a bang.
Looking at my sister's lively figure, for some reason, my bangs suddenly felt sore.
The little girl is so lively and cute, but she has never had a really good meal since she was a child. Girls from rich families say they want to "be rich". Liu Hai, who studies in the county town, naturally knows how much his sister's monthly living expenses are.
For the girls in their class from the county town, that was pitiful.
But the conditions in my family are indeed difficult, and my parents have tried their best. I can only blame myself for being useless. I am seventeen years old. Not only can I not make any money, I am also the one who spends the most money in the family!
"No matter what, after finishing the college entrance examination, I must find a way to make money!"
Liu Hai secretly made up his mind.
"Brother! Come here and kill the chicken!"
Just as Liu Hai was thinking about it, his little sister's voice sounded. He looked up and saw that his mother, Xiao Yun, had prepared the tools for killing the chicken. Liu Chen held a rooster weighing four or five kilograms in his hand and waved to him.
Liu Hai calmed down, rolled up his sleeves, and walked over.
"This is just a rooster that was castrated last year. I just weighed it. It weighs four pounds and nine taels. It is the heaviest rooster. Now that you two are young, you can have a good time beating the rooster."
Xiao Yun brought a pot of boiling water, walked over, and said to his children with a smile.
Liu Hai's nose felt sour again. He didn't know that his mother was willing to kill the biggest one because he was about to take the college entrance examination. If she entertained the second uncle and the others, she would only kill two or three pounds at most.
Enough.
In the dead of night, after all the people who came to help at home had dinner and went back, Liu Hai magically took out a rice bowl filled with chicken in the eyes of his sister Liu Chen with surprise. This was Liu Hai secretly holding the hidden chicken while the vegetables were coming out of the pot.
OK.
"Brother! You are so kind!"
Liu Chen jumped happily and took the chicken and wolfed it down, his face full of greed as if he was extremely happy.
"You boy, I said that I fried three kilograms of chicken today, but it felt a little bit lacking when it was served." Mother Xiao Yun rolled her bangs, but a happy smile appeared on her face. Her children love each other, which is what she wants most.
seen.
Bangs happily enjoyed her mother's eyes.
At night, Liu Hai was lying on his bed, playing with the green apple jade pendant in his hand. Recently, this jade pendant has become more and more mysterious, and the night is getting darker and darker. When Liu Hai just picked it up, it was only light blue, but now it has become
Turn into dark blue!
Liu Hai stared at the increasingly crystal clear jade pendant in his hand, looking at it carefully, trying to find out the magic in it, and slowly poured his heart into it.
Suddenly, something magical really happened!
"W-where is this?"
Liu Hai was surprised to find that in a daze, his body shook, and a white mist suddenly appeared in front of his eyes! Looking around again, a chill suddenly rose in his heart - without knowing it, he had come to a place inexplicably.
A place surrounded by white mist!
Thick white mist shrouded the whole body, making it impossible to see even one's fingers, except for a faint light in the distance!
Liu Hai was so frightened!
What's going on? Aren't you admiring the jade pendant in the bedroom? Why did you suddenly come to this ghost place?
Liu Hai wanted to scream, but something even more frightening happened! Liu Hai suddenly found that his throat could not make any sound! Even the slightest sound could not be made!
Liu Hai rubbed his neck vigorously! His eyes were full of fear of suddenly breaking into the unknown world! Although Liu Hai was usually very courageous, he even walked to the cemetery at night without frowning! But for a seventeen-year-old boy
For him, the sudden unknown and mysterious encounter gave him a chill in his heart! There is great fear in the unknown! It is far greater than the night and greater than the fear of the dead!
After a brief period of blankness in his mind, the dazed bangs finally regained some energy. There was only one thought in his mind - escape quickly! Escape from this unknown ghost place!
Get out! Get out!
Get out! Get out!!
Liu Hai kept chanting in his mind: Get out! Get out!
Just when the words in Liu Hai's mind were getting faster and faster, something magical really happened!
"Um?!"
Liu Hai suddenly felt a blazing white light flashing in front of his eyes, and he closed his eyes protectively. At this moment, his body shook. When he opened his eyes again, Liu Hai was surprised to find that he was back in the bedroom again!
"What the hell is going on here?"
Liu Hai looked around at the familiar scenes in disbelief. He really couldn't figure out what weird thing had happened to him!
The green apple jade pendant in my hand was still there, and I was still lying on the familiar bed. Everything was the same as before, as if the weird thing I had just experienced was just a dream!
"call--"
Lying there for a while, Liu Hai took a long breath and tried to calm down his heartbeat and emotions so that he could calm down and think about what happened to him!
After much thought, Liu Hai finally could only put all the weirdness on the magical jade pendant in his hand.
After all, many magical things have happened to this jade pendant - since wearing this jade pendant shaped like a green apple, my memory has improved and my physical fitness has improved! These changes all stem from this mysterious piece of jade pendant.
Jade pendant!
What just happened can only be explained through this jade pendant. Apart from this magical jade pendant that I got occasionally, there is really nothing special about me.
Liu Hai took a deep breath, imitating the same situation just now, staring at the jade pendant in his hand with all his concentration, and slowly tried to focus all his energy on the jade pendant.
Suddenly something magical happened again!
The thick white fog made it impossible to see even one's fingertips, with only a sliver of light coming from the distance.
It was this place again. This time, Liu Hai was mentally prepared. Although he was still frightened, he was not as panicked as when he first came.
Bracing up his courage, Liu Hai tried to take steps and groping forward. Suddenly Liu Hai stopped again.
He tried to gather his energy, chanting in his mind: "Get out! Get out!————"
Suddenly, a white light flashed before his eyes, and bangs appeared in his bedroom again!
“It’s really like that!!”
Liu Hai was a little surprised, he felt like he had discovered something!
