Time flies. When I was 20 years old, Li Tao and I went out to catch scorpions at night. We had miner's lamps on our heads, and the dead were less than three meters in front of me when we passed a graveyard. I looked at the road with my head down. Suddenly the dead man shouted "Ma Ya" and ran away. The miner's lamp of watermelon has fallen, and the bottle of scorpion has also been thrown.
my heart beat, I felt confused.
suddenly something touched my head, I lifted my head, casually said "watermelon", then threw the bottle of scorpion, and ran like flying, regardless of the southeast and northwest. I can't tell the difference between corn fields. In the first few steps, I ran on the corn stalk. I was caught on a strange road.
the voice of Li Tao, the dead man, "second, don't run away.". When I look back, it's Li Tao, the dead man. My brain is blank and I say, "what are you running for?"?
Li Tao, the dead man, said, "you are not slower than me. I have never seen you run so fast.". I asked Li Tao, the dead man, "you don't wait for me, watermelon. Where is this?"?
the dead Li Tao said, "this is the entrance of our village.".
I was stunned, and then I took a deep breath, 300 meters away from my home. I smashed my fist into the beating heart and asked the dead Li Tao, "what do you see?"?
Li Tao, the dead man, said, "I saw a snake with its mouth open like its face, red in blood.".
as soon as I heard that it was creepy and strange, I asked, "really?"? I feel my bones cold when I speak.
the dead Li Tao replied, "really, I'm your grandson.".
then I felt soft and sat on the ground. Li Tao, the dead man, said that I was just as dead at that time. He didn't respond to me. He dragged me home. I only know that the dead never cheated me, but what he saw was different from what I saw. When I got home, I was lying on the Kang, shaking all over. After sleeping for three days, my parents thought I was sick. My grandfather came to see me and felt that something was wrong with him.
after lying on the Kang for three days, you can't walk on both legs. Li Tao, the dead man, has come to see me several times. He is a dead man and doesn't feel at all. I asked him again what he saw. He was almost in a hurry with me. He said he saw a snake. He asked me what I saw. I thought about it and said it was a snake. I saw doubt in his eyes.
since then, I don't know why I've changed completely. I've changed into a person who doesn't like talking. I've changed into a person who feels strange and scared. Basically, I have nightmares every day. I often have hallucinations. I always feel that everything has happened. In the past, those feeling vague appeared in the head. To sleep, you should wear clothes and shoes, change your head and face without washing On the second day of that night, Li Tao, the dead man, went to the grave and found his miner's lamp. He said there was nothing there. I think he didn't go for the miner's lamp. He went for his doubts. Obviously, we grew up together. He believed in me and I believed in him. He must have understood that I was not what he saw. Less than ten seconds before and after. What happened?
I just paid attention. I haven't heard anything about the nearby village.
at the end of the year, his commander Qin Zhi wrote that he would recover this year. After five or six years as a soldier, I came back. Just that month, my grandfather died, and my parents wouldn't let me see his body. When I went to the cremation, my head was blank. I don't feel it. I heard someone call me vaguely. It's my grandfather. I felt cold all over, and my grandfather, who was burning in the incinerator, sat up and waved to me. I went to the incinerator unconsciously, and saw grandpa sitting in it seriously, with many Scripture like sounds in his ears. I felt that for a long time Grandpa's voice clearly sounded: laugh two, it's up to you. What is the answer? What is the answer? What is the answer I unconsciously said, "watermelon is a straw.".
suddenly my brother shouted, "smile, what are you doing?"? Then there was a scream.
when I woke up, I felt like I had a long, long, fuzzy dream. It's a mess. Everything seems to be wrong in front of me: I'm in the hospital. The first thing I saw was Li Tao, the dead man. He looked at me as if I were a dead man. He stayed there saying nothing, just staring at me. I don't want to talk to him.
"watermelon" I said unconsciously.
in the past moment, it seems that Li Tao, the dead man, is in tears. No, he is in tears.
watermelon and wheat straw. The dead man, who was beaten or not, was in tears. I'm more surprised than to see two suns in the sky. This brother has never seen him cry. The narration of Li Tao, the dead man, scared me. I was turning on the incinerator when my brother roared, and then I fainted. The incinerator opened, and my grandfather was sitting in it, with an expression of indifference on his face. The people next to me screamed when they saw it. The dead said I was in a coma for a hundred days. It's strange that I eat and go to the toilet as usual, either sitting still or sleeping. I eat when I give food, sit when I get up, and sleep when I lay down. All the instruments that should not be done have been done, everything is normal.
the family's money has been spent, and so has the money for commander Qin Zhi's recovery. My parents probably gave up and told me to go home. It was Li Tao, the dead man, and Qin Zhi, the commander, who insisted and paid me to stay in the hospital. Commander Qin Zhi went to eat royal food because of my hospitalization expenses. At that moment, I bit my teeth and didn't let the tears flow down.
when I was in a coma for 30 days, commander Qin Zhi came back. He didn't even go back to the hospital directly. Then the two of them went around and borrowed money to pay for their hospital stay. Because we belong to a kind of scoundrel, the commander borrowed usury at last, and the monthly interest can't be paid at all. Commander Qin Zhi and usurer fight, seriously injured two, disabled one. He was sentenced to eighteen years. He didn't even come home. I left the hospital that day and went directly to the prison of commander Guan with the dead. Only left a message for the doctor: tell me Laozi, I'm ok. I'll go to other places if I have something to do.
we arrived at the prison the next morning and bought two cigarettes and two bottles of wine for Li Tao's contact with the money I returned from the hospital. We met the commander.
at that moment, the three of us all said a few words with tears and teeth.
commander Qin Zhi looked at me excitedly and said, "are you OK, son?"? I clenched my teeth.
Li Tao, the dead man, said, "the second one just woke up yesterday.". I then said, "you must come out before the new year.".
after five or six years as a soldier, he never went home. When he came back, he went in without even seeing his parents.
eighteen years, eighteen years. After that, I didn't go back and ran out of prison. The dead man soon came out. I wipe away tears, silent.
the dead man said to himself, "the man who said it didn't cry, just didn't get excited. Wine smoke, smoke, can not poke with fingers, in no tears is stone man. There are still a few drops of water when you step on dead eyes. I turned to see him and he looked at me. I rushed to him and knocked him down, and then we fought. I'll be on it, he'll be on it. Until the arms are stiff and weak. We lay on the ground panting heavily.
"one hundred thousand yuan" I heard the dead Li Tao say. I feel strange and look at him with strange eyes.
Li Tao, the dead man, looked at me and continued, "I asked someone. If the commander wanted to come out, he had to make money. What premium should he take? What's the trial fee? Three thousand a year? Plus gifts, it would cost 100000 yuan.". I stood up and said, "go, get the money.".
