demon son

Shen Nuo had a dream, and he dreamed of Xia Mo again.

Yes, again.

After returning from Xiajia Village, he always dreamed of Xia Mo, dreaming that he was playing with his friends, dreaming that he was greedy, dreaming that he was arguing with his mother, dreaming that he didn't want to go to school... the dream was so real , so real that he could hardly distinguish dream from reality.

And the reason why he can clearly distinguish between the two is because in these dreams, he can't contact or even communicate with Xia Mo anyway. He is like a silent bystander, silently watching everything in the dream .However, although he can clearly distinguish dreams from reality, he also firmly believes that everything that happens in the dream is real.Because, in his dream, he saw Mrs. Mo throwing away the phone number he gave to Xia Mo while Xia Mo was asleep.So, Xia Mo has not contacted him for so long.

Xia Mo still remembered him and called him his wife just now.

In the darkness, an extremely warm smile appeared on Shen Nuo's beautiful but indifferent face, and the crescent-shaped eyes were full of rare happiness.He gently twisted the red rope hanging around his neck, and the pendant hidden in his clothes slid out. It was a transparent bead the size of an adult's thumb, and at first glance it looked like an ordinary glass bead.Only Shen Nuo knew that this bead would emit a cloud-like light in the pitch-black darkness, and in the sunlight, it would become more radiant than diamonds.

This bead always made him think of Xia Mo involuntarily, thinking of that dark night, in that dark pit, Xia Mo suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Don't be afraid, I will save you."

Even in the long future, when Shen Nuo recalled that moment and the feeling of being redeemed at that moment, it was as if a ray of light shone into his life, making his life colorful from then on.

It would be great if I could live with Xia Mo all the time.

Xia Mo must have thought so too... right?

That must be the case, just now he called his daughter-in-law.

Shen Nuo was a little excited, he was finally able to contact Xia Mo in his dream, but at the same time, he was more regretful and worried——

I don't know if Xia Mo heard his name clearly just now.

Shen Nuo's expression at the moment was both happy and worried, like a little boy in trouble, childish and cute.

Bang bang bang.

There were a few light knocks on the door, and a gentle female voice said, "Shen Nuo, it's time to get up, your French teacher will be here soon."

Shen Nuo hid the beads in her clothes again, all the vivid expressions on her face receded like a tide, leaving only a calm indifference, "Oh."

Xia Mo was also awakened by the sudden shattered dream, but he turned over and fell asleep. He slept until he was almost late and refused to get up. Finally, Aunt Mo took coercive measures and grabbed him.Xia Mo was in a daze all morning, and he didn't feel better until he took a nap after lunch.

When it was time for lunch in the afternoon, Xia Mo took the apple given to him by the teacher and complained to the big black cat who came to him while gnawing, "What hair did you find for me? It's not He Wenqing's at all, okay?"

The big black cat said with a guilty conscience: "He Wenqing's dormitory is so tightly closed, I can't get in at all, so I can only ask Shuda to look for it. Shuda said that He Wenqing's house was cleaned too cleanly, so he found the place after searching all over. A few hairs, I really don’t blame me, really.” After a pause, the big black cat asked cautiously, “Are those hairs useful?”

Xia Mo gave the big black cat a white eye, and while gnawing on the apple, he said, "It's kind of useful." Xia Mo described the appearance of the owner of the dream to the big black cat, "Go and see what her name is. Name, she should know a lot of things, if she is willing to tell these things, He Wenqing will be ruined or something, anyway, it will definitely be over."

After all, the big black cat has lived in human society for many years and is well versed in certain human habits. It pondered: "I'm afraid it's not that easy, I'll go and see that girl first."

The big black cat is very efficient. As soon as Xia Mo finished a class, the big black cat came back to him with a message, "The girl you mentioned is called Xiang Ye, and she and Xiang Ling are at the same table and in the same village. Their relationship It's been fine. You're right, she should know something, at least, she should know that Xiang Ling didn't fall into the water by mistake. "

This coincides with the situation in the dream last night.

Xia Mo didn't understand, "Then why didn't she say it?"

"Because she was also one of the people who was forced by He Wenqing to have a baby. I saw her. I wanted to help her that time, but Xiang Ling helped her later." The big black cat didn't tell Xia Mo Yes, Xiang Ye escaped, and Xiang Ling became the one who gave birth.

"Does it matter?" Xia Mo was puzzled.

"You are too young to understand their human minds, but sometimes I don't understand." On the one hand, there is a good friend who saved him, and on the other hand, a teacher who is not as good as a beast, and he can tell some truths to Ye Mingming However, she chose to keep her mouth shut and whitewash the peace.

Wouldn't her conscience ache?

Xia Mo originally wanted Xiang Ling to be a breakthrough, but now it seems that it may be too small to let her speak.

So what to do now?

Xia Mo wrinkled his face and thought for a while, and finally said to the big black cat: "Follow Xiang Ye and see if you can find Xiang Ling in their village. As long as you can find her, things will be easy."

The last sentence was pure deception, and Xia Mo didn't know what to do, but it would be a good thing if he could find Xiang Ling, at least he could get his 100 yuan.As for He Wenqing, he only agreed to help the big black cat clean up, but he didn't say how and to what extent... Xia Mo gnawed on the big apple, his eyes glistening with cunning.

He will try his best.

Xia Mo thought slightly guilty.

The big black cat followed Xiang Ye silently and followed all the way to Xiangjia Village.As soon as he entered the village, the big black cat sensed the aura of ghosts. Following this aura, the big black cat came to an old one-story house.

A courtyard wall was built in front of the bungalow, and the gate was locked. The big black cat jumped on the top of the wall and looked in. I saw a gloomy old woman, cursing and feeding the chickens and ducks. The ground in the courtyard was full of chickens and ducks. Shit, it stinks.An old man with dark skin and a very honest appearance was sitting under the eaves, smoking a homemade earthen cigarette, probably tired of being read by the old woman, he knocked on the cigarette rod heavily on the chair, "Enough, everyone Is it bothering you to read it all day long after you’re dead?”

Throwing the dustpan in her hand, the old woman said angrily: "Annoying, you still think I'm annoying? Why don't you say that dead girl, people are dead and people can't live in peace! She deserves to be eaten by wild dogs and gnawed by mice. Let the old lady send her to be cremated, dreaming, there is no way. The money for being an old lady is blown by the wind?"

"Girl Ling, didn't her father send money back?"

"That money is for Longzi to study, so is that dead girl worthy? If you want me to say, just dig a deeper hole and bury it. You have to spend that wronged money." Longzi is the grandson of the old woman , in junior high school in the county seat, his grades were not very good, but he spent a lot of money.But who made him the heart of the old woman?The old woman would not want to miss a bite from him if she didn't eat herself, and it was even more common for the old woman to pick up money to supplement him.

Q County is relatively remote. In the countryside, especially the elderly, they have very traditional ideas and almost cannot accept cremation. The supervision in the county is not strict, and many elderly people are buried quietly after they pass away.In order to encourage everyone to accept the national policy, the cremation fee in Q County is very cheap, but even this little money, the old woman is not willing to pay.

Originally, Xiang Ling was buried without cremation, and no one in the village said anything, but a few days ago, wild dogs dug out Xiang Ling's body.She was drowned, and when she was picked up, she was swollen by the river water, and now she has been dead for so many days, not to mention the rotten body, and it was ruined by wild dogs or something else. look.

At the beginning, Xiang's family buried her in their own field. There were no people living near the field, but many people in Xiangjia Village had their fields there, and they didn't go there very much during the slack season, but they were afraid after all.The first person who discovered that Xiang Ling's body had been dug out by wild dogs immediately fainted from fright, and he is still too sick to get out of bed.

The people in the village didn't do it because they thought it was bad luck, and asked the Xiang family to cremate Xiang Ling.Xiang Ling's father immediately gave the cremation fee to the old woman, but as soon as she got the money, the old woman was reluctant to take it out.Xiang Long had been clamoring for a Walkman for a long time, and this money was enough to buy him a very good one.

The big black cat lay on the wall, watching the farce. Finally, the old woman made a decision, "Go and dig a hole again. I'll go buy some gasoline and burn it and everything will be fine."

The old man hesitated, "Can it work?"

"Why not? You go, go, let's settle this matter today, so as not to save those wives from talking all day long."

The old woman and the old man acted separately. There were only chickens and ducks left in the house. The big black cat jumped down from the courtyard wall and followed the ghostly breath to find Xiang Ling who was hiding in the room.

Xiang Ling stood behind the window with a blank expression and blood and tears streaming down her face. Obviously, she heard the whole story from the beginning to the end. She even returned to Xiangjia Village a long time ago and witnessed many absurd and terrible things with her own eyes.

The resentment around her was almost solidified, surging, roaring, and accusing.

"What did I do wrong..."

The big black cat listened to her murmuring in a low voice, with despair and madness in her cold voice.

The big black cat meowed: "Hey, don't do anything stupid, it was Xia Mo who asked me to come to you, and he will help you." For the girl who once fed it, he had to bear the greed and parted. The girl with his half-cut ham sausage, the girl who chased away the cats who went to eat poisonous food, the big black cat finally relented.

"Xia Mo..." The beautiful fat baby flashed in Xiang Ling's heart, thinking of his clumsy comfort, thinking of his cute and cunning and occasionally fierce appearance, the resentment around him subsided a little, but the big black cat could not relax , the grievances around Xiang Ling suddenly exploded, the clear sky gathered dark clouds, and there was a faint thunder.

More blood and tears welled up in Xiang Ling's eyes, but her voice was exceptionally calm and desperate, "I remembered, I remembered everything."
