I come from a parallel world

Gao Ran's back felt cold, and he ran towards the big pond. He met Village Chief Zhao on the way, and was stopped, and asked him what he was doing in such a panic.

He spoke of evil spirits.

Village head Zhao took off his straw hat and fanned the wind, "Crazy Li is talking crazy, where in the world do evil spirits come from?"

Gao Ran used to listen to Crazy Li's words, and would take them as a joke, but he encountered a few bizarre things, his world view collapsed, and his reshaping was very different.

"I gonna go see."

Village head Zhao put the straw hat on the young man's head and told him, "Go as long as you want, and don't go swimming. A few years ago, I dug a few holes in the big pond and planned to make a small pond. Whoever draws lots? If they caught them, they would share them with others for fish farming, but when they were halfway through the digging, it continued to rain heavily, and the water in the pond swelled up, so I didn’t care about it, and if I fell into the deep pit, there would be accidents.”

Gao Ran, "Oh."

"If you want to swim, go to the small pond. I haven't dug a hole."

Village head Zhao wiped his sweaty face, "Is your aunt at home?"

Gao Ran said yes.

After he finished speaking, he quickly ran to the side of the big pond, the surroundings were quiet, and there was no one.

A large piece of emerald green reeds is lying in the water, swaying against the hot wind.

When the reeds magnified in Gao Ran's pupils, he realized that he had entered the water. The water covered his calves, and his trouser legs and shoes were completely wet.

The sparkling pond water was reflected in Gao Ran's eyes, like countless small sparkling fragments, he was a little dizzy, and when he wanted to go ashore, he felt that he was almost down, so he simply went to the reed marsh to have a look.

When Gao Ran was a child, every time he came to play by the big pond or passed by, he always felt that there was something eerie hidden in the reeds.

Growing up, that feeling is still there.

Gao Ran held his breath to touch the reed, and he pushed it away. There was a dead duck floating inside, swollen and stinking from the blisters.

I don't know when it sank to the bottom, and I don't know when it came up.

Gao Ran is a native countryman who moved to the county a few years ago. In his memory, chicken plague has occurred many times, and every time he commits a crime, the whole nest dies. He has also seen dead chickens that were half eaten by weasels , a dead duck whose neck was bitten off by a dog.

This time I don't know what's wrong, Gao Ran is hairy all over.

The wind was getting stronger, and there was a rustling sound in the reeds.

Gao Ran stepped back ashore, bent over and rolled up his trouser legs, and was about to take off his shoes when he suddenly felt eyes watching him.

Gao Ran turned around sharply, but there was no one behind.

He took a deep breath, and suddenly saw a figure swaying from the bushes not far away, and his heart stopped beating in shock.

The aunt had just come back from weeding in the field, with a wet towel on her head, a hoe in her hand, and a smile on her face, shouting, "Xiao Ran, it's you! When did you come back?"

Gao Ran's face was pale, he forced a smile, "I just came here this morning."

The aunt went to the pond to wash her face, grabbed a towel and wiped it off, "Come back and have a wedding wine, are your parents and grandma here?"

Gao Ran shook his head, saying that they had something to do.

Aunt took a handful of water to drink, and Gao Ran remembered the dead duck. He hurriedly stopped and pointed to the reeds, "There is a dead duck floating in it, it stinks."

Just now when the aunt was washing her face, Gao Ran wanted to stop it, but she didn't catch up.

Mom doesn't care.

She drank several sips of water, took a towel and waved it in the water, then stretched her feet in to wash off the dust on it.

Gao Ran felt uncomfortable in his stomach, and he turned around and left without staying longer. He left the big pond far behind, cursing in shock, "Fuck, I was almost scared to death just now!"

"Something has happened! The evil spirits have come to harm people—"

Crazy Li's screams reached Gao Ran's ears, he searched for the sound, and found someone by the bamboo forest.

Several children kept throwing small stones at Crazy Li, shouting vulgar words, telling him to get out of the village.

Adults say that children learn to look decent.

As soon as Gao Ran appeared, the children scattered in fright. He looked at the middle-aged man with a dirty face and dull eyes.

In his memory, Crazy Li was a poor man. The child drowned, his wife ran away with someone in the second year, and his parents died of illness one after another. He was just that crazy.

It is said that Crazy Li was hard-pressed and restrained.

Gao Ran doesn't think so, and can only say that everyone has their own destiny, some people are born to be treasured by their parents, while others grow up under the sticks and curses of their parents.

Some people are princesses and young masters before they are born, while some people are dying at the bottom of society in the first half of their lives, and are tortured by illness in the second half of their lives, and they will never enjoy happiness for the rest of their lives.

Life is different.

Crazy Li moved, he walked home through the bamboo forest, Gao Ran followed, and the dragonflies flew around in shock.

In the early years, Crazy Li's family had several houses. After his house suffered an accident, the back of the house and the house next to it reached a private agreement to occupy his house, demolish it and expand it.

The village chief didn't care about this matter, people are crazy, what else is there to care about.

Others in the village poked the backs of those two families secretly, and no one knew that they were actually very envious of each other.

Gao Ran stood in a messy room, the air was turbid, and there was the smell of dead rats. He slapped a mosquito, and a lot of blood came out, "There are too many things in your house, you don't need to throw them away or burn them. Could be more spacious and clean.”

Crazy Li couldn't understand, he rummaged through the clothes on the floor and didn't respond.

Gao Ran said, "I've been to the pond, and there are no evil spirits."

Crazy Li shook his clothes, he muttered, "Evil ghost..."

The next second he yelled in horror, "Look! The evil spirit is standing on the water!"

High burning creepy.

Liu Wenying was picking beans under the tree, and saw the young man coming this way, "Xiao Ran, it's so hot outside, where have you been?"

Gao Ran said that he went to Crazy Li's house.

Liu Wenying frowned, "Why did you go to his place? His room is full of dilapidated, dirty and smelly, how can he treat people?"

Gao Ran said, "Auntie, one of his feet was injured for some reason, the flesh is rotten, and there are flies staring at it..."

Liu Wenying interrupted disgustingly, "It has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it!"

Gao Ran rubbed his nose, he had already given Crazy Li some money to go to the clinic to see his foot injury.

In the evening, Liu Wenying steamed a porcelain pot full of ducks, marinated, dried just right, and very fragrant.

Gao Ran didn't touch it, he remembered something.

Some people don't want to throw away chickens, ducks and geese when they are dead. They marinate them and hang them up in the sun.

Liu Wenying put a few pieces of duck into the high-burning bowl, "It was killed by a live duck, so eat it with peace of mind."

Gao Ran heaved a sigh of relief, he gnawed on a duck wing, and looked for topics, "When will my cousin come back?"

Liu Wenying took a bite, "Tomorrow afternoon, I'll call her to tell her that your cousin's wedding date has been postponed, and she's going to run the business right away. She doesn't even care about her younger brother getting married."

The words are full of complaints.

Gao Ran said, "My cousin's business is very hard."

Liu Wenying said, "Which line of work is not hard? The important thing is to have a good attitude. Your cousin can't do it. I told her not to work so hard. She won't listen. Xiao Ran, tell me, can you make all the money in one go?" ?”

Gao Ran shook his head, "No."

Liu Wenying sighed, "Health should be the first priority, without health, nothing is worth talking about."

Gao Ran said with a smile, "Yeah, the body is the capital of revolution."

Liu Wenying said, "That's the reason."

After dinner, Gao Ran went to Daddy's house, and did what his father told him to do. He was left behind and ate half of the vegetable melon, and walked slowly to Daddy's house.

The village is very quiet at night, and fireflies are dancing.

Gao Ran caught one and let go.

There was a coughing sound not far away, and the coughing was quite severe. Gao Ran walked over and stood in front of the door to say hello, "Uncle Qi."

Qi Laosan had an itchy throat, and his face flushed from coughing, he wiped his face to catch his breath, "It's Xiao Ran, come, come, come and have a drink with Uncle Qi."

Gao Ran said with a grin, "My dad won't let me drink."

Qi Laosan laughed loudly, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, your father has nothing to do with it."

Gao Ran hesitated, "Then shall I have a drink?"

Drink some wine, maybe you can sleep better at night.

"come."

Qi Laosan entered the room and took the cup, "Stop standing, sit down!"

In Gao Ran's memory, Qi Laosan likes to be greedy for petty gains, and he always borrows things from other people's homes for things he has at home, always like that.

Others didn't give him a good face, and his words were ugly. He acted like a normal person, and he will come back next time.

This time, he was a little more generous, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

After taking a sip of wine, Gao Ran's face turned into a pepper, and his neck was red.

Qi Laosan smacked his mouth, "Drinking capacity is practiced, Xiao Ran, you can't do it, you have to practice."

Gao Ran stopped drinking, and his stomach was burning, "Uncle Qi, Crazy Li yelled all night last night, saying that there was a person standing in the big pond, and in the morning he called the evil spirit again. Do you know about this?"

Qi Laosan grabbed peanuts and ate them, "I know, why don't I know, he's going crazy, and the Stove Lord has nothing to do with it."

"Your dad still works as an electrician?"

The topic was diverted, Gao Ran pouted, "I'm doing it."

Third Qi raised his head and drank a big mouthful of wine, his mouth was full of alcohol, "When will your Uncle Qi go to the county to have a look..."

There were shouts in the room, calling Qi Laosan to come back to sleep.

When Gao Ran left, he took some peanuts.

The light at the door was on, and the mosquitoes had a meeting under the light, discussing where to go for a big fight tonight.

He took a high breath, and there was still a taste in his mouth.

Liu Wenying didn't sleep, she was sitting in the main room peeling mung beans, "Xiao Ran, have you brought any clothes? If you don't, then wear your cousin's, he is about the same size as you."

Gao Ran said, "Then I'll go wash and sleep."

Liu Wenying told him that the water was boiled and put it in a bucket, and told him to take it slowly in the kitchen.

Gao Ran said, "Auntie, maybe my cousin will be back at dawn tomorrow."

Liu Wenying sighed, "It would be nice if that was the case."

There is an earthy smell everywhere in the countryside, which cannot be covered by the fragrance of grass and trees, nor can the smell of soap.

Gao Ran rolled back and forth on his cousin's bed, scratched his head, and let out a long sigh towards the beam.

Who came to talk to me.

I have a shocking secret in my heart, I'm in a panic, I really want to tell others, but I can't, damn it, it's terrible.

Gao Ran turned over and lay on her stomach in a self-defeating manner, "I don't want to, I'll go back after drinking the wedding wine."

At three o'clock in the morning, Gao Ran got up to take a sip of cold boiled water. His bones ached from lying down, so he walked back and forth in the room.

Fuck, insomnia is terrible!

Gao Ran wailed and leaned back in the chair, waiting for the dawn.

Gao Ran stayed in the village for three days, did not do homework, did not write a diary, went out for a walk in the morning and evening, beat dates and picked big pineapple, eating and drinking.

Cousin never came back.

Someone came to the woman's house, and there was a lot of noise, and the marriage was blown.

On the morning of the fourth day, Gao Ran heard crying in a daze, as if it was his aunt. He woke up suddenly, and ran out without even thinking about putting on his shoes.

Liu Wenying lay paralyzed on the ground in front of the door, crying and shouting something, but couldn't hear clearly.

The neighbors who came around were chattering, they were comforting Liu Wenying, and their expressions were not very good.

Gao Ran heard a general idea.

The big guys pumped water all night last night, and this morning the water in the big pond was almost drained. They found a dead body tied to a stake with a thick hemp rope, and stuck straight in the middle of the pond, like It is the whole person standing in the water.

Cousin is dead.
