brother of space

Everything in the world follows a law of balance. When your luck goes against the sky, it may soon be your unlucky time.

To use an idiom to sum it up, that is—extreme joy begets sorrow!

Of course, there may be exceptions!For example, who knows if some people are God's favorite?Who knew that some of the so-called unlucky people were actually put to death to survive?How can we know that it is not a blessing if it is a blessing in disguise?

Just like Zhang Jin at this moment, but at this moment, Zhang Jin has no time to mourn the spring and autumn, worrying about whether he will be unlucky after good luck.He was troubled right now.

The walk-behind tractor was running on the uneven gravel road with a "da da da" sound. Compared with the energetic grandfather Zhang who was driving, the four grandchildren in the truck were already sleeping in the dark.

There is no way, the big explosion the day before, and I got up early this morning, everything is fresh now, not to mention energetic young men, even adults who work all year round will not be able to bear it.

Of course, there are exceptions.For example, Zhang Jin, who is also climbing on the color TV box, cannot fall asleep.Although he was also very sleepy, the images constantly flashing in his mind made his cerebral cortex very active.

He doesn't know what's going on?If he recalled it carefully, it seemed that it should have happened when he received the award, because at that time, besides the pain from being blasted by firecrackers, he also felt the heat in his chest, and then the jade pendant...

Could it be that there are ghosts or monsters hiding in that jade pendant?

Reminiscent of the Liaozhai, Hong Kong and Taiwan movies I watched before, and the ghost stories told by the old women in the village, Zhang Jin couldn't help shivering, and unconsciously leaned on the elder brother beside him.

But then he thought of something again, and hurriedly shrunk his body as hard as he could, not letting his elder brother, younger brother and younger sister touch him.Because according to what he played on TV, he should be a ghost now. If he is next to the elder brother, younger brother, or younger sister, will the ghost run on them?

Zhang Jin couldn't imagine such a result. You must know that it was true. According to what was shown on TV, everyone would definitely find that he was possessed by a ghost and then infected others.

Then, then, when such a situation appeared on TV, the man with the upper body was either burned to death or sent to a mental hospital.And these two, no matter which one he didn't want.

With the activation of the cerebral cortex, Zhang Jin was horrified to find that he was probably possessed by several monsters, because the picture was still picking medicine and making alchemy among famous mountains and rivers, and reading a book in a strange place different from reality. The next moment he saw the future again.

It is really the future, because there is a clear time in the picture in my mind, for example, one of the time is 2008, and now it is only 1998.

Zhang Jin didn't know what to do, and after thinking about it, he would never tell his parents about such a thing, because it was shown on TV. Many times, under such circumstances, parents would take their children to mental illness for the sake of their children. courtyard.

Is it possible to go to a place like a mental hospital?If he really went there, not to mention the embarrassment, people would probably call him crazy when he went out in the future, and maybe he wouldn't even be able to go to college.

and so……

So just wait to die?According to the plot of TV or folklore, he will definitely be killed by a ghost after that, and then replaced by him——.

Is he dying?

Although he once thought about dying because he felt that his mother was partial and his grandfather was too annoying many times, but it seemed embarrassing to be replaced by a ghost and to be known by others.

There are many strange pictures in my mind, and it is also very chaotic.It feels like ancient times for a while, and modern times for a while.But all of this gradually dissipated after an hour or two of rushing forward.Soon Zhang Jin found that as long as he didn't think about it deliberately, basically those 'horrible' pictures would never appear again.

Such a situation gave Zhang Jin a lot of peace of mind. At least he felt that, in this case, perhaps the ghost was a good one and would not kill him for the time being.

Hearing that jade can exorcise evil spirits, Zhang Jin thought cautiously, or go back to find grandpa to wear it, in this case, maybe ghosts can't come out easily...

"Second brother, second brother..." In a daze, Zhang Jin heard the younger sister's voice, and then his arm was pulled hard, and then the elder brother's voice sounded.

"Second brother, second child, come down quickly, are you reluctant?"

"What are you arguing about?" This is Zhang's mother's voice, "The third child is going to see if your uncle and uncle are at home. If not, is there anyone in the house? Tell them, we will kill pigs today, and let their whole family kill pigs tonight." come over."

"Kill the pig!" Zhang Laosan shouted in surprise, "Mom, are you serious?"

"Don't make a fuss, hurry up." Mother Zhang waved her hands away like mosquitoes, driving away her youngest son.Then he slowed down his voice again, and said as he started, "Second brother, get up quickly, I'm going to sleep at your grandfather's house."

"Hmm..." Zhang Jin raised her head in a daze, and saw the gate of the yard she was familiar with, and then saw her grandfather walking out of the yard with a smile.

"Father, you can show the second child later, I think he seems to be frightened today." Mother Zhang said to the father who came out.

Grandpa Zhang raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhang Jin who was sitting in the back of the car in a daze, and waved after the other party's eyes became clear: "Come here."

Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment, and then got up from the back of the car. Perhaps his buttocks and legs were a little numb after sitting for too long.

Fortunately, Zhang's mother was close enough to support her.

"Is the leg numb?" Zhang's mother said with a smile.

Zhang Jin nodded embarrassedly.

Grandpa Zhang found a stool at random, and felt his grandson's pulse at the gate of the yard, but Zhang Jin, who was walking past, suddenly hesitated when he thought of something.

"You won't be really scared, right?" Seeing his grandson's hesitation, Grandpa Zhang simply moved quickly and grabbed the man's wrist. After a while, his eyes were a little complicated and disgusted, and he said, "Or As for boys, they will be scared in broad daylight."

Well!Zhang Jin blushed, but he was relieved.

"Are you really scared?" Dad Zhang came out of the room and said with a funny tone.

Mother Zhang stepped forward and scolded: "What are you gloating about? You don't know that our second child is afraid of standing on high places. If you haven't seen the firecrackers today, let's fry them next to the bamboo rafts, next to the soles of the feet, and even draw prizes." Everyone covered their ears and hid far away."

When Grandpa Zhang heard it, he seemed to think of the situation at that time. His grandson was already a little afraid of heights. Coupled with the crackling firecrackers around him, it is estimated that the bamboo raft bridge was still loosely tied. Even adults would be shocked when they were blown up. , let alone children.

After calming down, Grandpa Zhang patted Zhang Jin on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, I'll get you a sachet, you can sleep again, and you'll be fine after dinner."

Zhang Jin didn't speak, and followed his grandfather with his head down.

As for those who watched the fun, after learning that there will be meat tonight, and the winners were inexplicably frightened, they felt a lot more balanced in an instant.This prize is not so easy to win, look, this second child is not scared!

As for Zhang Jin's family suddenly wanting to kill a pig, it is natural that the grandpa who will do it deliberately explained it after his daughter and son-in-law came back early. Get it home, and if you calculate it comprehensively, it is equivalent to picking up more than 1 yuan for nothing!In this poor and backward mountain village, anyone who looks at it will be jealous.

Not to mention that Zhang Jin's family has long been passive in the village because all three sons are in school and have good grades.

The father and son of the Zhang family have been doing carpentry work outside all year round, and they have seen the world, so they naturally understand such a situation.So when Grandpa Zhang came back, a few people gathered together and simply killed the pig raised by the family that was going to be sold during the Chinese New Year. Anyway, with this grand prize, their family will not need to buy anything for many years to come.

Moreover, when a [-]-pound pig is sold for the New Year, it costs only a few hundred yuan, which used to be a lot of money. Compared with the motorcycle, tractor or color TV that the family just got, it is really a drop in the bucket, and it is estimated that ten pigs can be exchanged. Not one of them.

After eating for three days in a row, it can be regarded as gagging some people's mouths, at least the words will not be so ugly on the surface.Even though there are still many people in the village who are jealous and envious, but they are short-sighted, after eating the Zhang family's meal, if they want to show some face, they will not invite a small group of people to gossip in person or behind the scenes.

It is estimated that Zhang's mother told Grandpa Zhang when she came back early, so when Zhang Jin returned to Grandpa's house, Grandpa not only made a soothing sachet, but also gave him a simple white jade pendant.

"Since I gave it to you, the others should be angry if they don't give it." Grandpa never concealed anything from Zhang Jin. "You were young before, and if you dropped this thing, it would be ruined. Now that you are older, It’s okay to wear it.” While talking, he took another three jade rings and clasped them in his hands, “You have a good rest, don’t think about it, I’ll have someone call you when you’re eating.”

"Oh!" Zhang Jin nodded, but she didn't go to sleep immediately. Instead, she put the sachet in the house, took a warm shower in the backyard, and then entered the house.

Smelling the familiar fragrance of medicinal herbs, Zhang Jin slept very peacefully this time. She was still worried about whether the ghost would come to him in her dream to fulfill her wish. However, the ghost did not come, but he made a very wonderful dream. dream.

In his dream, he came to a pension place he had dreamed of, where there were houses, chickens and ducks, bamboo forests, ponds, fields and orchards, etc.

The house is a simple wooden structure house, a bit like the big house of his grandfather's family where he lives now.There are not many chickens and ducks, but there are also many. They are very good at laying eggs, and I don’t know how long they haven’t picked them up.

In the bamboo forest, you can vaguely see the fresh and tender bamboo shoots with a small corner. The pond is like a lake, with endless green lotus leaves in the sky and red lotus flowers reflecting the sun.

In the field, there are rice, wheat, corn, peanuts and all the crops he has seen, as well as vegetables and fruits. Zhang Jin wondered vaguely, why did rice and wheat appear in the same place?But he didn't have time to pursue it, because soon he saw a garden full of apples, oranges, pears, peaches, grapes, etc.

The apple looks like a fake, crystal red and bright, pick it up and eat it, it's very sweet, it feels like drinking honey water with apple flavor, but it's not greasy, it's very refreshing and makes people want to eat it Zhang Jin picked a lot of fruit like a monkey breaking corn, but when she finally walked out of the orchard, she found that she only had two peaches in her hand.

Do you want to go back and pick some?Dad, grandpa and grandpa all love oranges...

Zhang Jin was hesitating whether to find a plastic bag or a basket to pick fruit, when he heard a clear voice in his ear.

"Brother, where did you get the peaches? Oh! So sweet!"

The sudden voice woke Zhang Jin up from her dream.When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Laosan standing at the head of the bed, very close at hand.
