For students, winter vacation is definitely a vacation to let themselves go, but for Wei Yan, it is just a study in another place.
Because the family does not have extra money to buy all kinds of study materials for her, so in addition to borrowing classmates to copy, she also likes to spend time in the only Xinhua Bookstore in the county - not only there are all kinds of study guide books, but also There are many literary works, encyclopedic knowledge, and there is air conditioning in the Xinhua Bookstore, how wonderful!
In fact, there are quite a few cases like them. After all, even if the family’s financial conditions are good, it is impossible to buy back all the books in the bookstore. Therefore, every holiday, there are teenagers and girls in the Xinhua Bookstore who come to read books every day, especially Wei Wei. Yan Yan and the others are mainly junior high school students.
The Xinhua Bookstore in the county usually closes at 05 o'clock, so Wei Yan and the others usually come out at 30:1. It's not that they don't want to stay in the last minute, but it gets dark early in winter, and street lights are not popular now, especially when returning to the village from the county. so basically everyone will count the time and hurry while there is still light.
Although Wei Yan moved away from the countryside, his father, Wei Hongliang, was the only one in the family who set up food stalls early in the morning, so the economy was not rich. The house rented by the Wei family was also at the junction of the county town and the countryside. one direction.

"Yanyan, I heard that your brother has been discharged from the hospital?" It was Wei Yan's classmate Jiang Tian who spoke. Although she is very good-looking, her younger sister is not only outstanding in appearance, but also has good academic performance, so she is quite "famous" in their middle school.
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Wei Yan's face: "Jiang Tian, why are you asking this?"
Jiang Tian didn't answer, but another girl, Liu Dandan, snickered: "Oh, I must be concerned! Your brother is one of the high school grassroots in our middle school! You don't play with other female students very much, so you may not know, but he has many As for the girl's dream lover, everyone says he is just like Chu Lengfeng!"
Wei Yan was stunned by the "dream lover": "Chu Lengfeng...who is it?"
"Hey, Yanyan, you really don't listen to things outside the window, and you only read sage books! Chu Lengfeng is the hero in "The Devil's Prince Don't Try to Escape"!" Jiang Tian said with a dreamy expression while holding her face.
Liu Dandan also answered quickly: "Yes, although he skipped classes, fought, and smoked, he was handsome and he was very kind to Tian Rui'er!"
"Stop, stop, I know what you're talking about."
Wei Yan couldn't help sighing—she knew that Wanwan romance idol dramas and novels were popular among girls in junior high school. In the novels, there were always conflicts between the villainous male protagonist and the silly, sweet and ordinary female protagonist. A sweet and sour emotional story.
Therefore, although he didn't learn how to fight well, Wei Yan, who had a good face, was probably automatically brought into the role image of a bad actor by these little girls.
But what she wanted to say was that Wei Yanzhen didn't have the potential to become the hero of the novel...
But a second before she could speak, Wei Yan, who had seen full marks in the papers she brought with her that day, suddenly appeared in her mind, and Wei Yan, who had been writing hard at home after being discharged from the hospital these days...
Suddenly, I felt that if it was Wei Yan, who was good-looking and a top student, he would really capture the hearts of little girls, right?
"Ah!" Wei Yan was thinking in a trance, when he was suddenly startled by a scream, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Jiang Tian and Liu Dandan looked scared: "Then, there is something dark moving over there!"
※※※
In the direction that Wei Yan and the others went back, it was the old town of Yuankou County. The houses here are basically self-built houses that are decades old, and the people who live here are basically either poor or old. The relatively large ones are basically closed when it gets dark.Therefore, a little movement suddenly appeared, and it would really scare the timid people.
Wei Yan: "Is it a cat or a dog?"
"No, I see, it's bigger than cats and dogs!" Jiang Tian's voice trembled a little.
"That's a human, right? If it's a human, you won't be afraid." Wei Yan comforted the two students. She usually read a lot of books, and she didn't really believe in the rumors of strange powers and gods in the countryside. While talking, she observed that they were going to go there. Diagonally across from there is a figure.
Liu Dandan pursed her lips: "That's not necessarily true, if it's a bum..."
Jiang Tian froze: "There are three of us! At worst, call for help!"
Wei Yan was silent for a while, and said: "Don't scare yourself, I think the other party is just burning paper money..."
"Burning paper money?"
"Well, I saw that he took a pile of yellow paper and incense." As Wei Yan's voice fell, a pinch of orange flames lit up there.
In the countryside, from time to time, things are burned in the fields, most of which are straw or weeds, and occasionally paper money is burned.
From time to time, children who go to school in the countryside will see a pile of burnt black paper money, a few sticks of incense and candles, and a specially broken blue and white porcelain bowl beside the field slope of the country road. .
But this kind of behavior of burning paper money is particular, and generally it can only be burned in one’s own field, because rural people are very particular about the sense of territory, especially their own land, if they find outsiders burning paper money in their own sky, That is tantamount to recruiting ghosts, tantamount to bringing bad luck to oneself, ranging from quarrels to severe head bleeding.
Hearing this, Jiang Tian and Liu Dandan breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh..." Immediately, they realized that they were a little too frightened... and they still scared themselves, and showed a dry smile in embarrassment: "Heh, heh..."
Wei Yan looked at the appearance of the two of them, and shook his head helplessly: "You should read less horror stories and ghost stories at ordinary times!"
Wei Yan knew that besides the domineering/evil/devil/prince and Cinderella's sour-sweet love novels, it was also popular to read ghost stories published in monthly novels, either long or short. Wei Yan Yan also read two articles, but she read them with a critical eye. She only felt that there were many loopholes in them. in.
Jiang Tian and Liu Dandan looked at each other, a little embarrassed and a little disapproving - they don't read romance novels, don't read horror stories, don't gossip, don't like beauty... They think that Wei Yan is not like a normal junior high school girl.
"Should we take a detour? So as not to disturb 'those'." Jiang Tian whispered.
Her parents worked in other places, and she lived with her grandparents since she was a child. Naturally, she was deeply influenced by the older generation.
The older generation in the countryside are very superstitious, believe in gods and ghosts, and often attribute some unexplainable phenomena to strange forces and chaos.
Although she has read books now and knows to talk about science, the influence on her thinking since she was a child is not so easy to eradicate.
For example, at this moment, after discovering that someone else was burning the paper money, she felt that there were ghosts nearby, but these ghosts were relatives of the person who burned the paper money, and they would ignore strangers, but if a living person If you offend them, you will be in bad luck.
Compared to Jiang Tian's timidity, Liu Dandan is much more courageous: "Detour? This is the only way we go home. If we want to make a detour, we have to go back and walk for more than 20 minutes. It will be early in the morning." Not to mention it’s dark, there are several internet cafes, billiard rooms and a roller skating rink over there, those idlers who have nothing to do like to gather there, if they encounter something, it’s really not worth it!”
Wei Yan doesn't care, but he doesn't agree to change his course just because of burning paper money: "Didn't we all burn paper money at home during the festivals and Qingming Festival?"
Jiang Tian muttered in a low voice: "That's different, it's 'one of my own'." After a pause, she added weakly: "My mother-in-law said that ghosts have their own yin energy, even if they have no intention of harming others, Living people will also damage their yang energy if they touch it, especially our daughters are more yin energy..."
Liu Dandan pretended not to hear Jiang Tian's words: "I have to go back to make dinner. If I'm late, I'm afraid my parents will scold me."
Jiang Tian: "...Then?" She just felt a little creepy in her heart, no matter what the circumstances, she would be a little scared when she saw something involving the dead.
"Okay, okay, if you hesitate again, we won't care about you!" Liu Dandan simply grabbed Jiang Tian and interrupted her.
Jiang Tian felt a little wronged, she didn't mean it, and was about to defend herself, Wei Yan said: "The person who burned the paper money is gone, let's go!"
Jiang Tian and the others looked over subconsciously, and sure enough, the person in the old blue-gray cotton coat with his back to them was about to leave the fire, and he was walking away from them.
Seeing this, Wei Yan simply pulled one with each hand: "It's a normal thing to burn paper money. It's to pay homage to the dead relatives. It should be a kind of mourning. Why are you making it so scary? If there are really ghosts in the world If you don’t, it’s because people who have done bad things are afraid. There is a saying in the ancients – don’t do bad things in your life, and don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night. We are a new generation growing up under the red flag, and we have righteousness in our hearts!”
Jiang Tian: "Pfft."
Liu Dandan: "Hahaha."
Wei Yan's face darkened, and he tried to shake them off: "What are you laughing at?"
The two quickly grabbed Wei Yan: "No, we think you are so cute~"
Wei Yan, who had never been praised for being cute, was a little uncomfortable, but his tone was much gentler because of the joy in his heart: "Okay, let's go quickly! We have to go back to eat."
After such an interruption, the girls' moods became much brighter.However, when the three of them held hands and soon arrived at the place where the paper money was just burned, Jiang Tian and Wei Yan subconsciously speeded up, intending to pass quickly with breathless concentration and without squinting.
Just at this time, a gust of night wind blew away the pile of ashes, and the half-burned little paper figurine was also blown out, falling right on the ground in front of them.
Liu Dandan seemed to show his boldness, so he poked his head into the pile of ashes that hadn't been burnt out: "Hey, look, it's not just paper money, but also some villains... Wow or A doll in a dress! Oh, it’s hand-painted, it’s so ugly!”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a slight explosion sound in the ashes with a little spark. Before the three girls could react, the little paper man floated in front of Liu Dandan. The rough facial features that had been sketched casually The top is black, only the mouth part is outlined with good red paint.
"Ah!" Liu Dandan waved his hand without thinking, and the little paper figurine, which was still in half, turned into powder under such a blow.
Wei Yan: "..."
Jiang Tian was silent for a moment: "Let's go!"
This time even Liu Dandan didn't say anything, and lowered his head while covering his hands that seemed to be burned just now.
※※※
Although some time was delayed because of the burning of paper money, but because the three girls in the back subconsciously walked faster, when Wei Yan arrived home, it was about the same time as usual.
It was not yet time for Wei Hongliang to close the stall, but Wei Yan looked in the direction of their house, and there was a faint yellow light in the dark room before, that was because Wei Yan was at home now, not as before. Goof around outside.
The corner of her mouth raised a small arc that she didn't even notice, and she was about to take out the key to open the door, but the door was opened from the inside, and Wei Yan in the room looked at her with dark eyes.
The author has something to say: Happy New Year's Day, little fairies! Love you love you in 2020~
By the way, I just noticed today when I received a call from my grandfather in my hometown. It turns out that there is only one day difference between Shazi’s birthdays in the new calendar and the old calendar this year. It’s really a coincidence~
Regarding burning paper money, although Shazi has settled down in Chengdu now, every Chinese New Year and July and a half, people will still see piles of paper money being burned in the woods under the overpass. What I didn’t think of two years ago is that it’s time to get off work at night Suddenly seeing a ball of fire flickering in the darkness, I was really scared into a cold sweat.
Burning paper money is quite particular, such as where to burn it, how much it is, what you say when you burn it, what you call your ancestors, and the placement of joss sticks when you burn it... I remember it in the old Hong Kong movies. , there are many shots of burning paper money, which still looks quite creepy.
