marry a ghost

Wei Ning's mother was wiping her tears with the back of her hand while stuttering to Wei Ning about what happened that day.

The road conditions were bad the day before yesterday, Wei Ning's car crashed into a tree on the side of the road, and he passed out on the spot. Knowing what would happen, she lay down for two whole days, but Mother Wei, who had been waiting at the entrance of the village since she knew her son was coming back, was so frightened that she almost lost her mind.

Speaking of this, Mother Wei clasped her hands together and murmured to God, it is all thanks to the blessings of the Bodhisattva and ancestors. When you are in better health, you must go to the village temple and the cemetery to pay homage and fulfill your vows.When Wei's mother finished speaking, she turned her head, and saw Wei Ning's eyes were terrified, her face was pale, and she didn't notice what she said at all.

Wei Ning grabbed his mother's hand, "Mom, you mean I was in my car at the time?"

Wei's mother looked at him strangely, "If you're not in your own car, where else would you be in?" She suddenly remembered something, her face changed, and she stretched out her hand to touch Wei Ning's forehead, "Oh no, it's not because you were hit. Is it the end? No, no, I still have to go to the hospital for an examination, if there is any root cause of this disease, it will be serious."

Wei Ning saw his mother turning around in a hurry, and quickly grabbed his mother, "Mom, I'm fine, I just asked, I just woke up, and my mind hasn't turned the corner yet."

"Really, you didn't lie to me?" Mother Wei said hesitantly.

"Really, I can't lie to you if I lie to anyone." Wei Ning vowed.

Wei Ning moved his arms and legs, it didn't hurt or itch, and he didn't seem to be injured. He tried to sit up with the support of the bed, and it went smoothly.Mother Wei looked at him nervously, "How is it? Does it hurt?" Wei Ning shook his head, "It's fine." He stepped on the ground, stood up, and took two steps, "You Look, I'm fine." Wei's mother breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine, it's fine, you rest for a while, and I'll cook." Wei Ning nodded and watched his mother leave the room.

He is in his car?Had a car accident?Then, did the ghost car he encountered at that time happen for real or appeared in a nightmare?Wei Ning shook his head, he was almost confused, this time he came across such a bizarre thing, so that Wei Ning's heart was covered with a thick layer of haze.He thought, quickly take care of the house, and then go back to the city to find a job.His meager savings and mortgage payments won't last long.

Nothing in the room had changed at all, just like when he left, except that the furniture looked a little older.The bed, desk, wardrobe, and two chairs are all the furniture in his room. There are posters of his favorite NBA stars on the wall, but the posters are a little yellowed and the edges are a little curled up.These are the traces left by the years.

There were still his high school textbooks on the desk, neatly stacked, Wei Ning felt sour after reading it.

Just when Wei Ning was feeling ups and downs and couldn't help himself, Wei's mother called him at the door and asked him to come out for dinner.

There are fish and meat in the food, all of which are smoked, and the fragrance is overflowing. Wei Ning's mother picks out the fish and meat with chopsticks and puts them in Wei Ning's bowl, saying, "Eat more, see what you are doing." It's so skinny outside." Wei Ning nodded quickly, and put down his chopsticks until he was almost full after a meal.

After eating, Wei Ning touched his belly, told his mother, and went out for a walk.

Weizhuang is a small village that is not even marked on the map.

It is located in a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, and a stream runs through it, dividing the valley in two.The people of Weizhuang live by the water, and most of them live on the east side of the small stream, near the mouth of the valley. Only the village head Wei Qiye and his family live on the west side of the small stream, near the mouth of the mountain.

The valley is densely forested and the grass is dense. I don’t know which generation of Weizhuang’s ancestors planted pagoda trees in the valley. After a hundred years, the pagoda trees grow up, covering the sky and blocking the sun, even in hot weather. In summer, it is also cool and pleasant.

There are only about two hundred people in Wei Zhuang. From the beginning to the end of the village, everyone knows each other's family - all the people in Wei Zhuang are surnamed Wei.I don't know when a branch of the Wei surname migrated here and multiplied.Wei Ning peeked at the genealogy left in the village temple. At the very beginning, there were only two names of a man and a woman on the first page. They were written in correct and elegant cursive. They were the ancestors of their branch. After that, it lasted for fifteen generations.One Wei family after another was born here and died here, and it became a veritable "Wei Family Village". In addition, locust trees are planted everywhere in the valley. The locust tree is similar to Wei, so it is called "Wei Village". .

When Wei Ning left Weizhuang and went to the town to study in high school, he realized that the people in the nearby villages and towns were a little secretive about Weizhuang, secretly calling Weizhuang a "ghost village". This was a good classmate of Wei Ning at the time. When chatting with him, I told him as a joke.

Only Wei Ning, after hearing it, kept it in his heart.

Wei Ning greeted the people around him as he walked. Uncles, uncles, aunts and aunts called over one by one. Walking on the bluestone pavement was still so leisurely. The houses on both sides were those old-fashioned buildings left over from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There is a decayed taste in the simplicity, if outsiders see it, they will exclaim in surprise, the ancient buildings here are really well preserved, for Wei Ning, who is used to seeing these since childhood, what he noticed was these appearances It looks like the same building, but inside it has changed a lot.

Looking in from the open door, you can see furniture or furnishings such as sofas, refrigerators, and color TVs, which are incompatible with the entire building, but they fit perfectly.

Wei Ning sighed, after all nothing remains the same.

After the villagers asked the truth and dispersed in satisfaction, Wei Ning walked slowly towards the stream.This stream across the valley was his favorite place to go.Wei Ning stood by the stream, looking at the wooden bridge three meters away from him. The wooden bridge, like Weizhuang, has a long history and a long history.The whole body of the wooden bridge is dark. I don’t know when it was built, and I don’t know what kind of wood is used. I only know that it has been used since it was built. come out.

Wei Ning thought about how many times he ran back and forth on this bridge, surrounded by the screams and laughter of the children in the village, always forgetting to go home on time, and when the adults in the village came to find someone, he would inevitably suffer a meal "Stir-fried pork with bamboo strips", even if it is like this, next time, I still remember to eat but not to beat.

Thinking of this, the corners of Wei Ning's mouth curled up.

The smile stopped before it reached his face, Wei Ning remembered the child who had been looking at him.

That child is obviously only three years younger than him, but because he is extremely thin, he looks five years younger than him, and there are many more. He is in poor health and has been sick all year round. When he passed by the door of his house with his friends, he could see the child lying by the window, looking at him with envy, longing and admiration——there were a dozen friends in a bunch, so The child kept staring at him.

This made Wei Ning's little heart both complacent and troubled - he always felt that he should do something.

In fact, he wasn't the only one who noticed the child, other friends also noticed.The child is weak, but he has a very beautiful face, pale skin, bright red lips, deep eyes, the colors are extremely contrasting, he is a hundred times or a thousand times prettier than those girls in the village, the adults say This child was cast in the wrong womb. It should have been a girl but was born a boy. Yin and Yang are incompatible and will always get sick.

Wei Ning also overheard an old man in the village saying that the child would not live to be an adult.

Later——then the old man was right, the child did not live to adulthood, but the old man did not expect that the child did not die of illness, but was drowned by the spring flood.

This is the biggest secret in Wei Ning's heart, the secret that has made him fearful and guilty for more than ten years, and no one knows that he killed the child.

He was already 15 years old at that time, and he felt that he was already an adult. When he passed by the child's house that day, he saw the child lying on the window sill looking out pitifully. The window sill was not fully opened, only one I was afraid that the wind would blow in and make the child catch cold.When Wei Ning walked over, the child's eyes brightened instantly, Wei Ning was affected by this gaze, and he couldn't move.

He stood there for a while, finally made up his mind, and walked over to the window of the child's house.

The closer Wei Ning got, the brighter the child's gaze became. In the end, it seemed as if it was going to burn through the entire window. He stretched out his hand, slammed the entire window, and stretched out most of his body, "You, you— —” the kid stammered.

Wei Ning was taken aback by him, but he was a little timid. That child is so good-looking. With him looking at him like this, Wei Ning didn't know which foot he should lift first. Besides, just like this, the child He coughed twice, and two sickly crimson streaks bloomed on his pale face, like peach blossoms that are about to fail.

In embarrassment, he pretended to scratch his hair, "Well, Wei Xi, you, you, do you want to go play with me?"

Yes, Wei Ning remembered, that child was originally called Wei Xi.

There is a rule in Wei Zhuang that children who die before the age of 15 cannot use the surname Wei, so only the words "Axi's Tomb" are engraved on his tombstone.

After hearing this, Wei Xi clasped the window sill with her pale hands, and nodded frantically, "I'm going, I'm going, Brother Aning will take me there."

Wei Ning, who had already hesitated and regretted a little in his soft and tender voice, could no longer utter the words of rejection under such eager eyes and voice.He was standing by the window sill, Wei Xi climbed onto the window sill, and jumped out——Wei Ning was startled by his reckless behavior, and quickly reached out to catch him, and pressed his thin body against his chest, "You want to scare me?" Dead man, what if I don’t catch the jump like this? Your mother will beat me to death if she finds out.” Wei Ning said angrily to Wei Xi, who was holding his neck with both hands and laughing non-stop.

Wei Xi's mother wanted nothing for her son. No one in the village dared to gossip about Wei Xi in front of her. As long as she heard it, there would definitely be a catastrophe. Unless the family apologized, Otherwise, never quit.Thinking of this, Wei Ning trembled in his heart, and hesitated again about taking Wei Xi out to play.

Wei Xi raised his head, "Brother Aning will catch me, I know." He was resolute, as if he believed in Wei Ning.

Wei Ning looked at him dumbfounded, forget it, everyone is already in his hands, so he took him for a walk around, it was just a joke.
