Reborn 1980

"Yeah. Okay." Mo Wen slowly sat on the edge of the bed, put the medicine box on his knees and asked He Zhang: "Can you get some warm water from a basin? I want to help your mother wipe it before applying the medicine. foot."

He Zhang rolled his dark eyes. He saw that his mother's ankles were swollen, the soles of her feet were stained with soil, and there were some small blood marks scratched by stones. He immediately nodded, "Okay, I'll get water."

Here Mo Wen found the potion for bruises, and He Zhang also brought water in with his small body hunched over.

Mo Wen took the basin from He Zhang's hand, turned around and ran out again. After a while, he came back with an extra towel in his hand.

"Is this a towel for wiping your feet?"

"Yes." He Zhang flicked his hand and hung the towel on Mo Wen's shoulder. Then he stood aside and watched Mo Wen clean Zheng Anan's feet, and then poured out the medicine for bruises and applied them to her swollen feet. Knead on the ankles.

After taking the medicine, Mo Wen packed the medicine box and pulled He Zhang out of Zheng Anan's bedroom. Standing at the door of the bedroom, Mo Wen was about to turn off the light. He Zhang grabbed his clothes and shook his head and said, "Don't turn off the light. I I have to turn on the light when I sleep with my mother.”

Mo Wen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you afraid that you might trip when you wake up at night and go to the toilet if you can't see the way clearly?"

He Zhang's face turned pale and his eyes were horrified as he said, "No, it's because when the lights are turned off, monsters will come to eat people."

"What does the monster look like?" Mo Wen raised the corners of his mouth and looked at him with a smile.

He thought to himself: Children are children, so easily deceived!Maybe He Zhang didn't sleep well at night, so Zheng Anan lied to him that if he didn't sleep well, a monster would come to eat him.

He Zhang ran to the bed and closed the curtains in a serious manner, then ran back and pulled Mo Wen out of Zheng Anan's room. When he went out, he deliberately opened the door of the room as wide as possible.

He pulled Mo Wen, who was full of doubts, to the sofa in the living room and asked him to sit down. He ran to close the curtains in the living room, and then ran back and sat down next to Mo Wen.

"Uncle... I have really seen monsters many times..." He Zhang changed his lively and smiling look in Yayuan just now. His little face with some baby fat became extremely serious, and he held a pair of soft little hands. Hold Morven's hand.

He Zhang's hands were cold and his eyes flashed with panic.

Seeing his reaction, Mo Wen began to pay attention to his words.Maybe he wasn't lying?Otherwise, why would he be so afraid?

Of course, Mo Wen didn't think the monster was real. He just thought, maybe He Zhang often had nightmares?Dreams are too real, so when he wakes up from nightmares, he often thinks they are things he saw in reality?

Or maybe he just saw it wrong.When the wind blows in the dead of night, under the bright white moonlight, the swaying branches and mottled light and shadow are cast on the curtains. Coupled with the children's super rich imagination, it becomes a horror movie.

Mo Wen interrupted He Zhang and spoke as softly as possible, "Have you ever thought that there are no monsters at all? The monsters are all your imagination?"

"Why don't you believe me?" He Zhang pouted, a little unhappy, "At first I told my mother that I watched Monsters, and she told me the same thing."

"..." Mo Wen smiled helplessly, "Because we believe in science. When you grow up, read a lot of books, and learn a lot of knowledge, you will understand that there are no monsters in this world. Monsters are all hearts. Demons are things created by people's own imagination. You can disbelieve your uncle's words, but you shouldn't disbelieve your mother's words, right? Isn't your mother saying the same thing as me? "

He Zhang pouted: "My mother said the same thing as you at first, but then one day she saw it and she believed it. That day, my mother's hair was so frightened that it blew up, and her screams made the people next to her laugh. Neighbors in both buildings started making trouble. At night, the lights in the neighbor's house were turned on. Many people called my mother crazy and said she was disturbing the people by staying up late at night. Some people said they would call the police if they heard her screaming again. !”

Zheng Anan also saw it?Your hair is standing on end?He had only seen cats with their fur standing on end when frightened. It turns out that people do too!It can be seen how frightened she was in her heart at that moment.

"What happened next? What did you see?" Mo Wen had to face He Zhang's words and waited nervously for He Zhang to describe what they saw.

"That day we saw a thing with long hair all over its body, like a gorilla. It was standing at the window of my house, lying on the glass and looking into the house."

"Later, we would also see people with long hair and white skirts standing in the same position looking into the room, and sometimes people with horns on their heads and a pair of black wings on their backs..."

As soon as he recalled these scenes, He Zhang shrank his calves on the sofa, his body balled up, and he shivered.

What the child said was so vivid, it was as if those scenes were unfolding before Mo Wen's eyes.

Not to mention that a child would be frightened like this, Mo Wen felt a chill running down his back after hearing this.

He also glanced at the window as a reflex, but he couldn't see anything due to the thick curtains.

He Zhang was still trembling. Mo Wen put his hand on He Zhang's shoulder and patted him gently, "Okay, we don't want those scenes anymore. Why don't you tell me how you and your mother dealt with this? To do something?"

Mo Wen's palms were very warm. He Zhang was now greedy to absorb some warmth. The warmth in Mo Wen's hands alone was not enough. He plunged into Mo Wen's arms and hugged him with a pair of small hands. Mo Wen asked softly from his waist: "Uncle, can you let me hold you for a while?"

"..." Mo Wen coaxed Mo Lei a lot, and Mo Lei was similar in age to He Zhang. Although he didn't have children himself, he was relatively good at communicating with and coaxing children.

Mo Wen put his arm on He Zhang's back, making him feel more secure, "Okay, you can hug me as long as you want."

He Zhang looked up at Mo Wen and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, do you think I'm worthless? I'm a man. I can't protect my mother. I'm so timid myself."

"No, how could it be? You have done a good job and you are good at taking care of your mother. Uncle will help you find out the truth about the monster."

"Really?" He Zhang's innocent eyes were filled with hope.

"Really. But you have to tell uncle, when does the monster usually appear? Apart from standing at the window, has he ever hurt you?"

"Apart from making us scared, it didn't hurt us. At first, my mother thought it was a problem with the house. She took me to a hotel for a while. The hotel room was on a high floor. We didn't see monsters in the windows, but there were always monsters in the middle of the night. A knock on the door woke us up. Mom said that since we can't hide, we won't hide. If we see something, we'll pretend we didn't see it. If we hear it, we'll pretend we didn't hear it."
