July [-]th, Ghost Festival.

We have the custom of visiting graves and burning paper during the Ghost Festival.

Today, our family has made an appointment to burn paper at the graves to pay homage to our ancestors.

But I got up late and couldn't go with my family.

I arrived late and didn't see my family when I arrived at the cemetery. There were weeds half as tall as a person around me, and each of the graves looked old.

It should be here!

The location my sister sent me seems to be here.

But why can't we see them?

There was a wind blowing, and the sultry warm wind made me sweat all over. I didn't care. It was probably because my sister met someone she knew and started chatting with them.

My sister is a good person. When she meets a stranger, she can become an old friend within 3 minutes.

Take out the paper money used for sacrifices and lay out the tributes.

I drew a circle in front of the grave and lit the burning paper. With the help of the sultry wind, the paper burned quickly.

While waiting for the paper ashes to burn out, I began to unpack the tributes and sprinkle some for the ancestors.

"Thank you"

"You're welcome" I replied casually.

and many more!

Who, who's talking to me?

I was stunned, stood up suddenly, and looked around. There was endless grass.

There are also small graves buried in a triangle under the grass.

It was a family grave. The ancestors of the family were buried at the top, and then the descendants were buried in order, one row for each generation.

There is only one small grave under my feet.

There are no tombs on it and no other tombs below, indicating that there are no ancestors or descendants! !

The place where the tributes were placed seemed to be half of the tombstone exposed, and I was still stepping on a corner of the tombstone.

My brain suddenly became confused.

An idea flashed through my mind.

Damn it, I went to the wrong grave.

Jingle Bell!

My cell phone rang.

It was my sister who called, "Hey! Sister, where are you?"

"I also want to ask you where you have been. Everyone is here and waiting for you! Where have you gone? Come over to our cemetery quickly."

I was completely dumbfounded.

You really went to the wrong grave.

"Sister" I carefully glanced at the graves at my feet, "Where is our cemetery group? Is it the location you sent me?"

"Ah! Yes! Have you arrived?"

"Oh! It's almost here." I muttered guiltily.

After hanging up the call, I clicked on the location sent by my sister.

His pupils suddenly widened.

how so? I saw that I was at the position just now, but now I am 300 meters away from the position?

Omg!

What a hell.

I hastily packed up the tributes and quickly left this evil place.

After that, I went to my family’s graveyard again, but I didn’t even mention the fact that I went to the wrong grave and burned the wrong paper.

I am also a very face-conscious person.

I won't say such an embarrassing thing.

It was already noon when I got home after burning the paper.

We have a big family, my dad is the only son, but he has many cousins ​​in his family! They all gathered at grandma's house.

It's rare for a big family to get together in such a complete way. The lunch was as lively as the Chinese New Year.

After discussing this excitement, we children decided to stay at grandma’s house tonight.

So that night I spent the night at my grandma’s house.

But that night, something happened to me.

While I was half asleep, I was woken up by the urine. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and slid down from the earthen bed.

Grandma's house is an old house, and the people sleeping at home are still earthen kangs. It is very comfortable when it is warm in winter and cool in summer, but it is a bit hard.

Drowsily, I kicked off my slippers and walked outside. I faintly heard my sister ask, "What are you doing?"

"Go to the bathroom." I replied to her.

Then he left the room.

Grandma's house is at the foot of a mountain, with mountains and woods behind it, which makes summer nights at her house very cool.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and I actually felt very cold, as if I had entered an ice cellar.

I looked around in confusion, rubbed my arms and muttered, "The dog days in my hometown are really cool here."

Freeze people.

After settling all the important matters in my life, I came out of the hut.

My eyes lit up and I saw many people holding bench flashlights walking past my grandma's house in groups.

The gate of my grandma's yard is a fence, and the top of the wall is also a one-meter-high stone wall. I can see what's going on outside by standing on my tiptoes.

What are these villagers doing up until midnight?

I'm not a curious person, but I couldn't help but ask through the wall, "Hey! Where are you going?"

The woman outside the wall heard my voice and turned to look at me. Under the light of the flashlight, the woman's face looked pale and green.

She grinned and said, "Let's go watch a movie! The boy from the village head fool's family is getting married, so there's a movie to watch."

I was stunned for a moment, remembering that when I was a kid, every family in the village liked to play an outdoor movie at night to celebrate a happy event.

At that time, even people from neighboring villages would bring their families and families with them to watch. It was also one of my favorite entertainment programs when I was a child.

There were few TVs in the village at that time, and even fewer movies!

I just didn’t expect that it’s really rare for people in the village to show movies when they get married.

"Are you going? I'm waiting for you." A green light flashed in the woman's eyes. I wanted to refuse, but I nodded without knowing why.

The body walked out the door on its own.

When I came to my senses, people were already on the street where outdoor movies were being played.

There were people all around, men, women and children, all sitting on benches with their heads raised, their faces glowing with green light, and their mouths hanging with strange smiles.

I looked out of place among them. They were wearing very old clothes, while I was wearing pure cotton pajamas with a chicken coop on my head.

It’s me who stands out from the crowd!

I couldn't see clearly what the movie was playing, all I could see was blurry figures.

When I wanted to rub my eyes and take a closer look, I heard someone calling my name, "Wushuang, Fu Wushuang, come back!"

Who is calling me?

Could it be that my milk can't find me and is looking for me?

its not right! The voice was very ethereal, as if it was far away from me.

I turned around and looked around. The green light was flashing and stars were dotting around me. The people sitting there were all moviegoers.

No one looked at me or paid attention to me.

I scratched my head and heard a voice calling me again, "Wushuang, come back! Wuwuwuwuwu."

It sounded like my mother's voice, and she seemed to be crying.

"Mom, I'm here." I responded to my mother and turned around to leave.

After squeezing through the crowd and walking out for more than ten steps, I strangely found that there were still a few villagers around me who were watching a movie with their heads raised, and I was still standing where I was.

I panicked for a moment.

"You guys give in, I want to go home to find my mother." When I wanted to squeeze out of the crowd again, my hand accidentally touched the bodies of the villagers.

A burning sensation came over my fingertips, and my fingers hurt as if they were burned.

They were grinning weirdly.

I don't dare to stay any longer.

But these villagers wouldn't give way to me, and I didn't dare to touch them. Whenever I touched them, my fingers would feel like they were on fire.

I almost cried.

"Are you crying?"

A gentle male voice reached my ears.

It sounds good.

Very clean and refreshing sound.

With a soothing tenderness.
