ghost lights

Li Shang stayed here for three days, and when he was about to leave, it started to rain heavily again, mixed with lightning and thunder.

"Why don't you go out tomorrow, Xiaotang won't worry about you going out alone in this weather." Grandma said.

Li Shang looked at grandma, hesitated for a while, and agreed.Grandma was right, Li Tang would never go out in a thunderstorm.

"In the summer when he was 12 years old, in the first seven days of the summer vacation, it rained for seven consecutive days. Just like now, there were thunder and lightning. It was terribly terrifying. Others hid at home and did not go out. He Fortunately, I had to go to those places with deep water to play. At that time, there was an electric pole next to it. A thunderbolt struck the electric pole. He was very close to the electric pole. The spark almost hit him. I was almost scared to death by him too. Then he got scared, and when he heard the thunder, he got into the house in fright, and even pulled out the switch, for fear that he would be struck by lightning." Grandma couldn't help laughing when she said this When he got up, he seemed to see the embarrassment of his former son who was afraid of thunder.

Li Shang also laughed, and felt a little bitter when he smiled.He knew about Li Tang's fear of thunder, and it was not uncommon for him to do things like turn off the electric switch. At that time, Li Shang didn't understand how anyone could be so afraid of thunder, worse than a child, but he didn't expect such a relationship. .

When he was in junior high school, there was a Friday, the heavy rain started at noon, and when school was over, there was already thunder. Later, he ran all the way home in the heavy rain, and it took him 10 minutes to drive, which took him a full two hours.

When I opened the door, I found that the light could not be turned on. The room was completely dark. A candle was standing firmly on the coffee table, emitting flickering light. Li Tang came out of the bedroom with Rhubarb in his arms, and greeted him apologetically. He said hello and explained why he didn't pick him up from school today.

At that time, Li Shang was a little angry, but he was not Li Tang's own son after all, what qualifications did he have to ask Li Tang to treat him in every possible way, if he made Li Tang unhappy, Li Tang would definitely not want him, so he just Smiled and said it's okay.

The dinner that day was not finished either. The two sat on the sofa, each holding a bowl of instant noodles and two steamed buns.Later, after many times, Li Shang discovered that every time there was a thunderstorm, Li Tang would turn off the switch. Without electricity, he couldn't cook, and if he couldn't cook, he could only eat instant noodles.

Li Shang was lying on the bed, full of thoughts. He seemed to have seen a child who was particularly afraid of thunder somewhere. He searched his brain all over, but he couldn't find that person. It was probably just an illusion, Li Shangxin think.

The next day, when the rain stopped, Li Shang came down from upstairs with a suitcase in his hand, and spent a few days with his grandmother and aunt. disturb their normal life.

Li Shang asked grandma why Li Tang didn't come home for so many years, they looked so good.Grandma kept silent about this matter, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

"It's all fate, I just hope he can live a good life."

The old man didn't want to talk about it, and it was not convenient for Li Shang to ask again, but in private, his aunt gave him the answer.

"When he was in the third year of high school, he was in a daze for the whole year, and his excellent grades became stagnant. Both his elder sister and I dropped out of school early, and we didn't even finish high school. He was the only one left at home. When I was studying, my father thought he was falling in love and broke up, so he criticized him. In fact, it is funny to say that when I was young, my father never cared about his grades, only my mother cared about him. In order not to let him go out and run around with other people after school, my dad will pick up Xiaotang regularly every week, no matter it is windy or rainy, he has never been absent.

Later, he cheered up for a while and was admitted to a decent university, but we all know that it was not his true level, and he was still affected a little. I asked him why, but he didn't tell me. So clingy to me, telling me everything, but when I grow up, I start to have little secrets.

After he went to college, he never talked about a girlfriend. Dad was a little anxious, but he thought he hadn't graduated yet, so maybe he had to look again, but two years after he graduated, he didn't hear him talk to his family about it. A little bit about girls, you know, Xiaotang is old, my dad was almost sixty at that time, so of course he would be anxious.

But suddenly one day, Xiaotang told his father that he would never get married in this life, and he had a big fight with his father, which sent him to the hospital in anger. It was the first time that his father beat him. I like him, since I was a child, I was afraid of melting in my mouth, afraid of falling when holding it in my hand.

Later, Xiaotang moved out without saying anything. My father calmed down and felt guilty all the time. He went there within a few years. At that time, Xiaotang came back to attend the funeral, and left in a hurry after the funeral.

Why do you think he doesn't want to get married?A man will always need a woman, and I don't know who he is after with this appearance. "

The aunt sighed deeply after speaking.

Li Shang felt that a needle had suddenly pricked his brain, he seemed to know the reason why Li Tang didn't get married, but he didn't seem to know, but how could he know, was he really dazed?

Li Shang hailed a taxi and said goodbye to his grandmother and aunt at the door. Suddenly a tall and thin man passed by him. The man asked casually who it was. The grandmother replied that it was Xiaotang's son. The man was stunned. After a while, he looked up at Li Shang.

"Such a big son?" The tone was full of surprise.

"Not dear." Grandma said.

"Oh—" the man's tone was drawn.

"Xiao Shang, this is your father's childhood friend. Now he is the big boss. The two of them played well when they were young." Grandma introduced Li Shang.

Li Shang nodded to the man and said hello uncle.

"Are you leaving? Why don't you play for two more days?" the man said politely.

"I've been here for a long time, and I still have some things to deal with when I go back." Li Shang replied politely.

"Really, pay attention to safety on the road." The man's tone was a little regretful.

"I will."

The taxi drove away, and Li Shang saw in the rearview mirror that the man was still looking in his direction, motionless, until the car turned a corner, Li Shang could not see the man's figure.

Li Tang's hair is small...?You should know a lot about Litang.

……

Surrounded by a vast expanse of whiteness, Li Shang walked forward for an unknown amount of time, when he heard the crisp voices of a few children coming from the front.

Li Shang approached the source of the sound, and the white mist slowly faded away. What came into view was the vast fields, the cloudless blue sky, and a gust of wind blowing in, mixed with the laughter of children.

"Look, look, I found a super big one."

"Where is it? Let me see."

"I want to see, I want to see too!"

Li Shang turned around, and beside a narrow path, there was a shallow pit. Five children around six years old squatted in the pit, forming a circle, staring at a certain spot on the ground.

Several people started working together, scraping away the half-dried soil with bare hands. A big sweet potato was exposed to the air. The little boy who discovered it first held the sweet potato in his hands and brushed off the soil stuck to it.

"It must be so sweet, Li Tang, share it with me." Another very thin little boy stared at the sweet potato in Li Tang's hand eagerly, begging.

"Anyway, I can't finish eating, let's eat together." Li Tang showed a big smile, because he was missing two front teeth, his speech was a bit leaky.

Li Shang didn't know why he dreamed of Li Tang, but he had never seen such a cute Li Tang before, so he laughed out loud.Those five children didn't seem to notice his existence, and they split the sweet potatoes to share the spoils.

"What are you doing!" An angry voice sounded from a distance, and it was an old man wearing a cardigan on his upper body and big pants on his lower body, riding an old-fashioned bicycle that was about to fall apart. child approaching.

"Run, the owner of the sweet potato is here!" Li Tang shouted and took the lead to run forward.

Seeing this, several other people quickly jumped out of the shallow pit and chased after Li Tang.

The old man looked at the miserable state of his sweet potato field being ruined, and cursed angrily. He got on his bicycle and chased those mischievous children, cursing while chasing.

"Stop! Whose children are you! I must settle accounts with your parents!"

Li Tang and the other children were very agile and fled so fast that the old man couldn't catch up with them. In the end, he could only return without success and turned around while pushing his bicycle. He didn't even have the strength to ride a bicycle.

Li Tang and the others hid behind a house. He watched the back of the old man leaving, and hugged happily with other people. They were biting the sweet potato pieces in their hands hard, so sweet!

Li Shang followed behind them, and when he saw this scene, he shook his head and smiled.

The summer sun was poisonous and hot, but the five of them ran here and there under the sun, not caring about the sweat on their faces.

This is the joy of children, innocent and full of vitality.

Suddenly, the eyes turned into white mist again, and Li Tang's smiling face was still frozen in Li Shang's eyes.

After a while, the white mist dissipated again.

This time it was on the roof of the second floor, with fences on three sides and no fence on one side. There were still five children just now, but they seemed to be a little older, about ten years old.One of them closed his eyes and shouted: 24, 23, 22...

The other four people were looking for a place to hide, but the roof was bare, and it was easy to find no matter where they hid.

Li Tang stood there observing the terrain. When the boy was about to count to one, he lifted his feet and walked to the side without the fence.

The most dangerous place is the safest place. This place is so dangerous. My partner would not dare to go here when touching them with his eyes closed. He is so smart, hahahaha.

In order to let himself win the upgrade of this game, Li Tang tried his best to stand close to the edge, suddenly he stopped moving, as if possessed by a demon, his body began to shake, if he was close, he could hear him He kept yelling "Hold me! Hold me! I'm going to fall!"

Li Shang was startled, and wanted to step forward to hold Li Tang, but his hand passed directly through Li Tang's body, and then he watched Li Tang fall down, lying on the ground quietly, Li Shang's breathing almost stopped, the second floor was not high, so he jumped directly.

Several other people were also terrified, and they hurried down from upstairs. The person with closed eyes was dragged down by others before he knew what happened.

They turned Li Tang over, Li Tang's face was covered with blood, his eyes were closed tightly, the blood flowed down his cheeks into his neck, staining his white clothes red.

"This... this... what can I do?" One of the little fat men was so frightened that he could hardly speak, and his whole body trembled.

"Jin Zi, go and get water and towels, and Pigeon, go and buy some Band-Aids, go!" The boy holding Li Tang was calmer than the others, and after giving his orders, the other two boys quickly obeyed.

"I... what can I do... what can I do?" The little fat man was left alone, and everyone else had work to do, so he also wanted to do something.

"You just stay here." The boy laid Litang flat, and the blood of the province kept flowing down.

Li Shang took a few more glances at the boy, he was quite calm when encountering things at a young age.The more Li Shang looked at it, the more he felt familiar. This person seemed to be the one he met when he left grandma's house, that's right!Even the mole on the nose is exactly the same!

Several people were busy and washed the blood on Li Tang's face and body. The fat man was responsible for cleaning the blood on the ground. The boy took off Li Tang's clothes and washed it clean. Li Tang was still unconscious and was taken by them. Put it on the bed.

"Li Yue, why is he still awake? My parents are about to leave work. What if they see them?" Pigeon asked worriedly. Li Yue is the most assertive among them. What happened? One thing, without Li Yue, they definitely wouldn't know what to do.

"Wait a little longer. If it doesn't work, I can only tell the truth." The other people couldn't help being terrified when they heard Li Yue say this. If their parents knew about this, they would definitely be spanked.

In the anticipation of the four people, Li Tang finally opened his eyes slowly. Seeing this, the four people's hanging hearts finally fell to the ground, and they cheered happily. Li Tang looked at them and didn't know what they were happy about.

"Li Tang, do you know that I was scared to death, how did you fall from upstairs?" The little fat man asked curiously while hugging Li Tang.

"That's right, how could it fall down?" The pigeon also leaned in front of Li Tang, wanting to know the answer.

"I don't know, I was a little dizzy at the time, and then I didn't know anything." Li Tang's eyes were confused, and Li Shang felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong until he heard Li Tang's next sentence , he just noticed what this feeling was.
