turn into a breeze

My heart was shrouded in a strong sense of fear, but my strong curiosity drove me to the road up the mountain.

I didn't even go back to put down the thank you gift in my hand, I didn't bring anything, and I walked alone on the road that I walked countless times when I was a child.

The road leading to the bluestone slab is a poor-quality cement road, which was repaired by the villagers themselves, but now it is broken and full of potholes, and the mud on both sides covers it, making it impossible to walk properly.

Recalling the last picture I saw, this road is not like a road that cars can walk on.

There is a voice in my heart that keeps telling me that I should go home immediately to pack my luggage, then leave the village, go to the town and entrust the house demolition company to the demolition company, and then leave it alone.

But I don't know why, but my legs can't stop and keep walking forward.

It didn't take long to arrive at the closed place.

I haven’t been here since my friends who played with me fell down the rotten stairs in the house. Later, I heard that the road up the mountain was blocked. Although my home is very close to here, I didn’t think about it either. Come and see.

Besides, I was already preparing to move with my family at that time, so I simply forgot about this place to play.

The entire mountain wall is surrounded by barbed wire fences, and the entrance is nailed to death with wire and wooden boards. Now, due to the passage of time, the wooden boards have turned black and rotten, and are stained with blood-like red rust stains.

The bluestone steps on the other side were almost covered by the weeds on both sides, and the stone road was covered with moss.

All things being said, this is not a path that should be pursued.

Fascinated, I picked up the nearby branch that had been knocked down by last night's rain, and just fiddled with it lightly, and the wooden plank that closed the road fell down and fell into a group of soft flakes.

Using the branch just now as a crutch, I stepped onto the bluestone steps.

The steps are of different depths and are very worn. Moss and rain make the whole road very difficult to walk. There are also vines and weeds clustered around my feet. Several times, I almost slipped and fell, but I was able to hold on The vines on the side of the road, or I might tumble down.

When I was a child, I didn't realize how long this road was. I ran up and down every day and even played in the mountains and forests.

Now I don't know if the road has become more difficult, or my physical strength is not as good as before. It didn't take long for me to feel out of breath, and my body became a mess.

I don't like nature that much, and I really don't understand why some people spend money on things like mountaineering and camping.

Several times, I thought, forget it, there is a deserted house above, there is nothing to see, maybe I misremembered and misled the villagers, maybe I even misremembered Xiaohuang’s name, after all, my relationship with him Getting along is so embarrassing, I may not have listened to him at all.

But for some reason, I never gave up.

Halfway through, it started raining again.

The thick foliage blocked some of the rain, but the rain accumulated on the leaves and turned into larger droplets that fell on me.

And the more you go up, the worse the road conditions become. The bluestone road is almost invisible, leaving only the road composed of dirt and rotting leaves. Not only that, but bugs and spider webs can be seen everywhere in the leaves, constantly contaminating the road. to me.

Because of the rain, the sky became darker and darker, and the calls of frogs could be heard all around, and the sound of rain hitting the leaves was heard from the top of the head, and occasionally thunder passed by, and the image of lightning splitting trees appeared in my mind So I began to fear that I would be struck by lightning just like this, and then die quietly in this place.

It seems that my family all have the fate of passing away quietly.

Grandfather passed away during a village meeting. By the end of the meeting, the grandfather sitting there had become so cold that even the people around him didn't realize that he had passed away.

When I heard the news, I thought it was an exaggeration from the villagers. Because I was preparing for the college entrance examination, only my parents rushed back to the village overnight to hold the funeral.

It was already a week later when the parents passed away and was discovered by everyone. Because the parents were keen on mountaineering and camping, the two went somewhere for a journey to get close to nature.

It seems that my mother fell into the rushing river while climbing the mountain, and my father, who was tied to a rope with my mother, was pulled down directly. The bodies of the two were found in the lower reaches of the river a week later. When I was notified , It has been more than half a month since the death of the parents.

I was celebrating my first job with my friends and secretly happy to stay in the city after college.

Because I have to deal with my parents' funeral, the company I didn't even go to work for a day politely persuaded me to leave the company, and I agreed without saying anything even before the entry procedures were completed.

At that time, when I saw the swollen corpses of my parents soaked in river water, I couldn’t recognize them at all. I didn’t even want to take another look. Sadness and resentment enveloped my heart. At that time, I was at a loss. With the help of others After taking care of his parents' funeral affairs and returning to the city where the university is located, he has already missed the best recruitment season.

And the death of the grandmother was not even known to the people in the village.

I smiled secretly in my heart, wondering if this is my destined burial place.

Finally, I pulled out the last branch, and I saw the house in front of me.

The house was even more dilapidated than the last time I saw it, and in the rainy weather, it showed a trace of ancient charm.

It seems that the gate of the house will open immediately, and a group of charming women in fancy clothes and neon clothes will come out from inside, just like the one described in Liaozhai, invite me to go in and have a drunken dream, only to wake up the second time to find myself lying in the middle of a deserted grave middle.

Smiling, I waved away these unrealistic thoughts in my mind, I picked up a big leaf to cover the rain, and walked into the house.

The gate of the old house has long since collapsed and turned into messy sawdust nourishing the surrounding plants. When I crossed the threshold up to my knees, what I saw was a screen wall that had been eroded by time and wind. The patterns on the screen wall were no longer clearly visible. Only the concave and convex shapes are left, covered with traces of moss and yellow, yellow, green and green, showing the dilapidation of the house.

Passing through the screen wall, you can see the front yard. The road on the ground has almost disappeared, and weeds are overgrown. The wood of the whole house has turned a dark brown, and collapsed pillars and railings can be seen everywhere.

The entire ancient house was unusually quiet, and the sound of the rain hitting the leaves on the ground and the houses intertwined and turned into a mournful symphony.

After looking around, I couldn't help but start laughing at myself.

After listening to the words of the old man in the village casually, strange doubts arose in my heart, and then I ran to this place without thinking about anything. The dumbest person in the world.

The old people always like to chatter. I don’t know if it’s because they have lived through those years. Some simple things will turn into a special fantasy when they come out of their mouths. I like chatting with the old people very much. I always feel that Their world must look completely different from mine.

But even so, he was never reckless enough to do such a thing because of the words he heard casually.

I looked at the mud on the shoes and trouser legs, the wet clothes all over my body, and the completely soaked thing that was used as a thank you gift in my hand. Thinking of it, I also admired myself a little, and I didn't throw away this thing all the way.

After casually looking at the old house, I decided to leave. I didn’t want to go inside the house at all. The whole building has been corroded and has never been well protected. Who knows if it will suddenly collapse because of my intrusion. What.

While thinking to himself that he was really brave when he was a child, he dared to play in such a dangerous place, while he quickly exited the old house and returned along the original road.

The way down the mountain is always much more difficult than the way up the mountain. I slipped and sat on the ground several times. Later, the rain was so heavy that even the leaves on the mountain could not cover it. When I returned to the mountain safely , the whole person was as embarrassed as a savage who escaped from the mountain. On the way home, I met villagers in the village, and they all looked at me with their mouths wide open in surprise.

I also lowered my head and ran away quickly, not even wanting to call them when I greeted them.

After returning home, I felt my whole body trembling with cold. After taking off my clothes, I also found that there were many marks of falls and scratches on my body. I was extremely tired and waited for the boiling water to be lazy, so I just washed it with only a little warm water. In the shower, it was almost cold water in the end.

There are fresh ingredients brought by Xiao Huang in the morning at home, but I don't have the energy to cook at all. I ate a tomato and shivered into the quilt.

I fell asleep in a daze, feeling like I had a lot of weird dreams. At night, I just felt as cold as lying in an ice cave, and my throat hurt like being scratched by sand. I realized that I was sick, and I wanted to get up and at least have a drink. water, but he couldn't move his body at all, as if his hands and feet hadn't grown on his body.

Lying on the bed with a frightened mood, I only felt that my whole body was soft and painful from the bones.

When I was thinking that I would not really die in this place, I just felt that someone came to me, dragged my head and fed warm hot water into my mouth, and then Something cold wiped the sweat off my face.

Not long after, my whole body was enveloped by warm things. For some reason, I always felt that this breath was very familiar, as if it was the black and white puppy that I always hugged and slept in my arms when I was a child.

So, I fell asleep again in an extremely restless state.
