ghost encounter

Tong Xin got up from the ground, but when she looked up, she saw the most familiar place - the home she had when she was a child, the home she was with her grandma.It was a very small wooden house, located in the most remote suburban village of City Z.

Although the wooden house is small, it has all internal organs, and it was kept very neat and tidy by the grandma. There is a round wooden table in the center of the wooden house, and there are three wicker chairs around the table. They are handmade. According to grandma, they were made when grandpa was still alive, although After years of disrepair, the wooden red rattan chair has faded and turned white, but it is still strong and firm;

The door of the wooden house faces the sun, and there is a window on each side. There are cloth shoes made by grandma in various colors hanging on the wooden windows. Suddenly, the childlike heart softens, remembering that when he was a child, grandma always told him various stories when making shoes , he sat obediently on the wicker chair, with a ghost standing beside him—Sheng Yang;

There is an elegant picture of bamboo hanging on the back wall of the wooden house, and an incense burner is placed on the table below. It is bronze in color and has a beautiful pattern of dragon and phoenix play beads. It was bought by grandma from a flea market. According to her, it is an antique. Fairy.

In a trance of light and shadow, Tong Xin saw a shambling figure walking in from the door with a shoe basket. It was grandma, and tears fell instantly.

"Tongxin, why did you come back?"

Tong Xin stared at her blankly, "Grandma?"

"You child, what's the matter? Didn't you say you went out to buy vegetables? Why did you come back? Where's the food?" Grandma put down the shoe basket with reproachful love in her eyes, "Okay, what's the matter? Why are you crying?"

"Grandma?" Tong Xin shouted again, and immediately hugged her in his arms. How could this feeling be so real?Grandma is warm and real.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong with you?" Grandma stretched out her hand to pat him on the back and stroked him gently, "Okay, don't cry, you're such an adult, and you're still a boy, it's not good for people to see !"

"Grandma, Tong Xin said that she doesn't want me anymore." Sheng Yang appeared from nowhere and looked at him with displeased eyes.

Tong Xin looked up at it in disbelief, "Why are you back?"

"Hmph, do you say that if you don't want me, I have to go? You won't let me do what you want!" Sheng Yang squeezed on him as he spoke, pulling him away from his grandma, and pressed him tightly against his face, " Be careful, don't be angry with me, I won't dare to run around again next time."

Sheng Yang shamelessly acted like a spoiled child, just as real as before?Tong Xin backed away in disbelief, but was pulled even tighter by Sheng Yang.

"Okay, you two stop fighting, grandma will cook." Grandma walked towards the kitchen.

Tong Xin pulled Sheng Yang away, looked at his body up and down, left and right, there was no scar at all, "Aren't you injured?"

Sheng Yang looked at him confusedly, "What are you talking about? I'm not injured? Are you dreaming again?" Sheng Yang put his hand on his forehead, and pressed his forehead against his, "It's not hot, You don't have a fever."

"You just have a fever!" Tong Xin pushed him away, and then he calmed down a little. The close distance just now made him a little out of breath.

wrong!This is the world of bottles, it must be fake, he ran out of the wooden house, Sheng Yang shouted behind him.

The outside of the wooden house is still the same as when I was a child. The two jujube trees in front of the door are now in bloom. The sweet fragrance of the flowers brings a very familiar taste. Moist and sweet, maybe because I haven't tasted this taste for a long time, I feel very warm.

"I said, are you stupid?" Sheng Yang stood behind him and said, "I remember you hated this Zaohua."

Tong Xin suddenly turned her head and looked at Sheng Yang's face in surprise, "How do you know?"

Sheng Yang was puzzled, "Hey, what's wrong with you today? Why do you speak so strangely? You don't like jujube flowers in the first place, and if you say that the taste is too sweet, it is destined not to be a good thing!"

Tong Xin was taken aback, how could this Sheng Yang know what he said?He did say this before. When he was very young, his grandma called him to pick jujube flowers. When he went out, he looked at the jujube flowers in disgust and said, "I hate this thing. It tastes too sweet, so it must not be a good thing!" "

When a gust of wind came, jujube flowers swayed and fell from the tree. They were light yellow and had a hazy and dreamlike feeling. All of this was fake.Tongxin told himself.

At this time, grandma's voice came from the house: "Tongxin, come and eat!"

Tong Xin's heart twitched, that grandma——was also a fake?Tears flowed down uncontrollably, and his feet couldn't help walking towards the direction of the wooden house. He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and secretly told himself: "Just this one time, just one time." The grandma at the table called out: "Grandma!"

"Come here and clean up the table, how old are you, why are you still so rough?" Grandma said with a smile.

"Hey, here we come!" Tong Xin walked briskly, and quickly ran over to clean up the things on the table skillfully.

"Hey, Tong Xin, you are very obedient today." Sheng Yang squeezed over.

"What's wrong? I want you to take care of it!" Tong Xin didn't want to waste time with this Sheng Yang, who was still outside waiting for him to go back.

Grandma quickly brought out the food. Two dishes, two bowls of rice, and a pot of egg soup were his favorites.He didn't wait for his grandma to serve him the meal, but got up and did it himself. This was the first time he did this, and it might also be the last time. He used to be young, and when his grandma died, he was only ten years old.

"Our childlike innocence has grown up." Grandma looked at him with a smile in the corner of her eyes, very relieved.

"Grandma, childlike innocence is very strange today!" Sheng Yang interrupted.

"What's wrong?" Grandma asked.

"He just suddenly picked up a jujube flower and ate it."

"Really?" Grandma looked at him happily, "It's really grown up! Those two jujube trees are grandma's treasures. When grandma is gone, remember to take care of them."

Tong Xin was taken aback, and said in a low voice, "Got it, grandma." Why did grandma never say that when I was a child?After thinking about it, maybe I was still young at that time, and my grandma didn't think of it at all, maybe it was because this grandma was not a real grandma.But why does everything feel so real?The taste of the food is still the same as when I was a child, and my grandma is still the same grandma, right?Can olfactory memory be deceiving too?Childlike innocence asked himself.

After eating, Tong Xin lay on the bed and fell asleep, and fell asleep until the next morning. When he woke up, he found that everything around him hadn't changed. He couldn't help but feel relieved. He got up to brush his teeth, and suddenly Sheng Yang appeared behind him. figure.

"Hi, are you awake?"

"Ah, why?"

"Ask you something?"

"what's up?"

"Are you still angry with me?" Sheng Yang wrapped his arms around his waist from behind him.

"Hey, let me go!" Tong Xin spit out the foam in her mouth immediately.

"Don't let it go! I won't let you go until you forgive me!"

"You didn't do anything wrong, why am I angry with you!"

"So—" Sheng Yang jumped up happily and let him go, "Are you not angry anymore?"

Tong Xin rolled her eyes at it in the mirror, "Where's grandma?"

"Grandma is cooking."

When Tong Xin went out, he saw that the bowls and chopsticks had been set on the table, and the rice was still the same as yesterday, but he was still very happy.

This time he fell asleep after eating, and when he woke up it was the next morning, he was a little puzzled, why time passed so fast here?He still sleeps so deeply?

It was still the same picture, and he saw the food on the table again, which was exactly the same as the previous two days. At this moment, he began to wonder why grandma always cooks the same food?I still remember when I was a child, my grandma always said: "Don't eat the same thing all the time, or you will suffer from malnutrition."

So before moving his chopsticks, he asked, "Grandma, are these dishes still available today?"

"Yeah? Mapo tofu, stir-fried spinach, egg soup, rice, aren't they all your favorite food?" Grandma looked at him suspiciously, and his kindness made him feel a little ashamed. Grandma remembered that she liked it s things.

"Yeah, it's all I like to eat—"

"Then eat it quickly, or it won't taste good when it gets cold." Grandma interrupted him.

"Grandma, I just said that childlike innocence is a bit strange these two days." Sheng Yang interjected, "We used to eat these things."

Tong Xin looked up at Sheng Yang, his face was full of suspicion, he smiled, "Okay, eat!"

No, he must not go on like this, if he stays on, he might not be able to go back, so who will save Sheng Yang?This is the last meal, he will leave early tomorrow morning!This must be the confusing option that Wuyuan said, he can't be so obsessed anymore!

As a result, this time after he finished eating, he didn't fall asleep, but kept awake. Grandma said, "Children's heart, why don't you accompany grandma to pick dates today."

"What? Dates?" Tong Xin was taken aback.Obviously the day before yesterday he saw that the jujube flowers were still there, so why are the jujubes ripe today?impossible!He ran out and saw that the scene outside had changed, the branches of the jujube tree were covered with ripe jujubes, which were bright red and very gratifying, but his heart was disturbed.He ran back and saw his grandma and Sheng Yang looking at him in surprise.

"What's wrong with you?" Sheng Yang asked, "Could it be that you went crazy seeing Zao Zi?"

"The jujube flowers only bloomed the day before yesterday, so why are the jujubes ripe today?"

"Ah? Isn't this normal?" Sheng Yang said, "Four days is a year. It's early autumn now, but it's late autumn in the afternoon. It will snow tomorrow."

What?This world is too strange?

"Grandma, is this true?" Tong Xin looked at her with doubts.

"Yeah, Tong Xin, I think you're really a little weird today, we've been here for so many years, why did you suddenly ask this?" Grandma looked at him suspiciously.

"No, I have to go!" Sheng Yang and grandma stood up in surprise.

"I'm sorry, let me tell you the truth, I'm not from this world, I'm from outside, and I'm here to find the Arctic Sea."

Tong Xin's words surprised Sheng Yang and grandma, they thought he was stupid, and they all looked at him with a smile, "Tong Xin, why did you start talking stupid?"

"Stupid words? I'm telling the truth! I'm leaving!" Tong Xin said and was about to leave, but suddenly, Sheng Yang stopped in front of him.

"Where are you going?"

"Find the Arctic Sea."

"The sea of ​​the North Pole is thousands of miles away, how do you find it?" Sheng Yang's words startled Tong Xin.

"So there really is an Arctic sea?" Tong Xin said happily.

"That's right, there are indeed, but even if you have them, you can't find them. Why do you have to find the sea of ​​the Arctic? Stay here! Go pick the dates in a while, and they will be ripe soon. It's not good for the birds to come !" As soon as Sheng Yang finished speaking, Tong Xin heard chirping birds calling outside.

Grandma went outside early, holding long branches to drive away the birds that came to peck, "Go, go!"

Tong Xin couldn't help feeling very familiar. He had experienced this scene for several years. At that time, grandma was still very tough. For some reason, at this moment, he felt that happiness was very close. He couldn't help but reach out and pick up a branch from the side of the wooden house, and stood beside grandma, " Grandma, let me help you!"

"It's all your fault. I just talked for a while, and the harvest is not good!" Grandma said, her hands kept moving, and dates fell from the top from time to time. "Climb up the tree!"

That's right, in the past one had to climb trees to pick dates.He didn't hesitate to climb up the tree with a bag, and he climbed up so easily. He picked one bag after another, and always felt that the jujubes were so many that it was a little frightening. The two trees picked another ten bags.

After picking the dates, he saw that the sun was already westward.The weather turned cold in an instant, and a gust of cold wind blew from the west, hitting his face with pain.

"Grandma, I want to know how to get to the Arctic Sea?" Tong Xin asked.

"Where are you going?"

"Looking for the mermaid's tears."

Grandma paused, "There's no such thing as a mermaid!"

"Grandma, I want to save Sheng Yang!"

"Shengyang? Isn't it good?" Grandma said and called Shengyang, when Shengyang suddenly rushed over from outside and stuck to Tongxin's body.

"Are you looking for me?"

"Grandma, the Shengyang here is not the Shengyang I want to save, my world is outside!" Tong Xin said.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Son, go to bed quickly, don't dream blindly, why is your dream real? Look, isn't Sheng Yang right here?" Grandma glanced at Sheng Yang, "Go to bed quickly !"

"But--"

"What's wrong with you child? It's going to be cold, I'll bring you the winter quilt!" Grandma got up and walked into the back room, and when she came back, she held a thick quilt in her hand, "Here, you can cover it at night Good quilt, otherwise you will suffer!"

Grandma always extinguished his desire to leave so easily. He wanted to be with grandma, but he still wanted to save Shengyang!He carried the quilt into the bedroom and glanced at Sheng Yang: "What changed you?"

"Huh? What did you say?" Sheng Yang leaned closer to him, "Tong Xin, I think you are a bit stupid!" He reached out to touch his forehead, but Tong Xin shook him off.

"I gotta go!"

"Where are you going? I want to accompany you."

"The Arctic Sea."

"It's too far away, I told you, you can't make it!" Sheng Yang said.

"Go if you can't make it!"

"Isn't it good to stay? Grandma is here, and I'm here too, so why don't you just stay and live with us? Every day, grandma will cook your favorite dishes and make shoes for you. The most important thing is Didn't you always want to be with grandma? How happy a family lives like this."

Yes, how happy!Childlike heart lingers with the warmth of childhood, grandma always loves him the most, although sometimes he will blame him for doing wrong things, but he knows it is because grandma loves him, so when grandma says she is leaving At that time, he didn't believe it at all, and heard his grandma say: "Don't cry, baby, we will meet again!" At that time, he really believed it, didn't cry, and believed that one day he would meet his grandma, no matter what in what way!

Now I really met my grandma, even though it was in a bottle.If he had a choice, he really wanted to live in such a happy way forever. There is grandma, Shengyang, happy meals, and the taste of happiness here.

But why are you so uneasy?He still has something to do, there is a soul outside who is really dying to save him, waiting for him to save, that is the real Sheng Yang!

So - thinking of this, he stood up abruptly!

"No! I want to go!" Tong Xin said.
