Chapter 41 Moonlit Night
When I woke up again, I wanted to pee. During the day, Old Man Yun ate a lot of snacks for me and drank a lot of sweet water. So I was so angry that I was swelled like this. It was still dark outside. Old Man Yun slept beside me and must be in the middle of the night.
I wanted to wake up Old Man Yun and go with me, but I was afraid that he would laugh at me for being timid.
I remembered that when I was cleaning up after dinner, he took me to a toilet, right next to the kitchen of the room, not far away, so I thought about going by myself.
Thinking of this, I could no longer help but turn over and crawl out of the quilt. Such a temperature difference made me shudder, but I didn't care about running towards the toilet in a hurry.
I found the toilet in the dark. After I finished peeing, I breathed a sigh of relief, but when I was passing by the hall, I found that someone was muttering outside.
I was in a hurry to sleep, but I didn't know why, so I couldn't help but walk towards the door.
But the door here was closed and I couldn't see anything, but the voice outside the door became clearer and clearer. Originally, I was quite brave. After experiencing the stimulation of the "Cave" incident, I was more and more bold.
Just because I understand things that I don’t understand clearly can become a complete heart disease. I must want to figure out what’s going on?
I was destined to be unable to see anything in the hall. I ran to the bedroom where Old Man Yun and I lived. There was a big window here. I stood on the chair of the window without thinking and looked out.
Outside the window, the snow had stopped at some point. The crescent moons dripped a cold silver light, reflecting on the snow, covering the ground like flowing mercury.
The wind continued to blow, and the dim lights in the courtyard had gone out at some point.
But then the moonlight did not affect the vision. I saw a figure in the yard, looking very busy. She kept checking the bowls placed in the yard, and from time to time she would change a bowl of rice, while changing the other side, muttering as if she was chatting with someone.
The sound was not loud, and I couldn't hear it clearly at first. Old Man Yun snoring was too loud. Although it was reassuring, it also overwhelmed the voice of the person outside the yard.
Seeing this scene that seemed a bit weird no matter what, I didn't know why I wasn't afraid, but instead felt that I wanted to hear clearly what that person said.
So, I jumped off the stool again, climbed onto the kang, and pinched the nose of Old Man Yun. I used to deal with my dad at home.
Old Man Yun was pinched by me, waved his hands unconsciously, and muttered, "Stupid brat, dare to pull my beard, I won't deal with you."
I was startled and thought he was awake, but I didn't expect the old man to turn over and sleep again, but the snoring didn't continue. I gritted my teeth. The old man dreamed of dealing with me, but thinking about the scene where he washed my feet, I was curious about the person outside, so I decided to endure it.
When I stood in front of the window again, there was no Old Man Yun's snoring, and I could hear the movements outside clearly.
While listening quietly, I heard the person outside whispering was Aunt Yun. She was saying, "You are pitiful, eat more, right? Maybe you will have the chance to be reborn in the future. Even if you are like this, you can do good deeds."
"I know you have resentment in your heart. Since you come to me, you have to let go of those resentments. If you can't let go of anything, I know what I know tomorrow, and I can give you a gift."
Aunt Yun kept laughing and talking, but I found that I couldn't understand what she was saying at all? Reincarnation, what are those things?
Moreover, I don’t feel like she is talking to someone at all, as if she is talking to many people. This feeling makes me feel weird, but I try hard to figure out what’s going on?
So, I just wore my autumn clothes and pants like this, and even forgot about the cold, and kept standing by the window and watching.
After she finished sorting out the bowls underground, she stood up and finally stopped talking. She turned around and walked towards the wing where she lived. The sound of the door opening was particularly clear in this quiet night. I thought Aunt Yun would no longer do anything?
But she didn't expect that she would soon walk out of the house, and she was holding two big things in her hand, which looked very light.
I rubbed my eyes and found that she was carrying two paper men in her hand, which were lifelike. I felt that the living level was even better than the paper men made by Old Man Yun for me, before I saw some paper men piled up in the hall, so I was not too surprised when she took out the paper men.
Aunt Yun took the paper man and walked to the middle of the yard. She seemed to look at me. I thought she noticed me, so I quickly shrank my head, but she didn't expect that she just squatted down, and then started burning the paper man with a rumor.
"I've gone to see your son. I'll burn one for you as I do. Even if it's not him, it's good to accompany you."
"This is the aunt you have always cared about. I'll burn it for you. I brought a few words and sealed them in this paper man. You can listen to it too."
"You guys are worried, just leave. You still have a chance. Look at some other poor people in this yard. There are no opportunities. Isn't it hard to wander in the world?"
Aunt Yun was very serious when she said this. Although her words sounded very strange, for example, a few words could a paper man bring? For example, burning a son to someone else, but there was an inexplicable sense of compassion in it. This compassion made people feel at ease in the heart, and I forgot the weirdness in the words.
I stood in the cold window like this, looking at me stupidly, while Aunt Yun was always facing away from me, and the firelight reflected on her back, and there was a feeling of coldness and desolation solidifying into sadness. I didn't know why in my heart, but I was very sure that Aunt Yun was not what she said about a dead person, but that she was very pitiful.
I felt infinitely sympathetic to Aunt Yun, but I didn't expect that at this moment, she suddenly stood up and looked at me with no mask. The flames reflected her side face. I realized that Aunt Yun was not young anymore and looked like a middle-aged woman, but she was very beautiful, at least more beautiful than my mother.
My measurement in my heart is already very high. In my heart, there is only one woman who is a little more beautiful than my mother, and that is Xinyi's mother.
In addition, I think my mother is the best in the world and Aunt Yun received a higher evaluation than Xin Yi's mother. Why should she wear a mask?
I was puzzled, but suddenly I found that at the other end of the fire, there were two other people standing, one was an old lady in black, and the other was a young man.
They all seemed to look at Aunt Yun with gratitude, but the expression always looked weird no matter what, was it a little pale? Or did it feel a gloomy? I can't even explain it clearly. In short, it's just that it's different from normal people at a glance.
They were originally half-lowing their heads, but they seemed to feel that I was looking at them. They suddenly raised their heads and smiled at me for some reason. I was frightened by such a smile, and what was even more terrifying was that they took two steps and disappeared the next moment.
"Ah!" I couldn't help but exclaim, but the next moment I subconsciously covered my mouth. Old Man Yun seemed to hear something, muttered a few more words and continued to sleep.
But I was scared and sweaty. I didn't know why I suddenly remembered those people wearing yellow military uniforms in the strange passage. No matter how stupid I was at this moment, I seemed to understand something. How could normal people do this? I'm sure I didn't read it wrong just now.
If so, it can only prove that what I just saw was a ghost?
This word is extremely powerful for children's "lethality". What's worse is that I think of those strange soldiers in yellow. It turns out that I have met ghosts for a long time, and I feel even more creepy.
I wanted to jump out of the chair immediately and wake up Old Man Yun quickly and hide behind him. But at this moment, Aunt Yun's voice suddenly came from outside the window: "Little guy, I knew you were hiding behind the window and peeking. Come out, Aunt Yun is here, don't be afraid."
I was a little hesitant, but after hearing her voice, I felt much more calm. At this moment, she had turned around and looked at me.
Under the moonlight, she smiled a little, and that was the best-looking aunt I have ever seen. She had an indescribable charm, but also an indescribable misery.
For some reason, I thought I should go out once, and it would be better to accompany Aunt Yun.
Thinking of it, I jumped off the chair, but Aunt Yun's voice came from outside the window: "Put on the clothes before coming out."
After hearing this, when I randomly packed a coat and ran out through the yard, I remembered the two ghosts, who ran very fast unconsciously, and almost crashed into Aunt Yun's arms.
Instead of pushing me away, she held my hand and blamed her: "Didn't you tell you to wear more clothes before coming out?"
However, I refused to run back to wear clothes because I remembered Aunt Yun’s whispering in the yard, and finally realized that there must be many Gui Yun in the yard. In desperation, Aunt Yun took a piece of her clothes and put them on me, and then set a fire in the yard.
The fire was jumping, and I finally felt warm. I was chewing the peanuts that Aunt Yun had specially roasted me next to the fire. I was no longer so scared.
Aunt Yun seemed a little silent and asked me to come to the yard, but she just held me and sat on a big rock in the yard without saying anything, making me feel uncomfortable with questions that made her hold my hand and look at the moonlight on the wall of the yard.
