At this moment, it was dusk, when it was time to return home, there were people coming and going in the alleys from time to time, and they greeted each other familiarly, talking about some things about Zhang’s parents and Li’s family, giving people a touch of warmth. .
At the entrance of the alley, a young and slender figure stood holding an oiled paper umbrella at some point.
The patter of rain dripped slowly along the edge of the paper umbrella, and after falling on the ground, small rain flowers gradually emerged. The evening breeze was blowing, not cold, but a hint of coolness, which moved this The clothes corner of the slender figure.
A white and slender hand gently held the oil-paper umbrella. Under the umbrella, there was a white and handsome face, very young and gentle as jade, with a thick scroll atmosphere all over his body, plus his other hand. The several books held on the top prove that this young man is a scholar.
However, at this moment he looked at the alley in front of him, and he clearly felt the joy of coming home, the joy and warmth of seeing the lady soon, but for some reason, he stopped at the alley.
Because this alley that had been going back home thousands of times, somehow made him feel a touch of strangeness today.
It seemed that there was another voice in his mind calling him, awakening him, waking up, it seemed that there was another life and memory running.
"It must have been studying for too long last night, and I went to bed after the third shift, so today I was in a daze. The children in the class even laughed at me, making me thinking about it."
He shook his head lightly and laughed, feeling that he must have not rested last night, plus he had no power to restrain the chicken, and he would suddenly think about it when he was tired.
"Go home, the lady must still be waiting for me to eat..."
A happy smile appeared on his face when he thought of his own lady.
Immediately, the oil-paper umbrella fluttered, and he stepped gently, accompanied by the rain, into the alley, and his home was at the end of the alley.
"Yeah! Ye Xianggong is back from class? My baby didn't mess with you today, right?"
"Ye Xianggong, how do you recognize the three-character scripture of my baby?"
"Come on, Ye Xianggong, the old hen at home has laid eggs and cooked some. You can take some back and eat with Lady Ye!"
"Ye Xianggong..."
When he, that is, Ye Xianggong walked into the alley, all the neighbors in the neighborhood who had been chatting and joking all showed respect, and greeted Ye Xianggong with great enthusiasm.
"Thank you, everyone, they are all neighbourhoods, don't have to be so polite, everyone's kindness is appreciated."
Ye Xianggong smiled politely and kindly, holding the oil paper umbrella and walking forward slowly.
On both sides of the alley, there are rows of old houses with blue tiles, quiet and plain in the hazy mist and rain, raindrops dripping from the eaves, and the figure of Ye Xianggong passes through it, and goes farther and farther.
"Look at Ye Xianggong! Scholars are different! It's just that the body is a little thinner, and it will collapse when the wind blows. It's not strong."
"What do you know? Ye Xianggong is a real scholar, and his knowledge is very good. It is said that he has to participate in the rural examination after autumn. Once he is in high school, he will be the master of Juren! How else would the county master hire Ye Xianggong in the west of the city? How about teaching in the academy?"
"Oh, look at my son, follow his father, he can only kill pigs in his life!"
"Ye Xianggong and Ye Niangzi are really affectionate, Ye Xianggong is a scholarly master, and Ye Niangzi was born extremely beautiful and ingenious. When can you say my son can marry such a beautiful aunt?"
"Stop talking! It's getting dark. It's said that some dirty things have been causing trouble in the county recently, so let's go home and close the door soon!"
"That's the reason!"
...
In the discussion in the neighborhood, Ye Xianggong had already gone farther and farther until he reached the end of the alley, and then turned a corner.
In the next instant, he saw an old house with blue tiles appearing in front of him, with the door bolt half hidden, and many crisp vines protruding from the corners of the surrounding walls, densely packed, had already covered the outer wall, the green onion was dripping, it was the creeper.
"This year's creeper looks very good! Thanks to the hard work of the lady."
Ye Xianggong stood in front of the door, looking at the creeper on the wall, the gentle smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more intense, and he was about to push the door and enter.
However, looking at the door of his own home, Ye Xianggong felt a sense of trance again in his mind for some reason, and there was a sense of danger in his heart that had never been felt before!
It seemed that something terrible was watching him in the dark, full of greed and madness!
"It's really weird. Why are you so utterly distracted today? It seems that you must never stay up late to read..."
Ye Xianggong shook his head, showing a wry smile.
Crunch!
No longer hesitating, he pushed open his door and walked in slowly.
It was a small yard that rushed towards you, but for some reason, it was very dirty. The corners on all sides were full of rubbish, and the ground was covered with thick dust, which formed a vivid contrast with the green creeper. Contrast.
Ye Xianggong, who didn't feel anything in the past, looked at the messy little yard and frowned for some reason!
"Miangong..."
Suddenly, a soft and happy call came from the front, instantly causing Ye Xianggong's face to show a warm smile.
"Lady, I'm back!"
At the end of the small courtyard, at the door of the inner room, I don't know when a beautiful woman appeared!
Her facial features are extremely beautiful, even with a hint of coquettish, and there is a faint vertical red line at the center of her eyebrows, which seems to be drawn.
"My husband, wash your hands and eat, the food is ready."
Ye Niangzi smiled and took the oil-paper umbrella and books in Ye Xianggong's hands, greeted him in, and immediately closed the door with her bare hands.
After that, I continued to eat, wash and keep warm.
Night fell soon.
Outside was the sound of pattering rain, and a candle had already been lit in front of the window of the house, shed a dim light.
Ye Xianggong sat at the shabby desk, reading at night with the lamp as always.
The township examination was coming in less than a month, and Ye Xianggong had to work hard.
And Lady Ye, who had already washed herself, seemed to go to bed first when she went to bed.
Crackling!
The sound of oil burning from the burning of candles kept ringing. It was so loud in the middle of the night, but it burned very vigorously, and the illuminated desk was bright!
I don't know how long it has passed, but Ye Xianggong, who has been attentive, yawned, as if his shoulders were sore because of his motionlessness.
He gently put the book down, rubbed his sore eyes, and patted his shoulder again.
"I saw the third watch again by accident. Forget it, let's rest early today, otherwise tomorrow will be trance again."
As if thinking of the trance during the day and dusk, Ye Xianggong shook his head and stood up, preparing to blow out the candle and go to bed.
But right now!
"No! Don't! Xianggong! Xianggong save it..."
From the bed opposite the desk, Ye Niangzi's panic and frightened cry for help suddenly came, and Ye Xianggong's expression suddenly changed!
"Lady! What happened to you?"
Ye Xianggong hurriedly rushed to the bed, shook off the mosquito net!
"what!!!"
In the next instant, Ye Xianggong's face turned pale, and his whole body was so scared that he sat on the ground, shaking and sweating!
"Zi does not talk with strange power! Zi does not talk with strange power..."
Ye Xianggong kept repeating these words!
On that bed, there was no maiden Ye, there was just a skeleton frame, staring at him, even dripping with blood, already staining the whole bed red!
"Mother... Lady..."
Ye Xianggong was frightened, but he still struggled to get up!
call out!
But suddenly, the burning candle on the desk went out!
The whole room fell into darkness suddenly!
At this moment, Ye Xianggong was scared to death again, and he sat on the ground again!
"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."
At the same time, a weird, horrible laugh suddenly sounded, shaking the room!
"Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!"
"So hungry! I'm so hungry! One is not enough! One is not enough! And you! Let me...eat you! Eat you! Okay? Okay!!!"
Huh!
A black shadow rushed towards Ye Xianggong who was sitting on the ground shaking with fright!
