This story is told by the old man. From his character, I believe it is true. In other respects, I really don’t believe it. Which is true or false. Let’s judge.
The old man was born in 1920. When I was 7 years old, I went to Liaoning from Shandong Province with my parents. This happened when he was ten years old.
Why is he so sure of that time? Because “the day of the crime” he was celebrating his tenth birthday.
Children from poor families study in the first half of the day and work in the second half of the day. It is rare to have time to play. Because it was his birthday that day, it was rare for the father to have a holiday in the next half of the day. His family lives in the outskirts of Dalian, and there is a mound nearby. He and his friends are discussing to play in the mound, and a boy comes in the distance.
That child is also about ten years old. The strange thing is that he is very red, but the strangest thing is that he has a rhythm. Every time you take a few steps, you must turn your head to the west and call: the long man comes, the long man comes. expressionless.

The old man said that the most terrifying thing is his voice. It’s not like shouting or crying. But it sounds so permeating. (More than 70 years have passed, the old man’s expression is still very scared when he said it, I rarely see him this expression) He said that when he grew up reading, the book said that it was ghosts and people, and there was no sound. I’m afraid this is the tone.
By the way, these children are very scared. But the boy in red passed them from far to near, then from near to far. None of them moved (I thought, that was frightening) and when the boy in red screamed away, they ran home in a swarm. No one dared to come out.
The strange thing is that the adults in the village said they didn’t see or hear anything.
That night, they heard a sound in the distance, as if it was on that small hill, that the long man came, the long man came. Until the cock crowed. The old man said that the next day when he talked about this with scared faces with his friends, he learned that the children in the village did not dare to sleep that night. And the babies who couldn’t speak cried all night. The strange thing is that the children are so noisy. The adults said nothing. And that night, even the dogs in the village did not bark.

The old man went to the private school a few days later, and the children in several nearby villages had the same experience with them.
The old man said, afterwards he thought, this was called a soldier. God knew that Little Japan was going to invade China, so there was a sign of calling for troops to the west.
I think. The fear of childhood is the real fear.
