When the dusk fell with Huixue, Grandma Liu walked out of the bed. Her head was dizzy and hot, and she retched a few times: she knew she was sick again.
With her arms in her sleeves, she staggered to the kitchen, followed by a big yellow dog. In the kitchen, she scooped water with difficulty, set fire to the pot, and patted the ginger with a knife noodle; she thought: maybe eating a bowl of ginger noodles, sweating a little, will cure the illness. However, she finally finished the meal. After a few bites, she couldn’t eat anymore, so she poured the noodles into the dog bowl. However, the dog only sniffed and did not eat. It raised its head and looked at its master pitifully. If she used to, Grandma Liu would have scolded him, but today she was so uncomfortable, she just looked back at the yellow dog and walked to the bedroom.
When she came to the courtyard, she suddenly fell to the ground by accident. When she fell down, she heard a crackling sound from a certain part of her body, the sound was like breaking a very dry wooden stick. She groaned for a long time and couldn’t get up. Huixue speeded up and fell on her. The yellow dog looked at her blankly.
After a while, she reluctantly got up, moved to the bedroom, turned on the light, locked the door, and climbed onto the bed. Her whole body was aching, and the pain in her left arm was especially severe, so it took a lot of trouble to undress. She felt water on her head, and she felt it was bleeding.
It was cold in the bed, and it felt like being in a grave. She comforted herself: Yan will be warmer in a while. The yellow dog groaned under her bed.
The wind outside the window roared on the bald branches, and a child’s excited voice sounded from a distance; “Wow! What a beautiful snow!”

Grandma Liu thought of her children and grandchildren, and her heart was filled with longing immediately. She has three sons, four daughters, and a bunch of grandchildren. But they all moved to live in the city, leaving her alone in this small courtyard. Moreover, they have not returned for a long time.
The cold wind ran through the window into the room, hissing like a snake. The room has become extremely dark. Grandma Liu was very uncomfortable, her whole body was painful and hot, and her consciousness was a little fuzzy. She thought with fear:
“I’m not going to die.”
She remembered the terrible things that happened recently.
One night, she was awakened by the cry of pain, which came from the pond ten meters away:
“Feng Zhi! I hurt! Fengzhi! I have a terrible pain!”
She heard the voice of his wife, who used to use it at night when she was hospitalized with throat cancer. This tone called her. But now that he is dead, how can he still hear his voice? However, she found that this was neither a dream nor a hallucination, because the voice was slowly crawling into her room. she wasBravishly cursed:

“You dead ghost, you have been dead for two years and you are not honest. Tell me, I am sorry about you! You! Are you here to hurt me now? During the years when you were sick, I slept well that day? If you have a conscience, just touch your heart and think about it.”
Under the bed at this time The yellow dog also yelled. That voice disappeared.
Once, when she was still drowsy, she saw her dead mother standing by the bed. Seeing her wake up, she bent down and said:
< br/> “You should go too, don’t hold on here.” Then nodded and said: “Yes, it’s time to go.”
She often has nightmares, many times They all woke up in shock.
How much she wants to leave this place!
At this moment, she remembered what the youngest son said when he came back. He said that he would take her to the city until the New Year. It’s not a few days since the Chinese New Year, maybe tomorrow my son will pick him up. Thinking about this, she felt comforted, and finally fell asleep groggy.
I don’t know how long she slept, she suddenly heard a knock on the door and asked who it was. Only a man outside said:
“It’s me . Your son asked me to take you to the city.”
She hurriedly got out of bed. At this time, she found that after sleeping all night, her body had no discomfort; not only that, but also much lighter than before. Opening the door, I saw a strange man in black standing outside. The snow behind him made his black clothes and black hat even more black, while the black clothes and black hat made his pale face look like snow.
“Come, come and sit in the house.” Grandma Liu greeted enthusiastically.
