Possessed by evil spirit
I was shocked, got out of bed and hid at the other end.
It was Beanbean, his pale face pressed against the pillow next to mine, and seeing that I had already gotten up, he slowly sat up from the edge of the bed.
The moonlight shone in and I saw the bell in his hand shaking, the ringing sound just came from his hand.
I subconsciously glanced at the time, it was not yet twelve o'clock, just as Uncle Qin said, this is exactly when DouDou would be possessed by a ghost. I wanted to shout for Uncle, but here is some distance from where he is, and DouDou will definitely stop my shouting.
A sudden thought in mind, where did Xiaobai go?
"Doudou slowly climbed onto the bed, his face getting closer and closer to mine. I stuttered in my throat, pretending to be calm, 'Doudou, Doudou, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping?'"
Doudou didn't say a word, climbed onto the bed and sat beside me, a chill swept over, I shivered.
He didn't stretch out his hands to strangle me, just like strangling his mother, and sat quietly and steadily beside me, the bell in his hand making a crisp sound in the quiet night.
"A Li jie jie, this is for you."
Doudou handed me one of the bells in his hand, I looked at him without malice, it could be seen from his empty eyes that Doudou was possessed, but he didn't harm me.
He was like an orphan without friends, which reminded me of when I was a kid in Qin Village, except for Dazhu, I didn't have any friends either. I could feel the helplessness and loneliness.
Suddenly I felt a little pity for the ghost of this child beside me, and after hesitating for a moment, I reached out to take the bell, which was as cold as his fingers.
When I picked up the phone, he chuckled and smiled. This smile, for a moment, I felt like I had seen it somewhere before, but couldn't remember where.
He said, "It's still Ah Li sister who is good to me."
I let out an "ah" of unclear meaning!
Doudou played with the small bell in his hand, making a crisp sound. He didn't look at me and said to himself, "Sister, you must keep that thing a secret for me."
I'm full of doubts, "what secret."
The bean didn't answer my question, pouting and saying "Mom will definitely spank me if she finds out." He finally looked up at me and called me "Sister Ali".
I hummed in agreement!
At this moment, DouDou looked like a child who had done something wrong, afraid of being scolded by his mother. Except for the pale face and blood-red lips, I couldn't help but imagine that the well-behaved boy in front of me was a ghost.
He winked at me with his eyes, "Sister, okay?"
Although I didn't know what he was talking about, seeing his eyes well up with tears, seemingly in some pain, I nodded, "Alright, sister promises you."
The moonlight shone in again, passing through the window and casting an eerie glow on me and DouDou.
I was about to ask him what was going on, but before I could even get the question out, Doudou had already jumped up from under the bed and was standing at the door, with the moonlight shining down on him in a desolate manner.
"He said, 'Goodbye Ah Li sister, I'll come find you tomorrow.'"
As I said this, my heart skipped a beat, and I thought to myself that this ghost would come looking for me again tomorrow night...
In an instant, my mood calmed down. After all, he had never harmed me, what was I afraid of? Looking at it this way, the ghost seemed to have some secret on his body. In that case, I would ask him clearly tomorrow night.
But what is this secret he has entrusted me with?
I don't remember when I fell asleep. The next day after waking up, Xiaobai was still curled up in the quilt, and I didn't tell Uncle about what happened last night.
At breakfast time, I inadvertently met Qin Auntie's gaze, which was a bit evasive. Looking at DouDou again, he had lost the restraint of last night and was eating with big mouthfuls.
Uncle Qin carried a hoe to the farm early in the morning, I wanted to follow him together, when I was young, I also went with Uncle Qin and Grandma Qin to the farm, being able to wander around the farm was the most wonderful time of my childhood.
Holding Xiaobai in my arms, Uncle called me from behind, "A Li."
When I turned around to look at him, a layer of indifference appeared on Uncle's face. He walked towards me and said, "You don't have to go, stay home and chat with your aunt. By the way, this is her first time meeting you."
I was about to hesitate and argue, but I saw Uncle wink at me, and through his side, I took a glance at Qin Auntie who was feeding pigs beside the pigpen.
I nodded at Uncle Ah, and Qin Da Shu carried a hoe behind me and smiled, "A Li likes to go, let her go, it's been ten years since she came to these places."
I turned back to smile at Uncle Qin. I wanted to go to the fields, but Uncle gave me a task and I had no choice but to listen to him.
Uncle Ah walked past me and said to Uncle Qin, "Bao Ge, I'll go help you."
Uncle Qin's sincere laughter echoed as he was about to leave, "A Li has graduated from university, right? You've been taking care of A Li for 12 years now. She's been clever since she was a kid, but it can't be easy raising her on your own."
"Brother Bao, what are you talking about? I should be thanking you for taking her in during my most difficult time."
"It's what brothers should be."
……
The sound of the conversation gradually faded away, I took a glance at Qin Auntie who turned around and walked into the house, DouDou was still holding onto her hem wandering around, Qin Auntie had always tried to shoo me away to go play outside, but I had been entrusted by Uncle to stay behind and keep an eye on Qin Auntie.
Although I couldn't be certain why Uncle did this, I believed that he had his own reasons.
At noon, Qin Aunt disappeared...
But I met him!
