I recalled my dream, could that colorful bird be my past life?

I poked my head out of the quilt and found that the sun was already high in the sky. I turned over and got up. My grandmother was already busy in the backyard.

There are no fishing nets in the winter, so grandma does nothing but grow vegetables in the backyard and collect firewood here and there.

After I finished washing up, I went to the kitchen and saw a bowl of cooked bean shreds still warming in the pot.

After eating, I started to do my winter vacation homework. As usual, I have to finish the homework within a week, followed by a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.

For a week, I stayed indoors and concentrated on doing my homework. During this period, Wang Erming came to my house twice, but seeing that I was doing my homework seriously, he didn't disturb me too much.

On the seventh day of the holiday, before dawn, my grandma and I were still asleep when we heard a hurried knock on the door.

"Aunt Xu, Aunt Xu, open the door!" A man's anxious voice came from the door.

"Who is it? So early in the morning." Grandma muttered, put on her coat and went to open the door.

With the sound of the door creaking open, the man couldn't wait to speak again.

"Aunt Xu, I have to wake you up so early. Something happened at home, and I want you to come over and take a look."

"Oh, it's Xiao Qin. What happened in your family?" grandma asked.

"Oh, my second son's wife drank pesticide last night and is now in the hospital." the man said again.

"Why is that? Why did you drink pesticides again?" Grandma sighed. "After drinking pesticides, shouldn't you have your stomach washed in the hospital? Why are you asking me to go?"

"The stomach has been cleaned and the patient is awake, but something is wrong! You should come with me and take a look."

The man called Xiao Qin by grandma seemed to have some unspeakable secret that he was reluctant to say out loud.

"Okay, you have to wait for me," said grandma.

"Okay, I've called a tricycle. It's right at the door. Please hurry up!" The visitor was very anxious.

Hearing this, I also got up from the bed. My grandma is old, and as long as I am at home, I should go with her to see things.

My grandma and I quickly washed up, carried our things and got on the tricycle with Uncle Qin.

This Uncle Qin, who should be in his 50s, is from Qiaojia Village and my grandmother knows him.

On the way to the hospital, Uncle Qin told us what happened last night.

He has three sons and one daughter. The one who got into the accident was his second son's wife, who is only in her twenties.

The second son’s wife is called Yu Cui. She was fine normally, but for some reason she drank pesticide last night. Her family rushed her to the town clinic overnight.

After gastric lavage, he woke up this morning and asked for food.

Logically, a person who had just been through an ordeal would not be able to eat anything, but she ate a terrifying amount, so Uncle Qin and his family suspected that she was possessed by evil spirits, and they came to look for grandma early in the morning.

The tricycle stopped in front of the town clinic, and Uncle Qin took us hurriedly to the ward.

When we reached the innermost ward, Uncle Qin walked in impatiently. My grandmother and I followed him and went in.

When we entered the room, the scene in front of us really scared my grandmother and me. There were two beds in a ward, and a pale-faced woman in her twenties was half lying on the bed.

She was holding a peeled pear in her hand and eating it voraciously. She ate the pear with astonishing speed. She finished one in the blink of an eye, threw away the core, and immediately reached out for another.

There was a big bag of pears piled on another bed. You have to know that pears are very expensive in this season and ordinary farmers can't afford them.

There was also a girl of about seventeen or eighteen and a man in his twenties with dark circles under their eyes, peeling pears with a knife.

When he saw us come in, he just nodded and didn't dare to stop peeling the pear in his hand because the woman lying on the bed couldn't wait at all and she was yelling.

"Pear, pear, I want to eat pear, bring it to me quickly."

"Aunt Xu, look at this situation. Is it possible that he is possessed by evil spirits?"

Uncle Qin had a sad face and looked troubled.

"Second brother, I called Grandma Xu over, why didn't you say hello?"

He even yelled at the man in his twenties in an unpleasant tone.

"Grandma Xu, you're here, please help me take care of her. I don't know what's wrong with her."

The second child stood up with a crying voice, but did not stop peeling the pear.

"Okay, kid, don't be anxious. Let me take a look first." Grandma comforted.

"Feng'er, look, is there anything?" Grandma looked back at me and said.

"You are Liu Feng from Class 1, Grade 1!"

Before I could look over, the girl who had been sitting on the stool peeling pears called out my name in surprise.

"Who are you?" I looked up and found that he looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him before.

"My name is Qin Fengxia. I'm from Class 2 and I live in the dormitory on the second floor." She introduced herself.

"Oh, hello!" I didn't expect that a senior girl from the second year of high school could call out my name right away. No wonder she looked familiar. It turned out that I had seen her in school.

"I know you. I heard that you are very capable. The police station chief even asked you for help." she continued.

"Really? How did you know that?"

I understood it all at once. It must have been Zhu Xiaomei, the big mouth who couldn't keep secrets, who leaked it.

"It's spread all over the school. You're a celebrity in the school now," she added.

I was speechless and held my forehead with my hand and said, "Sister Qin, don't listen to their nonsense."

"Fengxia, talk to your schoolmate another day. Let Grandma Xu take a look at your second sister-in-law first."

Qin Fengxia wanted to say something but was interrupted by her father. She shut up and handed the peeled pear in her hand to her second sister-in-law.

The second sister-in-law took it and couldn’t wait to put it into her mouth. There were no words to describe the level of her hunger.

To use a rural proverb, it's like a starving ghost escaping.

I calmed down and looked around her, but I couldn't see anything. It must be because it was daytime. I shook my head at my grandma.

I moved a little closer to my second sister-in-law and clearly felt the chill coming at me, and the beads on my chest also felt hot.

I was puzzled again. Logically, if there were ghosts, I should be able to see them during the day. Could it be that this ghost was very powerful?

My grandmother also felt the presence of the evil spirit. She looked at me in confusion, then took out a dragon-chasing staff from her cloth bag and started to drive it away in the ward.

After a while, I felt that the negative energy had dissipated a lot. My second sister-in-law stopped eating the pear and collapsed on the bed.

When the Qin family saw this, they were all stunned and looked incredulous.

"Aunt Xu, what's going on? Is there really a ghost haunting Yu Cui?" Uncle Qin looked surprised.

"Yes, Grandma Xu, what happened to my wife? Is she okay?"

The second son of the Qin family looked at his unconscious wife and asked anxiously.

"There must be some dirty thing following her. I'm just temporarily driving it away now. I may have to go to your house to see what's going on. You need to tell us what happened in your family so that we can solve it completely."

Grandma put away the dragon staff and said.

"Then, Aunt Xu, what should we do now? Will Yu Cui wake up?" Uncle Qin asked again.

"He will wake up. I will set up a ghost-exorcising formation for you in the ward. After he is discharged from the hospital in a few days, I will visit your house." said grandma.
