Dreaming of 1988, I have the ability to see ghosts and ghosts

Over the years, every summer vacation, Wang Erming would either take me to the river to pick them, or pick them and send them to my home.

Wang Erming took a few bites and put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked.

"Feng'er, what do you want?"

"Brother Erming, please accompany me to the Qiao family." I said to him.

"Then let's go!" He knew what it was about as soon as he heard it, and stood up and was about to leave.

"Don't worry, eat your fill before you leave."

Seeing how anxious he was, I was worried that he hadn't eaten enough.

"I'm full, let's go." He said as he started walking forward.

I also stood up and spoke to the Wang family embarrassedly.

"Uncle Wang, Auntie, Brother Daming, we are leaving."

Wang Daming is 22 years old this year. According to Wang Erming, he already has a girlfriend and if nothing unexpected happens, they will get married next year.

"Then be careful of snakes on the road!"

Brother Daming kindly reminded us.

"I know. Thank you, Brother Daming."

This family is very kind. In fact, most people in the village are very kind.

"Hey, wait a minute, you two, hold the flashlight."

Before we had walked far, Aunt Wang caught up with us and handed a flashlight to Wang Erming.

We didn't think of bringing a flashlight because it's summer and the Milky Way in the sky is very bright and the moon was very round these days.

The old man was very careful. Although we were able to walk back relying on the moonlight, it was relatively safer to carry a flashlight.

Although there are not many poisonous snakes in this area, most of them appear at night. If you are accidentally bitten, you will need to get serum at best, and may die at worst.

"Thank you, Auntie."

I would like to express my gratitude to Aunt Wang for her attentiveness.

"Well, be careful." Aunt Wang instructed again.

So we continued to move forward.

When we reached the main road, we passed by a house. The family's surname was Huang. It was the home of Huang Xiaojun, who had previously called me and my grandmother to rescue Wang Erming.

When I arrived at his house, his grandfather was eating in the threshing floor. He has a younger sister named Huang Xiaoyan, who is several years younger than me.

Seeing Wang Erming and I walking side by side, Huang Xiaojun gave us a wicked smile, stopped using his chopsticks, and blew a loud whistle at us.

"Huang Xiaojun, what are you doing?"

Wang Erming said unhappily.

"What are you two doing in the middle of the night?"

Huang Xiaojun raised his voice deliberately.

"Go out and do something, kid, eat your food and don't mind your own business."

Wang Erming spoke to him unhappily again.

"Brother, what are you doing? You are always so unruly."

Huang Xiaoyan started to teach his brother a lesson and then turned to talk to me.

"Sister Feng'er, don't listen to my brother. He is like this. Just ignore him."

"It's okay, Xiaoyan."

I am probably three years older than her, and we don't interact much, so I just replied politely.

"Little girl, why are you so disloyal and helping others to talk about me?"

Huang Xiaojun was angry and scolded his sister.

"How can I speak for outsiders? You just don't learn your lesson and you are always so dishonest. Look at my brother Erming, he is about to graduate from technical secondary school, and you are nothing."

Huang Xiaoyan also started to criticize Huang Xiaojun, and the two started a verbal fight.

"Stop arguing, both of you, and eat your meal."

Father Huang slammed the chopsticks hard on the table. The brother and sister then stopped talking and started eating. The entire threshing floor immediately became quiet.

"They're quite a good match."

Huang Ma muttered softly.

The sound was very small, but because it was quiet at the time, Wang Erming and I both heard it.

Wang Erming turned his head and looked at me, his face slightly flushed, then he turned his head away embarrassedly and continued walking forward quickly.

But I didn't think so. Although I could feel that Wang Erming was a little interested in me, I never thought about it that way.

In my heart, he is just my brother. I only have family affection for him, not love.

We walked towards the direction of Qiao's house, with the sounds of cicadas and frogs chirping on the road.

When the last ray of sunset glow faded from the horizon and the cicadas' chirping stopped, I suddenly felt that it was not so noisy. The frogs' croaking continued, which was a little more pleasant to hear than the cicadas' chirping.

On the way, I talked to Wang Erming about the date of Huang Bo's burial and also explained the purpose of my visit to Qiao's house today.

"You did the right thing. I also think that Qiao Xiaoling should be told about this. She should go and see Huang Bo off."

Wang Erming said very seriously.

"That day, I also wanted to go to see Brother Huang Bo off. After all, I had a friendship with him." Wang Erming also looked very depressed.

For us, the loss of a life is an indescribable sadness. Even if we are just acquaintances, we will feel very sorry.

It is especially sad when someone with whom you have a close relationship passes away.

We walked all the way to Qiao's house.

When I arrived at the door of the Qiao family, I saw the three members of the Qiao family enjoying the cool air at the door: Qiao's father, Qiao's mother, and Qiao Xiaoling.

It's like this in the summer. Basically, everyone will be outside in the first half of the night to enjoy the cool air, and will not go back to their rooms to sleep until the second half of the night.

I saw several families in this bay had set up beds on the ground in the threshing floor and put up mosquito nets. They must have planned to spend the night outside.

Poor Qiao Xiaolan doesn’t know when she will get better. Now she can only stay in her room every day.

When she saw Wang Erming and I, Qiao Xiaoling stood up immediately. At this time, the plaster on her leg had been removed. She still walked with a limp, but she didn't need crutches.

"Liu Feng, Wang Erming, why are you two here? What's the matter?"

Qiao Xiaoling came over to greet me, and when she saw me, she immediately understood why I came.

She probably didn't want to let her parents know that she was going to see Huang Bo off, so she came up to me to whisper something to me, but she didn't want her parents to hear.

"Oh, Sister Xiaoling, I came to see Xiaolan."

I winked at Qiao Xiaoling, indicating that she should go into Qiao Xiaolan's room with me and talk.

If we talk outside and are too close, Qiao's parents will be able to hear us. But if we are too far away, it might arouse their suspicion.

"Oh, okay, let's go in together."

Qiao Xiaoling understood.

"Brother Erming, let's go in and see Xiaolan. You stay outside and chat with Uncle Qiao and Auntie."

I turned to Wang Erming and told him that it was night after all, and it would not be convenient for him, a boy, to follow us into Xiaolan's room.

Let him talk to the two old people so that they don't have to go into Qiao Xiaolan's room. It would be bad if they heard what we were talking about.

"Oh, okay, go ahead!"

Wang Erming responded and walked over to the chair where Qiao Xiaoling had sat before and sat down.

"Liu Feng, Wang Erming, thank you for coming to see Xiaolan."

Mr. Qiao spoke to me and Wang Erming with gratitude. Mrs. Qiao still didn't look very well, but she forced a smile at us.

That's right, she wouldn't be happy no matter who it was. Her son died, and her two daughters met with accidents one after another. She hated Huang Bo in her heart.

Even if I didn't say it clearly, they would know that the two daughters' fall from the building must be related to Huang Bo's ghost.

I nodded to Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, then walked into the inner room with Qiao Xiaoling.
