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

"It's time to eat!" My grandma called us to eat before I finished eating the water chestnuts.

The lunch was very sumptuous. After all, it was Chinese New Year. The three of us talked and laughed and enjoyed the meal very much.

Wang Erming was the first and only guest to eat at home during this Spring Festival.

Because my grandmother was the only daughter in the Xu family, my father had no brothers or sisters, my mother died of complications during childbirth, and her family members cut off contact with us.

So there are not many relatives to visit at home.

During the Chinese New Year, only a few of my grandmother's distant cousins ​​passed by the house and came in to say hello.

Wang Erming stayed at home until the afternoon. His grandmother invited him to have dinner, but he politely declined. However, his grandmother was just being polite.

Because after the Lantern Festival, it means that the entire Spring Festival is over. Generally, during the Lantern Festival, the whole family will get together and eat dumplings together.

In the evening, grandma also cooked the glutinous rice balls that Wang Erming sent, which were the authentic ones made by hand.

Each one was round and plump, and my grandma also added some brown sugar to it. Refined white sugar and granulated sugar were hard to buy and very expensive in those days.

The glutinous rice balls have the sour and sweet taste of brown sugar. They are soft, sweet and delicious. I ate a big bowl of them.

Because we had to go to school the next day and the weather was still very cold, we went to bed early.

The next day at school, because we were the graduating class, we received new books in the morning, and the students in the lower grades were sent back, but we, the sixth graders, stayed and started classes.

I had just arrived at school after lunch and saw Teacher Tu at the door. He smiled at me.

"Liu Feng, the graduation exam is coming up in a few months. Your Chinese language foundation is weak, so you need to pay more attention!"

"Yes, yes! Teacher Tu, I understand!"

Teacher Tu really cares about me, and I feel a little embarrassed.

I listened carefully to the two Chinese classes and one math class in the afternoon.

When I got home from school, my grandma had already prepared dinner for me. After dinner, I picked up my books and finished the homework assigned by the teacher.

After washing up, I went to bed and took out my Chinese textbook, preparing to review the lesson that Teacher Tu had taught today, and also preview the text of the second lesson.

But after watching for a while, I fell asleep unknowingly without even taking off my sweater.

Grandma didn't disturb me and let me sleep like that.

Because I like to move a lot when I sleep at night, my grandma and I have been covering ourselves with separate quilts for many years.

In the middle of the night, I felt my whole body was chilly, so I quickly pulled the quilt tighter, but I felt that some cold air was seeping in from where my hands didn't reach.

Suddenly, I saw a large group of evil spirits walking in one by one from outside. I didn’t recognize any of them. They all had their teeth bared, which was very scary.

Even though I have the ability to see ghosts, and I often see ghosts, what I normally see are similar to those of normal people, not so scary.

These ghosts either had blood all over their faces, or were missing arms and legs, or had maggots crawling on their bodies, which was very creepy.

They didn't seem to mean to hurt me, but I was still very scared.

"Grandma, grandma!"

I found that I couldn't shout.

Seeing more and more ghosts coming in, I was scared and broke out in a cold sweat, clutching the quilt tightly.

Suddenly a dark shadow flashed in and came floating in.

At first it was just a black snake like Xiao Hei, but much bigger than Xiao Hei. Slowly it turned into a dragon, and its body became bigger and bigger.

Its head is broad and powerful, its eyes are deep and bright, its nostrils are wide, its horns are curved, its body is long and winding, and its scales sparkle with mysterious colors, like a gorgeous battle robe.

I didn't feel scared when I saw it. It looked very gentle when I looked at me, and there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

A powerful aura emanates from its every breath.

In an instant, it let out a powerful low howl towards the group of evil spirits. The evil spirits were frightened by its roar and retreated one after another, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

Before I could react, the black dragon suddenly disappeared, replaced by a blurry shadow of a man.

He was wearing a black suit that looked like the battle robes in ancient TV dramas, and he had a slender figure.

I really wanted to see his face clearly, so I deliberately opened my eyes wide. Although it was blurry, I could still make out his general outline.

He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, deep gaze, three-dimensional facial features, and his whole body exudes an aura of a king that shocks the world.

When he saw me looking at him, he nodded at me. I didn't see his mouth move, but I heard a mellow voice.

"Feng'er, wait for me."

As the sound disappeared, he also instantly disappeared into the night sky.

"who are you?"

I suddenly shouted out.

"Feng Er, what's wrong with you?"

This was my grandma's voice. She had turned on the light and asked me with concern.

Grandma pulled my head out from under the quilt.

Only then did I realize that I was curled up in the quilt, sweating all over, with wet hair. It turned out that everything that had just happened was just a dream.

"Grandma, it's nothing. I had a dream. I dreamt that many evil spirits came into our house."

"Evil ghost?" Grandma's face froze.

"Alas! It seems I have to teach you how to draw talismans."

Grandma sighed softly.

"It's okay, grandma, it's just a dream."

I comforted my grandma and I didn't tell her that it was a dragon that saved me in my dream, because she probably wouldn't believe that dragons exist.

"Feng'er, you opened your third eye at the age of 12 and could see ghosts. I knew you couldn't escape the fate of our Xu family and had to pass on the Xu family's business of horse-trapping.

I didn't teach you before because I didn't want you to be like me, lonely and helpless all your life. After all, as a horse, you often have to deal with ghosts, and you definitely can't live a dull life like a normal person."

After grandma finished speaking, she brought me a thermos, poured out the hot water, and asked me to wash.

“Grandma, I don’t want to be a scapegoat. After all, fewer people see this kind of thing nowadays.

Using my Yin-Yang eyes to help those ghosts fulfill their unfulfilled wishes and relieve their resentment should be considered as doing good deeds, right?"

I talked to my grandma while washing.

“That’s fine, but I still have to teach you how to draw talismans. What if you encounter a ghost with too much resentment and it doesn’t listen to your advice?

I'm afraid they will hurt you, so I can only use talismans to deal with them."

Grandma said solemnly.

"Oh well."

I thought what grandma said made sense, so I agreed.

So the next day after school, I finished my homework quickly and my grandma taught me how to draw talismans. I learned very quickly, as if I was born with an interest in this area.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, a semester is over. I have learned many kinds of talismans.

We also had the primary school graduation exam. The test papers were sent to the school in sealed containers, and the invigilators were exchanged between several primary schools. It was not a swap, but a rotation.

Teacher Tu encouraged me again the day before the exam.

"Liu Feng, you have worked very hard in this last semester. I hope you can be admitted to junior high school with excellent grades."

"Thank you, Teacher Tu! I will try my best."

I smiled at him.

After the exam, we went home and waited for the results.
