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

"Has Aunt Xu been invited?"

When the people in the room saw Aunt Huang, they asked anxiously.

"Please come in, please come in." Aunt Huang hurriedly came out of the room and invited us in.

My grandmother and I followed him into the room, and the person lying on the bed was Uncle Zhao.

"Uncle Zhao." I called out

"Oh, Feng'er, Aunt Xu, you're here."

Uncle Zhao's whole face was wrinkled and he greeted us with a painful expression on his face.

He was half lying on the bed, holding one leg with his hands.

"Xiao Zhao, what's wrong with you?"

Grandma asked while sitting on the chair that Aunt Zhang brought in.

Uncle Zhao held the leg with difficulty and moved to the bedside to talk to grandma.

"Aunt Xu, can you help me see what's going on?"

When we saw Uncle Zhao's calf, my grandmother and I were shocked. The calf was swollen and thicker than the thigh, and it was covered with clearly visible purple marks. The skin was not broken, but it did look a bit like the teeth marks of some animal.

"It hurts, it hurts so much, you have to help me, otherwise my leg will be broken." Uncle Zhao's face was distorted by pain again.

"Does it always hurt? When I left just now, didn't you say it only hurt a little?"

Aunt Zhang was also standing beside Dad and asked with concern.

"After you left, it just got more and more painful."

Uncle Zhao squeezed out a few words from between his teeth and closed his eyes in pain.

Grandma took out three pieces of talisman paper and quickly pasted two of them on the head of Uncle Zhao's bed. One of the talismans spontaneously combusted when she waved it in her hand without lighting it.

Then grandma closed her eyes and muttered something. She read very quickly and I couldn't understand what she was saying at all.

After doing all this, grandma opened her eyes and asked Uncle Zhao.

"Xiao Zhao, is your leg pain better now?"

Uncle Zhao had just closed his eyes in pain, but when he heard grandma's words, he suddenly opened his eyes and said in surprise.

"Aunt Xu, you are so amazing. It doesn't hurt that much anymore."

He put down his hands that were holding his legs, and I saw that the purple teeth marks on his legs had not disappeared.

"Please help me."

Grandma turned to me and knew that I had the ability to see ghosts and ghosts. So she stopped using cow's tears. However, she didn't have many cow's tears left and probably didn't want to waste them. I guess cow's tears are hard to find either.

I nodded and saw a curtain hanging behind the bed. I walked straight over and pulled it open. Several shadows suddenly passed through the wall.

I came to my senses and quickly ran out of the room, walked through the main hall, and ran to the backyard of Uncle Zhao's house.

After passing the back door, there is a small alley in the middle, and the kitchen and utility room are in the back row.

I walked into the utility room, where there were many farm tools, including plows and rakes, as well as some hoes and shovels. They were crowded together, and the windows were blocked by things, so it was a little dark.

In the corner, I saw three little girls in short-sleeved shirts and shorts, the same ones I saw by the river that day. Next to them there was indeed a little yellow dog, the kind of local dog commonly seen in rural areas.

When they saw me come in and get closer to them, they didn't take it seriously.

"Hello!" I walked closer and said to them.

"You, you can see us?"

When they heard me speak, the three of them looked shocked, and the little yellow dog next to them even howled twice.

"Don't scream, Xiao Huang."

One of the little girls in flowery short-sleeved shirt stopped the dog from barking, and the puppy obeyed and shut up immediately.

"Yes, I can see you. Do you have any grudge against Uncle Zhao from this family?" I asked.

"We've been dead for three years. We finally got the chance to report to the underworld and be reincarnated, but Uncle Zhao has set up a fishing net and blocked the entire river. We can't leave."

The little girl in pink clothes standing in the middle said.

So the three of them told me their stories.

It turned out that the three of them were all from our village, just three years older than me, and each family had three children, and they were the second child in the family.

The girl in flowery clothes is Huang Yufen, from Team 2. The girl in light red clothes is Chen Chunhua. The one wearing a polka-dot skirt is Huang Lingling, both of them are from Team 7.

Because in rural areas, the second child in the family is not welcome, and the three of them being girls make them even less welcome.

Although every child in the countryside has to work, it is always their turn to do the dirty and tiring work at home.

Having the same situation, being the same age and in the same class, the three of them became good friends.

He is three years older than me, so he should be a student of Huangjiacun Primary School three years older than me. I searched my memory but couldn't remember.

After graduating from primary school three years ago, the three of them were told that they could no longer continue their studies and could only stay at home to farm. Because the family’s income was limited and they could only support two children, they became the ones to be sacrificed.

Huang Yufen was already in a bad mood because she couldn't study. That day, her family also told her that they would send her to the city to work as a nanny in a week.

She also said that she was introduced by a relative in the city. After working as a nanny for that employer for four or five years, that family had connections and could help Huang Yufen find a job in the city.

Huang Yufen was furious. Some people in the village had gone to the city to work as nannies, but after coming back, they all said that they were very bullied. Huang Yufen was a very stubborn person. She would rather farm at home than suffer from outsiders.

She had a big fight with her family and ran to Team 7 to complain to Chen Chunhua and Huang Lingling.

The three people who shared the same pain ran to the river, picked a lotus leaf each, and sat by the river with Huang Yufen for an entire afternoon under the scorching sun.

"Chunhua, Lingling, what should I do? I don't want to be a nanny."

Her crying was like that of a wounded bird, sad and lonely; her tears slid down her cheeks like a knife, heartbreaking.

"My parents are too partial. Not only do they not allow me to go to school, they also want me to work as a nanny to earn money for them. Why can my sister and brother go to school?"

Huang Yufen wiped her tears, she clenched her fists tightly until her knuckles turned white, the anger and grief in her heart were like a raging fire that was difficult to suppress.

"Yufen, don't be sad. It's all our bad luck. We are the second child in the family and we are girls."

Chen Chunhua lowered her head, not knowing how to persuade Huang Yufen, and her heart was filled with resentment.

"Girl, what's wrong? Isn't my sister also a girl? How can she read?"

Huang Yufen's face was full of resentment again.

"Alas, what can we do? One was born before us, and the other is the youngest of the family. We can only operate on the one between us."

Huang Lingling also sighed.

"But I won't accept it. I won't give in."

After Huang Yufen said this, the three of them were silent for a long time. At this time, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the quiet river surface was reflected in a picturesque and sparkling manner.

But the three of them were in no mood to appreciate such a beautiful scenery. They were in low spirits, as if they were shrouded in a haze. The sunshine in their hearts was obscured by thick clouds, and everything in the world seemed to have lost its color and became tasteless and boring.
