017 Reeds
There is a reed swamp in front of Ajin's house. Now there is no green and white patch; only a layer of gray is in front of us.
She didn't like this kind of desolation at all, she always felt it was too depressing. She repeatedly wanted her father to burn the reed marsh and wait for it to regenerate roots next year.
But Ajin’s father didn’t take her words seriously at all; when the left ear went in, the right ear came out.
"Hey! Ajin, have you seen your grandma?" Early that morning, the aunt next door ran over and asked Ajin.
Ajin had just gotten up, and the sleepiness on her face had not completely dissipated. As soon as she heard this, she started to shake her head: "No, I just got up. Do you have anything to do with her?"
"Oh, she said yesterday that she would come to my house to pick up things today, but I've been waiting for a long time and there's no sign of her!" Auntie said, handing a basket to Ajin, "If you see your grandma, give this to her
She, I will leave first."
"Okay, thank you, aunt!" Ajin took the things in a daze and thanked her aunt.
After her aunt left, Ajin opened the cloth covering the basket. It turned out to be more than a dozen duck eggs! I wonder if they gave me money? After seeing the duck eggs, Ajin thought of such an important question.
Forget it, just wait until grandma comes back to solve it by yourself! Ajin thought like this, walked to the room, put down the duck eggs, and quickly washed up.
But she waited at home all day and didn't see her grandma, so she couldn't help but feel a little anxious. At this moment, she vaguely heard someone talking downstairs——
"Did you find it?"
"Then I'll look for it again!"
What are you looking for? Ajin couldn't help but walk downstairs, saw her parents who were about to go out, and said, "Mom and dad, what are you looking for?"
"Children, what do you care about?" The mother waved her hand impatiently and was about to leave, but then withdrew: "Have you seen grandma?"
Ajin's heart suddenly skipped a beat and she couldn't help but reply: "No, I've been waiting for her all day! Will anything happen to her?"
"Go, go, don't talk nonsense! You stay at home alone, your dad and I will go out and look for you." After mom said that, she went out with dad.
Ajin was left alone at home watching TV, and soon she fell asleep.
"Ajin—Ajin—I feel so uncomfortable..."
Ajin heard someone calling her name in a daze, and tried to open her eyes to see who it was, but she couldn't.
"Ajin - I feel so much pain, I can't find my body..."
"Grandma, is that you? Grandma!" It was hard to tell whether the voice was male or female, but Ajin thought of grandma inexplicably.
"Ajin - it's so dark here! Come to me quickly, don't you want to burn this place down the most?"
"Grandma—Grandma!" Ajin suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling.
At this time, the parents who went out to find grandma had also returned and were looking at Ajin worriedly.
"Ajin, are you okay?" Mom walked over and touched Ajin's forehead.
"Mom, has grandma been found?" Ajin quickly came back to her senses and asked about the result.
Her mother shook her head: "We have looked everywhere we should, but we can't find it!"
At this time, Dad was smoking a cigarette and preparing to light it. Ajin heard the sound of the lighter and sat upright. Fire - the place she wanted to burn the most!
"Where is the reed swamp? Mom!" Ajin grabbed her mother's arm tightly.
"No, she can't run there." Dad blew out a smoke ring and leaned on the chair and said.
"Dad... I just dreamed about my grandma. She asked me to find her and burn the reeds with fire; she said she was in so much pain that she couldn't find her body..." Ajin's voice was choked up.
, "Dad, grandma, she——"
"I'll ask someone to go there and look for it together. You and mom should stay at home." After hearing this, my father ran out and called some neighbors. Each person walked into the reed swamp with a flashlight and started searching.
Ajin was a little scared, and her palms were covered in cold sweat. Seeing that something was wrong with Ajin's face, her mother quickly hugged her into her arms and patted her back gently.
Normally, Ajin would have fallen asleep with her mother patting her like this. But now she is extremely awake!
But for some reason, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she finally fell asleep again.
"She has my teeth marks on her hands - she has my teeth marks on her hands -"
"Grandma, what did you say? I can't hear you clearly!"
"Grandma!" Ajin woke up again.

When I wrote this, my eyelids were heavy, my head felt dizzy, and I felt a little nauseous. So I put down my phone and planned to take a break before writing again, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down my face, and I felt like vomiting, and finally I fell asleep uncomfortably.
Already.
So I don’t plan to write out the ending later, and the later scenes are quite bloody.
I don’t know if it’s because I was scared when I was writing it, which caused me to feel uncomfortable. Moreover, this story is based on my dream, so I might as well not write it out later...
The day after I had this dream, I felt very nauseous and scared. But when I went downstairs and saw my family sunbathing at the door, I suddenly felt at ease again.
Today I originally planned to write a story about Peking Opera, but I couldn't get started. In the end, I didn't know what happened, so I wrote this story. Because it was an adaptation, only the main plot was the same.
I probably won't be able to sleep tonight, I've been in this state for the past few days.
One day I will be tortured crazy by this...
