Chapter 172 The Skeleton Under the Bed

Looking at the dark yard, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but remember what happened when he was a child.

When I was a child, there were many residents in the old village. At that time, my mother always took him to visit other villagers' homes.

When you arrive at other people's homes, women will sit around the charcoal basin and roast warm charcoal fires to chat about the family. Children will snuggle in their mother's arms or knees, and enjoy the warm charcoal fires in winter.

At that time, there was no electricity and no light bulbs, and the dim diesel lamp was the only lighting tool.

Despite this, women still use the faint light of the diesel lamp to do needlework carefully while smiling and chatting with other women about family matters or various village gossip.

The thousand-layer bottoms were dancing in my hands, and the wisp of black smoke circling on the gray-white lamp flowers deliberately cooperated.

However, not long after, he became impatient and clamored his mother to go home. At this time, the male owner of the villager would hug him and tell him some horror stories about big insects going down the mountain to eat children, or monsters coming out to harm people.

Among them, there is a story with a profound memory.

It is said that a couple gave birth to a son. When the man went out to work, he left the woman and his son at home.

One night, it was midnight, and the man came back with a moonlight.

He knocked on the door for a while and called out a few times. When the woman heard it, she hurried to open the door for him.

As soon as he entered the house, the man put down his things and lay directly on the bed.

The room without lights is very dark, with children sleeping on the other end of the bed, close to the wall, while men and women sleep on the outside of the bed.

It was late at night and when the night became deeper, the boy heard a gurgling sound from the other end of the bed.

He asked curiously: "What's the sound."

The man replied, "Oh, I'm drinking."

When the boy heard the answer, he didn't think much about it and fell asleep again.

But after a while, a squeak sound came from the other end of the bed.

The boy asked again, "What's the sound?"

The man said, "Oh, I'm hungry and I'm having a meal."

However, after a while, a crisp sound of creaking came from the dark night.

The boy couldn't hold it in anymore, so he sat up and asked, "Dad, what are you eating?"

The man said, "I'm eating rice cakes, they are crispy and delicious."

The boy was hungry and said, "I want to eat too."

The man said, "Let's eat it tomorrow."

However, the next morning, when the boy woke up, his father disappeared and his mother disappeared...

The little boy waited alone at home. After waiting for several days, his father came back from outside.

As soon as he saw his father, the boy asked, "Dad, where have you been there these days?"

My father was stunned: "I have been working outside. I'm just back."

The boy was shocked: "Who is the person who came back a few days ago who looks exactly like you?"

The man was shocked: "Who is exactly the same as me? I haven't come back before, I just came back today."

The boy cried: "You lied to me. You drank wine, meat, and crispy rice cakes when you went to bed at night."

The man was shocked and hurriedly pulled the child to run to the room.

When he arrived at the room, he lay on the ground and looked under the bed, and he was stunned in an instant. There were only a pile of bitten bones left under the bed...

"This story tells us that we must close the door at night and don't let others in casually." The uncle said.

This story has always been a shadow in Liu Qingshan's heart, and when I think about it, I still feel a little creepy.

After looking at the dark night, I became more and more scared, so I hurried back to the house.

He decided that when he had money in the future, he would have to make a few more lights in the yard, so as not to be scared to death when running through the pit at night.

However, as his body gradually became stronger, he was not so afraid of things like ghosts and monsters. The reason why he still had a shadow on the dark night was mainly because the fear of losing his close relatives when he was a child was left to this day.

Therefore, deep down, he should not be afraid of monsters and monsters, but he is afraid that monsters and monsters will hurt the person he loves the most, or after hurting him, the person he loves the most will be in pain.

So!

Standing on the stone threshold of the gate and looking at the dark night outside the house, Liu Qingshan thought that before next summer, he must solve the lighting problem at home.

At that time, not only will you have to change the route at home, but you will also have to make the yard brighter.

Because there are many snakes in the mountains, especially in the hot summer, all kinds of dangerous things will always be hidden in the dark. In the past, when family members got up at night, they often had to go into the dark. Once their vision was unclear, they were likely to step on the snake or just happened to meet a big cat stealing a chicken.

Therefore, for safety reasons, you should keep the lighting at home as soon as possible.

However, now I am really unable to do anything, and I still have to keep the money in my bank card to buy a car, so these plans can only be slowed down for the time being.

Perhaps influenced by my mother, my dad came to help the next morning.

Liu Qingshan was amused when he saw that he was walking very steadily, but he was still deliberately angry: "Dad, if you are really in pain, then you should go back and sit down, I can do it myself."

Liu Yuanhe walked past the stone path below the stream, then came to the big stone slab and said, "I won't come to help, and then you will say I'm lazy again, so you have to remember that your father came to work with injuries."

"What do I remember this thing?" Liu Qingshan felt more and more amused when he saw that his father wanted to gain fame. "Can I commend you when the work here is finished?"

"That's for sure." Liu Yuanhe quietly glanced at his wife working in the yard and said in a low voice, "When the work here is done, I don't want you to give money, nor do I want you to commend me. Just help me get my phone back."

Liu Qingshan looked at his dad.

My dad has gained a little weight recently. Maybe it's because he eats too well and doesn't work.

He tsk twice and said, "Tsksk tsk, dad, do you know who you look like now?"

"What do I look like?" Liu Yuanhe looked down at his burly and agile body and asked, "Who do I look like?"

"You are really as round as Zhu Bajie now."

"Boy, what are you talking about? Even if you look like your father, I am like Tang Monk."

Very well, successfully shifted the topic.

Although my father is not very effective in his work, he will still greatly improve his efficiency with him doing some light work and handing over something.

In two days, Liu Qingshan built up the retaining walls on both sides of the stream.

On the third morning, the father and son were about to cloth steel bars.

Seeing his son carrying steel bars and cement, Liu Yuanhe sighed unhappily: "Oh, I think our family worked in the house when the villagers built a new house, but now, when we have work to do at our house, no one comes to help."

In the countryside, no matter who builds a house, everyone has to help.

Generally speaking, every household will send men or women to help. This help does not mean that you have to start with the foundation and all the way to laying the floor, but that you have to help at least one day in the process.

Then, when you build a house, others will come to help you. This is called "re-work".

As the name suggests, even if you work, you have to be polite. If you have helped me, I have the responsibility to help you. Otherwise, it will be difficult to call you when you have something to do next time.

So, seeing that his son had been busy for several days without a villager coming to help, Liu Yuanhe should be angry.

After all, by his generation, the family has not built a new house. However, he and his son have never helped a lot if they should help.

Unexpectedly, there was finally a big project at home, but no one was seen.

Alas, Liu Yuanhe felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing that his father really cared about this, Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "Dad, what are you doing? Our family is not building a new house now, so it is right for others not to come to help."

"What's right?" Liu Yuanhe hummed with a stern face, "Our family finally has work to do, but they don't come alone. This clearly shows that they look down on our family."

"Dad, you're thinking too much." Liu Qingshan said while working, "Look, I built the retaining wall in two days. This is really not a big project. Moreover, this is a yard, not a house, so it's understandable that others don't come to help. When our family has money and can build a house, they will definitely come to help."

"Hmph, I don't come to help now, and I won't know how to do it in the future." Liu Yuanhe was not stingy, but suddenly felt that it was not worth it to work so hard before.

Let’s not talk about other people’s families, just say that Daliang and Erliang did not come.

Logically speaking, even if the family is just building some small things and working in such an idle winter, they should come and help.

After all, whether they built a house or surrounded the yard, Liu Yuanhe followed from beginning to end. But now, when they had work to work at his house, the two brothers didn't even show their faces.
