Chapter 18 Ghost Domain Forest
That night, Yuan Hao slept very soundly. Since his parents passed away three years ago, he has never had a peaceful night's sleep. Every night he dreams, dreaming that his sister is gone and does not want him anymore, and dreaming of the food at home. He was moved away by his aunt. He dreamed that he was sick but had no money for medical treatment. He dreamed that the little bully in the village beat him to death.
But tonight, as if all the troubles no longer existed, he slept for a long time before waking up at dawn, his body was indescribably comfortable, the previous gloom was swept away, and he was transparent from the inside out.
There was already a faint smell of porridge from the kitchen outside, he walked out of the house quickly, and saw that his sister had already cooked the porridge, and it was the same thick porridge as last night, instead of the light porridge they used to eat every day.
"Sister, we don't have much food in the tank, why do you still cook such thick porridge?" Although he likes to eat this porridge, he can't just be full today and not be hungry tomorrow, right?
Yuan Qiu brought the porridge and freshly mixed cold dishes into the main room, without turning his head, he said: "Silly boy, if we don't eat enough, how can we have the strength to go up the mountain?"
"But—" Yuan Hao wanted to say more, Yuan Qiu pulled him over, sat down at the table, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, from now on, my sister will not let you go hungry again, we You still need to live in a good house, and you have to go to school next spring, and you don’t have to worry about money and food, you know?”
Yuan Hao looked at his sister's firm eyes, his nose was slightly sour, his eyes were foggy, and he said stubbornly, "I don't study. What's the use of studying? It's better to work like this for more money."
Yuan Qiu stretched out his finger and flicked his forehead: "You kid, do you think I don't know what's on your mind? Let's not talk about this, you will soon know that my sister is not talking big." She knew Yuan Hao wanted to study, and every time she saw When a child in the village with a book bag walks past the house, he will stand and watch for a long time, the envy and yearning in his eyes cannot be concealed.
He said that because he didn't want to burden the family.
Yuan Hao looked sideways at his sister, is this still his sister? In the past, my sister hardly talked to him except calling him for dinner, let alone caring what he was thinking, but now, my sister not only talked a lot, but even asked him to go to school. It's incredible.
He shook his head suddenly, scolding himself for being bored, a sister is a sister, how could she not be a sister? It's just because of Liu Wenxuan's emotional injury, his temperament has changed drastically for a while, but he is still very happy to become like this.
After eating, the siblings hurried to Yunying Mountain, one mile away from Xipo Village, with a basket on their backs.
Yunying Mountain is not too high, and there are many trees on the mountain. People in the whole Xipo village chop firewood on this mountain. If the villagers are lucky, they can occasionally catch a pheasant or a rabbit to go back.
Standing at the foot of Yunying Mountain, Yuan Qiu looked at the smog-shrouded forest in the southwest and wondered, "What kind of place is there? Why don't we go there? I see that there are so many people coming and going to Yunying Mountain all day long. You can’t even find good firewood, let alone other things.”
When Yuan Hao heard her words, he immediately shook his head like a rattle: "Sister, you don't know, that forest is called Ghost Domain Forest, and I heard that there are ghost lights floating around in the forest at night, and ghost cries. , It’s scary, and some brave people went in, but they never came out again, and no one dared to approach it after that, even the nearby fields have been deserted for many years, and no one dared to approach the ghost domain forest.”
