What’s the most dangerous thing you’ve ever experienced?
Take care of the paper man Dad gave you, he can protect you at the moment, but if the paper man turns black, just throw it away.
The paperman doesn’t talk to you.
“Mom is safe most of the time, but if you see Mom’s eyes turned black, hide, don’t let her find them, whatever she says, don’t come out.”
“You must remember your mother, she loves you, and if you really forget her, you can turn on the phone and see a picture of our family.”
“Don’t fall asleep at night, if you feel sleepy.
If you see a gap in Grandma’s coffin, tell the lord immediately.
Grandma’s dead. She won’t say your name, let alone talk to you.
Don’t eat any candy and food here. Dad’s got seven days of dry food.
Please put the paper man next to the pillow before you go to bed.
Please close your eyes if you see your grandmother looking at you.
01
After Grandma died, my mother and I went home to attend her funeral.
After we left, I got a text from Dad.
I wrinkled my head and wanted to ask Mom what that meant.
But Mom’s been looking out the window, and she’s very tight.
Mom must be having a hard time right now.
I finally didn’t ask for an exit.
I took out the paper man and the candle in my pocket.
It’s in my pocket before my dad went on a trip and told me to keep it safe.
Paper people feel strange.
Some slipper.
Not like paper.
Its five officials were painted with red pens, and their lips were dipped with an exaggerating smile, which seemed strange.
After an hour’s drive, we came to the village.
The village is a very remote place.
The roads here are basically muddy dirt roads.
Meet us two middle-aged men.
Their attitude towards their mother was cold, but they were passionate about me.
It’s even a little too enthusiastic.
One of them looked me up and down in the open.
I held my mother’s hand a little nervous:
“Mom, who are those two uncles? I’m sorry.
“They’re mom’s brother. “Mother says it with no expression.
But Mom never told me she had two brothers.
I followed Mom to the temple.
In the middle of the temple, there was a dark red coffin.
The spiritual table, with Grandma’s remains.
Honestly, this is my first time seeing Grandma.
Mom never mentioned her, never brought me here.
I stood right next to my mother, and I was curiously staring at Grandma in the portrait.
Grandma looks a little bit like her mother and looks kind.
Suddenly, I felt something wrong.
But what’s wrong, I can’t say it for a second.
My body was instinctively cold and had a goose bump on my arm.
Finally, I noticed something wrong.
For a moment, my throat was strangled by a big hand.
I’m standing on the left of the remains.
But now, I should have looked in front of my grandmother’s eyes and looked at me.
I grabbed Mom’s hand so hard.
Please close your eyes if you see your grandmother looking at you.
I close my eyes.
02
When I opened my eyes again, my grandmother’s eyes had recovered.
I’m relieved.
Uncle asked me to give Grandma a scent.
I lit three fragrances and stood respectfully in front of the coffin.
In the coffin, Grandma’s eyes were closed and her face was the only gray of the dead.
There’s a strange suture around the neck.
I can’t help but speculate about Grandma’s death.
She’s wearing a black shirt.
This is the first time I’ve seen a body.
My heart still has a feeling of fear, even though it is a family I never met.
Especially after something so weird just happened.
Whoo-hoo!
Suddenly, I heard a clear blowout.
Li-hyang is gone.
Mom and two uncles are getting a little ugly.
I have a cold sweat in my hands.
Just now I’m sure I heard a human blow.
A few seconds ago, it was as if an invisible man had stood by my hand and breathed a breath into the fragrance, which then went out.
My back neck is chilly.
I heard two uncles whispering.
“It was weird when Mom died. I’m sorry.
“What are you talking about? I’m sorry.
They shut their mouths as soon as they sensed my sight.
I wrinkled.
What do they mean, Black?
“It’s gone, then. It’s probably the wind. “I’m not laughing at my uncle.”
But I know very well.
That’s not the wind.
Where’s the wind?
The incense was lit again.
I stood there unsettlingly and shivering with my hand holding the fragrance.
This time, there was no accident.
Mom stood next to me looking at Grandma’s face.
Not sad, but not happy.
It’s a complex look I hardly understand.
“You haven’t come back to visit Mom once in years. I know you still hate Mom, but she has to. The blogger says:
“Our mother loved red, so we bought her a red dress and let her go happy. I’m sorry.
When I heard my brother-in-law, I had a chill on my feet.
Grandma’s life jacket, isn’t it black?
03
Grandma in the coffin was clearly wearing a black dress.
But I looked at it again, and I was all chilly.
No, no, no.
It’s not a black shirt. It’s a black man lying on Grandma’s face.
How could I have misread it?
Uncles and moms look the same. I’m the only one who saw him.
At that point, I heard a very fine sound coming out of the man’s throat:
“Run away.
“Get out of here!
Run! Run! I’m sorry.
The cold on me just got bigger.
“Go talk to Grandma. She’s old enough to talk to you about your granddaughter. My uncle shot me on the shoulder.
As soon as he spoke, the black man disappeared.
And the garments of Grandma’s life were indeed red.
It’s a red colour, a white face for Grandma, and it looks like a strange feeling of discord.
I stood in front of the coffin, shaking and saying, “Grandmother…”
The next moment I saw Grandma’s eyes were closed and suddenly open.
Look at me dead.
I’m scared out of cold sweat.
But when I saw it again, Grandma’s eyes were closed.
It’s as if everything has just been my fault.
“Well, I’ll take you to your room. @Ambassah: #Gaza
I’m upset to follow my mom.
Mom moved her lips and whispered to me, “Be good these days, don’t run away, okay? I’m sorry.
I nod my head.
Even if Mom didn’t say so, I wouldn’t run away.
It gives me a very uncomfortable feeling.
It’s more like…
It’s like being targeted by something terrible.
I’ve been to his hometown with my father before, but never like this, like a man in cold water.
At that moment, my uncle suddenly looked at me.
And it was as if We had seen his eyes, and they were blackened.
But the next second, it disappeared again.
04
My room is very simple.
All the furniture in it is woody, with a bad smell of moist, as if it had been through the wind for a long time.
I can’t help but wrinkle my head off.
I don’t have a thing for blubber, but I can’t stand it.
I opened the window and wanted to ventilate.
Just as I pushed the window, I found two black prints on the window.
Handsprints are large, and fingers are two or three times longer than normal men.
There’s a picture in my head.
A man with dark hair fell down on the side of the window and died looking inside.
I hit a tremor and closed the window.
Since I’m staying here for a few days, I’ve decided to take out the sheets and the covers.
I pulled out the sheets, but I stopped.
There’s a very visible black stain on the mattress.
And the more I look at that stain, the more I feel like a man.
When I thought of the people who were lying on Grandma’s body, I was breathing sharply.
I don’t even want the sheets.
That’s when Dad texted me:
Baby, I’m afraid you’re a little upset now. I’m sorry Dad’s not around. _Other Organiser
You must go to sleep before 11:00, before you go to bed, and light the candles my father gave you.
Don’t turn on any lights in the room except candles.
If the light’s on, put your hands on your eyes.
If you’re not asleep before 11:00, don’t believe any of the voices that try to get you out of the door.
If you hear a bang coming out the window, don’t open the window, it’s probably the wind.
If the candles go off accidentally, please find your mother.
Dogs are human best friends, but they’re not safe here. If you hear a dog bark, don’t worry about it.
Don’t let Mom find the paper man Dad gave you.
If you see a black man in the room, hide in the closet.
There’s only clothes in the closet. There’s no second breath.
“If Grandma shows up in your room, go right into the covers and pull your son over your head so she won’t see you.”
It’s strange in the village.
[Daddy has some work to do, can’t talk to the baby, baby, remember, don’t tell Mom about the text, but you can be sure that she loves you. _Other Organiser
I called Dad.
I’d like to ask him, what are the rules on text messages?
Why can’t Mom know?
The phone was ringing for a long time, but it was never answered.
I’ve always had a feeling of unease.
Dad never takes my calls.
05
I just sorted out the luggage.
Suddenly, someone knocked outside the door.
I went over there and opened the door.
It’s Big Uncle.
He smiled at me, standing next to a girl.
“This is my daughter, Yuan, two years older than you, your sister. I’m afraid you’re alone here, so let her show you the environment. I’m sorry.
Siu Yuan is two years older than me, but looks much weaker than me.
She’s five officials, but her cheeks are dim, like malnutrition.
She walked over and grabbed my hand.
Round’s hands are cold, and I can’t help but beat one.
“Sister, I’ll show you the village for the first time. I’m sorry.
I followed him to the village.
There is no great difference between the village of Shuang and the ordinary village.
But I don’t feel the excitement of the first time a child from the city came to the country.
Because here, it’s so weird.
There was a bowl of raw meat in front of the door of every household.
It doesn’t look like meat to me.
The air is smelling of a little meat acid.
“My cousin, this is…”
“This is for Black. I’m sorry.
Lord Black?
I heard that name again.
“The Black Lord is our god who loves meat, so every season of sacrifice we slaughter fresh animal meat as a tribute.” I’m sorry.
“What kind of animal is this? I’m sorry.
Xiao Yuan looked at me and laughed:
“You look closer, don’t you? I’m sorry.
I was curious to go down and try to see what it was.
But the next moment, my entire scalp got numb.
I saw a human finger in the bowl.
The fingertips are covered with red nail polish.
“Aah!”
I cried briefly, and my eyes were closed in horror.
“What’s wrong? “I’m looking at you with a little doubt.
“In there are fingers…”
Little Round laughed:
“Are you out of your mind? Don’t be afraid, open your eyes. I’m sorry.
I put down my fears and looked down again.
There’s no finger in the bowl, it’s a chicken claw.
It’s shaped like a finger.
I’m relieved.
Looks like I was just looking at it.
A dog ran fast from me.
I saw something in his mouth.
I saw a faint red red.
That shape, very human fingers.
My heart beats up again.
06
“We people here respect Black Lords. Every year during the festival, the Black Lord chooses the bride himself. It’s an honor to be the bride of Black Lord. I’m sorry.
Xiao Yuan speaks of Black Lord and has a different look in his eyes.
“You know what? Actually, your mother was chosen by Lord Black. I’m sorry.
Xiao Wan opened her mouth and laughed strangely, “But she did something wrong to the whole village and she ran away.
“Your mother ran out of the village and never came back.
“That year, a lot of people died in the village, and everyone said the Black Lord was so angry because your mother ran away.
“Do you know how Grandma died? People in the village say that Grandma secretly let your mother go. I’m sorry.
Her eyes were wide open and her eyes were blown up.
“The night Grandma died, the dogs in the village were barking, and they screamed so badly.
“That same night, an old man with a disability in her legs and legs climbed down from her bed somehow and went to the kitchen and put her head on the tablet.
“and then he cut his head with a kitchen knife, and when my father heard the sound coming in, she had only one skin and a neck.
“As soon as I touched her, the whole head fell off. I’m sorry.
It’s a quiet narrative.
I listened cold and sweaty.
No wonder there was a black wire around her neck.
Tonight, Lord Black chose me as his bride. I’m not scared. I’m not gonna run away like your mother. “Small Round is laughing and saying,
She looked at me with her dark eyes.
It’s a cold run over my body.
“I’m hungry. I want to go back to dinner. I’ve made an excuse for this.
Yuan agreed to take me back to dinner.
On the way back, I always felt a sense of being watched.
I twisted my head.
After one household opened a gaping window, I saw a dead eye staring at me.
Those villagers are watching me.
They looked at me like a dead man.
07
The rules for eating here are strange. Women can’t eat at large tables.
Men can eat at large tables, but women can eat only at small tables in the kitchen.
On the small table, there’s a few bowls of greasy meat soup.
There are a few red pieces of meat in the meat soup.
The coyote swallows meat soup.
“Why don’t you eat? No meat can normally be eaten, only for the festival moon. I’m sorry.
I saw a piece of crumbs in her teeth.
I suddenly felt sick in my stomach.
Don’t eat any food here. Dad’s got seven days of dry food.
“I suddenly have a stomachache and I don’t want to eat. I covered my stomach and found an excuse.
The women didn’t force me to eat.
They look like they’ve been hungry for a long time and they’re swallowing meat soup.
And in the middle of it, it seemed as though they were drinking not broth, but a bunch of black things like hair.
I’ve got a headache.
Before I got up and went back to my room, I saw something coming out of my frown.
Red, looks like a fingernail cap.
My cold sweat came down.
08
I don’t know how to get back to my room.
Mom came to see me once.
I told Mom I didn’t want to stay here.
Mom’s been staring at me for a long time, and she’s finally sighing.
She touched my head and let me hold on.
I don’t know how long she said it would take.
Mom was spoiling me, always following me.
But this time, she repeated, “Lew, hold on a little bit longer. I’m sorry.
I can only promise Mom.
Before Mom left, she turned her head and got close.
She looked at me and said, “Did Dad send you any message?” I’m sorry.
My heart speaks of my voice and shakes my head and says no.
Mom left.
I’m already starving.
Open the backpack with the cookies Dad made me.
I ate it a little bit.
You must go to sleep before 11:00, before you go to bed, and light the candles my father gave you.
I turned on the lighter, ready to light the candles.
But today I don’t know what’s going on. I can’t light a lighter.
There was a little fire, but it went out very quickly.
“It’s strange that I’ve closed the window. There’s no wind. * I whispered *
But the next moment, I’m stuck.
I know why the lighter never lit.
I’m strangling my head.
Grandma looked at me with a gray face, open her mouth and cried out to extinguish the flames on the lighter.
I got a hum in my head.
“If Grandma shows up in your room, go right into the covers and pull your son over your head so she won’t see you.”
And I went into the covers quickly, and I couldn’t take advantage of it, and then I pulled the covers, and the whole people were condensed.
I can’t control myself, I’m shaking so hard, my back is cold.
The sound of dreary footsteps was ringing in my ears, a stiff hand scratched on my blanket…
I was so nervous about my heart beating, my ears buzzing.
I can feel my grandmother standing by my bed, facing her head, staring at me.
Let’s go!
Come on!
I pray in my heart.
Finally, the feeling of being watched disappeared.
I slowly lifted the covers.
Grandma really disappeared.
I have a long breath.
The back was already wet by cold sweat.
This time, I was able to light candles.
The room is dark.
Weak candles sway.
Don’t turn on any lights in the room except candles.
Please put the paper man next to the pillow before you go to bed.
Time on the phone shows, it’s 10:00.
I have to sleep before 11:00.
I took out the paper man and carefully put it on the pillow.
But the paper man’s face seems to have changed a little.
I don’t know if it’s my fault. I always feel different.
Its lips seem to be a little higher.
The more I want to sleep, the more my mind is awake.
I don’t know what happens without sleeping by 11:00.
But absolutely nothing good.
It could even be a terrible thing.
I close my eyes and I say, “Sleep!”
I don’t know how long it’s been, just as I’m going to sleep…
It’s like someone pushed the switch.
The lights in the room were on.
I’m unconsciously opening my eyes.
In a moment, my neck was chilling.
I finally understand why you can’t turn on the light.
Because I’m not alone in the room.
By my bed, there were several black people.
They look at me with their heads down and their bodies bend into an exaggerated radians.
09
It’s a very cold feeling from the bottom of my feet.
Every bone is in the cold.
I can feel that the heads of those people are slowly leaning down and coming closer to my face.
If the light’s on, put your hands on your eyes.
I was in a hurry to blindfold myself.
The moment I was blindfolded, I felt the light in the room went dark.
The cold feeling of the body is gone.
It took me a while to open my eyes.
Those people are gone.
The candles are still luminous.
Suddenly, I heard Mom’s voice coming out the door:
“Lew, you pack up and we’ll be out of here overnight.
“I found something wrong in the village. They’re trying to kill us. I’m sorry.
“Come on, hurry up. Let’s get out of here while they’re asleep. I’m sorry.
Mom’s anxious sound.
In response, I was busy with my backpack, and when I was about to go out, I stopped at once.
What time is it?
If you’re not asleep before 11:00, don’t believe any of the voices that try to get you out of the door.
I looked down at the time on the phone.
It’s midnight in the morning.
In other words, I woke up at the wrong time.
“Lew, what are you waiting for? Come on! I’m sorry.
Mom was anxious to say.
I’m watching people out there.
Is that guy out there really my mom?
10
“Wait, someone’s coming, damn it! I’ve been seen, Lemon. Open the door and let Mommy in! I’m sorry.
Quick knock on the door.
“He has a knife in his hand. Open the door! I’m sorry.
It’s getting loud.
I was so nervous about my nails.
What if the people outside are really moms?
“Lew! Open the door! He’s coming next to me! I’m sorry.
Mom’s voice is filled with fear and despair.
I hesitated to approach the door and reached out my hand…
“Ah, aah, aah!”
There was a terrible scream outside the door.
Blood sprayed on the door.
It’s red in my vision.
The heart is scratched.
“Little lemon open the door…”
Mom’s voice is getting weaker.
I heard the sharp instrument piercing the flesh.
Eleven.
But I slowly turned back my hand.
I’m sure at this point, the man outside the door, it can’t be Mom.
Mom would never let me open the door to her when it was so dangerous.
Even if her own life was threatened, she would not let anything happen to me.
Thinking about it, my face cooled down.
The voices outside the door are getting smaller and smaller.
It seems that after making sure I won’t open the door, the sound outside the door disappears and falls into a dead silence.
But this silence doesn’t make me feel any easier.
It’s so quiet.
Quietly weird.
I could hear the sound of the bugs, the sound of the leaves shaking, the sound of the wind blowing, and at this moment it all disappeared.
The faint moonlight that had been through the windows had also disappeared.
The door was darkened at an eye-visible speed.
As if there was a dark shadow, heavy, cast over it.
My heart is pounding.
Next moment…
And the light of my eyebrow glistened at a hand in gray, slowly thrust on a burning candle.
The candle’s on fire, it’s out.
If the candles go off accidentally, please find your mother.
I pushed the door almost as fast as I could to my mother’s room door, knocking hard:
“Mom, open up!”
Creaking…
The wooden door makes a sour noise.
The door in my room was pushed.
There’s something coming out of my room.
It’s coming near me.
Well…
Well…
Something rubbed the ground.
That sounds strange.
Looks like something crawled on the ground.
I was scared to the extreme.
The temperature around is falling rapidly.
It was a hot summer, but I breathed, and it turned into a fog.
I can feel that thing getting closer to me.
Next second, the friction stops at my feet.
I see tears in my eyes.
That thing…
Now at my feet.
The door opened at once.
Mom dragged me into the room.
Her body is warm.
It’s normal human temperature.
I held her and cried shaking.
Mom was silently patting me in the back.
When I was almost calm, I looked up and looked in her eyes and said, “You just saw it, right? Stand behind me. What is that? I’m sorry.
“A black shadow, long, invisible face.
“He was lying on the ground, looking at you dead. I’m sorry.
My mom was shaking and saying,
12
I heard fear in her voice.
I looked into my mother’s eyes, and I was silent, and I said, “Mom, do you know Black?
“Is it true that Yuan told me that Lord Black is the god to serve here and that you were chosen as the bride? I’m sorry.
Mom’s face slightly changed.
And for a long time, she groaned, and said, “Lew, this time I brought you back to solve this.
“According to the Black Lord, this is the custom of the land.” And it was true that Lord Black chose me as his bride.
“But I ran away, far away and never returned.
“I thought it would spare me, but I didn’t think it was just a diversion.
“Lew, look at your hands. I’m sorry.
I looked down.
Hand in hand, when a black circle appeared.
And We wringed the eyebrows so hard that it could not be erased.
“It can’t be wiped off, it’s Black Lord’s mark, which means you’re chosen to be his bride. I’m sorry.
“How is it possible? Cousin Yuan said the bride Lord Black chose was her. I’m sorry.
And I don’t believe that there is a black man.
“After the ceremony begins, Lord Black chooses a bride every two days. It’s a big appetite, a bride can’t satisfy it.
“The little circle is the first bride it chooses. I’m sorry.
Mom’s eyes were dazzling, like a long time ago.
“The girl it chooses is always in the bouquet, but none of them will return the next day.
“I was the third bride to be chosen, the first two were my sisters, but they never came back.
“The villagers said they had enjoyed themselves with Black. Indeed, every time a bride was sent, a lot of gold bars appeared at the door of the family the next day.
“Everyone thinks this is Lord Black’s bride price. We were poor as a child, so it was an honor to give our daughter to Lord Black as a bride.
“The second sister was smiling when she was put on the limo. Apparently, she’s interested in Lord Black.
“I was young and curious as to what Black Lord looked like, so I followed him secretly the other day without his attention. I’m sorry.
Speaking of which, Mom’s face is getting pale.
She’s breathing fast and her chest is on the ground.
Clearly, the following memories were very painful for her.
“Have you seen Lord Black?” I whispered.
My mother shook her head and said, “I did not see Black, but I saw the body of my sister.”
“Her body was left on the side of the road, with a big hole in her stomach, empty. I’m sorry.
Mom has a funny smile on her face.
She reached out and touched my hair with very cold fingers.
“It’s as if something was empty. I know, it was Black.
“The brides who did not return were killed.
I was only 12 years old, and I fled the village that night, and never came back.
“I thought I’d never come back here in my life until the day I saw the mark of Black in your hand, and I know it never spared me. I’m sorry.
Mom touched a sharp knife under the pillow.
The knife is etched with some complicated characters.
“Then I went to ask a tall man who told me that with this knife he could kill that thing.
“Lee, don’t worry, Mom won’t let you get hurt in any way. I’m sorry.
After listening to Mom, I have one more question.
Now that Lord Black’s choice is marked, how did Mom escape?
And why did you live all those years?
I raised that question.
But Mama put her hand in the air and said, “Go back to sleep, little lemon.” I’m sorry.
I’m up and ready to leave.
But I didn’t see it, just the moment I got up, Mom was staring at me in the dark.
13
When I returned to my room, as I was going to lie down and sleep, I found the paper man next to the pillow changed.
It’s missing a foot.
It’s broken.
It’s just the lips drawn out in red pens, but they’re rising.
I don’t know how long it’s been, but when my consciousness is a little blurry, I hear the sound of a blow.
14
It’s strange in the village.
The whiny sound went all the way into my ear, and it was accompanied by an empty cry.
I covered my ears.
Tell yourself.
Don’t listen.
I don’t know how long it took.
The locks are gone.
But immediately thereafter, an extremely sad cry broke the silent night.
“Ah, aah, aah!”
I was so scared I sat up.
That sounds like little circle.
It took more than a minute for the screams to subside and eventually disappear.
But no one came out to look at it.
I lie down in shock.
And then in the middle of the night, I heard the sound of banging and banging, like the sound of a knife cutting meat.
My whole back was tight and my ears were up.
The sound of the knife chopping meat lasted a long time before it disappeared.
And that’s when I heard a little movement from the window.
It’s as if someone knocked on the window with long nails.
If you hear a bang coming out the window, don’t open the window, it’s probably the wind.
I’m pale, and I’m covered in a blanket.
“Lew, it’s me.”
Outside the window, the sound of round came, “I escaped, I found Black’s secret.
“Dad, they lied to me.
“You were fooled by your mother. Let’s run away. I’m sorry.
I covered my ears.
It’s all fake.
There’s something wrong with Xiao Yuan.
There’s no way that thing standing outside the window could be a small circle.
I’m afraid to respond to her for a long time.
It’s starting to shine.
A loud chicken bark.
Little Round’s voice just disappeared.
I lay on my bed, and it was only when it was completely light that I could open the window.
The window was covered by two additional black handprints.
Last night, that thing, imitating round, was lying down at the window, staring at me.
I’m taking a deep breath, cold hair.
If I did open the window last night, what would happen?
15
After a while, my uncle came to my room:
“Lew, you’re up for breakfast, you’re going to have to eat a little more today, and you’re going to watch your grandma at night. I’m sorry.
Big Uncle’s face is smiling.
“Where’s Wan? * When I opened my mouth, my voice was so dry *
The smile on my uncle’s face is becoming more obvious:
“She was the bride of Lord Black yesterday, and he’ll be there for a long time.
“You see, this is the tweet she sent us yesterday, and she mentioned you specifically. I’m sorry.
Uncle gave me a message from Xiao Yuan.
I’m fine.
If only the little lemon were here.
Dead birds fell on my clothes.
I’m sorry. _Other Organiser
But my pupils were shrunk.
The beginning of each word becomes the word.
“I’m dying. I’m sorry.
I’m shaking a little bit and I can’t stand the look of fear.
My uncle’s eyes are growing deeper.
“Don’t know who the next bride is. I’m sorry.
After that, he left laughing.
I picked up the paper man and the candle and carefully put it in the entrance bag.
The paperman in the morning was more broken than he looked last night.
The right arm is missing a piece.
Today’s breakfast is still meat soup.
Full of meat soup.
The unique sweet smell of meat is in the air.
I’m a little sick.
Women still drink meat soup in their mouths.
One of them saw a girl of seven or eight swallowing, and whispering, “This meat is too much, dry…”
I picked up chopsticks and started to stir up in the soup.
A piece of meat with skin floated up.
There’s a little mole on it.
Like a mole on a tiny round face.
I ran out and held a tree and got sick.

Somebody pulled my horn.
I looked down, just that little girl.
She looked at me with concern: “Sister, are you all right? I’m sorry.
I barely smiled at her: “It’s okay. I’m sorry.
“When I get sick, my mother gives me sugar. I’m sorry.
The girl was down, looked right and left and took out a wrinkled candy from her pocket:
“This is the candy I didn’t eat before, and I’m hiding it. I’m sorry.
She put candy in my hand.
Don’t eat any candy and food here. Dad’s got seven days of dry food.
The candy wrapper had some dark red stains on it.
I opened the wrapping paper.
The next second, the screams were stuck in my throat.
My heart lies in a human eye.
The girl’s lips are moving, and the smile on her face is so radiant: “Sister, this sugar is delicious, it’s a small amount, and we treasure it every time it’s only for the moon.” I’m sorry.
I don’t know how I finally gave it back to the girl.
At this point, I have only one thought in my mind.
Everyone here is crazy.
I’m afraid he didn’t marry any Black Lord, but they ate him.
Run! Run!
Gotta run away with Mom.
17
I came to Mom’s room.
But Mom wasn’t in the room.
I called Mom.
The cell phone rings out of the bed.
I’m very upset.
Mom doesn’t even have a phone. Where the hell did she go?
“Don’t look. I’m sorry.
The voice of my second uncle came suddenly behind me.
I turned my head and watched him.
Uncle’s eyes were lifted and obese faces were greasy red.
“Want to leave here with your mother? I’m sorry.
I didn’t say anything. I looked at him faceless.
My uncle suddenly laughed:
“You son of a bitch, you look exactly like your mother when she was a kid.
“Little Lemon, just stay here. You heard about Lord Black.
“Guess why your mother brought you back here? I’m sorry.
His smile got weird:
“As long as the Black Lord chooses, there will be no escape.
“There’s only one way to escape, that’s to find an alternative.
“A man close to his own blood. I’m sorry.
I looked at my uncle’s face and said, “You’re lying, where is my mother?” I’m sorry.
“Who knows?” I might have run home by now, but there’s one thing I can tell you you can’t. If you want to go, try.
“Come on, I see you didn’t eat anything this morning. I brought you a special bowl of meat soup. Before we get married, we’ll have to regenerate. I’m sorry.
Uncle put soup on the table.
The sticky smell of meat is scattered in the air.
“I’m leaving, I have to watch the night…”
When my uncle turned away, I said, “Did this bowl of meat soup come from a small circle?” I’m sorry.
He turned around and looked at me like a madman:
“What are you talking about? How can we eat human flesh? I’m sorry.
18
After that, I left.
I messed up some broth with chopsticks.
There’s a couple of black hairs in the broth.
I look like shit. Turn around and throw up a few times.
But my uncle’s face didn’t look like it was on purpose.
There was also a girl in her early teens, and it was impossible to treat a person’s eyes as candy unless they were stupid.
And he’s the daughter of my uncle.
Then there’s only one possibility.
The villagers here are fascinated by something.
Is it Lord Black?
I’m really heavy.
I looked all over the house this afternoon.
But there’s still no sign of Mom.
I was so worried about Mom’s safety.
That’s when my phone hit twice.
Dad sent me a new text.
[Baby, you must be in a lot of doubt at this point, but please believe that Mom and Dad love you unconditionally. _Other Organiser
Is the paper man already broken? Don’t be afraid, as long as it doesn’t turn black, it will still protect you. _Other Organiser
If you hear a cat at night, you must be vigilant, not let the cat into the hall, not let it jump on Grandma.
If you find Grandma’s mouth open, find your uncle and stuff her most common gold ring in her mouth.
“Uncles will put a piece of paper on your grandmother’s face, and if the money slips, don’t turn back, run out of the hall, no matter who calls you behind you, don’t turn back!” _Other Organiser
You must be there in peace.
Don’t trust a man in a black tuxedo.
Don’t look at the ceiling of the temple.
There’s no sound in the coffin.
If you feel someone touching your shoulder, don’t worry, it could be your illusion.
If you hear crying, don’t be afraid, maybe it’s just the wind.
19
Late at night, Hall of God.
I was wearing a white filial dress and sat on the ground with my legs.
Uncle’s washing Grandma’s face.
Uncle came to me and said to me, “I haven’t seen it. It’s called a varnish. It’s usually made by the closest of the first children. Your grandmother loved to be clean when she was born and had to go clean after death. I’m sorry.
I’m not gonna talk to him.
Suddenly, I saw my uncle’s hand shivering a little.
His face suddenly became ugly and he shuddered and said, “Mom’s eyes open…”
My brother-in-law’s voice is coming down, and the air in the temple is freezing.
The second uncle’s face is not so good either: “Open it up, it’ll be hard to cover the money and keep Mom on the road.” I’m sorry.
Soon Grandma’s face was covered with paper money.
It’s just that Grandma’s face was completely covered up.
Next, it’s a long night watch.
The number of people watching the night was ten.
Five men and five women.
Everybody’s playing cards around the table.
About an hour later.
All of a sudden, there’s a strong urge to come up.
I’m really heavy.
It’s definitely not normal.
I drank several cans of coffee to stay awake.
But my eyelids started to pull down, and the horizon became blurred.
The contours of those playing cards not far away are also beginning to become blurred.
Wait…
Strange.
Since when, with so many players?
The Night’s Watch, isn’t it?
But I saw at least 20 people around the table.
And those people, they all look very swollen.
My forehead is cold sweating.
No, no, no.
That’s not human.
That’s clearly a black-faced man lying on those people.
That’s why they look so swollen…
It seems to have sensed my sight, and those people slowly twisted my face.
I bit my lips hard.
Pain kind of woke me up a little.
“Don’t fall asleep at night, if you feel sleepy.
I started to hum the songs Dad used to sing to me.
Strangely enough, when I started singing, the strong feeling disappeared.
I totally woke up.
I’m relieved.
I don’t know how long it took.
I suddenly heard a sharp cat bark.
A black cat stood on the window and the eyes of the green oil looked strangely at Grandma in the coffin.
If you hear a cat at night, you must be vigilant, not let the cat into the hall, not let it jump on Grandma.
“Don’t let that cat jump on Grandma! I’m yelling.
My uncle yelled at me and drove away the black cat.
But the black cat can always run.
And then a voice sounded, “I have ham sausages, I’ll throw them out the window! I’m sorry.
It’s a very young young voice.
The ham sausage was thrown out of the window and the black cat actually jumped out of the window.
“Who just made the idea?” Big help. I’m sorry.
But the rest of them are face-to-face, and none of them speak.
My heart beats fast.
People’s faces are starting to freak out.
Because nobody admitted it was their idea.
A young woman said with a white face: “That voice just now, it sounds very lively. And the men here are all grown up.”
And that voice was clearly the voice of a young man who was still in the process of changing his voice.
Here we are, seems to have one more person.
I’ve got cold sweat in my palm.
20
“Come on! Don’t scare yourself, maybe… maybe I’m wrong! The blogger says:
Everyone is in silence.
A cold rises from my tail.
How could that be wrong.
It’s like it’s ringing in your ear.
No one’s ever thought of playing cards.
There was a strange silence in the temple.
Everybody keep their heads down, brush the trigger, don’t talk.
All of a sudden, a woman stood up, and she said to the man next door, “Why did you just touch my neck? I’m sorry.
The man looked at her in the face and raised his hands in his pocket:
“I put both my hands in my pocket. I’m sorry.
Women’s faces are getting white.
Men seem to understand something, so they don’t talk anymore.
Women sit down and look like shit.
Nobody talks anymore.
The atmosphere in the temple is very depressing.
And then I suddenly heard a little whirlwind.
The sound came from the direction of the coffin.
That voice…
It’s like someone’s light and slow to lift paper money.
I was shaking around my head.
The money on Grandma’s eyes was not known when it had been removed.
She looked at me with dark, dark eyes.
21
At this moment, my head was buzzing, blank.
There’s only one thought left.
Run!
“Uncles will put a piece of paper on your grandmother’s face, and if the money slips, don’t turn back, run out of the hall, no matter who calls you behind you, don’t turn back!” _Other Organiser
I’m not going back to the temple.
“Song Lem, why are you running?” Get back here!
“We have your mother now. If you run, I’ll kill her right away! I’m sorry.
I’m two beats slow.
But the next second, I’m going to speed it up again.
But when did the road from the temple to the house get so long?
I can’t see the door to the house at this point, even though I’ve been five minutes before.
Forward, endless darkness.
I have a heart attack.
And then, suddenly, a hand shot me.
I turned around and it was Mom.
Mom’s a bit pale, and the whole person looks very pale.
It’s strange that after Mom showed up I could see where the door was.
I was so excited, “Mom, where have you been? They didn’t do anything to you, did they? I’m sorry.
Mother shakes her head with weakness and whispers, “Don’t say that for a second, lemon, go, let’s go to a safe place. I’m sorry.
She held me, and we went through a small road in the village to an abandoned cabin.
The cabin was covered with spider webs and heavy dust.
Obviously, no one has been here for a long time.
“This is my secret base as a child, where no one can find me. I’m sorry.
“Mom, where were you before, I was worried about you. I was anxious to ask.
My mother looked into my eyes, and she was silent, and she said, “I went to the place where I saw her body.” I’m sorry.
I stopped.
Mom’s face suddenly became very tight, and she grabbed my shoulder hard:
“Lew, when I got there, I knew that I had forgotten something very important.
“That thing, no… it’s Black Lord who puzzled my memory and made me forget the most important thing. I’m sorry.
She breathed, shivering and said:
At first, there was no Black Lord!
“What I saw that day was a group of people who cut the belly of their second sister alive, not a ghost but a normal human being, but whose faces were more terrifying than ghosts.
“I hid behind the tree and heard those people laugh and put their organs out of the body of the second sister in a box. One of them, the village chief!
“I will not forget that cruel smile on his face, saying that we, uneducated villagers, are so deceiving that, as soon as a natural disaster happens, they think it was God, and that he has created a black man of whatever kind, and he has convinced us.
“It was only then that I understood that Black Lord and Black Lord’s bride price was a lie made up by the village chief and that from the very beginning they were engaged in the trade in human beings, and that we poor girls were the best trade candidates. I’m sorry.
Mom has a painful and abominable face.
“The beautiful girls are sold abroad, and the ordinary ones become the tools of the rich to torture and kill. I’m sorry.
I’m shocked.
Can a fabricated lie convince the villagers for more than 20 years?
But if Black doesn’t exist, what happens to the mark that I can’t wipe?
Mom’s breath has become very heavy:
“Major Black, it did not exist at first, but later it did exist.
“The power of faith is far more terrifying than we thought. Once people believe it, it’s really born.
“Maybe even the mayor of the village wouldn’t have expected that a lie he was lying about would have come true.
“For 20 years, I’ve been looking for ways to kill Black Man, and I’ve got this dagger from the tall man.
“But I haven’t seen it once…
“I couldn’t find it, I looked for it, I couldn’t find it, I thought this time after it killed my mother, I could find it, but it still didn’t appear to me. I’m sorry.
Mom’s eyes are full of resentment.
“Why are you so far from Mom? I’m sorry.
I looked at my mother’s eyes and my feet were shaking and I took a step back.
“Mom is safe most of the time, but if you see Mom’s eyes turned black, hide, don’t let her find them, whatever she says, don’t come out.”
Mom’s eyes are black right now.
Even the white eyes are blacked.
Her dark eyes are staring at me.
Som, you have to calm down!
I said that to myself.
We have to find a place to hide!
But there’s no place to hide in the cabin.
“Mom, behind you is Black Lord? I’m sorry.
I pointed my face at my mother in fear.
Mom twisted her head.
I went out the window of the cabin.
Run!
Hide.
Mom’s not safe now.
I don’t know.
“Lew. Where are you? Why are you running away? Do you know that you’re in danger now? I’m sorry.
Mom’s anxious sounds are ringing not far away.
I’m hiding in a big pickle bowl, holding my breath.
The back is full of slimy cold sweats.
“Lew, come out! I’m sorry.
Mom’s voice is getting sharper, “Mom knows you’re hiding there…”
Mom’s voice is filled with a cold smile.
The dreary footsteps are moving towards my hiding.
My heart is beating fast.
All of a sudden, the lid of the big tub above his head was slowly removed.
Mom showed up with a cold smile.
Her eyes are still black.
“Lew, why are you hiding here? I’m sorry.
I’m shaking!
It’s over.
Found out.
Take care of the paper man Dad gave you, he can protect you at the moment, but if the paper man turns black, just throw it away.
I bit my teeth and I immediately took out the paperman.
Mom’s hand is coming at me.
I saw her finger.
Long, at least twice as long as a normal person, like the two handprints on the window.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew over.
The paperman in my hand was blown away.
The paperman floated into Mom’s face.
It was a light piece of paper, but it was like it was hit by something heavy, screaming and falling on the floor.
At this moment, I thought I heard Dad’s anxious voice:
“Lew, run!”
22
I ran out of the village.
All of a sudden, the dog barks like a cry.
A family that was already dark suddenly lit the lights.
“She’s gone!”
“The Black Lord’s bride is gone! I’m sorry.
“Don’t let her escape! I’m sorry.
The villagers came out of the house with their weapons and looked at me in a distorted manner.
They came close, quickly surrounded me.
The plain face, hidden in the darkness, is at this moment like an evil ghost.
“Please, let me go. Don’t go further. I cried with my cry.
The villagers looked at me without an expression, and there was nothing on their faces.
Those eyes are all black.
In the crowd, the little girl who gave me candy came out laughing.
She crouched in front of me: “Sister, why didn’t you eat the candy I gave you before? Eat it earlier, and you won’t suffer like this. I’m sorry.
Her eyes, too, are black.
It’s so dark.
I was desperate to find out that I was wrong at the beginning.
I thought Lord Black was confusing the villagers’ eyes.
But they’re already infected.
They were no longer normal people from the beginning.
23
My hands and legs were tied up and put in the limo.
At this moment, I’m in a state of panic.
Now I have lost my ability to act.
How do we get out of here?
Are these villagers really going to kill us?
The sound of the gibberish.
The palanquin swayed and was carried steadily.
But all of a sudden, there were a few hummings.
The limo fell on the ground again.
One hand opened the curtain.
Mom’s face appeared in front of me.
It’s just that the color of her eyes at this time is normal.
I know that Mom is safe now.
I’m so excited.
“Lew!”
Mom was busy untieting my hands and feet.
A number of villagers fell on the ground seven times over.
“Mom, since when are you so good? I’m sorry.
“My boxing fees have not been paid for nothing these years.” I’m sorry.
“We have to leave right away. The villagers are infected and will soon follow us. I’m sorry.
I was about to drag Mom away, and she stood there.
Mom? I’m sorry.
Mom has a very complex smile on her face.
I didn’t realize that until later.
It’s all about me and love.
“Lew, reach out. I’m sorry.
I reached out with doubt.
My hand and my heart, with a cold knife.
That’s the knife I saw with the letter.
“Lee, you’ve always been a good girl, haven’t you? I’m sorry.
Mom’s voice is soft.
I have a strong feeling of anxiety in my heart.
“Now, Mom asks you to do the last thing, to stab this dagger into Mom’s heart. “Mom calmly said,
It’s like asking me to do something ordinary.
I couldn’t believe what I heard.
“Mom, are you crazy?”
I was anxious to see my mother and I wanted to see a trace of infection in her eyes.
But Mom’s eyes are clear and transparent, and there’s no black at all.
Mom laughed:
“I’m not infected, now I’m completely awake.
“Lee, it’s too late for me to wake up.
“The tall man once said that something such as Lord Black, born of the power of human faith and fear, has to rely on a medium to survive.
“I can’t figure out why Lord Black never appeared before me until now, that it is in my body, that I am its parasite. I’m sorry.
Mom’s eyes are crying.
Her voice has also become intermittent: “I… I’m sorry for your father… I’m sorry.
“Mom, there must be another way! Let’s do something else together! I’m sorry.
I couldn’t cry.
“There is no other way. There is no more.
It’s too late! Do it! I’m sorry.
Mom murmurs, she’s getting a little black in her eyes.
“Lew! Do it! I’m sorry.
Mom yelled out loud.
I cried and held up my knife and pointed it at Mom’s chest.
But the next moment, my mother cried, “Lew, what are you doing? Mom doesn’t want to die. I regret it. Don’t kill me! I’m sorry.
Black has occupied most of her eyes.
I know that Black Lord has affected her mind.
If she’s completely miscarried, she’ll never be my mother again.
The one that covers me in the middle of the night makes me a lot of good moms.
“Don’t kill Mom, let’s think of something else…” Mom was shaking and saying.
I calmed down when I watched her eyes turn completely black.
The next minute, I had a knife in my hand and stabbed Mom in the heart.
Mom has a painful look on her face.
But the black in her eyes quickly faded away.
“Good boy, lemon.
“In the next life, be your mother. I’m sorry.
Mom showed me a smile.
My sight is completely blurred by tears.
Then he kneeled and cried.
24
A week later.
It’s Dad and Mom’s funeral.
Dad’s body was found in the closet in his room.
He was killed in a very cruel way and mutilated into pieces.
His death was the night before I went to Zhuang village.
I know who killed him.
But I know she didn’t mean it.
I looked at their smiles and tears.
After I killed Mom, everyone in the village recovered.
The brother-in-law was taken away by the police on suspicion of killing his daughter.
But he kept screaming. He was confused by Black!
Nobody believed him.
I tried to explain, but no one believed me.
And then Mom said the tall man found me.
He said he actually found him a few days before he died.
“Your father knew something about your mother, and perhaps he knew his fate.”
“He asked me to put his soul in paper after he died, and to protect his beloved daughter. I’m sorry.
I laughed.
I cried, laughing.
Finally, wept so much.
