Chapter 38 Lying in the pit When Chen Sheng

opened his eyes the next morning,

he saw a magnified face of his grandmother.

He was shocked.

"Grandma?"

"Why did you get up so early?"

"I, I, is there something on my face?"

Those deep eyes were like two deep ancient wells.

They were staring at him at this moment.

When Chen Sheng looked into her eyes,

he felt like he was being sucked into those bottomless ancient wells.

Although this time was no different from every time he went home.

But for some reason, he suddenly felt a little scared this time.

Grandma Chen pulled the corners of her wrinkled mouth and looked at him and said.

"Get up and eat."

"You little lazy boy."

The tone was the same as usual.

Chen Sheng touched his head,

"I'll get up right away."

After Grandma Chen went out,

Chen Sheng shook his head again.

He felt that he might have been confused from sleep.

Otherwise,

why did he feel that his grandma's voice was a little ethereal.

Chen Sheng:...

I wanted to give the two old people a surprise today.

But he ended up

giving himself a surprise first.

Chen Sheng got out of bed.

After going out, I found that

there was a lot of dirt on the backs of the two old people.

Chen Sheng asked,

"Did you two go to the fields again this morning?"

Grandpa Chen said "Hmm".

Grandma Chen started to serve the meal.

Chen Sheng said,

"Take off your clothes later and I'll wash them for you."

While eating,

Chen Sheng suddenly remembered something.

"Is there someone in our village going to do something?"

"I met several people when I came back last night."

"But they didn't pay attention..."

Halfway through his words,

Chen Sheng found that his grandparents seemed not to have heard him.

The two of them also kept eating.

The dishes on the table did not decrease.

The rice in their bowls was the same.

It seemed that they were only chewing the one in their mouths.

Chen Sheng looked at this one, then looked at the other.

He asked tentatively,

"Grandpa?"

"Grandma?"

"Why... don't you eat?"

The two looked up at him at the same time.

Chen Sheng: !!!

"What, what's wrong?"

"Why are you... looking at me?"

Grandpa Chen said,

"Why didn't you eat? You haven't eaten."

Chen Sheng: ???

He?

He hasn't eaten?

Impossible.

He looked up.

His bowl was indeed full.

The other two were already empty and ready to put down their chopsticks.

Mr. Chen: ?

Did he have a serious illness at such a young age?

It wasn't even noon yet.

Mr. Chen's stomach was growling with hunger.

He went to the kitchen to eat, but after searching for a long time, there were only two moldy buns left.

Mr. Chen: ?

No,

what about the rice from the morning?

Was there nothing left? ? ? Mr. Chen was starving all day . 

He felt that all the three meals he had eaten in a day went into his stomach. He 

was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back. 

For dinner, 

Mr. Chen ate as much as he could. 

He ate a lot of food, but still felt not full. 

Later, he had a few more lettuces and felt barely okay. After 

a day of rest at home, 

he became particularly energetic at night. 

Although the lights were off, 

he lay on the bed and played with his mobile phone. 

Suddenly, 

there was a series of "da da da" sounds outside the door. 

Mr. Chen didn't care at first. 

His grandparents each had a walking stick. 

From the sound, it seemed that they were the ones who went out. 

Chen Sheng climbed up from the bed. 

He remembered something. 

They went out without turning on the light. 

They were old and their eyesight was not good, so how could they not turn on the light? 

Just when Chen Sheng went to turn on the light, 

he heard the sound of "da da da" getting closer and closer. 

At this time, 

it seemed to have come to his window. 

Chen Sheng opened the curtains and looked, and he was almost scared to his knees. 

An old lady's face was pressed against the window, and her dark eyes were looking at him dimly. 

After Chen Sheng reacted, he found that it was his grandmother. 

However, 

in the blink of an eye, 

his grandmother was gone. 

Chen Sheng leaned on the windowsill and found that his grandmother walked without making any sound. 

Chen Sheng's heartbeat accelerated, and he picked up the flashlight and went out. 

He followed behind his grandparents. 

He was sure that 

except for the sound of the walking stick poking the ground, he could not hear the sound of their walking. 

Therefore, 

the people he saw last night were not because of the problem of shoes. 

It was because they walked without making any sound. 

In this world, 

only ghosts walk without making any sound. 

Even though Chen Sheng was afraid, 

he secretly followed. 

The path was originally deserted, but more and more people were on it. 

Chen Sheng found that

These are all people from their village.

The weird thing is that so many people just seem to float by, without any sound at all.

Chen Sheng: !!!

What happened in their village?

Following the villagers all the way.

Chen Sheng came to a big tree at the foot of a mountain.

The tree is about hundreds of years old.

Because when he was a child, the trunk of this tree needed several children to hug it.

Even adults needed two or three people.

Chen Sheng suddenly noticed that there was a pit under the big tree.

And all the people in their village lay in the pit.

Chen Sheng: !!!

No wonder he found dirt on his grandparents' backs this morning.

He thought they went to work in the fields.

Unexpectedly, they lay directly in the fields at night.

And those people he met last night, probably came here too.

By the way,

he dreamed of the sound of crutches last night.

Could it be that it was not a dream!!!

Did his grandparents sleep here last night?

Chen Sheng was scared and wanted to go forward to take a look.

After thinking about it, he ran back home.

He could still go forward and bring them back one or two at a time.

But the people in the whole village...

he really couldn't do it.

After returning home,

Chen Sheng didn't sleep all night.

At about four or five in the morning. He

heard the sound of a cane.

Chen Sheng stood in front of the window and secretly lifted a corner of the curtain.

Upon seeing,

it was indeed his grandparents who came back.

The two came in with crutches, as if nothing had happened.

But after dawn, the gray and white color on their faces became more obvious.

After that,

his grandmother started to cook.

His grandfather helped her on the side.

But he didn't see the meal, but the table was full of green leaves.

Thinking of the food he had eaten before, it was very likely these leaves.

Chen Sheng pinched his neck and vomited.

After vomiting for a long time,

he found that his saliva had indeed turned green.

Chen Sheng: !!!

He wiped his mouth.

But he was stunned when he went out.

He said,

"I clearly saw that those were leaves, but when I left, they turned into white rice and vegetables."

"What's even more strange is that I can still smell the fragrance of the food."

"With a swish," the driver stopped the car.

Mr. Chen:?

"Master?"

"Why did you stop the car suddenly?"

The driver looked at Mr. Chen.

"I'm not going this time."

"You should find another car."

"I want to make money, but I'm not risking my life!!!"
