Mu was seven years old at that time.
It's time for adults to send them to Silly Road Mountain for treasure hunting.
That year, from the beginning of the year, adults taught him to say four words:
"I'm cold, my whole body is shaking, and my arms seem to be shaking. Can I hide in your closet? "
"I'm cold and my teeth have been chattering. Can I stay in front of your stove for a while? "
"I am still cold. Can I go to your bed at night? "
"I am still cold. Can I hide in your heart? "
Mu Ling finally learned these four sentences from spring to summer, from summer to autumn, and from autumn to winter.
In this village called Didi, Mu Ling has always been a very good child.
Not far from Didi Village, there is a hill, which is the Silly Road Mountain Bag.
What is silly Lulu? Some stupid ghosts.
How stupid? In fact, no one can tell.
Adults sometimes think that children are not smart enough and scold them like this: "What a stupid road!" "
But stupid people are so stupid that adults dare not go near that hill. Because silly Lulu doesn't like any adults. I heard that when they see adults, they get angry and do some terrible things.
Stupid people only like children, any children!
The most mysterious and precious treasure is in the hearts of silly passers-by. Adults say that every silly passerby has a round and shiny bead in his heart.
That bead is very valuable.
In winter, Muling will be sent to the mountain bag on the stupid road by adults. The night before he left, he looked scared: "Will a silly Lulu eat people?"
"Of course not, they only eat big radishes." The adults said with a smile.
"But why don't you go by yourself?"
"Because stupid people hate all adults and like all children." Adults try to answer patiently.
"Why do you hate adults and like children?"
"There are too many reasons. If you hate it, you hate it. I like it if I like it. " The adults are getting impatient.
At dawn, Mu Ling still lingered: "What if I can't get my baby back?"
"Oh, absolutely won't happen. All children can get it back, every year. "
"But what if I can't get it back?"
"If you can't get it back, it can only prove that you are useless. We will be very disappointed. Maybe it will send you to a far, far place. "
In winter, the sun is always lazy and refuses to show up. Muling walked towards the stupid passerby's mountain bag in the dense fog. He was shaking badly. According to the adults, he is only wearing a thin coat and barefoot.
Muji is very cold. Trembling too much, the bones seem to be falling apart.
Muzero is afraid. Will you get caught? Will it be eaten?
Wood zero is also very curious. Silly passerby, what do you look like?
Trembling, he climbed up the mountain bag and walked into the silly village, like the winter wind, walking between houses.
The village is quiet. Are all the silly people still under the warm bed?
He didn't know which door to knock at, so he hesitated to stop in front of this door and eat in front of that door. Finally, a pair of golden knockers attracted him, and he couldn't help walking over, reaching out, touching and patting.
The knocker creaked and the door creaked.
Is that silly Lulu standing in front of Mu Ling?
He looks like a man, taller than his father, wearing a long gray robe, which looks full of cotton. The whole person is bulging and somewhat funny.
Ah, it's not terrible at all!
Moreover, Muling immediately fell in love with this silly Lulu's eyes. He has never seen such radiant eyes, as bright as neon lights in distant cities. Very bright, with a pleasant and gentle smile.
Oh, light. Wood zero gave him a name in my heart.
"You this child, how to wear so little? Ah, you are still barefoot, you will freeze. " Gently picked up MuLing, tore open the gray robe and wrapped it in his arms. His arms are so warm that Mu Ling really wants to be held by him all the time.
But he remembered what his father had taught him.
"I'm cold, my whole body is shaking, and my arms seem to be shaking. Can I hide in your closet? "
Just smiled and said, "Sure, why not?"
He handfuls of wood zero into the closet, a lot of thick clothes in the closet, wrapped in wood zero cold body. Mu Ling stayed in the closet for a long time.
At noon, light brought Chinese food to Muling, especially radish.
"What's your name?"
"wood zero."
"Oh, Muzero, it's time for lunch."
After lunch, Mu Ling said, "I'm cold and my teeth are chattering all the time. Can I stay in front of your stove for a while? "
Sure, why not? He stretched out his long arm and grabbed Mu Ling from the closet to the stove. Muzero's face suddenly warmed up.
This afternoon, they all sat in front of the fire. They eat radishes together in front of the stove, only big radishes and small radishes. The light made a loud "snapping" sound, and the wood zero made a small "snapping" sound.
At night, the lights are sleepy. He left the stove and lay in bed. Mu Ling said, "I'm still cold. Can I go to your bed? "
Sure, why not? Ray got out of bed with a smile, carried him to bed and tucked him into the hot bed. They slept soundly, and the light drooled on the pillow, and so did Muzero.
After breakfast, Mu Ling said the fourth sentence taught by adults: "I'm still cold. Can I hide in your heart? "
This sentence, wood zero said very lightly.
Light hesitated a little, narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course, why not?"
He lifted handfuls of wood to his chest, which was the position of his heart.
"Keep Milla's bottom code in mind, and you go in; Milla will come out soon, and you will come out. " He gently said to wood zero.
"The bottom code Milla goes straight to the heart." Wood zero gently read, in fact, he knows this spell. In an instant, overwhelming softness and warmth surrounded him. Wood zero really reached the heart of light, and he saw a round, shiny bead the size of an egg. He took it in his hand and said, "Ma Di Milla has gone home."
Muling went home, with round and bright beads as big as eggs in his hand.
Mom and dad were overjoyed. They said, "How big! When we were young, we never collected such big beads. Mu Ling, you are really great! "
Wood zero heart, originally have a kind of unspeakable feeling of tightness, immediately replaced by pride.
Then, mom and dad took the beads and walked away eagerly.
That winter, Muling was alone at home, very cold, very cold.
Spring is coming, and my parents came home with a big box of money.
Children in Didi Village, aged seven to eleven, are going to Silu Mountain to collect treasures.
In a blink of an eye, it was another winter. Eight-year-old Muling was sent by her parents to fetch the beads from Silly Lulu's heart.
Wood zero just walked into the silly mountain bag, just met the light.
What are we doing? Muzero suddenly panicked. He tried to escape, but the light caught him by the arm.
"Why do you wear so little on such a cold day? Alas, I am still barefoot, and I will freeze. " The embrace of light is so warm that Mu Ling really wants to be held by him all the time.
"What's your name?" Asked faintly.
"wood zero."
"Oh, Muji." He said.
It turned out that he didn't recognize the child who stole his beads last winter, and Mu Ling was secretly relieved. He couldn't help looking at those shining eyes. He found that the light in his eyes seemed to have diminished a lot.
"I'm cold, my whole body is shaking, and my arms seem to be shaking. Can I hide in your closet? "
Sure, why not?
The light brought Muling into the closet.
"I'm cold and my teeth have been chattering. Can I stay in front of your stove for a while? "
Sure, why not?
He dragged him from the closet to the fire.
"I am still cold. Can I go to your bed? "
Sure, why not?
He tucked him in and put him to bed.
"I am still cold. Can I hide in your heart? "
Light hesitated and said, "That sounds familiar. Oh, sure, why not? "
"The bottom code Milla goes straight to the heart." Muling went in, took the beads out of his heart, and then "Milla went home".
Nine-year-old winter, ten-year-old winter and eleven-year-old winter, Mu Ling met him. Adults say, don't look for the same silly Lulu. But Muji turned and met him every time.
Every time, the light can't recognize the wood zero.
"What's your name?"
"wood zero."
"Oh, Muji."
Every time, he gave him radishes.
Wearing a gray robe, the light in his eyes is getting less and less every year.
The beads in his heart are getting smaller and smaller.
Mu Ling remembers that the last time he went to his heart, the beads he picked were only as big as sesame seeds. At this time, Mu Ling suddenly got a cold shiver, and then a tear fell from her face. Silly Lulu is really stupid, he thought. But why so silly?
After eleven years old, Mu Ling can't go to the place where Lulu is stupid. This is the rule of Didi Village. Of course, more children will get babies and continue from generation to generation.
Since that year, Muzero's heart has always been cold and cold, and sometimes it takes a warm handbag to feel comfortable.
Although a heart is always cold, Muzero grew up day by day and became an adult.
Muling also had a child of her own, and the child was seven years old in a blink of an eye.
Soon, Muling will send him to Shanbao of Silly Road. From the beginning of the year, he taught children how to talk to silly Lulu.
"I'm cold, my whole body is shaking, and my arms seem to be shaking. Can I hide in your closet? "
"I'm cold and my teeth have been chattering. Can I stay in front of your stove for a while? "
"I am still cold. Can I go to your bed at night? "
"I am still cold. Can I hide in your heart? "
His children memorized these four sentences from spring to summer, from summer to autumn, and from autumn to winter, and finally learned them.
Of course, there is the mantra of "code Milla to go home".
Just the night before Muling was about to send her children to Silly Road Mountain Bag, someone knocked at the door.
As soon as he opened the door, Mu Ling saw the light-when he was a child, he had been to his heart. How could he forget?
At this moment, Muling is surrounded by deep anxiety. Silly Lulu never comes, yes, such a thing has never happened. They hate all adults. How did they come to an inhabited village?
But in the middle of the night, when the breath breaks into ice crumbs, the light comes. What is he doing here?
Muzero and the chopping block are almost as high, one in the door and the other outside, standing quietly for a long time.
Just wearing a gray robe, eyes are big, eyes are empty, and there is no luster at all! Like two deep pools that have been dry for a long time, desperate and at a loss.
Wood zero remembered the first time I saw the light, what bright eyes it was. For a second or two, his heart seemed to pass through something very sharp.
"What ... what are you doing here?"
Just say, "I'm cold. I'm shaking all over. My arm seems to be shaking. Can I hide in your closet first? "
As Muling told him when he was a child, it was almost word for word, which sounded like a conspiracy.
Wood zero hesitated slightly and nodded his head. He wants to know what light is going to do.
The light shone into Muzero's closet. He is too big to squeeze out a lot of clothes in the closet.
Soon, his voice came from the closet: "I'm cold and my teeth are chattering all the time." Can I stay in front of your stove for a while? "
Mu Ling said, "Sure, why not?" He wants to laugh a little.
They are sitting in front of the fire. There are no radishes in Muling's house. He found a sweet potato and handed it to the lamp, which waved.
The light doesn't sway as it did just now. He said that he knocked on many family doors this evening, and those doors opened with a creak, and then immediately closed with a creak. Nobody let him in.
He said, it's so windy outside that it makes your nose suck. If you don't suck it quickly, it will become an icicle.
He said, stupid people are moving. Because, I don't know why, the days on the mountain are getting more and more unhappy and difficult. They will move to a distant place, across mountains, rivers, deserts, grasslands and Gobi.
Wood zero thought, silly Lulu moved, what will life be like in Didi Village?
He said that he had one thing on his mind for more than ten years. I don't know who left it there I want to return it to him before I move. ...
Late at night, Mu Ling got into bed.
"I am still cold. Can I go to your bed? " Light said.
Mu Ling couldn't help laughing: "Of course, why not?" He added, "Next, you will say-I'm still cold. Can I hide in your heart? "
"Yes, how do you know? I'm still cold. Can I hide in your heart? " Light said.
This is really more and more like a conspiracy, exactly the same as what people in Didi Village are good at!
Can I let him into my heart? Wood zero thought, of course not. But why not?
"My heart is so cold, it is not a good place to warm up." Wood zero said.
"Actually, actually, I want to see your heart, can I?" Light smiled and asked.
"Can I hide it in my heart?"
"Yes, I am a ghost."
Wood zero thought, then hide and have a look. Is there any treasure in my heart besides the cold?
"The bottom code Milla goes straight to the heart." He read it. As soon as the voice fell, he disappeared. Did he really enter Muzero's heart? Wood zero heart, suddenly heavy.
Mu Ling sat in front of the fire, waiting for him to come out.
He waited for many days, but there was no one.
Is the light out?
More likely, he also took something from his heart like Mu Ling did when he was a child and left without saying goodbye.
But what's in Muzero's heart?
About seven or eight days later. Wood zero heard a "bottom code Milla out", light standing in front of him.
A pair of eyes are bright, as bright as neon lights in distant cities.
"You have been in my heart for so long," Muzero was overjoyed when he saw the light. "What's in my heart? Your eyes look radiant. "
"There is a bead, round and shiny, as big as an egg."
Huh? Wood zero was surprised.
"That bead is full of memories of your childhood."
Memory? Wood zero still with his mouth open, some silly.
"You saw me on the bead in your heart."
Wood zero face flushed bright red.
"Your name is wood zero.
"Have you ever been to my house?
"You took five beads from my heart, one smaller than the other, right?
"I hugged you, right?
"I'll give you a radish.
"……"
Are these all in my heart? Wood zero thought, indeed, these things, he never forgot. He couldn't help burying his head.
"Every ghost has a bead in his heart, and so do you. Every bead contains happy, sad, ordinary and extraordinary memories. When you were young, you took away my memories. No wonder my heart is always so empty and always at a loss. "
Muzero buried his head even lower.
"I see you call me light in your mind, right? I like this name, thank you! "
Because of this "thank you", Mu Ling raised her head slightly: "Do you hate me?"
"Yes, you stole my memory. How can you not hate it? " Just said, "But now, I am very happy because I found them. More importantly, I know what is left in my heart. "
"What is it?"
"It's tears."
"Tears?"
"I know who left it."
"who?"
"You! You came to my heart for the last time and shed a tear. What remains in my heart is it-your tears. "
Wood zero eyes, tears poured out.
"I decided not to give it back to you. I like these tears very much. Can I take it with me? " Light blinked his shining eyes and pleaded.
"Yes," Muzero became happy. Sure, why not?
At dawn, the lights went out, and silly passers-by moved away from this morning.
Goodbye, Muzero!
Bye, ray!
Maybe I'll never see you again.
But on that very cold night, Muzero found a warm feeling in his heart.
Many of Tang Tang's works take ghosts as the main characters. Most of the ghosts in her works are human, kind, timid and naughty, and the stories are warm and touching.
