Chapter 6 Aunt Li
Li Chang glanced at the sky. The sun was about to go off work, so he had to hurry up.
Originally I just planned to take a short nap, but I didn't expect that troublemaker Li Meng to secretly change his alarm clock, almost missing an important event.
Li Chang first went to the nearest vegetable market and bought a live chicken. He carried a knife and walked on a street where he usually had breakfast. When he came to Grandma Li's bun shop, Li Chang stopped. The door of the bun shop
It was closed, and there was not much business in the afternoon. Grandma Li had already gone home by this time.
Li Chang glanced at the closed door of the steamed stuffed bun shop, then turned and walked into a side alley. Grandma Li's steamed stuffed bun shop was located at the corner of this breakfast street. Next to it was a dead end, a dank alley.
On weekdays, residents living nearby are accustomed to placing large items that have been discarded from their homes here. If they meet people in need, they can just take them away. It can be regarded as a kind of waste recycling.
In order to prevent these large items from getting wet when it rains, some kind people specially erected a large black hood in the alley. This also makes the alley unable to get sunlight all year round, making it dark and humid at this time.
, it is obviously not dark yet, but the brightness and visibility deep in the alley are already very low.
Li Chang walked in carefully, crossed an abandoned sofa, tried not to touch the large abandoned furniture in the alley, and came to the depths of the alley. The walls deep in the alley were covered with children's mischievous graffiti, including one
The dark shadow looked like a person with his back turned. Looking at this dark shadow, Li Chang swallowed his saliva and said, "Aunt Li, I'm here to see you."
Following Li Chang's voice, something strange happened. The black shadow seemed to be able to hear Li Chang's voice, and turned around slowly. When the black shadow completely turned around, a terrifying face appeared on Li Chang's face.
in front of my eyes.
Li Chang's eyelids twitched. Even after seeing it so many times, Li Chang still felt his heart tremble every time he saw "Aunt Li's" face.
"Aunt Li's" pale face was covered with streaks of blood and wounds. The most frightening thing was that a long glass block was inserted into "Aunt Li's" right eye.
"Aunt Li" looked at Li Chang in front of her without saying a word or making any movement.
Li Chang noticed "Aunt Li's" gaze and subconsciously avoided it, lowering his head so that he would not look at that terrifying face.
"Aunt Li, I went to the vegetable market today and bought a chicken. I know you like this." For some reason, Li Chang never heard "Aunt Li" speak, because there was no comparison, and he didn't know that it was just "Aunt Li".
"Aunt Li" can't speak, or all of them can't speak.
Without waiting for "Aunt Li" to reply, Li Chang took out the knife from his arms, pointed it at the rooster's head, and the rooster in his hand seemed to know its next fate and began to struggle desperately.
Li Chang quickly pressed the rooster's head to the ground with his left hand, then pressed the rooster's body with his left knee. The knife on his right hand stabbed into the rooster's neck. The rooster cawed twice, and a pair of
The chicken wings kept flapping on the ground, and blood continuously flowed from the chicken's neck.
Seeing that the cock's struggle became weaker and weaker, Li Chang slowly let go of the cock, took a step back, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves.
When Li Chang retreated, "Aunt Li" walked towards the rooster, as if attracted by the dying rooster. "Aunt Li" squatted down and stared at the rooster until the rooster stopped moving.
stood up.
Li Chang could feel "Aunt Li's" joy. Although there was no obvious expression on "Aunt Li's" face that was full of wounds, he could still see the slightly raised corners of "Aunt Li's" mouth.
Sure enough, performing a living sacrifice in front of Hush was a kind of satisfaction for Hush. Before, Changyou tried to bring other things to "Aunt Li", such as incense and paper money, but they all had no effect.
But after many attempts, so far, Li Chang has found that "Aunt Li" will only react when sacrificing living creatures. In other situations, whether it is burning incense, paper money or paper people, "Aunt Li" will just hide.
There was no reaction on the wall, and only when Li Chang brought in the poultry, "Aunt Li" would turn around and walk out.
Li Chang came to a terrifying fact. Perhaps, for "Sh", only killing can satisfy them and make them happy.
They are naturally happy to kill! Kill!
Even Li Chang could see that when the rooster was completely lifeless, a black thread floated out of its body, and "Aunt Li" couldn't wait to swallow it. This black thread
, is the only thing that Li Chang saw "Aunt Li" eat. Perhaps killing is not just satisfaction for them, but also "food", and they make a living from it!
Li Chang couldn't imagine how sad the people living in this world would be if his guess was true, and how scared people would be if they knew the truth.
In the food chain, they are naturally prey and a kind of food.
In Li Chang's original world, human beings have stood at the top of all kinds of creatures for too long. Other creatures can be simply divided into two categories for humans, those that can be eaten and those that cannot be eaten temporarily. In this world,
Humans actually have natural enemies!
Speaking of which, "Aunt Li" is not Li Chang's biological aunt, they just happen to have the same surname, and there is no blood relationship between the two parties.
"Aunt Li" is the daughter of Grandma Li of Baozi Shop. She was about forty years old when she was alive. She got married and gave birth to a son.
One day, when a family of three were driving out for fun, they were rear-ended by a large truck while passing through an intersection. The family of three were killed on the spot, but the drunk truck driver was only slightly injured and was sentenced to ten years in prison for drunk driving.
Years ago, he is still undergoing educational reform in prison.
Grandma Li's wife left early, and from that day on, Grandma Li was the only old man left alone in the family.
I still remember that when I first traveled through time, Aunt Li was running the Li Ji Steamed Bun Shop, and it was Aunt Li that Li Chang met while buying steamed buns at Li Ji.
Grandma Li's husband died early in her life. After her daughter's family left, she no longer had any relatives in the family. Fortunately, her family was relatively wealthy. Grandma Li had no worries about food and drink for the rest of her life. However, maybe it was to miss her daughter or to pass the rest of her time.
, Grandma Li decided to continue to open the bun shop that had been handed over to her daughter.
The next time I saw "Aunt Li" was during the ancestor worship season that year.
After school that day, Li Chang was walking home. When he passed an intersection, he saw Grandma Li standing at the intersection, staring blankly at the road, with a woman standing next to her.
Later, Li Chang learned that the intersection was the same intersection where Aunt Li's family of three had a car accident.
Because Li Chang bought steamed buns at Li Ji’s steamed bun shop every morning and was very familiar with Aunt Li, Li Chang recognized this woman as Aunt Li even through her approximate figure. At that time, Li Chang didn’t know that Aunt Li’s family was born.
Regarding the car accident, I was also surprised why Li Ji Baozi Shop was not open for several days in a row.
They were all neighbors and familiar with each other. Li Chang thought he had just seen them, so he was about to go over and say hello. From a distance, he saw "Aunt Li" and Grandma Li standing face to face.
Grandma Li opened and closed her mouth, saying something. The distance was too far, and Li Chang didn't hear a word.
Aunt Li seemed to want to touch her mother's face. Li Chang saw Aunt Li, whose back was turned to him, raise her hand and gently touch Grandma Li's cheek.
The next second, Li Chang's pupils shrank and his steps stopped.
"What happened?" Li Chang wiped his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong. Just now, Aunt Li's hand "pierced" through Grandma Li's head.
Li Chang tightened his backpack, looked around, adjusted his direction, crossed the path on one side, bypassed the two people standing at the intersection, and ran to the other end. When he looked closer, his heartbeat slowed down a beat, and his whole body almost
Just take it easy.
Because my back was turned, I couldn't see clearly the face of "Aunt Li" before. Now I changed the direction and could see clearly. I saw that "Aunt Li's" face was covered with bumps and bloody wounds.
Her face was covered with glass shards, and what was even more frightening was that a long piece of glass pierced "Aunt Li's" eye.
Li Chang carefully observed the existence that was suspected of being Aunt Li. The clothes it was wearing were the casual clothes that Aunt Li liked to wear most on weekdays. Its height and body shape were also very similar to "Aunt Li's". Although there were wounds on its face,
If you look carefully, you can still vaguely make out that it is Aunt Li.
"Aunt Li" focused all her attention on Grandma Li and ignored Li Chang.
Li Chang did not dare to look at "Aunt Li" anymore, and then looked at Grandma Li who had her back turned to him. Grandma Li was holding a plastic bag in her hand. The plastic bag was filled with paper money, paper figures, and some incense sticks and ingots. Li Chang
I had some vague guesses in my mind, but I wasn't sure.
"It's Xiao Chang, school is out?" Grandma Li seemed to notice someone watching her. She turned around and saw Li Chang. Grandma Li calmed down and said with a smile.
"Yes, school just ended. Grandma, what are you doing here?" Li Chang glanced at "Aunt Li" and asked in a low voice.
"Oh, your Aunt Li is gone. Today is her first day. I don't know if your Aunt Li is doing well down there."
"Xiao Chang, you don't know that your Aunt Li has been timid since she was a child. She was often bullied by her classmates when she was studying. She hugged me and cried every time she came back from school. Hey, I don't know if she will be bullied down there now."
"I will burn more paper money for her, um, burn more, so that when she is bullied, she will give some money and she will not be bullied." Grandma Li looked at the road, her eyes dazed, thinking of her daughter when she was a child.
time, he muttered.
"Grandma, my condolences." No, it's not down there, it's right in front of you, Grandma. Li Chang felt the urge to shout crazily in his heart.
After hearing what Grandma Li said, "Aunt Li" on the side made a move. "Aunt Li" knelt down in the direction of Grandma Li, her head lightly touched the ground, and her shoulders kept moving up and down. "It" was crying.
What? All of this is silent, and Chang Li has the illusion that he has entered a silent movie.
"Then, Grandma Li, I'm going home first." Li Chang felt his eyes were a little astringent and felt like he was about to cry. He suddenly thought that he didn't know how those who knew him in the original world would react if they knew about his death.
Isn’t it true that some people will feel sad for their departure, and will some people miss themselves? Is that so?
"Good boy, you go back first. Be careful on the road and don't keep your parents waiting." Grandma Li smiled kindly at Li Chang, waved her hand, and looked towards the road again. I don't know what Grandma Li thought of.
After saying goodbye to Grandma Li, Li Chang did not go home immediately. Instead, he ran a little further away and hid behind a clothing store on the street, secretly observing the intersection.
Grandma Li took out the paper money, paper figures, and ingot candles from the bag and placed them on the street corner to burn. Looking at the burning flames, Grandma Li seemed to say something to the road, and intermittent sounds came from the wind,
She was too far away and couldn't hear clearly. Li Chang thought that maybe Grandma Li was telling her daughter something she didn't have time to say before.
After the burning, Grandma Li didn't make any more movements. She squatted on the street corner alone, staring at the road in a daze, just watching quietly.
