My spirit seemed to be divided, and I was anxious and excited at the same time. These two emotions are not intertwined, but separate.

When I ran all the way to the gate of the courtyard, I found the Iron General hanging at the door.

Like a closed warehouse, with chains wrapped around the door knocker and locks the size of a child's fist, it looks unusually heavy and strong.

The chains were covered with dust, and the color of the door panel had faded, as if it had been raining for a long time, and no one was taking care of it.

Looking up at the courtyard wall, I didn't see the tall trees in the courtyard, only the blue sky, white clouds and a faint bright sky.

I pulled the lock and found that the chain was real, and the lock was indeed locked, so I couldn't help but be anxious.

This time, the mood is unified.

I took two steps back, looked around, and one leaped up the wall.

In an instant, the scenery becomes different.

There is a large tree in the courtyard, and the canopy of the tree is much higher than the courtyard wall. The foliage is dense and is a dark green, like a summer tree.

When I hung on the courtyard wall, I could feel that there was a significant temperature difference between the two sides with the courtyard wall as the boundary. It's summer inside the hospital, it's still spring outside the hospital, and it's hot and cool on the other.

I heard the screams of knowing, endless, deafening.

On the top of the trees, small animals such as squirrels and birds were running around, causing the leaves to shake in circles.

The doors of the rooms in the courtyard were closed, and the windows were not glass, but papier-mâché windows, so that the inside could not be seen from the outside. There are no lights, and it looks like no one is there.

I took a deep breath and tried to climb over the wall to get in, when suddenly I felt a strong wind and a torrential rain in the courtyard.

I don't know when, the sky split into two distinct sides. On the top of the courtyard, dark clouds covered the sun, and in the thick clouds, electric light flowed.

There was a boom, and then lightning crackled and fell in the clouds.

After a purple light, the big tree was split in half, and half of it fell and pressed towards me.

I was so startled that I had to let go and fall to the ground.

As soon as I landed, I saw that the sky was still the same as it had just dawned, the sun hung obliquely in the east, the sunlight was not dazzling, and the white clouds in the air were also a little thin, and there was no such scene of dark clouds covering the top and lightning flying wildly.

There were no fallen trees on the courtyard walls.

My heart was pounding, and I was jumping up the wall again. When I reached out, I realized that instead of the dust on the courtyard wall, I was grasping a handful of leaves. My hand was pricked by a branch, and it hurt so much that I let go. A large patch of green flashed through my eyes, and I had fallen back to the ground.

This time, I was caught off guard, my foot twisted, my palm tingled, and my ankle was also painful.

I looked at my hand, and a red mark appeared. The leaves fell from my hands and lay quietly on the ground.

It's all true.

I shuddered, thought of my nephew, and walked a few steps to the side, trying to climb the courtyard wall.

It's just that my foot bent a little, and I couldn't use it a little, so I tried twice before I managed to grab the wall and climb up with difficulty.

A bolt of thunder and lightning fell almost against my face, making my eyes white, and I could see nothing but a purple-blue light in the background of the white flowers.

The sound of thunder and lightning striking things was incessant. The cicadas are gone, and all that remains is the sound of torrential rain.

My hands were beaten to the pain, but only my hand that had crossed the courtyard wall was hit by the rain, and the rest of my body was dry and dry.

I blinked, barely regaining my sight, and had a vague view of the horrors inside the compound.

The thunderbolts were one by one, splitting the courtyard into pieces, but the houses were intact and there was no damage. Thunder and lightning don't fall on the house. But the rainwater flowed down the roof tiles, like a row of waterfalls, completely covering the house.

I felt my heart pounding.

In such an environment, it is impossible for me to climb over the wall to get in.

There was a loud shout from behind him: "What are you doing kid! ”

I turned my head to see an old man glaring at me, pointing at me and yelling at me to come down.

I also knew that my actions were misunderstood.

I looked at the courtyard again, and reluctantly let go of my hand, and my feet hit the ground, making me grin for a while.

"Hey, you're still making weird faces! Don't learn well at a young age! I'm going to steal something! The uncle rushed over like an old and strong bull.

All I could say was, "I know the owner here." I want to come to him. ”

"You're a fool to me! The family in this house has long since moved out! You thief still denies it! "Uncle grabbed me, and his hand was like an iron tong.

I don't want to struggle violently, and it's even harder to do it to an old man who is brave and brave.

"I really know. Met when I was a child. I know they're out of the country and want to see if they're back. I also live in this area. I reluctantly explained, "A few years ago, just six or seven years ago, I saw a foreigner move in here......"

"You don't talk nonsense! No one has been back in this place for many years. The uncle's expression softened slightly, and he looked at me a few times.

"I've really come across it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here today. When is it bad to steal something? I didn't bring anything, where do I put it if I steal something? I said.

Uncle stared at me suspiciously.

"You really haven't seen anyone in or out of here? Such a tall foreigner, with blue eyes and a mustache underneath. I gestured and looked at the old man expectantly.

The uncle shook his head and let go, "I haven't seen it." Come on. If you're not a thief, don't climb someone's wall. You ......," he paused.

I didn't dare to squeak, I was really afraid of going to the police station.

But I was a little disapproving. I don't know where my indifference comes from, it doesn't seem to be because I'm sure I'm innocent and won't be desired, I just don't care.

"I did see it locked one night......," said the old man suddenly, glancing at the chain, "There seems to be movement in the room." ”

"Someone is living in it!" I was refreshed.

"Hmm...... The police station said that it was the family who came back to do something...... "Uncle squinted at me."

"I really know what I live here." I said sincerely.

"That person is no longer here. Don't you see such a big lock? Also climb the wall. Young people now! "Uncle drove me away.

I saw that there were more people on the road, and it was inconvenient for me to climb the wall again, so I had to leave in a hurry.

When I walked home, my feet didn't hurt much anymore, and my heart was heavy.

Before the door could be opened, it was opened. Tears welled up in my mother's face.

"Mom......"

"Something happened to Yang Yang! Their car, overturned! Mother said urgently.

My head was clouded, and I thought of the phrase I heard that night.

Next, my mother and I rushed to the hospital and saw my brother and sister-in-law, as well as the child.

There are thirty students in one class, plus the teacher and driver, for a total of thirty-two people. The bus was hit by a high-speed car, and it rolled over on its side, and the children in the car fell into a mess, but there were no other injuries except for a few abrasions and contusions. No one was hospitalized, didn't even bleed, and didn't have to dress their wounds.

The police, the doctors are lamenting miracles.

I noticed that although many of the parents present had tears on their faces and looked haggard, they all maintained an eerie silence.

There is no happiness for the rest of the life, only a subtle atmosphere lingering among the crowd.

Everyone looked at each other, peeking at the people around them, and their expressions became more and more strange.

It wasn't until someone awkwardly said they wanted to leave, and someone silently led the child directly away, that the solidified state flowed again and gradually returned to normal.
