There is such a legend. When a person has a nightmare, there will be a ghost standing by your bed, watching you quietly. Sometimes, it will sit on you, especially at midnight.
Mu Tian is a high school student. After school that afternoon, he did not rush home, but walked around outside before going home. Strangely, as soon as he got home, he felt a dull pain in his head. At first, he didn't care. But after dinner, the feeling got worse and worse, and he just wanted to bang his head against the wall.
This was his old problem, and it would happen to him whenever he overworked his brain or didn't get enough sleep. For this disease, he just needed to sleep and wait until the next morning. , the headache will disappear.
Knowing this, Mu Tian lay down on the bed very early. However, he did not sleep well.
That night, he had a dream.
Mu Tian stood at the door and muttered, "Why am I at someone else's door?" He raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. "Oh my God! It's already two o'clock in the morning. Why am I still outside? Ah! No, I have to go home quickly! " After saying that, he hurriedly walked outside.
This is an alley. At the end of this alley is a T-junction, and Mu Tian is walking towards it. The sky is gray, and only the faint moonlight can see the scene ahead!
He turned the corner and headed west.
Walking in this silent space, his intuition told him not to be curious about everything around him. He pretended to be calm and walked forward. Just as he was about to reach the next intersection, a petite figure hurriedly came from the opposite side. He ran out of the alley, came to the crossroads, and ran south without hesitation.
This sudden situation immediately frightened Mu Tian.
"How can there be a child in the middle of the night?" He muttered in his heart. At this time, a gust of wind blew on Mu Tian's body, making him shiver. "Forget it, let's go home quickly. "Thinking of this, he immediately quickened his pace.
Not long after, he also reached the crossroads of the alley. Mu Tian's body began to tremble. He gritted his teeth, rushed over, and hurriedly walked north.
When they were a little further away, Mu Tian secretly turned his head and looked towards the south. He was shocked when he saw the child who ran by was squatting on the ground. A human head was being gnawed on the garbage heap.
Mu Tian didn't dare to look any further, so he turned around and ran forward. But just as he was panicking, he accidentally fell to the ground. However, fear instantly crept into his heart. He ignored the pain in his legs, He quickly got up and ran forward. But he never expected that a short shadow would appear in his sight not far ahead.
He quietly walked forward. As the distance gradually shortened, the other person's face was revealed by the faint moonlight. It was a bloodshot and tender face, and there was a faint trace of A small tuft of thin hair.
"Ah…!" Mu Tian sat up from the bed, his hair soaked with sweat. He turned on the light and calmed himself down. "What a terrible dream!" he muttered.
He picked up the cup of water beside the bed, drank a few sips, and then turned off the light and went to sleep again. But he didn't notice that the hands of the clock on his bedside were pointing to the number twelve.
The next day, he got up early because he had to go to class. After washing up and having a quick breakfast, he went to school.
Because of the dream he had last night, he was distracted the whole day. He did not listen to the teacher's words at all. During this period, he was scolded by the teacher several times.
The annoying day finally passed. After school in the afternoon, Mu Tian rode his bicycle home alone as usual. Because it was after school, there were many vehicles on the road. Most of the students were rushing home. At that time, Mu Tian was frowning and looking at everything around him. He didn't like noise. When he saw a crossroads ahead, he decided to go around it. Fortunately, he left this noisy place. Coincidentally, the road he was walking on was a narrow alley with few people, and there were many dilapidated houses on both sides.
In the past , when a person died, there would be another shadow on the wall . He had walked this road before, so this road was very familiar to him.
Just as he was feeling thankful for having found a quiet place, a gust of wind blew across his body.
"Hiss, even though it's almost autumn, the temperature is still around 25 or 26 degrees! How can it be so cold?" he muttered. At this time, he pulled up the zipper and covered his collar. At this moment, two faint voices came from the door in front.
"Hey, you know what? If you have a nightmare, it means there is a ghost staring at you beside your bed."
"How is that possible? Dreams are a kind of thought and consciousness! They have nothing to do with ghosts!"
When Mu Tian arrived at the door, he just heard the word nightmare. He hurriedly stopped the car, crouched at the door, and listened carefully.
"You don't know, I saw it last night." The voice was slightly trembling. "Last night I dreamed that a dead body suddenly opened its eyes. I was scared awake at that time! However, what shocked me was not this. "At this point, Mu Tian seemed to hear the person inside swallowing his saliva, and then continued. "The moment I was awakened by the shock, my hand accidentally touched the edge of the bed. At this moment, I suddenly I felt a skinny hand beneath mine…"
Mu Tian was completely moved by what was said inside. Just as he continued to listen, a skinny hand suddenly slapped his shoulder. "Ah~" Mu Tian shouted loudly. When he saw clearly that the other party was When I saw an old man, my mood eased a little.
"Young man, are you okay? Were you scared just now?" the old man said kindly.
“No…no!”
"Why are you squatting here after school?" The old man asked this question with a strange expression. He frowned and his lips trembled.
However, Mu Tian didn't notice these. After hearing the old man's question, he hurriedly covered up. "Nothing! I'm just tired, take a rest! Haha!" After saying that, he hurriedly turned the car around and headed He walked away in the direction he came from.
Watching Mu Tian's figure going away, the old man sighed. Turning his head to look at the rusty padlock on the door, he said, "She's still a child! A child!" He got up and walked forward.
Mu Tian returned home with a pale face. He did not respond to his parents' concerns. Instead, he went straight to his room, lay on the bed, and fell asleep quickly. Perhaps he was too nervous that day. It’s because of this!
"Ding, ding, ding…" The ancient pendulum clock rang twelve times.
"No, no, no! No!" An anxious voice came from Mu Tian's mouth. Just at this moment, one person died and another figure appeared on the wall . A "creak" sound of a door opening was heard. The closed room The door slowly opened. "Ah!" Mu Tian opened his eyes. At this moment, "Bang!" The door suddenly slammed shut. This sound made Mu Tian's eyes widen instantly. "Who?" he shouted towards the door. At this moment, he suddenly remembered what the man said.
He hurriedly turned on the light in the room, curled up in the corner of the bed, and stared at the door in horror. This lasted for the entire night.
The next day, his mother called him to school as usual. But when she entered the room, she saw Mu Tian lying on the bed, trembling all over, with his eyes closed. His mother realized that something was wrong and rushed him to the hospital. . The diagnosis was that it was a severe fever!
During the subsequent recuperation, his condition gradually improved, and he gradually forgot about the incident.
