[恐怖小说]The Visitation(2)

Not like adults, as a child my curiosity kept raising up and always wanted to hear more about him, but every time when I just about to raise my ears...
"Don't you ever want to participate in that devil's deal, my boy. Next time after your visit to him, you'll know."
I was young back in those days. Young, innocent yet curious in anything that is happened to be exciting and mysterious. Just like all children who shared my age were fond of hearing those adventure stories, imagined themselves as those sailors who fight against krakens or pirates who find the forgotten treasures.

That time came up very soon. Elementary school's semester ended up rapidly after 1929. Most people, including our neighborhood were forced to became wanderers or put up small family business for a living. But not us. Although my parents' salaries didn't show up either, we had a farmyard in the countryside in which filled with clumps of corns and wheats. Such materials were wasted and burned by other peasants in order to made them worth during the Depression. However, it's been a long time since we last lived there or treated there as our settlement. It was supposed to be the gift of my father's side for his marriage ,or should I say our family. But after I was born ,due to the obvious education problem, we moved to Baltimore and rent an apartment downtown. Aunt Lucy was the only relative who lived in that city. She helped us a lot when we tried to cope with city lifestyle.
