As Uncle Qian spoke, he squatted on the ground, lowered his head, and plucked his hair into a chicken coop.
The dim light in the rest room made Uncle Qian look even darker.
The second uncle stared at his chicken coop and pondered for a while, then turned to me and raised his lips: "Yun girl, the second uncle listens to you."
"Listen to her?" Uncle Qian opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He looked at me and then at his second uncle, as if to say, 'She is just a child, why do you still listen to her?'
It also seems to be saying, 'She has been bullied by the villagers, is she willing to go back?'
I touched my nose. In fact, I knew that with my second uncle's character, he would definitely ask me for my opinion. Although I was just a child, I was the victim.
I didn't want to help the villagers. They beat me and my dad. I was stingy and I definitely wouldn't mind them at all.
It's just... I turned around to look at Aunt Lu's eyes as she stared at me. Her eyes were red, and her eyes were black and blue. Her head and face were covered with dust, and her eye sockets were sunken.
"Aunt Lu."
"Why."
"I'm willing to go back with you and see."
Aunt Lu's throat shook twice, and she suddenly hugged me tightly in her arms, sobbing and saying, "Good boy, my love for you is not in vain!"
I hugged Aunt Lu back. Aunt Lu's jacket smelled delicious, a smell I was familiar with, and my heart relaxed.
Lulu's cool voice came from behind Aunt Lu: "What's this called? Judge the gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain."
Uncle Qian was choked up and was speechless with a sad face.
The second uncle didn't notice Uncle Qian's embarrassment and rubbed his scalp cheerfully: "Where did you learn this?"
"It's in the book, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, there is it in the book...it's there..."
"Golden House." I pulled my head out of Aunt Lu's arms and added to her.
Aunt Lu was so shocked that she told her second uncle that he had taught these two children really well, but it was a pity that she had no children, otherwise she would have sent them to his second uncle.
The second uncle was polite and told Aunt Lu that he didn't know how naughty we two were, especially since Lulu ate so many thieves that he could hardly afford to feed her.
Lulu fiercely took advantage of the delicious food and cooked a bowl of rice.
The whole time, Uncle Qian was squatting in the corner, silently listening to the laughter and conversation of his second uncle and Aunt Lu, without saying a word, but his alert and frightened eyes kept lingering on me, which I could hardly ignore even if I wanted to.
Maybe deep down he still thinks that I am a monster, an unknown person, an evil spirit that is causing trouble in the village.
But what does this have to do with it? I just want to go back and see that ghost with my second uncle. It’s best for my second uncle to deal with her. As long as my Aunt Lu doesn’t get messed with, that’s better than anything else.
In the following time, the second uncle called Uncle Han back to help the restaurant. It happened that Han Ziqi was fine, so Uncle Han came back happily and bought a doll for Lulu and us.
I was so happy holding the doll. The doll was so beautiful, with two big eyes like glass balls, and it could also move!
We all got on the train, Lulu and we were still holding our dear ones, which made the second uncle dumbfounded: "If you two like it, just tell the second uncle, and the second uncle will buy everything."
"No! You can't spend unnecessary money!" Lulu sat on the green hard seat and refused righteously, making her uncle and Aunt Lu laugh.
I leaned against the window, and the train moved slowly and noisily. The window was open, and the fresh wind blew on my face, which made me squint my eyes comfortably.
I'm a little excited to go home. Although I'm only staying for a few days, maybe a day or two if it's quick, it's my home, the place where I grew up, and the memories I have with my parents.
Oh, by the way, there’s also Fatty!
Although he is quite afraid of me, we have been friends since childhood!
I don’t know if I can see him when I go back this time, hey.
"Nuan Ting, why are you sighing?" Lulu came over and asked me in surprise, her two curved eyebrows raised high.
I turned around and pulled down her ears, and whispered to her: "Do you think we can see Fatty when we go back?"
"Emma, why are you still thinking about him?" Lulu rolled her eyes, "Have you forgotten that he said he wasn't afraid of you and yet he was afraid of you? His father still pushed you! Chaoyang gave us that Yingluo, and you were stepped on.
If it broke, I threw mine away, and I decided not to be friends with him in the future!"
I originally wanted to say that it was not Fatty who pushed me, but looking at Lulu’s angry little face, I swallowed my words again.
At this time, Lulu suddenly looked out the window with her eyes wide open: "Nuan Ting, look."
I looked curiously at the direction her finger was pointing, and opened my eyes wide.
"Is that someone from one of your wards?" Lulu's voice asked behind my head.
I nodded: "Isn't that him? He was still in front of the hardware store this morning, but why did he come outside the train station?"
I squinted my eyes.
Outside the train is a large open space, with a depression at the edge. The depression is filled with poplar trees. Many of their dry leaves have fallen, revealing a large area of bare white branches.
The young man with yellow hair and as thin as a mantis walked slowly towards the center of the city against this background.
I rubbed my eyes. I don't know why, but I felt that his figure was a little floating and swaying. He seemed to have raised his heels and was walking on his toes.
But with the contact lenses, I couldn't see clearly. I didn't know if he was lifting his heels.
But I think I may have misjudged it. Any normal person would walk on tiptoes. That would be very tiring.
"Village Chief, can you tell me about the first time the village was haunted?" Hearing the second uncle's voice, Lulu and we sat back together, holding the doll and listening.
I looked up and saw Uncle Qian sitting across from me in the corridor. He glanced at me quickly and found that I was also looking at him. He smiled coquettishly and his two deep nasolabial folds looked darker.
"The first time it was haunted was on the 23rd of last month. Our villagers went to the East Village for a wedding banquet. Before the wedding ceremony, a wind suddenly blew in the big tent, and all the food and drinks were smashed. It looked like someone had been
Smashed."
Uncle Qian squeezed his two big dark hands tightly, as if he was frightened when he recalled that scene: "You know, you just watched someone pick up the spoon, but there was no such person?"
"I know." The second uncle frowned in confusion: "How do you remember the time so clearly?"
Before Uncle Qian could say anything, Aunt Lu hummed: "The old woman Li Long introduced to Mr. Chen, the whole village knew about it. Then Mr. Chen received a lot of betrothal gifts! Only our village has not followed suit.
Woolen cloth!"
Aunt Lu was stunned after finishing speaking, and murmured to herself: "I am the only one who did not go to our village. Did that ghost come back from the banquet with them?"
"Have you entered the village yet?"
"It's not bad. No one in the village has left their houses these days. As soon as they go out, they are blown back into the house by the wind. Strangely enough, there is no wind to stop the village chief and I from going out."
Uncle Qian wiped the sweat dripping down his forehead: "It's not just that, everyone reacted to me, and there was a shadow floating above their heads in the middle of the night..."
It was such a cold day and with the window open, Uncle Qian was actually sweating.
Lulu and we looked at each other, both a little confused.
I don't know if that ghost came back from the banquet, but I feel a little strange.
I remember that Aunt Li asked Aunt Lu to give Nier to Mr. Chen to be raised blindly, saying that she was a good person and would never treat Li Nier badly.
But Li Long is not good at all. His second uncle once said that birds of a feather flock together, so how could they be related to each other when they are not the same people?
Li Long is Aunt Li's brother-in-law. They all have the same character, mean and profit-seeking. Is he so kind-hearted to help Mr. Chen blindly find a wife?
