The features on Uncle Feng's face were wrinkled together. He stood at the foot of the steps with an expression on his face as if he was about to die.
The sleeve of his right arm had been torn off, and the exposed flesh was gone, leaving only red and white bones, which were tingling with blood and smelling of black smoke.
The second uncle exclaimed: "Oh, Brother Feng, you are going to become a zombie!"
"What?!" Uncle Feng's eyes widened and he fell to the ground, so frightened that he almost flew away.
The uncles and gentlemen who were originally sitting on the steps nearby to rest, heard this and quickly sat further away, looking at Uncle Feng with strange eyes.
Uncle Feng reacted, hugged his second uncle's thigh and started crying: "Second brother, you have to save me! Help me!"
"..." Look, retribution is everywhere. Just now he was inciting everyone not to help. Now it's his turn.
Lulu and we quietly retreated into the house.
I saw my second uncle clasping his hands behind his back and sighed deeply: "Hey, there's nothing I can do about it. I can only deal with Mr. Yang because he's already dead. Aren't you not dead yet?"
"What are you talking about? You don't care about me? Are you cursing me?" Uncle Feng stood up suddenly and pointed at his second uncle with wide eyes.
"People have to take responsibility for what they have done, right?" The second uncle's face suddenly turned cold, and he looked intimidating.
Uncle Feng shrank his neck and became silent.
The second uncle snorted coldly and walked back to the house.
I saw Uncle Feng approaching the barrel furtively. He glanced at the eldest brother of the Yang family who was half buried in the glutinous rice sand, and then carefully and furtively pulled out a few grains of glutinous rice from the barrel.
on your own wounds.
As soon as the glutinous rice touches his red flesh, it sizzles and smokes.
The pain made him grimace and his hairy head was covered in sweat.
I tugged on my second uncle's sleeve: "Second uncle, Uncle Feng is stealing glutinous rice."
"Well, we can't really ignore him." The second uncle smiled and led Lulu and us into the west room.
Uncle Lu had been retching again just now, and Aunt Lu helped him in and lay down.
I haven't seen him for a while, and Uncle Lu is as thin as a layer of skin covering bones, and he looks very sick.
Aunt Lu sat by the kang and sighed and complained: "What do you think you can do? After finally coming back, you can't do any work at home. You lie on the kang every day and eat nothing, but you don't gain weight?"
I was stunned, why did Aunt Lu say that to Uncle Lu?
Uncle Lu has not long to live, and Aunt Lu is not a bad-hearted person, so why are you still complaining about Uncle Lu?
Didn't Uncle Lu tell Aunt Lu that he had a malignant brain tumor?
I glanced at Uncle Lu, who had a helpless smile on his pale face and winked at me.
The second uncle frowned, lit a cigarette and sat on a chair on the ground: "Brother, you didn't tell your sister-in-law?"
Aunt Lu was stunned, then looked back at Uncle Lu with a fierce expression: "What else are you hiding from me?"
This posture scared Lulu and we both quickly sneaked to the kang and sat down.
"Nuan Ting, doesn't Aunt Lu know that Uncle Lu is going to die?" Lulu said in my ear.
I scratched the back of my head in distress: "I don't know, did Uncle Lu not say anything? Keep your voice down so that Aunt Lu doesn't hear you."
If Uncle Lu didn't say it, then we can't say it either.
But it's too late.
Aunt Lu was like sitting on a cactus. She jumped up and her eyes immediately turned red: "What do you mean? What do you mean you are going to die?"
Aunt Lu turned around and asked Uncle Lu: "Say it!"
Aunt Lu's eyes were immediately covered with red bloodshot eyes.
I touched my nose guiltily, it was over, we seemed to be in trouble.
Uncle Lu sighed so weakly that he sat on the edge of the kang, grabbed Aunt Lu's hand, and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just a tumor in my head."
I saw Aunt Lu's back stiffen for a moment, then her body began to shake and she almost fell.
"sister in law!"
"Aunt Lu!"
"Minglan!"
…
Although there are many people in the courtyard, it is very quiet.
Lulu and I sat side by side on the steps at the door, leaning on our faces and looking at the round and bright moon in the sky.
A thin cloud was drifting in front of the moon.
Aunt Lu's crying, Uncle Lu's comforting voice, and Second Uncle's explanation could also be heard from the cracks in the window.
The second uncle asked Lulu and us to come out and watch, and don't let others in, and don't let others hear. The second uncle told Aunt Lu what Uncle Lu had done in the past two years in the room.
When it was mentioned that Uncle Lu wanted to have a child with Aunt Lu, Aunt Lu hugged Uncle Lu and burst into tears.
Hey, my nose is sore.
My second uncle often said that good will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil, and all causes and effects are destined.
But Aunt Lu is a good person. Even though Uncle Lu used crooked ways to make money, what does that have to do with Aunt Lu?
On the contrary, Aunt Lu is crying so sadly now.
"Warm Garden."
"ah?"
"I want to go back to Lotus City." Lulu said in a small voice.
I turned to look at her. Lulu was staring at the moon, serious and solemn.
"I feel like I have no last trace of nostalgia for Songcun."
I savored Lulu's words carefully, then looked at the sighing uncles and uncles in the yard, and couldn't help but nodded: "Me too."
In the past, my mother was loved by others, and I was surrounded by kind uncles and kind aunts. After my mother passed away, they became sarcastic and mean like magic tricks.
Uncle Feng's corpse poison has been detoxified, but the people who were on the same front as him just now still ignore him and avoid him.
I think Lotus City will be our home from now on.
I saw a red shadow standing under the big willow tree opposite the door of my house, waving to me.
"Aunt Li is here." I said to Lulu.
"Then let's go take a look?"
I frowned and said, "Just go to the door and have a look."
If I go out, what if that scary old lady suddenly jumps out?
The two of us ran to the door. Aunt Li came over anxiously, stood outside the door and said bluntly: "Is it a zombie?"
"Yeah." I touched my nose.
Aunt Li smacked her tongue frequently: "That's strange. Logically speaking, evil spirits are gathering places for yin energy. Why can't I get close to them?"
Lulu and I looked at each other and we didn’t know either!
Aunt Li shook her head: "Forget it, tell your second uncle that the kid who was guarding the old Yang family just now reported to me that Li Long came here before the Yang family boy got into trouble."
"Ah? Does it have something to do with him?"
"I don't know." Aunt Li's eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper, just like the doubts in my heart.
Li Long went there?
Li Long was the one who introduced Mrs. Wu to Old Blind Chen. Aunt Li said that the people who died in other villages were related to Old Blind Chen's wedding banquet. However, Li Long went there before the eldest brother of the Yang family got into trouble.
This sounds like it has something to do with it, but I don’t know what it does.
I grabbed Lulu's hand tightly. I had to tell my second uncle about this immediately: "Mom, let's go back first!"
