The second uncle had already come out and was standing at the door of the house smoking with Uncle Qian.
Lulu and I ran back.
"Second uncle! Aunt Li came just now!" I said.
Uncle Qian suddenly choked on the cigarette and looked at me in disbelief: "Zhao, Zhao Chunlan? She hasn't left yet?"
Lulu pinched her waist angrily: "Uncle Qian! Aunt Li is a good ghost. She is the one who has been protecting you with her little ghost these days! What's your tone?"
"Protect, protect?" Uncle Qian clearly didn't believe it, and raised his hands like oars, "It's impossible, it's impossible, isn't she a ghost?"
The second uncle frowned and told the story about Mr. Chen's blind family and why Uncle Qian went to the second uncle. Hearing this, Uncle Qian coughed even more.
After the second uncle finished speaking, he lowered his head and asked Lulu and us: "What did your Aunt Li say?"
"I said Li Long went to the eldest brother of the Yang family before his accident happened." I said truthfully.
The second uncle fell into deep thought.
Uncle Qian jumped to the side: "If this is really the case, then maybe Yang Xiaozi's death has something to do with Li Long!"
"But weren't every house guarded by imps before? Why can Li Long come out?" Lulu asked.
I shook my head: "I don't know."
The second uncle thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out the reason. He sat on the steps and smoked one cigarette after another. Anyway, Uncle Qian bought the cigarettes.
Uncle Qian squatted next to his second uncle and smoked one cigarette after another. He smoked cigarette butts and ashes all over the floor, making the air smelly.
After a while, an old man in a blue coat ran in crying: "My son!!!"
Lulu and I were sitting on the other side of my second uncle, turning over flower ropes.
I was startled by this voice.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Uncle Yang running in staggeringly, throwing himself at the barrel and crying: "Son! Why are you dead! Oh, oh, oh, how can you live if you call me daddy!"
Uncle Yang cried so loudly that he was full of deep fatherly love and the sadness of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person to his.
The second uncle patted his trouser legs, sighed, walked over, and pulled Uncle Yang away: "He is a zombie, don't come close."
"What are you talking about? That's my son. Whether it's a zombie or not, he's my son!"
"Yes, yes, but if you are scratched by him, I don't have so many red threads to tie you up."
After the second uncle finished speaking, the uncles and elders sitting around him immediately got up and grabbed Uncle Yang. Even though Uncle Yang was crying and crying, he couldn't free himself from so many hands.
I watched from a distance, feeling strange in my heart.
The second uncle came back and said to Uncle Qian who looked at Uncle Yang with pity: "While there is still time, let's go get some sleep. Tomorrow we will go to the East Village to see Mr. Chen's house, the village chief."
"Hey, hey, hey." Uncle Qian stood up immediately, groveling, very vicissitudes of life.
The second uncle patted him on the shoulder: "Tomorrow you take the people to Li Long's house to see what's going on. If anything is wrong, run away."
"OK."
The second uncle led Lulu and us into the house, and then sent Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu back.
Tonight, my uncles and uncles all slept in the yard of my house. They also had to keep vigil to watch the eldest brother of the Yang family. There were always people talking, and I didn't sleep.
The next day, I jumped out of bed with two big dark circles under my eyes.
After washing my face, I had breakfast and followed my second uncle out.
There is almost no place to stand in my yard, they are all lying in a mess, and we have to step carefully to avoid stepping on them.
After finally getting out of the gate, Lulu stamped her feet and complained: "It's so annoying. In the middle of the night, it feels like the whole world is filled with snoring."
I looked back weakly. In the middle of the yard, the eldest brother of the Yang family had not much white hair left on his body. His eyes were still closed. Uncle Yang was sitting next to the wooden barrel tray. His old and deformed hands were trembling.
The face of the eldest brother of the Yang family.
"Son, don't worry, dad will avenge you even if he risks his life!"
Uncle Yang's tone seemed to hide two sharp swords.
I turned to Lulu and said, "Let's go, my second uncle is almost at Aunt Lu's house."
"OK."
The second uncle borrowed the donkey cart from Aunt Lu, and Aunt Lu went crazy to load snacks for Lulu and us. She also told such a big deal, and she didn’t know if she could survive. When the time comes, everyone will be gone, and these things will remain.
What are you doing?
If my uncle hadn't stopped me, the donkey cart would have been full.
East Village is to the east of Song Village, with only two miles in between, which is the same distance from our village to Beicun.
But both sides of the road were covered with withered, dry leaves and fallen corn. There was not even a human figure, and it was a depressing scene.
Soon after, the donkey cart arrived at the door of Chen Laoxia's house.
Mr. Chen's family built a large tile-roofed house. Although he was alone for so many years, my dad said he was capable, hard-working and warm-hearted, so he lived a good life.
Hey, how could such a good person get involved in this matter?
The second uncle tied the donkey cart to the door and pushed open the silver-white iron gate of his house.
Lulu and we were following behind us. As soon as we entered the yard, I immediately felt an uneasy aura hovering above my head.
I shook my shoulders vigorously to get rid of the smell.
The tall figure of the second uncle walked forward and knocked on the closed door: "Is anyone home?"
We waited for a while and no one answered.
The second uncle's hand stopped on the door handle and opened the door with force. The wooden door creaked and made a sound like a woman laughing.
Lulu rubbed goosebumps next to me: "This door is really scary."
"Yeah." I nodded in agreement.
The second uncle walked in, looked around first, and then went into the west room where he slept.
I was a little nervous and followed closely behind my second uncle.
As soon as I entered the door of the West Room, I was shocked!
We saw a man sitting cross-legged on the big bed with his back to us, a big red quilt on his head, and his whole body was covered by the quilt.
There was a baby crying in front of him... It was Ni'er!
"Second uncle!" I almost shouted!
The second uncle quickly turned around and covered my mouth with his hands, staring at the man's back. I saw the second uncle's nose flap, obviously frightened and angry.
However, even though my second uncle covered my mouth, the little sound we made was still heard by the people on the kang.
The whole quilt seemed to be frozen, and the person in the quilt slowly turned his head, and then revealed an... extremely scary face...
"ah!!!"
"Lulu!" I hurriedly supported Lulu who fainted, and my second uncle took a step across to block us.
I hugged Lulu tremblingly and looked at that person again.
There is a layer of white hair on a dark face, one eye is confused and dull, and the other eye... is like a hole. From that hole, you can see the bones and flesh, red soft flesh, and the brain...
His teeth were like more than a dozen canine teeth of wild beasts, sticking out of his lips unevenly up and down. There was also a crystal-clear harp hanging from the corner of his mouth, dangling half-in-place.
Although I have seen ghosts many times, this was the first time I saw such a terrifying zombie. No wonder Lulu fainted from fright.
At this time, my sharp eyes saw a pool of blood in front of him, flowing from under his crossed knees.
My mind buzzed.
The second uncle asked dryly: "Old blind Chen, where is Li Nier?"
