"Second uncle, is that woman named Xiaoyun also living at Uncle Li's house?" I held my uncle's hand, walked on the road, and raised my head to ask him.
The second uncle said happily: "Yeah, I haven't been to his house for a long time, and I don't know. Hey girl, why do you ask this?"
"I'm angry."
"Um?"
"Aunt Li was originally supposed to take care of Uncle Li and the little sister, but now there is one more person. Aunt Li is very tired."
"Maybe, that Xiaoyun will help your Aunt Li take care of the house?"
"What?"
The second uncle pointed forward.
I looked along my second uncle's white fleshy hand.
I saw Xiaoyun sitting under the willow tree on the edge of Aunt Li's vegetable garden, with a large iron basin filled with water, giving her little sister a bath.
The little girl was splashing around in the water.
…
No! It’s not taking a bath! It’s pushing the little girl into the water!
"What are you doing!" The second uncle roared loudly towards Xiaoyun!
Xiaoyun raised her eyebrows, glanced at my second uncle, then slowly stood up and picked up the little girl.
The little girl cried loudly.
The second uncle and I walked up to Xiaoyun angrily. The second uncle snatched the little girl away, glared at Xiaoyun and said, "What are you doing? What do you want to do with this child?"
"I'm just giving her a bath." Xiaoyun hugged her arms slowly, the joints of her elbows were really weird.
Although Xiaoyun's face is very beautiful, her body is extremely arrogant.
I rubbed my nose and got so close to her that I choked to death.
The second uncle didn't seem to notice, and his eyes were red with anger: "Take a bath? What kind of bath did you give Nier? Where is Sister-in-law Li?"
Hearing the second uncle talking about Sister-in-law Li, a strange expression appeared on Xiaoyun's face, and she pointed to the house inside.
"She has a cold and is sleeping in the house."
The second uncle glared at her and walked forward first. I also glared at her, but when she glanced at me, I was so scared that I withdrew my gaze and hurriedly followed the second uncle towards the house.
After walking a few steps, Xiaoyun stopped her and said, "Brother, Lao Li is not at home, and that bitch is under the covers. If you just go in like this, wouldn't it sound good if word spread?"
The second uncle's chest was rising and falling. After taking a steady look at Xiaoyun, he bent down and said to me: "Go and see if your Aunt Li is asleep in the room."
"Um!"
With my second uncle supporting me, I am not afraid!
I ran to the window without stopping.
The windows were all open in the summer, and I could clearly see Aunt Li lying on the kang, covered with a red quilt with the word "happy", her hair disheveled, her face pale, and her eyes tightly closed.
A sickly look on his face.
I grabbed the window sill, stood on tiptoe and shouted inside softly: "Aunt Li, I'm here to bring you food."
Aunt Li was motionless and looked like she was sleeping deeply.
The smell in the house was even worse, it was smelly, fishy and unpleasant, and it kept pouring out from the window.
I couldn't stay any longer, so I ran back to my second uncle.
The second uncle was looking at Xiaoyun.
Xiaoyun's charming eyes were as silky as silk, her mouth was smiling, and her eyes were like hooks as she looked at her second uncle.
But the second uncle was unmoved and snorted several times. Finally, Xiaoyun's eyebrows twitched a few times and she turned away from looking at the second uncle.
I tugged at the corner of my second uncle's clothes: "Second uncle, Aunt Li is asleep."
The second uncle was stunned for a moment, and his tone was higher: "Are you sure?"
"Yeah." I nodded and described a few sentences in detail, "Ms. Li slept very deeply. She seemed to be seriously ill. She was still covered with a winter quilt."
The second uncle opened his mouth.
Xiaoyun urged us impatiently: "What on earth are you going to do? If you have nothing to do, just leave. I can't tell you when Lao Li comes back."
The second uncle had a straight face, put the plastic bag in his hand on the ground, and said, "I'm delivering food to your family."
After the second uncle finished speaking, he held the crying little girl with one hand and held me with the other, and walked out.
Xiaoyun caught up again: "Put the child down for me!"
Xiaoyun's hand caught the second uncle's arm, and the second uncle violently shook it off. Xiaoyun staggered and almost sat on the ground, and finally stopped by holding on to the fence of the vegetable garden.
"Since Sister-in-law Li is ill, I will take the child to care for two days. When Sister-in-law Li is well, I will send it back." The second uncle said in a very unkind tone.
"Why are you taking away our child! Put it down! Put it down!" Xiaoyun chased after her, while the second uncle and I ran in front until we entered the front door of my house.
Xiaoyun was chasing after her, but suddenly she seemed to be pushed by someone and fell straight out of the door of my house.
At this time, my mother and father also came out of the house with serious faces. Xiaoyun glanced at my mother, like a mouse seeing a cat, with a look of horror on her face, and ran away on her hands and knees.
By now, my family has noticed something is wrong.
With sharp eyes, I saw a flash of red under the shadow of the willow tree across the road from my door, and Aunt Li was standing there crying.
I ran over, grabbed Aunt Li's colder hand, raised my head and asked her: "Auntie, when did you come out? I just saw you lying in the room."
Aunt Li didn't answer me. She knelt down and hugged me tightly and said, "Girl Yun, thank you, thank you so much."
"What?" Thank you again. Didn't you thank me yesterday?
Suddenly my mother's heavy voice sounded above my head: "Sister-in-law..."
Aunt Li immediately let go of me, took several steps back, and looked at my mother fearfully: "Guizhi, I don't mean any harm."
"Um."
I turned around and saw my mother standing behind me, holding her hairpin in her hand.
I used to see my mother use this hairpin to deal with evil ghosts and fairies with powerful powers.
What are you doing to Aunt Li now?
Aunt Li is not a bad ghost.
etc……
I scratched my nose and quietly retreated to my mother. Could it be that Aunt Li...
The second uncle hurried over and verified my guess.
The second uncle first picked a willow leaf from a willow tree, and while holding his right hand between two fingers of his left hand, he drew on it while chanting in his mouth.
"The law of heaven is clear, the law of earth is spirited, the essence of yin and yang is combined, the spirit of water appears, the spiritual light is captured by water, it reaches the heaven and earth, the law is implemented, the yin and yang mirror, the true form appears quickly, the true form appears quickly, I entrust San Mao Zhenjun as a law! Urgent!
Urgent as a rule!"
Immediately afterwards, the second uncle put the willow leaf to his eyelids with a squeaking sound. When he opened his eyes again, his sight immediately caught Aunt Li.
The second uncle took in a breath, took a long time to spit it out, beat his chest and said: "Sister-in-law, why are you doing this! Haven't you already decided to live a good life for Nier?"
After the second uncle said this, Aunt Li cried even louder. The waving wicker dangled in front of her, and the light and shadow on the ground looked very mottled.
"I'm sorry, second brother, I failed you, but I have to do this! If I don't do this, Nier won't be able to survive!"
"Sister-in-law, you will talk later." My mother put away her hairpin and looked up at the sun.
Now the sun is setting little by little. At dusk, there will be no shadow under the willow tree, and Aunt Li will be sunburned.
My mother turned towards my father who was coaxing Nier in the yard and shouted: "Her father, go to the altar and bring me an umbrella. I want the black one."
"OK."
After a while, my dad gave the umbrella out.
My mother opened the umbrella and motioned to Aunt Li to stand under the umbrella: "Sister-in-law, when there is no more shadow, let's go into the house and talk."
"Can I come in?"
"sure."
Aunt Li thanked me repeatedly, burst into tears, and turned into a plume of black smoke floating under the umbrella, and followed my mother through the door.
I followed behind, scratched my head in confusion, and asked my second uncle: "Second uncle, why does Aunt Li have to ask first if she can go in?"
