Maybe I saw it wrong, so I didn't take it to heart.
After lunch, Uncle Wei Liu went home and squinted.
Under the arrangement of the village chief's wife, we also slept in the east room of the village chief's house.
Just wait for the evening to arrive and quietly go to Uncle Zhang's house.
But the sun has set, and Uncle Wei Liu hasn't come yet.
I sat on the kang with my face tilted and looked outside. The village chief, wearing a blue coat, staggered in through the gate.
He strode into the house, rubbed his face that had not yet sobered up with his big hands and said, "I was really convinced by this old man. I asked him to go together, but he was still asleep in the house and didn't even knock on the door."
"Didn't he hear the knock on the door?" my dad asked.
"I slept like crazy. There was no movement at all. Come on, let's not wait for him and go directly to Lao Zhang's house."
The village chief said and took a flashlight from the cabinet.
This was what they had agreed upon during the day. They would not hitch a ride at night because they were afraid that the horses would bray and alert the snakes.
I have learned how to scare the snake away, just because I am afraid that Uncle Zhang will discover us.
My mother held my hand and walked out.
The village chief's wife was stunned and exclaimed: "Guizhi, this is not a good thing. Don't take Yun girl with you so late."
I looked up at my mother and saw her eyes flashing.
My mother pulled me towards her and said with a smile: "No, this child can't live without people since what happened to Chang Xian last time. Otherwise, I won't bring her here."
The village chief's wife had an expression on her face that said, "The child is so pitiful." Her eyes turned red.
The village chief waved his hand angrily: "You can just stay at home, why do you care so much!"
The village chief's wife's face turned red and she turned her head away without speaking. She looked like she was angry with the village chief.
On the way to Uncle Zhang's house, my second uncle and I were walking at the end. I kept hiding from my second uncle.
Because from time to time two ghosts would pop up on the road, floating aimlessly in the air with expressions of lovelessness.
The second uncle laughed at me in a low voice: "What are you doing?"
"Second uncle, there is a ghost on the road." I wrinkled my nose and whispered.
"You haven't been able to see ghosts for more than a month, why are you still afraid?"
"Then I'm afraid too! Why don't you give it a try!"
I clenched my little fists angrily.
My second uncle is still laughing at me, which makes me even more angry!
I was angry all the way to Uncle Zhang's house. The lights in Uncle Zhang's house were lit, and we could see clearly into the house.
Uncle Zhang was lying on the kang, sleeping with his back to the window.
The village chief let out a sigh: "Since this guy got into trouble, the lights haven't been turned on. What happened tonight?"
"Uncle, let's find a place to hide." Fortunately, my father grabbed the village chief, or else the village chief would have entered the hospital.
I don't know if he drank too much at lunch, so he walked smoothly and smoothly.
The five of us hid nearby.
My mother and father were at the gate, one on each side.
The village chief was across the street from Uncle Zhang's house. There was a haystack there, and he lay down on the haystack.
My second uncle and I were right next to the haystack.
But while we were talking and watching Uncle Zhang together, the village chief was lying on the haystack, and soon he began to snore.
"..."
The second uncle came closer to me and said, "Girl, do you see anything in the house?"
The room was bright and everything was clearly visible: "No."
"Oh, wait a minute then."
We waited and waited, and most of the night passed. The whole village was pitch black, except for the lights at Uncle Zhang's house.
Uncle Zhang is also very good, he didn't even turn over for so long.
There were so many mosquitoes at night. I had several big bites on my body, which made me feel itchy and uncomfortable.
Even so, it couldn't stop my overwhelming sleepiness.
"Second uncle, I'm sleepy." I pulled the corner of my uncle's clothes and yawned.
The second uncle crossed his legs and opened his hands towards me: "Then you go to sleep first. If there is any trouble, the second uncle will call you."
"Yeah." I nestled into my second uncle's arms and fell asleep quickly.
Needless to say, I had a great sleep this time. It was cooler outside than inside the house, and my second uncle helped me chase away mosquitoes, so I slept until early morning.
When I woke up rubbing my eyes, I was almost scared by my second uncle.
The second uncle had two big dark circles on his face, and he was looking straight into Uncle Zhang's house. When he saw me waking up, he lowered his head and smiled at me: "Wake up."
"Second uncle, is there no trouble yet?" Second uncle's face looked as grim as a ghost.
The second uncle shook his head: "No, take a look."
I looked over and saw that Uncle Zhang was still sleeping in the same position as last night!
"Second uncle, isn't Uncle Zhang numb?"
"I don't know." The second uncle shook his head seriously.
I was just wondering when two people suddenly ran over from the west direction. They ran to us with panic on their faces.
One of the young men grabbed the village chief and said, "Village Chief! Go and have a look! Wei Laoliu is dead!"
"What!" The village chief was shocked by the sudden bad news and immediately woke up. He seemed to have forgotten that he was on the haystack and rolled down with a grunt.
The village chief immediately stood up, patted his butt, and pulled the visitor in shock: "What the hell?"
"Wei Laoliu helped my mother pull firewood a few days ago. My mother cooked bone soup all night last night. She asked me to send him some bone soup this morning. Who knows..." The more he talked, the more he shivered, as if
I saw something very scary.
I unconsciously pinched my second uncle's cold arm, and my heart jumped twice.
The second uncle frowned and touched the back of my head.
The village chief jumped to his feet: "Speak quickly!"
"I went there in the morning and found his door closed. I thought he hadn't gotten up yet. I was afraid that the bone soup would get cold, so I jumped in through the window. Who knew... Who knew he was lying on the kang, and his body was hard! Wow!
Woohoo!”
Another person added with red eyes: "Village chief, Wei Laoliu has lost his head and is almost a mummy. He looks exactly like his two cows when they died!"
My dad and mom also ran over quickly.
My dad picked me up and held me in his arms, and said to the village chief with a solemn expression: "Village chief, come and see Wei Laoliu's house!"
"yes!"
"But boy Zhang..."
"Don't worry about so much now!" My mother was also very excited.
So, a large group of people ran to Uncle Wei Liu's house in a hurry.
I rested my chin on my dad's shoulder, and it felt very unreal. Just yesterday at noon, Uncle Wei Liu was still alive and kicking, drinking with my dad and the others.
How do you say it's gone?
I raised my eyes and saw that Uncle Zhang was still asleep and kept in that position.
…
We arrived at Wei Laoliu's house without stopping.
His family only has a small mud house and the yard is very clean. It can be seen that Uncle Wei Liu is a clean person.
There were already many people gathered in front of his house. Some were crying, some were sighing, and some were so frightened that they ran home after just one glance.
But no one entered the courtyard, and listening to their conversation, it seemed that they already knew that Uncle Wei Liu died in a strange way.
"Make way, make way!" The village chief pursed his lips tightly, separated the crowded crowd with his arms, and we squeezed into the yard.
The village chief raised his leg and kicked it at the door!
