That night, no matter how much I begged them, the next morning my parents turned the incense burner upside down, said goodbye to the ancestral hall, got in the car and left.
I ran behind the car and cried while running, but the car was going so fast, my feet hurt so much, and I lost the car...
"Mom and Dad, don't go! Don't leave me alone!" I sat in the middle of the road in embarrassment, and the wind blew the car exhaust into my face, making me burst into tears.
The second uncle sighed and picked me up: "Girl Yun, it's time for us to go."
I cried on my second uncle's shoulder.
Lulu stood beside us with red eyes. At her feet were two oversized red cloth bags, which contained Lulu's and mine's clothes and some toiletries.
I raised my face, and in my blurry vision was the village where I grew up.
The mud houses are arranged neatly one after another, and some people's chimneys are still smoking. The small trees on both sides of the road are shaking slightly, and the birds are chirping.
Nothing in the village has changed, except that the usual lively scene has disappeared.
They are all afraid of me. From yesterday to today, the streets were deserted and deserted.
In the direction behind me, a bus horn sounded.
Lulu took out her sunglasses from her bag, tugged on my trouser legs with her little hands, and said angrily: "Nuan Ting, the car is here, please put on your sunglasses."
I took the sunglasses and took one last look at my village while sobbing.
The second uncle gently followed my back: "Girl Yun, it's useless to be reluctant. They can't tolerate our family. We don't want to live in the eyes of others, we have to live for ourselves, so don't miss me and leave happily."
"I know, uncle." I wiped my tears hard and put my sunglasses on my face. The sunglasses were too big and kept falling down.
My second uncle put me down, tied the legs of my sunglasses with ropes, and put them on my face like a mask.
The road was uneven, and the bus trembled, trembled, and clanked as it stopped in front of us.
The second uncle carried a big bag in one hand and got on the bus to pay. Lulu and I held hands and followed behind the second uncle. The three of us sat in the last row of the bus.
I really want to look back, but I don't dare.
I felt so uncomfortable that I left home and my parents left. I felt like I had become an unwanted child. I went from heaven to earth in just one day and one night.
I didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I just sat in the corner, closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep.
The small voices of Lulu and my second uncle rang in my ears.
"Second uncle, where are we going?"
"I don't know. Let's go see someone first. He should be able to point us to a way out."
"Who is it?"
"That's your Grandpa Sun."
"The corpse stitcher?"
"OK."
"Oh, I remember Aunt Yun said that Grandpa Sun sewn the wrong head on someone's head."
"Shh, don't talk nonsense about the place. Your grandpa loves face the most, so we have to be kicked out by him."
"Hmm! Got it!"
Grandpa Sun...seems to be Grandpa Sewing Corpses with two heads on his back...
I thought about it and really fell asleep.
When we woke up again, we found that the bus had taken us to a new and unfamiliar place.
I lifted my neck to rub my eyes, but the sunglasses on my face touched my face. I could only put down my hands and look out the car window.
The wheat fields on both sides of the road stretch as far as the eye can see. They are almost mature this season. They are not too green, but green with a slight yellow color. When the wind blows, they ripple in circles.
There were several wild geese flying in the sky. One of them spotted a vole in the field and immediately swooped down. After hitting the vole, it flew up with a roar.
"Girl Yun, are you awake?" My second uncle's hoarse voice sounded at the back of my head.
I turned my head and found that my second uncle was also looking out the window. Lulu was sleeping soundly on the other side.
"Second uncle, how long do we have until we arrive?" My nose was stuffy and I sniffed as I spoke.
"We're almost there." The second uncle stood up and took down our big red cloth bags from the storage rack above the bus.
After a while, Lulu rubbed her eyes, held hands with me, and we stood in the middle of a wheat field with my second uncle.
Lulu came close to my ear and whispered to me: "Nuan Ting, doesn't Grandpa Sun live in the town? There is no one in this place. Didn't the second uncle remember it wrong?"
Before I could say anything, my second uncle turned his head angrily and laughed, and said, "My memory is not as good as the two of you kids? Follow my uncle."
Lulu and I looked at each other, pursed our lips, and followed our second uncle to the west.
It was the first time I saw such a large wheat field, and the novelty quickly made me forget the pain of separation from my parents.
Lulu and I ran happily in the wheat fields.
"Nuan Ting! Come and chase me!"
"Don't run away Lulu!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The second uncle was carrying two heavy bags and chased after him, shouting: "Come out! Come out! Don't trample other people's crops! Don't run away! There are traps in the ground! Don't step on them! Oh my God! Ancestors!"
!!”
The second uncle's throat was filled with smoke, and when he was about to catch fire, we reached a fork in the road in front of a small forest.
Nothing happened to Lulu and I. The second uncle just sat down on the ground, panting and said: "Oh my god, why are you so tired from raising a child by yourself?"
The little hair on my second uncle's head was all greasy and stuck to his scalp, making his head look like a big white ball with hair.
I covered my mouth and snickered.
The second uncle glared at me angrily: "Why are you laughing? Let's go on."
"oh."
We walked further along the path in the woods. The woods were full of cool shadows, which were nothing like the heat outside.
I was sweating all over after running, so it felt so comfortable to come in suddenly.
I squinted my eyes comfortably, and suddenly a fat man wearing black clothes and trousers with gold coins printed on them appeared in my sight. He was squatting under a small tree on the roadside with his back to us, digging mushrooms with his bare hands.
My skin tightened immediately. I knew his clothes very clearly. They were shrouds. My mother had many of them at home, and they were all for the dead.
I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth and walked forward without squinting.
Second uncle and Lulu could hardly keep up.
They were trotting beside me, and my second uncle asked me out of breath: "Yun girl, why are you walking so fast?"
Using the motion of wiping my heavy nose, I signaled to my second uncle and Lulu with my eyes: "There is a ghost squatting over there."
"What?"
"Shh!" I immediately covered Lulu's frightened mouth, and the ghost looked over!
The ghost had an expressionless face, and there were several thin and long scars on his green and white face, extending from the top of his head to his chin.
The strange thing is that he is not thin, but his face is very thin, and the combination looks very strange, as if that head is not his.
The ghost suddenly stood up slowly, looked in our direction, and walked over...
"Ahhh! He's coming! He's coming!!" I screamed in fright.
The second uncle and Lulu were shocked.
The second uncle immediately dropped the big red cloth bag, put one under each arm, picked up Lulu and us and ran away!
