What kind of fate is this for me? I just left my village and saw a ghost again!
However, although the second uncle looks fat, it is worth mentioning that the second uncle ran really fast, with two legs like hot wheels, and soon the ghost disappeared without a trace!
Second uncle is so awesome!
"We're here." The second uncle put Lulu and us down and sat on the ground again. He was panting like a bellows, whistling, "Girl Yun, is he chasing us?"
"No, it's gone." I shook my head.
"Nuan Ting, look." Lulu took my hand and pointed to our sides.
Only then did I realize that at some point, my second uncle had already brought us to the door of a small courtyard.
The courtyard is surrounded by fences, and the gate is also a gate. If there is a thief, there is no way to prevent it.
There is a tall weeping willow tree near the gate. Looking inside, there are three large tile-roofed houses side by side. The middle tile-roofed house has a very eye-catching black plaque on the door.
"Morgue? Does Grandpa Sun still open a morgue?" I scratched my head and turned to ask my second uncle.
The second uncle took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket, most of which was soaked with sweat. The second uncle didn't care whether it was good or bad, so he lit it up and took two hard puffs.
"Your grandpa's ancestors ran a morgue, and it was only my grandpa's generation who had the skills to sew up corpses."
Speaking of sewing corpses, I thought of the male ghost I just saw in the woods. His thin head, could it be one of the people Grandpa Sun sewn up wrongly?
The second uncle finished his cigarette, stood up, pushed open the fence door and walked in front.
The corner of my mouth twitched. The fence couldn't protect against thieves, and the door wasn't locked...
"Lulu, do you think Grandpa Sun is not afraid of thieves?"
"Nuan Ting, are you stupid?" Lulu smiled and hugged my arm, "Who dares to come here to steal things and steal corpses?"
"Haha, yes!"
The second uncle turned around with a tigerish face and lectured us: "Where the dead are the most important, don't be playful and smiling."
Lulu and we immediately stopped smiling and stuck out our tongues at our second uncle's thick back.
We walked to the door of the big tile-roofed house in the middle. The second uncle raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Uncle Sun, are you at home?"
no respond.
"Huh? Not at home?" The second uncle muttered to himself and knocked several times, but there was no response.
The second uncle pointed to the window next to me and said, "Girl Yun, go and see if there is anyone in the house?"
"Oh, okay." I trotted to the west window, stood on tiptoe on the window sill and looked in.
The thin and dark Grandpa Sun was sleeping on the kang. He was thinner and darker than the last time I saw him. He seemed very uneasy in his sleep. His brows were furrowed tightly and his back was arched, looking sick.
appearance.
He was facing the window, and I couldn't see if the two heads on his back were still there.
I ran back to my second uncle and said, "Second uncle, Grandpa Sun is sleeping."
"Huh? There it is." The second uncle scratched his head in confusion. When he took it off, he found a few hairs between his fingers, which made him feel extremely distressed.
I scratched my eyebrows and said, "Grandpa Sun seems to be sick."
"Sick?!" The second uncle suddenly raised his voice, raised his hand, opened the door and went in.
Lulu and I also followed behind my second uncle.
As soon as we entered Lulu, we both shivered.
"It's so cold." Lulu said to me, crossing her little arms.
I nodded in agreement. This room was like an ice cellar. No wonder Grandpa Sun couldn't sleep well, and I couldn't sleep well either.
We walked through the outer room and came to the inner room. The second uncle was already squatting by the kang, gently patting Grandpa Sun's arm.
"Uncle Sun, Uncle Sun, wake up."
Grandpa Sun slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were so cloudy, and his whole demeanor looked like he was more than ten years older than the last time he saw him.
Grandpa Sun sat up, leaning on the kang, and looked at his second uncle with dull eyes for a while, before suddenly reacting: "Ah! Second uncle, when did you come?"
The second uncle sat next to Grandpa Sun worriedly and asked him: "It's been a while and you haven't opened the door even after knocking several times. What's wrong, Uncle Sun? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Grandpa Sun waved his skinny and calloused hands: "I'm old and my ears are not strong enough."
He stood up and went to the cabinet next to the kang, took some candy balls and stuffed them with Lulu and us. When he finished stuffing them, he suddenly turned his head and exclaimed: "Boy, why are you bringing two children like this?"
The place has come!”
The second uncle smiled and said nothing.
When Grandpa Sun turned his head, goosebumps all over my body suddenly appeared!
It seemed like there was an electric current running along the soles of my feet and up to the top of my head!
Because the two heads behind Grandpa Sun are still there, and they have changed!
The last time I saw him, the head on Grandpa Sun's back was still a vague shadow. It felt like it was there, and it might be an illusion.
But now, those two heads are so condensed that they are almost solid!
They were like the two humps of a camel, which pressed Grandpa Sun so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. They also bulged and bulged, just like when I usually drink soda through a straw, they moved.
And one of the heads is really the male ghost we met on the road!
I took one look and quickly lowered my head, fidgeting with the buttons on my clothes with both hands at a loss.
"Second brother, this is a rare visit. Let's go to a restaurant." Grandpa Sun was about to put on his coat. His movements were very stiff. When he raised his arms, he swayed twice and almost fell down.
The second uncle quickly supported Grandpa Sun: "Let's talk about the restaurant later. Uncle Sun, you are so sick, why don't you go to the hospital?"
"I saw it, but I can't find it out." Grandpa Sun sighed, sat by the kang and rubbed his knees back and forth with his big hands, and said hesitantly, "Actually, I also know. I went to Guizhi last time, and Guizhi said I was the one who did it.
The heads of the two corpses were sewn on wrong, but it’s impossible no matter how I thought about it.”
I saw my second uncle's lips move, but finally closed them.
What does the second uncle want to say?
Why didn't you say it?
Grandpa Sun continued: "You said I have been sewing corpses for many years. The ancestral craftsmanship of putting separate corpses together is the basic of the basics. It is not even a dogma. How could I make such a low-level mistake?
"
"yes."
After Grandpa Sun finished speaking, two weak cries came from his back. If you didn't listen carefully, you would have thought it was the sound of wind.
The second uncle looked at me, then turned around and handed Grandpa Sun a cigarette.
Grandpa Sun lit a cigarette and asked his second uncle: "Hey, second brother, why are you here? Is something wrong? My bones are not working anymore. I'm afraid I won't be able to do things like sewing corpses."
"It's not sewing corpses." The second uncle pointed at Lulu and us, and his voice became much lower. "Something happened to this girl Nuanting. We can't live in the house anymore. My eldest brother and sister-in-law also went south to look for a solution. I thought of bringing her with me."
The two children are moving. They want to find a place where no one knows us but where we can live. After much deliberation, there are only so many places that Uncle Sun knows about sewing corpses for so many years. I didn’t come here to give you my advice."
