After hearing what my fourth uncle said, I looked around in confusion, but didn't find anything wrong. I turned my eyes to my fourth uncle to express that I didn't understand what he said.
The fourth uncle looked around the room, and finally stopped at the corpse on the wooden bed. His face became more and more ugly, and then he said: 'I remember that this white cloth was not covered when I left!'
I thought carefully for a while and tried to recall the scene of leaving before. At that time, Goudan and I were anxiously dragging the third uncle. I didn’t remember whether the white cloth was covered with Li Laizi’s body. At that time, the fourth uncle and
Xiaobai was in the house, so they should know the situation. Since the fourth uncle said this, he would probably remember it correctly. Could it be that the third uncle covered it with the white cloth?
But where did the third uncle go?
I looked carefully at the corpse under the white cloth, and based on the outline, I noticed something was wrong. The corpse seemed to have grown a lot, and the white cloth was lifted up by its feet. I was very impressed by Li Laizhi. This man was only one foot tall.
Mi Liu is fat and fat, and although he is covered with a white cloth, I can be sure that the person lying underneath is definitely not Li Laizi.
I hurriedly said to my fourth uncle: 'Quick, the third uncle is here!'
Before Fourth Uncle and Goudan could react, I stepped forward and pulled open the white cloth, revealing the true face underneath. Goudan and I, as well as Fourth Uncle, were stunned. Goudan gasped and lay down on the bed.
The person lying there was indeed the third uncle. Li Laizi’s body was gone. The third uncle’s eyes were closed tightly. I didn’t know what to do. I called out to the third uncle in a hurry. The third uncle slowly opened his eyes.
When the fourth uncle and Goudan saw that the third uncle was fine, they immediately let out a long sigh.
The third uncle's eyes were a little blurry, as if he had just woken up. I asked him why are you lying here?
The third uncle thought for a while, then shook his head and said nothing!
Fourth uncle said to me: "It's not safe here, get him away quickly!"
I thought the same thing. The third uncle was unconscious now and couldn't find anything. All three corpses had disappeared. I was still worried about leaving the third uncle here to take him. I called Goudan and asked him to
Help me get the third uncle off the bed. This is a bed for sleeping on dead people, which is very unlucky. What will the third uncle look like lying on it?
Goudan hurriedly stretched out his hand, and the two of us helped the third uncle out of bed.
Fourth uncle said: 'Get him to my house quickly!'
Goudan and I supported the third uncle. The third uncle did not resist, but his body was very stiff. We supported him so that he could move forward. After struggling twice in one night, I was a little upset, but there was nothing I could do.
Who asked me to do such a thing!
The third uncle is big and his body is very heavy. Goudan and I were panting from exhaustion along the way. The third uncle was very relaxed and didn't even breathe. It was not easy to settle the third uncle again. I felt really exhausted.
Try your best.
Goudan was also very tired and complained: "It's really weird. I didn't lift the steel bars so heavy at the construction site!"
I just wanted to say goodbye to my fourth uncle and go back to sleep. I saw my fourth uncle come out of the house, holding two candles, lighting one in front of the house where the third uncle lived, and then found a wooden stick.
Standing in front of the door, I was wondering. I was about to ask what my fourth uncle was going to do. My fourth uncle waved his hand to me. I saw my fourth uncle’s eyes were red. I had to hold back. I didn’t know what my fourth uncle was going to do.
What to do? The fourth uncle took out a basket of fire paper from the house, and suddenly he knelt down in front of the third uncle’s door with a common voice. He took out the fire paper and started burning it in front of the door. Goudan couldn’t bear it anymore and asked in confusion: ‘Dad
, what are you doing! Are you going to kill my third uncle?'
I saw a few tears dripping down the face of the third uncle. The third uncle was burning the fire paper and started to cry. Now I panicked. I hurriedly stepped forward and asked the third uncle in a low voice, what happened?
The third uncle wiped his tears, took out a handful of burning paper from the basket, and said to me: 'Let me burn some for you, third uncle!'
I was shaking involuntarily as I held the burning paper, my mind was buzzing, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously. Could it be that the third uncle is dead?
But it’s impossible! Wasn’t it good just now?
Goudan had a bad temper, so he snatched the basket from his fourth uncle's hand and said loudly: 'Dad, what's wrong with you!'
The fourth uncle sighed and said: 'Your third uncle is gone, don't you two feel it after carrying him all the way?'
Goudan and I shook our heads.
The fourth uncle's eyes were red: "Think about it, did your third uncle ever take a breath along the way?"
Goudan and I looked at each other, and we saw a hint of panic in each other's eyes. It was indeed like what the fourth uncle said. I really didn't feel that the third uncle was breathing along the way, but his body was also cold, but I
When you get him off the bed, can the third uncle still move?
I asked my fourth uncle when he found out that the third uncle had passed away.
The fourth uncle sniffed and said: 'As soon as I helped him up from the bed, I could tell that he was not breathing, his whole body was stiff, and his eyes were straight. It was a flashback!'
The fourth uncle, the third uncle, and my dad are cousins, but they still have a deep relationship. Sister Qian died of suicide. Suicide is very unlucky here, so most relatives are not willing to come.
But I didn’t expect that Sister Qian had just died two days ago, and the third uncle also left shortly after, and her death was so strange. I hurried home to inform my dad and my mother. My dad and the third uncle had similar personalities, and they were not very similar.
He was willing to talk, but after I told him the news, I saw that his eyes were also red. I must have felt bad about the sudden departure of the third uncle.
The third uncle's house has turned into a haunted house. No one dares to step inside anymore. Our old Du family has a large branch in the village. Everyone who is supposed to come to his funeral has come. The venue is held at the fourth uncle's house. This is the home.
The result of people's deliberations.
The funeral of the third uncle was very peaceful. Everything was held step by step without any accidents. During this period, I went to Zhao Banxian's home several times, but I never saw Zhao Banxian come back.
Three days later, the third uncle's body was buried. The tomb was buried in the mulberry forest south of the village. Four people died in the village at once, but only the third uncle's body was fine. The other three disappeared mysteriously.
.
Although everyone kept silent about these things, in fact everyone knew in their hearts that the village was so big and there was no airtight wall. After the third uncle was buried, everyone returned to their original peaceful life. Even Goudan said that he wanted to
Back to the county town, there are a lot of things to deal with there.
Although I have a lot of puzzles in my heart, I have no way of finding out. People in the village will greet me happily as usual when they see me. Even Li Dayan, who is kneeling down with his eyes closed by me, will smile and hand me a stick.
cigarette.
It's like nothing happened before. I don't know why. I always feel that the people in the village are unusually happy, with smiles on their faces as if they were celebrating the New Year. None of this is normal.
But I can't think of a reason. The strangest among them is Li Ersha. This guy is usually dirty and silly, but now he also wears a man-devil-like look, with a white shirt, a brand new belt, and his hair is cut.
Neat and tidy, he was like a completely different person. If he hadn't taken the initiative to greet me, I wouldn't have recognized him as Li Ersha.
