Chapter three hundred and ninety seventh lengthened tongue
Seeing Uncle Li and Aunt Li like this, I felt very uncomfortable.
I first went to one side and paid the 1,000 yuan contribution, and then followed Uncle Li and Aunt Li into the house.
After sitting down, Uncle Li and Aunt Li were busy entertaining me, serving me tea and pouring water.
I hurriedly persuaded the two elders, "Uncle Li, Aunt Li, please stop working so hard. I'm not an outsider. Why are you so polite? I just heard that Brother Qiangzi passed away, and I felt very sad. I'm here to help Brother Qiangzi."
Burn some paper money and come see you at the same time."
It's okay not to mention Qiangzi. When Qiangzi was mentioned, the two old men couldn't control themselves and immediately burst into tears. "Qiangzi was a good boy. He was still so young. Why did he die?"
Uncle Li looked sad, while Aunt Li cried even more sadly, "My son! What happened to you? I didn't even have time to see you for the last time. Why did you leave?"
I really want to give myself a slap in the face. I know that these two old people have just lost their dearest children, but I still don’t open the pot. How can I be so mean?
After scolding myself hard in my heart.
I hurriedly helped Uncle Li and Aunt Li who were kneeling on the ground.
"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, please stop crying. If Brother Qiangzi is alive in heaven, he definitely doesn't want to see you like this!"
I persuaded them hard for a long time before they stabilized Uncle Li and Aunt Li's emotions.
"Dongfang, you are our guest, but today you are exposed to the embarrassing scene of us two immortals. I really can't bear it."
"Uncle Li, what are you talking about?" I waved my hands hastily, "Actually, I feel the same sadness as you."
After saying a few innocuous words, I hesitated and then asked, "Uncle Li, Aunt Li, how did Brother Qiangzi die?"
"Although Brother Qiangzi has lost a little weight, you can tell by looking at the way he works that his body is definitely strong. And I have never heard of him having any disease. Why did he suddenly become ill?"
Died?"
This is something I've always wanted to ask. Now that I've said it, it's time to get straight to the point.
But after I asked, Uncle Li and Aunt Li ignored me. They looked at each other, and only they understood the meaning in their eyebrows.
However, I still see something fishy, that is, the death of Hadron is not simple.
If Hadron had been involved in a series of accidents such as a car accident, then when I asked about it, the two elders would have said it without any reservation, and would not have been so secretive and hesitant to speak.
appearance.
"My dear, didn't someone bring us a can of good tea last time? I'm just a big old man who can't get used to drinking those things. I know Dongfang, he is a college student, and young people are very particular. Please give him the tea quickly.
Soak it up." Uncle Li pointed at Aunt Li and said.
Uncle Li didn't want to tell me the truth, so he started to deliberately change the topic.
"Oh, okay." Aunt Li left her seat and walked towards the back room.
"Uncle Li, please stop being so secretive. You have been watching me grow up in Zhaojiacun. I am no longer an outsider. Is there anything you can't tell me?"
Whether it was the ghost of Qiangzi I met on the way back last night, or the ambiguous attitude of Uncle Li and Aunt Li now, it is enough to show that Qiangzi's death is not simple.
And more importantly, I have been involved in this matter. I want to understand the ins and outs of everything.
"Dongfang, please stop asking. I have never regarded you as one of my own, but there are some things that we really don't want to talk about. Just be considerate of us and stop asking." Uncle Li sighed.
, said helplessly.
"Yes, Dongfang, Qiangzi just passed away. There are some things that we really don't want to talk about, so please stop forcing us." Aunt Li also tried to persuade me.
Judging from the resolute attitude of the old couple, even if I continue to ask, I guess they will not be willing to tell me.
"Okay! Uncle Li, Aunt Li, you are my elders, Zhao Dongfang. Since you are unwilling to tell me the truth of the matter, I certainly can't force you."
Then I changed the subject, "You don't want to tell me, but I have something to tell you."
As soon as they heard that I had something to tell them, the two elders immediately acted like they were all ears.
"I met Brother Qiangzi on the way back last night, and he came back with me."
"What……"
"Dongfang, are you sure what you said is true?"
The two elders were shocked by my words. They stood up from their chairs at the same time and stared at me dumbfounded.
"Everything I said is true." My attitude is very firm. This is something I have personally experienced, so I can certainly confirm it.
"Don't make trouble!" After the shock, both of them began to calm down slowly. "Qiangzi died yesterday afternoon. How could you see him again at night, unless what you saw was a ghost!"
After Uncle Li finished speaking, he was shocked by what he said.
His body suddenly became very stiff and his expression was dull.
He slowly turned around and looked at me, "Did you encounter the ghost of Hadron?"
I nodded, "I told my grandfather about this. He also said that Qiangzi died in the afternoon. It is very likely that what I encountered was the ghost of Qiangzi."
"My son, since you are back, why don't you go home and see your parents?" Aunt Li couldn't control her emotions and suddenly started crying again.
I walked over and patted Aunt Li on the shoulder. Aunt Li grabbed my arm excitedly, "Dongfang, since you met the ghost of Qiangzi, did Qiangzi say anything to you?"
"This is also something I feel very regretful about. Brother Qiangzi and I returned to Zhaojiacun, but in the meantime, he didn't say a word to me."
Then I told Uncle Li and Aunt Li what happened last night.
"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, actually I don't really want to know how Brother Qiangzi died. But Brother Qiangzi's ghost will never find me for no reason. He must have something to say to me.
.Maybe what he wants to say is about his death, so I keep asking you."
Uncle Li stared at my face for a long time before saying, "Since this is the case, and it may be what Hadron means, then I will tell you everything."
"Qiangzi came home from work at noon yesterday and felt a little tired. After lunch, he went to take a nap, but he slept for a long time and did not wake up until the sun went down in the afternoon.
So I went to Qiangzi's room and planned to wake Qiangzi up. After I entered the room, I saw Qiangzi lying on the bed, his mouth open and his eyes as wide as copper bells, staring at him intently.
Top of the wall.”
"I was frightened by the appearance of Qiangzi. I hurriedly went forward to check on Qiangzi's condition, but when I arrived in front of Qiangzi, all I saw was a cold corpse. Qiangzi was no longer breathing.
"
"Then have you examined Brother Qiangzi's body and what was his cause of death?" I asked hurriedly.
Aunt Li nodded, "Lao Li and I checked at that time, and finally we found the problem in Qiangzi's mouth.
We were surprised to find that in Hadron's mouth, his tongue became very long, and the entire mouth was filled with tongue, and it firmly pressed against the roof of his mouth. It was precisely because of this that we found Hadron's body again.
You can only see Hadron's mouth open when the time comes. Because his tongue is too long, it is all over the mouth, which affects his breathing, so he is suffocated to death. We straighten Hadron's tongue
By the time he was born, Hadron's tongue was almost half a meter long, several times the length of a normal person."
I was shocked by what Uncle Li said. We often met Qiangzi when he was alive, and I can be 100% sure that his tongue is normal.
But how could a perfectly good person's tongue suddenly become so long?
Did Hadron contract some disease, or did he accidentally eat the wrong thing, so his tongue became longer?
"Dongfang, at the beginning, we didn't want to tell you the cause of Hadron's death, not because we believed you, but because this matter was too unbelievable. We were afraid that if we told you, not only would no one believe it, but there would also be people everywhere.
Talking sarcastically."
I understand Uncle Li's concerns. There is a saying here that if someone chews his tongue and makes irresponsible remarks while he is alive, his tongue will become very long after he dies.
Of course, if this happened to others, maybe I would believe it more or less.
But this happened to hadrons, which only shows that this statement is completely nonsense.
We all know Qiangzi’s character very well. He is a standard honest person with an introverted personality. He has never had the habit of speaking ill of others.
"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, is there anything wrong with Brother Qiangzi in the past few days since his accident, or did he eat something special?" I pondered for a while and then asked.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a living person's tongue to become so long all at once. Something must have happened to Hadron's body, so his tongue became longer.
Aunt Li and Uncle Li looked at each other blankly, and then shook their heads in unison, "No, Hadron's behavior has been normal these days. Is there any change compared to normal times? So we can see that Hadron's
When the corpse was found, we were extremely shocked."
This is so strange!
"By the way, Uncle Li, Aunt Li, can I go to Qiangzi's mourning hall?"
