Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Village Lives
The car was shaky along the way, and it made me upset. There were not many people in the car in the morning, and I was hungry, and I didn't know who was eating in the car. Wang Jing couldn't help but snicker when he saw my expression that life was worse than death.
We got out of the car, and I still remember that the third uncle drove an ox cart to pick us up, although the third uncle was actually just a lonely ghost. This time we had to walk.
The weeds on the side of the road are growing so fast that they are almost waist-length. I don't know if the rocks on the road were blown up by the strong wind or if there were occasional people. If nothing else, there may be no more than ten people alive in that village.
"What do you want?" Wang Jing saw me thinking about things as I walked, and occasionally tripped over me, and looked at me with a funny face, "Are you thinking about how you can not be hungry?"
"Don't treat me as the third child's glutton. I looked up at the sky, there were no clouds, "I was thinking, the next time I met Xu Lingxue, there would be some trouble." ”
Xu Lingxue, who escaped, and the ghost who was more than 2,000 years old who didn't know if he was a man or a woman again, although the Hades King sent someone to find it, but listening to their meaning, there was very little hope.
"We're all dead, what are we doing so much, can there be anything worse?" Wang Jing said lightly.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of someone falling behind me. I didn't even think about it, and I didn't even look back and shouted: "Third child, can you be as steady as me?
"What are you talking about?" the third child's voice suddenly came from the front, and the person also walked in front of me. Something was wrong, I quickly turned around, and a boy who looked a few years younger than us was getting up and watching us warily.
"Who are you, what are you doing here?" I saw that he seemed to be frightened by what we had just said, and I didn't help him, but just looked at him. This road only leads to Xujia Village, what is he doing with us?
The boy was quite scared of life with glasses: "I should ask you this, are you human or ghost?"
His trembling appearance is really exactly the same as the original three.
"We are from Xujia Village, we moved out after we were eight years old, and today is the death day of our family, so we came to the grave to burn paper. I grabbed the third child's backpack and brought him over, revealing the paper money in his backpack.
"That's right. The boy breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm from Xujia Village, just like you, but I came back from school and vacation." My name is Ming Wei. ”
Most of the families in Xujia Village have the surname Xu, and there is only one family in the village with the surname Ming. He said he was coming back from vacation? Didn't he know anything about the village?
"No, you said you were coming home for the holidays?" I asked him, the sun was high, and it didn't look like a time for ghosts to come out.
Mingwei looked at me strangely: "Is there any problem? Why don't you go home during the holidays?"
"Don't you know?" I tried to phrase it tactfully, "don't you know that something happened to the village?"
Mingwei came over and patted me on the shoulder: "Don't listen to their nonsense, what's going on in the village? Two days ago, my parents called me and asked me to go back to the village for two months on vacation, but they didn't say anything happened." ”
My hairs are blowing up. Xujia Village has long been empty, how can there still be people living there? It can't be that someone is so bold as to move back without caring about anything? I glanced at Wang Jing, and she also had an expression of disbelief. Forget it, look at the past and everything is settled.
We followed behind Mingwei, and the third child and Mingwei had a good chat. I've been worried all the way, and my eyelids have been jumping since I met Mingwei. That's not a good thing.
It's almost time to reach the entrance of the village, and there are actually two people at the entrance of the village who are rubbing the marble engraved with Xujia Village! The three of us stood still and were dumbfounded, Ming Wei ran two steps and shouted while running: "Boss, second, I'm back!"
"What's going on?" I whispered to Wang Jing. Wang Jing also shook his head: "How do I know." You can't be haunted in the middle of the day. ”
Standing at the entrance of the village, I found that there were actually people living in the village, and the occasional villagers were still chatting. Mingwei didn't know what to say to those two, and pointed at us, and the two of them nodded at us. Mingwei ran back: "Since they are all in the same village, we don't have to be polite, you are busy with yours, you have time to come to my house to play, if you can't find it, just ask." ”
I nodded haphazardly, and never left the village. The three of us entered the village, and my eyelids jumped harder and harder. The houses I passed by were all exactly the same as the ones I had asked me to re-experience before or the ones I had seen. Occasionally, the villagers who came out passed by us, which frightened me to stop, and even Wang Jing didn't want to face this fact in front of me.
"What's wrong?" the third child looked at the two of us who stopped, "I also knew that there should be no one in the village, but the matter is over, and there will be people who come back to live, after all, no one wants to leave home." ”
I feel like the third child is comforting himself. I swallowed: "Did you see the villagers who passed by just now?"
"See, what's wrong?" asked the third child what was wrong, but his knuckles turned white.
Wang Jing took a deep breath: "The one who passed by just now is called Xu Tian." The death record I had seen with Director Zhang before had a picture of him. ”
The third child hurriedly looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he looked nervous: "Won't you two want to say that it's all haunted in the middle of the day?"
I don't know how to explain it, Wang Jing thought for a long time before saying, "It's not a haunting, it's the village that is alive." ”
"Let's get down to business first. "We can't think of a way for a while, but we can't forget the purpose of coming out this time.
We walked down the village road to the back hill. I remember that my grandfather's grave was under the poplar tree in the back mountain, and I don't know who found the location.
Walking and walking in front of me is the yard of my house. The dark courtyard door was closed, and the original word "happiness" was still pasted on it.
"Sister Jing, you said that if I hadn't come back at the beginning, wouldn't there have been so many things later?" I looked at the happy word, and I felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Wang Jing suddenly reached out and touched my hair: "If you hadn't come back, I would never have met you again." And, it won't be long before you're going to die. I've thought before, if you don't come, then I'll look for you, whether you're alive or dead, I'll look for you. ”
"Hey, I said, there's another person here, you can get tired of waiting to go back and make a record. The third child looked at us with a lewd expression.
Before the two of us could scold him, a person suddenly came out of the yard of my house, and he was scolding: "Whose little rabbit cub, Lao Tzu is going to get married, what is he saying about death or life, can he be auspicious?"
Seeing the person clearly, Wang Jing and I were dumbfounded. We looked at him for a long time before a word came out of my mouth.
"Dad?"
