Chapter 34: Old Man Liu dies
After regaining consciousness, Chu Xiao suddenly felt surprisingly calm in her heart, she opened her eyes in the dark and recalled everything she had encountered before, without fear or curiosity, she just thought about the picture in a daze until it was almost dawn, and then she felt tired and fell asleep. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After squinting her eyes for a while, Chu Xiao felt a whip sound coming into her ears from a distance outside the window, she opened her misty eyes, only to find that the sun had already risen very high, she quickly got up and went downstairs to wash.
"Xiaojie, where is my sister-in-law and my aunt?" After washing up, Chu Xiao suddenly found that there was no aunt and uncle at home, so he asked his cousin.
"I went to Dayoubei to help, my mother said that the porridge is in the pot, if it is cold, you can heat it yourself. Xiaojie sat in the fire bucket and put down the homework in his hand, and said to Chu Xiao in a nasal voice aggravated by the cold.
"The Liu family, what are they going to help with the Liu family?" asked Chu Xiao.
"Grandpa Liu died, my dad was called to help with the funeral, my mom was invited to be a cook in the past three days, she said that if you can't come back at noon, you can cook first......" said Xiaojie took the paper and blew the snot that was about to flow out.
"Old man Liu is dead?" Chu Xiao muttered, with some reluctance to believe it in his eyes.
Yesterday afternoon's worries finally happened, and Chu Xiao began to wonder if he was really an ominous person for a moment. Thinking of last night's human skin, Chu Xiao felt that he would really provoke unclean things, and he felt inexplicably guilty about the death of Old Man Liu.
But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was wrong, obviously it was a woman she saw at his house yesterday afternoon, and her aunt also said that it was Lu Lu, and when she saw Old Man Liu yesterday, Old Man Liu was already dying, so Old Man Liu's death should have nothing to do with herself.
The human skin face she saw last night began to appear in front of her eyes, Chu Xiao always felt that there was some kind of connection between Lu Luo, last night's human skin face and Old Man Liu's death, and it was very likely that it had something to do with herself, and she didn't know why she suddenly felt like this, probably because she was too frightened last night, and her whole thinking began to be irrational.
"Sister, what are you thinking? You can have breakfast first, I have another problem waiting for you to teach. Xiaojie looked at Chu Xiao, who was standing in place and contemplation, and reminded.
"Oooh......"
After helping the Liu family for a day, when it came to dinner, Chu Xiao's uncle Zhao Bing had to go back to his home. As soon as he entered the house, Zhao Bing took off the hat on his head and hung it on the wall nail, and then he said with an angry face: "This is also done!"
"What's wrong?" Chu Xiao asked in confusion as he looked at his uncle's appearance.
"On this cold day, even if the temperature is higher these days, there is no need to make an ice coffin. Zhao Bing poured some hot water into the cup, and then drank several sips.
"Alas, what's strange about this, probably because I'm afraid that the corpse will rot. ”
Xiaojie understated, and his calmness and calmness, which knew the mysteries of the world, made his father's resentment seem unreasonable, so of course he attracted his father's unkind reply.
"You know what a! Where did it rot in the three days of the day? ”
was told this by his father, Xiaojie had no choice but to pout and obediently calculate his own question.
"Yes, I really don't need an ice coffin this day, but is there anything wrong with this?" Chu Xiao didn't understand what a pair of ice coffins made his uncle angry.
"I'm too anxious!" Not long after Old Man Liu closed his eyes, the ice coffin was rented, and he was in such a hurry to let everyone carry his father into the ice coffin...... "Zhao Bing said and stepped into another fire bucket next to the table to roast the fire.
"I don't know if the old man is hungry and fainted, if he is not good, he will be carried into the ice coffin and froze to death......" Zhao Bing frowned and explained to Chu Xiao, and then he deliberately lowered his volume and said: "When I lifted the old man, his body was still soft, obviously not dead, I was so frightened that I quickly said that his waist flashed and then dodged." ”
"Wouldn't it? that's his father!" Chu Xiao was shocked, and there was some indescribable fear.
When Xiao Jie heard his father's words, he raised his head slightly, and the gel pen in his hand drew a thin and fading line on the paper after losing his control.
"What else does he care about his parents, when the old man was alive, he had the same heart with her wife, and when he could think of it, he would give the old man a bite to eat, sometimes the food he gave was still a gluttonous meal, and if he couldn't think of it, he would make the old man hungry, and he was not even willing to give a mouthful of water......" Zhao Bing's tone was both angry and mocking, and when he wanted to say something more, he saw someone walk in the door.
"Lao Zhao, let's go, let's eat. Liu Da stepped through the door with a relaxed expression.
As soon as Xiaojie saw that Liu Dayou was coming, he immediately bowed his head and wrote his homework with a little weakness, and Chu Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart at this time, "Don't talk about people in the day, don't talk about ghosts at night" is really a wise saying, although the sister and brother did not have too many expressions, but they both sweated for Zhao Bing in their hearts.
"Well, I'll be here later. Zhao Bing said calmly.
"Okay, then I'll call someone else, you go first. After saying that, Liu Dayou stepped out of the door.
When Zhao Bing saw that Liu Dayou was gone, his neck shrank instantly, and the expression on his face seemed to ask Chu Xiao and Xiaojie: "He shouldn't have heard, right?"
Chu Xiao and Xiao Jie looked at Zhao Bing at the same time, and after the three of them looked at each other, they were all relieved.
"Let's go, let's eat together!" Zhao Bing said with some anger after getting off the fire bucket.
"Together, Xiaojie and I are eating at home, I'm going to cook......"
"What kind of meal, your sister-in-law and I are helping his family, what's wrong with me taking the two of you to eat a mouthful of his food? Let's go and ...... together" Zhao Bing said and drove Chu Xiao and his son off the fire bucket together.
When the three of them walked to Liu's house together, Zhao Bing pointed to the side house of Liu's house and said to Chu Xiao and his son: "You two go in first and kowtow to Old Man Liu, and then you two go directly to the kitchen." ”
After Chu Xiao and Xiaojie nodded, Zhao Bing turned around and walked into the main house of the Liu family and sat down.
Chu Xiao followed his cousin into the low side house again, and the place where the wooden bed was originally placed in the room had been replaced with an ice coffin. Outside the coffin, near the head of the corpse, there was a small wooden table, on which was placed a square rice bucket, which was filled with raw rice and two raw eggs, and in the rice bucket and behind the raw eggs was a burning white candle. Next to the rice bucket is a bowl of rice with three pieces of fat on the head, and a pair of chopsticks stuck diagonally on the rice.
Chu Xiao saw the old man Liu lying in the ice coffin at a glance, the skinny face of the old man Liu looked much more cautious than the skull in the herbarium, Chu Xiao saw that his heart was tight and complained: "It's all now, why don't you get a towel to cover your face?"
