The next day, Zhang Shufen sent Wang Qinglian out of the village with Li Zongguo early in the morning, and they were going to report yesterday's events, especially Du Juan's "suicide". It is not a trivial matter to die now, this day the village is very calm, calm as if nothing has happened, there are groups of people in the village gathered together, but no one mentioned yesterday's events, especially the dog barking incident last night, some people have a premonition that this may be an omen, most of them are a little scared, they are afraid that the curse of the cuckoo before death will happen to them. Several families are already thinking about moving out of the village.

Zhang Shufen also felt uncomfortable at home, she was a vicious, ruthless person, there were not a few women who were ravaged in every way in her hands, although she was not killed, but the ruthlessness of this old woman definitely made the ghosts and gods awe-inspired. But this time Zhang Shufen felt uneasy for the first time, she always felt that the dead cuckoo seemed to be still by her side, sometimes she felt a chill on the back of her neck, as if someone was blowing gently from behind, she turned around suddenly but there was nothing.

Zhang Shufen still has auditory hallucinations from last night to now, she always feels that there is a woman's laughter in her ears, the laughter is so dim, so desolate, whenever Zhang Shufen rubs her ears vigorously after hearing the voice, the sound stops, but I don't know when, the laughter appeared again, Zhang Shufen did not talk to Li Zongguo and Dahua about these things.

Zhang Shufen found that today's big flower is not normal, this morning Zhang Shufen was still in a daze and did not wake up, the big flower actually got up, this is something that has never happened before. Zhang Shufen asked Dahua why she got up so early, Dahua said that she only said "hungry", Zhang Shufen heard Dahua rummaging through boxes and cabinets outside looking for food, Zhang Shufen, who didn't close her eyes all night, didn't think much about it, so she fell asleep on her side.

When Zhang Shufen got up at seven o'clock, she found that the big flower was not on the kang. Zhang Shufen got off the kang and walked outside only to find that Dahua was squatting at the gate of the courtyard with a branch, although Dahua is now a big girl, but Zhang Shufen is too familiar with this action of Dahua, when Dahua was small, because no one played with her, she often squatted at the door of the house like this, scribbling on the ground with small branches. But that's more than a decade ago, and it's been a long time since Dahua did. Today's big flowers are unusual.

After Zhang Shufen looked at it for a while, she didn't pay attention to Dahua, but went to Li Zongguo's house and asked him to go to Wang Qinglian's house with her. When Zhang Shufen sent Wang Qinglian and Li Zongguo to the entrance of the village, and saw them leave in a farm car driven by Niu Ermu, she got up and went home.

When Zhang Shufen was about to leave, the laughter appeared again, Zhang Shufen quickly covered her ears, she was really a little afraid of this voice. Zhang Shufen, a person who had never been afraid of anything, actually felt scared, she thought of Huang Tai Sin in the neighboring village, the old man was almost seventy years old, and now he was a well-known "master", it seemed that he should be invited to take a look, Zhang Shufen made up her mind, and after Li Zongguo came back, she would let him bring someone to invite Huang Tai Sin tomorrow.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Li Zongguo and Wang Qinglian rushed back, and the instructions they brought were to keep all business to stop, and there would be a big deal in two months. Then we must dispose of the cuckoo's corpse and not be discovered.

After having dinner at Zhang Shufen's house, she sent her home because she was also a little scared. Although she did not have auditory hallucinations, she had always felt uncomfortable since last night, and had an indescribable fear.

After Li Zongguo left, Wang Qinglian quickly locked the door, locked the door after returning to the house, and then drew the window and used it as a curtain. Wang Qinglian still felt a little unsupportive, she took out a dagger that Li Zongmin left at home and held it tightly in her hand, and then she went to the kang and lay down, although she didn't know whether this dagger was useful or not.

Li Zongguo has been surprisingly calm in the past two days, and has been doing things according to his mother's instructions, from capturing the cuckoo to confronting the well, to salvaging floating corpses and burying corpses late at night, Li Zongguo did not show a trace of expression on his face, like a walking corpse. When Li Zongguo returned home, he put on the kang and covered the quilt and fell asleep, and fell asleep after a while.

Zhang Shufen, who was already worried, couldn't sleep at all, and then couldn't sleep at all because of the deep snoring of the big flower, although Zhang Shufen felt extremely tired. Just when Zhang Shufen was sleepy and half-asleep, Dahua's snoring suddenly stopped, and Zhang Shufen fell asleep in less than ten seconds.

Dahua sat up slowly, she touched her nose with her hand, and rubbed her stomach again, Dahua was hungry.

She got off the kang, didn't even wear shoes and walked to the outhouse, Dahua scattered around looking for food, after looking for a long time, a bag of sweet potatoes in the corner of the wall attracted Dahua, she carried the bag to the side of the stove, and then led the fire in the stove, Dahua filled the pot with most of the water and then steamed the half bag of sweet potatoes in the pot, each of these sweet potatoes is at least a pound heavier, more than 20 sweet potatoes have to be nearly more than 30 catties. It seems that Dahua has brought out the whole family's meals in the past few days.

Dahua put the lid on the sweet potatoes after finishing them, if these sweet potatoes are cooked, how can it take more than an hour, Dahua stood up and walked to the cupboard, there is a basket of steamed buns left over at night, Zhang Shufen's family is one of the few people in the village who can eat such fine grains as big white steamed buns every day.

Dahua took down the basket, there were more than ten flowering big steamed buns in it, in addition to Dahua eating four steamed buns at night, Zhang Shufen almost didn't eat, Li Zongguo didn't finish eating after he came back, so he went back to the house to sleep. That's why there are so many steamed buns left.

Dahua came to the stove with a jar of pickles in one hand and put down the basket, she grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth, a white flour flowering big steamed bun twice as big as a fist was eaten by Dahua in less than five or six bites.

After eating a steamed bun, Dahua immediately scooped a scoop of cold water and drank it, and after a while, half a scoop of water also entered her stomach. Just back and forth, more than ten big steamed buns, a jar of pickles, seven or eight scoops of cold water just went in, seeing that the steamed buns were gone, Dahua touched his stomach with his hands, and his stomach was a little hard, but Dahua still felt very hungry, at this time the cauldron was steaming, and the steamed sweet potatoes should be ripe in half an hour, but Dahua couldn't wait.

Dahua opened the lid first, a wave of heat surged up, Dahua didn't care whether it was hot or not, she picked up a sweet potato with her hand, she stuffed the steaming half-baked sweet potato into her mouth, at this time Dahua seemed to know that it was not hot at all, and stuffed it into her mouth, and she swallowed the sweet potato in her mouth almost without chewing it, and a sweet potato went down, Dahua's mouth and hands were burned red by sweet potatoes, but Dahua didn't seem to know that it hurt at all, she just wanted to eat it now.

Dahua drank half a scoop of cold water and threw the scoop into the bucket, and then picked up a sweet potato, because Dahua did not wash these sweet potatoes at all, many of them were still stained with mud, Dahua didn't care about these at all, just one after another stuffed the hot sweet potatoes into his mouth, after a few sweet potatoes into the stomach, the skin in Dahua's mouth has been scalded off, the teeth in the mouth are red blood, and the hands are also scalded are blisters.

There are only four or five left in a pot of sweet potatoes, but Dahua has not stopped the rhythm at all, at this time her already fat belly is now fattened, it is already hard, Dahua grabbed another sweet potato and still stuffed it in her mouth, but she really can't stuff it, now Dahua doesn't know that his stomach has been broken, her esophagus has been burned, and the sweet potato she eats is no longer in her digestive system.

The last big flower ate all the sweet potatoes, and she finally said: "Little flower, I'm here." ”

The next morning, Li Zongguo woke up early, he was woken up by a big foul smell, he got dressed and wanted to go outside, when he opened the door, the stench was even bigger, when Li Zongguo covered his nose and came to the outhouse······
