Chapter 6: Muyang
What's wrong with him? How does the soul seem to be controlled? Why would you want me to leave?
Sweating profusely, I grabbed my backpack and ran home, and after about five minutes I finally got home. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
My house is not much different from the usual rural cottage, made of red bricks, the yard is very clean and smellless, and the surrounding fence wall has stood there for decades, crawling with plants I don't know.
Around the yard are Chinese cabbage, green onions, garlic and a few trees that I can't name.
I shouted several times, but no one answered.
I was about to knock on the wooden door that had been around for some years, but found an old copper lock hanging on the wooden door, the copper lock was a little flattened, rusty on it, I smiled slightly when I saw this copper lock, not only recalled, when I was a child, I also took this copper lock to hide secretly, at that time, my parents looked for a long time to find it.
I looked around, and saw a bamboo basket woven of bamboo strips hanging on the beam next to it, and some rags were placed in the bamboo basket.
"Hehe, it's still here."
I withdrew my palm, and there was a simple copper key in my hand, as long as my parents went out, they would put this key in the bamboo basket, this secret is only known to my family, it seems that I have long known that I am home now.
Pushing open the door, a familiar smell rushes in, which is the smell of home.
"Alas, isn't this a junior, your mother said that you arrived this afternoon, I estimated the time to come, no, I just happened to meet, they are all at my house now."
The voice came from outside the door. Looking back, this person is the son of my uncle's family, that is, my cousin, Peng Peng.
I smiled and reached out for a cigarette and handed it to him.
"Brother Peng, how old am I, you still call me junior! I don't know, I think I'm really a little white face! ”
After a few years of polishing outside, Brother Peng has indeed become different, his face is a little thin, his skin is dark, his eyes are big, his lips are thick, and he is wearing a set of more famous Nikes.
"Uh, didn't I call it habitual, hehe. Small... Eh, San'er, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've become pretty again. ”
Brother Peng touched the back of his head and laughed stupidly.
I pursed my lips, as if I was a child, and said with a little anger, "Brother Peng, how can anyone say that men are beautiful." ”
Brother Peng patted his head, nodded again and again, and then helped me pick up the backpack.
"San'er, I haven't eaten at noon, I'm hungry, I'm hungry! Let's go, it's almost time to start the table, and we have to catch up with the first table. ”
After he said this, my stomach did 'growl' a few times.
However, I just came back, and I went directly to the banquet before I went to the third uncle's house to mourn, which is not polite.
I thought about it. I glanced at Brother Peng: "Let's go to the third uncle's house first, don't be in a hurry to eat." ”
With that, I turned and walked out the door.
"No, you can't go and see, something happened to the third uncle!"
Brother Peng caught up with me with a brisk step, holding my shoulder, staring at me with a pair of dark eyes, still full of worry as he did a few years ago, and then spoke a little worriedly.
"What's the situation, why can't you go?"
I frowned and asked.
Brother Peng lowered his head and pondered for a long time and sighed.
"Hey, the third uncle came back to his soul last night, and the chickens and dogs at home are restless!"
"What, Soul Recovery? People have not died for seven days, how can they return to their souls? No kidding! ”
I grinned and spoke.
Soul resurrection usually occurs seven days after death, and evil ghosts appear on the day of resurrection, these are all brought in my mind, how do I know specifically, I don't know!
"Whether you believe it or not, that's the truth, it was the one who returned to his soul yesterday, when the second uncle met a demon, and now he is still in the middle of the evil spirit, and the boss is swollen all over."
Brother Peng spoke cautiously, and his tone was a little gloomy.
"Okay, then I won't go to the mourning hall, let's go."
I felt a little dull and threw away the cigarette butt in my hand.
When Brother Peng saw that I agreed, he immediately showed his white teeth and laughed stupidly, and said to me as he walked.
"San'er, how long do you plan to stay when you come back this time, if you stay for a long time, just introduce someone to you to get to know ......"
"Oh? Who? ”
I stared at Brother Peng with a hint of surprise, and I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart.
"I'll introduce you when we meet."
Brother Peng smiled and didn't speak again.
We made small talk about a few more things on the way, and we didn't stop talking until the sound of firecrackers sounded ahead.
Lao Yang's family has built a building, a huge white mourning shed has been built on the cement lawn in front of the building, the piercing mourning sound came, and the tent was full of bustling people, most of whom I was familiar with, but I couldn't name them, they were all around a round table, waiting for the food to be served.
There are some strange characters written on yellow mounting paper around the tent, I don't understand it, I turned my eyes and found that there are many wreaths of various colors around, and there are a lot of huge fireworks stacked in the corner, these are authentic fireworks, and there is a band in a corner, a brand new drum kit, an electronic organ, and a band, the pomp is not small.
"Alas, isn't this San'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm handsome, my uncle doesn't have much time to entertain you, you go to your cousin, Peng Peng, come with me, there's something."
At this moment, a thin old man walked out on the opposite side, more than ninety years old, with wrinkles on his face and a bare head, without a single hair.
He was my eldest uncle and my grandmother's eldest brother, and I said hello and complained a little in my heart.
"Why do you still treat me like a child?"
Listening to his words, a trace of doubt appeared on my face, and then my uncle's face sank slightly, and he glanced at Brother Peng and asked him to follow.
"San'er, don't run around, I'll go back when I go."
Brother Peng ordered me a few words, and his face showed anxiety, and he followed his uncle without even putting down his bag.
Idle and bored, I walked into the spirit shed, everyone stared at me, as if they were looking at monsters, some began to look at me, and I suddenly had a feeling of standing out from the crowd.
It was a very bad feeling to be stared at, and just as I was about to go looking for my cousin, I suddenly felt a chill in my body and my eyes ached.
I sat down and rubbed my eyes, when a cold voice rang in my ears.
"I'm sorry, but you're sitting in my place."
