Chapter 014: Half a Tongue
Turning back to the city, we cut some meat, bought a few knives of yellow paper, and white candles, and finally went to a restaurant to get a big bowl of white rice, and when night fell, we went back to Sanghuai Village. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Far away from the village, I saw the new tomb, and a few soul-attracting flags planted in front of the tomb shook gently under the blowing of the night wind.
The two of us walked over with a vegetable basket, and the uncle in the suit took out the white candle, lit it, and inserted it in front of the grave, one on the left and one on the right.
Then he took out a big bowl of white rice, as well as two catties of pork, all put them on the yellow paper, and said respectfully: The seniors are above, the juniors are below, passing by here today, there are many disturbances, and I hope that the seniors will have a lot of Haihan.
After speaking, he pinched two chopsticks in his right hand, one into the bowl full of rice, and the other into the pork, and then got up.
I also bowed twice to this new tomb, and then said: "Uncle, you are a veteran of the war, I admire you, really, but I do have something to come to Sanghuai Village to find out, I hope it does not disturb you."
"Uncle, is it okay?" I got up and asked Uncle in a suit.
He nodded and led me towards the village, but as soon as we turned around, before we could leave, suddenly the chopsticks in the rice bowl fell crookedly and fell to the ground with a click.
Many people know that when eating, you can't let the chopsticks stick straight into the bowl, because it is for the dead to eat, but at this moment, the chopsticks inserted in the bowl suddenly fall, what happened? Could it be that the deceased doesn't want to eat?
I glanced at the uncle in the suit, his face suddenly became very serious, and he turned to the grave and said: "Old man, we don't have any other intentions, we just want to come here to investigate a matter, and I hope you can take a look."
After saying this, the chopsticks inserted in the pork also snapped and fell to the ground.
As the chopsticks fell, my legs went limp, and I almost squatted on the ground, because the chopsticks inserted in the rice bowl may not be tightly inserted, so they will fall crookedly, but the chopsticks inserted in the pork, that is definitely tight enough, this can also be crooked?
The uncle in the suit was silent, paused for a moment, walked straight over, quietly picked up the chopsticks on the ground, and inserted them into the rice bowl and pork again.
The two of us still turned around and were about to leave, but this time, the chopsticks in the rice bowl and the chopsticks on the pork snapped twice and fell crooked at the same time!
"It's... What the hell is going on? "I was a little panicked, really a little panicked.
The uncle in the suit said: You go and plug it.
I walked over and picked up the chopsticks very respectfully, one was inserted in the rice bowl, and I shook it deliberately to test the sturdiness, and then the other one was inserted into the pork, which had three small holes in the chopsticks at the moment.
"Old man, you eat and drink well, after all, we are people on two roads, right..."
This time, the two chopsticks did not fall down again, but stood firmly in place.
I quietly glanced at the uncle in the suit, and couldn't help but remember what the old people in the village had told me, they said that the old grandson had gone crazy before he died, and said as he ran, there were two people in the village, one alive and one dead.
Could it be that this is the prophecy of the old grandson?
I know that some people will see some strange scenes when they are born and when they are dying, maybe this is the old grandson who is heralding that one of us will die here?
Or maybe one of the two of us is already dead?
The uncle in the suit never had any expression on his face, as if he never smiled or got angry, and he just kept a straight face all day long, and everyone owed him money.
When we arrived in the village, we went straight to Feng Po's house, this time, the door of her house was opened, and there was a dim yellow light bulb in the house, and we stood on the dirt road in the village, and we could directly see Feng Po in the house, she was sitting at a small square table eating.
"Uncle, you wait for me for a while, I'll go over and ask Feng Po about Ge Yu." I had just taken a step forward when the uncle in the suit suddenly stretched out his arm and blocked it horizontally against my chest.
What did I say?
The uncle in the suit said: Don't go yet, this Feng Po is wrong!
I looked at Mrs. Feng in the house, there was nothing wrong, this was an ordinary rural old woman, her clothes were tattered, but they were also clean and tidy, and she had a shabby navy blue headscarf wrapped around her head.
The uncle in the suit took a closer look and said to me: When we left last night, on the small dirt road outside the village, the old lady who rode a tricycle we met was Feng Po!
Because Feng Po was sitting in the room at the moment, I could only see her side face, so I didn't recognize it at once, so I immediately looked at it carefully, looked at it for a while, and said: No, the old lady I saw last night had a full left hand and a dry right hand, and this old woman had both dry hands, how could it be the same person?
"The crux of the matter is here, last night her left hand was full, and tonight her left hand will dry up into bark, can this be an ordinary person?"
In order to determine if the old woman last night was the Feng woman in the house, I had the courage to say: Uncle, you wait here, I'll go over and take a look.
"Well, be careful, if there's anything wrong, turn around and come out."
I nodded and walked into Feng Po's house.
When I arrived in the yard, Feng Po was stunned when she ate, I knew that she had found me, but she ignored me, still holding a small rice bowl, holding chopsticks to eat slowly, and when I walked to the door, I suddenly gasped.
It's so cold in this room!
I took a general look and found that there was no refrigeration equipment such as air conditioning in this dilapidated blue-tiled house, but it was surprisingly cold!
"Hello, are you Granny Feng?" I asked politely.
She turned her head to look at me, not speaking, but nodding.
Hiss!
My eyes widened with disbelief, because I was sure of what the uncle in the suit said, this wrinkled face and the corners of her eyes collapsed, and the old woman who rode the tricycle last night was the same person, and in the northwest corner of the house, there was the old tricycle.
"Uh... Granny Feng, I... I'm trying to ask you something. "My arm shook as I spoke, and I didn't want to, but I really couldn't control my body.
She squinted at me, then tilted her head with a puzzled look on her face, and from the look on her face, it seemed like she was asking me what I was going to inquire about.
I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Granny Feng, you... Can you say a word? You don't speak, I'm a little hairy in my heart...
Feng Po was stunned for a moment, then grinned, and smiled kindly, but when she smiled, I was suddenly dumbfounded, almost scared to cry, the tongue in her mouth was only half!
Feng Po pointed to her mouth, babbling for a long time, and used her fingers to make a scissors shape, and then stretched into her mouth and shook it, I don't understand dumb language and sign language, Feng Po probably doesn't understand, but I feel as if she is saying: Someone used scissors to cut my tongue.
I was about to lose my footing, Feng Po pointed to the opposite side of the small square table, with a kind smile on her face, and motioned for me to sit down and talk.
I really didn't dare to enter her house, it was really too cold in this room, just like a cold storage, I don't know how Feng Po's old body could bear it.
But looking at Feng Po's kind smile on her face, I firmly believe that she will not harm me, and she is Ge Yu's mother, I love Ge Yu, for Ge Yu, I am not afraid of everything!
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt relieved, and walked into this blue-tiled house at this moment, and as soon as I entered the house, I saw a black and white photo hanging on the west wall, which was a young girl, with a pair of twisted braids, and a very green smile.
Looking through the faint light, I saw clearly that this photo was Ge Yu!
The smile on Feng Po's face was very kind, she handed me a pair of worn-out chopsticks, pointed to the green vegetables on the table, and motioned for me to eat. I nodded and smiled, but I never put my chopsticks down.
"Granny Feng, are you Ge Yu's mother?" I struggled with my mind for a long time, and finally asked.
Feng Po was stunned for a moment, first nodded, then lowered her head again, and wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.
I knew that I had poked her sadness, and I didn't know what to ask at this moment, and after a long pause, I took out five hundred yuan from my pocket, put it on the table, and patted Feng Po on the shoulder.
She looked up, and when she saw the money, she was stunned, and babbled a few words, probably asking me what I was giving her money for.
