87_87408 Chapter 217 is actually a jade bead

Just when the second uncle and his family were worried about the girl's parenting, another strange thing happened, which quickly diverted their attention.

Here's the thing, when I got up one morning, the second uncle saw my eldest son walking around the house, looking very leisurely, sitting in the house and scratching his head from time to time, not knowing what a person was muttering.

"Da Mao, why don't you work so early." Da Mao is the milk name of the eldest son of the second uncle, the second and third are called Ermao, Xiaomao, and Yuzhu is called Maomao.

"I want to do it, but I can't do it!" The eldest son was still sitting there.

"Why is there no work? Do you want to be lazy, don't you, the load of firewood you picked up last night? Why not split it? The second uncle said in a loud voice.

"It's already split!" The eldest son replied.

"Nonsense," the second uncle went up to the eldest son's head and patted him, he always believed that filial piety came out under the stick (of course, this does not include the right Yuzhu), "You finished splitting not long after you got up, you dreamed of splitting last night?" ”

"What's the matter," the eldest son covered his head aggrievedly and said, "I got up early this morning and someone split it, I don't believe you can go and take a look." ”

When the second uncle heard this, he didn't see that his son was coaxing, so he got up and put on a dress and walked to the door.

"Alas, this is weird," the second uncle also scratched his head and guessed: "Could it be that Ermao or Xiaomao made it?" ”

The eldest son shook his head and said, "Impossible, the two of them are asleep at this moment, how can they get up so early to chop wood." ”

At this moment, the door of the other room opened, and I saw the two sons coming out of the house one by one, yawning and saying, "Daddy, what are you doing outside early in the morning, so noisy that you don't let people sleep?" ”

"Sleep, sleep, you know how to sleep, if the house is emptied, you don't know." None of the sons have done it, and he and his wife have just gotten up again, who did this chopping wood, it can only be said that someone went into their yard last night.

"Maybe it was the little sister who did it," the younger son said casually, but as soon as he finished speaking, he himself felt impossible, let alone chopping wood, the little sister was so painful to her that she didn't even let her touch the fire a few times.

"Don't say it, hurry up and see if there is anything lost at home!" The second uncle thought about it, but still felt uneasy, and hurriedly instructed that if someone could really enter the courtyard, it would be difficult to guarantee that they would not "follow" anything.

But they rummaged for a while, and even looked at the kitchen, and even the bowl with the gap at the bottom was not missing, there was still so much grain in the rice bowl and noodle jar, and there was not a single chicken or duck missing from the egg, and the family had to scratch their heads and express their wonder at the chopped firewood.

There is no shortage of things in the homes of several people, and the matter of firewood has been ignored in the past, and there are many people in the countryside who can always watch whether there is anyone in the family or who is helping to chop wood.

Everyone thought that this matter would be over, but they were wrong, the strange thing was far from over, maybe the firewood was just a small beginning.

Since then, strange things have continued to happen at home, first of all, the firewood was chopped early in the morning, and they didn't care too much, just because there was one less work to do at home, anyway, it was effortless and no loss, which was naturally good for them, and there might be something guiding in the dark, they were just ordinary people, and it was better to take care of it.

The second uncle's family originally wanted to ignore it slowly, but the next thing couldn't be ignored anymore.

The second uncle and his sons found that the food in the family was gradually decreasing, and there was also wine hidden in the kitchen, or something, as long as it was rice, flour, meat and wine in the kitchen, it was just filled in one day, and it would be reduced by a quarter the next day, which slowly consumed a lot of food invisibly.

Although there is no shortage of food at home, it is not rich, but it can withstand the consumption of food.

But if they don't prepare these foods in the kitchen, they try to hide them in the house as soon as they finish the food, but if they don't prepare, the second uncle's family will find that there will be one or two chickens or ducks missing from the family's livestock shed.

They don't think about every way, they also leave two people to keep vigil or something, but this kind of thing happens every three or five times, and it doesn't happen every day, if it is like this every day, this family will be poor a long time ago.

The sons still had work to do the next day, and if they kept vigil every day at night, they couldn't stand it even if they were beaten with iron, so after the second uncle's family had several vigils but nothing came of it, they had to give up.

The days go by like this, and they have to be the one with a big appetite in the family, but fortunately, although there is less food, they will find that there is a lot of work the next day, such as chopping wood and carrying water, and someone will help to do it.

Sleepwalking in the middle of the night.

Until one night, when the second uncle got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and got up and crossed the yard in a trance, she suddenly heard a rustling sound, which frightened her to wake up suddenly, thinking that the family had been robbed, and hurriedly and quietly called the old man to get up.

The second uncle was just in a dream, and when he was woken up by the old woman, he heard that there was a thief in the house, and he was also very frightened, and quickly beckoned the old woman to hide in the room, thinking about getting the three sons next door to get up.

The old couple didn't dare to turn on the light, they just wanted to hide in the house to see the appearance of the thief, they weren't sure it was a thief, the strange things that happened in the past few days made them think that the house was not clean things, and they didn't dare to call their son rashly, they were afraid of the most "that thing".

They had to hide in the door, and opened the door slightly, and the room was dark without turning on the lights, only following the moonlight outside to peek out.

After a while, there was another rustling sound, and when the two of them heard it, they were so shocked that they didn't dare to breathe, for fear of alarming the courtyard, so they just held their breath and continued to observe.

They peeked through the dim moonlight. The gate in the courtyard was tightly closed, and a black shadow was cast on the bare ground, shaking so that it was impossible to see what it was doing, and soon they heard a thudding sound, and saw a shadow on the ground, as if holding a knife, repeating an action mechanically.

Boldly, the two of them opened the door a little more, stretched out their heads and looked out, there was actually a person in the courtyard.

I saw the man sitting in the corner, with a machete in one hand and a firewood in the other, and every time he had chopped a pile of firewood, he stacked them neatly on the side, and so on until all the firewood was chopped.

After chopping the firewood, I saw the man walk slowly to the kitchen, and after a while, there was a faint light from the kitchen, and a small flame was slowly burning, and the figure on the kitchen wall was getting taller and taller—the man was actually cooking in the kitchen.

"Hey, old man, who do you mean is that?" The second uncle asked a little nervously.

"Who knows? I guess these few days are the fault of this person. The second uncle replied quietly, although he was not quite sure if it was human.

"Hmph, it's not," the second uncle complained in fear and fear, "I have to ...... if you waste so much food for us, and catch him later."

"Shhhh Don't say it," the second uncle whispered: "I don't know if it's a human or a ghost, if that unclean thing offends it, will we still have a good life!" ”

"That'...... What should I do? Hearing that it might be that thing, the second uncle and mother-in-law also hesitated, after all, the little ghost is difficult, and their family can't withstand this kind of toss.

"Let's take a look." The second uncle replied.

At this time, the fire in the kitchen was already very large, and it could almost illuminate the whole room as much as the same, only to see a black shadow projected on the wall, it sat down, and there was a small box and other items in front of it, and there were actually several dishes and a bowl of rice on it, and there was a bottle standing next to it, and the second uncle recognized that the bottle was used by him to hold rice wine, and it also contained half a tael of good rice wine.

I saw that the black shadow went down, first picked up the rice wine in his hand, and went to most of it as soon as he looked up, so distressed that the second uncle in the house grinned and almost didn't rush out, but he didn't want to drink it for a long time!

After drinking a few sips of rice wine, the shadow began to take a chopstick holiday, began to gulp the mouth stuffed, and after a while, a table of things was quickly swept away, and the shadow began to put away the table and wash the dishes, and after taking care of it, he put out the fire, closed the kitchen door, and walked out.

The man walked out slowly, and the second uncle and his wife were almost attached to the crack of the door, and then the not very bright moonlight looked at it, and the person in front of him really surprised the old couple - this person was actually Yuzhu.

The second uncle almost screamed in surprise, it turned out that it was Yuzhu, the quietest and most unlikely youngest daughter in the family, who had done these things these days, which was really surprising.

Since it's your own family, why do you do these things? And when the second uncle's family mentioned it at the dinner table many times, the daughter also looked unaware. The second uncle immediately stood up and wanted to open the door and go out to ask her daughter clearly.

They have loved this daughter since she was a child, and they almost respond to their needs, what their daughter wants to eat and drink, they don't need to be so sneaky at all, just say it directly, even if it is in Jingui, their old couple will get it for their daughter.

The second uncle stood up, really wanted to open the door and go out to stop her daughter, but was about to speak, but was stopped by the second uncle on the side, looking at him, the second uncle shook his head, stretched out a finger to his mouth, signaling her not to make a sound.

I didn't quite understand what her husband meant, so the second uncle had to look ahead again, but the second uncle still stopped her and shook her head, not letting her go out, and not letting her speak, just waiting until Yuzhu in the courtyard slowly walked back to the room, and then quietly closed the door.

"Old man, it was a jade bead just now, and it's not something unclean, why are you stopping me from calling her?" The second uncle sat in the room and whispered.

The second uncle didn't speak immediately, just frowned, picked up the cigarette roll next to the bed with one hand, took a puff of cigarette, and then slowly spit it out, "I look at my daughter like this, it doesn't look like she's awake." ”

"What? What do you say, my daughter didn't wake up, impossible, she could do so many things without waking up, and she could still cook on the fire? The second uncle didn't believe it.

"Don't believe it, think about it, does our daughter usually chop wood? I also drank half of my bottle of wine," as soon as he thought of his own for a long time, the second uncle felt a pain in his flesh, "Usually she doesn't talk about chopping wood and wine, the fire hasn't been lit a few times, if she is awake, can she do these things?" ”

"Then, the master, did you say that the girl was ghosted?" The second uncle began to be a little worried, and guessed wildly.

"That shouldn't be," the second uncle took another puff of cigarette, "We are usually innocent, and we don't dare to do anything wrong, we shouldn't provoke that thing, but it's ......"

"What is it?" Don't buy it, say it! The second uncle said anxiously, of course she was very anxious about the little girl.

"Rather, I look at my girl like this, like sleepwalking in the city!" The second uncle has lived most of his life, and immediately said his guess.

Although the second uncle lives in the countryside, he will often read the newspaper, he is studious, although the family has no money to study, but by going to the school to eavesdrop, more or less learned some words.

He had read in the newspaper he had brought back from the city, and if he came across someone getting up in his sleep to do something, he must not call that person, otherwise that person would probably be frightened to death by his actions.

He remembered that there was such a person in the village when he was a child, and he also had this problem, and he would go out for a walk as soon as he slept at night, and sometimes he would even run to the entrance of the village and stay there like a dog to sleep, and the big guys knew that he had this problem, but the old people in the family told him not to say it, so they never mentioned to the man that he had this problem.

Although the man was also very curious, why he sometimes woke up at the entrance of the village, and when he went to ask everyone, everyone waved their hands and said that they didn't know.

Until one day, a distant relative came to the man's house, a young man.

When the young man got up in the middle of the night, he suddenly saw a dark shadow flashing in front of him, and he was so frightened that he immediately rubbed his eyes and saw that it was the owner of the house where he lived, and he watched the man close his eyes, slowly opened the door of the house, and walked out slowly, without even closing the door. ，

The young man didn't know what was going on, and thought that a relative had something important to go out, so he hurriedly stopped him and asked him if he wanted to close the door.

As soon as the man's name was called, the man slowly stopped, and the guy thought that his relatives didn't hear him, so he raised his voice and shouted his name to the man.

As soon as these words landed, I saw that a fierce spirit of the person who had closed his eyes suddenly opened his eyes, stared forward with wide eyes, and fell straight back.

The young man panicked, and hurriedly ran up and shook his relatives, who knew how to shake and didn't wake up, the people in the village heard the movement and hurriedly put on their clothes and came out, and after seeing the situation, they carried the person to the hospital, and waited until the hospital finally rescued the person, only to find that the person had gone crazy
