Chapter 104: Vigil
"You figured it out, they are my sisters, and it is natural to take care of them, but you kid, you still owe me a meal, come back early. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "After the fat man finished speaking, he didn't drag the mud and water, patted me lightly on the shoulder, and directly picked up the bag and took a few people on the road."
Chen Ping hugged my arm for a long time before she let go and wiped her tears and followed the fat man in front of her.
Seeing the fat man and the others walking far away, I breathed a sigh of relief, it was time to work, took up the rucksack and Zhanlu, and walked towards the dilapidated house of the husband's family.
There have been a lot of people gathered outside Mr.'s house, and I have seen all these people, all of them are the same group of people who went to find Meng Ye's body last time, that is, the ones who came back from working outside this time.
The expressions on everyone's faces were a little numb, and after seeing me coming, except for the fat man and his father, who came up to say hello, the others just took a strange look at the canvas bag and Zhan Lu behind me and then looked at the door of the gentleman's house in a daze.
I understand what these people are thinking, everyone is afraid of death, and now death is only one step away from them, and three people have died when they come back at the same time, and two people are alive, but they are not much different from death. Who knows if it will be one of them who will be next.
Especially in the past two days, when they saw that other people in the village were running out, they also wanted to run, but the fate of the third child of the Li family made them not even dare to escape.
Now they can only pin their hopes on Mr., who is the most taboo in their daily life, and even children are not allowed to pass by the door, but now it has become their only hope.
"Second child of the Lin family, call a few people to help carry it." The dilapidated wooden door of the gentleman's house was opened, and it was pitch black inside, and only a corpse covered with a white cloth could be seen in the doorway.
There is no need to think about it, this corpse must be Meng Ye's. On the day I came, I heard that Meng Ye died strangely, and then Meng Ye's body was lost and appeared even more strangely, which made these people outside a little scared for a while, even if Meng Ye didn't come back from working with them, but Meng Ye's son was, and Meng Ye was gone just after he came back.
Some people in the village said that Xiao Meng should be the first to die in the village, and Meng Ye died only after giving Xiao Meng his life.
As soon as the door opened, Xiao Meng, who was wrapped in a filial piety cloth on his head, knelt directly at the door.
The fat man's father didn't care about Xiao Meng, he casually pointed a few young and strong people in, lifted the corpse on the ground and walked towards Xiao Meng's house. Xiao Meng walked in front with Meng Ye's black and white posthumous photo, and along the way, except for Xiao Meng's sobbing, there was no other sound at all, which was very dull.
The fat man's father and I walked in the back with my husband left and right, and my husband obviously had something to say to me and didn't want people to know, so he sent my father to the front to greet him.
After seeing the fat man and his father walk away, the gentleman deliberately slowed down a few steps, and after widening the distance from the front, he said to me: "Housheng, you take those guys with you, maybe something will happen tonight, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
"Don't worry, sir, I've been ready for a long time, and I'll have everything with me." I patted the shabby canvas bag and Zhanlu that I was carrying cross-body, and said to my husband.
"Housheng, you also hold this whip, I won't say much about how to use it, maybe you can use it at night." I finally saw where the whip came from, and had been tied around his waist as a belt, and it was no wonder that the whip had been delivered to me in such a timely manner that night.
I also unceremoniously took the whip, although these guys in the canvas bag and Zhan Lu have been able to deal with many situations, but now the odds of being able to use the Dao method are like buying a lottery ticket, who knows if it can be used, I have never told Mr. before, but now one more thing also has an extra layer of insurance.
Mr.'s house is not far from Meng Ye's house, and it didn't take long to hear the sound of firecrackers in the courtyard of Meng Ye's house, and Grandpa Meng's body should have been delivered.
When I saw him coming, everyone made a way for him to enter, and I followed him into the house, which was still furnished as it had been when I came, except that there were more sticks on the incense burner, and the color of the wreath had become old.
Meng Ye's body was placed on the floor of the hall, not in the coffin. Everyone looked at the gentleman and waited for his instructions.
The familiar sigh of the gentleman sounded in my ears again, and after sighing, the gentleman coughed for a while before taking away the handkerchief covering his mouth, and with a gentle wave of his hand, he said, "Enter the coffin." ”
As soon as he finished shouting, the sound of firecrackers outside rang out again. Immediately, several people came out and carried Meng Ye's body and put it into the empty coffin.
The relatives of Meng Ye's family are almost gone, and what happened in the village is too weird, and they are also afraid, so now, only Xiao Meng is the only one who keeps vigil here. Meng Ye's daughter, the legendary Meng Yun, still didn't show up.
Seeing that it was getting darker and darker outside, the gentleman waved his hand so that these people could go back, and all of them breathed a sigh of relief, and if they were to keep vigil here, they would be scared to think about it.
Although Meng Ye was kind and pleasant before his death, he was recognized as a good person in the village, but now that he is dead, everyone is afraid of ghosts in his heart, not to mention that now, the expression on Meng Ye's face after his death is so weird, which is even more terrifying.
Suddenly, there were four people left in the house, Mr., me, Xiao Meng, and the fat man's father.
The gentleman looked at us, sighed and said, "Xiao Meng, the second child of the Lin family, you guys should also go out, the second child of the Lin family, you babies are also gone today, take Xiao Meng to your house." ”
The fat man's father looked at me worriedly, I shook my head at him and said, "Uncle Lin, I'm fine, you go back first, I'll tell you when the matter is over tomorrow and then go into the city to find Lin Hao." ”
"Second brother of the Lin family, you can rest assured, my husband is here, and the custodian will be fine in the future." Seeing the fat man, his father was still a little hesitant, and the gentleman said while coughing.
For Mr.'s words, everyone in the village was like a holy decree, especially at this time, the fat man's father looked at me again, sighed, and pulled Xiao Meng, who was still crying, out of the room directly.
Now there are only two people left in the whole room, my husband and me, plus a strange Meng Ye who died.
My husband and I didn't speak, we just sat quietly in our chairs, and my husband closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw my husband get up, and I followed him until I got to the kitchen, and he asked me to light the fire, and he wanted to cook, and for a while, I couldn't guess what he was going to do.
But I didn't ask much, I just thought that Mr. was hungry, so I just sat down and lit the fire, and Mr.'s hands could make such a fragrant meal, which made me feel a little incredible.
Soon the three bowls of dishes came out of the pot, the meat and vegetarian mix looked very delicious, I was about to pick up the chopsticks to taste the taste, but was stopped by the husband: "Housheng, this rice is not for you to eat, nor for people to eat." ”
I just thought that it was prepared for Meng Ye, who had returned to the soul for the first seven years, and after putting down the chopsticks, I used the "strip plate", that is, a square long wooden plate, to bring the three bowls of dishes plus a bowl of white rice to the hall and put them at the door, and Mr. went to the kitchen to bring a bowl of clear, and a bowl of raw grains was also placed at the door.
