Chapter 82: The First
I don't have the heart to care about these now, the previous feeling has not disappeared now, and the arrival of this rain has made that feeling even stronger, and I am a little out of breath. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When Lin Ling helped me deal with the wound, the fat man's murderous eyes were naked and ignored by me, I sat at the door, my eyes were still looking at Meng Ye's house, and I always felt that my current uneasiness was partly related to Meng Ye's death, and it could also be related to the mysterious gentleman.
The rain was very heavy, Meng Ye was still busy over there, it had been two days, and I didn't know what was going on over there, the fat man's parents had never seen each other since they met in a hurry last night.
Such a ghost weather, bringing an even more depressing consequence is a power outage, I don't know where the power line is broken, or something else, anyway, there is no power.
I was still thinking about watching TV to pass the time, but now I can only play cards in the house, the fat man is bored and stunned, and his mouth keeps muttering why he didn't bring a pair of mahjong when he comes back, and that thing is more energetic than playing poker.
I was also absent-mindedly waiting for what might happen next, and I kept guessing in my heart, and the rain outside had no intention of stopping, and my heart was getting more and more anxious, knowing that something was going to happen, but I couldn't do anything about it, which was really bad.
It didn't take long for the sound outside to become more and more noisy, as if something big had happened, and several of us were stunned for a moment at the same time, threw down the cards in our hands and stood at the door to look out, and the figures were crowded and ran down the mountain.
The fat man's dad came back, and simply said let's not run around, put on a raincoat and rain boots and disappeared into the rain with a rope, Lin Ling didn't have time to ask what was going on, and the fat man's dad had already walked out of our sight.
Standing in the courtyard with an umbrella and looking at the place where those people ran, the fog was heavy, even if I drove the underworld, I couldn't see it, but my heart settled down, not because nothing bad had happened, but because it had happened, and now I just waited for the result.
We didn't have the heart to play cards anymore, we sat in the room and wondered what was going on, and the slightest wind outside to blow Cao Dong could pull our nerves.
The rain stopped, without warning, and the sun came out of the clouds to emit a dazzling light, which was a little dazzling, but such a strong sunlight brought a lot of temperature.
Standing in the sun, looking towards the river, there was a cry over there, Lin Ling was the first to hear that it was Chen Xi's mother's voice, the reason why I was very impressed by the name Chen Xi was because Lin Shan said that her mother didn't let her go to Chen Xi's house to play, and Chen Xi's house was dirty.
The crowd returned, and so did the fat man and his father, and everyone's faces were clouded because of the tightly covered corpse with a white cloth carried in the middle of the crowd.
The body was Chen Xi's father, who drowned by the river, because of the torrential rain just now, the river rose sharply, Chen Xi and her father didn't notice it for a while, and was washed away by the river and hit the stone and stuck there.
Chen Xi's father came back from working outside, because his health was not very good, so he didn't go to Meng Ye's side to help, the weather was good at noon today, and he accompanied Chen Xi and her mother to the river to wash clothes, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen.
I also saw Chen Xi for the first time, an eight or nine-year-old girl, the first time I saw Chen Xi, I sighed in my heart, it was too similar to the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl I saw by the river before, if it wasn't for the wrong age, I would even think it was the same person.
This also gives me a feeling that Chen Xi's father had an accident, which must be related to the little girl before.
The village is not big, and Chen Xi's house is not far from the fat man's house, when the fat man's father passed by the door, he hurriedly explained a few words, and led the villagers to carry Chen Xi's father's body to Chen Xi's house.
There had been no burial before, and now another one had died, and this time the atmosphere was even more solemn, and the names of the villages carrying the corpses were silent.
As I watched the corpse carry past me, I suddenly felt the urge to lift the white cloth, and this urge grew stronger and stronger, and just as I couldn't help but lift it, and my hands were stretched out, the corpse was placed on the ground.
Directly in front, a man appeared, this and the man I saw when I went to Meng Ye's side yesterday, is he the gentleman in the fat man's mouth?
He walked to the side of the corpse, glanced at the fat man and his father meaningfully, the fat man and his father understood, and shouted to the surrounding crowd for adults to take all the children away, the fat man and her mother carried Chen Xi into the house from the arms of the painful Chen Xi and her mother, and Chen Xi's mother cried even louder.
The fat man pulled my sleeve and motioned for me to enter the house, I shook my head at the fat man, the fat man had no choice but to stand here with me, and Lin Ling and a few of them around him were also taken into the house.
Seeing that the children were gone, the gentleman slowly lifted the white cloth on the corpse with his hand, just exposed his head, and then the expression on his face was first startled, and then quickly changed to calm, and then closed his eyes tightly, and it took a long time to open them, sighed, and made a gesture to the fat man's father to signal that he could go, and the villagers once again lifted the body and walked towards Chen Xi's house.
And at this moment, I was extremely shocked in my heart, although I have seen countless ghosts, and there are all kinds of ways to die, but this face is exactly the same as the old man I dreamed of last night, all the facial features are twisted together, and the eyes bulge out more than a frog, but the face is full of fear.
What shocked me was not just this distorted face, but it was evident from his face that he was dead before he drowned, and he was scared to death alive, and only when he was scared to death would such a distorted expression appear.
This time I thought of the little girl of twelve or thirteen by the river, and I felt more and more that it had something to do with her.
Watching the body being carried away, the gentleman looked at me, then shook his head, and let out a low sigh, which contained many, many emotions, but it was unpredictable.
He must have known something, but he never said it, whether he didn't want to say it, or if there was something unspeakable, and I was even more curious about it, and it seemed that I had time to talk to him.
The fat man's mother hugged Chen Xi and followed the villagers, Lin Si held the fat man's hand, and was also crying one by one, Chen Xi's sad appearance just now made Lin Si cry too.
The terrible sound of firecrackers disturbed the tranquility of the village again, this time it became Chen Xi's house, the blower who was originally in front of the house did not move, but turned this side again, the white cloth tent fought, and the voices began to be noisy, covering Chen Xi's mother's cry, and began to cause trouble.
