Story 46 Funeral (4)
Li Lei's mother had no choice but to tell the truth, "His fourth aunt, you kept talking nonsense just now, and I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I tied you up." ”
The fourth aunt thought for a long time and said, "What about the second sister-in-law?" Wasn't she still in the house? She also quarreled with me and said that her mother blamed me and that it had nothing to do with her! ”
Li Lei's mother listened to the words of the fourth aunt and said with a somewhat ugly face, "The fourth family, you can see clearly, where is his second aunt here?" Don't scare me! ”
The fourth aunt's face was also extremely ugly, she looked at her hands and feet and said, "Sister-in-law, you let go of me, it's uncomfortable to tie me up like this!" ”
But Li Lei's mother shook her head like a rattle and said: "No, his fourth aunt, I am for your good, now here is our mother, if you really have something, we can't stop you, think about your son, he is so young, you can't have an accident!" ”
The fourth aunt also seemed to understand Li Lei's mother's intentions, so she had to agree to tie it up like this first! Who knew that before dawn, he saw the fourth uncle running back with a blue face, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw that his daughter-in-law's hands and feet were tied, and the fourth uncle's heart sank, "Sister-in-law, this is ...... What's going on? ”
Li Lei's mother also breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw the fourth uncle coming back, and said: "Fourth, you are back, your daughter-in-law was not normal last night, I was afraid that something would happen to her, so I tied it up first!" After saying that, he felt wrong, "Why did you come here at this time?" ”
The fourth uncle looked at the fourth aunt, his face was very pale, "Sister-in-law, thank you for tying Xiulian, otherwise she will definitely have an accident!" ”
Li Lei's mother had a bad premonition when she heard it, "What's going on over there?" ”
The fourth uncle said sadly: "In the first half of the night, we all fell asleep, but I didn't expect the second sister-in-law to break the rope and run out, and when we found out, she ...... She had already hanged herself from the big locust tree in the courtyard! ”
"What! How is this possible? Li Lei on the side couldn't believe it after hearing this, he had obviously seen his second aunt just now, how could she die in the first half of the night?
The fourth uncle saw that Li Lei didn't believe it, and said: "Really, I can't figure it out, how can such a thick rope break away?" ”
Several people were speechless for a while, and now they can only wait for dawn to speak......
In the morning, the fourth uncle saw that everything was normal for the fourth aunt, so he untied the rope on her body, and everyone came to the second uncle's house. ”
After the fourth aunt saw the body of the second aunt, she was even more frightened, and Li Lei didn't know whether to say whether to say that he saw the second aunt last night.
Because the second aunt died horizontally, she couldn't build a spiritual shed at home, so she had to go into the ground early to settle down.
Li Lei's mother also told Grandpa Zhao about the situation of the fourth aunt last night and asked him what to do?
Grandpa Zhao thought for a long time before he came up with a solution, which was to go to the county town to find his senior brother, maybe there was still salvation.
But it takes a day to go back and forth to the county seat, and tonight is grandma's first seven! It's a bad night!
In addition, the second family died unjustly, there must be resentment in my heart, but I am afraid that tonight will also be a problem, if I leave, I am afraid that I will not be able to return by then, and something big may happen!
After weighing the pros and cons, Grandpa Zhao personally wrote a letter to Li Lei's father, he is from the city, and he is better at speaking and doing things than his brothers, so let him go to find his senior brother.
And Grandpa Zhao himself is guarding tonight with everyone, hoping that Li Lei's father and Grandpa Zhao's senior brother can come back at midnight today!
Li Lei has always been nervous, he doesn't know why he sees things that others can't see, but so far, these things haven't hurt him, is it because he hasn't done anything bad?
After lunch, everyone began to get restless, because in winter it gets dark early, usually around 5 p.m., and when the darkness comes again, God knows what terrible things will happen.
The fourth aunt was so frightened that she couldn't speak now, and the fourth uncle accompanied the fourth aunt step by step, and the third uncle and the third aunt kept burning paper for grandma and said: "Xiulian knows it's wrong, for Xiaojian's sake, let her go!" Xiao Jian is still too young, if there is no mother at this time, how pitiful he should be! ”
Li Lei could see that the third uncle and three aunts were very kind-hearted, and they didn't investigate the whole matter too much, but just wanted grandma to let the fourth aunt go, because her son was still young.
Seeing that it is getting dark, everyone has a feeling of facing a great enemy, today is the first seven of grandma, and according to legend, on this day, the dead relatives will return to their souls. Grandma Li Lei died with a sigh of resentment, and I don't know what will happen if she comes back tonight.
Because Grandma Li Lei lived in three houses, and before she died, she was on the way from the fourth uncle to the second uncle's house, so this time the soul should not appear at the third uncle's house, in order to avoid a head-on encounter with grandma, everyone went to the third uncle's house under the leadership of Grandpa Zhao to sit and wait for Li Lei's father and Grandpa Zhao's senior brother.
Li Lei's mother and third aunt prepared some simple dinners for everyone, and after everyone ate, they gathered together again, and no one dared to be alone......
Suddenly, Li Lei heard someone outside the window calling the name of the fourth aunt, "Wang Xiulian, mom asked me to pick you up...... Wang Xiulian! "If you listen carefully, it's the voice of the second aunt!
The fourth aunt was in a daze immediately after hearing it, but Li Lei found that no one here could hear the second aunt's voice except for himself and the fourth aunt.
At this time, Grandpa Zhao's brows furrowed, as if he felt something, but obviously he couldn't see anything.
"Grandpa Zhao, the second aunt is outside the window!" Li Lei suddenly shouted, and everyone who was scared was a spirit!
Grandpa Zhao asked him with some doubts, "Have you seen your second aunt?" ”
Li Lei nodded, "She called the name of the fourth aunt outside the window, saying that grandma asked her to pick up the fourth aunt!" ”
As soon as Li Lei's words fell, Grandpa Zhao's face changed, and he hurriedly turned around to look at the fourth aunt, but found that she didn't know when she was gone!
"Fourth! What about your daughter-in-law? Grandpa Zhao asked the fourth uncle sharply.
"Isn't it just ......" The fourth uncle was stunned before he finished speaking, but the fourth aunt who was originally sitting next to him disappeared quietly.
Grandpa Zhao came to Li Lei's side and asked him in a low voice, "Xiao Lei, can you see where your fourth and second aunts are now?" ”
Li Lei looked outside and said, "I can't say it either, I have to go out and take a look, they are far away, and I can't see it!" ”
So Grandpa Zhao took Li Lei out to find it and asked others to wait at home, but Li Lei's mother was not at ease, after all, a brother and daughter-in-law had died, who could not be afraid!
But Grandpa Zhao said: "Don't worry, your mother-in-law won't hurt Xiao Lei!" The spirit of that night was not in vain! Li Lei's mother was relieved when she heard this.
Today is the fifteenth, the moon in the sky is big and round, in the countryside at night, especially in winter, there are almost no people outside, because normal people who don't stay at home on a cold day to watch TV warmly, nothing to do outside on a cold day! (To be continued.) )
