Story 83 The Corpse Seeker (3)

After this incident, I was still thinking in my heart, if the main family knew that this Sichuan man had traveled thousands of miles to carry them back, and it was an old lady who was almost 80 years old as his daughter-in-law, would they vomit blood in anger?

Uncle Cousin's village is called Jiajiatun, of course, not everyone is surnamed Jia, but the first person who came here to open up the wasteland was surnamed Jia, hence the name. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiajiatun is not big, there are more than 100 people in the whole village, my cousin's family lives in the east of the village, there are more than three acres of land at home, my cousin is not in good health, and has been resting at home.

But fortunately, my cousin is a little famous Mr. Yin and Yang in this village, although he can't make a lot of money, but food and clothing are not a problem, so even if there is more of me, who eats white food, the family will not be too nervous.

My cousin is a passionate Northeast woman, I met her when she came to Beijing to see a doctor when I was a child, and she was a beautiful woman in my childhood memories.

But now...... Years of illness have made her bright eyes cloudy for a long time, and the handsome face pet of the year has also become swollen and fat due to the effect of drugs, but the only thing that has not changed is her enthusiasm for others.

As soon as I entered the house, he hurriedly took my hand and said, "Let my cousin take a look, has our Jinbao changed much in the past few years?" ”

Looking at her beautiful face, my eyes were a little red, but my cousin said happily: "Silly boy, do you see that my cousin is old and not as good-looking as before?" ”

I shook my head vigorously and said, "No, my cousin is still as beautiful as before!" ”

After listening to me, my cousin jumped on my head, "Running the train with a mouth, your cousin wants to be the same as back then, then she won't be an old goblin?" ”

I rubbed my head and said, "You're a goblin!" ”

My cousin smiled and let me go to the dinner table, and I looked, ho! This table of dishes includes sauerkraut and white meat, pork stewed vermicelli, and my favorite sticky bean bun! So I shook off my cheeks and started eating.

My cousin looked at my food and liked it very much, and said vigorously: "Jinbao, you can make it hard!" Come to my cousin's house, you can definitely eat enough meat! ”

I said vaguely while eating: "Don't worry, Uncle Cousin, I will definitely make it!" ”

Maybe it's because my cousin and aunt don't have children, so they like me very much, my cousin is not in good health, and she can't get pregnant, and then she raised a boy, but when she was three years old, she died, and then after my cousin calculated a hexagram for himself, he never mentioned the child's stubble.

But later, after getting drunk once, I heard him say: "In my life, I am destined to have no children, even if I go against the sky, in the end it is still a bamboo basket to draw water, forget it, as long as Lanzi (my cousin's name is Zhang Guilan) her body can get better, it will be the same for the two of us." ”

When I came, it was exactly 39 days, in the rural areas of Northeast China, every household was at home in the winter, and the more than three acres of land in my cousin's house was enough for a ration, and a big black pig in the family could not be killed until the New Year, so if you want to eat meat, you have to go up the mountain with your cousin to hunt game.

When my cousin was young, he could wear a few robes in the mountains every winter, and now the state propaganda says that the robes are also national protected animals, and they can't be put on in the mountains, so he has to make some pheasants and hares in the winter to give his cousin a tooth sacrifice.

My cousin took me into the mountains early this morning, and when I came from home, I only wore a wool shirt, and my cousin specially made me a new pair of cotton pants, in her words, "I can't survive the winter without cotton pants in the Northeast!" So this morning I wore the cotton pants that my cousin had made for me, and went up the mountain with my cousin warmly.

As soon as I reached the mountain, I was shocked by the white snow in front of me, and I saw that the dense pine forest was full of thick snow, and I stepped on it to the base of my thigh! Fortunately, my cousin made me a pair of simple snowshoes, which I could easily walk on the snow......

My cousin told me that although the snow in the mountains is very thick now, if it doesn't snow, any animal walking on the snow will leave traces, but now he doesn't have to shoot with a shotgun, and can only play some simple sets.

Today, my cousin and I are going to check three places, and he has a set in his heart, and he will check it every day, unlike other people in the village, who mess with the set and then forget where they are, so that many large animals will starve to death after being caught in this set!

After the two of us walked in the mountains for about an hour, I heard my cousin suddenly tell me to lie down. As a result, I lay down and waited for a long time, and then I saw my cousin bring back a gray hare from not far away!

He said proudly, "Jinbao, let's eat braised hare meat at night!" ”

I was naturally happy to hear it, and I swallowed saliva unconsciously.

My cousin hung the hare on his waist and pulled me up from the snow, "Go!" Go and take a look at the next set......"

So my cousin and I walked the snow for half an hour to find another place to put down the set, but unfortunately there was nothing on this set, and my cousin checked it carefully, and indeed no animal had ever gotten in, so this time we had to leave in a huff and go to the third set.

My cousin saw that I was a little disappointed, so he scratched my head and said, "It's okay, it's a common thing, sometimes there will be nothing in the set for a few days, and today there is a hare that is good!" ”

While we were talking, we arrived at the place of the third set, and before I could see if there was anything in the set, I heard my cousin whisper to me, "Jinbao, you stay here and don't move yet, I'll go over and take a look, there are strange things in this set......"

I was a little scared when I heard this, but I was very curious, so I didn't listen to my cousin's words, and slowly rubbed in the direction he walked over.

Just as I was about to walk up to him, I suddenly saw my cousin half-squatting on the ground with strange movements, as if he was talking to someone, but because he was facing away from me, he couldn't see what was in the cover.

As I walked further and further, my cousin heard my voice, and he slowly turned his head back to look at me, his expression not strange......

"Uncle Cousin......"

Just as I called out to him, I saw a small fiery red creature burst out from under him, and it moved so fast that before I could see clearly, it quickly disappeared into the woods!

I said with a guilty face, "Did I scare the prey away?" ”

My cousin shook his head and said, "No, I let it go!" ”

"What? Why? I asked, puzzled. (To be continued.) )
