My dad is actually not good to my mother, every time my dad loses his temper and kills my mother, she doesn't talk or cry, sometimes she just sits alone in the yard in a daze.

If the other neighbors in the village quarrel, they could run back to their parents' house, but my mother wouldn't, and no one in our family ever mentioned where my mother got married, as if I didn't have grandparents.

My mom never said to go back to her parents' house once.

…

If it weren't for the papermaker or my father, I would definitely not have come to the Yang family this time, partly because of the scene I saw when I came back that day, and partly because the Yang family didn't want to see me.

When I arrived in the village, I saw the gate of the Yang family from a distance, the doors of the courtyard were closed, Zhong Bai didn't pay attention at the time, I pulled his sleeve, and then stood in the distance and pointed to the door of the Yang family and asked, "Do you think this door looks a little weird?" ”

Zhong Bai glanced at me and asked me, "What's wrong with you!" ”

"Have you noticed that the door of this courtyard looks like a coffin under the cover?" When I look at it from this angle, the two doors really look like coffins.

I don't know why, but when I get closer to this door, I feel like I'm entering a coffin.

If a living person goes into a coffin, isn't it a dead person?

Zhong Bai smiled a little helplessly, telling me not to think about this, and then he took the lead in pushing the door and walked in, I followed at the back door, and I felt a little wrong when I stepped over the threshold.

The shadow under his feet disappeared, and when he looked up, he saw that there was a large cloud in the sky above the courtyard, and the sunlight could not shine in, it was very dark.

The courtyard was empty, and I subconsciously looked into the back room of the Yang family, exactly the same as when I left, with a few oilcloths hanging on the broken windows.

But because there are no lights, I can't see anything from here.

At this moment, I heard two coughs, and when I heard the sound, I saw a person slowly rising out of the Yang family hall house on crutches.

It's Granny Zhou.

She raised her eyes and saw me and Zhong Bai, was stunned and then smiled, and hurriedly came over to greet him warmly, she came over and said a few words to Zhong Bai, saying that the medicine he prescribed was very effective when she came last time.

I actually stood in a daze and was in a trance, and I couldn't hear what Granny Zhou was saying at all, until she walked next to me and grabbed my hand, I woke up and subconsciously pulled my hand back.

Granny Zhou smiled and said to me, "What's wrong with you?" A few days ago, you and your mother came to the funeral to talk about it, and afterwards, my old woman thought about it, is it ours, Granny Zhou is here to apologize to you, don't take it to heart. ”

Her smile made me feel creepy.

She knows what happened the other day? Remember what my mom told her?

What the hell is going on!?

Seeing that I didn't pay attention to her, Granny Zhou looked a little embarrassed, at this time Zhong Bai touched me without a trace, my thoughts pulled back, and then pretended to be calm and said, "It's all over, don't talk about this." ”

"Yes, yes, it's over, it's all gone." Granny Zhou laughed, and then led the two of us to the hall and asked us to wait here.

I stood in the hall, I felt a cloudy wind, I don't know if it was my psychological effect, the hall was empty.

There was only one coffin inside, each with two large benches, which should have been prepared for Granny Zhou, and they were always inside, against the wall, with a blue-striped oilcloth on it.

"What's that?" Zhong Bai pointed under the coffin, and I leaned over to see that there was a lantern under the coffin.

I am too familiar with this lantern, which used to be placed in the corner of the room where I slept, that is, the lantern that the bride of the Shen family carried the lighting.
