Chapter 17: Strange Events
"How can it be the two brothers Liu Dazhuang and Liu Shipeng, is the madman dead?" Li Ergou wondered.
The madman is the uncle of the two brothers, and it is said that he is also a first-hand witness to the strange incident in the Fengyuan Mansion twenty years ago.
According to the old people, the madman was keeping vigil on the construction site at that time, and he came across something unclean, and then he began to go crazy.
In the past 20 years, his family has taken him to see countless famous doctors, but all of them have been ineffective.
The madman's parents died early, and he had no other relatives except his brother and sister-in-law, as well as his two nephews.
The reason why Li Ergou guessed that the deceased person was a madman was because he saw the madman's eldest brother and sister-in-law in the funeral procession.
In Wolong Village, there were not many people who had experienced the strange incident in Fengyuan Mansion twenty years ago, and as soon as the madman died like this, Li Ergou wanted to find the truth about his father's disappearance, so he broke another clue.
"It's just a dead person, what's all the fuss." The fat man teased from the side.
"You know what?" Li Ergou glared at the fat man, and said angrily: "The madman was scared crazy on the construction site of Fengyuan Building twenty years ago. ”
"Oh? And here's the thing. ”
When the fat man heard this, he immediately became interested.
Then I saw that he found two willow leaves out of nowhere, wiped them on his eyes, and said in his mouth: "A heavenly water shades the sun and fire, and two yin trees open the yin eyes." ”
When he had done this, the fat man looked into the madman's coffin, and then frowned.
"What's wrong, fat man?"
Li Ergou wondered, could the fat man still see the soul of a madman?
"See for yourself!"
The fat man didn't answer directly, but wiped the two willow leaves on Li Ergou's eyes and said alone.
Li Ergou hurriedly looked at the funeral procession, and then called out "my mother".
He guessed correctly just now, and in that blood-red coffin, it was indeed a madman lying there.
But you're not alone!
On the body of the madman, there is also a female ghost wearing ancient clothes, and the female ghost chokes the madman's neck with both hands, which is terrifying.
The most terrifying thing is that she seemed to be able to feel Li Ergou's gaze, and suddenly turned her head and stared at Li Ergou with two bloody eyes.
The scene in front of him made Li Ergou shudder.
At this time, the funeral procession had already left the village, and Li Ergou hurriedly urged the fat man on the side: "Fat man, let's go quickly!" ”
"Okay, Brother Ergou, I see that this village is full of yin and weird, you have to be careful."
The fat man nodded, and then said meaningfully.
If it had been placed in the past, Li Ergou would definitely think that the fat man was talking nonsense, but after experiencing the events of the past few days, Li Ergou has a new understanding of the world.
The fat man's words made him instantly alert, and after thinking about it, he felt that something was not quite right.
Why did the fat man only tell him to be careful alone? But he looks like he doesn't care about himself.
And the female ghost in the coffin of the madman, why did she stare at him with such cold eyes, was it just Li Ergou who found her?
Li Ergou only felt that his head was big for a while, and he was hungry because he hadn't eaten lunch, so he shook his head, put these messy thoughts aside for the time being, and walked towards his house with the fat man.
Wolong Village is not big, and Li Ergou's house is not far from the entrance of the village, and after a few minutes, they came to the gate of Li's house.
It was a two-storey blue brick house, a typical southern building, with only some simple renovations, and most of the houses in Wolong Village were of this style.
"Fat man, here, our house is here."
Li Ergou said hello to the fat man, and then pushed open the door and walked in.
When he entered the door, he found that the third uncle was also there, and he was chopping firewood in the yard with a woodcutter.
"Third uncle, when did you come back?" Li Ergou said strangely.
The third uncle raised his head, his gaze directly skimmed over Li Ergou, and fell on the fat man behind him.
After the two looked at each other fixedly for a while, the third uncle said to the second dog: "I received a call last night that the madman died, and I rushed back overnight. ”
Li Ergou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that the third uncle and the fat man would not say a word, so he would start directly.
The fat man was brought back by Li Ergou, and he didn't want to see that kind of situation.
Speaking of the madman, Li Ergou hurriedly asked, "Third uncle, do you know how the madman died?" ”
Who knew that the third uncle had a blank face and said, "Don't care so much about the children, don't hurry up to eat, your mother has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
When the traffic jam was at noon, Li Ergou had already called home and asked them to prepare meals in advance.
It's just that the third uncle's words are still as tough as ever, with an unquestionable taste, which makes people very uncomfortable to listen to.
"Ergou, come over and eat, the crazy man's mother will tell you." At this moment, Zhou Yun came out of the kitchen and said.
When Li Ergou heard this, he hurriedly beckoned the fat man into the kitchen together.
After the meal was served, Li Ergou asked Zhou Yun, "Mom, how did the madman die, can you tell us?" ”
Hearing this, even the fat man raised his head curiously.
"Yesterday the madman talked madly, and when he saw people, he said, "Today there will be two people in the village, one alive and one dead." Zhou Yun explained.
As she spoke, she sighed, paused, and then continued: "Shortly after dark in the evening, the madman died, and everyone said that the madman had suffered retribution. ”
Li Ergou was not calm after hearing this, his heart was slightly shocked, and he secretly looked at the fat man.
Others may think that the madman was talking crazy before he died, but after seeing the female ghost in the coffin, Li Ergou didn't think so.
When a madman suddenly goes crazy, who says he is not giving a warning to the villagers?
But today, apart from him and the fat man, no one else came to Wolong Village.
Does this mean that one of him and the fat man is a living man, and the other is a dead man?
But it's not right to think so, the fat man has been with Li Ergou all day, especially when the madman came out of the funeral, he also cast a spell to let Li Ergou see the female ghost in the coffin.
How can a fat man be a ghost?
As for Li Ergou himself, it is even more impossible!
"Auntie, why did the madman just die in the early morning and be busy burying him in the afternoon?" The fat man asked as he took a sip of soup.
Hearing the fat man's words, Li Ergou also nodded, and he also felt strange about the madman's anxious burial.
And, that seems to be the crux of the whole thing as well.
"Alas, it's not because of Sanyuan, after he came back, he went to the madman's house to see it, and said that the madman was contaminated with evil and must be buried before the sun sets, otherwise it will be troublesome."
Zhou Yun sighed and said, when she said this, her expression was extremely solemn, which made people very puzzled.
After Li Ergou looked up and saw the third uncle sitting silently in the courtyard, he had a little more realization in his heart.
In this room, if you want to say who is the strangest, I'm afraid there is only the third uncle.
For more than 20 years, he had been an honest farmer, and now he had suddenly transformed into a strange man with strange arts, which was really suspicious.
Moreover, he also returned to Wolong Village after midnight.
After thinking of this, a flash of lightning suddenly crossed Li Ergou's heart.
The dead man that the madman said couldn't be the third uncle, right?
