Fat Xu is big again.

Wang Dequan really has his own name, and his virtue is not complete at all.

For example, the card virtue is very poor, and he scolds and scolds and counts the money to pay Xu Fatzi.

After paying, Wang Dequan took out his cigarette and smoked again, and the delay was a bit long.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Deyin stroked his legs: "It seems to be a little cold." ”

Wang Dequan also shrunk his neck: "It's indeed a little cold." ”

The rhythm of playing mahjong was interrupted, and everyone felt a cold wind blowing.

When the wind passes by my ears, it seems to have a little yin sound.

Wang Deyin shuddered, and Wang Dequan looked at Wang Debin's corpse on the side.

The white cloth on the corpse was tucked a few times with the wind, and the ever-bright lamp in front of the funeral bed was turned out.

Wang Dequan hurriedly got up, clasped his hands, and kept chanting in his mouth: "Brother, there is no blame, there is no blame." ”

"It's all my brother's fault, I'll help you light the lamp right away."

Wang Dequan cautiously went over and pressed the lighter tremblingly.

After a few clicks in a row, the lighter didn't come on, and Wang Dequan began to chant again: "Brother, it's strange, don't scare your brother." ”

"Bang bang, bang, bang..."

"Ahh Wang Dequan screamed and sat on the ground with weak legs.

Xu Fatzi was the first to rush into the house, and the sound came again, but not so loudly.

The three of us followed, and the rope in the hall was still dangling, gently swaying with the wind.

On the ground, Yu Ge's chalk-drawn outline of Wang Debin's hangings is clearly visible.

Xu Fatzi stood at the door of the kitchen, pointed to an aluminum lid and said, "The sound is the one that made it." ”

"What do you see?" I asked.

Xu Fatzi replied: "When I came in, the cylinder head seemed to be picked up and then covered again. ”

It turns out that there will be water storage tanks in rural areas, and the sound just now is made by the cylinder head hitting the water tank.

Hearing this, Wang Deyin, who was a little bolder, trembled and said loudly: "Wang Debin, are you back?" Don't be foolish, there are two archmages here. ”

The only thing that answered him was the unknown sound of insects by the courtyard wall.

"Let's go out," Wang Dequan was so frightened that he was about to cry: "This house is too small, I'm afraid it's too late to escape." ”

He was the oldest of the four, and he was the priority if the Wraith demanded his life.

When I got out of the house, what I saw opened all the pores on my back, and the two brothers, Wang Dequan and Wang Deyin, screamed wildly.

Wang Debin sat up and looked at us with bulging eyes.

"I think you're dying." Xu Fatzi rushed forward with murderous aura and slapped him in the face.

Wang Debin fell down heavily, and his protruding left eyeball was actually fanned.

Xu Fatzi took a few steps back, about to find his eyeballs, when suddenly there was a 'click' sound under his feet.

It turned out that Wang Debin's eyes rolled around at the feet of Xu Fatzi and was crushed by him.

I heard the sound of Wang Dequan and Wang Deyin swallowing saliva.

Although the eyeballs were crushed, there were still some fascia connected, Xu Fatzi picked up the broken eyeballs, uncovered Wang Debin's eyelids and stuffed them indiscriminately.

Then he turned his head and said nonchalantly, "I'll wash my hands." ”

"It seems that Comrade Xu and Comrade Feng are here," Wang Deyin swallowed his saliva and said: "Tomorrow's funeral may be very busy, and it's not too early now, Wang Dequan and I will go back and squint." ”

"No," Xu Fatzi reflexively shouted: "I still have to pull the book." ”

I stepped forward to persuade Fat Xu, but I saw that his legs were shaking slightly.

"Don't let them go," Fat Xu lowered his voice: "I'm panicking now." ”

After a long time, it turned out to be a strong introvert.

I patted Fat Xu on the shoulder, and he shrank in fright.

"Go wash your hands," I said, "waiting for you to start again." ”

"You've got to stand in the doorway." The fat man said.

The fat man quickly washed his hands and came out, and Wang Deyin said tentatively: "Do you have to fight?" Why don't I withdraw my winnings? ”

"You're gone, and we're staring at each other?" The fat man drank, "Besides, who is not ours on the spiritual bed, but your brother." ”

I had no choice but to serve it again.

"Just now, what happened?" Wang Deyin trembled his hands and coded cards: "Comrade Feng, do you say that there are really ghosts in this world?" ”

Xu Fatzi 'shhh ”

I knew he was trying to distract himself by playing mahjong and hide the fear in his heart.

"Come, come," I said, "and when we have regained our roots, we will go to rest." ”

After playing twice, several people's mood was slightly better.

I drew this one very early, Huka seven cakes, but until Wang Deyin drew himself, there was no seven cakes.

Unconvinced, I opened the cards behind me and didn't see the seven loaves.

"How many seven loaves do you have in your hands, why don't you beat them?" I complained casually.

Xu Fatzi opened the card: "I still paste seven cakes." ”

Wang Dequan opened the card: "I don't want seven cakes, but I don't have any." ”

Hey, I watched it when Wang Deyin won the card, and there were no seven cakes.

The three of them lifted the mahjong to the middle, ready to shuffle the cards, and I reached out to block: "Wait a minute." ”

"What's wrong?" The three of them were startled.

"Why don't you see the seven loaves?"

As soon as I said a word, Xu Fatzi and Wang Dequan were the first to wake up: "Yes, what about the seven cakes." ”

The four of them turned over all the mahjong tiles together and searched for them, but they didn't see the seven cakes.

"Someone just came?" Fat Xu asked.

"Somebody's coming." I looked down on the ground trying to find the tiles.

The four of them searched for a long time but couldn't find it, and suddenly another gust of wind blew away the white cloth covering Wang Debin's body.

The eyeballs that the fat man had just stuffed in flowed out and stuck to Wang Debin's face.

Flat, black and white eyes glow strangely on the purple skin.

"Ahh Seeing this, Wang Deyin screamed in surprise and ran out regardless of it.

And I clearly saw that Wang Debin's hanging left hand was holding two seven cakes.

The probe took a look, and Wang Debin's right hand also had two seven cakes.

"Corpse?" Fat Xu swallowed his saliva and looked at me and asked.

I patted Wang Dequan, who was already stunned, first: "Brother Wang, go back first." ”

Wang Dequan shrank and walked out indifferently, squeaking without taking a single step on his feet.

At a glance, his pants were wet from the crotch down, and there was still liquid squeezed out of his shoes.

"You're not even afraid of ghosts, but you're still afraid of deceiving corpses?" I asked.

Xu Fatzi barely squeezed out a smile: "Ghosts can't kill directly, but people can." ”

"Isn't this a dead man?"

"Dead people are people, too."

I reached out to take the seven cakes in Wang Debin's hand, but Wang Debin's bones were stiff and he couldn't take them out at all.

"Today is the first seven," Xu Fatzi said, "Be careful." ”

Raising his wrist and glancing at his watch, "It's almost time, nothing will happen." ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of the previous 'clang' came from the room again.

"Grass and mud horses, you're looking for death." In the face of possible ghosts, Xu Fatzi was much bolder.

As soon as I rushed to the kitchen door, the cabinet door suddenly opened automatically, and a cabinet of dishes fell down with a clatter.

After the dishes hit the ground, debris flew everywhere, and Xu Fatzi hurriedly retreated to dodge.

"Didn't you say nothing would happen?" Fat Xu complained to me.

I said, "At most, I lost my temper and didn't show up." No matter who it is, there will always be some resentment when it suddenly dies in middle age. ”

Fat Xu looked at the four seven cakes I was holding in my hand: "Isn't it that you can't take it out?" ”

"I can't break it hard, but his hand is not clenched."

Xu Fatzi looked at Wang Debin, who was lying quietly, suspiciously: "You said that he just wanted to scare us, and he had no other appeals?" ”

"Don't you say that he committed suicide by following the trend," I said, "what can he do to commit suicide?" ”

"Can a person who commits suicide cheat the corpse? There are no black cats and black dogs here. ”

"I don't know." I replied simply.

It was three o'clock on time, and until dawn, nothing strange happened.

Early the next morning, the people of the Wang family came to the funeral shed one after another.

I guess Wang Dequan and Wang Deyin didn't dare to sleep at all last night, but chattered about the situation at night to many people.

So everyone who came to the funeral was saying that Wang Debin died unjustly, and he came back at night to tell the people of the Wang family that he must avenge him.

But wasn't there a person from the Wang family who died in the same way before? Is he wronged or not?

When the people were almost there, Wang Debin's son Wang Yadong finally arrived home and fainted when he saw the tragic situation.

The people next to him hurriedly pinched people and poured ginger soup to wake him up, and several uncles held him up the portrait and sent Wang Debin up the mountain for burial.

Along the way, Wang Yadong passed out several times, and finally after Wang Debin's coffin landed, the people next to him couldn't bear to wake him up anymore and carried him back for people to watch and rest.

After the burial was completed, we still had no clue and were arranged to live in the brigade headquarters of Wangji Village.

This is a two-story building from the fifties and sixties of the last century, the cement carvings in the stairwell, the windows in logs, the rusted steel bars on the windows, and the window panes that are so dusty that they are opaque, all tell its history.

In addition to us, Yin Yuejin, the village's husband, also lives in the brigade headquarters.

In fact, there is no need for a husband now, it's just that Yin Yuejin is alone, has no children and no daughters, and his ears are not very good, so the village is just looking for a way to take care of him.

After we move in, Yin Yuejin will also be responsible for three meals a day, so that he will also have a little extra income.

"Little brother, are you hungry?" Yin Yuejin took snacks that would only be available in the nineties of the last century, or not snacks, which should be some small foods that every household would make during the Chinese New Year at that time, and looked at us flatteringly. The wrinkles on the weather-beaten face deepened a lot because of the smile.

Xu Fatzi is not particular: "I'll taste it." ”

In front of the brigade department is an open square, and there is a square, which is naturally indispensable for square dancing.

After the square dance, it was finally quieter, and the sound of someone knocking on the door was faintly heard outside.

The village cadres will not be there at night, and the villagers will not come in general.

And the knock on the door was unreal, so neither of us went to open the door.

But the voice was very persistent, and it kept coming from the outside in fits and starts.

"Mader." Fat Xu scolded impatiently, got up and went to open the door.

Before he reached the door, from the broken half of the windowpane, Xu Fatzi vaguely saw that someone kept jumping in front of the door.

"Neuropathy." The fat man scolded.

Getting closer, Xu Fatzi saw that the man's left eye hadn't opened, and there was a black and white thing on his face that kept dangling.

Is this Wang Debin?

The fat man was shocked, and walked to the window with bated breath.

Who else is not Wang Debin?

Looking at Wang Debin's appearance, he wanted to jump into the house, but because the threshold blocked him and he couldn't jump up, he kept jumping in front of the door.
