At this time, I was simply unkempt.

Dressed in very dirty clothes, his hair is scattered and draped behind his head, his small face is sallow, and there are very thick dark circles under his eyes, just like a wandering beggar.

I shook my head speechlessly, turned around and sat down.

"Kid, have you been to that old house?" As I sat down, Uncle Mai asked me tentatively.

"Hmm." I hummed again.

"That'...... Do you recognize who the dead man is? "Listen to me, Uncle Mai asked me very carefully.

"Dead Man...... What dead people? "When I heard that, I looked at him.

"It's been hanging on the beams of your old house for more than ten years, haven't you seen it?" Listening to my question, Uncle Mai said.

"The beams of the house hang the dead...... It's been more than 10 years...... Where is it? When I heard this, I let out an alarm.

What a dead man.

Where did the dead man come from, it's been more than ten years?

"On the beams of your old house, the one under the beams of the main house, it has appeared since your family was killed, why, no one has told you, but since you have gone to the old house, you should be able to see it?" As I screamed in surprise, Uncle Mai said.

"Huh?" I'm still puzzled.

Where are there any dead people, think I have come back more than once for so many years, and I have not found them.

"Then you really didn't see it."

Uncle Mai Zi looked at me and shook his head, and said with an incredible expression: "No, as soon as you enter the main gate, you will look at it, and you should be able to see it even if you don't enter the house." ”

"This ......"

I looked at Uncle Mai Zi and asked very hesitantly, "Have you seen Uncle Mai Zi, have you been to my old house?" ”

"I saw it, the whole village can see it, and now I'm so scared that I don't dare to pass through the door of your house, and I walk around, and that piece of land is a wasteland!" Uncle Mai Zi heard this.

"Pass by my door......" I looked at Uncle Mai.

What are you talking about?

I think the bean mill is far away from the village, and there is a slippery avenue behind it, who is going around my yard and what are you doing?

"Yes, I don't dare to leave, I think of the disgust that came out of your family affairs at the beginning, and no one can say clearly, they all say that the yellow-skinned bean pestle retaliates, but who saw it?"

Listening to my chatter, Uncle Mai Zi said: "It's not that old yellow man's words, but it's also a loss to him, find you a place to go, otherwise in terms of the situation at the time, no one really dares to take you in, hey, Uncle Mai, I don't dare!" ”

"No, Uncle Mai, why don't I understand what you say, then who has nothing to do with the bean mill, it is originally abandoned land?" Listening to Uncle Mai's chatter, I couldn't hold back and asked.

"What bean mill, girl, dare to love this half a day, our two have gone to talk about two errands, I'm talking about the old house before your family, the one where your family lived before you were born." Listening to my question that I couldn't hold back any longer, Uncle Mai said.

"Ah...... Where is the old house before I was born, and which one is? When I heard that, I screamed.

"How...... Don't you know, it's the one on the right hand side of the crossroads, the yard is full of barren grass, and it's about to collapse. Uncle Mai said.

"This ...... Where do I know. "When I screamed, I got up and was about to run out.

"Oh, little red willow girl, what are you doing, what's the hurry, wait for dinner, Uncle Maizi will accompany you, see how scared you again!" Uncle Mai grabbed me.

"Oh!" I sat down with a sigh of relief.

I still have a home, but I don't even know it.

"Hey, that's original, it doesn't belong to your house, it's Lao Guan's family, your grandfather's family was poor and couldn't afford to build a house, so he has been borrowing to live in someone's house."

As I sat down, Uncle Mai said, "That old man is a good man, a clean body, and one and a half of the three main houses are set aside for you to live in." ”

"I've been borrowing for decades, Ao, your father grew up in that house, and later married your mother, and your father felt inconvenient, so he went to the team to feed the pigs and moved to the bean mill."

"And after a few years of stopping, after something happened to your family, the old moment disappeared, and then someone found that someone hanged himself under the main beam of his house."

"Is that the old juncture?" When I heard this, I asked.

"No, no, no, the old juncture has never been seen, and it is another person I don't know."

Uncle Mai shook his head when he heard this: "This mystery, it's here." ”

"At that time, the whole village was frightened, and your family was scared for a long time, and this is another hanged person, more or less, it has something to do with your family."

"Girl, you said, after the accident in your family, the old man disappeared inexplicably, and then his family hanged people, it is inevitable that he will not recognize people and think about your house, isn't it?"

"In this way, no one dared to step forward to move the dead man, and after hanging for three days, Shi Da's stomach couldn't hold back, so he came forward to put the dead man down, and a poplar coffin was parked at the entrance of the village."

"Big belly...... Village Chief Shi? When I heard this, I asked.

"That's right, it's Village Chief Shi, but he's stupid, he was stupid by that dead man, otherwise how can he say that the dead man is bad and no one dares to move."

Listening to my question, Uncle Mai Zi continued: "On the night when the dead man stopped at the entrance of the village, the village chief said that someone was touching him behind his back, and Zhang grabbed and shouted that there was a pair of hands that wanted to pinch the back of his neck, and the person kept turning in circles, and kept turning and foaming at the ground, stupid. ”

"The stupid guy doesn't know anything, like a wooden man, he can't cry or laugh, where is it, and now he is still alive, and his daughter-in-law is waiting."

"Ah...... And then, you hung the dead man back until now? ”

When I heard this, I was extremely surprised and asked, "Also, didn't you come to see that demon skin, didn't he say what to do?" ”

"A demon skin?" Uncle Maizi looked at me.

"Ao, it's Grandpa Huang." I said.

"Ao, how is it a demon skin...... Girl, he? Uncle Mai asked me with a glare.

I bowed my head and said nothing, then smiled and said it was okay.

"Oh, he didn't show up, I didn't see him go, and then the dead man hung back, I don't know, anyway, the next morning, the dead man went to the hanging house again, until more than a month later, the dead man's forehead, inexplicably appeared runes, two small strips of yellow paper, with red charms painted on them, crossed and pasted on the door of the dead man's head."

"Who posted it, I don't know, anyway, since then, no one dares to touch that damn thing, and gradually it is taboo, and no one has left there, that intersection has long been overgrown with rotten grass!"

"This ...... Isn't that a dry corpse? When I heard this, I asked.

"I guess so, okay, let's not talk about dead people, girl, wash your face, and eat later." As I asked, Uncle Mai guided me to the outhouse to wash my face, and I combed my unkempt hair and served it to dinner.

Two meat and two vegetables, with a pot of hot soup outside, Uncle Mai and his wife tightly sandwiched vegetables for me, looking at me with red circles in my eyes, and tears flowed straight up.

"I think I was the closest to your mother, that was a good person, with a good temper, I didn't have anything to say, I knew how to work, hey, as the saying goes, good people don't live long, and I really hit that, woo woo...... Qin'e, she died so miserably! As the red-eyed eyes looked at me weeping, Aunt Mai said.

"Okay, say that sad thing, what a good person doesn't live long, it's a matter of hurrying to catch up, if you want me to say, back then, Brother Cao's family was Cao Jide, who couldn't stand it, and the old man was weird, he was beating people to death outside all the year round, and he was in trouble with unclean things, which made the family bad." Uncle Mai interrupted the crying Aunt Mai.

As soon as I heard Aunt Mai mention my mother, I looked at her and couldn't help but ask: "That auntie, how did my mother marry my father back then, and when she married my father, did she look good?" ”

"It's good-looking, it's good-looking, it's like a flower, at that time, everyone in this village was greedy, and they all swallowed and foamed, saying that your grandfather would do such a good thing in his life, and get back a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law for his grandson." When Aunt Mai heard this, she said.

"Eh, my mother was helped by my grandfather?" When I heard this, I screamed.

"Yes, it was your grandfather who brought it back, I asked your mother, she said that her family fled the famine, met your grandfather on the road, in order to stutter to survive, half a bag of corn ballast, your grandmother sold your mother, and then your grandfather brought it back to be a grandson's daughter-in-law." Listening to me yell, Aunt Mai said.

"Half a bag of corn ballast?" I smiled wryly......
