Li Chenfeng saw that the cat was already hungry, thinking that it might smell the breath of the dead in the mourning hall, and wanted to go in and eat the corpse to satisfy its hunger.

But how could this make it succeed, so he picked up the small pebbles on the ground and threw it, although this wild cat was thin, but its body was very flexible, it easily avoided the stones thrown by Li Chenfeng, and it was not frightened at all, and it had no intention of leaving.

Li Chenfeng was a little helpless for a while, what should I do if I can't catch it and scare it away? If it rushes into the mourning hall by surprise, I don't know how much commotion it will cause.

At this time, Li Chenfeng glanced towards the mourning hall, and noticed that there was only one way to enter this house, so he retreated to the door, thinking that as long as he guarded this door, even if it grew wings, it would not want to enter.

At this time, Erniu, who was sleeping next to him, suddenly got up, as if he wanted to pee, and saw Li Chenfeng nervously blocking the door of the mourning hall, and he was a little puzzled for a while.

"Brother Li, what are you doing?"

Li Chenfeng didn't speak, just stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the loquat tree, and Er Niu quickly noticed the wild cat as well.

However, Er Niu saw that the cat's behavior was very different from Li Chenfeng's, he was not as vigilant as Li Chenfeng, but walked directly towards the cat.

The strange thing is that the wild cat is not afraid of people at this time, and the second cow does not retreat when it approaches him, and finally is hugged by the second cow.

At this time, Li Chenfeng heard Erniu say: "It's Hei San, and it's a cat raised by the fourth uncle before." ”

Li Chenfeng suddenly relaxed his vigilance, thinking that since it was the fourth uncle's cat, it should not have come to eat the dead rou, after all, the cat is spiritual, and it is unlikely to attack its owner.

"I saw it sneaking around there, and I thought it was going to go into the mourning hall to make trouble."

"No, Hei San is very obedient, he knows that the fourth uncle is gone, and he also knows that he can't go in there."

Li Chenfeng asked, "Then what is he doing here?" ”

"Maybe I'm hungry and want something to eat."

Erniu put the cat down and wanted to go to the kitchen to get him some food, but since there was no meat in the funeral banquet, he took some leftover tofu over.

He put a small bowl of tofu in front of Hei San, but he didn't eat a bite, turned around and walked under the loquat tree, digging something on the ground with his front paws.

Li Chenfeng and Er Niu were a little curious, and when they walked over to look, a red thing was exposed in a small dirt pit thrown by Hei San.

The two of them also hurriedly helped to dig the soil, and finally dug out a wooden box with red paint, the two of them, you look at me, I look at you, they are a little unclear.

There was a small copper lock hanging on the wooden box, but it was already rusted, and Erniu went to find a knife and easily pried it open.

The box contained two things, a pair of rusty scissors and a yellowed cloth.

The two carefully unfolded the cloth, and saw that a lot of words were written on it with charcoal, and after reading it carefully, Li Chenfeng found that this was actually a suicide note, signed by the fourth uncle.

He wrote in his suicide note that after he died, he hoped that the people in the village would bury him with a person, as for who that person was, the suicide note did not state, but the specific location of the tomb was indicated, and the fifth grave was counted west of the crooked neck tree at the east end of the village.

The suicide note also emphasized that when the time comes, the coffin in the tomb must be dug up, and then his body and the scissors will be put in it, and then sealed and buried.

Li Chenfeng looked at the state of the suicide note, and felt that it did not look like something that had been written recently, and according to the yellowed state of the cloth and the blurring of the handwriting, it could be seen that this thing should have been buried under the loquat tree for a long time. But the fourth uncle hanged himself only a few days ago, why did he write a suicide note so early?

At this time, Li Chenfeng had a conjecture, maybe the third uncle had thought about suicide a long time ago when he wrote this suicide note, and later it may have been because of the fear of death or other reasons that he did not dare to commit suicide or did not make up his mind. Recently, something special had spurred him on, and he finally made up his mind, so he committed suicide.

Two days ago, the people in the village had already arranged the funeral of the fourth uncle, and the coffin of the fourth uncle and the acupuncture points for the burial had been selected.

Early the next morning, Li Chenfeng and Er Niu made the suicide note of the fourth uncle public to the villagers and asked everyone's opinions.

Most people believe that the funeral should still be carried out according to the original arrangement, because the expenses of this funeral, including the money for the coffin for the fourth uncle and the money for the funeral banquet, are all shared equally by the villagers, and if it is not carried out according to the original plan, it will cause a lot of waste.

Besides, someone went to see the tomb mentioned in the fourth uncle's suicide note and found that it was just a nameless tomb without a tombstone, and no one knew who was buried in it, or even when the tomb was built.

Even so, there were still some people in the village who expressed respect for the will of the fourth uncle and agreed to the joint burial.

Seeing that the time was about to reach noon, and the time for the burial was about to come, a village woman said: "The joint burial of people is a matter of two people, and my uncle has never begged her mother-in-law in her life, so don't follow others to learn, just be honest and settle into the ground." ”

Although her words were a little rough, Li Chenfeng felt that it made sense, if it wasn't for the husband and wife, the joint burial really didn't make much sense, and he had to put a pair of scissors into the coffin, which was even more confusing.

It is precisely because of this sentence of the village woman that the remarks of the village people began to show a one-sided trend, and just when everyone decided to bury them according to the original plan, an old man in his seventies suddenly came out of the crowd, he was the oldest group of people in the village, and he was also the village chief of Huangshu Village, and he was a friend of the fourth uncle before his death.

At this time, I only heard the old village chief say: "The fourth uncle who said has never begged his mother-in-law?" I tell you, the grave he spoke of was buried in his mother-in-law. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people in the village showed extremely shocked looks.

"Uncle, he begged his mother-in-law? How come we've never met? ”

At this time, the old village chief sighed and said: "It was more than fifty years ago, when the fourth uncle got married, you are older, the egg yolk on the hook has not dried yet, where can I see her mother-in-law." ”

So, the old village chief told an old thing in the village back then.
