Chen Xue didn't know the situation, but when she saw us running, she also ran.

Li Lin and I panicked, rushed into the village in one go, and slammed open the door of his house.

Uncle Li was still digging the coffin board in the yard, and when he saw us rushing in panting like an ox, he loosened the planer in his hand and stood up.

Just about to ask us, his eyes fell on Chen Xue, his let go of the hand tightened suddenly, and the muscles on his arms bulged like small dirt bags.

For a second or two, I felt that Uncle Li had turned into a beast, and he would pounce on him at any moment, so scared that I forgot to speak.

Click!

The handle of the planer couldn't stand the force, and was pinched off by Uncle Li. Uncle Li realized that he had lost his temper, hurriedly threw away the planer in his hand, and asked me why Li Lin and I came back.

After relieving his breath, Li Lin said that we had seen a ghost and saw Uncle Liu and Grandma Liu on the mass grave.

Chen Xue was cold, a little embarrassed, seeing Li Lin talking nonsense, she took the initiative to introduce herself to Uncle Li without waiting for Li Lin to finish speaking.

After listening to this, Uncle Li asked, "The surname is Chen?" Chen Xue nodded politely. Uncle Li sighed, and then invited us into the house, and said coldly at the door: "Our village is not a good place."

This seems to be said to Chen Xue, and it feels weird.

When we got to the house, Uncle Li asked us what was going on, and Li Lin said it with added vinegar, which frightened Chen Xue, who understood, to the point that her face turned white.

Uncle Li didn't say anything after listening, but just told us not to go to the mass grave if we were fine. Then he went to the kitchen and brought us food, and when he saw my big mouth, he also took a bag of black sawdust and asked me to cover my face.

Strange to say, within a few minutes of covering it, my mouth was swollen.

It's just that I still have half a sweet potato stuffed in my mouth, so Uncle Li is in a hurry to let me go back.

It will be dark, and my family will rely on the mass grave, where I dare to go up the mountain and go home, and hurriedly give Li Lin a look.

Li Lin came over and told his father that he wanted to keep me overnight, but Uncle Li was very cold, leaving only Teacher Chen, and I had to go back.

Chen Xue was about to cry when she saw me, and she also felt that Uncle Li was weird and didn't want to stay overnight, so she offered to send me back.

But Uncle Li hurriedly stood up and said with a cold attitude: "I'll send Ding Ning back, Xiaolin, you make Teacher Chen's bed at home."

Chen Xue saw that Uncle Li's attitude was indifferent and a little embarrassed, so she didn't insist.

On the way back to see me off, Uncle Li didn't say a word, and when he passed by the mass grave, he stopped for a few seconds and took a deep look. He turned around and asked me, "How is your second uncle doing?"

"Hmm!"

Uncle Li said, "That's good!"

I feel that Uncle Li is weird today. But follow him, and feel at ease.

Sending me to the door of the old mansion, I invited Uncle Li to go back and sit for a while, but he refused.

There was just an oil lamp lit in the old house, not very bright, and I almost bumped into the second uncle at the door.

The second uncle leaned against the doorpost, and he could just see the gate from this position. With half a cigarette in his hand, he stared at the direction where Uncle Li left with a heavy face.

I went over, and the second uncle got out of the way.

When I entered the house and put down my school bag, I couldn't wait to tell him what happened today.

He listened quietly, and it wasn't until he mentioned Chen Xue that his brows lowered slightly. I hesitated, but after thinking about it, I still told Uncle Li about seeing Liu Guozhu's father and mother die in the field.

After speaking, I observed the expression of the second uncle, and when I saw that he didn't react, I tried to remind him again: "Second uncle, if Uncle Li is willing to stand up and help our family speak......"

"Eventful!"

The second uncle interrupted me rudely. Somehow, tears welled up in my eyes.

Seeing me crying, the second uncle's eyes softened and wanted to coax me, but I pushed him away and ran back into the house and locked the door.

I didn't answer after knocking on the door a few times, and the second uncle didn't care.

I was sitting on the bed, probably because what was happening these days was causing me a lot of stress.

I remembered my daughter-in-law's words scolding me again, and I was pinched and swollen by her, and when I returned home, my second uncle didn't even let me speak.

Anyway, my heart is messy, and the more I want to cry, the sadder I become.

But just as I was crying to tears, a white light suddenly flashed in the room. I rubbed my eyes and saw a blurry white shadow standing in the doorway.

The white shadow was very vague, like a mist, but I still recognized it at a glance, she was the woman who pinched my mouth in my dream.

Although I knew that she was my daughter-in-law, I suddenly appeared in front of me, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to cry, sobbing and shrinking into the corner, looking at her with tears in my eyes.

In the dream, she was very fierce, and she didn't rest when she scolded me, but now she didn't say a word, quietly walked to the bedside, and reached out to take my hand.

I quickly tucked my hand under my thigh and hidden, and she slumped. After a few seconds, she came to pull my feet again, and I quickly retracted my feet, and the whole person shrank into a small ball, trying to call the second uncle, but my neck was stiff and I couldn't open my mouth.

Seeing that I flinched, she didn't force her, and after waiting for a while, her hand slowly stretched out towards me. At this time, my body had shrunk to the limit, and I had to close my eyes in despair.

Her hand landed on my knee, it was icy and not a little warm.

I didn't know what she was going to do, and I didn't dare ask. After a while, I felt that she didn't mean to hurt me, so I secretly opened my eyes to look at her.

By this time she was already sitting on the bed, her hands rubbing against my knees, as if to comfort me.

Her hands were cold, but they were comfortable to the touch, and I slowly relaxed when I understood her intentions. This relaxation, the sleepiness can not be stopped, and I fell asleep unconsciously, and I slept very soundly, and I didn't have a dream.

When I woke up the next day, my daughter-in-law was gone, probably back in the necklace.

When I got up and saw the second uncle, I ignored him angrily. It just so happened that Li Lin came to ask me if I wanted to go back to school, so I didn't need to be sent by an adult if I went together.

A lot of things have happened recently, and I don't have the heart to study when I go to school, and the head teacher told me to go back when my mouth is good, and he doesn't know when it's good. After thinking about it, I told Li Lin that I couldn't go.

He jumped up with joy when he heard this, he didn't plan to go to school, he just wanted to pick me up and send Chen Xue when he came to my house.

Qingshui Village, Chenjia Village and our village have a primary school, in order to take care of them, the school is relatively partial, in fact, it has been out of Niuxin Village, and it takes more than an hour to go back and forth.

When passing by the mass grave, Chen Xue remembered what happened last night and asked if what we said was true.

My mouth is good enough to interject. Children love to behave, Li Lin and I rushed to say, before I arrived at school, I added fuel and vinegar to tell all the things that happened in the village these days.

Chen Xue was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time, she was very curious about my grandfather, but unfortunately I said everything I knew, so I could only break it and tell what happened thirty years ago.

When Li Lin saw me mention the incident thirty years ago, he anxiously pulled me aside and said, "My father said, we can't tell people outside about that matter!" ”

The second uncle never said such a thing to me, so I didn't care and said, "What are you afraid of, we don't know anything anyway." ”

Chen Xue muttered when she saw us next to her, and she didn't ask when she came back.

When I arrived at the school, the old principal knew us and praised me. was originally going home to catch breakfast, but he volunteered to help Chen Xue clean up the dormitory.

In order to reward us, Chen Xue also made us noodles at noon.

While we were eating, Chen Xue was next to us and talked to us about the benefits of reading, but Li Lin and I couldn't listen. I accidentally leaked my mouth and told her that we were not going back to school this week.

Seeing that our children could not be taught, Chen Xue shook her head helplessly, and asked us to go to the school to find her when we were free during the day these days, and she would help us make up for the lessons.

Li Lin couldn't wait to get in touch with Chen Xue, so he promised to come down and pulled me up by the way.

On the way back, I was still thinking about the red coffin. Li Lin saw that I was worried, and said very righteously that he would help me.

I didn't go back in the afternoon, I had dinner at Li Lin's house, and I slipped out with an excuse.

When he went outside, Li Lin said: "If you don't go down the mountain, I don't know a lot of things, Liu Guozhu hasn't gone out since he took your wife's house, and the people of the Liu family are all gathered at his house, and they don't know what to do all day long." ”

I thought about it for a while, Li Lin is strong, and he is just a child, and it is impossible for us to steal the red coffin.

If we want to get the red coffin back, we can only find evidence and ask my father or second uncle to come forward when the time comes.

The two squatted on the side of the road and played in the mud, and when it got dark, they went straight to Liu Guozhu's house.

Liu Guozhu's door was closed, and there was the sound of Mr. Big chanting inside. Li Lin and I quietly climbed to the fence, and at this position, the probe could just see the entire courtyard.

I peeked at it, and suddenly shuddered, only to see eight coffins placed side by side in the courtyard of Liu Guozhu's house, and the red coffin of my daughter-in-law was in the middle.

An offering table was set up in front of the coffin, and a big man with white hair was chanting. Including Liu Guozhu, the people over the age of 30 of the Liu family knelt around the coffin twice, all with their heads bowed and motionless, and the scene was a little weird.

I asked Li Lin in a whisper: "Liu Guozhu's family is not just a dead father, how can there be so many coffins." There aren't so many people in his family who died! ”

Li Lin asked me with some surprise, "You don't know?" ”

"Huh?"

After my grandfather's accident, I never went to the village, and I went to other villages with my second uncle.

Li Lin said: "A few days ago, Liu Guozhu dug up seven corpses from rotten paddy fields. When the mud is washed with water, the person who is exposed seems to be asleep. There is also the big gentleman who recites the scriptures, my father said that this old man has some ability, and he serves the rich outside, and Liu Guozhu spent a lot of money to invite people here. ”

I don't care if Mr. Big is powerful or not, but I don't believe that the body was dug up in the field.

Seeing that I didn't believe it, Li Lin moved his father out and said, "The seven coffins were all beaten by my father, and he came to wash the corpses, and he told me these things." And those seven bodies were all dug up from your field. You said that this Liu Guozhu was unlucky enough, he spent 100,000 yuan in vain, and as a result, he had to do funerals for people, and now even his father and mother have been put in. ”

I don't think Liu Guozhu is unlucky, and he won't spend 100,000 yuan to buy a rotten field.

If what Li Lin said is true, then he probably bought the land for the sake of the seven corpses.

We lay on the wall for more than an hour, and the more than 30 members of the Liu family did not move.

Li Lin was worried that his father was looking for him, so he went back at ten o'clock, and touched it again after a while.

Then he stayed up until midnight, when the old gentleman who was chanting the scriptures stopped, got up and said okay, and then the Liu family stood up on their knees, moved their hands and feet, and opened all seven coffins.

Liu Guozhu asked worriedly: "Mr. Zhang, are you sure there is no problem?" ”

The gray-haired gentleman said: "It's decided, as long as you don't open the red coffin, there will be no problem, remember, send the red coffin back as soon as possible after finishing the work, there is no little baby of the Ding family, I'm afraid something big will happen." ”

Liu Guozhu took a wad of money and stuffed it to Mr. Zhang. Seeing Liu Guozhu's disapproving appearance, Mr. Zhang stopped talking, and finally took the money and went out overnight.

Before Mr. Zhang left, there was a coughing sound in Liujiatang's house.

Immediately, someone walked out with a trembling old man.

Old lady Liu!

I almost screamed, hasn't this old guy been dead for a few years?
