Ran Xuemei nodded and said yes, went back to the house to look at Chen Su, who was still drunk and sleeping, helped Chen Su cover the quilt that he kicked open, and took me towards the village chief's house.

I haven't paid much attention to the time, but now I find out that it's already evening, the two of us are walking one after the other, I looked at Ran Xuemei's back, and suddenly felt that this woman is so difficult and so strong, when the man escapes everything and gets himself drunk, she is still fighting to face everything, she will cry, but never give up.

When I arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief's family was having dinner, and they thought that the village chief was an old man in his fifties and sixties, but it turned out to be a young man in his early thirties.

Ran Xuemei asked the village chief: "What about Second Uncle Li, didn't he eat with you?" ”

The village chief's wife said: "Don't mention him, let's have a meal of Ansheng, this Li Er is really lazy and greedy, he can't do anything, he can't eat enough, he deserves to be a bachelor for a lifetime."

I don't know if he hasn't eaten for hundreds of years, his throat and eyes seem to be bottomless, so he almost didn't swallow all our plates into his stomach, if he eats us like this again, my family will have to eat poor. ”

When the village chief saw his wife complaining, he looked at him vigorously, and the village chief's wife also saw the village chief's eyes, but her tone did not improve at all, and she glared back at the village chief and said:

"What's wrong, am I wrong? Look at the way he hasn't eaten, the raw chicken thighs haven't been stewed yet, he can see the raw egg skin fall to the ground, and he has to go over and smell the raw egg skin thrown on the ground, and he doesn't feel fishy, if I'm not in the kitchen, I guess he can lick it.

You also said that he used to be a good person, if it weren't for the bad family conditions, he wouldn't have been able to marry a daughter-in-law, how good would it be? I don't even look like a person. ”

The village chief said: "Don't you say a few words, isn't it just to eat your two mouthfuls of things, and our family is not short of those two mouthfuls of things, can you really eat your pot out?" He is a villager, I am the village head, he is still a lonely old man with no children and no daughters, who is he looking for if he has something to look for? Don't just slip out of the way, but pay attention to the influence, you are dragging your feet so much, how can I improve in the future?

Besides, he wasn't like that before, he was a good hand at the crops, and I learned how to drive a donkey cart with him when I was a kid. Who knows how this is now? ”

The village chief said things that affected his progress, and although the village chief's wife was still very unconvinced, it could be regarded as giving the village chief face, so she snorted and stopped talking.

The village chief's wife didn't say anything, and Ran Xuemei opened her mouth to ask: "When did Second Uncle Li leave, will he come back to you tonight?" ”

The village chief said: "It's really hard to say, he got up this morning and said that he wanted to go to his daughter-in-law's grave, and I helped him buy some paper money offerings and the like, so he went to the cemetery by himself, and he didn't come back at noon."

I came to live in my house because I was suspicious, and I was always worried that his daughter-in-law, who had died before, would come back to him, maybe after burning the paper, he felt that his daughter-in-law would not harm him anymore and went home. Do you have something to do with him? ”

Ran Xuemei glanced at me, as if asking me what to say about this.

In order to find the old bachelor as soon as possible, I could only tell the truth, and said: "Village Chief, I won't tell you, we came to your side to ask you about Second Uncle Li, because in the afternoon, someone knocked on our door, yin and yang, saying that he was Second Uncle Li, we didn't dare to open the door for him, so he threw a lot of long worms into our yard, so I wanted to come over and ask, Second Uncle Li has been in the past few days, in addition to being afraid, is there anything wrong?" ”

When the village chief's wife heard this, she couldn't hold back anymore and said, "You shouldn't ask him what's wrong, shouldn't you ask him what's wrong?" When he went to your house, it was already good to know that he was Li Er, and in the past few days in our house, when did he know who he was?

He didn't come back today, and if he did, we'd all have to contact the psychiatric hospital to check him out and see if there was something wrong with his brain. If he is diagnosed with mental illness, he should be taken away by the psychiatric hospital so that he will not be harmed in the village. ”

The village chief glared at his daughter-in-law and said, "If you don't say a few words, you can suffocate you?" ”

The village chief's wife put down the chopsticks with a snap, stood up and said: "Okay, don't delay your progress, the cats and dogs in this village are more important than me, if that Li Er comes back tonight, you will go to the bed with him, don't enter my house."

If he wants to eat anything, you can buy it for him on the street, and I won't serve him. He's not my mom or dad, and I don't owe him. ”

With that, the village chief's wife turned around and went to the next room, and closed the door and locked it, it seemed that she was planning to sleep in a separate room with the village chief tonight.

Because we came to inquire about the old bachelor, the village chief and his family had a conflict, and Ran Xuemei and I were embarrassed for a while and didn't know where to stand, but this old bachelor is very important to find Brother Yao, so I have to ask cheekily.

The village chief looked at me a few times and said, "This young man, look at your face, who are you, I don't seem to have seen you much, have you been going to school outside?" ”

Ran Xuemei hurriedly said: "He is not from our village, he is the child of one of my relatives, he came to live in our house for a few days, he said that Second Uncle Li knocked on the door, knocked on our door." ”

The village chief frowned and said, "Second Uncle Li is really not quite right this time, but if you want to say that he threw long worms into your house, I don't think it is very likely, are you sure that it is Second Uncle Li who threw long worms into your house?" Don't be a kid who mischievously catches a long worm and deliberately scares people, right?

If it's really Second Uncle Li, it's a security problem in the village, and I have to take measures. ”

At this time, Ran Xuemei hesitated and said: "When he knocked on the door, I was upset about something else, and he never said who he was, so I didn't open the door for him in time. ”

The village chief said: "So, you didn't see his people, and although he said that he was Second Uncle Li, his voice didn't look like Second Uncle Li's, did it?" ”

When the village chief asked, Ran Xuemei and I were stunned, could it really be that we were careless, and the one who knocked on the door and released the snake at that time was not an old bachelor at all?

Ran Xuemei thought for a moment and said: "The voice is still very similar to his, but the tone of the speech is not very right, and I can't learn it, anyway, if you hear it, you must know that it is Second Uncle Li speaking, but he deliberately twists it, as if he can't say anything." ”

The village chief frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and at this time, the gate outside creaked, as if someone had entered the courtyard.

The village chief shouted outside, "Who? ”

"I, didn't I tell you to wait for me to come back and eat? Why did you eat it first? I asked you to prepare the chicken for my daughter-in-law, and I will take it to my daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law said, I must eat chicken tonight, and if I can't eat chicken, I will eat your brains. ”

Hearing this voice, the faces of the three of us changed, this yin and yang weird, wasn't it Second Uncle Li who knocked on the door at the door of Ran Xuemei's house at that time? That's what I'm looking for.

While he was talking, I quickly called on the spiritual power in my body to perceive it, because he was talking for a long time this time, and he had already entered the courtyard and was walking towards the house, getting closer and closer to me, and the breath clearly appeared in my consciousness.

However, although I clearly perceived him, it was only a black mist that was fluttering all the time, and it did not show a clear image and resentment like that ghost child.

After Second Uncle Li's words were finished, the black qi disappeared, and it seemed that that thing only appeared when he manipulated Second Uncle Li to speak.

"I've cleaned up the chickens for you, and I'll keep them in the yard, you can take them yourself." As he spoke, the village chief stood up and greeted him, as if he didn't want Second Uncle Li to come into the house.

But Second Uncle Li's footsteps were faster than the village chief, and when the village chief arrived at the door of the house, Second Uncle Li had already pushed the door open, and threw two killed chickens in, and said: "I told you clearly, if you want blood, if you want blood, you still put the blood clean for me, how can I use it?" ”
