I was hurt by the stinging pain in my tail vertebrae, but before I could catch my breath, I suddenly saw that the little girl who was standing in the yard had come up to me at some point, and my head happened to be resting at her feet.

When I looked up, I was almost scared out, because I saw that the bow she wore around her waist was not a belt at all, but an umbilical cord with blood still on it, which looked viscous at this time, and there were drops of blood hanging on it, which made people both frightened and disgusting.

I hurriedly rolled on the spot, hid to the side, and as soon as I sat up, I couldn't hold back and vomited.

The little girl seemed very happy to see my scared appearance, looked down at me with a smile and said, "Brother Chen Yang, why are you running?" Come and play ball with Jiawen......"

"Play with your grandmother's legs, you look like this, who dares to play with you with the ball?" I wanted to cry without tears, and I scolded in my heart while spitting.

The little girl seemed to be impatient, and she didn't care if I agreed or not, she raised the ball in her hand and was about to throw it at me, I subconsciously got up and was ready to dodge, but at this moment, a voice sounded at the gate, "Three masters, my scissors and kitchen knives are not fast at home, please help me sharpen them......"

This sudden sound made the little girl look at the door in some confusion, and the ball in her hand was not thrown for a while.

I'm a little strange, who would come to this old house at this time? And I knew that I was coming in this way, and it was strange that the door creaked open.

Then a middle-aged man covered in mud walked in, but strangely, he didn't seem to be afraid of the black shadow standing at the door, and looked straight at the place where the little girl and I were, and then said with a smile, "Hehe, you are Jiawen, where is your grandfather?" I asked him to sharpen the scissors kitchen knife......"

After the little girl saw the middle-aged man, she took two steps back vigilantly, approached me and said to me, "Brother Chen Yang, I don't like this person......"

I was a little happy when I heard this, and thought that I might be able to provoke them, and when they made a fuss, I could take the opportunity to escape.

The middle-aged man didn't get angry when he heard Jiawen's words, he took out a lighter and lit it with a "click", the little girl was so frightened by his actions that she hurriedly took a few steps back, her mouth suddenly cracked to the size of a palm, and she roared at the middle-aged man.

The firelight quickly illuminated the surroundings, and I could see the man's face clearly, this person I knew, and he was also from our village, I called him Uncle Zhuzi, but he went into the city a few years ago and opened an early shop, it is said that the business is okay, and he even bought a house in the city after a few years, and he rarely comes back these years.

Why did he go to Old Man Liu's house in the middle of the night to sharpen kitchen knives? Although his heart was strange, but when he saw a living person, his original fear eased a lot, and he hurriedly spoke.

"Uncle Pillar......"

Before I finished speaking, I saw Uncle Zhu hurriedly put his finger to his lips and motioned me not to speak yet, so I had to close my mouth and look at Uncle Zhu with curiosity what he was going to do.

"Hehe, Jiawen, don't be afraid, come, uncle will give you something delicious!" As he spoke, Uncle Zhu took out a bloody fleshy bone from his pocket and threw it to the little girl.

I don't know what kind of meat this is, Jiawen saw it and grabbed it in her hand, and then she didn't care about us, and gnawed on it by herself.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhu hurriedly walked towards the hall, and before leaving, he waved at me and motioned for me to hurry up.

The two of them pushed open the door of the hall without saying a word, and after Uncle Zhu lit a handful of incense, he put a broken kitchen knife in his hand on the table, and then said with a smile, "Third uncle, this knife is not fast, please help me sharpen it......"

After he finished speaking, he didn't care whether the old man agreed or not, he took out a large handful of meat and bones from his pocket and scattered them in all corners of the hall, and then asked me to pick up the kitchen knife that Old Man Liu had sharpened and go to the door.

I didn't dare to come out, grabbed the kitchen knife and scissors and followed, unexpectedly, this time following Uncle Zhuzi, the black shadow who was originally standing at the door didn't stop us, and we escaped smoothly.

After running forward for a while, I hurriedly said to Uncle Zhuzi, "Uncle, why did you go to that old house?" ”

"Your Uncle Ge asked me to go in and save you!" Uncle Zhu replied lightly.

"Help me? Didn't Uncle Ge tell me to stay in the house all the time and not come out? "I was full of doubts.

"Your Uncle Ge figured out that the two men in the house wanted to harm you, so I rushed over to save you."

I still had some doubts when I heard this, but I didn't get too entangled, and then said, "Uncle Zhuzi, didn't you go into the city?" Why are you free to come back today? And got muddy ......."

"Hehe, come back and sharpen the knife, the kitchen knife sold now, the amount is not enough, I am not used to it, I still like to use this thick steel plate to make it, the steel fire is good...... As for the mud on my body, it was your Uncle Ge who pasted it for me, and I don't know what it is for......"

As soon as I heard this, I panicked, thinking that if his customer knew that Uncle Zhuzi's knife for chopping meat was sharpened by a ghost, I am afraid that he would be able to vomit out his stomach, right?

"Okay, okay, Yangwa, let's go back first if there's anything, it's still a little unsafe outside......"

I thought to myself that this is the same reason, so I don't ask anything anymore, anyway, it's almost dawn now, and when Old Man Ge gets up, I'll just ask.

The two of us soon came to the gate of my house, which was closed at this time, and there was a yellow talisman pasted on the edge of the door, which should have been used by Old Man Ge to prevent his wife.

"Oh, Yangwa, hurry up and take off that talisman, your Uncle Ge said, this talisman can't see the sun, otherwise it won't be used, I have mud all over my hands, I'm afraid it will get dirty......"

The talisman is broken when it is illuminated by the sun? I haven't heard of this, but I've heard my grandparents talk about it, Old Man Ge's talisman has to be sold for dozens of yuan, which is very expensive, seeing that now the sky has faintly lit up a trace of white light, the old woman should not come, but if this talisman is really damaged, it will be a pity, so he said to Uncle Zhuzi, "Okay, I'll take it off, it's a pity to waste dozens of dollars!" ”

Uncle Zhu laughed a few times dryly, and didn't speak, just motioned for me to quickly take off the talisman.

I stepped forward and jumped lightly, tore off the talisman and kicked it in my pocket, then pushed open the door and invited Uncle Zhu to go in together.

It was still early, my grandparents were still sleeping, I didn't bother them, I invited Uncle Zhu to sit in the hall, and then politely said to him, "Uncle Zhuzi, you sit down for a while, I'll give you a whole cup of tea!" ”

"Okay, this midnight is covered in mud, it's really cold, and the whole sip of tea is good to warm up!" Uncle Zhu said with a smile.

"Then uncle, sit down for a while, I'll boil water!" I said and walked to the door.

When I was about to walk to the door, Uncle Zhu stopped me again and said, "Yangwa, you sharpened the knife to borrow me for use?" This mud is weird and uncomfortable on the body, scrape it off......"

"Uncle, why don't you go to the well and wash it? This knife is very fast, and if it is scratched, it will be troublesome......" I quickly persuaded.

"It's out of the way, it's very cold now, clean it up with a knife first, and then wash it when the sun comes out!" Uncle Zhu said indifferently.

"Okay, then be careful, I'll boil the water......" After saying that, I walked towards the stove, ready to boil the water.

After a while, there was a sound of "brush, brush, brush" in the hall, just like killing a pig to shave a pig during the New Year, and Uncle Zhu still made an intoxicated voice from time to time, "Ah, finally comfortable......"

I was amused when I heard it, this Uncle Zhuzi, a person who seems to be honest, can still make such a ecstatic sound.

About ten minutes later, I carried the kettle into the hall, but I was startled by the scene in front of me, only to see Uncle Zhu even stripped off his clothes, naked, holding a knife and carefully scraping a small piece of sludge left on his chest.

In other places, it was scraped blood-red, as if rubbing with a bath towel, the force was too strong, and traces of blood began to emerge in many places.

I hurriedly asked, "Uncle, doesn't it hurt if you shave so hard?" ”

"Hey, your uncle has rough skin and thick meat, this strength is a little lighter, it's not in the way, it's not in the way......" Uncle Zhu said to me with an intoxicated face, it looked really comfortable, so I didn't say anything more, and hurriedly took the tea leaves and started making tea.

After I finished making tea, Uncle Zhu also cleaned up the mud on his upper body, his whole body was red, and there was a lot of blood in some places, he looked like a bloody man, very terrifying.

I couldn't help swallowing my saliva, and asked in a wooden voice, "Uncle, don't you worry?" Why don't you go to the health center? ”

Uncle Zhu didn't care, and while getting dressed, he said, "It's okay, just sleep, just get up......" After getting dressed, Uncle Zhu pointed to the mud accumulated on the ground and said to me, "Yangwa, take your broom and dustpan to use, and make your house so dirty, I'm really embarrassed......

"Uncle, don't worry, don't worry, you can quickly drink tea to warm up, I'll clean up the mud in a while......" I said and put the brewed tea on the small stool beside him.

But Uncle Zhu didn't look at the tea I handed over, and stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go first, I haven't slept all night, my body can't stand it, go back to my hometown to sleep for a while, and come back tomorrow when it's dawn......"

I was a little embarrassed when I heard it, what's the matter with Uncle Zhuzi, the tea is brewed, and he has to leave without taking a sip, it's really strange.

But I didn't know what to say, and when I saw that he insisted on leaving, I sent him to the door, and after a few words, I found a broom and a dustpan, ready to clean up the mud scraped off Uncle Zhuzi's body.

I don't know what that mud was, but as soon as I got closer, I smelled a big fishy smell, and it was so choking that if it weren't for the contents of my stomach that I had vomited in the old house, I was afraid I would have to vomit again.

I hurriedly took a sip of strong tea to suppress the nausea, and then covered my nose with my clothes to clean up the mud.

It was about nine o'clock in the morning, I was woken up by a quick knock on the door, and I was still a little angry to get up, so I asked a little unhappily, "Who?" ”

Immediately afterwards, Old Man Ge's hurried voice sounded, "Yangwa, Yangwa, hurry up and open the door......"
