I feel that Meng Xiang and Gao Lingkai have the same sense of foreboding as me. After all, we have all experienced so many strange and terrifying things, and we are particularly sensitive to certain signs.

But none of us spoke about this ominous feeling. Meng Xiang spoke first and asked me what to do with Uncle Zhang's body.

I thought about it before I answered.

"If you take it directly back to his house for burial, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, so it's better to move to the village, ask the village chief to help hold a ceremony, and then find a place to cremate, and we will bring his ashes back."

Meng Xiang and Gao Lingkai had no opinion, so we wrapped Uncle Zhang's face in his own clothes, and I carried him down the mountain first.

He is Zhang Xiaoyun's grandfather, and in my heart I treat him as my grandfather, and I think I should carry him. However, after walking for a while, Gao Lingkai was afraid that I would be tired, so he took it from me and let him carry it for a while.

Meng Xiang was carrying Uncle Zhang's backpack, and the futon roll naturally didn't care. When we finally walked into the village, we didn't feel more at peace, but the sense of foreboding became stronger.

The village was so quiet that it was almost silent. Although the village was quiet when we came before, the silence at that time was not the same as the quiet now.

At that time, you can occasionally hear dogs barking and roosters crowing. In addition, there will be the sound of children reading and laughing, and there will be villagers walking by from time to time on the road.

But today, there is no dog barking and no chicken crowing, and there is no movement of people. Whether it's an adult or a child.

"Why is this village so quiet?" Meng Xiang asked, and couldn't help but shrink a little.

"It's quiet!" I replied, purely to comfort Meng Xiang.

Gao Lingkai also felt that something was wrong, because I was carrying Uncle Zhang on my back at that time, so Gao Lingkai looked left and right, ran to a house on the side of the road, pushed the closed courtyard door, and shouted twice: "Is there anyone?" Excuse me, anyone? ”

No one responded to him, and no one else came out to see what was going on.

Meng Xiang looked ahead and saw that there were two families in front of him, there was no yard, but two houses were close to the intersection. So Meng Xiang walked over, knocked on the door hard, and shouted twice: "Is there anyone?" Anyone? ”

Again, there was no response.

Meng Xiang was stunned, and walked back to me on both sides with Gao Lingkai.

"The door is bolted from the inside, there should be someone in the house, but why doesn't anyone pay attention to us?"

I became more and more uneasy, so I simply carried Uncle Zhang on my back and walked straight forward, while saying, "Go to Zhang Xiaoyun's house and have a look!" ”

As soon as Gao Lingkai heard what I said, he couldn't wait to follow us slowly, so he simply spread his steps and ran straight forward.

I tried to stop him, but the whole village wasn't too big, so I held back and just tried to speed up my pace.

From a distance, I heard Gao Lingkai banging on the door and shouting: "Fang Fei, I'm Gao Lingkai!" Are you not at home? Help me open the door! ”

I carried Uncle Zhang on my back, Meng Xiang followed me closely, and we turned a corner along the bluestone road, and we saw the courtyard of Village Chief Fang's house.

Gao Lingkai probably shouted that no one answered, and in a hurry, he had already climbed the courtyard wall, so I hurriedly shouted: "Ling Kai, don't be reckless!" "He's already climbed over the wall and got inside.

By the time we walked up, Gao Lingkai had already opened the courtyard door from the inside.

I didn't dare to carry the dead man directly into someone's yard, and saw that there was a small garden next to it, and the garden was green and green, so I put Uncle Zhang's body in the grass, and then walked into the courtyard of the Fang family with Meng Xiang.

"Let's check around to see if there's anyone in the house!" I say.

Meng Xiang may have been stunned in his heart, so he turned around and closed the courtyard door first.

"Don't go your separate ways, I always feel ...... A little scared! Meng Xiang said.

I nodded, reached out to take her hand, felt her palm cold, and hurriedly smiled at her comfortingly.

Gao Lingkai didn't care about it, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door in front of him, and rushed in while shouting "Fang Fei".

But he soon came out and rushed to the second room.

I also went with Meng Xiang and began to check room by room.

Gao Lingkai and I had stayed at the Fang family for one night before, but we were just staying overnight, and we were not guests of the Fang family, so naturally it was impossible to walk around the inner and outer courtyards of the Fang family.

Now it seems that the layout of the courtyard of the Fang family is indeed divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard as in ancient times. There are five houses in the outer courtyard, with three main rooms in the middle and one side room on each side.

There are two rooms in the main room, which should be a living room and dining room, and one has an old-fashioned color TV. There is a wooden table on stilts next to the color TV, and there is a landline telephone on it.

One of the two side rooms is definitely a study, and the other seems to be for a nap.

The inner courtyard is divided into three small courtyards, one of which is the remote courtyard where Gao Lingkai and I lived. There are also two courtyards, where the children are supposed to live separately from their parents, or the boys from the girls.

The doors of the outer courtyard were all hidden, but more than half of the doors of the inner courtyard were bolted from the inside.

Let's start by looking at a few of the hidden doors, all of which look like living rooms and the like, and they are all empty at the moment. In the end, Gao Lingkai became agitated, and finally couldn't hold back and kicked open a closed door.

Meng Xiang and I heard him kick the door with a loud "pop", and hurriedly walked over and entered the room.

Gao Lingkai had already rushed to the bed first, and couldn't help but exclaim, calling me: "Gao Li, come and see!" ”

Meng Xiang and I hurried over, but saw a boy lying on the bed, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with eyebrows and facial features slightly similar to Fang Fei, presumably Fang Fei's younger brother.

"Hey, hey, wake up!" Gao Lingkai reached out and pushed the boy.

But the boy let him push, but he remained motionless.

I saw that the boy's face was ruddy, purely as if he was asleep, and I couldn't help but think of the situation when Section Chief Zhou and Yuan Wang were asleep.

Despite the horror in my heart, I reached out and probed the boy's nose.

Snorting slightly, it was indeed just asleep.

"I don't believe I can't wake you up!"

Gao Lingkai was ruthless, and saw half a cup of cold water on a small round table next to him, so he picked up the glass and poured it at the boy.

I stretched out my hand to stop it, but it was too late, and a glass of cold water was poured on the boy's face, and a large piece of the thin quilt covering his body was also wet.

But the boy was still asleep and motionless, and did not even react at all.

At this time, Gao Lingkai was also scared, looked at me in a daze, and asked me cautiously: "Gao Li, he won't ...... Like Biloba, you can't wake up, right? ”

I shuddered, and before I could speak, Gao Lingkai suddenly shouted: "Fang Fei! I'm going to find Fang Fei! ”

Spread his legs and rushed out of the room.
