Chapter 8 Collection of Corpses
When I saw it, it was indeed the skin of the dead fox, red fur with a little white tip.
Originally, I was worried that one of the three in this family was taken by the old fox, so I was anxious to return to the dead fox, but now that I look at it, I think too much.
No matter how ruthless the old fox is, he won't be able to pick his own skin well.
The atmosphere in this room was a little awkward for a while, and I was sure that the skin was indeed the old fox's, so I didn't ask for it, saying that I was just worried that something would happen to Uncle Lin, and since it was okay, I didn't want this fox skin.
Hearing me say this, Lin Miao glanced at Uncle Lin with disgust, Uncle Lin hurriedly gave me the money to buy a fox, I shirked it for a long time, but with Lin Miao here, I didn't push it off in the end, so I simply accepted it.
I had dinner at Uncle Lin's house at noon, and I drove back in the afternoon.
Lin Miao sent me all the way to the entrance of the village, and when she saw that I was really leaving, this girl was quite uneasy, and said with a serious look, "Xiao Zhou, you can take care of yourself, remember to change the dressing for the wound on your head." ”
"Little ...... Xiao Zhou? "I was confused.
Lin Miao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "The age is here, even if you are a life-saving benefactor, you can't be called brother!" ”
"It's not ......" I wanted to refute a few sentences, but when I realized that Lin Miao was indeed three years older than me, I was immediately deflated again.
Seeing my deflated expression, Lin Miao walked over, stuffed me with something, and ran away.
This leg and foot fast, when I came back to my senses, people ran away, looked down, and found that there was a small handkerchief in his hand, and the corner of this small handkerchief was embroidered with the word 'Miao'.
What does this mean?
I was stunned for a while with the handkerchief, and an old cold wind blew over, which made me shiver, so I quickly put away the handkerchief and drove home.
I don't know if this Lin Miao is a crow's mouth, this night, I was awakened by a gust of old cold wind when I fell asleep, and when I opened my eyes, the window paper of this house was broken several big holes.
And there was still an intermittent lapping sound on the window.
I quickly picked up the peachwood sword that I had hidden by my pillow in the morning, got up, opened the window, and stabbed the sword out.
But there's nothing outside the window.
I didn't sleep well in the cold, so after dawn, I went to buy new window paper and re-glued the windows.
But that night, I woke up from the old cold wind again, and the new window paper was still smashed.
I was reluctant to exchange money for glass, so I had to buy window paper again, and the result was still the same.
Then I didn't sleep that night, sitting on the kang, staring at the window paper, waiting for Wu Laokan'er to take pictures.
I waited like this all night, and this grandson didn't come, and I was so sleepy that my head was about to explode.
I thought it was okay, I only squinted for a while during the day, slept as usual at night, and then woke up in the middle of the night by the old cold wind.
I'll just say that there is something wrong with this Wu Lao Kan'er or how can I get it? If you want to kill or chop, you can't give a good time? What are you doing on my window all day long?
Scratching my scalp and sitting on the kang, I was frozen by this old cold wind, thinking that this Wu Lao Kan'er didn't seem to want to kill me, but what did he do pestering me all the time?
Got a crush on me?
I'm a soul again.
There must be something wrong with this, but I have already recruited his soul once, and I can't recruit him a second time, and this Wu Lao Kan'er obviously doesn't dare to see me.
The next day I went out early to buy window paper, and as soon as I opened the door of the outhouse, I saw a small mound of earth piled up under the steps, and on the mound there was a large clod of soil pressed with a piece of burner, that is, paper money.
I thought I had seen the flowers by myself, rubbed my eyes, and then looked, there was indeed a mound of dirt.
Or rather, a grave man.
it? This Wu Laokan'er didn't enjoy patting my window, so he moved directly to my door?
I was stunned, went out and copied the shovel and pulled the mound open, only to find that it was just a mound of dirt, and there were no bodies in it, and there were no urns in it.
Thinking about it carefully, I suddenly understood, carrying a shovel, along the way to the county seat, looking for a whole day, when it was almost dark, I finally found the body of a child under a relatively remote mountain road.
This child was only seven or eight years old, and he was dressed in tatters, and he should have been beaten before he died, and his face was still stained with purple slap prints and a lot of nail marks.
It was freezing on this day, and the corpse had long been frozen, and even maintained the struggling and painful appearance before death.
I watched it for a while, and thought that if I hadn't asked Sister-in-law Liu to find this child, even if the child was starved and frozen, he would not have been frozen to death in this barren mountain and wilderness.
Originally, I planned to bury it on the spot, but I couldn't bear it anymore, so I simply carried the child's body on my back and took him back to Daliang Village.
When I got home, I found a mat and wrapped the child well, so I dug a pit on the slope of the wild mountain outside the village, buried the child, burned some paper money, and recited a sutra of the past life.
After doing all this, I went home and looked at the torn window paper, and suddenly felt that I had suffered from the cold for the past few nights, and it was not in vain.
After that, Wu Lao Kan'er didn't come to shoot the windows of my house again.
After this incident, I went to the county seat and transferred the 30,000 yuan passbook that Sister-in-law Liu gave me to a passbook, because the interest would be higher.
The first wish on my grandfather's wish list is to move the ancestral grave, and I really can't afford the place he wants to move, so I can only save money desperately for the time being.
When I came back from the county seat, I lived in peace for a long time, until the end of the year, when every household began to buy New Year's goods, and I followed the little donkey cart in the village to the town to catch a fair.
The person who drove the car was the old man in the courtyard next door to me, surnamed Li, speaking of which is still his own family with Li Kuo, but this old man is much more serious than Li Kuo, he was a teacher when he was young, and the three sons and two girls in the family are also successful in their studies outside and have worked.
But these old couple have always lived in this poor village, and they have not said that they will go to their children, so they can be said to be two old men who are very reasonable.
Before I sent Lin Miao home, I borrowed Uncle Li's car.
On this day, I went to the town with this old couple to catch the market, and bought a lot of New Year's goods, because the big market at the end of the year did not end until five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and when we went back, it was already dark.
Originally, I was in a hurry when I came back, but Uncle Li said that I was too frizzy and afraid that something would happen when it was dark, so he drove back.
When I walked to Sanpo Gangzi, the car jerked upside down, as if it was rolling something.
On this slippery avenue, Uncle Li thought it was a lost object, so he got out of the car and took a look, but there was nothing on the road.
I was afraid that the wheel of the car was broken, and the old man checked it for a long time, until Aunt Li said it was cold and asked him to hurry home, and Uncle Li drove the car back again.
We didn't take it seriously, when I got home, I unloaded my things into the yard, helped Uncle Li unload the car, and then went home for dinner.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Aunt Li suddenly came to me and said that Uncle Li might be in trouble and asked me to hurry up and take a look.
This person is old, and he has a headache and brain fever, and when I go out, I take all the cold medicine left at home.
But when I ran to Uncle Li's house, I saw that the old man was sitting cross-legged on the kang, holding the table, holding a whole chicken in his hand, and gnawing happily.
The food is full of oil, how can it mean that you are sick?
I don't eat chicken, so I thought it was Aunt Li joking with me and wanted me to come over and try her skills, but soon I found that the chicken that Uncle Li was holding was not fully cooked, and it was still bloodshot.
But Uncle Li didn't know it, and he was still gobbling up the blood, and he didn't even look at me.
I asked Aunt Li what was going on with this chicken?
Aunt Li's anxious eyes were red, and she said that after Uncle Li entered the house, she asked her to stew chicken, originally this chicken was kept for the New Year, but Uncle Li said that he was going to stew, and said that he would eat chicken every day in the future.
Thinking that Uncle Li was really hungry for chicken, Aunt Li stewed one, but after the stew was done, Uncle Li held it and gnawed it, and said that it was not enough, let Aunt Li stew it again, stew more.
Aunt Li killed two more chickens, no, these two were not stewed yet, and Uncle Li ate them, and the bloodshot dreadlocks had already eaten one.
