Chapter 2: Drowning Accidentally
"Who are you, you? You're promoting superstition! I screamed a little angrily, disgusted with what he had just said!
After all, I'm just going home to mourn at the moment, isn't he cursing me?
He was completely indifferent to my indignation. He took out a string of copper coins from his other bag, then took out ten and put them on the table, "I am just a fortune teller, if you believe me, buy the copper coins, it will be good for you to wear them on your hands." ”
Buy his copper coins?
Doesn't this make it clear that he is a charlatan?
I was just about to curse, but he suddenly smiled coldly, "If you buy my copper coin, the male ghost who followed you will appear." ”
"......" The word 'male ghost' made my heart flutter for a moment, and my heart began to shake a little!
I thought of the man in my dream, and it was a coincidence that I dreamed of the same man over and over again, is it a coincidence?
"How much is your copper coin?" I opened my mouth in a tangled way, took the copper coin, and looked at it.
"No more, no less, fifteen hundred!"
"You robbed?" I was a little excited and put the copper coin back on the table, ten dollars at most for this thing! "Fifty yuan, you can sell it, if you don't sell it, you can get it!"
He looked at me and finally offered a hundred. I wasn't in the mood to bargain with him, so I gritted my teeth and agreed.
I took the coin and put it back in my backpack.
After getting off the high-speed train, I didn't dare to stay, so I quickly took a car home.
My family lives in a mountain nest, and because it is a mountain road, it is not easy to walk. The car jolted for two hours to reach its destination.
After getting out of the car, I walked towards the door of the house with a salute, and my heart was hanging all the time and I didn't dare to relax.
There were a lot of villagers and elders around our door, and they all took the initiative to get out of the way when they saw me.
Standing at the door of my house and looking at the two-story house built by my grandfather when he was alive, my feelings are very complicated, because I have a father who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles and still doesn't want to make progress!
Our family was good in the early years, when my grandfather was still alive and had been running a chicken farm, and after he died, the family was empty, and on the surface it looked glamorous, but in fact it was destitute.
When I walked into my mother's room, my mother's body had been disposed of, and she was lying on the bed in black mourning clothes, covered with a piece of paper.
I watched with trembling lips, my whole heart aching violently.
"Wife, why did you leave me and my daughter behind? What do you say we will do in the future......" Boss Xia knelt beside the bed and cried to death.
Boss Xia is my dad, I don't want to call him dad since I was a child, he beats me and my mom at every turn, I always feel that the title 'dad' is insulting to myself.
Although Boss Xia's crying was deafening, he didn't hear any sadness.
My aunt knelt beside the bed and burned paper money, as did my little cousin, who was only four years old. He is the only boy in our Xia family, he is usually very precious, and today he is willing to kneel here, which makes me feel a little surprised, and I can't help but look at him twice.
I knelt down in front of my mother with a grieving heart and kowtowed to her three times.
My aunt asked me to go back to the room to rest first, I didn't want to go, I really didn't want to believe that my mother was dead, I couldn't accept this unbelievable fact.
"Linglong, your mother has passed away, can you rest assured? You hurry back to the room to rest, you can't help here, there are many things to do at night......" Boss Xia pulled me and shouted at me.
I shook him off, glared at him angrily, and yelled heartbrokenly: "My mother was still alive and well when she called me two days earlier, how could she die suddenly?" Tell me, how did she die? Did you do something to my mom again? ”
Boss Xia was stunned for a moment, and then raised his hand to hit me in annoyance, "How did you talk?" Your mother is my wife, what can I do to her? She accidentally fell into a well and drowned. You ask me, how do I know? ”
The anger on his face was real, as if he had really been wronged, if it wasn't for my second uncle to stop him, I guess he would have really beaten me.
But I don't believe it, I don't believe that my mother accidentally fell into it and died, she couldn't have been near the well, not to mention that the well was in the ancestral house built by my grandfather, and the ancestral house had long been inhabited, and the well had always been sealed.
What's more, my mother never comes near that well! I remember when I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, I went to my ancestral house to play for a while, and when my mother found out, she beat me up so badly, with fear in her eyes, saying that if I got close to the well, I would die!
I asked her why, but she never wanted to say. And every time she mentioned the well, she had a look of fear and heartache. After a long time, I got used to it and didn't ask about it anymore.
But now I don't understand why she ended up in this well in an unclear way......
"Oh, people have passed away, what's the use of saying this? If you think she didn't die by herself, can't you just call the police? The second aunt, who was burning paper, said disapprerovingly.
As soon as these words came out, my second uncle, who had always been honest, suddenly became very gloomy and ugly, and scolded loudly, "Shut up, what are you calling the police?" What's going on with you here? You know what? ”
The second uncle is a well-known honest man in our village, he is diligent and down-to-earth on weekdays, and his attitude towards everyone is very friendly, I don't understand why he would scold the second aunt so abnormally at this moment.
Is he afraid that I will call the police? But I remember when my mother was alive, my second uncle was the best person in this family to my mother and me!
Why isn't he on the same side as me at this moment?
"Call the police! I agree with my second aunt! I opened my mouth and made this decision!
I will never allow my mother to die like this, and calling the police must be the best way.
As soon as I said this, my second uncle and my father didn't snort anymore, and even the second aunt who had just advised me to call the police looked a little weird.
I didn't care what their expressions were, anyway, I resolutely took out my phone and prepared to call the police. However, before the number could be dialed, my mobile phone was snatched away......
It was my elderly grandmother who snatched my phone, she was in her seventies, but she was still very strong. She was looking at me with a sharp look at me at the moment, and said sharply, "Call the police? We solve the affairs of our family by ourselves. People have already died, what do you call the police? Is it funny to let outsiders come to see our jokes? ”
I was so angry with her logic that I almost laughed out loud, "Grandma, I'm here to give my mother justice!" ”
"Shut up! You dead girl is deliberately finding fault! Your mother fell into a well and drowned, what can you do when the police come? Can you still fight the sky? If you're tossing, do you believe it or not, grandma will jump down together and let you call the police a few more times? Grandma excitedly knocked on the floor with a cane a few times, and her voice was terrible!
I was a little incredulous, the night my sister disappeared four years ago, I also asked to call the police, as it is today, but they were silent and silent, refused to refuse, in short, they were indifferent......
