Zhang Hong and I were scared and hurriedly called our seniors for help.

The man outside said, "Today is our fate, you go first, and I will take care of the aftermath." Out of this gate, no one is allowed to say anything about tonight, and I will keep you safe. ”

Zhang Hong and I were so scared that we didn't dare to stay longer.

When I came out of the back of the coffin, I looked inside, and the hair stood on end, and there was a black slimy thing lying in the coffin, which turned out to be a dried corpse. The problem is that it's impossible to determine if it's human. It is about the length of two babies, with a big head, small hands and feet, arms and thighs as thin as noodles. The dried corpse's eye sockets were sunken, forming two black holes, it was simply a humanoid monster, and it was not scared to death.

Zhang Hong's face turned pale with fright, pushed me, and whispered, "Wooden peg." ”

The wooden peg was still on the table, and I quickly took it in my bosom and winked at him, and the two of us pushed the door out tremblingly.

The courtyard was deserted, no one could be seen, the moonlight was so white that we didn't dare to look closely, so we bowed our heads and ran out of the yard.

When he got down the hill, Zhang Hong suddenly became bold and said that if we don't kill the horse pistol and go back to see what the senior is doing.

Finally escaped from the tiger's mouth, I had palpitations, how could I want to make a difference, persuaded him a few words, and returned to the village overnight.

The first thing I did when I got home was to pour gasoline on a wooden peg in the backyard and set it on fire. I breathed a sigh of relief as I watched it turn into a pile of black ash.

I couldn't sleep when I went back to the house, thinking about tonight's events, and every detail was so bizarre.

After two days, there was no abnormality in the village, and Lei Shuai also recovered his health, but he had no energy, and he was slumped all day long, and he lost his former vitality. I wanted to know what happened to the paper man, but I didn't dare to ask, and I saw that the old thunder head didn't show any abnormality, so I had to hide my doubts in my heart.

It was the weekend, and my sister and mother were chatting in the living room when we heard the siren of "Wow, Wow, Wow". I have been in prison for a year, and I am very sensitive to this sound, and I shudder when I hear it, it is a police car driving into the village.

I couldn't speak for a while, my heart was beating faster, my sister looked at me, and said suspiciously: "Brother, what's wrong with you, your face is gray." ”

I had no interest in talking, so I went to the second floor and pushed the window to look, and I saw a police car parked on the village road, surrounded by a large group of villagers. I had a ghost in my heart, and I didn't dare to see the excitement, so I sat restless in the house.

I thought about it and called Zhang Hong, who was also a little uneasy and asked me what these policemen were here for. I said, "I don't know what they're here for, but just in case, let's talk the same thing." ”

I studied the rhetoric with him. I put down the phone and took a deep breath, hoping to pass this time.

In the afternoon, I was sitting in the living room in a daze when my sister brought in two policemen from outside the door. I chuckled in my heart, afraid of something, and hurriedly stood up, and suddenly thought that I could not be too flustered, so I pretended to be calm and asked them to sit down.

An old policeman asked me, "Where did you go out three days ago?" ”

Three days ago, it was the night of the paper man's death, and I blinked, and I couldn't figure out how the policeman knew I had gone out at night.

The little policeman next to him was impatient: "You won't be unable to remember what happened three days ago, is there something unspeakable?" ”

I hurriedly said, "I drove out with Zhang Hong from the village that night. ”

"What are you going out for?" The old policeman asked kindly.

I swallowed my saliva and said, "I don't have a driver's license, but I want to drive, so I let Zhang Hong drive to a place where no one is. ”

The two policemen glanced at each other, and the old policeman asked me where I was driving, and I answered them one by one, these are all good words to Zhang Hong in advance. I cautiously asked what was wrong.

The old policeman said: "Do you know Zhang Aiguo?" ”

I shook my head blankly, I really didn't know.

The old policeman reminded: "He is a paper-bound man in your village, specializing in selling funeral supplies." ”

My sister suddenly said beside her, "It's a paper man." ”

My heart was beating faster and I forced myself to compose: "I don't know, I've never heard of it." ”

"That's not right," said the little policeman, "according to your village director, Lei Guoqiang, he and Zhang Aiguo have come to your house and have seen you." ”

Lei Guoqiang is the village director, Lao Lei Tou, and he and the paper man Zhang did come to me.

The little policeman showed me a picture of the paper figure again, and I pretended to realize: "Oh, he's here." I had a hot cold that day, and the two of them came to see me, but I didn't know who he was. ”

The two policemen interrogated him for a while, and when he saw that he could not ask anything, he was about to leave.

I hurriedly asked them what had happened, and the old policeman looked at me and said meaningfully: "Someone found the body of the paper man Zhang in the mountains, it was murdered, the skull was dug up, and the method was extremely cruel. The bureau attaches great importance to this vicious case, and if you have any clues, report it in time. ”

After sending them away, I sat back on the couch with a cold breeze running down my spine.

In the past two days, even though the police were stationed in our village, they did not get any useful information.

After they completely withdrew from our village, I hurried to find Zhang Hong, and I had a question that I held for a long time, how did the police know that the two of us went out that night.

Zhang Hong was drinking at home, and when he saw me asking, he scolded him. As soon as he said it, I found out that his daughter-in-law had stabbed it out and reported her husband to the police.

Zhang Hong hated and said: "This girl really can't ask for it, I spent money to raise a thief at home!" Now send her back to her parents' house, I want to divorce her! Oh, by the way, do you know how the police ruled out the suspicions between the two of us? ”

"How?" I asked.

Zhang Hong said: "I overheard them say that this case is cruel and sophisticated, and the person who did this must be an old man." We were both mallets, and the police were no longer suspicious. I guess this case must have been committed by the senior who was a veteran murderer that night. It's scary to think about it, we can be regarded as picking up a life, but I don't understand one thing, what is the use of him digging up the skull of the paper man? ”

We discussed for a while, confused, Zhang Hong threw himself to the ground of the five bodies admired by this senior, and said that he must worship him as a teacher if he has the opportunity.

When I came out of his house, my heart was much brighter, and it seemed that the police had indeed suspected us, but they ruled out suspicion, and I turned around the ghost gate several times.

When I got home, a stranger came to the living room, a tall, part-haired man, who looked polite and elegant, like a businessman and a school teacher.

My mother beckoned me over, and she said with red eyes: "Xiaoqiang, meet your uncle, this is your third uncle." ”

I looked at this person in surprise and said politely, "Hello third uncle." ”

I whispered, "Mom, why have I never heard that there is a third uncle in our family?" ”

The man smiled: "You are Wang Qiang, right?"

When he opened his mouth, I was hit like thunder! My heart was beating so violently that I almost suffocated. The voice...... It's the senior who killed the paper man!

His voice is very recognizable in the countryside, and his Mandarin is neat and round, who can speak like an announcer here?

He looked at me with a smile, I struggled to move my throat, he, he wouldn't recognize me too, would he?

"I came too abruptly, let me briefly introduce myself, my name is An Dong, when I was a child, I asked my father to send me out to learn art, and I followed my master to run the rivers and lakes. Later, I grew up and became a crew member, drifting all over the world. Now that I have saved some money and am tired, I came back to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors. I didn't expect that the family was gone, and there was only such a sister left. Don't worry, you are all my family, and I will make it up to you. The third uncle said.

I looked at my mother, and my mother nodded: "I heard your grandfather say that there is indeed a third baby who was sent out when he was very young and has not been seen for so many years." ”

This third uncle simply fell from the sky, and his origin is a mystery, is he my third uncle?

I looked closely at his and my mother's faces, and there were still some similarities, and I wasn't sure if it was or not.

The third uncle looked at the house: "My brother-in-law has passed away, and I will become the pillar of the family when I come back." ”

Mom coughed and said, "Third brother, you don't have to be so polite, you are a guest when you come." ”

"Old sister, when you say this, you look down on your third brother," the third uncle said: "Our mother's family is gone, and there is only one sister like you, and it is appropriate for our brothers and sisters to help each other." Besides, I saved so much money, and I didn't marry a wife or have children, so it's useless to keep it, so it's better to use it all for our family. ”

My mother said weakly, "This house was left over from your brother-in-law's business when he was alive. Now that the people are gone, only this house is left for our wives. ”

The third uncle stood up, walked around the house, and said: "The style of the villa is not bad, the orientation is okay, there is no need to move much, but small repairs and small repairs are still needed." Great nephew. ”

As soon as he called me, it took me a long time to react and quickly agreed.

The third uncle said: "My mother's uncle is big." Your father passed away, and I came back, which is equivalent to your father, and I won't treat myself as an outsider. I'll give you a task tomorrow, find a reliable construction team, and I'm going to clean up our house from the inside out. ”

How dare I say nothing, and quickly agree.

Mom coughed violently: "Third brother, I can't let you spend money." ”

The third uncle came over and touched her head and rolled her eyelids: "Old sister, you got this illness from anger, and you were in a hurry, and you fell into such a sequelae." It's okay, I'll take your time to recuperate, I studied with a foot doctor for two years when I was running a boat. ”

My mother is sick, my sister is a girl, she doesn't have any ideas, I was scared by this third uncle, and I didn't dare to object. The third uncle just stayed at home.

The next day, I entrusted Zhang Hong and found the construction team in the town, all of whom were masters, and they were called a mali to do the work. The third uncle is really a bit paternalistic, self-acquainted, and explains to these masters, how to repair the house, how to tidy the house.

Our house is being renovated, and the people in the village come to see the excitement, and the courtyard is crowded with people inside and outside the courtyard.

Zhang Hong also came, after all, he was looking for the construction team, he watched the excitement in the front row of the crowd, looked at the third uncle and said, "Your uncle is magnificent enough, he came back from the south, right?" ”

My third uncle explained the project to a master, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Hong's face changed abruptly, and he whispered to me: "Why is this accent so familiar, it can't be ...... Senpai, right? ”

I nodded with a bitter face.

His eyes widened, "Damn, the senior is your third uncle?" ”

I glared at him and motioned for him to be quiet.

At this time, a few young men squeezed in from the back of the crowd, all of them were Ga boys from the village, about the same age as us. There was a little man named Niu Er inside, and as soon as he came in, he made a noise: "Qiangzi, I heard that your family has a rich relative." Did your mother find you a stepfather again? ”

As soon as these words came out, the people around them laughed "boom".

Niu Er was proud, thinking that he had said a witty thing, and he was very proud.

I gritted my teeth in anger and wanted to beat him up. The third uncle was explaining things, and after hearing it, he came over with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "It's true that I am a rich relative, but I am not the stepfather of Qiangzi, I am his third uncle, and I am his mother's third brother!" Is there anything else you'd like to ask? ”

Niu Er's face turned red, and the people around him coaxed.

Like this, you can apologize and get it. Niu Er, this kid is not a thing, and he stiffens his neck: "Who knows which temple you are a monk and where you came from." ”
