Chapter 5: The Cause of the Second Uncle's Death
Fortunately, this time Luo Chuchu didn't dwell on this issue, and chatted with Chu Ye about other things, and the two walked aimlessly in the orange grove, looking like a couple to outsiders.
The two chatted about the west, and the sadness of the death of the second uncle lightened a lot in Chu Ye's heart. Finally, when talking about the second uncle, Luo Chuchu suddenly whispered mysteriously: "Do you know how your second uncle died?" ”
Forehead......
Chu Ye was a little speechless, the cause of the second uncle's death Chu Ye really didn't know, he asked the family on the phone, but he said that he suddenly fell unconscious, and the strange thing was that the hospital didn't find out the specific cause of his death.
After thinking about it, Chu Ye said, "Maybe it's a cerebral hemorrhage or something, the hospital didn't tell us in detail." ”
"If it's really a cerebral hemorrhage that the hospital can't find out, I'll tell you," Luo Chuchu's voice lowered when he said this, "Your second uncle was scared to death by a ghost." ”
Thousands of guesses, Chu Ye didn't expect Luo Chuchu to say such a sentence, under the rendering of Luo Chuchu's mysterious tone, Rao is Chu Ye was bold and frightened, and then smiled bitterly.
Although Chu Ye is not a complete atheist, it is still too absurd for the second uncle to be scared to death by a ghost. Chu Ye knew why Luo Chuchu said this, Luo Cripple himself was a Mr. Bazi, and watching feng shui fortune-telling and catching ghosts could be said to be his business.
In such an environment, Luo Chuchu has also had some gods and gods since he was a child, and he used to always say that he had yin and yang eyes to see ghosts, and when he was in the sixth grade, Chu Ye followed Luo Chuchu to school at night to catch ghosts, and later saw a black shadow next to the toilet that kept moving to scare Chu Ye enough, and finally found out that it was two dogs who were intersecting there.
Luo Chuchu saw that Chu Ye didn't believe it, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't believe it, pull it down." ”
Saying that he was about to leave by stomping his feet, Chu Ye hurriedly grabbed her and said helplessly: "Sister, if you want me to believe it, you have to explain it, what the hell scared my second uncle?" Why is this ghost going to trouble my second uncle? ”
Luo Chuchu stopped, and then looked left and right like an agent, leaned into Chu Ye's ear and whispered, "I'll tell you......"
It's just that Luo Chuchu's voice stopped abruptly here. Grandma's shouting interrupted her conversation.
It turned out that the two of them had unconsciously walked out of the orange grove and arrived at the ditch only about 20 meters away from the second uncle's house. Grandma had already seen the two of them, and was running towards them in small steps.
Chu Ye also waved his hand when he saw his mother coming, but Luo Chuchu was a little flustered on his face, and said quickly: "Ah, the third aunt is here, I'll leave first, you remember to come to me." ”
"What's the matter, my mother shouted that I must be going to sit all night, aren't you going to eat?"
"Gee, there's something going on in the house." This delay Luo Chuchu's expression was even more urgent, and he wanted to leave as if he was running away, but he stopped again after just two steps.
Chu Ye's aunt has already arrived in front of her.
"What are you doing here? It's time to eat.,After eating, I'll start sitting all night.,Come on.,Hey.,Which one is this girl? Grandma looked strangely at Luo Chuchu, who was about to leave with her back to her.
"This is Chu Chu, Mom, don't you remember?" Chu Ye said as he pulled Luo Chuchu to his grandmother.
"Three...... Third aunt. Luo Chuchu shouted with a strange expression.
Unexpectedly, Chu Ye's mother was even more surprised, staring at her as if she had seen a ghost, and it took a long time to point at Luo Chuchu and say, "You ......"
After a pause, he asked, "Are you really Master Luo's granddaughter Chu Chu?" ”
After saying that, he frowned in disbelief.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? When I was a child, I played with her every day, and after she moved away, she often went to our house, and I could recognize her at once, why did you forget? Chu Ye saw that the two of them looked at each other with strange expressions, and the second monk was even more confused.
Just then, a shrill voice broke the silence in the air.
"You cut off your brains, who told you to come out, don't go back quickly."
Luo Chuchu immediately blushed like a cat with a tail and quickly ran away, and Luo Cripple glared at Chu Chu angrily a few meters away.
"Third sister, it's going to be dinner soon, and the guests are coming, eh, this is the eldest nephew?" Luo lame stared at Chu Ye and asked, his blue and purple lips were smiling, but his eyes were cold.
Being stared at by Luo Cripple's eyes, Chu Ye couldn't help but shudder. Chu Ye didn't like this old man since he was a child, he was always lifeless, he had a coffin face when he saw everyone, and one of his eyes with a natural disability only exposed a small gap, but he could still see the black eyeballs inside, and the other eye was as big as a copper bell, and his eyes were so gloomy that he seemed to be able to swallow people in one bite.
The people in the village have never seen his daughter-in-law and children until now, and before Chu Ye was born, I don't know why a baby suddenly appeared in his house, which was Luo Chuchu.
Externally, he has always said that Chu Chu is his granddaughter, but no one in the village believes it, people used to say that Luo Chuchu was the girl he picked up on the Broken Dragon River, and now more people are talking in private that Luo Chuchu is likely to be bought by Luo Cripple from human traffickers.
Luo Cripple didn't wait for Chu Ye's aunt to answer, he also turned around and walked away, when facing Luo Cripple, Grandma's expression was a little abrupt, and she looked at Luo Chuchu who ran away and opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask something.
"Mom, what's wrong with you today? How weird and weird? Chu Ye asked puzzled.
"Nothing." Grandma grinned unnaturally, "Quick, you're already eating, you haven't eaten today." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly pulled Chu Ye towards home.
A few tables have been filled with dishes, but there are no good dishes, the banquet of white things is mainly cold food, not too much meat, and the dishes are deliberately fried white and miserable, as if they want to integrate with the surrounding environment, not to mention that it is not a night, it is even more pitiful.
When Grandma arrived, she put cigarettes on each table and said to the helpers, "Fortunately." ”
At this time, the uncle beckoned Chu Ye at the leftmost table, "Come over and eat." ”
The two brothers are slightly chubby, the other is as thin as a monkey, one has a round face, and the other has a long face, but the expressions of the two are carved out of a mold.
Abba is more introverted like Chu Ye, but Uncle is very open-minded, can boast about anyone, and keeps toasting relatives and neighbors who help around him with his thin body.
At this time, Grandma also came back, and when she saw Abba's performance, she nudged her and said, "You still don't go?" ”
Abba reluctantly got up and handed cigarettes and poured wine to the helpers like his uncle.
Next to the uncle are his two daughters, and because of his grandmother, the relationship between these two cousins and Chu Ye has always been relatively cold, and the other relatives of the family, Chu Ye, don't know much but have seen them before.
The uncle came back with a round of wine, his face was already flushed, and the sadness of the second uncle's death seemed to be washed away by the smell of wine. He poured out the drink in Chu Ye's cup, then poured half a glass of wine and said, "Such a big person is still like a girl's drink, come and drink." ”
There was no way, Chu Ye had to drink two sips, the bitter taste was spicy from his throat to his stomach, and his nose was itchy, and the uncle became more and more excited, patted his little daughter who was in junior high school on the shoulder and said, "In the future, I will study like Brother Chu Ye and take a good university to fight for Lao Tzu." ”
When he said this, he didn't look at his eldest daughter, Chu Ye knew that this cousin had dropped out of school in her sophomore year of high school, and the uncle who didn't like girls in the first place didn't have a good eye on her.
The cousin counted this anger on Chu Ye's head, and a pair of eyes stared at Chu Ye as if they were going to kill, her sister also glared at him with the same hatred when she saw this situation, Chu Ye smiled helplessly and did not speak.
The uncle continued to talk rhetorically, and the atmosphere on the table became more and more lively, and it seemed that no one had died at all today, but it seemed to have become a flowing water banquet for happy events.
Chu Ye's aunt looked anxious as soon as she started eating, she didn't know what to think, so she took a few bites and left. Chu Ye had always wanted to ask her carefully about the process and reason for her second uncle's death, although Luo Chuchu's words were absurd and uninhibited, they cast a shadow on Chu Ye's heart.
Therefore, Chu Ye hurriedly left the table after dealing with the uncle and some relatives, but he looked around the house but did not see the figure of the grandmother.
"Where have the people gone?" Chu Ye muttered unhappily, and ran to the vegetable field behind the house alone, and heard from his grandmother that the second uncle was found unconscious here.
