The next day I slept until noon and didn't wake up, and my parents didn't know where to go, so they only left me three boiled eggs anyway.

After eating the eggs, I remembered that I had picked up a life last night because of Uncle Li's help, so I took out a bottle of Moutai from the trunk of the car and planned to take it to him, which was a thank you gift!

When I came to the end of the village, several old mothers were chatting under the tree, and when they saw me coming, they all got up quickly with a smile.

"Yo, isn't this the preserved egg of the old Wei family? Why do you have time to run from the head of the village to the end of the village today? ”

"Preserved eggs, what kind of good things are you holding in your hands, show them to your aunt!"

"He inherited a large inheritance from his daughter-in-law, but now he is a rich man, and the things in his hands are definitely not cheap, how can he show them to people like us casually?"

……

They talked for a long time, and I didn't say a word.

After a long while, I asked in a loud voice, "May I ask who of you knows which household Uncle Li's family lives in at the end of the village?" ”

After going out for several years, small buildings have been built in the village, which are no longer the piles of wooden houses in my impression, and the road has changed, and it is normal to not find Uncle Li's house in my impression.

One of the fattest old mothers looked at me and said with a smile: "Preserved eggs, your family has no relatives and no reason with this Uncle Li's family, at most it is the same village, what is the matter with his family?" ”

I didn't want to talk to them too much, but I had no choice but to ask for something, so I had to say: "I came back with Uncle Li all the way last night, and he left something in my car, and I brought it to him." ”

As soon as my words fell, I clearly felt that the atmosphere was instantly quiet, and one or two old mothers and melon seeds were put to their lips without knocking, and they all looked at me in surprise.

Sunflowers on your head?

The fattest old mother's eyes widened, "Preserved Dan, you just said that you came back with Uncle Li last night?" ”

"That's right!"

The faces of the group of them turned pale all of a sudden, and their eyes were full of panic.

The fattest old mother said, "This ...... This is impossible, Uncle Li passed away a month ago! ”

Rumble!

My head exploded all of a sudden, the Moutai wine in my hand slipped and fell to the ground, and I took a step forward excitedly: "Uncle Li is dead?" How could it be, he was obviously ...... last night"

The fattest old mother hurriedly said: "Uncle Li died in the Sanchahe service area on the way home, and it is said that he was suffocated by urine." The whole village knows about this, if you don't believe it, go home and ask your parents! ”

My head is buzzing, how could Uncle Li be dead? And the one who stayed with me last night was the ghost?!

"His house is in front, next to the grove, you go straight to see it, because he is dead outside, so he can't enter the house, and the spiritual position is still at the gate!"

I don't want to talk to them anymore, I just want to know the truth of the matter, pick up the Moutai that has been broken, and walk forward in three steps and two steps.

There was only one small bungalow next to the woods, and a pair of white lanterns hung at the door.

When I arrived, the big wooden door in front of the courtyard was open. However, it is not surprising that in rural areas, the courtyard door is basically not closed.

"Is there anyone?" Out of politeness, I stood in the doorway and shouted.

"It's coming!" A woman in her fifties walked out, "Are you?" ”

"Presumably you are Aunt Li, right? I'm preserved eggs, and when I was a child, I liked to steal your cucumber's preserved eggs! I craned my neck to look at her.

She is very short, about 1.5 meters, with a blue face and cloudy eyes.

Aunt Li squinted her eyes and looked me up and down for a long time, so long time has passed, it is normal for her to not recognize it at once.

"Once, I picked the cucumbers you left behind to be used as melons, and you chased me half a hill with a broom!"

Aunt Li suddenly realized, "It turned out to be your little preserved egg, I haven't seen you for several years, and you've grown so tall!" Quick, come inside! ”

As soon as I walked into the yard with her on the back foot, I immediately felt cold, much like the situation when I drove last night......

Under the eaves of the courtyard was a table of eight immortals, on which there was a plate of moldy apples and a few crooked candles, and on the wall hung a posthumous photograph with a smile on it.

I took a closer look and was so scared that I almost screamed!

The person on the photo is Uncle Li, exactly the same person I met last night.

And I always felt that the eyes on the portrait had been staring at me since I walked through the door.

"Uncle Li...... Really dead? I stared at the regret and blurted it out, cold sweat breaking out on my back.

"Hmph," Aunt Li snorted coldly, "He asked for it, a good living person can be suffocated to death by urine, and he has lived in vain for decades!" ”

Just now, those old mothers said that it was a rumor to let the urine suffocate me, but even Aunt Li said so, I was not only afraid but also a little curious, "Suffocation?" ”

"My old man has congenital heart disease, and he can't do anything urgently. Last month, he just went to Guiyang to pick up my daughter and came back, and found that something fell in Guiyang, and went back to get it. When he came back, he wanted to go to the toilet before getting on the bus, but he was in a hurry, and he was afraid of missing the bus, so he had to bite the bullet. No stopping on the highway, the nearest service area from Guiyang to Dian Village is the Sancha River, and when he arrives at the Sancha River, he can't hold it back, and can't wait to run towards the toilet, but the trouser belt can't be untied at this time, and he is a face-loving person, afraid of pulling in the pants. The tighter the trouser belt became, his heart became more and more anxious, and suddenly he had a heart attack, and he didn't even have time to make an emergency call, and the person was gone! ”

Aunt Li's account reminded me of the events of that night.

When I met Uncle Li, he was untying his trouser belt, and I guess he was unwilling to die, so he kept repeating what he wanted to do most in his life.

So I handed him a lighter and untied his knot, so he would help me.

I probably wouldn't have survived without him, at least for now this inference of mine is fine in my own opinion, isn't it?

No wonder the flame is blue when he lights the fire......

No wonder it feels so cold to be in the same car with him......

However, due to the previous inference, I didn't feel scared at this minute. Between me and Uncle Li, it is the relationship between you helping me and I reciprocating you, and each other is considered two clear.

I took out the Moutai liquor, and the cracked bottle was full of aroma.

"Uncle Li, I said I wanted to invite you to drink, I respect you!" I opened the bottle and poured it down in front of his portrait.

"Giggle......

As soon as the wine landed, I heard the sound of giggling, and I looked up and asked Aunt Li, "Is there anyone else in the family?" ”

Aunt Li looked into the room, "No! ”

"Giggle......

Laughter came again.

I remember that Uncle Li's family had a daughter, who seemed to be called Li Die'er, who liked to follow my ass the most when she was young, and she helped me look out for the wind when I stole her cucumbers, and I haven't seen them since I went to college.

Just now, Aunt Li also said that Uncle Li went to pick up her daughter, and now she told me that there was no one in the house?

Was it because I was afraid that I, a notorious bastard scoundrel, would have an agenda on her daughter?

Anyway, I'm also the one who has married a beautiful wife, Aunt Li won't let me know, I just want to know!

Without Aunt Li's consent, I put the Moutai wine in my hand in front of the Eight Immortals table and walked straight towards the house.

The room was simple, with little furniture and a foul smell that made it impossible to pinch your nose.

I think it's because Aunt Li is old, and she didn't have time to clean up a few rats that died at home.

I looked around the front and back rooms, and I didn't see any of them, but a red cloth hanging on one of the walls caught my attention.

What's behind this red cloth?

As soon as I was about to reach out to uncover it, Aunt Li staggered in, "Don't uncover it, you kid!" ”

Did she forget that I had been a well-known demon king in the village since I was a child, how could a demon king of the mixed world listen to others?

The more people don't want me to know, the more I want to know.

With a bang, the red cloth slid from my hand with a cloud of dust, and an altar fixed to the wall appeared in front of me.

There was an incense burner on the altar, and all three incense sticks were burned out.

There is a photograph on top of it, but it is not a black-and-white posthumous photo; On the contrary, the woman in the photo is still wearing a red voice and showing a charming smile.

That familiar smile, I don't think I can erase it in this life.
