There are people in the thatched house
After listening to Uncle Kong's words, I saw a trace of fear flashing in the eyes of Xiaofei and Zhang Dali at the same time, and Uncle Kong stared at the footprints on the ground, his face was more confused, I had never seen such a helpless and confused expression on Uncle Kong's face, I stood there stupidly, maybe Uncle Kong really encountered a situation that he had never encountered this time.
But Uncle Kong then said, "You don't have to be overly afraid, just pay attention a little, as the saying goes, there are three yang fires on the heads of the living, and the yin and yang ghosts avoid them, not to mention that you are still big guys, and the yang energy is very heavy, as long as you don't do bad things, we are not afraid of any ghosts coming to the door!" Uncle Kong saw that everyone stopped talking, and hurriedly comforted everyone, after all, he is the elder here, and only she knows the theory of yin and yang gossip, you must know how much psychological effect his words will bring us.
So Uncle Kong really didn't mention this matter anymore, and arranged for Zhang Dali to close the courtyard door, and I took all the luggage into the house, just two rooms in the lobby, and the big kang in each room is not small, it is more than enough to sleep two people, Uncle Kong and I occupy one, and Dali and his cousin Xiaofei occupy one.
After settling down, a few of us went down to the kitchen, there is nothing to eat on this mountain, the kitchen only has some sausages and meat whistles and other things that are easy to preserve, so we started to make tens of thousands of steaming oil and spicy noodles, after eating a big bowl, the panicked heart only got some comfort, and suddenly felt that the mountain was not so cold, but no one said anything during the whole dinner time, Uncle Kong just covered his head to eat, I could see that Uncle Kong was thinking about things.
After cleaning up the kitchen, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and there was nothing to do on the mountain, so we went back to our rooms to rest.
Neither room has a door, so as soon as you leave your room, you can see the scene of the opposite room, and you can hear everything on the other side clearly.
After returning to the house, Uncle Kong still didn't say a word, took off his clothes and went on the kang, I also followed the kang, we each slept on the end, when I was about to lie down, I glanced at Uncle Kong, Uncle Kong had closed his eyes, but I knew that he must not be asleep, he was just thinking about the problem, seeing Uncle Kong like this, I didn't say anything, I pulled the light, the room fell into darkness, and I lay quietly on the kang.
After lying down, I heard Zhang Dali and Xiao Fei talking in the opposite room, Zhang Dali wanted to turn off the light, Xiao Fei didn't let him, saying that he was afraid, Zhang Dali sighed and said, "You coward, okay, if you don't turn it off, go to sleep!" ”
Then there was no sound on the other side, and I guess the two of them were lying down.
The mountain at night is surprisingly quiet, there is neither the noise of pedestrians, nor the hum of vehicles, and the whole house can only hear the breathing of me and Uncle Kong.
But just when I was half asleep and half awake, Uncle Kong on the other side of the kang spoke, "Qingnian, have you slept?" Uncle Kong whispered.
I woke up immediately and returned, "Not yet, Uncle Kong...... You haven't slept yet? ”
"Hey! Today's ...... Not at all! I can't sleep! By the way, Qing Nian, do you have any thoughts on this? Uncle Kong asked.
"I ...... I'm confused too! I replied truthfully, "Uncle Kong...... So what to do? ”
Uncle Kong sighed and said, "What else can I do, I'm here!" Ay...... It seems that there is only one way to find clues at the moment! ”
"What's the road?" I asked hurriedly.
"Open the coffin for autopsy!" Uncle Kong lowered his voice and said.
"What!! Open coffin autopsy ...... You mean open ...... Uncle's coffin...... But haven't we all gone to see it in the afternoon, the grave is so good, it doesn't look like it has been touched! Although I was surprised, I only whispered, for fear of being heard by the two brothers in the opposite room.
In the dark, Uncle Kong sneered, "You really believe in this superficial thing!" ”
"What do you mean...... Uncle's body may no longer be in the coffin? I exclaimed.
"If you open the coffin like this, you will know naturally!" Uncle Kong said.
"That'...... How can you say this to the two brothers...... This is the matter of opening the ancestral graves...... It's hard to say! If the two brothers don't agree, they can't say it's good! I said.
Uncle Kong sighed and said, "Hey, so this is also what I am afraid of, in what way to tell them, I wanted to tell Dali this idea in the cemetery in the afternoon, but at that time, I saw that the two brothers saw their uncle's grave and kowtowed and worshipped and cried, and at that time we didn't see anything abnormal in the grave, I want to open the grave directly to see that it is estimated that his brothers will not agree, but now that the matter is here, if the coffin is not opened and examined, there will be no clue at all!" ”
After listening to Uncle Kong's words, I thought about it for a while, and felt that what Uncle Kong said was not unreasonable, if my uncle's body was still in the grave, then who was the skinned corpse that Xiao Fei saw that morning, it seems that this matter can only be examined by opening the coffin.
"And how are you going to tell them brother?" I asked.
"I'm thinking about this, I'll find a chance to talk to Dali tomorrow morning!" Uncle Kong said, and then Uncle Kong sighed again, "Okay, celebrate the New Year, go to bed early, it's not too early!" ”
I said "oh" for a moment, and didn't say anything more, just thinking to myself, if it was me, how would I speak vigorously to Zhang.
Thinking about it, before I knew it, I fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, I was woken up by urine, I drank two large bowls of noodle soup after dinner, I didn't go to the toilet before going to bed, and now I reacted, I got up and slept groggy, because I was afraid of disturbing Uncle Kong's rest, I didn't turn on the light, and touched the flashlight on the side of his pillow to save the house, after leaving the house, I found that the opposite room was really lit, it seems that the two brothers really slept with the light on.
The thatched house is in the backyard, and there is a small door on the back wall of the lobby, which can be opened to the backyard.
In a daze, I felt the latch of the back door, turned on the flashlight and dragged my drowsy steps towards the thatched house, but when I walked to a meter or two away from the thatched house with the flashlight, the thatched house suddenly coughed, and then a deep male voice said, "Someone! ”
At that time, I was sleeping dizzy, and I didn't think much about it, I just thought it was Zhang Dali or Xiaofei squatting in the toilet, so I had to drag my pace back, thinking that I would come back later.
I was back in the lobby, but just as I was about to close the back door by inertia, a terrible thought suddenly flashed through my mind, no! When I opened the back door just now, this door ...... It's obviously a latch...... That is to say, the back door is closed from the inside, if someone in the house goes out, how can the door still be closed from the inside, thinking of this, I broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly turned my head to look at Zhang Dali's house, and the result surprised me even more, the two brothers were asleep on the kang! I woke up immediately, and the drowsiness was gone all of a sudden, damn it! What the hell is going on! Could it be that my ears are spent, and I just slept groggy? But...... I heard someone say something to me in the toilet just now, what the hell is going on, the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong, no, I have to go and see! Find out if I slept in a daze, my ears heard it wrong, or something was going on!
