Huzi and several boys often ran on the mountain, and after a while they disappeared, I chased them halfway up the mountain, and shouted to them for a long time but no one answered me.

"Huzi, where are you?" I shouted.

There seemed to be a sound on the head of the bun, like a heel dragging on the ground.

I took a few steps forward, and Lian Sheng suddenly came out of the poplar forest in front of me, "Uncle Lian Sheng, what are you doing......"

As soon as I was halfway through the sentence, I chuckled in my heart, and the winning streak did not stop, and I still walked up the mountain, as if I had not heard my words at all.

He staggered, as if he were drunk, and he couldn't take a step.

There was a sudden chill on my wrist, and it felt as if a hand was touching me, but when I looked down, I couldn't see anything.

"Why is it so big?" It's that nice voice again.

I was so scared that my legs trembled, and I couldn't find anyone after looking left and right for a long time, and after a while, the winning streak was gone.

"You can't see me." He said with a light smile.

"Tuzi, run!" Lamei shouted at me, looking behind me in horror.

I wanted to run, but my legs were like they were filled with lead, and I couldn't move, and no one agreed to call Huzi, so I was so anxious that I burst into tears.

When they were scared, Huzi and the others came out of the pine forest next to them with a smile, still carrying a pheasant in their hands, "Tuzi, why are you crying?" ”

As he spoke, the chill on my wrist suddenly disappeared and my legs moved.

I didn't even bother to talk to them, and I cried and ran down the hill all the way home.

When I entered the yard, the old man was washing his hands in the yard, I threw myself into his arms and said aggrievedly: "Dad, there are invisible people touching my hands on the short buns." ”

Old Yutou's body froze, "You got a short bun?" ”

"Hmm." I sniffed, feeling even more aggrieved, the point was that there was something invisible touching my hand.

"Who's up?" He asked me with a solemn face.

I cried until I hiccuped, "That's it...... Just the tiger they ......"

Old Yutou's tone softened a little, "Don't put on short buns in the future, you know?" ”

"Hmm." I pursed my mouth and asked unrelentingly, "Dad, why don't you care what touched me?" ”

He was stunned, frowned, and said, "Have you touched anywhere else besides your hands?" ”

I shook my head, "No." ”

"That's fine, if I touch you in the future, you will spit out the blood on the tip of your tongue." He said unconcernedly.

That's it? I'm a little confused, since I was a child, my grandmother said that I can't let men touch me, and in the past few years, I have said that men and women can't do it, she said that this is a big deal, why is the old Yutou reaction so bland?

I muttered a little to myself.

"You can't tell your grandmother about this, you know?" Old Yu Tou admonished.

"Huh? Why? I looked at him and asked, puzzled.

The old man was speechless, glaring at me, and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Brother Yu, something happened, and I can't find the winning streak." Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law ran over in a hurry.

"What's going on?" Old Yu asked in a deep voice.

Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law wiped her tears and said: "He took a set on the mountain a few days ago, and said in the morning to see if there was anything in the set, and he didn't come back until lunch, so I went to the mountain to call him, but I didn't find it for a long time." ”

I patted my head: "I saw Uncle Lian Sheng, he was on the short bun, he seemed to be drunk, and the road was unstable." ”

Just now, I was so scared that I forgot to talk about it.

Old Yutou's face changed suddenly, "He's running to the dwarf bun?" As he spoke, he ran out, and happened to meet Yu Jianguo and told him about it.

"Hurry up and get on the feet of the dragon and the tiger men in the village and go up the mountain." Old Yu said with a solemn expression.

"Hey, okay." Yu Jianguo hurriedly went out to call someone.

I was afraid that I didn't want to get on the short bun, but Lao Yutou insisted on pulling me up, saying that I would have a score in my heart, so that I would not be afraid in the future.

Grandma scolded her mother angrily.

When I went up the mountain, I pulled the sleeve of the old man and didn't let go, for fear that something unseen would touch me again.

The trees on top of the buns are very lush and lush, and the sun can't shine in, and even a bird can't be seen, which makes people feel chills.

I wondered in my heart, when I came up just now, I saw sparrows coming, and the birds were scared away by the tigers?

The short bun is not big, Lao Yutou and Yu Jianguo took people to look for it, but they didn't find anyone, and when they were about to go down the mountain, they heard a few screams by the river, he and Yu Jianguo glanced at each other, and quickly took people over.

The two men stood by the river with pale faces and at a loss, pointed to the riverbed and said, "Brother Yu, village chief, come quickly, is that someone?" ”

I looked in the direction they were pointing, and I saw Lian Sheng lying in the river pit, his eyes were round, his mouth was wide open, his body was full of mud, and his body was also covered with mud, his hands were pinching his neck, the green tendons on his hands were bursting, and his legs were tense, and at first glance he looked like he had been strangled to death.

Old Yu hurriedly stepped forward, checked for a long time, sighed and said, "The person has gone." ”

As soon as he said this, the timid sat down directly on the ground.

I looked at the winning streak in a daze, my mind was blank, how could a good person say that it was gone?

"Carry the person back first." Yu Jianguo twisted his eyebrows and asked people to find a board, and he and the old Yu Tou carried the winning streak back to the village.

Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law, who was waiting at the entrance of the village, saw her man being carried back, and she almost fainted, and reacted to cry while holding Lian Sheng's corpse.

By the time the body of the winning streak was settled, it was dark.

Old Yu Tou said to Yu Jianguo: "You find someone to go to the county seat to buy a coffin and come back, the coffins prepared by the old people in our village were all borrowed by me a few days ago." As he spoke, give him the money.

"Okay......" Yu Jianguo took the money and left in a hurry.

"Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law, you change Lian Sheng's clean clothes, wipe the mud on your body, and when the coffin is bought, you will put it in the coffin and bury it." Old Yu said in a deep voice.

Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law responded dumbly.

After she finished wiping Lian Sheng's body, Yu Jianguo also bought the coffin back.

Lao Yutou personally carried Lian Sheng into the coffin, covered the coffin lid, and said to the courtyard: "It belongs to the dragon, the little dragon or the tiger, and the men who have not gone through the personnel come out and carry the coffin to the north of the low bun." ”

"Why are they dwarf buns?" Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law lost her voice and said, "My family's ancestral grave is in the back mountain." ”

"I know that the winning streak is special, if you want him to leave with peace of mind, just listen to me, bury it on the dwarf bun first, and move it to the back mountain after a year." It's rare for the old man to be strong.

"Just listen to my brother." Yu Jianguo echoed.

Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Carrying the coffin is not a good job, plus the death of the winning streak is too scary, and no one stands up for a long time, and finally Yu Jianguo ordered four young men who were not married, and asked them if they were broken, and the four of them shook their heads, and the person who carried the coffin was decided.

It stands to reason that before carrying the coffin out of the house, you have to burn paper money with incense, but the old man didn't let him, but instead filled a bag of ingots and burned them on the short buns as he said before.

After tying up the coffin, Lao Yutou held a lit incense stick in his left hand, held a bell in his right hand to lead the way, walked three steps and shook the bell, and said loudly: "Rise the coffin!" ”
