Looking at him with an angry face, I said with a crying expression: "Uncle......"

He snorted, stepped out the door, and strode towards the hall, with me close behind.

As soon as he entered the house, when he saw the corpse on the kang, he paused. I could hear him breathing heavily.

I was stunned, pretending to be so similar?

Just as I was thinking about what he was going to say to me next, I saw him suddenly rush to the corpse, and his voice trembled, "Dad!!" ”

"What?" I was momentarily shocked, this ...... This old man is his father? In other words, is it Xiaoling's grandfather?

Depend on! It doesn't have to be like this, right? In order to scare me, even his father moved out?

I took a deep breath and looked at Xiaoling's father, looking at his expression, as if he was not faking!

But that's not necessary, is it? Just to scare me, dig the dead old man out of the grave and put it on my bed?

Do you think the old man will be directly revived by the anger of this unscrupulous descendant in front of him?

Xiao Ling's father has lost the shock he had when he first came in, and it looks like his hands are still shaking at this time, but he is not out of his mind.

But suddenly, Xiao Ling's father, who was standing next to the old man's corpse, turned around suddenly, and then glared at me angrily, "Why is my father in your room?" ”

As soon as I heard this, I was stunned!

You ask me, I ask who goes? Besides, you didn't do it, and now you're coming to ask me?

Am I still idle and have nothing to do, and I can't run to dig up corpses in the middle of the night?

At this point, I really want to give him a sentence. "Your daughter appeared in my room, and you blamed me. Now that your father has appeared inexplicably, you are running to blame me again? ”

But after all, it's just a matter of thinking, in this situation, I can't touch his brow yet, otherwise I'll have to get out of here!

When he saw that I didn't answer for a while, he also reacted a little that what he said was excessive.

After all, this is a corpse in front of me, I am a good boy, will I go to dig up the corpse and sleep with it?

At this time, Xiaoling's mother also rushed over. It's just that when I saw my dead father-in-law lying on the kang, I was so frightened that I almost collapsed to the ground!

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoyu, who had just rushed over, was awakened by a scream from Xiaoling's mother, and he didn't understand what was going on, and was about to drill into the house. His father said, "Xiaoyu, don't come in, help your mother to go to the main house first!" ”

After saying that, Xiaoling's father also went to the main house, and I was the only one left in the whole room in an instant.

I looked at the empty room and the corpse of the old man on the kang with some speechlessness.

But after a while, Xiao Ling's father walked in again, holding a white paper the size of a human face in his left hand and a small bowl of paste in his right hand!

I was stunned, not knowing what he was going to do. I saw him walk up to the old man, dip his fingers in the paste and lightly tap the old man's forehead and chin, and then the white paper was pasted on!

"Pasty?" Watching him completely cover the old man's face with a blank sheet of paper, I understood.

I have heard of this custom for the dead in our folk, but there is no such ritual in the funeral home.

This seems to be done in order to prevent the dead breath from spewing into the faces of the family members, otherwise the dead person will seem to be entangled in the family members all the time and will not be reincarnated.

In fact, everyone in our line of work knows that people will die when they are out of breath. There is no dead air.

I think the purpose of this is to prevent the child from seeing the dead man, otherwise the child will be frightened when he sees the white face of the dead man. And after a person dies, the body will be swollen, and when the child sees such a scene, it will not be frightened!

After the old man's face was completely covered, Xiaoling's father turned to look at me and said, "Xiao...... Xiao Hao, help me! ”

His face looked a little embarrassed, and I was also stunned, I didn't think he would ask me for help? And the attitude seems to be much better?

Of course, I won't reject him because he had a bad attitude. Wouldn't it just help, but also use it to ease the relationship.

"Uncle, as long as I can help, you can just say it." I said with a smile. Suddenly realizing that in this situation, it seems that I shouldn't laugh.

But he was already smiling, and it was not easy to take it back, so he could only look at Xiaoling's father with some embarrassment. He didn't care, and said directly to me: "Then you can help me carry my father to the main house!" ”

I nodded in response, and immediately moved, moving corpses is a matter of ease!

According to Xiaoling's father's instructions, I placed the old man on a door panel that had been erected above the main house.

Immediately, he began to arrange the mourning hall, and Xiaoyu realized what had happened, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out.

I started to do it, and after the mourning hall was almost arranged, Xiaoling's father asked me to rest for a while, and then he went straight to the door of the courtyard and went to find the houses in each house!

By now, the sky has lit up slightly. In fact, what I don't understand the most is that from beginning to end, Xiaoling's father seems to have deliberately avoided the fact that his father appeared in my room, and just arranged the mourning hall with his head bored!

Could it be that he saw that I was not frightened and wanted to bury his father again?

Quite possibly that's it, I shook my head, and I couldn't help but feel a little funny.

But there was one more thing that puzzled me, and when he was finally discharged from the hospital, he looked a little uneasy, and whispered to me.

Let me always pay attention to the movement in the house, and if there is anything, I will quickly escape with Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu's mother.

At that time, I was thinking that he, a person who dared to dig his father's grave, would he be afraid that his father would break out and hurt people?

But now that I think about it, I feel that something is wrong. His uneasy expression was obviously not pretending, and listening to his tone, it was as if his father had run out of it on his own!

I couldn't help but be taken aback at the thought of this possibility. But I still shook my head, compared to Grandpa Xiaoling, who was dug up by Xiaoling's father to scare me, and Grandpa Xiaoling ran out by himself, I still believe in the former more.

After all, a corpse is just a dead person. And I've been in the funeral home for so many years, and I've never seen that body running around on its own.

Just as I was thinking about this, Xiaoyu suddenly pulled my clothes, and said with a look full of fear: "Lin ...... Lin Hao, my grandfather seems to have moved! ”

"Huh?" I was stunned, and my eyes couldn't help but look at Grandpa Xiaoyu.

I saw that the white paper covering his face did move occasionally, but I wasn't too scared.

At this time, the door of the house is wide open, the wind outside the house blows in, and the white paper does not move, which is called a strange thing!

"It's okay, it's the wind blowing in from outside, don't think about it."

Hearing me say this, Xiaoyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but the fear in her eyes still hasn't dissipated!

Seeing her like this, I couldn't help but feel a little unbearable, so I said, "Why don't you and your aunt go to your house first?" I'll just keep it here! ”

At this moment, incense and candles were already lit on the mourning hall, and Xiaoyu and her mother were kneeling under the mourning hall and burning paper money.

"It's okay, my dad is coming back. It's not good to be seen by my uncles like that. Xiaoyu shook her head and said, a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

I nodded and didn't speak again, anyway, Grandpa Xiaoyu won't really hurt people, at most, the current atmosphere is a little scary!

After a while, there were many footsteps outside the courtyard gate, and then four or five middle-aged men hurriedly walked in, including a young man about my age!

It seems that these should be the uncles in Xiaoyu's mouth.

As soon as they entered the house, they were stunned when they saw that there was an outsider like me.

Seeing this, Xiaoling's father hurriedly explained: "This is Lin Hao, Xiaoqin's distant cousin, who has been abroad since he was a child, and just came back a few months ago, and he has nothing to do recently, so he came over to play." ”

"What?" As soon as I heard this, I was stunned on the spot.

Before I could react, a burst of polite words suddenly sounded around me.

What young and promising and so on, looking at their eyes full of appreciation, and even a trace of envy, I have been completely petrified!

"Ahem!" Seeing that the scene was a little chaotic, Xiao Ling's father immediately coughed.

The uncles who were talking to me were stunned and showed a hint of embarrassment. They're here to get down to business, but they're not here to be polite to me.

As a result, the original terrifying atmosphere has dissipated a lot. But back to the point, these people were all silent for a while.

Xiao Ling's father handed everyone a cigarette, and as the cigarette slowly burned, the atmosphere became even more silent.

This silence lasted for a long time, and a middle-aged man who looked a little older than everyone suddenly sighed and said, "Third child, you shouldn't have listened to that person and buried your uncle in the backyard!" ”
