Chapter 8 Flashlight

Looking at this newly built small tomb, everyone was silent, and their hearts were filled with doubts in addition to compassion.

"I think everyone should go back first, this matter still needs to be decided by the dog's parents, if the dog's father still doesn't come back, we will fight for the dog's mother's opinion." The patriarch spoke, and the people circled around the tomb and departed one after another.

It was not early, and no one wanted to stay in this deserted cemetery, so the matter could only be told tomorrow.

The dog baby mother has stabilized, accepting the fact that people cannot be resurrected after death, heartache is heartache, and life still has to be lived. Just thinking about why Jin Hai hasn't come back yet, where he died, he couldn't help but shed tears when he thought of the dog baby.

Jin Qin didn't have to accompany her, and returned home. The matter of accompanying the dog's mother is borne by the dog's aunt, after all, it is a concubine, and it is convenient to accompany her.

Jin Qin didn't know that the dog baby had already entered the ground, and she was also startled after listening to what Long Yang said, after all, women are not very bold. When she went to bed at night, Jin Qin pulled Long Yang into her room, and the two of them were companions.

"Mom, why did you say my dad didn't have it, why didn't he even find his body? According to me, Dad must be fine, he may have been delayed by something. Long Yang and his mother were talking.

"Hey, I also hope he's okay, but what can be delayed for so long, it's been three years." Jin Qin sighed.

"yes, it's been three years!" Long Yang also learned his mother's tone and sighed for a long time.

"When I saw my father's empty grave today, I felt very uncomfortable. Mom, you said that we go to the grave every year, if Dad doesn't die, isn't it unlucky? "Long Yang, like the little adult, has a lot to think about.

"You kid, you think more than adults, if he's okay and comes back a long time ago, just treat him as dead!"

"Mom, did you say that the dog's grave is also empty?"

"Where do I know this, the devil knows. It's not early, go to sleep, there is something to do tomorrow, and the patriarch informed me to go to the dog's house tomorrow. ”

The child sleeps fast, and he kept asking this and that just now, and he fell asleep after a while.

Jin Qin couldn't fall asleep because of Long Yang's words, yes, if you didn't die, why didn't you go home?

The night was long, it condensed into frost, and the people who waited turned from hope to despair.

At dawn, Jin Qin and Long Yang came to the dog's house early after eating.

Many people had already arrived, and the patriarch was still sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, smoking a dry cigarette sullenly.

After a while, everyone came to the dog's house, there were people inside and outside the hospital, and everyone already knew what happened yesterday. It seems that this morning it was decided whether to dig or not to dig a grave.

"Everyone has almost arrived, everyone knows what happened yesterday, and this matter is decided by the dog baby. I've already spoken to my mom this morning, and she's in favor of digging up our graves. But she has a request, that is, if it is determined that it is a dog baby, she will bury him according to our customs. Everyone knows the practice of early death, and everyone prepares separately. "Although it is rare for children to die young, everyone knows the rules of white things, so they are ready quickly.

"All the women are at home, all the offenses are avoided, and the rest are all going with me." The patriarch announced the rules, and Long Yang did not break them, so he fell on the tail of the team and followed the adults.

When I came to the cemetery, an old man burned yellow paper in front of the grave, muttering something like Mo Wei. After some tidying up, four young and strong men began to dig graves.

The patriarch specially told him to be careful when digging down to prevent the corpse from being damaged.

"There is a white cloth!"

The people gathered around saw a corner of white cloth exposed.

"Everyone, be careful, start from all sides," someone shouted.

Soon the four of them carried out the corpse wrapped in a white cloth and slowly uncovered it. After being buried for a day and a night, the body of the dog baby has changed color, but everyone still recognizes the dog baby.

"Poor boy!"

"Now that everyone is here, since it is sure that it is a dog baby, we will bury it again in accordance with the rules and the requirements of the dog baby's mother." The patriarch organized everyone to carry the small coffin that had been prepared temporarily. This was made by the carpenter in the village in time, although there was no time to do it carefully, it was also a place for the dog baby.

Everyone carried the dog baby in and buried it before noon. The child is buried at noon, which is the rule in the village.

"What is this?" Jin He pointed to the soil in the grave and said.

Everyone followed the direction of his finger and saw a bright piece of something peeking out of the soil.

Someone used a shovel to pluck the earth, revealing what was inside. "It's a flashlight."

"Isn't this a dog baby's flashlight? It was used by the dog baby to go to school, and it was bought by the eldest brother specifically for the dog baby in the city. I remember very clearly, this is it. You see, the word dog baby is still engraved on the butt of this flashlight. Jin He took the flashlight and looked at it carefully several times.

"But how did this flashlight get to the grave?"

"At that time, I was carrying the body of the dog to the ancestral house, but I didn't bring any flashlights?"

"What's going on?" Everyone talked about it again.

"Don't talk about this in advance, let's bury the dog baby and talk about it, don't miss the time. The flashlight was collected by Jin He, and when he went to the ancestral house after he was done, all the seniors in the clan went over together. "At the critical moment, the patriarch presided over the overall situation, and arranged things again in a few words.

The rest of the matter is simple, everyone worked together to bury the dog baby and carefully pile up a grave bag. And they worshipped again, and the dead were great.

Return to the ancestral house and do it in chronological order.

"Jin He, tell me in detail about the situation that night." The patriarch asked.

"That night I had already gone to bed, my sister-in-law came to my house in a panic and knocked on the door, saying that the dog baby went out to play by herself, and suddenly ran home in a panic, screaming that there was a ghost, and then fainted. When I went over, I saw the dog's face pale and his breathing short. I hurried to the doctor, and when the doctor came, the dog baby also went. Jin He told everyone what happened that night.

"Then did you see the flashlight that the dog was holding that night?"

"It was so urgent that I didn't pay attention. But I didn't see the flashlight since. ”

"When you carried the dog's corpse here, did you see a flashlight?"

"No, no. Besides, it was carried in a white cloth at that time, and we didn't see it. You ask about it, he should know. ”

There is a special person in the village who dresses the corpse, named Jin Shan, who is in his sixties, is an old bachelor, and usually likes to drink. He was present at all the red and white affairs in the village, and this time he also went to the cemetery.

"I didn't see it, but when the family found a new set of clothes, I helped the child change his clothes, and I didn't find anything else."

Jin Shan said affirmatively.

"That's weird!"

If you don't find the person who buried the body, you can't know what happened at that time, but how you can find that person, no one knows. It was past noon, everyone couldn't resist their stomachs, and the patriarch had no choice, so he let everyone disperse with a wave of his hand.

Seeing that everyone was leaving one after another, the patriarch also shook his head and left the ancestral house with a sigh.

The rest are Jin Shan and Longyang.

"Grandpa Shan, I'm also leaving." Long Yang said to Jin Shan.

"Wait." Jin Shan grabbed Long Yang's sleeve.
