Chapter 65: 12 Holes
The second uncle rubbed his hands, walked over triumphantly, and came to the coffin, I opened a gap, he stretched his neck to look inside, looked at it for a while, he raised his head and said, "There is no fox in the coffin." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
My second uncle and I glanced at each other, this coffin is only so big, where else can the fox run? The second uncle asked me to keep watch outside, in case the fox jumped out, I could block its way outside. The second uncle rummaged through it again and again, and found that there was a hole under the coffin, and the fox slipped down from the hole, and a cold wind blew from there, which turned out to be a passage.
We descended the passage, which was made up of stone steps, slowly facing down, and there was a wider space where several coffins lay neatly and respectfully.
The first coffin was pried open, and there lay a wild dog, all that was left was shriveled skin and hair, and the flesh had dried up. The wild dog's fate was good, and he was put in a coffin when he died.
I only heard an exclamation from the second uncle: "Little Jinzi, come and see, am I dazzled, who is the person lying inside?" The second uncle looked dazed, his face was full of tiredness, his eyes had been rubbed red and swollen, and at that moment, I found that the second uncle was completely like a different person, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden. I said to myself, Who else is lying in it? It should be the people who passed away in Mawei Village, and sky burial is the custom here, but there are also some people who like to be buried, just like grandpa.
I came to my second uncle, looked into the coffin, and couldn't help but gasp. I suspected that I was dazzled, and rubbed my eyes vigorously, and my heart suddenly found it difficult to accept. Lying inside turned out to be my second aunt Ma Cuihua. The second uncle sat on the ground, and he had no strength to think.
The person in the coffin was wearing the same clothes as the second aunt, and his expression was the same as the second aunt. I tried to persuade myself that this person could not be the second aunt, I also saw the second aunt at home yesterday, she couldn't come here all at once. I had the illusion that I was dreaming, either we were dreaming now, or we were dreaming when we usually saw my second aunt. I pinched my thighs hard, and it hurt in my heart. At this time, I heard the second uncle say: "All this is real, what we are experiencing is not a dream. ”
I looked at the second uncle, who had already endured the emotional discomfort, stood up from the ground, and probed the second aunt's breathing, but there was no sign of life. He bowed to his feet, looked for something inside the coffin, made a detour to the other side of the coffin, stopped, and beckoned to me, "There is a line engraved here." ”
I came to the second uncle, and he pointed to the small line of print to show me. This line of small characters is engraved in the middle part of the coffin, and it seems to be quite exquisite, and someone specially carved it. It reads: 1927.10.27 Camel Mountain Horse Cui Flower Pawn
Today is October 25, 1927, and the above 1927.10.27 refers to two days later. Camel Mountain refers to this place, and the location is very accurate.
Ma Cuihua is the name of my second aunt, so it seems that the one lying inside is most likely my second aunt. The word "pawn" should mean death. This line of words together means that my second aunt will die in Camel Mountain the day after tomorrow.
But how can there be such a coincidence in the world? Who carved this line? "It" how did it know that my second aunt would die in two days.
In the panic, the second uncle did not lose his mind, carefully examined the second aunt, and found that there were no wounds on her body at all, which is even more strange, if the second aunt died, then how did she die?
We hurried out of the cave and returned home. Seeing the second aunt, the second uncle couldn't hold back his impatience and gave the second aunt a hug. The two of them are like people who have been reunited after a long absence, the second uncle asked the second aunt a lot of questions, and the second aunt said that she has not been out recently.
At night, the second uncle decided to sleep in a separate room with the second aunt, but the second aunt was not very happy, after all, she was an old husband and wife for many years, so she was not used to it. The second uncle made an excuse, saying that he didn't know where to wander around during the day, his butt was very itchy, and it was getting worse and worse, and he should have been infected by something. The second aunt wanted to help him take a look, but the second uncle didn't allow it, for fear that the second aunt would be infected, but the second trial couldn't be stubborn, so he had to agree. In the end, the second uncle laughed, a little reluctantly, and walked to the next room.
The next room is where I live on weekdays, and after the second uncle came in, I saw that he was restless, and today is October 26th. There was a grandfather clock on the wall, which had already pointed to nine o'clock in the evening. The second uncle was lying on the bed, but he couldn't sleep. The second uncle told me about his concerns, and I deeply understood it.
We saw the second aunt lying in the coffin in Camel Mountain before, and nine times out of ten it should be the second aunt, and now there is a second aunt in the house, will one of them be fake? The second uncle asked the second aunt a lot of questions during the day, all of which were some detailed questions, and the second aunt could answer them quickly and inadvertently. If the second aunt is fake, no one can disguise it so well. There is only one possibility, the two second aunts are real. Thinking about it carefully, how can there be two second aunts in the world?
If that prophecy is true, it will not be a prank by someone, and to judge whether it is a prank, you only need to see whether there will be a "pawn" in the early morning of October 27. But to wait for this result, it needs to pay a great price, and it is very painful psychologically.
The second uncle smoked a few cigarettes, his face was full of anxiety, and when it was 11:45, he couldn't hold back anymore and said, "I have to go to your second aunt's room, if something really happens to her, I won't be at ease in this life." He snuffed out the cigarette butt with his fingers, flung it to the ground, and broke out the door.
In the last 15 minutes, I don't know how the second uncle spent it, he told me in the morning that the second aunt had left last night. When the second aunt left, the second uncle didn't inform me, and he wanted to find a time to be quiet. The second aunt left at zero hour, he only sat quietly by the second aunt's bed, smoked a lot, and when he came out to inform me, it was like he hadn't slept for days and nights. However, he told me that the second aunt was very peaceful when she left, there was no pain at all, no wounds, no signs of poisoning.
In the autumn of 1927, a lot of things happened, first my grandfather died, and his coffin was found in another place, and even the head was not found. The second aunt also passed away, and she died suddenly. The originally happy family was shattered like this. But later, the RB devil made waves, and we didn't have time to immerse ourselves in this kind of mourning all the time.
