Every disaster is often preceded by signs, but people in the middle of it often don't realize that by the time the disaster really comes, it's too late. The day after that night, I saw that my second uncle got up early to do things, his expression was no different from before, his spirit was also very good, he seemed to be in good health, and his heart was a lot more stable.

Looking at the reddish sunlight rising in the morning, I thought to myself, let it pass, as long as the second uncle can see it and his body is fine, it will be better than anything. I wanted that incident to be forgotten silently.

Erniang and Xiaomei saw that the second uncle was a little pale except for his face was a little pale, everything was as usual, and they were obviously relieved.

The days went on as usual, and my little sister and I went to the mountains to mow the grass in the morning with the basket on our backs.

As I walked through the village, I heard the uncles and uncles in the village talking about the dog barking last night. Yesterday the dogs in the whole village barked like crazy, which is very unusual, but for the people in the mountain village, this kind of thing is not a big deal, and the discussion is over after a few words, and they will not take it too seriously.

My little sister also asked me about the barking of the dog, and I didn't know how to answer, so I shook my head with a wry smile.

I really don't know why those dogs kept barking last night, all I know is that because of last night's dog barking, the sound of me crying under the quilt was not heard by Xiaomei and Erniang.

Why I cried last night, to be honest, I don't know.

Some things are just like that, and it's hard to tell people about them clearly.

After mowing the grass on the mountain, my little sister and I sat next to the cornfield to rest, looking at the misty mountains and forests in front of us, and chatting about my report to the university in two months. Although my little sister doesn't like to study, she has a lot of longing for college, and said that when I go to report, I must take her to the university campus to see it.

Naturally, I said yes, in fact, my second uncle had already told me that when I reported to college, our whole family would go together. He said that he had never taken Erniang to travel outside for most of his life, and now he took this opportunity to take Erniang outside to see the world.

Thinking about how my family would send me to college in two months' time, my heart warms and I look forward to that day.

After chatting for a while, my little sister and I each carried a basket of grass on our backs and walked down the mountain.

When I got home, I saw my second uncle killing chickens.

There is nothing strange about killing chickens, Erniang has already said early in the morning, I and my second uncle have been doing magic work outside for a few days, she wants to make spicy chickens to treat us, and now it must be Erniang who asked the second uncle to help kill chickens. What surprised me was a move after the second uncle killed the chicken, after he killed the chicken, his hands were full of blood, and then I saw him lick the warm and fresh chicken blood on his hands, looking inexplicably a little greedy.

"Dad, how do you eat chicken blood?" When the little sister saw this scene, she cried out in surprise.

Hearing Xiaomei's voice, the second uncle's body stiffened slightly, but he quickly reacted, laughed at us and said, "It's okay, I just want to taste what this chicken blood tastes like." ”

He still had chicken blood on his mouth and teeth, and he looked a little scary when he laughed.

The little sister frowned in disgust, and complained dissatisfiedly: "Dad, you see that your mouth is full of blood, it's ugly to death." ”

The second uncle hurriedly wiped the blood on his mouth with his hand, but there was also blood on his hands, and the more he wiped it, the more he wiped it.

The little sister gave him an angry look, turned around and went into the house, took out a wet towel, handed it to him to wipe his hands and mouth.

After the second uncle wiped the chicken blood from his hands and mouth, he smiled embarrassedly at me and my little sister.

"Oh," cried the little girl, stamping her foot in anger, "and you still have blood on your teeth." As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe and wiped the blood from his teeth directly with his hands, and after wiping it, he seemed to have a sense of accomplishment and grinned.

The second uncle joked to the little sister: "Xiaoyan, when will you be as tall as your father." ”

In our family, the second uncle is the highest. Erniang often joked that the second uncle was very talented when he was young, and many girls in several nearby villages wanted to marry him, but in the end, no one robbed Erniang. Erniang is not very tall, but her eyebrows and eyes are very good-looking, and when she was young, she was also a well-known beauty.

The little sister is genetically biased towards Erniang, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, extremely beautiful, and a smile looks delicate and beautiful. She basically inherited all the advantages of the second uncle and second mother in appearance, but she did not inherit the height of the second uncle, although she is not short, about 1.6 meters tall, but seeing the tall and tall female stars on TV, she is sometimes a little depressed. This point is often laughed at by the second uncle.

Now I heard the second uncle say that he was not as tall as him, and the little sister was also speechless, and said angrily: "Dad, you are less proud, I am only seventeen years old now, and I will definitely be taller than you in the future." ”

Looking at the way their father and daughter laughed, the strangeness in my heart gradually faded.

I think, there are many people in this world who drink raw chicken blood, what's the big deal if the second uncle tastes it, don't think nonsense.

However, this peace in my heart was soon broken by my second uncle's actions.

When eating, looking at a large plate of spicy chicken with fragrant **, the second uncle was originally full of interest and appetite, but when he ate a piece of spicy chicken, his face suddenly changed, and then he bent down without warning, vomiting in his mouth, as if he was going to spit out the chicken he ate.

Erniang and Xiaomei and I looked strange, and hurriedly asked what was wrong with the second uncle.

After retching a few times, the second uncle raised his head, his face was ugly, and he didn't answer our words.

My heart jumped slightly, remembering what happened at Boss Hong's house in Shiyaba yesterday evening, when I heard the second uncle snorting in the mourning hall, and then when he came out, he covered his chest with his hands, and his face was pale.

"What the hell is going on in that hall?" I thought worriedly, "Is the second uncle injured in something?" ”

I was worried about the second uncle, but I also knew that I couldn't tell Erniang and Xiaomei about the lion's tooth dam, so I couldn't help but ask.

The second uncle didn't eat another piece of spicy chicken, and after he hurriedly finished eating the rice, he put down the bowl and stopped eating.

Erniang worriedly asked him if he was not feeling well and if he wanted to go to the street to see a doctor. The second uncle just said that it was okay, but he didn't have an appetite, and he didn't say much, and then walked out of the house alone.

Although we are worried about the second uncle, we will still think about the good side of everything, we think that the second uncle is just too tired to do things in the morning and has a bad appetite, so we don't think too much. Besides, the second uncle's spirit is not bad, and he doesn't look like he's sick.

I thought this matter was over, but I didn't expect that during dinner, the second uncle behaved abnormally again. He was very resistant to such a greasy dish as spicy chicken, and could only barely eat some light vegetarian dishes. He also used cold tea to make rice, and he ate snoring, but it was a lot smoother.

This kind of situation has not been in the past, and I am very puzzled with Erniang and Xiaomei.

Seeing that the second uncle only ate a bowl of cold tea and then stopped eating, Erniang finally couldn't help it, and forced the second uncle to ask if he was unwell, if he was uncomfortable, don't hide it, and go to the doctor as soon as possible. In order to save money, many rural people have this habit, and when they feel unwell, they do not think about seeing a doctor and taking medicine, but endure it to see if they can heal themselves. In many cases, minor illnesses and pains can be cured by themselves, but there are also some minor illnesses that become the tragedy of terminal illness.

Erniang is worried that the second uncle will hide his illness in order to save money and delay treatment.

Under the pressure of Erniang, the second uncle still looked silent. Erniang was in a hurry, he suddenly became annoyed and scolded Erniang again and again. Erniang was so angry that she cried, and as soon as she heard Erniang crying, the momentum on the second uncle's body suddenly withered, and he sat down with a gloomy expression, and whispered that he was willing to go to the doctor and let Erniang accompany him.

Hearing that he was willing to go to the doctor, Erniang stopped crying and hurriedly finished dinner. My little sister and I also finished eating in a hurry, saying that we would accompany my second uncle and second mother to the street, and my second mother did not object, after all, it would be more lively for two more people to walk at night.

So, our family walked down the street ten miles away overnight with a flashlight.

Along the way, the second uncle didn't speak much, and when the wild dogs passing by saw him, they all ran away with their tails between their legs, whining and wailing.

Erniang and Xiaomei thought it was me, and they didn't suspect anything. I was indeed very strange, and the vicious dogs in the village didn't dare to be presumptuous when they saw me, so I thought it was my reason at the time, and I didn't think much about it.

When I came to the street, the doctor at the health center diagnosed the second uncle and told us that there was no major problem with the second uncle, but that he was a little weak, and prescribed some medicines, and told the second mother to make more delicious food for the second uncle.

After receiving the doctor's diagnosis, we were much more relieved. Following the doctor's instructions, after walking out of the health center, Erniang said that she was going to buy some supplements for her second uncle, and she didn't know what to buy, so she simply bought some and spent a lot of money. After returning home, Erniang asked the second uncle to eat those supplements, but the second uncle was very resistant, and after reluctantly eating some, he said that he would not eat anything. Erniang was very angry, saying that the second uncle who bought the tonic didn't eat it, and it was really a waste of money. No matter how angry Ren Erniang was, the second uncle just lowered his head and kept silent.

Erniang was so angry that she was helpless, and in a fit of anger, she gave me and my little sister all the supplements.

I'm worried, and it's not good to eat supplements. While Erniang and Xiaomei went to the kitchen to boil water, I looked at my second uncle with a serious face and asked him if he was injured at Boss Hong's house in Shiyaba. Erniang and Xiaomei were not present, and the second uncle became a lot more cooperative, and he was willing to talk to me calmly, but when it came to it, he didn't tell me clearly whether he was injured or not. I pressed him up, and he told me very solemnly that he didn't have anything to do, just a little uncomfortable.

"Not adapting to what?" I listened to it in my heart, and looked at the second uncle in a daze, inexplicably a little creepy, and couldn't speak.

"Xiao Yu," the second uncle looked at me with a quiet expression, his voice was a little gentle, and said, "The second uncle is really fine, don't ask me anything in the future, so as not to worry about your second mother and little sister." ”

I finally asked if my second uncle was really okay, and he nodded affirmatively and smiled embarrassedly at me.

"Why does the second uncle have an embarrassed smile?" I was puzzled. But I don't want to be too pessimistic about everything, subconsciously I still believe that the second uncle is really fine, and gradually suppress the uneasiness in my heart.

This night, the dogs of the entire Yunlong Dam barked loudly and in horror again, endlessly. In the middle of the night, I was woken up and couldn't sleep anymore, so I simply got up and walked out of the house.

The moonlight is like a promise, shrouding the Yunlong Dam, like a silver-white light veil.

If it weren't for the barking dogs barking frantically near and far, there would be a beautiful and peaceful mountain village at night. The frightened barking of dogs ruined all this, and I heard a faint voice nearby, as if my uncles, who had been woken up by the barking of dogs like me.

I didn't have the leisure to say hello to them, I stood quietly for a while, and suddenly a night breeze blew, and I felt an inexplicable chill, and I couldn't help but fold my arms and plan to go back to the house. But just then, I suddenly heard a strange movement from the pigsty on the left side of the yard, like the clucking sound of a toad in a flash.
