Chapter 3: The Wake of the Spirit

When I got home, I didn't dare to mention anything about the woman, and I was afraid that my mother would be even more sad when she found out.

I didn't go on to find out the cause of my father's death, and I can't tell you that the woman who showed up at my house and left with my father has been dead for twenty-five years!

Although this matter is full of suspicions, there is no way to investigate, and the next thing is to be busy with his father's funeral.

Because it is a rural area, my father's funeral shed is set up in the courtyard of my house, and there are many people who come to mourn, after all, our Chen family is a big surname in the village.

Among the people who came to mourn, the saddest one was not my uncle and brother, not relatives and friends, but the daughter of Zhang Haibin, the richest man in the village.

Speaking of Zhang Haibin, he was not from our village at first, but moved to us 20 years ago, listening to the older generation, he came to our village to beg for food because of changes in his family, and he also brought a one-year-old daughter with him.

At that time, Zhang Haibin had no place to live, and he couldn't eat enough, and he couldn't even afford to give his daughter a decent dress.

Perhaps the villagers took pity on the girl in his hand, so the villagers vacated a cave behind the village to store sundries as a shelter for the father and daughter.

Zhang Haibin worked hard to make money after he lived, doing all the hard work, and I don't know when, he began to pour up the wood, and after a few years opened a furniture factory in the village, so it didn't take long for him to become the richest man in our village, and the four-story building at home was extraordinarily glamorous.

Zhang Haibin's daughter is called Zhang Yuemiao, as for why she cried so sadly, it was all because of one person, and that person was me.

Zhang Yuemiao is a mute, when she first came, her family was poor, and she was bullied by the children in the village, maybe out of sympathy, I gave her a few pieces of candy at that time, and played with them a few times, and the impression of a male god was firmly imprinted in the heart of this girl.

This is the second time I have seen Zhang Yuemiao cry so sadly, the first time was when I went to college and left, that time she cried as sad as now, and before leaving, she stuffed me with a diary, which was full of my name and the words that she wanted to marry me.

Seeing Zhang Yuemiao crying so sadly, the people in the village went up to comfort her, but their words did not have the slightest effect on this girl.

The matter between me and Zhang Yuemiao can be said to be well known in the village, and everyone tried their best to persuade Zhang Yuemiao to come down, so they pulled me out.

With my comfort, the innocent girl finally stopped the torrent of tears and leaned into my arms.

I felt a little embarrassed in front of so many people, but I couldn't bear to push this girl away, so I let her hold me tightly until the crowd gradually dispersed.

Regarding the matter between me and Zhang Yuemiao, Zhang Haibin once personally came to the door to propose marriage, but my parents did not agree.

My parents said that although Zhang Yuemiao is not bad, but a mute, I, no matter how bad it is, I am also a college student, although the Zhang family is very rich, but if I marry a mute, how will they meet people in the future, besides, if the mute gene is inherited to their grandchildren, they will not have the face to meet the grandparents underground!

At that time, I had just come back from graduation, and I was in a very bad mood, and there was no trace of eyebrows about raising pigs, so I didn't take this matter to heart, so the matter between me and Zhang Yuemiao was over, but this girl saw me with a resentful look after that time, and it was not until today's funeral that my father came to my home again.

It was getting dark, and the people who came to mourn basically returned home, and in the dim mourning hall, there were only me, Zhang Yuemiao, and Li Ming.

Li Meili still stayed at my house to take care of my mother, my father's death, the blow to her was not a star, although my mother didn't say anything, but I clearly saw the strong longing and remorse from her red and swollen eyes.

The candlelight in the mourning hall flickered on and off, the cyan smoke gently swirled, and the time was almost early in the morning, and I also sent Li Ming back home.

Li Ming and his wife have contributed a lot to the affairs of the family, and they have been running around with me for the past few days, and I think one person is enough to keep the spirit, just let him have a good rest.

The clock at home rang twelve, and I found that Zhang Yuemiao had fallen asleep.

This girl, when she was asleep, still hugged me tightly and buried her whole head in my chest.

Shaking my head lightly and smiling bitterly, I picked up Zhang Yuemiao and walked to the living room at home, I can't sleep with this girl all night!

Just as I was about to step out of the shed, the electric light above my head went out with a bang, and then the flame on the candle suddenly grew to half a meter long, and then also went out.

Holding Zhang Yuemiao, who was already asleep in my arms, I took out a lighter and checked the power supply of the electric light, there was nothing wrong with the power supply, maybe the insurance burned, I thought.

So I took a lighter and went to light the candles in the mourning hall, but I couldn't light the twist soaked in oil.

At this moment, a yellow mist drifted in front of me, and in the mist, my father slowly walked towards me.

"Dad, where have you been, when did you come back, don't you care about me and Mom!" When I saw my father, I cried with joy regardless of whether he was a human or a ghost!

I ran as hard as I could to my father, but no matter how I ran, the distance between me and my father was still difficult to change.

I was very anxious: "Dad, don't go, don't go!" ”

I reached out and pulled my father's arm, but I couldn't touch his body.

At this time, my father spoke, and he was very serious, and only said two words: "Leave, leave!" ”

I have never seen my father so serious and solemn: "Dad, where to leave, are you telling me to leave home?" ”

The father in the fog in front of him, his eyes almost rolled out, and shouted loudly: "Leave, leave!" It was as if he had seen something particularly terrifying, and the roar was deafening.

"Where to leave? Leaving home or village? I anxiously ran forward to grab the corner of my father's clothes, but my father's whole body suddenly shattered like glass.

Seeing this scene, I shouted loudly: "Dad, Dad, come back, don't go, don't!" ”

I felt bloody tears in my eyes, blood running down my cheeks.

Just when I was crying loudly, I was shaken awake, Zhang Yuemiao looked at me with a panicked face, and kept wiping the tears on my face, I looked up, the light above my head was on, the candles in the mourning hall were half-burned, and I was sitting on a soft chair, still holding Zhang Yuemiao in my arms.

Could it be that it was a dream just now, but how could this dream be so real?

I took a look at the mourning hall again, the candles were not extinguished, the electric lights were not broken, and the father on the portrait was still so honest and kind.

Just when I was confused, I suddenly saw Zhang Yuemiao looking nervously ahead.

I turned my head to see a half-human tall weasel standing directly in front of the mourning hall.

Weasel this thing, listening to the older generation, it is the best at performing illusions, usually when stealing chickens and ducks, it uses illusions to confuse its owners and prey, so it always steals chickens and ducks silently.

I remember that the weasels I saw were more than a foot long, and the first time I saw such a big weasel scared me, I looked at it and thought, could it be that this weasel just performed an illusion?

I looked at the weasel and saw that it was not scared at all, I looked at it, and it looked at me.

Rural people don't have a good impression of such animals, they steal chickens and ducks, but fortunately, I don't have these at home, but since it has appeared, I can't pretend to be nothing!

I put Zhang Yuemiao on a chair on the side, picked up a stick and went to chase it, and the weasel saw me running with a weapon, and ran out of my house with a smoke.

I took the stick and drove all the way out, although my family does not raise chickens and ducks, but many families in the village have them, I don't drive it far, in case I go back and go to harm other families, that's not good!

I took the stick and drove it out for two or three miles, and the weasel looked back at me from time to time, and when I saw that it was not frightened, I was very annoyed, and picked up a brick and threw it over.

The weasel was startled by the brick, snorted twice, and ran quickly to the side of the road.

After chasing away the weasels, I noticed that the sky was getting brighter, so I went home and went to work on my father's funeral.

When my father was at the funeral, Zhang Yuemiao cried again, I was very sad, but at this time I endured it and let the tears not flow out of my eyes.

I know that Zhang Yuemiao is not crying for her father, but she feels sorry for me, and she feels sorry for me that no one will take care of me in the future, of course, she will cherish me even more in the future, which is reflected in every little thing in the future.

In order not to let Zhang Yuemiao shed more tears, I didn't cry when my father was at the funeral, because if I wanted to cry, wouldn't she cry even more!

For this reason, I made the villagers despise fiercely, they said that Chen Yonghe raised a son for nothing, and everyone in the village wept, and this son did not shed a single tear.

I don't want to defend the villagers' claims, because after a while, all the rumors will disappear with time.

My father's funeral this time, the only thing that made me feel strange was that Li Ming and his wife didn't come, and Li Meili was not at my home, I remember that I was still there yesterday evening, and I don't know when he left.

It wasn't until about one o'clock that night when I was asleep when I suddenly heard a sharp knock at the door.

The knock on the door was so loud and so urgent that I was startled when I slept like a dead pig.

After a few days of busy affairs at home, I was very tired, and I was awakened at night, so I was very irritable, and opened the door angrily.

The moment I opened the door, a man crashed headfirst into my arms.

"What's the matter, Uncle Wan!" I yawned and held the man who was about to fall, and when I saw that this person was my father's friend, Uncle Wan, most of the anger in my stomach disappeared.

"Xiaofeng, I saw your father, and a woman, and they are on the ridge outside the village!" Wan Shun rubbed his aching head, with a look of horror.

His lips were still trembling when he looked at me, and I could see the fear in his heart from his pale face!

"What, what do you say, how is this possible?" Hearing the news, I was very shocked, staring at Wan Shun with wide eyes and shaking Wan Shun's body.
