After the New Year, the temperature warms up rapidly, spring is quietly coming, the snow has turned into water, the road full of puddles is muddy and difficult to walk, and the water droplets dripping from the eaves are like pearls worn together, constantly falling on the ground, and each pearl-like drop of water will make the puddles on the ground deeper.

And the branches of the big tree in front of the door are secretly puffed up, and when the weather is warmer, they will not hesitate to stretch out the green leaves.

The ducks, who had never been out of the yard all winter, seemed to know that spring had arrived, and swam happily in the puddle at the door, as if they wanted to wash away all the dust that their bodies had praised in the previous winter.

People even left the houses where they had been hiding for the winter, and all went out of their homes to lazily bask in the mild sun on the streets.

And the old man was even happier, because they knew that they had finally survived another cold winter.

But there are also unhappy, although spring is coming, but it did not survive the last few days, so it contains regret to leave this sunny world.

"Ah Qiu!"

I sneezed at the sun, felt the warm sun, and my body was indescribably comfortable, but when my eyes fell on the spiritual shed that had been set up in the courtyard, all the good moods before disappeared, and my face was full of dissatisfaction.

Just this morning, as soon as my grandfather and I finished eating, we came to the last street in the village called Zhong Linghang Middle-aged Man.

When I saw Zhong Linghang's appearance, I knew that he was always looking for something about my grandfather.

As soon as Zhong Linghang entered my house, his face was full of grief and said to my grandfather: "Uncle Gao, hurry up and go to my house to have a look!" My mom doesn't seem to be able to do it anymore! ”

My grandfather was originally brushing the dishes, but when he heard Zhong Linghang's words, he put the unfinished dishes and chopsticks in his hand into the basin, wiped his hands on his clothes and hurriedly said, "Xiao Zhong, don't worry, let's go now!" ”

As soon as I heard Du Zhong's words, I secretly said in my heart: "Sure enough, I guessed it!" So I hurriedly picked up a book on the kang and pretended to read it seriously. I'm afraid my grandfather will ask me to follow him.

However, my grandfather seemed to have seen through my thoughts, and when he entered the house to get dressed, he looked at me looking at the book that he had taken down in his hand, shook his head helplessly, and said angrily: "Gao Tian, the book has been taken down!" ”

As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly turned the book I had taken down and read it carefully again.

Seeing that I was still looking at the book in my hand, ignoring myself, my grandfather said impatiently: "Gao Tian, now are you going to Zhong Ling's house by yourself?" Or shall I carry you with me? ”

Hearing Grandpa's words, I slowly arched my head out of the book, and asked with a twinkle in my eyes, "Grandpa, can I not go!" ”

"No, get me up quickly!" Seeing my appearance, my grandfather walked to the cabinet with anger on his face, picked up an artifact feather duster, pointed at me and shouted.

"I'll go, can't I go?" When I saw my grandfather pick up a feather duster, I had to reluctantly agree.

When my grandfather and Zhong Linghang and I came to his mother's house, there were already many people in the yard, and when the crowd saw my grandfather coming, they took the initiative to get out of the way, and the three of us walked into the house smoothly.

When I entered the house, I saw a skinny old woman with half-squinted eyes lying on the kang, and there were many kittens meowing around the old woman.

Zhong Linghang's mother I know that others call her Mrs. Zou, as for the name I don't know very well, the old lady because her wife died early, and her mouth is still very nagging, so she has always lived alone, Mrs. Zou is very lonely because she lives alone, so she raises a lot of kittens.

And no matter what kind of wild cat it is thin, after he feeds it, it will become fat and flat. Today, these kittens may know that Mrs. Zou is going to die, and they have not gone out to bask in the sun, and their eyes are full of reluctance to wander around Mrs. Zou's side, and whenever someone wants to approach Mrs. Zou, the kittens will make a warning sound.

My grandfather looked at the group of cats around Mrs. Zou, his face changed, and he hurriedly said to Zhong Linghang, who was full of sadness beside him: "Xiao Zhong, hurry up and drive all the cats out, otherwise it will be difficult for your mother to swallow this last breath!" ”

Hearing my grandfather say this, Zhong Linghang didn't care about the group of cats that gave warnings, and hurriedly picked up the broom on the ground and hit the kitten closest to him.

After the cats saw Zhong Linghang pick up the broom, before he could knock it down, they ran out of the house one by one along a specially set hole in the window.

After the cats left, Zhong Linghang asked someone to quickly put on the longevity clothes he had already bought for his mother.

Not long after Mrs. Zou finished wearing her shroud, she swallowed the last breath of unpalatable breath in her mouth and passed away peacefully.

"Gao Tian, what do you want?" Just when I was looking at the shed in a daze, someone behind me pushed me!

I was so frightened by this sudden rise that I turned back to look at the person who was pushing me. When I turned around, I found that the person behind me turned out to be Dali, I gave him a helpless look and said: "Dali, can you say it when you come back behind me, people are scared to death!" ”

"Yo, aren't you usually very bold? What's going on today, I'll give you a gentle push, and look at what scares you! Hearing my words, Dali said with a smile on his face.

"I said vigorously, people are doing funerals, you said when you joked badly, you have to open it now, you are not afraid that Mrs. Zou will get up to find you!"

Listening to my words vigorously, he unconsciously shrunk his neck, the previous joking look on his face disappeared, and he said with a nervous face: "Gao Tian, don't talk nonsense, it's not good for people to hear!" ”

Seeing Erdali's appearance, I knew that he was scared now, so I quickly came behind him while he was looking at the spirit shed and gently patted him on the shoulder.

When my hand slapped on Dali's shoulder, I obviously felt that Dali's body was shaking even more than I had just now, so I sneered: "Dali, you still have the face to say that I am not as good as I just behaved!" ”

Dali heard my voice coming from behind him, turned around, and shouted at me with the fear hidden under the anger on his face: "High heaven, can you not make such a joke here? ”

I listened to Dali's words, shrugged my shoulders, and said, "Dali, how fair it is for you to scare me once, and I scare you once!" ”

After listening to my words, he gave me a blank look, and said helplessly: "Gao Tian, now that the two of us are even, don't make such a joke!" ”

I nodded, and said with a smile on my face: "Okay, I know, I won't be scared of ......" Before I finished speaking, my eyes saw that there was a man dressed in red next to Mrs. Zou's coffin, with a spring breeze on his face, smiling and looking at the busy crowd around him.

Although the man in red kept laughing, I couldn't feel the joy of the man at all, and the hairs on my body stood up for no reason after seeing the man.

"Dali, did you see the man in red next to the coffin?" Just as the hairs on my body stood on end, I pushed the somewhat stunned and asked vigorously.

However, just when my hand was pushing Dali, Dali didn't know what was wrong, and his face turned pale and he was a little unsteady with fright.

Seeing that Dali was about to fall, I hurriedly reached out and helped Dali, and asked puzzledly: "Dali, what did you see, what scared you?" ”

Hearing my words, he vigorously stretched out his slightly trembling right hand, pointed at the man next to the coffin and said: "The man in red, when I looked at the coffin just now, suddenly appeared next to the coffin......" At the end of the speech, Dali's words were a little confused, and even his voice trembled a little.
