Chapter 19: The Wu Family Is Haunted

When I returned to the seat pointed by the head teacher and made eye contact with Duan Lin, I could see her somewhat complicated eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Duan Lin!"

"My name is Ye Linlin!"

Who knew that when I greeted me with a hot face, what I met was Duan Lin's cold response, this kind of indifference is not the same as the previous shyness, this kind of indifference seems to come out of my bones, I don't think I will see it for a few months, the little girl who was originally sitting in front of me will blush and be shy when she sees me is gone in a blink of an eye, as if I woke up from that nightmare, everything has changed.

The days that followed were dull but fulfilling, going to school during the day and eating at home, while at night I walked back to my master's comfortable home, and Duan Lin, no, now Ye Linlin, was still indifferent to me, except for the occasional tutoring session I pulled down, we didn't have any conversation, and I also found that she didn't seem to do this deliberately against me, and the same was true for the rest of the class, even if it was a girl.

She never plays with her classmates, listens carefully in class, sits on the table and reads silently after class, I have also observed, almost until the holidays, she has never been to our commissary to buy things, every time she gets out of school, she is picked up by a well-dressed old man, his grandfather I have seen, and the old man is not his grandfather.

After less than two months of classes, the Spring Festival came quietly, I folded the final report card into four folds and put it in my trouser pocket, looked at the commissary opposite the school, and hurriedly walked away.

No need to ask, I completely failed the final exam, I just passed the language, and the math was half of the difference. If I take this score home and don't get beaten to death by my father, it means that he loves me!

The heart circled around the school gate, and the heart was horizontal, yes, or go back to the house first, the master knows my situation, I have been pulling the class for half a semester, and it is already good to be able to take these exams, I can only hope that the master will accompany me back on a whim at that time, with him, my father naturally does not dare to do it.

I made up my mind to go out of the city, but as soon as I turned around, I saw Ye Linlin talking to the old man who picked her up, and I couldn't hear it clearly when it was too far away, I only saw the old man taking something out of the satchel he was carrying, I moved a few steps forward, and then I saw clearly, it turned out that the old man was digging out a small filial piety clothes, Ye Linlin obediently stretched out her hands, just like that, put the filial piety clothes on, this scene reminded me of Ye Linlin's parents.

Speaking of this girl, this girl is also pitiful, her father died unexpectedly and tragically, and her mother actually stole her second uncle, and this is not satisfied, she has to hook up with ruffians like Anwa, as a result, in just one month, both parents died, the second uncle died tragically, and only the elderly grandparents were left in the family, and what is even more pitiful is that the sadness in the family has not dissipated, but the rumors in the village have arrived, everyone says that her mother is a vixen, everyone says that her father is ghostly, and everyone says that her second uncle is shameless.

Thinking about Ye Linlin's affairs all the way, before I knew it, I had arrived on the mountain, and the master lazily collapsed on the bamboo chair outside as usual, and when he saw me come back, he just smiled with half-squinted eyes.

Seeing that the master didn't ask me about my test results, my heart suddenly relaxed half, and when I was about to enter the house, I didn't expect the master to speak.

"I don't blame you for not doing well in the exam this time, I took half a semester class, which is understandable. Rest early after taking a medicinal bath today, and go out with me tomorrow. ”

As soon as I heard it, I immediately came to the spirit, the master has not come down the mountain since SC came back, even the ghost second seems to have disappeared, this is good, isn't it going to take me out again, hehe nodded, and asked the master:

"Master, where are we going this time?"

"Wujiabao!"

After listening to this, Wujiabao? Aren't you going far away? I couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.

This Wujiabao is not far away, out of the county all the way to the west, do not need to turn, to the first village, is Wujiabao, because it is relatively close to the county seat, so, the children of Wujiabao are almost all in the county to go to school, the ability to rely on ability, the relationship by the relationship! Anyway, each by means and by his own magic.

And this Wujiabao is also a gathering place for big surnames, and almost all the people in the village have the surname Wu. What are you doing in Wujiabao this dignified way, seeing that the master closed his eyes again, I was embarrassed to ask more, and I went back to the house with a sound.

Early in the morning of the second day, I and the master packed up the park, the two of us went down the foot of the mountain, and saw a black Santana 2000, which was parked on the side of the road with a fire, and at this moment I saw the master and I coming down from the mountain, and the door of the cab was opened.

Good fellow, it's really generous, I've seen this cigarette in the commissary at home, and it's twice as expensive as the golden monkey.

"Ghost master early, I am Wu Sanshui from the county land bureau, and I was introduced by County Magistrate Zhang."

The man's mouth was about to crack to the cheeks, and after introducing himself, he said to the master, 'Please!' The master walked two steps, just as I followed, this Wu Sanshui saw me come over, also smiled, stuffed a pack of white rabbit toffee into my hand, did not speak, and opened the door of the back seat for me, then returned to the cab, and then the car flew towards the city.

I'm wondering, this Wu Jiabao should be going out of the city, why did he come to the city again, only to hear this Wu Sanshui speak again.

"Now that the family is also eating, we can simply eat here to save trouble."

Anyway, park the car in front of a restaurant called Lao Shaanxi Baobao, it is the morning meal, this restaurant seems to be quite famous, crowded, a team on the left to buy tickets, a team on the right to cut meat, and inside is a round table, full of diners.

This mutton steamed bun is the oldest specialty snack in the land of Qinchuan! The most important thing is to eat a soup, and the steamed bun is also quite exquisite, not any steamed bun can be soaked, the general big bun soaked in, sucking too much soup, either being soaked and broken, or eating soup is too much and salty, only authentic Qianzhou pot helmet! It is just right to soak it out, fragrant on the outside and crispy on the inside, and then accompanied by a plate of pickled pepper and sweet garlic, and then drink a bowl of mutton soup after eating, it is simply a pleasure!

"Fourth, bring us three servings of mutton, two plates of pickled peppers and two plates of sugar and garlic, and a meat dish!"

Wu Sanshui shouted to the master who cut the meat, regardless of whether the other party heard it or not, opened the door and let my master and me in, and then took us up to the second floor to find a private room to sit down, and then went downstairs.

Good guy, I didn't look straight in the eyes, this pile of things is full of snacks except for a bottle of liquor and a pack of cigarettes. When I think about it, I admire this man's way of doing things.

I saw him snort, bit off the liquor with his teeth, poured a glass at my master, and poured a glass at himself, then opened the cigarette and handed it to the master, and then took another one for himself, and then pushed the cigarette case to the master's hand, as for the snacks, he hula pushed, and all pushed them in front of me.

He didn't give you a piece of candy like others to say his own number for a long time, and let you admit his affection, but it was very inadvertent, and you didn't even notice it, you just ate and drank his things without feeling embarrassed.

I don't care about these as a child, anyway, the sky is falling, there is a master, I opened it with a bag of potato chips, and I ate it, and the master smoked a cigarette with this Wu Sanshui, touched a cup, and the two talked to each other, but it was a conversation, in fact, almost all of them were Wu Sanshui talking, and the master was just a listener.

Originally, I didn't care about it, but when I heard the words 'dead' and 'grave', my eating mouth immediately stopped, and I put my mind on Wu Sanshui, who was telling the story. The man did not shy away from me, and after pouring another glass of wine for the master, he said:

"My mother died in the provincial hospital because of a tumor, the first few days of the funeral were fine, but there was a problem after three days, several cousins of our wake-alive are now scared several times almost every night, these days they are worried that they can't eat and sleep, and they have invited a few gentlemen to come and see, but these gentlemen don't say a word and turn around and leave, this is really no way, so I asked the county magistrate Zhang to come forward and invite you, I ......"

As he was talking, the door of the box creaked and was pushed open from the outside, and Wu Sanshui immediately stopped, it turned out that the waiter brought the steamed bun.

After the three of us had breakfast and got back into the car, the car finally headed out of the city, and in less than ten minutes, Santana stopped firmly in front of a large house.

This house is much more magnificent than the house next door, the two large black iron doors are now open, the walls are all pasted with white porcelain tiles, a simple mourning shed is erected outside the gate, and a row of wreaths are placed on both sides of the road.

It's just that I don't know if it's because we came early or for other reasons, but the originally lively white things are extremely deserted here at the moment. I can't hear the cry of filial sons and grandsons, I can't hear the sound of the horn, I can't even see a few people, I look along the street, almost the door of the house is locked, and I don't know whether to sleep at home, or go out and not at home.

Watching me and the master back and forth like this, Wu Sanshui embarrassedly handed the master a cigarette and explained:

"Don't hide it from the master, the people in the village have been scared by my family in the past few days, most of them have taken the whole family to live in a relative's house, and we are filial sons and grandsons who have no choice, they are still staying in the village at the moment, and they were scared last night, and they are still making up for sleep."

The master sighed, and then walked into the house, I looked into the room, and saw a little girl on the dining table with her head bowed to eat, wearing a filial piety dress and a filial piety hat, although she was facing away from me, but I could still see at a glance that this little girl was my tablemate! Ye Linlin!

Before I could say anything, Wu Sanshui next to me spoke first and shouted at Ye Linlin.

"Linlin, where is your grandfather!"

Ye Linlin heard someone calling her from behind, so she quickly turned around and called 'Dad', and then saw me again, with an unbelievable expression in her eyes, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Don't talk about Ye Linlin, even I am frozen at the moment. She actually called Wu Sanshui's father! What the hell is going on, just as my head was as big as a bucket, Ye Linlin pointed to the room behind me and said softly:

"Grandpa just fell asleep, let me watch here, and when you come back, go and call him."

Wu Sanshui looked at my master embarrassedly, and wanted to wake up the old man, but he seemed to be a little unbearable, this old man had just been widowed, and he was frightened again and again, and he finally slept for a while at this moment, how could he bear to wake him up as a son. Just as he was hesitating, the master waved his hand at Wu Sanshui and said:

"Forget it, let your father sleep a little longer, it's daytime anyway, it's not a big deal."

The master said this, but walked towards Ye Linlin, who was standing at the dinner table.

"This girl is about the same size as my apprentice, how many years is she in the grade?"

Ye Linlin seemed to be a little afraid of the master, and stepped back a few steps back, her frightened expression was indescribable, and her little face immediately turned pale.

"Oh, 7 years old, first grade, by the way, Linlin, why don't you say hello when your classmates come."

Wu Sanshui stepped forward and touched Linlin's head, his eyes were a little complicated, and for me, he obviously did his homework before coming, and he actually knew that I was Linlin's classmate.

As for Wu Sanshui, Linlin didn't resist so much, but she didn't react too much, just glanced at me again, lowered her head, took a step back, and didn't speak again.

Wu Sanshui had some apologies in his eyes, smiled and explained:

"I'm really sorry, this child is also pitiful, his parents are dead, and our family is a distant relative, looking pitiful, my mother came forward, and let this child pass to our family, usually by me. Don't mind, Master Ghost, this child has a soft temperament and doesn't like to talk, especially these days, there are fewer words, maybe her grandmother is gone, she is also sad, hey......"

As I was talking, there was a coughing sound from the back room, and then I heard a squeak, and an old man came out of it, and I looked at it, this old man was none other than the old man who picked up Linlin from school every day!
