Chapter 9: The Man Who Didn't Die
was frightened by the sudden appearance of a big face.
When he looked at it in shock, he immediately scolded: "Liu Lian, you big mallet!" Melon peel! It's scary to hit ghosts in the middle of the night, right? ”
The face with a gloomy smile behind the window, immediately removed the light, and became stupid, I pushed open the window, this big man with a flashlight is my hair and junior high school classmates, I haven't seen him much since the high school entrance examination, many times I came back and heard that he went to work outside, even if he turned to ashes after a few years, I know him.
He is five big and three thick, if you don't laugh, you still feel like a man, but when you laugh, it's all exposed, not only laughing, but also a little too real, often can't turn around, and if you don't hear it, it's three words: brainless.
When he laughs, he is also simple, so I often call him Hanzi.
"Hanzi, how do you know I'm home? Didn't you go to work outside? I asked.
Hanzi picked his scalp and said with a smile: "I came back two days ago, and I have been at home, and when you came back during the day today, I stood on the edge of the field and saw you, but your grandfather just passed away, and my mother won't let me come to you." ”
"So you sneaked here at night?" I asked him to give me his mobile phone number so that I could save it for easy contact, and then said, "Come in and sit down for a while?" It's been years since we've bragged about shells together. ”
Hanzi was just about to speak, and the voice of the third grandfather suddenly sounded in the courtyard: "Yunshen, who are you talking to in the middle of the night, why don't you sleep?" ”
"Oh no, my third grandfather is here, if he knows that your baby came in over the wall, he will definitely break your dog's legs. Let's go, I'll come over tomorrow morning and I'll go to the town with you. I turned my head to look at him, and there was no one in front of me.
"This guy is a dog. Run so fast! ”
With that, I turned off the lights and shouted outside, "Just go to sleep." ”
I don't know what the third grandfather muttered outside, but I heard his footsteps gradually walk away, and I re-covered the quilt and fell asleep.
When I woke up early the next morning, it was already dark outside.
After washing up and having breakfast, I went out to Liu Xuan's house, and saw Aunt Liu sweeping the floor in front of the door with a broom from a distance, and walked over and shouted: "Where's the son?" ”
At this time, Aunt Liu raised her head, and I saw that her eyes were red and swollen as if she had cried, "What's wrong?" As a result, Aunt Liu ignored me, turned around and dragged the broom into the house, making me quite embarrassed to stay in place.
"Last night, I had a fight with my mom." Hanko didn't know when he was standing behind me.
I saw that he also seemed to have a sullen expression, and I couldn't help but enlighten: "What is there to quarrel with your mother, you look at my parents, what virtue the village people also know, but have you ever seen me quarrel with them?" Let's let it go, after all, they are all relatives, let's go out together to relax. ”
"I'm afraid not, when I came from the old bamboo forest just now, I heard that someone was going to your third grandfather, it seems that something happened in the cemetery." Hanzi still said sullenly.
Something went wrong? I reacted in my heart, couldn't it be that Grandpa's coffin was pried open? No, hurry up and take a look, thinking, hurriedly ran towards the old bamboo forest, and Hanzi also followed me and said, "Yunshen, there is something I don't know whether to say or not." ”
I'm in no mood to listen to him now, and I waved at him without saying a word. While talking, the two of us had already come to the entrance of the bamboo forest, and there were a few people surnamed Li standing around, squeezing them out, and when we got inside, we saw the third grandfather standing on the top of the grandfather's grave smoking with a blue face.
"What happened to the coffin?"
I ran over and asked, my eyes moved to the exposed coffin, only to see that the coffin had been lifted out and thrown to the ground, and the coffin lid had already been removed and put aside.
"Where's my grandfather?"
I looked at the third grandfather with red eyes, "Didn't you say that my grandfather died?" Why is there a big rock in it? What about his corpse? Did the second grandfather turn around and open the coffin again? ”
The third grandfather was smoking by himself, perhaps impatient with my staring, so he spoke: "I guess it's the second brother, I underestimated him." Li Chaoyang, I underestimated the second brother, and there are some things that I really can't hide from him. ”
I don't care if you divide the soil or not, I feel like I know what's going on, who the hell has the leisure to guess riddles in it.
"There are some things, it's inconvenient here, I'll go back and talk about your grandfather's grave later." After speaking, the third grandfather asked several people in the village to help reclose the coffin, put it vertically in the grave and start filling the soil.
I turned back to Hanzi and said, "It seems that I can't go out with you today, I'll contact you when I'm free." ”
Hanzi nodded and said, "If you have something to do, be busy, I'll come to you later, or call you." ”
At this time, the third grandfather turned to look at me, and then looked at Hanzi, his expression was a little strange. Seeing this, I said, "This Liu Xuan, don't you know each other?" ”
The third grandfather nodded and turned back to continue working, and said behind our backs: "How do you know, it's just that it's been too long, how can you remember, you go back first, and I'll come back when I'm done." ”
I wanted to help, but the third grandfather insisted on letting me go back first, saying that there was nothing left here. In this case, I didn't stay here, and after separating from Liu Xuan, I went back to the old house to watch TV for a while, and when it was close to noon, the third grandfather came back.
Sitting on the dilapidated sofa in the hall, the third grandfather said straight to the point: "Your grandfather is not dead!" ”
"Not dead? If he didn't die, what kind of funeral would you throw him? Where did he go? "I can't help but feel very strange, why I don't feel like I can understand all this.
The third grandfather shook his head, not as depressed as yesterday, "Your grandfather left a note for me, and didn't say anything else, telling me to do what he did, as if my brother was going to accomplish something." ”
"And did my grandfather say where he was going?" I asked worriedly, "He's almost seventy, how can he still toss around like this, and he still uses the trick of pretending to be dead, which is similar to what he played in the TV series." ”
The third grandfather said, "I don't know, when I left, I didn't even see anyone." I guess he went to that place, though! ”
I said to him in unison: "Shaanxi! ”
"Third grandpa, taking advantage of the holiday, I'm going to look for it!" When I thought of the first time I left home to go to high school in the county, the lonely old man who said goodbye to me slowly on crutches made me feel uncomfortable.
Not to mention the zombie eyeballs he risked his life to get for me, I'm not a materialist, I only believe in what the eye sees, so I can't let an old man go alone in a mountain full of dangers.
Hearing what I said, the third grandfather suddenly laughed, "This is like our Li family, your parents will be handled by an old man like me, and I will tell you the specific location when the time comes." ”
After explaining, I picked up my mobile phone and booked a train ticket from Chengdu to Shaanxi.
