Chapter 4 Asking for Life at the Grave

I listened to my father scolding there, and I didn't dare to speak, so I walked quietly all the way home, and I couldn't sleep at all when I lay in bed.

Because I could smell the earthy smell on the bed, as if my mother had always been by my side and had not left.

I tossed and turned, couldn't sleep, and sat there until dawn.

By the next morning, my grandfather and the others had not returned, and I was very worried, and I was like ants crawling in my heart, and I was very tormented. So I went to the village entrance early in the morning to wait for my grandfather.

Grandpa said he would come back.

The people in the village are busy with the funeral of the third uncle, the third uncle's family conditions are not good, and he has no money to ask Mr. Yin and Yang to do things, so he will be buried overnight.

At this time, the village was very deserted, and I walked alone in the village, and not long after, a neighbor's aunt suddenly saw me and beckoned me to come over.

After I walked over, the lady touched my head and gave me a boiled egg, and when she saw that there was no one around, she pulled me aside and said to me, "Ziyang, let me tell you something, you must not be afraid." ”

I smiled: "Auntie, what can I be afraid of?" I patted myself on the chest. "I'm a man. ”

My aunt touched my head: "Last night, my aunt got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and I saw you running alone in the direction of the back mountain, when my aunt shouted you a lot, but you didn't hear it, and my aunt saw it on TV, saying that this is sleepwalking, are you sick?" Still is...... Hit the devil? ”

When the aunt looked at me, with scrutiny in her eyes, I felt that the aunt must be inclined to the first one, and the argument that she was sick was just to comfort me.

I coughed and frowned, this is unlikely, I had been dreaming last night, either my aunt had lost her eyes, or I was really sleepwalking.

I was pondering how to answer, when I heard the girl continue: "Then I could not catch up with you, so I came back, but when I came back, I saw a man lying outside your window. ”

I have goosebumps, and I have to say that this aunt really has a talent for storytelling.

An ugly smile tugged at the corner of my mouth, and I looked at my aunt and said, "Like whom?" It can't be someone I know. ”

"Wei Laosan." When the aunt spoke, a weird smile tugged at the corner of her mouth: "Isn't it strange that you say this?" ”

"But isn't Wei Laosan already dead?" I coughed, and suddenly realized that I was taken into the ditch by my aunt: "Isn't my third uncle dead?" ”

"It's strange here, after I saw it last night, I was so scared that I went back immediately, and I tried to scream, guess what? Wei Laosan turned his head, I definitely didn't admit it. As she spoke, the aunt seemed to be frightened, and kept touching her arms with her hands.

I couldn't laugh or cry.

But it was said by the aunt that it was hairy.

Anyone who happens to this will feel uncomfortable, let alone me.

I frowned and looked at my aunt, thinking that she couldn't have lied to me for no reason, but what happened last night was too weird? And every time Wei Laosan appears, my mother will be by his side, if every time is a coincidence, this is too coincidental.

When I was frightened, the aunt touched my hand and handed me a piece of pastry in distress, but she didn't put it in my hand, but sent it directly to my mouth: "You child is so pitiful, your mother died so early, and now such a big thing has happened in the house, doing evil, but you little skin monkey, what are you crazy about going outside all day?" Even so much mud on your hands? ”

When my aunt said this, I looked at the mud on my hands with a puzzled expression.

No way, after my dad and I reburied my mother last night, I quickly went back to my room, and since I couldn't sleep, I took a shower.

It's clean all over the body.

But how can I have so much mud on my hands? And it's still yellow mud.

This kind of yellow mud can only be found in the mountains behind the village, so could it be that I really sleepwalked in the middle of the night?

I said goodbye to my aunt, ate a few pastries by the way, and finally sat at the entrance of the village and waited for my grandfather.

I don't want to go back, I meet my drunken father, I don't know if he gets drunk and beats me, I might as well wait here for my grandfather to come back.

However, I waited for a day, but I didn't see my uncle and grandfather come back, and finally I could only return home dejected, and I thought about asking my father to call my grandfather.

But as soon as I went back, my father said to me: "I just buried your mother yesterday, let's go to worship today, let your mother enter the earth for peace, you prepare for me, and go up the mountain with Lao Tzu." ”

I nodded, prepared some offerings and funeral items, and went out with my father.

At that time, it was dusk, and the peasants outside returned from work, and after some people met my father, they greeted him: "Wei Laosi, tell me what kind of woman you learn to walk as a big man, you just don't have high heels with your feet?" ”

The man also posed an orchid finger when he spoke, and he almost made me laugh out loud.

My dad yelled at the man coldly, "Get out." ”

The man was bored with himself, far away, and listened to him muttering: "You walk weirdly, can't you let others talk about it?" A dead wife is like a dead mother. ”

The people in the village have broken mouths and speak unpleasantly.

However, as soon as the man mentioned it, I suddenly realized that something was wrong with my father.

When my dad was walking, he turned around. He throws his left hand when he takes a left step, and shakes his right hand when he sells a right step, and he is holding his feet as if he is dancing ballet, and he walks with extraordinary elegance.

I looked funny at first.

But when you look at it, you feel that something is wrong.

Because at this time, my dad looks like a robot.

Or like a puppet.

I stopped, fell behind, my dad turned his head straight, his upper body didn't move at all, he felt like his neck was twisted 180 degrees, turned his head to stare at me and said, "Bunny, what are you doing in a daze?" Don't go yet. ”

I was stared at by my father like this, I was furious, I took two steps back, and hurriedly said to him, "Dad, are you okay?" ”

"What can Lao Tzu do? Hurry up with Lao Tzu and go to the grave of your crazy mother, so that she will not make trouble for us every day. My dad turned his head and heard a crackling sound in his neck.

At this time, Dad looked much more normal, except for the strange walking posture.

My dad told me to walk in front, and he walked behind me with a flashlight, and the flashlight shone yellow in front of me. The halo of color also allows me to see the road ahead.

And my father followed me, and as he walked, the sound of tuk tuk in his footsteps made my scalp tingle to hear it.

When we went up the mountain, it was already completely dark, and there were tall trees everywhere, and there were crows on the trees, and most of the crows were standing on the branches, staring at me, and I don't know if it was my delusion, but I found that the eyes of those crows were red.

My scalp was numb, but I didn't say a word, only the sound of the wind slowly blew in my ears, and it wasn't long before we went up the mountain.

My father lit candles, lit incense, and then said to me: "Take these paper money offerings, kneel in front of your mother's grave, and say that our old Wei family will take good care of you in the future." ”

I nodded, knelt on the ground and burned paper money, and said to my mother's tombstone: "Mother, you go, my father and grandfather will treat me well, I ......"

Before I finished speaking, a sudden wind came, rolling up all the paper money I had burned before, and the ashes of the paper money made me face, and I couldn't help but bow my head.

Just as I was lying on the ground, I suddenly noticed a problem, there were actually three shadows behind me.

In addition to the shadow of me kneeling on the ground, there are two shadows next to me, but there are only two shadows in front of my mother's grave, me and my father, how can my father have two shadows?

The wind was gusting around the cemetery, and all the paper money and paper ashes that had been burned before were all rolled into the air, and I was confused for a while, and I couldn't see clearly.

However, at this moment, I suddenly noticed that the two shadows beside my father quickly merged into one, and then the two shadows grabbed a huge axe and slashed in my direction.

If I hadn't dodged, I'd have had blood splattered on the spot, and my head would have been chopped off by the axe.

I was so frightened that I hurriedly rolled to the side, and the stones on the ground hurt me, and the axe smashed on my mother's tombstone, and sparks flew everywhere.

I weakly called out to Daddy.

But my father was furious and yelled at me: "You rabbit cub, Lao Tzu hacked you to death!" ”

My father missed the axe, rounded his arm again, and slashed in my direction, I was startled, how dare I care so much, and I ran to the side.

But as I walked, I stumbled to the ground, and fell headlong to the ground, and this time I seemed to hear the sound of broken ribs, and I could not get up, and saw that the axe was about to slash at me.

I thought to myself, this must be the end of the calf.

Feeling weak, I closed my eyes, but the next second I didn't feel any pain in my body.

"You shameless turtle grandson, are you going to kill both of us?" Warm blood dripped down my face, but I didn't feel any pain, and when I opened my eyes, I saw my grandfather, standing in front of me, and my grandfather's arm was cut off by my father, and even the bones could be seen.

"Wei Laosi, you shameless brute, Wei Ziyang is your son, and the third master is your father!" My uncle also appeared next to me and grabbed my father's arm.
