83. The deceased
I didn't dare to answer him easily, because he always gave me a feeling that the person who came was not good, he suddenly asked this sentence, it should be aware of the coffin parked on the north wing of my house, this matter grandma specially told me, no one can say, now he is an outsider suddenly asked like this, I was surprised that it was too late, how could I answer his words.
I pretended to be confused and said, "Since you know this, you should be able to see that there are some sneaky things in my house, and the coffin you are talking about should be a coffin array at the bottom of the well." ”
He repeated my words: "The coffin array at the bottom of the well? ”
After saying that, he pondered for another second or two. Then he asked me, "Are there six mouths buried vertically in the ground around the perimeter, and the seventh mouth is laid flat in the center?" ”
I saw that he was so accurate, even if he understood this, but the coffin array was not just that. It made me feel uneasy that he was so accurate that I asked him, "How do you know?" ”
He ignored me, but asked another question. He said, "No, it shouldn't be, if it's such a coffin, I can't be unaware." When I came in, I didn't see that your house had such a feng shui pattern. ”
I didn't know how to answer him, after all, he said it so professionally, so I had to say, "Didn't you just say that there is a coffin in my house, didn't you say that there is a coffin in this well?" ”
He shook his head. He said, "I've had a faint smell of this thing since I came into your room, and I want to connect it with the dead breath in you, but I can't tell where it is. ”
Hearing him say that this thing smelled the same as me, I estimated that it should be the coffin where the dead baby was placed, I was afraid that there would be some flaws in my words, so I didn't dare to answer his words again, he himself was silent for a while, and then asked me: "Did you touch that coffin and break its feng shui pattern?" ”
I said, "When we found it, there was one less coffin inside, and it seems that the feng shui pattern has long been broken." ”
He pondered the message I had given and said to himself, "It's no wonder if it's missing." ”
As he groaned, I asked him again, "Where did you come from, you don't know who you are, you can't even know where you came from, do you?" ”
He really felt this way, and then he said, "I don't remember, I just remember that I chased a dead soul here, and I don't remember anything from before." The earliest thing I can remember is when I saw the ghost at the bridge of your village. ”
I thought it was incredible, because according to his memory, he clearly looked like a giant baby who had just been born, and I was surprised and asked him, "If you only remember such a small thing, how do you know about Eleven?" ”
"I don't know," he said. But my memory tells me to find him. ”
Hearing him say this, I suddenly had a thought, I disappeared in the middle of the night, maybe it was because this person was coming, right?
I asked him again, "What about the ghost you're chasing?" Did you find it? ”
He said: "After it entered your house, it disappeared, and I told you about the rest of it, and I saw the corpse enter your room, and I followed it in, and the door of your courtyard was open, and there were corpses walking, I thought that no one in your house lived in a deserted house, but your house was indeed like a house, and there was no breath of a living person." ”
Although he didn't like what he said, it was also an indisputable fact, and I didn't answer him, but looked at the corpse in the black hole on the ground. Then he said, "This corpse can't just let it lie on the ground, what is next?" ”
He said: "The corpse itself will not leave, there is always something attached to it before the corpse will rise, but just now I have been looking at it, but I have not found anything in the corpse, this is the most puzzling, just now it is obviously talking to you, and this is obviously impossible." Because corpses cannot speak. ”
I didn't think about it so much, after all the things that had happened in my family, it was no longer a fuss for me to talk to the corpse, so I said to him, "She won't hurt me, even if she turns into a corpse, she probably wants to tell me something." ”
"It doesn't matter what it says to you, it's why it speaks," he said. ”
It was not a question that I could answer, so I didn't answer him again, and now I was faced with the question of what to do with the person in front of me, and I asked him, "Where are you going to go after that?" ”
He obviously had no such intentions, and he said, "Eleven's breath will eventually disappear into your family's mansion, and I will wait for him here for the best way." ”
The implication of his words is to live in my house, not that I don't receive him, but I can't be the master at all, I don't know what my parents and grandmother will think when they know that such a person suddenly appeared in the family for no reason, so I temporarily comforted him and said: "If you really have nowhere to go, you can stay in our house first, and then go to him when there is news of Eleven." ”
After that, about Huaxiu's body, he and I carried Huaxiu's body to the north wing, after all, the bed quilt that wrapped the body was still there, but we moved too much and woke up my parents, they thought something was happening, and they also heard the sound of talking in my room, so they got up, and just happened to bump into me and this person carrying Huaxiu's body to the eaves. My dad asked me, "Wood, what are you doing here, and who is this person?" ”
He found that there was one more person in the family for no reason, so he asked, and suddenly my mother screamed and called my father's name: "Yongyan!" ”
As my mom shouted, I saw my dad's face change instantly, and he stared at the man in front of me and asked him in an almost completely unbelievable tone, "Yongning, are you a poet or a ghost?" ”
Yongning is my uncle's name, I looked at the person in front of me, he turned out to be my uncle?!
I don't have any impression of my uncle because he died early, and my grandmother put away all his photos after he died, so I don't know what he looks like, so even if we talked face-to-face just now, I didn't recognize him at all, if my parents hadn't seen it, I'm afraid I would have thought he was a stranger.
It's just that my uncle doesn't remember that he is from this family. Instead, I looked at my parents stupidly, I didn't know what was going on, I saw that my parents' emotions fluctuated greatly, so I comforted them and said, "My father and my mother, he is human." ”
My dad immediately said: "How is this possible, your uncle is obviously dead and almost your age, how can he still ......"
Soon the grandmother was also woken up, and when she saw the uncle, she also looked incredible, thinking that the uncle's ghost had returned, until she knew that it was a person standing in front of her and not a ghost, and she suddenly cried bitterly, and it felt like a long-lost child had finally returned home.
But he looked at me with a puzzled look on his face, and I said to him, "Maybe that's why there are dead souls who lead you to our house." ”
After that, we settled Hua Xiu's body, just like Uncle told me in my room before, all his memories ended up at the bridge head of our village, as for the previous events. He had forgotten about it, and after a while he said, "It does feel familiar to me, like something buried in my memory, I just can't remember it." ”
As soon as he said this, my grandmother even more convinced that he was an uncle, but because he was resurrected from the dead, his memory was gone. I know that the thing that my grandmother has been unable to let go of is the death of my uncle, and now that my uncle suddenly appeared in front of her, how could she not recognize this son, so even if my parents had some questions, they didn't dare to say it, my father just said: "It's good to be back, no matter what the reason, you just need to live." ”
It's just that the upstairs room is no longer used at all, so grandma temporarily let him live in my room, grandma said that she will wait for tomorrow she to renovate his room and then let him live there, I heard it and was anxious, I said, "I can't live upstairs." ”
What's upstairs, I'm afraid I'm really the only one in this house who knows best.
Before I could finish speaking, I suddenly heard my uncle say, "I remember that there is a wooden box in my room, and I don't know if it's still there." ”
