"I haven't figured it out yet, but as long as I investigate, I'll soon be able to give a very reasonable explanation." I said.

But Doha didn't give a damn about what I said, and it was at this moment that the fire in the brazier was slowly extinguished. I heard a sigh of relief from many of the people present, and I had vaguely guessed that the ritual of the first seven sacrifices should have something to do with this brazier.

"The fire is out, the ghost is gone, sir, I think you should leave the village too."

Even if Doha didn't say it, I would have guessed that the villagers were obviously no more scared than they were just now. The villagers who were prostrate on the ground stood up, and they gathered around the deceased, crying heartbreakingly, while the villagers who had been buried slowly left. Looking at my watch, I had been in and out of the village for more than twelve hours, and it was almost midnight.

But to be honest, I don't want to leave like this, this village is destined to be unpeaceful, coffins in the desert, mysterious deaths of the village chief and other villagers. The ghosts in the village, which casts a veil of mystery over Kuta Village, are like the hazy moonlight, which makes people chill from the bottom of their hearts.

Soon, I thought of a reason to stay in the village. I told Doha that my companion had left the village and that I didn't drive myself, so there was no way to go back to Fanshi now. Doha had just told me that she would be back to work early tomorrow morning, so I asked Doha to arrange a place for me to rest for the night and go back to Fanshi with Doha at dawn. Please is our greatest support, thank you!

Doha was naturally reluctant, but we were in the middle of the conversation. It attracted several villagers who had not yet left. I'm an outsider, so I should be easily discovered by everyone, but before, everyone's attention was all on the corpse, so they didn't notice me.

What makes me happy. Doha wasn't the only one in the village who could speak Chinese, and among the people who gathered around us was a short, middle-aged uncle who could speak Chinese. He heard that Doha and I were conversing in Chinese and immediately joined us.

This uncle was much more enthusiastic than Doha, and when he heard that I was embarrassed, he immediately asked me to go to his house and sleep for the night, and then go on the road at dawn the next day. Doha couldn't say anything. I went back to my house with a blank look, and I followed the uncle to a house on the side.

It was then that I found out that Doha was the neighbor of the deceased, and this uncle was also the neighbor of the deceased. He and Doha lived on opposite sides of the deceased's home. After entering the uncle's house, he lit an oil lamp, and the dark room suddenly lit up. The uncle was very welcoming, and he wanted to give me food and water, and he wanted to change my bedding for me.

My uncle introduced himself to me, and there was a man in his name, and he asked me to call him Uncle Man according to the Han Chinese custom, and Doha also called him that when he spoke Chinese. Uncle Man took me to the room on the second floor by the front door, there was no one else in his house, and he let me sleep in peace.

Uncle Man is also very fluent in Chinese, although it is not as good as Doha, but at least the game is much better. When asked why, Uncle Man said that when he was young more than 20 years ago, he liked to go to other provinces to do business, so he learned Chinese. Uncle Man told me about it, and he simply sat down.

The oil lamp illuminates Uncle Man's face, which is neither old nor young, he is about a dozen years older than me, and it is not too much to call him uncle. Uncle Man told me that many people in the border provinces will go to other provinces in the hope of a better life, after all, there is a gap in economic conditions.

Of course, there are also people who like to live a stable life, and the customs and habits of other places and border provinces are still very different, and Uncle Man belongs to the more ambitious one of the young people of that generation. Uncle Man said, a little excited, he said that he had dozens of dollars in his pocket back then, and went over the mountains and mountains to various places, at that time, Uncle Man was full of energy.

But immediately, Uncle Man let out another long sigh, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

"When I was young, I was ignorant, I did some wrong things, and in the end I ended up having to return to my hometown empty-handed." Uncle Man smiled bitterly.

"Uncle Man, when you are young, you are stable, there is nothing bad about it." I said.

Although Uncle Man didn't explain, I had already guessed it. At that time, everyone's ambition was nothing more than to make a little more money, but now Uncle Man is lonely and lives a simple life, I am afraid that he has lost money in business.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Man shook his head: "A person's ambition is a lifetime, when I was young, I wanted to break through, and now I want to break in, but unfortunately, I don't have that ability anymore." Child, I used to think that youth was capital, I didn't know the height of the sky, I could do whatever I wanted, and I even thought that I was the center of this world, but in fact, my existence was like a small speck of dust in the vast desert. ”

I feel more and more that Uncle Man is not simple, which can be seen from his conversation, the middle-aged uncle in front of me may have a legendary experience when he was young.

Me: "For anyone, youth is capital. ”

"No!" Uncle Man suddenly became a little excited: "Young people, don't think that you have the energy to resist this world when you are young, there are many people and many things that can not be faced and solved by being young." ”

Before I could respond, Uncle Man changed the subject: "What's your name?" ”

"Li Ke." I replied.

Uncle Man nodded: "It's a very simple name, you go to bed early." ”

Uncle Man stood up, he didn't leave the only oil lamp to me, and watched Uncle Man's shadow on the wall leave the room, and the place suddenly went dark. The room was very simple, but very clean, and it was obvious that Uncle Man was a person who loved cleanliness. It was cold, so I took off my coat and fell asleep in bed.

In the middle of the night, I was awakened by the cold, the temperature of the winter night here is not comparable to other places, the thin bedding could not withstand the cold, I put on my clothes again, walked to the windowsill and looked down. From here, you can still see the corpse placed underneath, the body has been carried a little inside, but I don't know if it is due to custom, the body has not been carried into the house.

There were several people sitting next to the corpse, and those few people were relatives of the deceased, and they seemed to be keeping vigil.

The body was covered with a black cloth, and I lit a cigarette and looked towards the village. Here, I couldn't see the desert because of the line of sight. Inadvertently, I turned my head sideways and saw a person leaning out of the window, it was Doha, and she didn't notice me in the first place.

Looking at the time, it was already four o'clock in the morning, and she hadn't even fallen asleep.

Doha was dressed a lot, and she seemed to be not afraid of the cold, squinting her eyes and opening her hands, as if to embrace the silent air of the village. There was a room between the house where Doha stood and the house I was in, which was the home of the deceased, and Doha didn't notice me at the first time, and only after stretching did she open her eyes.

Finally, Doha saw me, not very far away, and I could see the expression on her face. Originally, there was still a hint of comfort on her face, but when she saw me, Doha's face sank. I shrugged my shoulders, this woman has a bad temper and attitude, she is a doctor, in this place, doctors are already considered a very noble profession, she has her arrogance, I can understand.

I ran into her a few times, which naturally made her seriously unhappy with me.

Doha gave me a blank look and went into the house, but she didn't say a word to me.

I stood in front of the windowsill until dawn, I was completely sleepy, I kept thinking about all the strange things that happened today, but my mind was very confused, and I couldn't figure it out for a long time. I was also secretly observing the village, but since the fire around the corpse was extinguished, the village has returned to peace.

The dawn of the morning sprinkled on my face, and the bitter cold that I had endured for a long time finally slowly dissipated.

There was a noise in the house very early, Uncle Man had already woken up early, and when I went downstairs, Uncle Man had already prepared breakfast. The most ^new ^ chapter ^ section Baidu search --- blue ~ color ~ book ~ bar...
