Chapter 40 Late at night, fearless ghosts knock at the door
When I came to the eldest sister's house, it was just dark, but the cool breeze was strong.
In the sky, the clouds of white clouds seem to be soaked in ink, white with black, black with white, extremely weird.
The blue background color emerged from the cracks in the clouds, adding a bit of evil spirit.
It was my dad and eldest sister who went out to greet me.
According to the eldest sister, the eldest brother-in-law needs to take care of the stores in the city, so he can't come back for a while.
The eldest sister is ten years older than me, and the eldest sister is seven years old. Maybe it's the age gap, and my eldest sister and I usually talk very little, but the family relationship between my sister and brother has always been simple and strong.
In the first year of Sister Yun's departure, my eldest sister gave birth to my eldest niece Yaya. In the cold autumn of last year, she gave birth to my second nephew Wenwen.
Yaya is nine years old, in the fourth grade, and boarding at the school. And Wenwen is just over half a year old, and he can already turn over and crawl.
The parents' visit coincided with the urgent shortage of manpower in the eldest brother-in-law's store and he couldn't get out. So, the two simply stayed for a few more days and took good care of the eldest sister.
After entering the house, the eldest sister picked up Wenwen and squeezed to Sister Yun's side, her eyes were red and she asked her questions.
Sister Yun hugged Wenwen, looked at his fleshy little round face, and nodded at his cute little pear vortex, smiling with starlight in her eyes.
"Look, the way he laughs, how much he looks like Xiaohua." Sister Yun said with a smile.
I quickly leaned up, looked at it a few times, pouted and said, "Where is it?" He's so ugly, I'm so handsome.
"Get out of the way."
The eldest sister slapped me on the arm and pretended to be fierce and drove me away.
Sister Yun smiled, glanced at me, and said: As the saying goes, nephews play lanterns - as usual (uncle), fortunately they don't look like you, otherwise they won't be able to talk about daughter-in-law when they grow up.
This sentence can be regarded as piercing my mother's heart. If it were an outsider, she would have lowered her face. As for Sister Yun, she will never take it to heart.
While laughing, my dad had already made four cups of fragrant tea and brought them in.
He bent down and handed a cup to Sister Yun's table first.
Sister Yun was moved, bowed slightly to my father, and said politely: Thank you, Uncle Zhao.
My dad wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said in a rough and soft voice: Our daughter, it's good to come back, it's good to come back.
The sentence "our daughter" makes people listen to it, and their hearts are both warm and sad.
My mother was about to cook, but was stopped by Sister Yun, she said: Aunt Zhao, I'm not hungry, let's sit down and talk.
With that, she looked at me, as if to ask me if I was hungry. I shook my head, thinking sadly in my heart: these murderous things happened to me because I didn't eat for three days and three nights, and I didn't feel hungry.
The family, sitting together with the Harmony Group, never mentioned the tragic and strange things that happened in our village. Whoever makes a bad remark will be quickly led elsewhere by others.
Before we knew it, we had been talking happily for an hour. I secretly attached to Sister Yun's ear and whispered: Sister, I'm afraid no one will come to you to borrow money tonight.
Sister Yun shrugged her brows, and a wry smile rose on the corner of her lips.
At this time, my mother's eyes happened to meet me, and she looked at me and Sister Yun, with a sly smile in her eyes.
I pursed my lips in embarrassment and thought, "Mom, don't get me wrong.
"Knock," there was a crisp knock on the door outside the courtyard.
The eldest sister was puzzled: There is not even a visit on weekdays, who will come when this point is placed?
Sister Yun and I looked at each other and thought tacitly: It won't be here to borrow money, right?
If so, it's hard for them. It's dangerous to go on a night road.
Sure enough, there were three people who came, and they came to borrow money.
From their mouths, they learned that 23 people were killed or injured due to self-harm in the murder that happened on the 30-acre ridge in the afternoon, and three others were in a trance, and together with the injured, they were taken to the central hospital.
Now, the murder case has been escalated to a major case supervised by the provincial department. The police have dispatched more than 500 additional police officers to the village, and more than 50 criminal investigation experts are rushing to the village overnight.
In addition, the police have installed real-time surveillance in front of and behind the doors of each house, and have sent people to watch and patrol around the clock.
I hurriedly asked: Then why don't you stay at home and run here in the middle of the night?
An aunt I had never seen before, with a chubby face, smiled and said: It's not that we don't believe the police, but I think these things are 100% not done by people, so ......
The eldest sister stood up and interjected angrily: Okay, borrow money, borrow money, don't say it so crazy, my baby is still young and can't stand the disturbance.
My mother didn't give a good face, and said coldly: I said that you can't come back slowly? When our Xiaoyun was young, I didn't look at any of you to help him. Now it's better to pluck the hair from our daughter's body, you ......
Once my mother's strength comes up, she has to compare herself with others. Although many times, she has won, but she has offended many people for this.
However, she has three significant advantages: first, she does not talk about the length of the person; Second, be forgiving and forgiving; Third, don't hold grudges.
Right now, hearing what my mother said for Sister Yun, I feel very relieved.
When my mother was in full swing and the three of them were ashamed to hear it, Sister Yun interrupted her words and said coquettishly: Auntie, I'm hungry, you and eldest sister can cook some food for us.
"Well, good."
My mother's face turned to joy, and she took her eldest sister and my dad and walked out in a hurry.
I knew that Sister Yun deliberately put the three of him aside, for fear that they would be upset and quarrel with them in the dead of night.
After a while, several people typed IOUs.
I leaned into Sister Yun's ear and whispered, "Sister, what should I do if I don't bring that dragon seal?"
Sister Yun handed the pen to me and said with a smile: Just sign your name.
"Why don't you write yours?" I'm incredible.
She smiled sweetly and said, "Can you tell the difference between me and my sister so clearly?" Write quickly.
"Okay."
I nodded happily, and on the white flower's IOU, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced a few strokes.
The three of them received the IOU, and after saying a few words of thanks, they retreated.
As soon as a few people stepped out of the hospital, my mother had already prepared a fragrant meal and served it to the table.
Hunger and appetite are really two incompatible feelings.
Sister Yun and I haven't eaten for a whole day, and our stomachs are empty and flat, but we really can't eat a bite of food.
Fortunately, my mother boiled a small pot of corn soup, which tasted light, and we both barely drank a small bowl each.
The family, taking advantage of the quiet and cool night, talked for half an hour.
My mother laughed and said: How can Wenwen behave tonight? Don't be noisy and listen to our chat.
The eldest sister said: Bacheng is the first time to see his aunt and his brother-in-law, and I feel fresh. I guess I was wondering why one was so ugly and the other was so beautiful?
The eldest sister took advantage of this topic to finally win back the "face" for her baby son.
After hearing this, the family burst into laughter.
Night, another layer of ink fell. The sound of our breathing was audible to each other.
At night, my mother slept in the south room with my eldest sister because she needed to take care of her eldest sister. My dad and I slept on a two-bed couch in the living room. And Sister Yun deliberately vacated a clean north house for her.
After the lights went out, I couldn't sleep.
For some reason, there was still a cold fear in my heart, for fear that the murder would come again. And if it comes, what kind of murderous form will it be?
My father, who was already drunk, heard me rolling the sofa over and over again, so he asked in a low voice: Are you still thinking about our village?
"Well, a nightmare for a lifetime." I burst out of my mouth.
My dad sighed, turned over and sat up, and said softly: According to Dad's words, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. Those villagers who suffered can't be said to deserve it, but they can be regarded as the sins they planted for themselves and paid off their debts.
My father's words made me noncommittal, so I asked: Dad, are you really doing these things?
In the dead of night, I really didn't dare to say the gloomy things out of my mouth.
My dad grinned and said, "What are the ghosts in this world?" It's scary.
"But, what happened in the village is too bizarre, isn't it? Don't talk about the first few things, just the gold grows in the ground, Dad, have you heard of it? ”
My dad was asked hesitantly. After pausing for a while, he sighed again and said: Go to bed early, our family has not done anything wrong, and we are afraid that the person or the ghost will come to the door?
"Well, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ......"
I silently repeated my father's words.
Xu is this sentence that calmed my heart. The fear in my heart seemed to disappear all at once.
Just as I squinted my eyes and felt a little sleepy, my dad Huo sat up and said with a smile: Xiaohua, you and Xiaoyun, huh......
I turned over and sat up, "shh
"Married?"
My dad asked incredulously, his voice raising a bit.
In the dark night, I could hardly see his expression, but I could guess that his face must be full of loss.
When I was a child, whenever I saw Sister Yun and I messing together, my smiling parents would inevitably have some long-term thoughts.
However, time has passed, and beautiful thoughts have come to naught.
"It's okay, Xiaoyun is not small. Even if she is married, she is also the daughter of our family. In the future, you must be honest and not have bad thoughts about your sister. ”
His words almost made me faint, and I said fiercely: Dad, what are you talking about, can I be that kind of person? Sister Yun and I grew up with a deep love for her, and it was too late to love her.
My dad smiled and whispered, "Alas, our family doesn't want her to be bullied." Whenever I think of your hard-working Aunt Qing, I feel that we have to take good care of her.
"Hmm."
In the darkness, I nodded violently, even though my dad couldn't see it.
After that, the two of us didn't talk more, and each of us lay down, squinting sleepy eyes.
