The heavy rain fell like a scoop, and after waiting for a long time, there was no tendency to decrease, the second uncle kept looking at the sky, and then urged everyone, "Don't wait, this rain can't stop for a while, it's better to bury people first." ”

But someone from the village came back to see the cemetery and told us, "No, the pit that was originally dug in the cemetery has accumulated water, and there is no way to bury it, so you can't soak the coffin in water." ”

There was no way for everyone to wait, and I chatted casually with Lantern Xiao. Although we still have a lot of problems in our stomachs at the moment, we are anxious for the second uncle's explanation. But in the current situation, it is still not suitable.

It's getting dark, and I have to give up today. The people in the village gradually dispersed, Brother Dacheng and a few young people stayed, and we didn't see each other for many days, and they had to pull me and Lantern Festival to drink. It's hard to resist everyone's kindness, and it's hard for me to refuse. The second uncle did not participate and told us not to enter the back room too late.

I noticed that something didn't seem right with the second uncle, and since the rain, he had become a little uneasy, and he was anxious for everyone to bury Ma Jun first. This is somewhat contradictory to the second uncle's previous attitude towards Ma Jun. And I also noticed a detail, that is, the second uncle's attention has always been on Ma Jun's urn, and the second uncle did it himself. I think there's something unusual about that.

I chatted with Lantern Xiao and Brother Dacheng until late at night. After the end of the game, Brother Dacheng proposed that the three of us go to his house to sleep, this Ma family's old house has been left alone for many years, no one has come back all year round, it is dirty and messy, and there is no way to sleep at all.

I thought what Brother Dacheng said made sense, so I nodded and agreed. I went to tell the second uncle, but he said that he wanted to accompany Ma Jun for another night, just let me go with Lantern Festival, and he won't go.

I think the purpose of the second uncle's stay is probably not as simple as he said. So I tried my best to persuade the second uncle to go with us to Brother Dacheng's house to stay overnight, and come back tomorrow to bury Ma Jun. In the end, the second uncle couldn't beat me, so he could only nod helplessly and agree. The second uncle locked the door and left with us.

At night, I lay in bed, and after everyone had fallen asleep, I sat up quietly. Then, he tiptoed open the door and walked out.

I still feel that there is something wrong with the second uncle's behavior during the day, and with the strength of the wine, I plan to go to the Ma family's old house to check again, and I think the problem is most likely to be on Ma Jun's urn.

At this time, the rain had stopped, and I went straight to the old house of the Ma family, which was in disrepair, although the second uncle locked the door, but the courtyard wall on the west side collapsed in half, and I easily climbed in.

I remember that the second uncle put the urn in the east room, standing in the courtyard and being blown by the wind, the strength of the wine I just had just dissipated a lot, looking at the door of the black hole, remembering that there was an urn inside, my heart trembled a little. But thinking that he would come anyway, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and walked towards the door.

I quietly pushed open the wooden door of the hall, and the doorshaft made a "creak" sound, which made my back tingle. I shook my head, thinking to myself what kind of zongzi monster I hadn't seen before, would I be scared by a small urn today!

Thinking of this, I walked in with my legs raised, raised my flashlight and shone it in the inner room on the east side, where the black urn was placed on the cabinet inside.

It's also strange to say, the previous experience is more thrilling than now, but at this moment, there is an inexplicable chill in my heart. I slowly approached Ma Jun's urn and looked at the photo of Ma Jun on it, and he seemed to be looking at me with a smile.

I made my head, and then I checked the surroundings of the urn with a flashlight, and it didn't look anything special.

I put the flashlight on the table and gently lifted it. And just as my hands lifted the urn, a slight sound suddenly came from behind me.

On this silent night, coupled with the sharpness of my ears, this voice reached my ears clearly, and exploded in my heart like thunder.

My hands trembled and almost threw the urn on the ground, I put the urn down suddenly, turned my head to look, and saw a dark figure standing in the doorway, I swallowed, reached for the flashlight on the table, but the light in the room was on.

The sudden brightness pierced me a little unable to open my eyes, I raised my hand to cover it, and then I saw clearly that it was the second uncle standing at the door.

I was stunned for a moment, then smiled and let out a sigh, "Second uncle, it turned out to be you, it scared me!" ”

The second uncle didn't smile, but looked at me first, and then at the urn behind me, "What are you doing here?" ”

I was speechless for a moment, as if I couldn't really explain why I was here if I wasn't telling the truth, I couldn't say I was sleepwalking.

Seeing that I didn't speak, the second uncle smiled bitterly, then sighed and said, "Zhuo Ran, do you know, sometimes I am very conflicted!" "I still didn't speak, but listened to the second uncle continue." From the family's point of view, I hope that you can enter this industry and inherit the ancestral "Stargazing and Pulse Fixing Technique", because if the "Stargazing and Pulse Fixing Technique" is lost in my generation, I will become a sinner of the Zhuo family. But from a personal point of view, I really want you to stay away from all this and live a peaceful and peaceful life. ”

"We seem to have discussed this issue before," I couldn't help but laugh, "Second uncle, I also want to stay away, but I always feel like I can't jump out of a strange circle!" ”

"Maybe that's fate!" The second uncle let out a long sigh, "And there are some things that you can always notice, if you are stupid, you don't know anything, and things may be simple." But you're just like me, so smart. ”

I couldn't help laughing, "Second uncle, let's talk about something, don't you boast about yourself without beating around the bush." ”

The second uncle nodded, "Are you suspicious of that urn?" Then you can open it and take a look. ”

"This," I froze for a moment, "that's not good." ”

The second uncle came over and pushed the urn towards me, "The people who are inverted don't have so many taboos, and even the coffin lid has been opened in the tomb, so are you hesitant to make an urn?" Besides, Ma Jun is also guilty of living like this, and it may be a relief to die. ”

In fact, thinking about it, I nodded, reached out and opened the urn, and then raised the flashlight and looked inside, but what I didn't expect was that the urn was empty!

I looked at my second uncle in surprise, "This?" Second uncle, where are the ashes in here? ”

The second uncle smiled faintly and didn't speak, I thought I was dazzled, and I raised the flashlight to confirm again, the urn was indeed empty, and it was clean, it seemed to be the same as the new one. I looked at the second uncle again, "Second uncle, it can't be that you hid the ashes, right?" ”

"Fart!" The second uncle glared at me, "I have nothing to do, why hide those bone foams!" ”

"So what's going on?" I looked at my second uncle in surprise, "These ashes can't just disappear out of thin air, right?" ”

Unexpectedly, the second uncle really nodded, "Eldest nephew, you're right, these ashes will really disappear out of thin air!" ”

My mind was dazed, and I opened my mouth but didn't know what to say.
