I stood in the courtyard and glanced into my uncle's house from time to time, but I never noticed any movement in the house, and the chicken coop was very quiet.

"What's the situation? It's not that at this time, the uncle started jumping around, why didn't there be any movement. ”

After waiting for about half an hour, the rooster suddenly stood up from the hen shed, crowed in a low voice, looked very frightened, and carefully shrank in the corner of the hen coop, and after a few crows, he shoved his head into his wings and remained motionless.

I quietly approached the rooster's nest and tapped the wooden board on the top of the chicken coop with my hand: "Big rooster, get up, this is sleeping?"

I knew that this was comforting myself, after all, I couldn't calm my mind completely on such a cold night.

No matter how I barked, the rooster just didn't move, and the uncle's room was as quiet as ever.

"It's a strange thing, could it be that the aunt of the Li family can't lie to me?" I waited until the second watch sounded, and there was still a deathly silence in the courtyard, and I could occasionally hear the big dog of the second family in the village barking.

I pushed open the courtyard door, wanting to look outside, and when I just pushed open the courtyard door, a figure flashed to the side, gasping for breath.

"Who?"

No one answered for a long time, so I cautiously leaned over to the sound and found a figure squatting in the dark shadow, trembling constantly.

"Aunt Li?" I was very puzzled by her arrival: "Didn't you go to your relatives?"

"Oh...... Yes, but I want to come back and see how your uncle is doing. ”

I said, "It's strange that he didn't bounce around like you said tonight." ”

Aunt Li looked very nervous, desperately waving her hand like me, one hand covering her face: "Little Guy, I'm afraid he's jumping up, and I don't want to see him like that, so I ran back from my relative's house." ”

"It's okay, I'm here, you can rest assured, it's so late, the weather is a little cold, you better go back." "I patted my chest and packed the ticket, but at this time only I knew that I was wearing a hard suit.

I kept scolding myself, I was afraid that I couldn't do it, but now that there is a living person here, at least I can give myself some confidence and let people go.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you here, your uncle must not have anything to do, I'm leaving!" Aunt Li looked a little reluctant, or a little distrustful of my ability, and kept looking back when she left, until she disappeared into the night.

I still smiled secretly and turned into the courtyard, but as soon as I entered the courtyard, my uncle's frail body stood in the middle of the courtyard, his eyes staring straight at me.

"Where have you been?" the uncle's voice was a little gloomy.

I took two steps back, and one hand was already on the broken sword: "It's nothing, I'll go out and have a look." "I originally wanted to say that Aunt Li had come, but I was afraid that he would really be a ghost and do something to Aunt Auntie, and it would be difficult to clean it up at that time.

"Thank you for taking care of me, but I don't need you anymore. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I won't bother you about my family's affairs, hurry up and go, I'm fine. ”

As soon as I heard Uncle Li's words, it seemed that I had been poured cold water, and I was so angry in my heart, it was my aunt who asked me to help, but you still let me go, so I stayed for a night.

But when I looked back and thought about the things that Aunt Li gave to my family, my heart was balanced, so I simply relented and turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

When I looked back, the uncle of the Li family didn't know when he returned to the house, I could clearly see through the lights in the house, he waved his hand to me in the house to say goodbye, and then I heard the ghosts crying wolves in the house, and through the window, I could clearly see that the uncle's hand was constantly beating something.

I wanted to go back again, but I thought that everyone had issued an eviction order, so why bother with it, so I simply returned home.

There was nothing to do that night, and in the early morning of the second day, normally the aunt of the Li family would come to my house to ask about the situation last night, but it was almost noon, and there was no one in sight, and my father did not come back from the goods.

I suddenly felt hungry in my stomach, and remembered the pickles and eggs that Aunt Li brought to me a few days ago, and I was going to eat some.

But strangely enough, these two things were missing, and I searched the entire kitchen and couldn't find them.

"Little Yak, are you at home?"

As soon as I heard Wu Shu's voice, I didn't look back at him: "Come in, I'm in the kitchen." ”

Seeing that I was looking for something, Wu Shudui laughed: "What are you looking for?"

"Hey, don't mention it, I don't know where my basket of eggs and pickles went, and I haven't eaten yet. ”

"I can't imagine that Uncle Liu brought it to the city to exchange money, come to me here and give you one. Wu Shu pulled out an egg from his bosom.

I looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Where did you get the eggs?"

"Uh, Uncle Li sent it a few days ago!"

"What?" I felt a pang of unhappiness as soon as I heard the words Li Jia.

"What did he give you eggs for?"

Wu Shu grinned and said, "Two days ago, he came to my house and asked me to help make a ......" He stopped at this point: "No, I promised him that I couldn't tell him about it." ”

"What's the matter? Can't even I say?"

"No, I have to keep it a secret for others. ”

As soon as I heard it, I became angry: "Uncle Li is about to become a ghost, and he hasn't figured out what's going on yet, and you still help him keep secrets?"

I immediately told Wu Shu about the squatting pit in the Li family in the past few days, and after finishing speaking, Wu Shu's face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't say a word.

"You know this time, Uncle Li can't tell me what's going on. "I opened the egg that Wu Shu gave me, and when I took a bite, it was quite refreshing, after all, it solved the hunger in my stomach.

But when I finished eating the egg, an idea popped up in my head for some reason, and I immediately asked Wu Shu, "Have you eaten this egg?"

Wu Shu nodded: "Eat!"

"What's different about the body, the mind, and the rest?"

"No, it's all good, but ......" he seemed to say something.

I suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Tell me quickly, what did Uncle Li ask you to do? ”

"Yes, he gave me a basket of eggs and some pickles!"

As soon as I heard it, my mind was shocked, how could this matter be the same as the aunt of the Li family who came to my house.

"You've eaten everything?"

"Eaten, nothing special. ”

I grabbed Wu Shu's ear: "Now I solemnly tell you, you must tell me Uncle Li's secret, because this is a matter of life and death for a person." ”

"Ahh......h

Wu Shu said to me because of the pain in his ear: "Actually, he came to me that day to ask me to help make a coffin, and I asked him who he used it for, so that he could leave a name on the coffin." ”

"What did he say?"

He didn't say who he would use it for, he said he would take it himself, and then he came and took it, and when he took it, he gave me a basket of eggs and those pickles, and asked me to help him keep it a secret. ”

I was in this mess in my mind at the moment, and my heart kept beating drums, and I glanced back at Wu Shu: "Come with me to Uncle Li's house at night, I want to see what kind of secret it is." ”

That night, Wu Shu and I squatted on the big tree in front of Uncle Li's house, until the time came, the big rooster seemed to be crazy, and after jumping out of the chicken coop, he jumped up and down in the yard, crowing for a while, and flapping his wings for a while as if to express something.

At this time, there was another wail in Uncle Li's house, the one who cried miserably and the one who screamed.

"What's the matter with this mother's milk, what's going on with his family, I haven't even seen a ghost in the past two days, just look at them making trouble. ”

While I was grumbling, all of a sudden, the big fell headlong and lay motionless on the ground.

Then, Uncle Li's door was kicked open suddenly, and Uncle Li seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, holding his haggard body, staggered out, pushed open the courtyard door, and ran all the way to the hillside at the entrance of the village.

"Chase!" I didn't say a word to Wu Shu, and chased Uncle Li all the way.

When I got to the hillside, I suddenly found that Uncle Li's figure was gone, and I only felt a panic in my heart.

Wu Shu pulled me behind me: "Little Yak, how do I feel that this matter is a little inappropriate, and further on, it is the grave circle in the village." ”

"No matter, we have all gone to the general's tomb, are you still afraid of the cemetery in our village?"

Before we could take two steps, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of us.

"Where are you going?"

"Uncle Li?"

Looking at his face, which was almost indistinguishable from a dead man, Wu Shu sat on the ground in fright.

I instinctively took two steps back.

"What are you doing with me all day when you're not at home so late?"

Hearing Uncle Li say this, a fire rushed to my head in my heart: "What do you say I do, my aunt asked me to come and see you, I can't talk and don't count, besides, looking at your appearance, who doesn't worry?"

Hearing my words, he suddenly showed the same look he had last night.

"You said Auntie asked you to come?"

"Of course, who wants to run around in the middle of the night, if she doesn't come to my house to beg us, we can't sell this strength. After I finished speaking, I carefully observed Uncle Li.

Uncle Li's eyes suddenly burst into tears, grinned, and sat on the ground.

He cried for a long time before he slowly got up.

"It seems that this matter can't be hidden, I know that she comes back to see me every day, why do you think she is so miserable. ”

Seeing Uncle Li's crying, I felt that he was like a normal person, all his words and demeanors did not look evil, and he took out a pot of wine from his arms and handed it to us.

"Today is your Aunt Li's first seventh, so I know that she will definitely come back to make trouble......"
