Chapter 884: The coffin that went home by himself
After I got up, I asked him about the specific things, and Wu Fatzi told me that although he drove for a day, he didn't sleep well and woke up at dawn. Seeing that I was not awake, he walked around the village to see if he could find anything! But as he walked around, he saw a group of people gathered in a family in the village, as if discussing something.
Driven by curiosity, he went over to take a look, and when he looked over, he realized that the coffin that had been buried in the soil last night suddenly returned home early this morning, and everyone was discussing what to do. Seeing this, Fat Wu knew that something was wrong, so he hurried back to me.
Without saying a word, after getting dressed, I didn't even bother to wash my face and let Fat Wu lead the way.
Three minutes later, we came to the house that Wu Fatzi said, which was the house of Second Master Li in our village.
This Second Master Li is a good old man, he doesn't compete with others all his life, he is honest, he is usually happy to see our juniors, and he is a very kind old man. He has two sons, all of whom have gone out to work, and these two sons will come back during the Chinese New Year, just like him, they are all happy and approachable people.
Their family had obviously just died, and the house was plastered with white couplets, and the funeral shed had just been demolished.
As we approached the crowd, we heard a discussion from the crowd: "Oh, how can this be, this person is buried, and he can still be carried out, there is no place to reason." ”
"Yes, if you want to call the police, the police can only pull people to bury them again. It's hard to say if he will come out again. ”
"Hey! I don't know which god our village has offended, and these strange things have been happening. There are no dead people today, but this kind of thing happened again, and I don't know what it means. ”
“……”
Listening to everyone's turbulent discussions, I squeezed through the crowd to take a look, and saw the coffin in the crowd. At the door of Second Master Li's house, the head of the coffin was facing the door and the feet were facing the hall.
Both of his sons were standing by the coffin, next to a few older people. Those old people are all relatively talkative in the village, and they are also in charge of family affairs, and one of them is the recognized patriarch of our village.
The patriarch's face was sad, and his brow was furrowed any longer. A person next to him was on the phone, and he didn't know if he was calling Mr. Yin Yang or the relevant department.
That's the grandson of the patriarch, older than me, named Li Sheng, who came to work in the village committee after graduating from university, and is a down-to-earth and hard-working person, and can be regarded as the kind of young man who really works hard for the development of the village.
When I watched, he was just finishing the phone call and was saying something to the patriarch.
After listening to Li Sheng's words, the patriarch nodded, and then said to the onlookers: "I just asked Mr. Zhang, and he said to lift the coffin first, and then he came from home to deal with it, and a few people came, and lifted the coffin first." ”
As soon as the patriarch's words fell, several people came and prepared to lift the coffin.
"Wait!" Seeing that everyone was about to do it, I quickly screamed.
Hearing my voice, everyone looked at me. When I saw that it was me who was talking, I saw that everyone's eyes began to change. There are those who are surprised, those who are puzzled, those who are excited, and those who frown.
"Lee, Lee, Little Lee." After the patriarch had two Li, he still didn't remember what my name was, so he simply called me Xiao Li.
I hummed and said, "It's me, grandpa!" ”
The patriarch is the largest in the family, so his name is Li Ada, and we all call him grandpa.
"You, you're back?" He walked towards me with trembling steps, and said with excitement on his face: "Okay, okay, what about your grandfather?" Your grandfather must have come back too, right? ”
I know that the reason why the patriarch is so excited is because of my grandfather.
After the patriarch's words were finished, the crowd immediately began to discuss: "He is, he is Li Qiankun's grandson, and he is that Li Yao." ”
"Ahh It's Li Yao, oops, he's back, then his grandfather must have come back too, I heard that he left the village with his grandfather. If we come back, then we will be saved, saved! ”
"Yes, his grandfather is a god, and he must have calculated that there will be a disaster in the village, so he brought him back. Look, I'll just say that Li Qiankun won't ignore our village. ”
"Lijia Village is saved, saved!"
The villagers were talking excitedly, and some even burst into tears.
I know that grandpa is a god-like being in the minds of the villagers, and they dream that grandpa can come back to save them after experiencing this life of living in the haze and worrying about whether they will see the sun tomorrow.
Now, seeing me, they conclude that Grandpa has come back with me, so they can no longer hide the passion in their hearts. This feeling is like everyone has a disease with no cure, and suddenly one day, a person comes to tell everyone that they will be fine after taking the medicine.
Looking at the excited villagers, I said lightly: "Grandpa, uncles and aunts, my grandfather didn't come back, but I came back alone." ”
After I said this, the crowd that had just been in high mood instantly fell silent. It was as if time had stood still, and everyone froze. The sudden silence around was terrifying, and you could hear a needle falling on the ground.
"What, what? You came back alone? What about your grandfather? The patriarch took the lead in breaking everyone's silence, walked to my side, took my hand and asked.
I looked at the trembling hand of the patriarch and said, "I am looking for him too, and I have not seen him since the day I left home!" If it weren't for looking for him this time, I probably wouldn't have known that something like this was happening in the village. ”
"However, don't worry, I will solve the affairs of the village."
When I said this, there was an uproar at the scene, and everyone didn't hear what I said later, I will solve it, they only heard that my grandfather didn't come back.
"Master Li didn't come back, didn't come back!"
"W-what can I do? There was such a big thing going on in the village, why didn't he come back to take a look? ”
“……”
For a while, there were mournful voices all around, some complaining that my grandfather didn't take the village seriously, and some saying that they didn't expect my grandfather to save them from the beginning. The hope just now was extinguished in an instant, and the feeling of riding a roller coaster, I know.
I repeated again: "Don't worry, I will solve the affairs of the village!" But I want everybody to listen to me. ”
"Huh! Who are you? Do you think you're your grandfather? How old are you, twenty? Can people trust a kid like you? As soon as he heard my words, a big man immediately shouted.
That big man is none other than the master of the family we followed the ghost in white to in the early hours of this morning, Li Zhouliang!
