"I'm sleeping next to my uncle!" This time my cousin was not slow to respond.

As soon as he lay down, his cousin said coldly: "Uncle, you said that the daughter-in-law who drowned is almost thirty, why don't you have children?" "I was so angry that I wanted to kick him directly, now that everyone is dead, it is inappropriate to ask this question, let alone ask an old man from the same village who has nothing to do with him.

Da Lao Hai didn't mind, he sighed first, and then slowly explained: "We don't know the specific reason, but I heard that it is related to the red birthmark on her face." ”

I drove for a day, and I was already very sleepy, but when I heard Da Laohai's words, my scalp was numb, and I sat up directly.

"Uncle, what do you say is on the face of this drowned little daughter-in-law?"

Because the lights were turned off, they couldn't see each other's expressions, and it was estimated that Da Laohai was startled by my sudden sound.

There was silence for more than ten seconds before he muttered, "Birthmarks! ”

"Is it a red birthmark on the left side of the face, similar in shape to the palm of a child's hand?"

"yes!" Old Hays paused for a moment and asked me again, "What?" It's not the first time you've come to our village! How do you know? ”

His words further verified that the ghost we encountered before entering the village was the young daughter-in-law who had drowned.

In addition to being shocked, I was even more afraid.

I've heard about the drowning ghost looking for a stand-in, and I'm glad I didn't let her get into the car just now, otherwise it is likely that we would have driven the car straight into the river.

Thinking about it further, it is probably that the drowned ghost is more special, and if you want to be reincarnated, you must pull a substitute for the dead ghost, and it may also be related to the weather of lightning and thunder at that time, and the time of twilight.

So just now it wasn't just me, even my cousin and Wang Manyu saw her.

"Boy, how do you know that the little daughter-in-law who just died in our village has a red birthmark the size of a child's palm on the left side of her face?"

Da Laohai asked again.

"What birthmarks? Cousin - you can't be talking about the woman we just met on the bridge outside the village! Isn't there a red birthmark on her face that looks like a child's palm? ”

At this moment, I swear that I will never bring Song Xiao to the door again!

I tried to stop him, but the "cannon barrel" had already been spoken.

Da Lao Hai also sat up directly, and then turned on the light.

I casually slapped my cousin.

My cousin was still full of doubts, glanced at Da Laohai, and then looked at me: "Brother! What are you hitting me for? ”

Before I could reply, Da Laohai stared straight at me and asked, "Did you see the daughter-in-law of the Qin family when you entered the village?" ”

At this point, I had no choice but to nod: "See! She was wet and had no shadow, and wanted us to take her back to the village. ”

Da Laohai nodded, frowned and took out a box of cigarettes from under the pillow, but in the end he didn't light it.

"Uncle, we should be the hell!"

Seeing that he was silent, I had to say something casually to break the uncomfortable silence.

Da Laohai ignored me, but straightened up and looked out the window, and then looked down at the old pocket watch on the side of the pillow.

It was still raining outside.

"Later, when the rain stops, I'll take you to Qin's house to give this little daughter-in-law a pillar of incense!"

I don't understand why he let him do it, and he's reluctant.

Although the daughter-in-law of the Qin family is pitiful, we don't recognize it, why should we incense her?

But tonight, I borrowed to stay at Da Lao Hai's house, and he said so, how could I refuse!

"That's fine!"

Da Laohai didn't turn off the lights again, but got off the kang, put on his shoes and took an umbrella and walked out.

"Uncle, what are you doing!"

"I'll go out and I'll be back soon."

When we were the only ones in the room, I turned around and picked up my cousin.

"You're a mush kid in your head! What nonsense to say? ”

The cousin may feel wronged, and grinned and explained: "Cousin! You...... Why do you say that about me, what am I talking nonsense? Let...... Let my sister-in-law give a review! ”

Wang Manyu didn't speak, and her face was flushed by her cousin's "sister-in-law".

"Yes! The woman on the bridge did have a red birthmark on her face like a child's slap, and I saw it too! ”

"Look? My sister-in-law also saw it! ”

I glanced at the two of them: "Do you still need to say this?" But it's not appropriate for us to say this, once we say it, I'm afraid it will have a big impact on this village! ”

They both understood what I meant, and both nodded and stopped talking.

After waiting for about half an hour, Da Laohai came back from outside, and when he entered the house, his clothes were wet.

"Uncle, it's raining so hard, why are you still going out!" Seeing him come back, the cousin sat up directly.

"Go to the Qin family and see if you can help!"

"Oh!" My cousin glanced at me, probably afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he didn't ask any more.

"Uncle, if there is anything to help, we also want to contribute!" I followed his words.

"It's not too busy!" Lao Dahai smiled bitterly and put the umbrella away, "Her man is back, if there is nothing wrong, he will go to the town tomorrow to open the cremation certificate and send it to the crematorium in the afternoon - there is not even a child, and the funeral is simple." ”

Maybe it's because I've thought about it too much, I always feel that since I heard my cousin say that we met the daughter-in-law of the Qin family at the entrance of the village, Da Laohai has become preoccupied, but people don't want to say it, and we don't want to ask deeply.

After more than half an hour, the rain stopped, and the old king took another look at his worn-out old pocket watch.

"I'll take you to Qin's house to put incense on the pillar! If it's okay, after the incense, you come back to sleep, and I'll leave him at home to help. ”

"Okay!"

The three of them hurriedly got up and followed Da Laohai out of the door.

The air in the mountain village after the rain is very fresh, but it is a little cool, fortunately, the old Hai family is not far from the Qin family.

When I walked into the courtyard of the Qin family, I saw only a young man sitting in the mourning shed with red and swollen eyes, the young man was wearing the uniform of a factory worker, and he wiped his tears from time to time.

I don't need to ask to know that this is the man of the little daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect to go out to work once, and my daughter-in-law had an accident, and the two have never seen each other since then.

Walking into the mourning shed, my cousin hid behind me, and when I looked up, I saw a large black and white photo of a woman on the offering table, which was the female ghost we had met on the bridge earlier.

When the incense was offered, I silently muttered in my heart: We just passed through your village, and we should not come again in the future, today's matter, I am really embarrassed! We'll give you incense, even if it's an apology!

After putting on the incense, he glanced at the young man sitting on the side, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable, so he took out three hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it over.

"We're passing by—mourning!"

At first, he said that he would not accept anything, but Da Lao Hai persuaded him, and then he cried and held the money in his hand.

"Alright! Go back to sleep! ”

We waved our hands.

When I got back to Da Laohai's house, I lay down and fell asleep.

I was sleeping soundly, but I felt someone on my left side pull me several times.

As I panicked, I felt like my scalp was being electrified, and my eyes opened suddenly.

The room was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything, but I heard Wang Manyu's mosquito-like sound.
