After the fat man left, I went to buy some things for the Spring Festival, pasted the couplets, and hung a pair of red lanterns.

In life, there must always be a sense of ritual.

The street is full of New Year's flavor, and the lights are everywhere, which is particularly festive.

As soon as the door closed, the excitement had nothing to do with me.

I waited until Chinese New Year's Eve, and I didn't wait for Xu Yuanzhi to come back.

In the evening, it snowed heavily, and I wrapped dumplings around the stove by myself.

I didn't wrap it well, it was crooked, and I always felt awkward like this dumpling.

In the first two years, he was accompanied by the gray master, but now he is alone.

What a bleak year.

After cooking the dumplings, I brought them to the phone, looking forward to Xu Yuanzhi's call, but until the dumplings were cold, the phone didn't ring.

What did Xu Yuanzhi and Kuroko do?

Don't even give me a call on days like this!

Is he roasting game around a fire with sunspots in a ruined temple? Or in the mountains, snuggling up to each other with sunspots to keep warm?

It's true that you miss your relatives every festive season.

The New Year's Eve bell rang, and the firecrackers outside were deafening with colorful firecrackers, but I burst into tears.

I stood in the doorway, looking at the snow, and my mind was already flying away......

In the third year of junior high school, I called the fat man according to his agreement, but this unobtrusive ramming was turned off.

If I hit again at night, I still turned off the phone, and I muttered in my heart.

Even if you can't think about it, you can't turn it off, right?

The fourth and fifth days of junior high school...... Until the seventh day of the new year, the fat man's phone did not go through, and the person did not come back.

I panicked, could it be that something had happened?

So, I decided to go to his house.

I found the address he had left for me when he left, bought a ticket, and stepped into the car to his house.

The fat man's home is in Yongzhou, not too far from Jinyi, more than 200 kilometers.

Four hours later, I left the station, bought some gifts, took a taxi, and hurried to the village where the fat man's house was.

When I got off the bus, it was already dark, and there were a few street lamps in the village, so I found a small shop in the dim light, went in and inquired, but only asked about the approximate location.

When I got there, I was going to ask someone more, but it was freezing and I really didn't see anyone on the street for a while.

After passing through a few more alleys, I walked towards a house with a light on in front of my house.

When I got closer, I realized that the light was not from a light bulb, but a candle.

At the door of this family, there is a circle of candles, and in the middle of all the candles, there is a black coffin!

This is not an ordinary coffin, but a small coffin, more than a meter long, directly across the door!

What's even more bizarre is that these candles are very resistant to the wind, and the cold north wind does not blow them out, but only shakes the flames back and forth.

I stared at the coffin for a while, and thought to myself, "What's going on?"

Stopping the spirit is very particular.

At the end of life, the family members of the person will set up a mourning hall at home, and the coffin will be parked in the mourning hall or courtyard.

People who die in an accident cannot be carried home, and most of them do not want to leave after being carried in, and will stay at home to make trouble, so such people generally build a funeral shed on the street.

It's the first time I've seen a coffin blocked in front of my house, and it's a frustrating thing.

What's more, judging from the body of this coffin, it should be filled with a child, isn't there a child who has stopped his spirit?

That's a weird thing!

Out of curiosity, I was going to go up and open the coffin to take a look.

But I had just taken a few steps forward when the closed door suddenly creaked open.

A middle-aged man and a woman came out of the door, looking like a husband and wife.

They glared at me, visibly stunned, and then looked at the coffin with nervous faces.

Seeing that the coffin was unharmed, he showed a relieved look.

"Get the baby out!"

The man touched the woman and said.

The woman nodded, stepped forward and lifted the lid of the coffin, and took out a small child wrapped in swaddling clothes.

This kid can move, live!

What's going on? Why did they put a living child in a coffin?

"Ouch, it's still hot!" The woman touched the child's forehead, looking anxious.

The man looked at the child and frowned tightly.

Dare to love this child is sick!

But why don't you go to the hospital and put him in a coffin instead?

Does this reduce fever? Why don't you go to the hospital?

"What do you see? Let's go, let's go, let's go......"

When the man saw that I had been standing and watching, he got angry and drove me away with a tiger face.

It's really rude to stare at people like this, I turned around and left, but after taking two steps, I still couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but turn around and say: "If the child is sick, go to the hospital, can you cure the disease in this way?" ”

After I finished speaking, the man glared at me, didn't talk to me anymore, pulled the woman, and the two of them ran into the door with the child in their arms, and closed the door with a "bang".

This is really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know the hearts of good people.

In that case, I'm going to have to take a look and see what the hell you're up to!

I tiptoed to his door, gently lifted the lid of the coffin, and looked inside.

There was only one stone in the coffin, and a red thread was tied to the stone.

What is this?

I picked up the stone in confusion, and after a closer look, I realized that it was actually a small stone man, with a nose and eyes, and all facial features.

It's just that this stone figure is more abstract, and at first glance it can't be seen at all, and I don't know if it was deliberately carved like this, or if it naturally grew like this.

The red thread was tied around the stone man's waist, and I didn't know what it was.

I didn't see anything famous, so I put the stone back in the coffin, closed the lid, and left with a stomach full of doubts.

I just walked two steps, and finally met a man in his forties and fifties, eighty percent came out to visit the door, holding a flashlight in his hand.

I hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Uncle, let me ask you something, do you know where Lin Yang's family lives?" ”

"Lin Yang?" The man tilted his head, but didn't remember.

This is not to blame him, many people only call the nickname in the village, and the tuba is shouted outside, and basically no one knows except for his own family.

Seeing this, I hurriedly added: "I'm the same age as me, quite tall and fat, and I went to college in Jinyi." ”

Hearing me say this, the man suddenly realized: "I know, it's the son of Lin Dazhuang's family, I happened to pass by his door, by the way, you can follow me." ”

I thanked him and followed him.

The man was very talkative, and as he walked, he asked me, "How old is the young man?" If you don't listen to the accent, where is home? What are you doing here......"

I dealt with it briefly, and after a few words, I turned around and asked the doubts in my heart: "Why is there a small coffin at the door of that family?" What's the point of that? ”

The man replied casually: "That's a doll tied to the Devil Cub Ridge, guilty of three coffins and five tribulations, and put it in the coffin to avoid the coffin, didn't it scare you?" ”
