After that, Zhixi and I didn't talk much.

When I arrived in the village, I rushed home as soon as possible.

However, the home was empty.

Even, there is no trace of anyone coming.

Strange, I took out the letter and looked at it again.

The letter only said that Uncle Li was in danger and asked me to go back to the village, but did not mention where I was in the village.

At this time, the door behind him was pushed open, and Zhixi walked in while holding her stomach and panting.

"I said, can you think about my feelings?"

"I'm just a girl, where can I outrun you?"

"I'm so tired this way, I'm angry!"

As soon as she entered the door, Zhixi was complaining there.

She pulled a stool and sat down, looked around, and asked, "What about your uncle?" ”

I ignored her, stared at the letter and looked at it, and suddenly, I thought of something, and my heart chuckled.

Through the window, I looked in the direction of the mountain behind me, and a bad feeling rose in my heart.

"They should be in the mountains by now!" I said.

"Huh? Still have to climb a mountain? Zhixi's eyebrows frowned slightly.

Immediately, she shook her head into a rattle: "Don't climb, don't climb, I'm too tired to walk." ”

"Or, Chen Xian, you go up the mountain by yourself, I'll wait for you here? Okay? ”

"Hmm." I answered, and went out to the back mountain.

This part of the road has made me feel extremely entangled and complicated.

For as long as I can remember, Uncle Li has told me more than once that he has already been in the back mountain and has chosen a cemetery for himself.

It is a feng shui treasure cave that can bless future generations, Uncle Li has no real descendants, but he stubbornly pressed my birth date into the grave, so that the blessing of the cemetery will fall on my head.

Once, after Uncle Li was drunk, he said to me: "Chen Xian, although I asked you to call me uncle, but in my heart, I have always regarded you as my child." ”

"It's a pity, I don't have the ability, I can't give you a good life, and if I leave one day, you remember to bury me in that chosen grave, and I will always watch you in heaven and bless you."

At that time, Uncle Li was strong and strong, and the word death was really far away from him...... Far away.

In addition, I am young and Uncle Li is drunk again, so I just think he is talking nonsense and playing drunk.

But now, the nonsense of the past is close at hand, giving people a sense of unreality.

The closer I got to the top of the mountain, the more apprehensive I became.

I want to speed up my pace so that I can see Uncle Li as soon as possible.

But I was worried that this would be the last time I would see Uncle Li.

Coming to the top of the mountain, I followed the path I remembered, into a large thicket.

When I was less than 100 meters away from the cemetery, I heard Uncle Shi's violent cough.

The cough instantly raised my nerves, and I quickened my pace through the bushes.

When the scene in front of the grave appeared to me, I stopped, and was overjoyed.

I saw that Uncle Li was sitting on the ground, with a ruddy face, talking and laughing with the uncle next to him, and talking happily.

Everything looked so good, I was excited to step forward, but I didn't pay attention to the stone under my feet and fell.

When I got up and looked up, all the good things I had just done were gone!

In front of the grave, a black-brown coffin was quietly placed, and a thin and small dry old man was curled up, leaning on the coffin to survive.

Next to the old man, Uncle Shi was half-squatting, whispering something to him, but the old man turned a deaf ear to this, looking ahead with a dull expression.

At that moment, my hands and feet were cold, like falling into the abyss, I completely forgot the pain of falling, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Uncle Li! ”

Hearing my shout, Uncle Li moved his stiff neck, slowly turned his head, and showed a bitter smile at me.

"Chen Xian, you're finally here......" Uncle Li said with difficulty, his voice was already hoarse to not look like him.

But it was this voice that I remembered for the rest of my life.

Because, that was the last thing Uncle Li said to me.

It was definitely the most painful day of my life.

I watched Uncle Li breathe in front of me, and I couldn't do anything about it.

I cried out in tears, and when I woke up, I remembered the ephemeral beauty I had just seen, and it turned out that it was just a paranoid fantasy in my heart.

"He refused to leave, saying that he would take a breath and say the last thing to you."

At this time, my uncle's words made my emotions collapse again.

Uncle Li in my memory, who is tall, will always stand up as soon as possible and block everything for me.

But when I carried him into the coffin, he was really light, as light as if he only had a skeleton.

I don't know exactly what happened to Uncle Li before his death, but fortunately, he didn't have any injuries on his body.

Of course, it doesn't mean much, but at least it makes me feel better looking at it.

Uncle Shi and I buried Uncle Li in the cemetery together, and by the time everything was done, it was already two hours later.

When the dearest person dies, no one can calm down in a short period of time, and I am the same.

Even, for a period of time after this, I often asked myself, is Uncle Li really dead?

Of course, it's not that there's something wrong with my brain, it's a trace.

However, these are all later words, so let's not mention them for the time being, let's go back to the present.

When I buried Uncle Li, I found that there was more than one coffin here.

In addition to the coffin for Uncle Li's burial, there is also a coffin of the same size, which is placed not far away.

I asked my uncle suspiciously, what was the purpose of the extra coffin.

Uncle Shi told me, "That's what I prepared for you." ”

All of a sudden, all sorts of jumbled thoughts flooded into my brain.

But soon, Uncle Shi's next sentence crushed all these thoughts.

"Chen Xian, you also know that this time, Jiang Shui and I were deceived by that yellow skin, cough cough ......"

"Jiang Shui's revenge, I have avenged it, but right now, your affairs are even more tricky, there are less than two days left before you are eighteen years old, such a short time, I want to find another living dead to continue your life, cough cough...... It's too late. ”

"So, I can only settle for the next best thing and choose to use a method called secondary burial and try it."

"What is a secondary burial?" I asked.

Uncle Shi explained that the traditional second burial, as the name suggests, is to bury a person's bones twice.

This method originated from the south, which was humid and full of insects and ants, and often had a few years of burial, and the coffin would decay and decay, so people would choose to dig up the bones and bury them in a new coffin.

Of course, Uncle Shi was going to give me a second burial, but it was not in the traditional sense, his plan was to let me lie in the coffin and be buried alive until the day of the eighteen-year-old catastrophe, and then dig it out, in order to hide from the eyes of the yin justice.

As for what is the second time, the reason is also very simple, I am a person who has already died once, at the beginning, Uncle Li wrapped me in animal skins, sent me to the mass grave in the mountains, and turned me into a living dead, which was my first burial, and now, this second burial, is naturally a second burial.
