Qu Fu is the youngest son in the family, and he was out of tune before, and after becoming a parent, he only reined in for a while before he reverted to his old ways.

He has a lot of fox friends and dogs, who are idle, and occasionally don't come back for a few days in a row, and he doesn't know what to do outside.

Didn't return overnight.

The Qu family muttered two sentences and passed.

Only Qu Fu's wife Jiang was full of grievances, and when they got married, the Qu family gave a dowry of three taels of silver, and praised the person as having nothing in the sky and on the earth. Everyone in the family looked helpless, and persuaded her not to control men too harshly.

It's really embarrassing.

She was so angry that she drank an extra bowl of sweet potato porridge for breakfast.

Men are not at home, and sooner or later there will be dogs outside, and this woman will rely on her son in the end.

Jiang thought that it was best to conceive a child as soon as possible, so that there was a hope.

However, in the evening, Qu Fu had not returned.

Qu Laogen, the patriarch of the Qu family, frowned, "It's not like that, when Ah Fu comes back, you must talk about him well!" ”

Qu Mantian rolled his eyes, "Dad, don't worry, that kid is fine." ”

"Are you alright?" He stared at his son with a serious expression, "Did you hear that!" ”

Qu Mantian obviously remembered something, his heart tightened, and he nodded quickly, "I know Dad, don't worry, I promise to detain him at home." ”

Wang glanced at his daughter-in-law who was immersed in drinking porridge, and said with a smile, "Dad, what are you talking about, the young man has become a relative, he is an adult, and he is measured." ”

Qu Laogen snorted, "You guys just get used to it." ”

Wang's heart doesn't care, we are used to it, you are not used to it?

Don't say anything about anyone.

After the meal, the family went to the field to pull weeds, and Jiang stayed at home with his sister-in-law to do laundry, cook, mow and feed the chickens.

After a busy day, I ate coarse grain buns and gruel at night, and then fried a pot of wild vegetables, sprinkled a few hairy salts, and the entrance was an astringent taste, and the only bowl of steamed eggs was placed in front of the only male grandson in the family, not to mention a few girls, even adults couldn't help but swallow and salivate when they smelled it.

Jiang chewed on the wild artemisia, so bitter that her face wrinkled into buns.

The night is getting darker.

Until after eating, cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, the family went out for a stroll and came back, and there was no trace of Qu Fu.

Qu Laogen stood in the courtyard and looked at the sky, somehow, his heart was up and down, super unsteady, and extremely anxious, just like that summer evening, so hot that it made people panic, and always felt that something bad was going to happen.

"Mitsuta! Mitsuta! ”

"What's wrong Daddy?" Qu Mantian was packing up farm tools in the yard when he heard the voice and turned around and asked.

Qu Laogen put his hands behind his back, "You go to Li's house to have a look and call Ah Fu back." ”

Qu Mantian was speechless.

But seeing that Dad was in such a hurry, he stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go over." ”

As he spoke, he put down his head, patted the dirt on his body, and walked out quickly.

The Li family lives at the end of the village, and it takes more than half an hour to pass.

When Qu Mantian arrived, the Li family was having dinner, and when they heard him ask Qu Fu, they were all at a loss.

The third boy of the Li family came out with a bowl, "Uncle, Ah Fu, he drank wine last night and left, I also called him to rest for the night, he said that he was happy, he had something to do, and he had to go home." ”

"He's not at your house? But he didn't come home! Qu Mantian was stunned.

"I don't know about this, I guess I'm going to town." Li Sansan finished the rice in two bites.

Qu Mantian thought of his youngest son's inconsistencies, and asked his son where he usually went before leaving.

All the way home.

I'm hungry.

"What about people?" Qu Laogen didn't see anyone behind his son, so he hurriedly asked.

"It's going to town."

Qu Mantian returned while eating.

In town?

"Nothing will happen, will it?" Qu Laogen paced back and forth, his face anxious and panicked.

"What can happen, Dad, don't worry." There was a father and son in the yard, he walked over and lowered his voice, "Dad, don't keep talking about that at home, in case others guess it, I have already told my son, he won't be impulsive again." ”

"That's what I said, but in my heart, it's..."

"Oh, you're just scared, nothing happened to the boy outside in the past, he's an adult, should we let it go or let it go."

Qu Laogen moved his lips, and finally didn't say anything, sighed, just wanted to go back to the house, and immediately retracted the foot he stepped out, his eyes widened, "I feel like something has been forgotten, it's been more than a day, why hasn't anyone come to inform me to collect the body?" ”

Although they didn't plan to collect it, there was a process after the death row prisoner served his sentence.

When people die, their debts are gone, and they are in peace.

As for whether to go to the oil pot or cross the knife mountain after death, that is the matter of Lord Yama, and it has nothing to do with the world.

Qu Zhe's knife yesterday should have arrived in the afternoon.

"Is anyone from the county coming today?"

Qu Mantian shook his head.

Qu Laogen's cheek muscles tightened, "There won't be an accident, right?" ”

Qu Mantian rolled his eyes helplessly, "Dad, that's the county government, besides, it's time-consuming and laborious to run this trip, it's better to throw it in a mass grave, it's just right not to come, and it saves our family a meal of tea." ”

"But I'm always uneasy..."Qu Laogen looked at the sky, and darkness was overwhelming, mixed with inexplicable ferocity.

Qu Mantian thought of his youngest son, "Maybe Mi Tsai went to the county government today." ”

Qu Laogen was stunned, "No, Afu must be retrieved." ”

But now it's dark, how do you find it?

The family persuaded them only after they talked badly, and when they waited for dawn, the whole family set out to find someone.

I hope that the unconscious Ming'er will be at home early in the morning.

In this regard, Song Shi said, it won't take so long to reunite your family in the middle of the night.

Tonight is very windy, dark clouds are thick, and heavy rain is coming.

Qu Laogen woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, and he pushed his old wife next to him, "Get up and pour me a bowl of water." ”

The old wife opened her eyes in a daze, muttered a few words, opened the door and went to the kitchen.

It was dark in the room, and there was no light.

Qu Laogen waited for a while, and he was a little impatient, only to hear footsteps, and someone came in.

"Why is it so slow, labor and management are dying of thirst..."

He complained.

No one responded, and the old wife had always been a silent person, and he didn't expect an answer.

"Bring the water to the laborers!"

Footsteps approached.

It's not familiar, it's a little heavy.

In the dark night, Qu Laogen's heart was beating extremely fast, he sat up and grabbed the quilt, "Who is it?" ”

"Huh."

A chuckle sounded in the darkness, "It's only been a long time, why didn't my cousin even forget me." ”

The voice is strange and familiar.

Qu Laogen's pupils constricted, "Yes, it's you!" ”

"Isn't that me?"

A pair of cold and thin hands that were stronger than iron claws pinched his neck accurately, and the disgusting bloody gas poured into his nose, Qu Laogen couldn't break free, "You, since you're dead, you should go, go where you should go..."

The shackles tightened tighter and tighter, and he rolled his eyes.

Song Shi chuckled, "People and ghosts have different paths, but I really can't turn a blind eye, I am unwilling, and I can't let go." ”

Why not be reconciled?

What can't you put down?

Qu Laogen had difficulty breathing, tilted his head, and lost consciousness.
