Chapter 188: Three Letters
Uncle Cousin led the way, Deng Wanwan and I followed closely, the mountain village at night was almost pitch black, to the point where you couldn't see your fingers, but it was also a black eye, fortunately with his cousin here, the two of us crossed the ravine to the other half of the mountain village.
Although it is the same mountain village, Deng Wanwan's house and his uncle's house are separated by a ravine that is not deep or shallow, and the mountain village is also divided into east and west halves because of this ravine, and the straight-line distance is only seven or eight hundred meters, but because of the ravine, we walked for thirty-five minutes to the opposite side, and when we arrived at my uncle's house, it was already more than twelve o'clock in the evening.
After entering the door of the hall, I saw a critically ill middle-aged woman with deep-set eyes, bloodless face, and only a few hairs left, lying flat on the bed, her breath was meager, and her weak body could vaguely see a white mist-like human figure, which was slowly floating outward, but it only surfaced up a little bit and then returned to the body, and then floated up and down, and so on.
I know that the end of my aunt's day is today, and my soul no longer wants to stay in my lifeless body.
"Uncle, how is she doing, aunt?" Deng Wanwan asked anxiously, after all, this dying woman could be regarded as having saved her life.
Deng Wanwan's uncle is an honest man in the prime of life, flat head, black hair, dark skin exposed to the scorching sun for a long time, and he looks like he is in his early forties, although he is not at the peak of his body, but the tight white vest worn on his body still can't cover his majestic figure, especially the biceps of both arms, which are on my thighs.
"Hey, it's just a matter of the past day or two!" After speaking, the uncle wiped a handful of tears with his big rough hand, and then put his hand on the aunt's forehead and stroked it gently.
Deng Wanwan also shed tears of regret, she was really reluctant to let her aunt go, and kept squatting in front of the bed and watching silently, but seeing her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, she knew that she was also exhausted and really couldn't stand it.
"Xiao Wan'er, you can sleep first, I'll accompany her!" After the uncle finished speaking, Deng Wanwan stood up with a sigh.
My uncle's family is very poor, and it is not enough to describe it as a house with four walls, because the house is dilapidated, and brick powder is constantly falling on the brick house, which falls into the eyes from time to time, which makes people very uncomfortable.
After all, the third watch has passed, and people are very difficult, especially when I came all the way, it was really tiring, but in this hall except for the wooden bed where my aunt was lying, only the dilapidated bamboo recliner against the wall remained, even if I was sleepy, I couldn't lie down, because Deng Wanwan was my heart's meat, and I had to hold on to her first.
So, I found a wooden pier as a bench to sit next to Deng Wanwan and caress her to sleep, and in just one minute, Deng Wanwan fell asleep with a shallow snoring.
Then I moved the wooden pier near the door of the house, and stared at the dying aunt with my eyes wide as I could, waiting for her soul to leave my body, and by the way, to see if it was a cover for my dreams! And my subconscious always felt that I couldn't do it, who told my double eyelids to start fighting!
After an hour, I couldn't stand it anymore, my double eyelids were like lead poured into them, and I felt strained to hold them with my hands, and I kept falling down, and I closed my eyes in a trance, I don't know if I was asleep or taking a nap to relax temporarily?
"You're finally here, I've been waiting for you."
In my sleep, I heard someone muttering to me, and I woke up suddenly, but when I saw that there was no situation, my uncle was still stupidly guarding my aunt's bedside, but he was also sleeping, sleeping very deeply and deeply, Deng Wanwan was still asleep on the chaise longue, and as for my cousin, I was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to fall asleep again, I suddenly felt a spirit beside me, but it was not a malicious one, but it was as familiar as a covering......
I quickly stood up and opened my eyes wide, and when I saw it, the shallow white mist figure was the white mist body in my dream, and if nothing else, it was a cover.
It's just that its face has no facial features, so it's no wonder that I don't see it talking.
It slowly floated to my side and pointed to my bag as if it wanted to use the contents of my bag.
"My bag, you want me to open it, don't you?" I asked the pale spirit.
It couldn't speak, it just nodded to himself, and I understood what it meant.
I opened the bag, dumped all the contents out, stacked it in a row, and began to point it out.
When my finger was the first yellow wrap, it instinctively stepped back, and although it had no face and could not see its expression, its spirit was honest and nervous, afraid of my props.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you're not mortal, you wait a minute." Hurriedly stuffed the yellow package into the bag again, and pointed out the rest of the things to it one by one.
"Kettle?"
The spirit shook its head.
"Knives?"
The spirit shook its head again.
"So, compass?" I pointed to the compass that I needed to get around.
"It's not either, is it?" For a moment, I couldn't figure it out, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration.
"So, isn't that it?" This time, I pointed to the carbon pen.
The spirit without facial features nodded, and I instantly understood what it meant, and I wanted to write something with a pen, so I took out the notepad and pointed at it, and it nodded again, and now it was certain.
The notepad and pen were laid flat in front of it, and said, "The pen and paper are here, if you want to write it, do it yourself!" ”
The spirit with no facial features, floating in the air, half on its side, the notepad was opened, and the carbon pen was erected on it, rustling and writing......
I scratched my head embarrassedly, I was very curious about what he wrote, if it wasn't for a strong obsession, it wouldn't be after death, not leaving the world but staying in the world, since I want to write with pen and paper, it's too late to say words or unfulfilled wishes, I hope to write with pen and paper and ask someone to complete it.
Thinking about it, it is also well-intentioned, otherwise it would never have entered my dreams and repeatedly revealed some important information to me.
It didn't take long for it to finish, and the pen fell down, because there was no soul.
I picked up my notebook and looked at it, and the crooked words were swept by my eyes one after another.
"Thank you! During my serious illness, he has been taking care of me meticulously, my man died early, and I have been widowed for him for thirteen years, and you, too, are brainless, and have been waiting for me for thirteen years, a twenty-six-year-old young man, boiled into an old bachelor of almost forty! It's not that I don't want to promise you. Helpless, the deceased husband is your brother-in-law's younger brother...... This kind of nondescript fate, you can't ask for it, I'm sorry for you, after I die, you can find another girl's house to live! If there is an afterlife, I think I will choose from a new one! Huansheng, I wish you happiness! ”
Dense words are written all over the page, but looking at the meaning of this spirit, Huansheng in the letter should be the uncle who has been guarding and taking care of his aunt, who is so infatuated, and the aunt abides by women's morals, afraid of other people's gossip, and the eyes of the world do not accept such a good man...... I can't help but wonder, in this era, is the penetrating chastity of widowhood really important?
A page was turned, and there was a new epistle.
"Xiao Wan'er, my aunt and your uncle have no children, so they can only treat you as their own children, when you were eight years old, you went to play with your friends in the town, and you encountered a ghost hitting the wall, which made you lose your way and couldn't get out. Fortunately, my aunt, I found someone to call you soul, so I called you back. Now that you have grown into a big girl, I am very happy, you have your own home, live well, my aunt is bless you below. ”
It turned out that the person who shouted Deng Wanwan out of the town was found by her aunt, this cover is really hearted, I learned from this letter written by the ghost, I realized its deep love and care for Deng Wanwan, I envy Wanwan, there is the love of relatives, and I have followed the master since I can remember, and there are only a few brothers who play with me, I have no home and no relatives, this is my regret and missing.
Another page was flipped and there was a letter.
"Young man, I don't know you, but I thank you, you finally came to where you should be, for Xiao Wan'er, you worked hard to go down to the town, resolve the resentment of the three resentful souls, and save Xiao Wan'er! I know you can do it...... Thank you for your kindness! ”
This last letter is for me, so short!
I looked at the featureless spirit again, as if it had five features on its blank face, expecting me.
Since it is Deng Wanwan's karma, I have to bear it, so I said: "Go with peace of mind, I will do my best to fulfill your wish!" ”
The spirit was very grateful, and floated in mid-air, kowtowing to me on its knees, and suddenly, its face had facial features, and after a knowing smile, it turned into a cloud of green smoke and flew away.
I looked at Deng Wanwan and his uncle, who were still asleep, and tore off the two pages of the notebook and placed them in front of them.
I tore down a blank page and wrote, 'Wan'er, I'll go and resolve your karma, rest in peace and wait for me to come back, don't leave until I come back, uncle's house, remember!'" ’
When the time came, he collected all the items scattered on the ground into his bag, and went out on his back and walked outside, thinking of finding a local to inquire where the town was, and going to meet the three undead for a while.
Some people died, but not completely......
