Chapter 153: This Is the Matter
"What do you want me to believe you?"
When you spend it, you don't ask angrily.
Hua Yu blinked: "I believe I didn't do it." ”
He said it as a matter of course......
"It's happened, what's the use of me believing it or not?"
…
In less than two days, three people died, the first two drowned, and carried the body back that night, the old man who was paralyzed in bed, heard that his wife and son drowned before and after, and he was not in good health, and this stimulation also followed......
Less than a month after the year, news of death came out in the village one after another, although the villagers knew that it was an accident, but the major events of life and death, coupled with the fact that they witnessed the corpses and the dazzling bloodstains, could not help but make people panic.
This incident spread widely, and it also became a chatter among the villagers after dinner......
In order to appease the restless people, the village chief Li Yue made an exception and invited a goddess who only came out once a year, and on the first seven days, he overspent the funerals of the two families.
Buried on this day, in the ancestral hall of the Hua family, more than a dozen big men, carrying three heavy coffins, walked all the way to the west of the village.
Along the way, watching the lively villagers, while chasing and watching, they lowered their voices and muttered and discussed.
Hua Shi walked at the front of the line, holding the Li spirit card in his hand, his head down, and everywhere he could see, there was white and heavy snow.
Half a step behind her were Hua Xiao and Hua Li, two twins who were only a little taller than her waist, holding the spirit cards of Hua Ciyuan and Old Man Hua, and the low sobbing cries of the two could be vaguely heard.
And in front of her, is Hua Yu, with both hands high and wooden sticks, and there are several white bands tied to the top of the sticks.
Since then, the elders of the Hua family have all died, and Hua Yu is the eldest grandson of the Hua family, and the name of the head of the household will be moved to his name.
Today is the first seven days of the Li family and the old man Hua, and the first seven days of Hua Ciyuan passed yesterday, but the village chief Li Yue told her that today will let the goddess come over to spend the soul, and in order to make things convenient, he will keep a piece of burial, saying that it is not bad for half a day.
In addition, if it snows in winter, the corpse will not stink if it is left for two more days, so there is naturally no objection when it is flowered.
The sound of the horn and suona in the ears was piercing and non-stop, and the mourning mother-in-law and children behind him were all crying hard at the top of their voices.
Along the way, the sharp and piercing suona sound, coupled with the sound of crying, was endless.
When the flower hangs its head, it is silent.
If you look closely, you can see that her lower legs are a little shivering at this time, and her shoes and socks are in the snow, and she only feels that one pair of legs is numb and cold, and she is almost unconscious.
She and Hua Yu knelt in the ancestral hall and guarded the spirit for seven days, during which they never left.
Because most of the time she knelt in front of the coffin and burned spiritual money, at this time, she was sleepy and tired, her legs were numb, and her spiritual energy was exhausted in these seven days.
She wanted to hurry up and get a good night's sleep in a hot bath.
Alas......
Her eyelids were fighting, but the sound of suona in her ears that was so sharp that it almost punctured her eardrums forced her to tense her spirits.
She raised her eyes slightly, looked straight ahead, looked at Hua Yu in good spirits, her eyes fell on his straight back, and then fell down again.
After Li's death, Hua Yu's back, which had been lying on her back, straightened up unconsciously.
You can see it...... He was very satisfied with the goal of doing everything possible to achieve the goal......
"Stop ——!"
Her thoughts swirled, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that she had reached the place of burial.
Hua Shi raised his head slightly, looked around, and a trace of doubt flashed on his face.
Since it's a cemetery, why don't you see a tombstone around here...?
Before she could react, the shrill horn stopped, leaving only the mourners at the end of the line, sobbing lowly.
The dozen or so people carrying the coffin seemed to have been informed in advance, and walked in one direction familiarly.
When he saw them, he saw that they had opened a long, dense vine, revealing the mouth of the cave hidden inside.
The entrance to the cave was so dark and deep from the outside that it was impossible to see anything.
Then, the three coffins were carried into the cave, and the people standing outside could only see their vanished backs.
After about four or five minutes, the dozen or so people carrying the coffin came out again, and the peeled vines were resealed......
"Uncle Hua, this coffin is placed in the cave? Don't you bury it? ”
Hua Shi turned his head to look at Hua Tingjing, who was standing in the crowd, took two steps forward, and asked in a low voice the doubts in his heart.
Hearing this, Hua Tingjing turned his head and explained: "You are still young, you may not know that when our ancestors first came here, they fled and ran here, and at that time, it was also as cold as now, cold and hungry, and many people froze to death. At that time, there was no way to bury people when they died, so they found a cave and buried them in it, and since then, this custom has also been handed down. ”
Hua Shi listened to it for a while.
Hua Tingjing continued: "Don't look at this cave from the outside, there is a hole inside, the coffins of the whole village can fit ...... in it."
As if he felt that his words were inappropriate, Hua Tingjing hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hey, don't say such unlucky words!" ”
"But don't worry, this cave has already been seen, the four seasons are cold, the coffin is put inside, it is not so easy to break, and the corpse is not so easy to stink, so put it in, even if it is buried, the tablet is placed in the ancestral hall and at home, it is the same."
Hua Ting Jing saw that she pursed her lips and didn't speak, so she was relieved again.
Although Hua Shi didn't understand the habit passed down in this way, under Hua Tingjing's relieved gaze, he still nodded and didn't ask any more.
However, judging from Hua Tingjing's words, it is estimated that there are a lot of coffins piled up in this cave, and the clansmen surnamed Hua have died, and they have all been moved here.
It is estimated that the remaining three surnames are handled in much the same way......
After the coffin was put into the cave, the coffin was carried, the horn suona was blown, and the mourners were scattered, leaving only a few people standing on the empty snow.
Before Hua Tingjing left, he patted Hua Yu on the shoulder, and comforted the four sisters and brothers: "Don't be too sad, you still have to live in the future, if you have any difficulties, come to your uncle and say it's okay, uncle can help the designated help." ”
So far, a large number of people, in the end, only four sisters and brothers remained.
Hua Xiao and Hua Li hugged the tablet, lowered their heads, and wiped their tears one by one.
After crying for so many days, both of them had swollen eyes from crying.
It wasn't until the coffin disappeared and the crowd dispersed that the two and a half children reacted in a trance, and the elders in the family were really all... Dead, never again......
I can't tell what it felt, I was shocked and frightened, and I was at a loss like never before.
In the future, they will not only be motherless children, but also orphans without fathers and grandmothers......
"Woo woo woo ......"
Hua Li didn't hold back the first one, and overflowed with a whimper.
Hua Xiao's tears also fell.
Hua Shi was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, turned his head to look at the two of them, and whispered: "It's windy outside, don't cry, the wind will blow into your stomach for a while, and you're going to get sick." ”
Hua Xiao raised her head with teary eyes, looked at Hua Shi, and then looked at the second brother not far behind her, and asked helplessly, "In the future... What are we going to do? ”
The milk is dead......
Although the milk has always been bad to them, they are the elders in the family and the pillars of the family......
Hua Shi was about to speak, and Hua Yu, who had been staring at the entrance of the cave behind him, suddenly turned around, looked at the two cowardly siblings with an expressionless face, and said in a cold voice:
"What to do? Isn't it a good thing that they're dead? Do you still want them to come back to life? ”
The words and sentences of this rhetorical question are obviously aggressive.
Hua Xiao was shocked by the strong tone of the second brother, opened her mouth, hiccuped, shook her head helplessly, and said, "No, no...... Second brother, how are you... Finish? ”
In the past few days since their death, the second brother has been becoming very strange, with strange eyes and strange speech...... It's very fierce, so that she can't help but be scared.
Hua Yu swept the red and swollen eyes of the two of them, her face unconsciously became a little more gloomy, and she asked in a low voice abruptly, "You... What are you crying about? ”
Hua Xiao shrunk her neck, didn't dare to look at the eyes of her second brother, and muttered, "Cry... Cry? ”
Shouldn't you cry......
Hua Li was also frightened by the gloomy appearance of the second brother, stopped crying, raised his eyes in a panic, and hurriedly lowered his sour eyelids.
The second brother is angry with them?
Hua Li doesn't remember the last time the second brother was angry......
Before, the second brother always talked very little and was very quiet. Only when he came back with food to eat for them, he would say two words, but the second brother would never get angry, even if he was beaten and scolded by his milk, sick, or injured... The second brother would never be so angry as he is now......
"Second, second brother, don't be angry..."Hua Li said in a trance, carefully choking his voice.
The look on Hua Yu's face still did not change, and he looked at the two of them coldly, no one knew what he was thinking.
"Huayu, okay."
Hua Shi on the side, frowning, softly broke the stalemate atmosphere.
She didn't turn her head to look at Hua Yu, but said to Hua Xiao and the two, "Let's go back." ”
Hua Shi said, patted Hua Xiao and Hua Li's trembling shoulders, and took the two of them back.
As for what kind of expression Hua Yu was behind him, Hua Shi didn't have the strength to think about it at all......
After that conversation, Hanatoki's mood has not calmed down until now.
She thought that Hua Yu was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, but her personality was a little paranoid, but she was definitely not a bad-hearted person......
But knowing that the design of Huayu almost killed three lives, the way of feeling when the flower had to change dramatically......
Before that, she lived in a society governed by the rule of law, but all people with normal views were... Wouldn't choose to kill.
Even if those people are vicious and brutal, they shouldn't die like this......
If you want to take revenge on a person and make yourself angry, there are a thousand ways to do it without killing him.
It's not worth it to let yourself have human lives on your hands for a few scumbags......
When the flower is weak, it is sad again.
Although I don't agree with Huayu's approach, the matter has come to this point, and there is no turning point.
Hua Yu seems to be a different person now, that irritable and irritable, gloomy and dark eyes, no matter what you say, he is staring at you coldly like this, and he can't listen to you at all.
Hua Shi hadn't figured out how to face him yet, so in the past seven days, she chose to avoid talking to Hua Yu when she almost calmed down.
She didn't feel how angry and sad Li's death made her......
In the final analysis, she has known the two of them for less than half a year, and coupled with Li and Hua Ciyuan's indifferent and self-interested temperament, after half a year, there is no emotion.
On the contrary, she invested more feelings in Hua Xiao's poor children. She also intends to get closer to them, and when she has the ability to be independent, she will take them to confront the Li family head-on, and give them better within the scope of her ability, which can be regarded as the responsibility she has taken over this body......
However, Hua Yu's behavior caught Hua Shi off guard.
So much so that now, she doesn't know how to get along with Huayu well, and can she still get along peacefully? ……
She was even starting to get a little worried.
Hua Yu's hatred for the Li family was beyond her thoughts, so much so that she would kill her by any means...
So the person who broke his leg, will the boy let her go so easily...?
Even in the past six months, she has changed significantly, but during the time he has been with Hua Yu, he doesn't seem to have changed much about her.
The human eye does not deceive.
After looking at each other a few times, Hua Yu's eyes were cold and heavy, as if she was looking at something.
Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat appeared on the back of the flower.
"Uh......h Second brother, what's wrong? ”
Hua Xiao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, wiped her tears with one hand, turned around and asked her in a choked voice.
Hua Shi's train of thought was interrupted, and his footsteps stopped, and he raised his eyes to look around, and unconsciously walked back to the village road, not far from the alley in the courtyard of the Hua family.
"I don't know."
Hua Shi came back to his senses, looked at the little girl with teary eyes, and said truthfully.
Her eyes couldn't help but be a little complicated.
There's a good chance that your second brother will attack me as well......
Sigh silently when you spend it.
Hua Li blinked her red and swollen eyes, and when she looked at Hua, she muttered in a low voice: "Second brother, why do you feel like a different person...?" ”
It becomes scary......
After some cranky thoughts, Hua Shi lost the mood to comfort the two.
"Hello?! Spend time! Is that you?! ”
At the mouth of the alley not far away, a shrill female voice suddenly came, shouting at the three of them.
Hua Shi raised his eyes and looked carefully, but he didn't recognize who the person was.
"You are?"
Waiting for the people to trot closer, Hua Shi blinked his somewhat sour eyes and asked.
The person who came was dressed in a bright red coat and dress, his face was painted with red fat powder, and his small eyes widened a little because of disbelief.
"Me! I'm Shucui! How long has it been since I saw you? You don't remember me? ”
Li Shucui glared and glanced at Hua Shi dissatisfiedly.
After seeing her emaciated and haggard appearance, I couldn't help but feel a little proud, coughed lightly, and didn't bother to bother with her: "Hey, don't talk to you about that, I heard that your grandmother and your grandfather are dead?" ”
When she said this, even if she tried to suppress it, she still couldn't control it, overflowing with a bit of schadenfreude.
The smile pressed by his eyebrows and eyes leaked out.
Flower time: ......
"If it's okay, I'll go first."
Hua Shi vaguely remembered this person, but now that she was in a messed mood, she didn't have time to take care of her.
"Oops! Don't worry, look at your impatience, you haven't changed at all, I see that your family spent a lot of money on funerals, right? All the money has been wiped out? I'm here to tell you good news, don't be so unappreciative, I don't want to say anything to the people next to me, I saw that you and I are good friends, so I came to tell you. ”
Li Shucui grabbed Hua Shisheng, and said a lot of crackling, for fear that Hua Shi would turn around and leave like this, and his hand was very tight.
Hua Shi only felt that the wrist that was pinched was a little painful, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes stared at Li Shucui coldly.
Hua Shi paused, restrained the emotions on his face, and showed a sinister smile: "If you have something to say, say it quickly." My grandparents haven't passed their first seven years yet, so I'm in a hurry to take them home. ”
As she spoke, she raised the spirit card she was holding in her hand and stretched it towards Li Shucui's face.
Seeing this, Li Shucui was so frightened that she let go of her hand, her face turned a little whiter, and she snorted angrily: "What are you talking about?!" What to take home! Isn't it just a spirit card? ”
"I heard that on the seventh day after death, the soul will return to the spirit tablet, and I will wait for my relatives to bring it home for them."
Hua Shi's voice was a little lower, and he said seriously.
When Li Shucui heard this, he took a few steps back sharply, and his face turned a little pale.
The village is the most taboo about the soul of the dead......
