Chapter 12: Weirdly Normal
"What if you don't go back, you don't want your baby's life." After Huang Ye finished speaking, he turned over and leaned his back against the fire.
I don't have to doubt him now, the rancid smell under his clothes is getting worse and worse.
After an hour of sleep, the sky was slightly bright.
Huang Ye stood up suddenly, put out the fire directly, and motioned for me to enter the village with him.
The village was quiet, and I looked around vigilantly with a dagger in my hand.
Those villagers before really scared me.
"If you don't have any interest, go boldly and go back to make up for sleep."
Huang Ye glanced at me with disdain, and quickened his pace and walked towards the old Wang's house.
Lying in bed again, what I had experienced before was like a dream.
After a night of tossing, I quickly fell asleep after being physically and mentally exhausted.
I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, I found that the sound outside was unusually noisy.
Getting up and looking out, I was frightened and held the dagger in my hand again.
Outside, the white cloth roof has covered all the courtyards of Lao Wang's house, and all the villagers have come, sitting on the table in the roof and eating. It seems that they are participating in Lao Wang's white affairs as if nothing happened.
Seeing the village chief and Huang Ye sitting at the same table, I was directly stunned.
"Xiao Cheng, get up, hurry up and eat." Huang Ye saw me and hurriedly waved at me.
While beckoning, he is still giving me a look.
I understood what he meant, and sat down beside him quietly.
"Master Huang, they? We're going to be fine, are we? "I looked at the villagers and my heart went up and down.
Hearing my question, Huang Ye also lowered his voice and said in my ear; "Don't worry, they can't remember. But it's only temporary, let's get things done and get back quickly. ”
Since Lao Wang is a five-guarantee household and has no children, many links in the middle of the white matter are directly omitted.
In the morning, the meal was for the villagers who came to help, and in the afternoon, it was for the guests who came from afar. Now there are definitely no more guests, but this meal is not saved.
Because the rule here is to carry the coffin out early in the morning and go up the mountain into the ground.
Therefore, if you want to be buried in the earth, you have to eat tomorrow morning, so you still have a meal to eat in the afternoon.
I came into the village with Huang Ye just to wait for tonight.
After the meal, we said hello to the village chief, and the two of us went to the grave well dug for Lao Wang in the village under the pretext of looking at feng shui.
"You watch here, I'll go and set it up nearby."
"After finishing tonight, go back and get a good night's sleep, the main thing is tomorrow night, just like last night, even more dangerous than last night. You have to be prepared. ”
Huang Ye vacated the contents of his bag and swayed back and forth nearby.
I don't know what he's arranging, and I don't have the heart to care about him at this moment.
I lifted my clothes just now and took a look, and there were two more festering places on my body, and the wriggling maggots made me vomit directly, and now the whole person is dizzy.
And I tried to cut the carrion with a dagger, and it didn't hurt at all.
I don't even know if I'm a human being right now.
"Boom ......"
A huge thunderclap resounded throughout the mountain village.
The weather was fine just now, but in the blink of an eye, dark clouds were thick.
Huang Ye and I had just run halfway when the pouring rain fell from the sky.
The villagers under the white tarpaulin were still busy, unaffected by the heavy rain. Even the blowers came, blowing suona in the heavy rain, which looked particularly sad.
Next to the coffin in the hall, a black-and-white photo of Lao Wang hangs there.
This is the first time I've seen this photo since I entered the village, and I don't know where I got it.
Seeing this, I can't help but sigh, so familiar people are gone in a blink of an eye.
By the time the meal was finished in the afternoon, it was already dark.
The villagers helped pack up their things and went home.
Only Huang Ye and I stood at the door, watching the rain that was still pouring.
The rain had no intention of stopping, and it rained all afternoon.
"Hurry back to the house and close the door, the yin air outside is getting heavier and heavier." Huang Ye said with a solemn face.
I was shocked and closed the door and asked, "Aren't they like last night?" ”
"Who knows?"
