Chapter 113 Chapter 25 Death

The cousin's body was lying in the ancestral hall, still dripping water, and there was a screen in front of the body. Outside the screen, all the able-bodied members of the Wu family had arrived and sat on the bench, while my father sat in the main seat. Pressing his forehead, he could hardly speak, this time he was really devastated. My third uncle and I both huddled in the corner, and the iron basin for burning paper money that had just been extinguished was taken out again, and several female relatives started burning paper again, and the men were smoking desperately.It's almost Chinese New Year, and it's really unlucky for something like this to happen.

The second uncle and a few other people checked the corpse inside, and the police from the village also came. Before going to the field, these were all good people.After a while, the police came out, and the second uncle followed and gestured for us to follow. I took an umbrella and went to the village police station, which was actually just an office, and explained the matter. The three of us sat and squatted under the eaves outside the police station, feeling very melancholy.The third uncle was smoking a cigarette, looked at the sky and didn't speak. Naturally, the relationship with the cousin would not be that deep. These people are quite open to death, but it's just an unpleasant matter.

"It was drowned." The second uncle said: "Yesterday we finished going back and maybe poured a few cups for those Taoist priests. It was a bit too much, and when we came back, it rolled into the stream, but it rained heavily at night, and it just disappeared. " "What's with the blood?" "When I was washed by the water in the stream, my body was scratched in a mess." The second uncle shook his head: "It's full of holes, and the bones can be seen. It's too miserable." "Let's not talk about those snails?" Third Uncle said.

"Who will believe it? You said that our village sent out all the departments like the X-Files?" I said. The third uncle smoked and threw the butt of the cigarette into the rain.Once the cousin died, he couldn't return to Hangzhou at the scheduled time, and now that someone died, the nature of the matter changed, and the things involved in it were even more troublesome.Because Biaogong is the one who speaks louder in our lineage, usually relying on his prestige to overwhelm the people below, he carried my father to be the patriarch. There will be more and more troubles without words.Especially in the past few days, my cousin has been talking with us in secret, others must have seen it, and he must have said something.

"If he really fell down by himself, I feel at ease." Third Uncle said. I nodded. Cousin can drink very well. No one would believe that he would get drunk. After all, people here drink alcohol with a certain degree of mung bean burning. The tofu feast is Jiannanchun, which is still low-alcohol. The person who is afraid is someone If you drink too much, this wine is like boiled water to the people here. "But he is old, who knows." I comforted myself. "Nephew, I can't see this matter. When the rain stops, we have to go to the town to buy pesticides. Damn it, let's fight those snails!" The third uncle scolded his mother: "Look who kills who. "

I sighed, and said that I was really holding my breath. I came all the way here in the winter to compete with the snails. How the hell did I live this year? I also began to think about the things in Hangzhou. Well, classmate Wang Meng will go home in a few days, is it closed early?The things here are endless, and I don't know when it will end.I have a hunch in my heart that if this matter cannot be resolved satisfactorily, I may never come back again. At this time, I saw my second uncle staring at the gutter in a daze, as if thinking about something, so I patted him: "Second uncle, what are you thinking about?"

The second uncle came back to his senses and said, "I have a problem that I can't figure out." "What's wrong?" The third uncle came over. "You don't find it strange, why does that thing keep running into our yard? We live a little far from the stream." "Hey." When the second uncle said it, I was also shocked. Indeed, I never thought of it. "What's its purpose?" The second uncle stood up and said to himself, looking at the third uncle and staring at him. The third uncle was very uncomfortable for him to see, why? The second uncle said: "Third, be honest, did you do something that we don't know about?"
