Because of the sudden death of the third aunt, we did not go back, but returned to the village. This is what my mother meant, and we did not leave until after attending the funeral of the third aunt.
And the funeral of the third aunt was held very quickly. According to Mr. Bazi who specially showed the time in the village, the day after tomorrow is the best day, so the third aunt would only park for one day and be buried after returning.
When I asked Luo Wen to go to the village to investigate, I probably told about the third person in the car, that is, the strange corpse. Just now, Luo Wen was still unwilling. I threatened and lured, and I asked Huang Xiaolong to show it off Luo Wencai reluctantly agreed.
What makes me feel strange and puzzled is that the people in the village seem to have no reaction to this, as if they don't believe in it at all. I don't know when the village that has always been superstitious has become so convinced of science.
I have always paid attention to the reactions of the people in the village. Everyone is very sad.
Wu Jian told me that from his professional point of view, there is only one possibility for the villagers to react like this, that is, they don't think that weird corpse will ignore the third aunt, and Wu Jian even gave me a creepy The conclusion is that everyone in the village may know the existence of that strange corpse.
Although I don't want to admit it, I understand in my heart that only in this way can the villagers' reactions be justified, but, is the third aunt really just a car accident
There are more and more secrets in the village. Every day, Wu Jian and Huang Xiaolong and I talk for a long time, but we know too little information, and we are always in circles.
When the third aunt was buried, it was raining lightly. According to the village's custom, the coffin would walk along the outermost road of the village to express the soul's nostalgia for home. Almost everyone in the village was in the funeral procession. .
Wu Jian and Huang Xiaolong and I walked at the end of the line, looking at the painful crowd in front of us. To be honest, my third aunt and I only knew each other. Most of what the three of us discussed at the end was that weird corpse.
The corpse had been kept at the police station. Shortly after sending the third aunt on the road, Luo Wen called and said that some old people in the village had gone to the police station to get the corpse back. This further showed that people in the village They all knew the corpse.
Whether this corpse is one of the ancestors who protected the village, I can't make up my mind.
"Look." Wu Jian pointed in a direction with his eyes, and whispered to me, "Is it the girl you mentioned?"
I looked over, and there was a thin figure wiping tears, wrapped in a white shroud, just behind the uncle who was far away on the roadside. It was the little girl.
I remembered what the old man in the village said to me, and sighed: "The third aunt is very kind to the little girl, this girl is probably here to see the third aunt off."
The little girl has been hiding in the woods, following the funeral procession, knowing that the procession has re-entered the village, she stopped in the woods at the head of the village, and watched off the third aunt.
The third aunt was finally buried in the ancestral grave, which also shows that the strange corpse has something to do with the village.
After lunch, my mother asked us to go on the road again. I really wanted to ask my mother about the weird corpse, but every time I opened my mouth, I would be reprimanded by my mother, very stern.
But I don’t know if it’s fate. Before we set off this time, Luo Wen and a group of policemen entered the village, and the identity of the strange corpse that has been found out is a villager who died of illness a few years ago. According to seniority , I should call him Uncle Wang, and he is also Lao Wang's uncle.
The request made by Luo Wen and the others was to dig up the grave of Uncle Wang to confirm his identity. This was opposed by the elderly in the village. The objection was very strange. If they asked Luo Wen and the others to send the body back, the village would confirm it, even if it was not , will be buried well.
The people in the village didn't make sense at all. It was really unreasonable. Not only did Luo Wen fail to complete the task, but he was pestered by the villagers and asked to return the body that might be Uncle Wang.
If it was an ordinary car accident, of course there would be no problem, but such a weird scene at the scene of the car accident must be investigated by the police. Luo Wen could only explain patiently, but when night fell, his mouth was dry, and he was still surrounded by more than a dozen elderly people in their 70s and 80s.
Luo Wen asked me for help many times, but I pretended not to see it. If Uncle Wang is really one of the ancestors who protected this place, I also hope that his body can be sent back for burial.
Luo Wen had no choice but to express his opinion in the end that he would finish the case as soon as possible and send back Uncle Wang's body. Maybe it was too late, maybe such an answer was more satisfactory, and the old people gradually dispersed.
Luo Wen, whose clothes were wet with sweat, took a big sip of water and complained to me tiredly, saying that I didn't help.
I chuckled: "You will be surrounded at most, but if I help you, I will really be beaten, and it's useless to call the police."
My words are true, although many of the old people in the village I am not familiar with, but no matter who beats me, I can only endure it, maybe it is my relatives, such relatives.
Luo Wen waved his hand: "I have convinced your village. I will apply for transfer when I go back. Tell me, I know a little about the customs of your village. How much do you value a person who is buried in the woods and cannot enter the ancestral grave?"
Luo Wen's words surprised me. Uncle Wang didn't enter the ancestral grave. No, I remember that when Goddess Yan took me into the ancestral grave, she said that the ancestral grave protected our village's ancestors, but could it be that the burial ground is also the same.
I felt that the thoughts that had been sorted out a little bit were completely disrupted.
Luo Wen left quickly, and I talked about the matter with Wu Jian and Huang Xiaolong, both of them also found it strange, and Huang Xiaolong even suggested that we go to find this burial place together at night.
Wu Jian agreed quickly, for him to find Li Guihua's skull as soon as possible and send this grandma away is the most important thing, now he and Ni Min dare not even hold hands, they are completely widows.
I hesitated for a while, and nodded, but just as I nodded, a gloomy voice behind me said, "Young man, you can't go there."
I was startled, and turned around quickly, only to see an old man with age spots on his face standing behind me, looking at me sternly, with a cane in his hand as if he would call me if I said something wrong.
I quickly agreed, and promised again and again that I would never go, the old man nodded, turned and left.
I thought of Wu Jian and made a helpless look and said, "Look, we are probably under close surveillance now."
Wu Jian shook his head and smiled wryly: "By the way, who is that old man?"
I was taken aback, I have never seen that old man before, and there are not many people in the village, because the death of my third aunt has been seen almost before, although I can't call it out, but I can always get acquainted, but the old man just now, I have no impression at all.
I felt a chill in my back and turned to look at Huang Xiaolong.
