Xiao Li didn't speak, but looked at the surroundings in the courtyard. I found that except for the dog, even the chickens yesterday were gone. At this moment, I suddenly noticed the water tank Xiaoli used to feed the chickens yesterday with rice. I hurried over and opened the wooden board cover. When I looked inside, I almost shouted to Xiaoli at the same time: " Xiaoli, something is not right, come and take a look."
After hearing my panicked voice, Xiao Li hurried over. When she looked at the big tank, her face changed obviously, because there was no rice in the big tank, it was a clean one. Ordinary big tank.
"How could this happen? Grandpa wouldn't transfer everything in this yard overnight, would it? Is this related to my restoration of the body of the six suns?" Since the house is usually occupied by grandpa, I don't have the key to the security door. I can't go inside to check, so I just said it according to my own speculation.
After hearing what I said, Xiao Li said to me: "Let's go to the village to find out where your grandpa is."
That's right. Grandpa is also an old face in the village, so Xiaoli and I immediately ran out of the village.
Perhaps it was because the funeral team had just left, and there was still a lot of taboo about dead people in the countryside, so many of the doors were closed. I was too embarrassed to knock on the door one by one to ask, so I took Xiaoli and continued to walk forward.
Before I knew it, I went to Aunt Lin's house again. I didn't mean it, but because Aunt Lin's house was on the side of the road, it was the only way out of the village, so I wanted to try to ask again.
Today Aunt Lin didn't wash clothes outside, but the door of their house was open. So I walked and shouted to Aunt Lin's house: "Aunt Lin? Are you at home?"
Although Aunt Lin's house is not very big, it is not too small. After I called for a while, there was a slow footstep. However, it was not Aunt Lin who came out, but a middle-aged man who looked like he was in his fifties with some gray hair on his head. I also knew this person. He was Aunt Lin's husband, Uncle Zhao. Uncle Zhao is not from our village, but came to Aunt Lin's house from another place.
His face was a little haggard. After seeing me, he barely squeezed out a smile to say hello to me: "It turned out to be Xiao Qin, why did you come back so early this year?"
Looking at Brother Zhao’s face, I knew that he must have something in his heart and he was not very happy, so I didn’t make a routine, so I just said straightforwardly: "Uncle Zhao, hello, I'm here to see Aunt Lin, may I ask if she is at home? ?"
Generally, if someone came to say this, they would either ask me what to look for Aunt Lin, or they would ask Aunt Lin to come out. But after this Uncle Zhao listened to my words, he was stunned for a moment and looked at me with a strange look.
But soon he changed into a smile, and said to me: "Unexpectedly, you still care about your Aunt Lin, and she doesn't care for you in vain. Come with me."
I listened to Brother Zhao, although I felt a little strange, I still took Xiao Li's hand and followed.
Uncle Zhao took me to their living room, but when I looked up at their living room, my brain felt like being struck by lightning, and I felt dizzy dizzy.
"Silly Wood, what's the matter with you." If Xiao Li didn't support me, I guess I might fall down.
Because I was in the middle of their hall and I saw a photo of Aunt Lin. In the photo, Aunt Lin had a smile on her face. She was still the kind and amiable senior in my heart, but this photo was black and white. Surrounded by a brown-red border,
It is a posthumous photograph. In the front of the photo, there is also a spiritual seat on which it is written in golden paint:
The spiritual position of the deceased wife Li Lianjuan.
My heart broke down, and my brain seemed to be short-circuited. I tremblingly asked Uncle Zhao: "Aunt Lin... Aunt Lin is gone?"
"Yeah." Uncle Zhao's eyes were a little rosy, and after nodding painfully at me, he turned around. I saw his arms were waving, so he was wiping his tears with his sleeves.
My body became like a stone pillar, standing in place dumbly, completely speechless. After Zhao Shu calmed down his emotions for a while, he turned around and said to me: "Two months ago, Aunt Lin was found to have advanced gastric cancer and died not long after returning."
"This... how is it possible..." In fact, I wanted to tell Uncle Zhao immediately, I only met Aunt Lin yesterday. However, Xiao Li on the side seemed to see through my mind. He hurriedly grabbed me, and then desperately colored me, beckoning me not to say anything and leave immediately.
If I thought about it calmly, I also thought of the seriousness of the matter, so I mourned for a few sticks of incense in front of Aunt Lin's spiritual position, and then left Uncle Zhao.
After walking some distance, I said to Xiao Li, "Xiao Li, do you know? Yesterday, when I came out to find Grandpa, I was at Aunt Lin's house and met Aunt Lin."
After hearing this paradox, Xiao Li just said to me indifferently: "Don't worry about Aunt Lin, let's go to your village committee and ask about your grandfather's situation. I suspect that things are far more than we thought. It’s even more terrible, and even more serious."
"Okay." Although the village committee is not far from our home, it is still a bit away, so I go home first, and then drive there.
When I was in the car, I asked Xiao Li, "Xiao Li, I suddenly remembered the situation when I first met the uncle."
"What's the situation?" Xiao Li was also lowering his head and pondering over some questions. After hearing what I said, he also asked immediately.
"Illusion and puppetry." I clearly remember that when I met the uncle, I saw the power of these two spells. Today, the situation I am facing now is not exactly the same as the one at that time, but it is a bit similar.
Xiaoli naturally understands these two spells, so she continued to ask: "Tell your thoughts out and listen."
"If Aunt Lin is really dead, then I either encountered puppetry or hallucination yesterday. The same thing is the situation at my home. When we went yesterday, except for chickens in the yard. In addition to dogs, there is a large tank of slowly filled rice, but today, not only are there no chickens and dogs, even the large tank has no particles.
At first, I thought it was my grandfather who transferred it, but if I try to figure it out, there are actually many loopholes. Even if chickens and dogs can be transferred, their residual smell is impossible to disappear overnight.
And such a big tank of rice, even if it is clean, but no matter what, the aroma of rice should always be left there, but today there is nothing. Everything is clean as if we had hallucinations yesterday.
One more point, and the most important point, although the doors, windows, and eaves of our house look similar to yesterday’s, the dust accumulated by long-time unoccupiedness cannot be covered up. I just noticed that our house’s A thick layer of dust fell on doors and windows, as well as in various places, which did not seem to be traces of inhabitants at all. "
Xiao Li didn't speak, but turned to face me and asked, "Then what are you doubting now?"
I took a look at the road conditions and after I was sure it was safe, I looked at Xiao Li and said deeply: "I suspect that my grandfather I saw yesterday is a fake." (End of this chapter)
