Chapter 2 Death
"Wake up, Leilei."
My mother's call woke me up. I screamed and sat up, grabbed my mother's hand and cried: "There is a ghost, mother, there is a ghost..."
My mother hugged me, patted my back, and comforted me, "Silly girl, where is the ghost? It's just a dream, it's fine now."
I looked warily at where I was. Sure enough, I was on my bed. Then I looked at my clothes. Two buttons of the pink cartoon pajamas were unbuttoned, and the rest stayed securely in place.
Did I just have a dream?I'm confused!
"Breakfast is on the table. There are a lot of things in the factory. You can take care of lunch and dinner by yourself, okay?" Mom asked me worriedly.
Mom is the new person in charge of the tea factory, and there are many things waiting for her. How can I be a caretaker when I am such a big person?Although I was scared, I still sent my mother away with a smile.
After breakfast, cousin Qiaochu from my uncle’s family said that she would take me out for a stroll. Daiming Village, 16 years later, is no longer familiar to me, so it’s time to revisit it.
Cousin Qiaochu doesn't like to laugh, and has always looked depressed and unhappy at a young age. However, almost all of the dozen or so members of my maternal family are like this, so I don't find it strange.
This is a nursing home...this is a service hall...this is an ancient temple...
Cousin Qiaochu carefully introduced me to the unique features of this village. When we walked to the end of the village, many villagers crowded in front of "Baicai Ming"'s house with regretful expressions on their faces.
I learned from the folks that Baicai Ming died last night, and the death was extremely strange and tragic.
Baicai Ming knows him. He is a 30-year-old bachelor who lives with his family and works as a vegetable vendor in the village vegetable market. He is a simple-minded man with well-developed limbs, good health and no disease.
Because Baicai Ming's death was strange, his family called the police to deal with it. Soon the police car and funeral car stopped in front of Baicai Ming's house.
These days, because of that ghostly dream, I have reached a state where the wind is everywhere and the grass and the forest are full of soldiers. I don't dare to look at human corpses at all.
When the staff came out of the house carrying the body covered with white cloth, I was so frightened that I took cousin Qiaochu's hand and started to leave. However, cousin Qiaochu insisted on looking at her despite her delicate nature.
In desperation, I had no choice but to wait.
They walked towards me slowly, and I realized that I was standing next to the funeral car. I couldn't help feeling terrified, but my eyes couldn't help but glance at the white cloth.
Suddenly, one of the dead body's hands moved. I was so frightened that I jumped up. I blinked hard and took a closer look. It turned out that it was just the dead body's hand hanging down from the stretcher.
A strange gust of wind blew away the white cloth on Baicaiming's face, and that terrifying and ferocious fat face suddenly appeared in my sight. Some girls who saw it screamed in fright, and I quickly turned my head and looked away. .
I saw it clearly. No wonder the villagers said that his death was strange and tragic. His bloody eyes were wide open and all white, and his mouth was crookedly open. He looked like he was greatly frightened. Make the face distorted and hideous.
I was anxiously looking for my cousin Qiaochu in the crowd, wanting to leave here quickly, and overheard Baicai Ming's family telling the police sadly about the situation before Baicai Ming's death.
They said that something was wrong with Baicai Ming in the three days before his death. During those three days, he didn't sleep, didn't drink any water, and didn't even eat his favorite game on weekdays. He was distracted and nervous all day long.
Then he looked more and more haggard day by day, as if he had taken drugs. However, the forensic autopsy later found no trace of drugs.
He didn't have any trauma on his body, and his body was very healthy, except for the symptoms of the three days before his death.
Therefore, the police speculated that Baicai Ming was suffering from mental trauma caused by being single for a long time, so he went on a hunger strike and committed suicide.
But no one who knew him believed that Baicai Ming, who was usually afraid of death and greedy, could choose to commit suicide on a hunger strike.As a result, coupled with the innumerable wild game he ate all his life, and the strangeness of his death, a rumor spread among the villagers. They said that the cabbage ate too many creatures and offended the spirits, so it happened. Got retribution.
On the way home, I bought an old popsicle to calm my nerves, and asked my cousin, "Qiaochu, do you think the police are right, or do you think the villagers' statement is credible?"
Cousin Qiaochu said expressionlessly: "A bunch of ignorant country bumpkins, what they say is totally wrong."
I didn't expect that the charming cousin Qiaochu would speak so shockingly, I was very surprised!
"Not at all? Could it be that he was murdered?" I felt that I had gotten to the point and became nervous, "Who can kill people invisibly under the noses of the other three members of their family?"
Cousin Qiaochu suddenly stopped, and finally showed a fearful expression. She looked around with flickering eyes, and then said mysteriously in my ear: "He did it, and he is taking revenge."
My heart skipped a beat and I was so frightened that I skipped a beat. I felt my scalp was numb and my hair was standing on end. I couldn't help but ask: "Who is he?"
Cousin Qiaochu shushed and said in a volume so small that only the two of us could hear: "This is quite close to the tea garden, be careful not to be heard by him."
When I heard this, I broke into a cold sweat and said angrily to my cousin: "Qiaochu, please stop talking nonsense and scare me. I won't go shopping with you anymore." I got angry and left by myself.
"I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, ask your aunt, but I don't think she will tell you." My cousin said firmly behind me.
I walked towards my home gloomily, and happened to meet my second uncle who was rushing to work in the tea garden. My second uncle saw that my expression was a little strange. I wonder if I was too sensitive, and it felt like he was running away from me.
I had a pretty good impression of my second uncle before. I remember that on the day I first returned home, my hand was accidentally pricked by a small wooden thorn on the Taishi's chair, and I bled some. My second uncle wiped the blood, applied medicine, and bandaged me. , and also said that the tissue paper used to wipe blood should not be thrown away, as it is unlucky, and I don’t know what he did with it afterwards.
In short, he was more nervous about me than my own mother, which made my little heart warm.
My second uncle was kind to me, of course I can't forget, I greeted him obediently and politely.
The second uncle looked at me and hesitated to speak, and finally said with some lack of confidence: "Leilei, if the Zhang family is in trouble and needs your help, you, you won't just sit back and ignore it, right?"
I am a warm-hearted person and will not turn away people who need help, let alone my own relatives.I said firmly and sincerely: "As long as it is within my ability, I will accept it."
When the second uncle heard this, he suddenly understood: "The second uncle knows that Leilei is a good child. If you say so, the second uncle will feel relieved."
With just one word, the second uncle's mood turned from gloomy to bright, and everyone looked happy when he left.
In the evening, when my mother came back from get off work, I asked her when we would return to Fuzhou.
The more I thought about it, the more something was wrong. I wanted to leave, but there was no reason.
Mom said: "This will be our home from now on. Mom knows that you are not used to it, so you always have nightmares, but you have grown up and you have to learn to adapt to the various changes in life. Also, Baicai Ming's death was just an accident. You Don’t think too much, and don’t mention leaving again in the future.”
My mother was so persistent that my thoughts could not influence her at all. I had no choice but to stay with her. Later, I regretted that I should have left desperately.
