husband from hell

Chapter 35

Together with this sound, the last gleam of blood in the sunset disappeared from the sky, the sky became completely dull, and many stars rushed to appear, blinking their eyes coldly.

I turned around and saw Lulu standing at the door, looking straight at me with a pair of apricot eyes.

"Lulu..." I stared at her incredulously, her face was pale and haggard, but she was really Lulu!

Isn't Lulu dead?Could it be that what I saw was the ghost of Lulu's nostalgia here?
Cheng Ke stared at Lulu coldly, without saying anything.

Seeing my dumbfounded expression, Lulu's expression was also stunned: "Sister, you're here, why don't you call me?"

How could I even think of calling the dead at the funeral!

"Yeah, Lu Qiao is here too?" While speaking, the second uncle suddenly appeared from nowhere, wearing a somewhat outdated black suit, with a thin face and a sallow face, and spoke a little weakly: "How many years have we not seen each other?" Now, if it wasn't for Lulu, my second uncle wouldn't have recognized it! It's a long way from Yuning to here, so go in and rest, haven't you eaten?"

"Second Uncle?" My mind was completely confused: "What's going on? Lulu... all right?"

"It's okay." Lulu said: "Sister, don't you think I'm fine!"

I knew that after being with Cheng Ke, I had the kind of eyes that others didn't have, so I quickly cast my eyes on the bottom of Lulu's feet. There is indeed a shadow under Lulu's feet!
"But..." I opened my mouth with difficulty: "How did I hear that you have something to worry about..."

"Oh, sister, what are you talking about?" Lulu opened her mouth, and her white teeth seemed to be shining coldly in the dark night: "I drank the pesticide, but now I am alive."

"Yes." The second uncle touched Lulu's head tremblingly, and said, "Look, I even bought the coffin! But this girl is so lucky that she can move slowly while lying on the coffin. Yes, after a while, I will be able to drink water. At that time in the hospital, the doctor said that gastric lavage was useless, and I asked her to go home to prepare for the funeral. The paraquat she drank must not work. You see, Jinghu Lie Lie!"

I stared at Lulu, and felt that apart from her bad complexion, there was nothing unusual about her!
Lulu could also see that I didn't believe it, so she took my hand warmly and said, "Sister, I miss you."

I can feel that Lulu's hands are completely different from Cheng Ke's, they are warm and warm!

Tears burst out all at once, and I hugged Lulu: "It's good that you're fine, I scared my sister to death, it's so good... so good... it's just a false alarm... No wonder, I saw the second aunt just now, she It's not like losing my daughter at all, but I'm very happy, I can finally experience the feeling of regaining something lost! I'm so happy that I'm so happy!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as I said this, Lulu pushed me away all of a sudden, and a hint of horror appeared in her dull eyes just now: "Sister, tell me, did you see my mother?"

I was taken aback by Lulu's extreme reaction: "Yeah, as soon as I came back, I saw the second aunt. The second aunt seemed quite happy. At first, I wondered, because this kind of thing happened at home. , who knew that..."

"Then... where did you see her go?" The second uncle's face suddenly darkened: "Did she say anything to you?"

The second aunt looked like she was going crazy, she didn't seem to be able to say anything, I shook my head blankly: "The second aunt was still there just now, and now I don't know where she went, and she didn't say anything to me."

As soon as I said this, Lulu actually exchanged a terrified look with Second Uncle, and I could tell at a glance: "Second Uncle, Lulu, what's wrong with Second Aunt?"

"It's okay!" As if to cover up something, the second uncle quickly waved his hand and changed the topic: "You said, this is true, you have come all the way, haven't you eaten yet? Let's go, the second uncle will cook for you eat."

I nodded, and at this moment, a gust of wind blew up. The black ash of the yellow paper I just burned was wrapped in the wind, and it rolled towards me. Cheng Kezao was in front of me, Fearing that the dust would get my eyes off, I covered it up.

I felt as though I had inhaled something in my nose, and I sneezed vigorously, then opened my eyes, only to see the weird-looking people in the dark courtyard just now, and the old lady who stole the offerings, all gone. up.

They were there just now, and it seemed that there was a cloud here, but now they disappeared, which made people feel very awkward.

"Don't worry about that." Cheng Ke said in a low voice, "Go in."

I nodded quickly, and the second uncle and Lulu seemed to realize that Cheng Ke was brought by me, and their eyes stared at Cheng Ke with a little wariness.

When I saw it, I introduced it, and the second uncle became even more enthusiastic: "It's dark, there are many mosquitoes here, go in, go in!"

Cheng Ke also nodded politely, with a smile on his lips.

When I came to Shentan Town last time, my second uncle’s house was still a big tile-roofed house. This civil-built western-style building looked quite new, and it probably hadn’t been built for a few years. When I entered the main entrance, the living room was dark. After fumbling for the switch, the dim yellow chandelier lit up, and the geckos on the ceiling seemed to be frightened, and crawled away into the distance.

"Sit...sit..." The second uncle greeted us on the sofa.

I looked around, and the interior decoration of this building is quite fashionable, with background walls and suspended ceilings, but I can't tell what it is, and I always feel a little suffocated.

Lulu and my second uncle brought me and Cheng Ke fruits and melon seeds. The two of them exchanged glances. The second uncle went to the kitchen. I wanted to help. The second uncle refused to say anything, and asked Lulu to sit down and accompany us.

After chatting with Lulu a few times, I always feel that she is a little absent-minded, as if she has something to do.

After a while, the second uncle brought the food, which was a few side dishes unique to Tanshen Town, and served with a pot of steamed buns. The buns were stuffed with dried vegetables from Mayang, which was also unique to Tanshen Town: "Second Uncle still remembers, your favorite food when you were young Eat this, taste it quickly, after so many years, has the taste changed?"

I nodded hurriedly and said, "Second Uncle, I'll go find Second Aunt, let's eat together!"

When the second uncle heard me mention the second aunt, his expression changed immediately, but he immediately suppressed that expression: "You don't need to worry about it, let's eat yours first."

I saw that my second uncle obviously didn't want to talk about it, so I had no choice but to keep the question in my heart.

I picked up the buns before eating them. I habitually opened the buns, but I suddenly found that there were a lot of yellow paper dust mixed in the stuffing of the buns!
While the second uncle and Lulu both ate with gusto, Cheng Ke didn't even move his chopsticks, and even stared at me as if he was watching the fun, with a mischievous look in his eyes, as if he wanted to see what I was going to do.

I also know that it may be that the second uncle is careless, but there is too much paper dust, it seems that the paper dust is also a part of the stuffing, mixed in raw.

I couldn't help but said, "Second Uncle, there seems to be paper dust in the stuffing of Mayang cuisine."

"Huh?" The second uncle obviously didn't care about it: "The wind outside is dirty, you can see it too, maybe it blows in while washing the vegetables, it's okay, it's not clean, and you won't get sick if you eat it."

Lulu didn't say a word, just continued to eat.

I pursed my lips, remembering the strange wind outside, so I put down the steamed stuffed bun, accosted and said, "Since Lulu is fine, when will those funeral things outside be withdrawn? Me and Cheng Ke, Can help too."

The second uncle seemed to be slurping his food, and replied casually, "Why are you withdrawing?"

Lulu touched the second uncle secretly, and the second uncle reacted as if he had just reacted, and immediately said: "Ah, yes, I turned around and withdrew, and withdrew."

Looking at the dark coffin through the glass of the living room, I feel a little hairy.

And the corner of Cheng Ke's mouth always seemed to be smiling, as if he saw through something, but he just didn't tell it, and liked to see me kept in the dark.

I am very upset.

Moreover, because there are no neighbors in this place, it looks even more silent at night.It's like staying on an island.

I remembered the eyes behind the iron door of the wing room, and asked, "Second Uncle, is there anyone living in the wing room?"

"Wing room?" The second uncle said nonchalantly: "How can there be people living in the wing room. This building has three floors, how many rooms, who will live in the wing room."

I thought this was true, maybe it was someone who helped Lulu when something happened?Then he continued to ask: "Have all the relatives and friends come over? I haven't seen them for a long time, and they are upstairs too?"

"Ah, that's about it." The second uncle made me ask this question, a little dazed, as if thinking about it, and then said: "You can stay in the guest room on the first floor. There are also relatives from your second aunt's side coming over, making a fuss The ones are upstairs! It’s embarrassing if you don’t know each other. There’s no need to meet them face to face.”

I thought for a while and asked: "I haven't been here for so many years, and I don't remember where my grandma and uncle live. If it's inconvenient, my second uncle can tell me how to get to my grandma's house. I'll live there?" "

"How do people live in those broken houses in your grandma's house?" The second uncle said, "You just stay here, what time is it?"

The second uncle's attitude was quite tough, and as a junior, I couldn't refute it, so I agreed.

When it was late at night, Lulu took Cheng Ke and me, pointed to two guest rooms, and told me the location of the bathroom on the first floor. I thanked Cheng Ke, although Cheng Ke was very polite, but He looked at Lulu's eyes, and there was obviously something wrong.

Lulu left, and I glared at Cheng Ke: "Why are you staring at Lulu like that? Want to eat people?"

"I don't eat people, but I see you jealous." Cheng Ke smiled slightly: "I'm jealous, even your cousin will not let it go."

"You're just kissing in front of the mirror—narcissism!" I pursed my lips: "There's something wrong here, don't think I'm stupid."

"Oh?" Cheng Ke looked at me amusedly: "Then tell me, what's wrong?"

I puffed up my cheeks: "Everything is wrong. Since people are fine, why do you put an empty coffin? The soul-calling flags and white flowers are just hanging at the door. According to the meaning of the second uncle, many relatives at home have come , Then why didn't anyone think of quickly taking down those unnecessary ones and burning them, to get rid of bad luck?"

"Didn't you say it?" Cheng Ke said leisurely: "Existence is reasonable."

"It's like talking about the old lady eating offerings, is it reasonable?" I said: "There is no funeral in the Yangzhai but a coffin is placed, according to what you said before, is it the incense that has no owner, which has attracted lonely souls and wild ghosts?" ?”

"So you're not stupid, you're quite smart." Cheng Ke turned his head and looked at the dark glass, and said, "This matter, it seems, is quite interesting."

If it was really a funeral, and Cheng Ke said that, I would have to fight him, but seeing that the funeral was about to be cancelled, I couldn't say anything, so I turned around and went to the bathroom angrily: "I'm taking a shower, you are not allowed to follow me .”

"Yeah." Unexpectedly, Cheng Ke, who has always been extremely shameless, actually agreed, with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, always staring at the yard outside the glass, as if there were things in the yard that could arouse his interest more, There was an evil smile looming on his face.

I don't know what new ideas he, who has never been unpredictable, has any new ideas, so I went to the bathroom first.

Everything that should be in the bathroom is readily available, no different from the residential areas in the city, except that there is no bathtub, only a shower head.

I was afraid that the shower head would wet the toilet seat on the toilet, so I closed the lid of the toilet first, turned on the water and started flushing. Unexpectedly, only halfway through the flush, suddenly the iron water pipe of the shower head suddenly rang, And it has a sense of rhythm, two long and one short, as if someone is beating!
I was taken aback and realized that the heating and plumbing equipment in the small building may be connected together. Maybe some of the relatives upstairs brought a bear child and was just playing with the water pipe, so I didn't take it to heart. Looking up, his eyes fell on his ten black toenails, and he couldn't help sighing.

Comfort myself, just listen to Cheng Ke's words and do what he says, why think so much, I can't save myself anyway.

Cheng Ke, there is nothing he cannot do.

No, all these troubles were brought by him. If it weren't for him, I might still be a normal person who works [-] to [-] and spends weekends on weekends.

So... I came to a conclusion with a guilty conscience, this is what he should do... However, if he ignores me, I have no other choice.

After thinking about it, the sound of "dong dong dong" knocking on the pipe became more intense, and I knocked back a few times, also following the rhythm of two games and one short, but I didn't expect that when I knocked, the water pipe would not make any sound up.

Probably the bear's parents heard it and felt that it was disturbing the people, so they should stop him.I was complacent about my power, and I wiped the shower gel, and the fragrance wafted away, making me feel refreshed, but at this moment, the toilet suddenly started to snort.

I frowned, the water pipe is broken?
I casually lifted the lid of the toilet, but my eyes widened. I have never used the toilet before. Why is there a lot of yellow paper dust floating out of it?
Lulu is not dead, so besides the stack I burned in the afternoon for unknown reasons, shouldn't someone else burn it?This is also to blame, there is also in the steamed stuffed bun, why is it also upside down in the toilet?
I was full of suspicion, at this moment, there was a knock on the bathroom door, it was two long and one short!
I was taken aback immediately, why, I knocked back a few times, and they came to me?

So I quickly replied: "Who is it? I haven't finished my shower yet!"

"Me." A strange voice sounded.

I thought about it carefully, is it the second aunt?The second aunt really made Lulu's troubles a little strange, why is she still knocking on the door and the pipe like a child with this rhythm.

He hurriedly replied: "Second aunt? Are you here? Wait for me, I'll come out right away!"

"No," the voice made people feel very uncomfortable, flat, without any ups and downs: "I came here specially to tell you, don't go out, hehehe..."

"What?" I was stunned for a moment: "Second aunt, what do you mean by that?"

"Tonight, there is a good thing." The voice was obviously a little excited: "But, it can't be smashed, and it's over."

"Why can't a good thing be broken?" I frowned, and I didn't care about taking a shower, so I quickly wiped off all the water droplets on my body, and asked while putting on clothes, "Second Aunt, what's the matter?" What a good thing?"

"Hey hey..." The second aunt's vocal cords seemed to be torn by someone, and her smile was a little hoarse, and Zila Zila was like a broadcast that was about to lose signal: "They asked me to tell you, you must Don't come out, don't come out."

Then, there was no sound.

I'm getting more and more confused, are they?Who are they?

So I went to open the door, but there was no one outside.

The long corridor looked gloomy under the dim energy-saving lights. The cool evening wind blew on my body, which was still hot after taking a shower, and I couldn't help shivering.

"Papa papa..." There was a rush of footsteps above the head, maybe the relatives upstairs were walking!I was baffled and felt a little scared, so I thought, why not go back to the room to find Cheng Ke, but when I turned around again, I found that I was really confused. There are several rooms, which one is mine?

"Dangdangdangdang..." Suddenly, there was a unique sound in the countryside, the sound of gongs and drums for weddings and weddings, and it was very strange in the middle of the night.

This piece is slightly familiar, but I can't remember it. The sound of the sheng and the gong sounded together, and the sound of silk and bamboo bursts.
I took a look outside through the glass, and immediately frowned. In the yard, there were really a few people around that big coffin, playing hard!

It's so weird.

I turned my head and looked at a wall clock hanging in the corridor. It clearly showed that it was 11 o'clock. According to the habit of Tanshen Town, people usually don't go out at nine o'clock.

"Click..." At this moment, the lid of the big coffin suddenly opened slowly!
