Corpse Retriever

When Li Sanjiang returned home carrying Li Chaoyuan's back, the fish belly was just white.

Cui Guiying took the child, and Li Sanjiang left with Li Weihan for a while.

Li Zhanyuan was placed on the bed, and his eyes closed for a while and then opened.

He couldn't sleep, as soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the little yellow warbler dancing in the fish pond.

Cui Guiying and Li Weihan never entered the house to rest, but sat in the kitchen.

The woman couldn't help rubbing her fingers, rubbing red; the man kept smoking the water cigarettes, one pot after one pot.

Looking at the sky that was already on, Cui Guiying got up and said, "Let me make breakfast for the children first."

Li Weihan spit out a cigarette and said, "Smoke is a bit early."

Cui Guiying had to sit down and watch his man: "When will you wait?"

"Waiting for notifying."

"Who will notify it?"

Li Weihan did not answer, but continued to hold the cigarette holder.

After sitting again for a while, knocking on the door came:

"Gui Yinghou, Gui Yinghou."

It is the neighbor next door, Zhao Simei.

Li Weihan scratched the water cigarette bag and said, "The notification is here."

Cui Guiying got up, rubbing his eyes with yawning and yawning, puzzled: "What is the case, the four beautiful Hou?"

Zhao Simei reached out and grabbed Cui Guiying's arm, and shook it hard:

"The bearded family is dead!"

"What?"

"Dead two, beard and his younger son, just seen in the fish pond in the drift family, the big guys went to see, let's go, let's go and see together!"

"Walk!"

Cui Guiying shouted to Lidu before going out: "Yinghou, Mi Tao is fine, you will have breakfast later."

"I know, milk."

After receiving the response, Cui Guiying went out with Zhao Simei.

Li Weihan waited for a while, touched the cigarettes opened in his pocket, put the cigarette bag on the table, and went out.

Zhao Simei's previous knocking sound had actually awakened the children, knowing that something happened, and the children got up and ran out to see the excitement.

Ren Yingzi couldn't call back in the back shouting "brushing his teeth and wash your face".

At this time, the fish ponds of the bearded family were surrounded by people, and the villagers on the village road continued to come here.

Two corpses were drifted on the fish pond, no one handled it, even a boat was parked even by the pond.

Although the bearded family is very famous in the village, the villagers are not so indifferent;

The reason why I didn't help each other ashore was because the two corpses were like biscuits that have been soaked in the bowl for a long time. Skin.

Many people know that the drowning corpse will swell after a long time, but how could the two people who lived during the day yesterday could be the same as the fungus in the night?

This is too evil, causing no one to dare to touch the corpse in the end.

The bearded wife was sitting beside the pond and crying, but she only knew crying, but she didn't understand what to do. Someone around him came to persuade, and she ignored it, but just watched her life.

Finally, the boss of the Beard's family rushed back from the town, but he had a master.

It was just that the eldest son looked at the daddy and younger brother on the surface of the pond now like this, scaring his face, and he did not dare to go down to fish, so he had to ask someone to ask Li Sanjiang.

Li Sanjiang pushed a car, and his guy was contained in the car.

After arriving at the ground, Li Sanjiang first picked up the situation on the surface of Xiantang, and then scared and waved his hand back:

"I dare not fish for this mother.

He was bluffing, and the villagers surrounding the surrounding were uproar, and they began to make a lot of evils.

Soon, some villagers proposed yesterday's little yellow warbler. After all, the people's white team was almost fighting at the bearded house. It was difficult for the village to hide any secrets.

Li Weihan also opened at the moment, telling the people around him about the experience of bringing the grandson to support the river yesterday, saying that his grandson had fallen into the water, making a nightmare and seeing a woman walking in the water. Zheng Daqiao was useless to look at it. Fortunately, Liu Blom came to deal with it.

Immediately, many people deliberately came over to listen to Li Weihan's narrative, and kept expressing their own opinions.

Cui Guiying stood by Li Weihan's expression very nervous. It was flat. If she did not need to cook and washing, she could talk to those mother -in -law in the village to talk about right and wrong for three days and three nights. But now, she dare not speak. Essence

In this heart, he was panicked, like the thief shouted to catch the thief, and the cat came to cry.

Panzi, Lei Zi, Huzi, and Stone also started to talk about it, saying that she saw a female water ghost yesterday, and almost pulled her Xiao Yuanhou as a dead ghost, that was to find revenge!

For a while, there seemed to be a large open -air tea party around the surroundings. When the little yellow warbler was talked about and talked about it, the villagers who did not feel addicted to the beard of the beard had the past and the pastoral rotten valley. The child rolled out and continued to stir fry.

Not long after, the second son of the bearded family took his wife and two daughters with his son -in -law and rushed home. The two daughters held their mother and started crying together. Essence

Li Sanjiang took a handful of Joe, with an excuse that he had so evilly that Shuangdai and the corpse were so evil, and directly asked for ten times the price of a person's ashore on weekdays.

Talking about the money, Li Sanjiang set up a table for the table, and the supply of wax burning paper was served. In addition, the "Huyou guidance" of the half -hour head was given a word, which attracted the attention of the audience.

Although the performance is indeed as bright as the white team, everyone knows that the white things are rack goods, this is the real professional.

During this period, the two Santana turned over and had a police lamp hanging on the top.

On weekdays, they drowned, and they drowned, not a big deal; but this time, the drowning was still to the father and son, and at the doorstep of the house. The nature of the matter was different.

The police came over to see the situation, and they couldn't help but stun for a while. They hadn't seen the bodies that had been soaked, but they had never seen so delicate.

Seeing this, they had to wait for the corpse to come up and talk about it. They did not interrupt Li Sanjiang's ceremony, but they did not go there, but returned to the roadside car to smoke smoke and slowly.

Finally, Li Sanjiang was busy, slaughtered only a cock, and sprinkled a bowl of he didn't know if it was really black dog blood.

First use the "lead" to hook the body to the edge of the boat, and then use the "return soul basket" to fix the corpse to the boat, and then cover the body with "home net", support the boat to the pond, bend over, bend over, bend over, , Lower your head, send the body to your back with a specific method, and then ashore.

This is a very important rule in the corpse fishing person. You have to go ashore to put the corpse for the corpse's own feet, because this is "sending" and "back" home.

In the end, you must be shouted under the owner before you can put down the body.

After painting the scoop of the gourd twice, the father and son of the beard finally ended the drift and were placed on two straw mats.

Everything was done, Li Sanjiang looked at the center of the fish pond with some hearts. He used to fish the body regularly, and he did not dare to explore in depth.

God knows whether she is still here.

The police came over to separate the corpse, but the villagers didn't care, and the probe still looked at it. During the period, the children were screaming.

Li Sanjiang made money, and after packing his good guys, he pushed back the car with a cigarette in his mouth. The villagers around him avoided the way. Everyone had just finished the corpse, and everyone could not avoid it.

The police began to investigate. The temporary office location was at the bearded house.

The bearded wife couldn't say anything. So, she just woke up a wife who hadn't seen her beside her, or when outsiders passed by their fish pond, they found that the grandfather shouted on the water.

The deputy director who led the team asked who had resentment with the beard family in the village of the village.

"Yo, that's a bit."

Next, the long line was lined up as a record.

Li Weihan, Pan Zi, and Lei Zi, who included the story of "Little Yellow Ying", were also called to ask questions.

At first, the police thought it was a corpse, and she also sent police officers to follow Li Weihan to go to the river section to search for the results. In addition, Li Weihan's telling was too bizarre, and she could only be regarded as a rural old man to the grandson. Blowing superstition story.

I do n’t know how to do this record. Li Weihan saw that the big guy did n’t believe it and was anxious. He kept reiterating that he was true. He wrapped the police and the people around him to believe him. of.

The white team that had been in trouble yesterday was also summoned to investigate. However, the day before the incident went to work next door, the whole team had no proof of present.

As for the disappearance of the little yellow warbler and the entanglement inside, one is because the person or the corpse failed to find, and the other was that the man of the relevant responsible person, the man, was dead, and he could only report a missing.

In the end, the father and son drowning had dealt with the results of the unexpected investigation. Probably the meaning was that Grandpa, the beard, drank the wine at night, and went to the fish pond to play crazy, and then drowned.

The bearded family did not make trouble to continue the investigation, because after the funeral, the two sons and daughters quarreled with each other, tearing the face was ugly, and added a talk to the village.

On the same day, it was dusk after finishing the transcript. Li Weihan and Cui Guiying took the children home. The children walked in front, and the old couples walked behind.

Cui Guiying was afraid of asking his chest and asked: "Why do you take the initiative to go up and say, and was shouted by the police to ask me, but scared me."

Li Weihan threw the empty cigarette case in his pocket to the side of the road, pursed his lips, and said:

"It was my uncle taught. I have to say it. I can't hold it. In the matter of Xiao Yuanhou, Zheng Dagao and Liu Jinxia also know."

Cui Guiying complained: "Knowing them a sound, just keep a secret."

Li Weihan shook his head: "Even if the adults can know the confidentiality, can the children keep secrets without talking?"

"this……"

Li Weihan Changshu breathed a sigh of relief,

Said:

"Uncle said, the best way to keep secret is to tell the secrets in public."

Nympho

Almost all people in the village went to the bearded fish pond to see the lively. Li Zhanyuan didn't go. He couldn't sleep in bed, so he moved a small bench and sat on the outside of the house, looking at the farmland in the distance.

After a while, Yingzi, the sister who washed the bowl, also came out. She first moved out a square stool with stationery and book homework on it. A bright sun.

Yingzi's parents never paid much attention to her studies, but they never said things like "It's useless for girls to go to school", "It's better to get married early", "Find connections to get into a textile factory to make money".

Tuition should be paid before the semester, and there is no need to be shy or feel guilty about the materials fees. Just ask for them normally.

But everything is afraid of comparison. Compared with other girls' families in the village, Yingzi's parents, who are purely laissez-faire and don't care about their daughters, have become a model of attaching importance to their daughter's education.

Yingzi knows that this is influenced by her aunt Li Lan.

At the beginning, her aunt relied on studying to change her fate in one fell swoop and became the pride of her grandparents. Even her father and uncles, every time they mentioned her aunt to outsiders, they would unconsciously straighten their chests and feel proud of her.

However, Yingzi's academic performance can only be considered average, even though she really worked hard and did not slack off;

Of course, her grandparents would not deliberately sacrifice their son to support their daughter. It was really that her father and uncles were really unable to read books.

This made her wonder, did the brains of the old Li family all go to the younger sister?

At first, this thought was just there, not strong, until the day after Xiao Yuanhou was sent here, he sat next to her, a little reserved, and when she was facing a math problem for a long time without a clue, she heard a whisper in her ear:

"Root 3."

Later, Yingzi asked Li Zhuiyuan to do the questions she didn't know, and Yingzi also found that Xiao Yuanhou almost didn't need to think, he could tell the answer by just scanning the question.

Maybe the biggest trouble for him came from writing the solution process, otherwise his stupid sister couldn't understand it!

You know, she was already in the first year of high school.

Yingzi asked him what school he went to in Beijing, and Li Zhuiyuan answered: Junior class.

Yingzi subconsciously understood "Junior class" as elementary school,

and felt in her heart: As expected of elementary school students in the capital, the curriculum is so advanced.

Li Zhuiyuan was in a daze, occasionally coming back to help his sister write a question, and then continued to be in a daze.

Feeling the pen cap poking him lightly, Li Zhuiyuan turned his head to look at the question, but saw his sister pointing to the west side of the dam, where there was a step, and a little girl in a floral dress stood at the bottom of the step.

It was Cuicui, Liu Jinxia's granddaughter, who stood there timidly, not daring to come up.

Yingzi frowned at Li Zhuiyuan, signaling not to pay attention to her.

In the past, she would have spoken directly, after all, the children in the village had a consensus not to play with her; but yesterday, Liu Jinxia and her daughter came to her house to "see a doctor" for her brother, and she was embarrassed to say it now.

Li Zhuiyuan stood up, took the initiative to walk to the edge of the dam, came to Cuicui, and asked with a smile:

"You are here, what's the matter?"

Cuicui looked in other directions, pinched the edge of her skirt with her fingers, and said, "I came to play with you."

"Okay." Li Zhuiyuan turned around and waved to sister Yingzi, "Sister, Cuicui and I will go play."

Yingzi didn't say anything, sighed, lowered her head and continued to do her homework.

Actually, there is nothing fun in playing. Many times, I just don’t want to stay at home, so I run to my friends’ house, call them out, and then we wander aimlessly together.

Cuicui looked at Li Zhuiyuan who walked out with her, with a smile in her eyes. This was the first time she learned to go to other people’s homes and call people like other children in the village.

However, she still didn’t dare to walk to other people’s houses without permission. Children of this age may not understand many things, but they are more sensitive. She didn’t want to face the rolling eyes of those adults.

“Brother Yuanhou, my mother said, you were sick yesterday?”

“Yeah.” Li Zhuiyuan was reminded by this, and the little yellow warbler appeared in his mind again, and his smile gradually faded.

"Ah?" Cuicui apologized immediately, "I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore, it's really hard to be sick."

Li Zhuiyuan touched his pocket and apologized, "Well, I forgot to bring you snacks."

In fact, it's not that I forgot, but my grandparents were not at home, and the cabinet where the snacks were kept was locked and couldn't be opened; Sister Yingzi seemed to know where the key was hidden, but Li Zhuiyuan knew that if he went to ask her for help, she would say bad things about Cuicui in the house.

"Snacks? I have a lot at home, let's go to my house to eat."

"Go to your house?"

"Yes, go to my house to play."

"Okay."

After being promised, Cuicui plucked up the courage, took the initiative to hold Li Zhuiyuan's hand, and the two walked together on the ridge road.

At this moment, she really hoped that the adults on the roadside houses could see her and ask her, "Hey, little Cuihou, who are you playing with?"

She also hoped to meet people of the same age on the road so that they could see that she also had playmates.

It's a pity that most people in the village went to the fish pond of the big bearded man to see the pig skin jelly.

However, she was still very happy, and her mouth never shrugged. If she hadn't held hands, she felt that she would be so happy that she would spin around.

"Brother Yuanhou, do you not understand what we say very well?"

"At first I couldn't understand it at all, then I could understand it when I spoke slower and shorter. Now I not only understand it all, but I can also speak some of it myself, but I don't speak it standardly."

When he was first sent to this family, he really couldn't understand what the elders said to him. Only his brothers and sisters who had been to school could communicate with him in Mandarin.

I remember that every time I called Li Weihan and Cui Guiying "grandpa and grandma", they would be obviously a little unhappy, and then repeatedly corrected themselves to call "grandpa and grandma".

There is indeed no local term for "grandparents". In many cases, the difference between grandma and grandmother is based on location. For example, those who live in the south are called "Southern Grandma" and those who live in the north are called "Northern Grandma".

"By the way, Brother Yuanhou, have you been to the Forbidden City?"

"Yes, I have."

"I want to go there in the future."

"Okay, call me and I'll take you there."

"Really? Don't lie to me?"

"No, I'm very familiar with the Forbidden City."

In Li Zhuiyuan's memory, there was a period of time when Li Lan worked in the Forbidden City, and he was left to play in the Forbidden City by himself. Sometimes he would sit on the steps of the side door, holding a ginger cat in his arms, watching the tourists coming in from the main door, and he would watch for an entire afternoon.

"By the way, Brother Yuanhou, have you ever drunk soybean juice?"

"Hmm..."

"Have you drunk it?" Cuicui blinked her big eyes and looked over curiously.

"Yes."

"Is it delicious? What does soybean juice taste like?"

What tastes like?

Li Zhuiyuan's mind flashed with the scene of Cui Guiying washing the pickled cabbage jar at home last week.

"Some people like to drink it, some don't."

"Really? Then I must try it when I go to BJ next time."

"Yeah."

"Brother Yuanhou, look, that's my home."

Following the direction of Cuicui's finger, Li Zhuiyuan saw a two-story building behind a piece of farmland.

"You live in a building."

There are houses of all styles in the village. Most of them are brick and tile bungalows. A small number of families with very poor conditions still have earthen houses. Similarly, a small number of families with good conditions have taken the lead in building two-story buildings.

Walking up to Cuicui's house, in the living room on the first floor, Liu Jinxia was playing bridge with a cigarette in her mouth.

Her card friends are two old ladies and an old man. If they come to play cards with Liu Jinxia, ​​they can eat at her house. The food is not bad, with meat and wine, so Liu Jinxia is not short of card friends, and she is also willing to spend some money to "buy" people to accompany her for entertainment.

The card table is indeed a magical place. Liu Jinxia obviously has cataracts and poor eyesight, but it does not affect her speed of playing cards at all.

"Grandma, I'll bring Brother Yuanhou to play at home."

"Grandma Liu." Li Zhuiyuan shouted.

"Well, let's play." Liu Jinxia responded and put her attention on the cards in her hand, "Pong!"

Just now, the people playing cards were still talking about what was happening at the big bearded man's house. Liu Jinxia responded casually while blowing smoke rings. When she heard her granddaughter bringing Li Zhuiyuan in, she couldn't help but be slightly startled, and her eyes narrowed through the smoke.

This kid was possessed by a ghost yesterday, and the big bearded man and his father were floating in the fish pond this morning.

If there is no putty here, Liu Jinxia would not believe it even if she was beaten to death.

But she didn't say anything to stop her granddaughter from playing with Li Zhuiyuan. What a joke, they are all unlucky stars, what are they talking about who dislikes who.

Cuicui led Li Zhuiyuan through the hall to the inner room, where Li Juxiang was sitting on a bench picking vegetables. She was surprised to see her daughter bringing someone back, but when she saw that it was Li Zhuiyuan, she couldn't help but smile.

This reminded her of the scene when Li Lan played with her when she was a child.

Li Juxiang immediately stood up and wiped her hands on her apron: "Sit down, Xiaoyuanhou."

Then, she immediately went into the house and took out a lot of food to entertain. Liu Jinxia's family conditions were indeed good, and Cuicui was the only child in the family, so she had the snack treatment that other children in the village envied.

Li Juxiang also opened two bottles of lemon soda, one for Li Zhuiyuan and Cuicui.

This carbonated drink, which looks like a beer bottle, is cheap and very popular. The children were too lazy to pour it into the bowl, so they just picked it up and drank from the bottle, imitating the boldness of the adults when drinking.

"Xiao Yuanhou, is your mother okay?"

"Yes, Auntie."

"I heard that your mother left..." Li Juxiang suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to ask the child this question, and immediately changed the topic, "Your mother and I often played together when we were young, and we had a good relationship."

"Yeah, Mom said about yours, Xianghou, Auntie Xianghou."

Generally, the word "Hou" is only used between elders and peers, and cannot be used by younger generations.

But Li Juxiang certainly would not be angry about this, on the contrary, she was very happy. She could imagine the scene when Li Lan talked about herself to her son and called her "Xianghou", which proved that she had not forgotten herself.

"Your mother was very smart at that time, and her grades were good, unlike me, who gets a headache when seeing books." Li Juxiang tidied her earlobe hair, "When will your mother come home to visit?"

"My mother is busy with work, and she said she would pick me up after she was done."

Cuicui said, "Mom, I'll take Brother Yuanhou upstairs to play."

"Well, go ahead, and take care of little Yuanhou."

Cuicui pulled Li Zhuiyuan up, and when she reached the stairs, she skillfully took off her shoes and changed into a pair of slippers. Li Zhuiyuan also took off his shoes.

"No, Brother Yuanhou, you don't have to take them off, just come up directly."

Li Zhuiyuan still took off his shoes and planned to walk up barefoot, so Cuicui had to hand her mother's slippers to him to put on.

Wearing big slippers, Li Zhuiyuan followed Cuicui to the second floor and came to her room, where a black and white TV was placed.

Liu Jinxia's family had bought a TV a long time ago, but they didn't make it public. The villagers were indifferent to her family, and she was too lazy to invite people to watch TV at home.

Cuicui turned on the standing fan, but the blades didn't move: "Hey, is there a power outage?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "The plug is not plugged in."

No mistakes in one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

"Hey, yes." Cuicui bent down, picked up the plug, and inserted it into the socket on the wall:

"Buzz...Buzz...Buzz...Buzz--"

The heavy fan blades slowly turned, making a sound that could blow away the summer.

"Brother Yuanhou, do you watch TV?"

"Anything is fine."

Cuicui turned on the TV and twisted the wheel. After a circle, there were only a few channels, half of which were still snowy.

"Brother Jing, are you okay?"

"Rong'er, I'm fine."

"Hmph, Ouyang Feng, you..."

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is played regularly on TV every winter and summer vacation.

The two sat on the bed and watched TV for a while, and Li Zhuiyuan suddenly felt sleepy.

He hadn't rested since last night. He was overly nervous before, but now his emotions have subsided and fatigue is coming quickly.

Cuicui mistakenly thought that Li Zhuiyuan didn't want to watch TV, so she got out of bed and began to introduce the dolls, toys and picture books in her room to Li Zhuiyuan.

Although very sleepy, Li Zhuiyuan still looked at her and tried to respond to every introduction she made.

The little girl was immersed in her own sharing joy, but she soon found that she could not hear any response. She turned her head to look at the bedside and found that Li Zhuiyuan had leaned on the bedside and fell asleep.

Cuicui stopped talking immediately, and after approaching quietly, she carefully helped Li Zhuiyuan push the bed flat, folded the thin quilt he used in summer, and covered Li Zhuiyuan's belly.

Then, she pushed the electric fan towards this side, pressed the small button behind the fan, and the fan began to shake its head.

After doing all this, she moved a chair and sat on the bedside, supporting her face with her hands, looking at the sleeping Li Zhuiyuan.

After watching for a while, she smiled secretly, her earlobes turned red, and turned her face away. After a while, she couldn't help but continue to look at him.

Time passed unknowingly.

"Little Cui Hou, Little Cui Hou, bring Little Yuan Hou down to eat." Li Juxiang's shout came from downstairs.

Cuicui went downstairs immediately and said to Li Juxiang, "Mom, Brother Yuanhou is asleep."

"Then you come down to eat first, we'll save some for him."

"No, I'm not hungry, I'm going to wait for Brother Yuanhou to wake up and eat with him."

Most of the parents in the village who are a little conscious will stop their children from going out to play with friends near mealtime, for fear of being invited to the table to eat, which would make them look like they are deliberately taking advantage.

However, sometimes it is inevitable, so they naturally sit at the table.

Cuicui has never experienced this before, and she is willing to wait for Li Zhuiyuan to wake up and eat with him.

Li Juxiang smiled, nodded, and went to the living room to invite her mother and poker friends to have lunch.

Cuicui ran back to the second floor, sat back in that seat, and continued to look at Li Zhuiyuan:

"Huh?"

Cuicui moved closer with some doubt, because she found that Brother Yuanhou frowned.

"Are you dreaming?"

...

"Grandma, I'll bring Brother Yuanhou home to play."

"Well, let's play. Bang!"

Li Zhuiyuan looked at Cuicui standing in front of him, and then looked at Liu Jinxia who was playing cards with three friends in the living room. He knew that he was dreaming.

Because the scene around him was too detached from reality, the vision was all black and white, and all the people and objects seemed to be copied with charcoal pencils.

Although the corresponding people and objects can be presented, they are a little blurry and distorted. The rough lines reveal a strange casualness.

Li Zhuiyuan looked down at himself and found that he was still normal. The abnormal ones were the other people and objects in the dream.

This reminded him of the copy drawings in his mother's study, with the same white charcoal marks.

He dreamed of the scene when he and Cuicui just came to her house to say hello to Liu Jinxia. Then, Cuicui in front of him took his hand and walked in.

The girl's delicate hand was now very rough and a little painful in his hand, like sandpaper.

He couldn't help but break free and stop, but Cuicui continued to walk in alone, but her arm was still holding someone.

Behind him, Liu Jinxia and the other four people who were playing cards in the living room suddenly fell silent.

Li Zhuiyuan looked back and found that the four people were all still and motionless.

Even the smoke rings from Liu Jinxia's mouth were fixed there and did not continue to disperse.

This stillness also gave Li Zhuiyuan the opportunity to observe. The carbon marks on the three card players were very soft and shallow, while the lines of Liu Jinxia's image were very thick, deep and hard.

After standing there for a long time, Li Zhuiyuan was very confused. Every time he dreamed before, he would wake up immediately after realizing that it was a dream, but this time, he was still in a dream.

In the end, Li Zhuiyuan chose to walk in and saw Li Juxiang sitting there picking vegetables. The lines on Li Juxiang's body were also very hard, which was very inconsistent with the thin and light lines around her.

Li Zhuiyuan walked up to Li Juxiang, and the deep carbon marks outlined the details of her expression. She was smiling, and her eyes were filled with reminiscence.

"Auntie Juxiang, Auntie Juxiang?"

Li Zhuiyuan tried to call a few times and waved his hand in front of her, but Li Juxiang remained motionless and did not blink.

After leaving here, Li Zhuiyuan came to the stairs. Before he was ready to go up, he took off his shoes and walked up barefoot.

When he came to the bedroom, the standing fan stopped there and no longer turned. Only a vague sketch of Guo Jing and Huang Rong remained on the TV.

Cuicui was pointing at one of her dolls, her mouth open, as if she was telling a story, and she was also motionless.

The lines on Cuicui's body were clearer and harder than those on her grandmother and mother, almost becoming black hard lines.

It was as if other people and objects were painted, while she was carved.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at the bed, but there was no him on the bed, it was empty.

Not only the objects were still, but also the sounds. Li Zhuiyuan suddenly realized that his ears had not heard any sound for a long time, and the whole world was terribly quiet.

He began to panic because he didn't know how long he would stay in this dream.

He opened the door to the balcony from the bedroom. The balcony on the second floor of this building was connected and covered with red and white tiles.

Looking into the distance, except for some scribbled graffiti near the house that could barely be seen as farmland, most of the area in the field of vision was a bleak blank.

Looking up, there was only a piece of white with a halo in the original position of the sun, which was like an eraser that would fall and erase everything here at any time.

"Hello, is this Madam Liu's house?"

A voice came from the dam below, which seemed so abrupt and even harsh at this moment.

Li Zhuiyuan, who was standing on the second floor, looked down and saw a man who looked about fifty years old, carrying an old lady on his back.

The old lady was very thin, and only a little bit of bones wrapped in dry skin were exposed outside her sleeves. Her hair was very long and messy, scattered on her back.

"Hello, is this Madam Liu's house?"

The man asked again, turning around anxiously with his mother on his back.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't know whether he should answer.

Just then,

the old lady who was lying on the man's back suddenly raised her head, and her face was facing Li Zhuiyuan who was standing on the second floor.

Although they were all images drawn with charcoal pencils, the old lady's eyes showed a kind of delicacy that transcended the limit of the painting style.

That was anger, viciousness, and resentment!

The next moment, Li Zhuiyuan found that everything around him began to rotate and twist, like a vortex that appeared out of thin air, tearing and engulfing everything around him, including himself.

…

"Brother Yuanhou?"

Li Zhuiyuan opened his eyes and saw Cuicui's concerned face.

"Brother Yuanhou, are you dreaming?"

"Yeah." Li Zhuiyuan sat up and responded, "How long have I slept?"

"Not long, two hours. Brother Yuanhou, let's go downstairs to eat."

"No, I'll go home to eat."

"Oh, don't be polite, Brother Yuanhou." Cuicui took Li Zhuiyuan's hand and took him downstairs, "Mom, Brother Yuanhou is awake."

At this moment, Liu Jinxia and her three card friends had already had lunch and started the afternoon session.

Li Juxiang smiled and opened the red lid on the kitchen table. Inside was a specially reserved meal: "Little Yuanhou, come and eat. I'll heat up the soup for you."

"Auntie, I'll go home to eat."

"Be good, be obedient, don't be polite to auntie, auntie has never been polite to your mother before. Besides, Cuicui is waiting for you to wake up and eat together."

"Thank you, auntie."

"Brother Yuanhou, sit here." Cuicui sat down first, and Li Zhuiyuan went to the other side of the table to help get the bowls and chopsticks.

"Go, go, go, sit down, auntie will get it."

"Okay, auntie."

Li Zhuiyuan walked back and sat down. Soon, Li Juxiang put the chopsticks and the bowl of rice in front of him.

Although the dishes on the table were all served in small ordinary bowls, the quantity was not large, but it was more than enough for the two children to eat, two meat and two vegetables, especially the bowl of braised pork with potatoes. There were only two pieces of potatoes as garnish and the rest was all meat, which was obviously specially selected.

Li Juxiang brought a bowl of fish soup, dripped with sesame oil and added some vinegar, the taste was delicious and tempting.

In addition, she opened a can of assorted fruits and poured a bowl in front of each of the two children.

It can be said that in the village, it is really rich.

"Xiao Yuanhou, stay at home to eat in the evening, I will make you some more delicious food." Li Juxiang said with a smile.

Li Zhuiyuan put down his chopsticks and said to Li Juxiang: "It's already a lot, Auntie, you've worked hard."

"Haha, don't put down your chopsticks, eat."

Li Juxiang touched Li Zhuiyuan's head, secretly envious of how Li Lan taught her son. A sensible and polite child is easy to be liked everywhere.

"Little Yuanhou, will your mother cook for you at home?"

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head, put the chopsticks on the bowl, and replied: "Mom won't."

"That's because your mother is busy with work?"

"Yes, she is very busy."

"What about your grandparents' house over there, don't they cook for you?"

"I don't go there often."

"Then where do you usually eat?"

"My neighbor's house."

Generally after school, in the school's family compound, those grandparents who have finished class or retired will take the initiative to take me to their house for dinner.

"Alas, poor child." Li Juxiang stopped asking, and after telling the children to eat by themselves, she took the thermos to add water to the card table.

Just then, a shout came from outside:

"Hey, is this Aunt Liu's house?"

Hearing this voice, Li Zhuiyuan's chopsticks just picked up slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground.

"Pah!"

...

In the hall, Liu Jinxia threw the bridge cards in her hand onto the table and clapped her hands: "Let's go."

The three card players nodded and stood up to end the game. It was obvious that they were already used to this situation.

However, before leaving the hall, they went to the washbasin in the corner one by one to wash their hands.

Soak the banana leaves in the washbasin, wipe the leaves on the hand when washing hands, then throw your hands, and finally wipe it with a towel on the shelf.

The purpose of doing so is to go to the obscureness. Liu Jinxia arranged by herself. Not only did she have no matter how much the villagers' attitude towards her own, but she deliberately set up some sense of ritual to add her mystery.

Li Zhanyuan and Cui Cui walked into the hall. Liu Jinxia was also getting up from the chair and asked, "Did you eat it?"

"I'm eating, come out and see." Cui Cui said.

"What's so good, forget it, Xiao Cui Hou, helped grandma to accept the card."

"Okay, milk."

After ordering, Liu Jinxia walked around, and there was a shade room in her office. It was her office.

"Slowly, there is a threshold here." Li Juxiang's voice came from the outside, and she went out to meet when she heard a call.

"Okay, nothing to get, nothing to get."

Li Zhanyuan looked at the gate of the hall, and saw that Li Juxiang helped an old man crossing the threshold.

The old man was leaning forward, holding his waist, and his hands on his waist behind him.

It's also like ... carrying a person who doesn't exist.

"Is this your fine?" The old man looked at the two children with a smile.

"The girl is my house, and the male child is my sister's house. My mother is waiting for you, and the front door goes in and turn right to the end."

"Okay, okay, I will go here, but you can't let Liu Yan wait." The old man continued to walk.

Li Zhanyuan, who was standing behind, kept staring at the humpback of the other party.

The old man walked into the inner door of the hall and turned to the right. He should continue to walk in, but suddenly stopped his body.

Because he was a hump forward, the position above his shoulders had been blocked by the wall at this time, leaving only the humpback and staying in the sight.

Immediately afterwards,

His hands negatively on the back of the back and eyes of the back unconsciously raised upwards, pressed his left arm down, the right arm was placed, his buttocks moved inside, his shoulders turned outwards, and his side face had been attached to the wall.

Li Zhanyuan looked at his empty back. At this moment, he felt as if there was a person there, holding his body on his back and "seeing" himself.

Li Juxiang asked: "What are you?"

The old man's original rough voice suddenly mixed with a little sharp hoarse, saying:

"This fine ..."

Li Zhanyuan clenched his hands nervously. When he suddenly remembered that his mother had led himself to browse a wall mural, he asked his mother why a large area here was empty and did not draw things. The mother answered:

Xiaoyuan, this is a whitening, letting you imagine yourself, this effect will be better.

At that time, I was still a little ignorant. Now, I seem to understand it.

"You go, my mother is waiting for you inside."

Li Juxiang urged again. She really didn't know why this person stopped here. However, she didn't think that this person's posture was strange. After all, the other party was a camel, even if he stood still, it was strange.

"Um." The old man responded, but suddenly squatted down, and at the same time, his body fell slightly back, holding his hands to the ground.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Li Juxiang reached out to help, but the other party does not look at the head of the hump, but the power now is really sinking. She hasn't pulled it up at all, but fortunately, the other party held a balance with both hands, but she just squatted backwards. , Never planted.

Seeing this, Li Zhanyuan took two steps back.

This posture is very like a movement that puts down the back.

The sunlight outside the hall is into the hall, and the old -fashioned tiles on the ground cannot reflect much gloss, and at most show a little bright and dark change.

Li Zhanyuan moved down, and at the inner door, it seemed that there were two areas of the size of the feet, which darkened a little.

Very minor, to Li Zhanyuan, I felt that I was dazzling and I thought too much.

But immediately, the color of the new two areas darkened and recovered, but the distance from it was getting closer and closer.

Finally, the two darkened colors appeared on the tiles in front of them without dissipating.

The cold wind blows, and Li Zhanyuan feels that his face, chest, and hands and feet have begun to be cold, but the problem is that he is facing the house. Where does the wind come from in this house?

The second half of the two darkens disappeared, the first half was aggravated, and the coolness in front of him increased.

Li Zhanyuan swallowed, his eyes began to flash and shift, a kind of instinct made him unhappy, as if in front of the invisible body, there was an old lady, leaning forward, she was leaning forward. She The face is posing to yourself.

Li Zhanyuan bit his lips.

Suddenly, he felt that his left face was getting better, as if a piece of ice was posted, and his scalp began to numb, and he stroked the kind.

The old man squatted on the ground, then turned his head to look at it, and continued to say something before:

"This thinner is really good."
