Chapter 62 The Body Disappears
My cousin looked at me in surprise, as if I were a fool.
I immediately came back to my senses. Even if I told my second and third uncles about this, would they be interested?
They only thought about who would pay for burying their uncle.
I looked at my uncle lying on the ground and sighed in my heart. I couldn't just dig a hole and bury him. If I did that, it would be too unfair to my uncle.
I thought about it for a while, and then asked my uncle, "What should we do now?"
My cousin uncle seemed to have had this idea in mind before and said to me, "Xiaoyang, you can only bury your uncle first."
I said okay, but before the burial, I have to buy a coffin.
My cousin thought for a while and then said to me, "Okay, leave the coffin matter to me and I will do it."
"So what should we do now, uncle?"
"It's simple. Let's take it away together."
My cousin's words stunned me for a few seconds. I immediately repeated what he said. He nodded and said, "Why leave it here if you don't take it back? What if a wild dog encounters it and tears it to pieces?"
I listened to him talk and felt that there was some truth in what he said.
I looked at my uncle and he looked at me.
He started by saying to me, "Xiaoyang, you wouldn't ask me, your uncle, to do this kind of thing, would you?"
The look in my cousin's eyes showed that he would definitely not help me carry my uncle's body.
I didn't say much. With his help, I carried my uncle's body and walked towards the village entrance.
Fortunately, it was very late and everyone in the village was asleep. There was no one on the road, so I carried my uncle's body and got on the car.
Today is the day when my grandfather's soul returns to his body. After placing my uncle's body in place, I said to my cousin, "I will continue to keep vigil for my grandfather now."
My cousin said, "If you leave, what will happen to your uncle's body? Leave it here?"
My cousin and I looked at each other, and I said, "Otherwise, you stay here and look after uncle's body, and I'll continue to keep vigil for grandpa."
"Okay, if you have anything, just call me immediately."
I said yes.
It is now early morning and the temperature in the air has become a little chilly.
I walked forward by myself, but Yuan Xiaohua's voice suddenly rang out again, saying, "Brother, that place is very dangerous, don't go there."
Yuan Xiaohua always reminds me of these things.
But what Yuan Xiaohua said is very correct and basically there is nothing wrong with it.
This made my heart sink .
My uncle just pretended to be dead, and Yuan Xiaohua was right. Now he says there is danger over there. Could it be that my grandfather will come out?
When I heard Yuan Xiaohua say this, I asked, "What's going to happen over there?"
I asked Yuan Xiaohua very seriously and waited for her answer.
Time passed by, and Yuan Xiaohua didn't delay for too long. She immediately said to me, "Brother, this place is more dangerous than the place I stayed before. Brother, if you go there, you will definitely be in danger."
"Brother, you won't be able to handle it alone."
Yuan Xiaohua's voice sounded a little childish, but very serious.
I paused and looked ahead, but I couldn't see very far in the direction the flashlight was pointing.
After hearing what Yuan Xiaohua said, I began to feel a little worried.
But thinking about the possibility of seeing grandpa again, I decided to continue the vigil.
I said to Yuan Xiaohua, "It's okay."
When Yuan Xiaohua heard me say this, she didn't say anything.
It didn't take long for me to return to the cemetery. The bonfire that had been burning before had not yet completely gone out, and there were still flames. I walked closer and found some firewood to reignite the fire.
The flames bloomed, and I sat next to the campfire, feeling the warmth.
I looked at the time. It was almost two o'clock in the morning, and there was still no movement at my grandfather's grave.
In this way, I stayed here for the whole night and even dozed off for a while, but the danger that Yuan Xiaohua mentioned did not happen and everything was still very stable.
When I saw the sky was getting foggy and dawn was approaching, I got up and headed towards where my cousin was.
My cousin was snoring in the car. I walked over and called out to him, but when I looked inside the car, I only saw my cousin and not my uncle. I immediately became anxious.
I opened the car door and called out to my cousin. After he was woken up by my call, he looked at me with a confused expression.
"What's wrong? Xiaoyang, you've finished your wake. Is nothing wrong?"
Seeing that my uncle was still groggy, I couldn't help but ask, "Where's uncle?"
After hearing my shout, my cousin came back to his senses and asked, "What uncle?"
After the cousin said this, he probably felt something was wrong, and came back to his senses, and asked, "Is the eldest cousin missing?"
"yes."
I also said anxiously.
My cousin's uncle seemed to be stimulated and jumped out of the car. He searched inside and outside the car but did not find my uncle.
We were all dumbfounded.
"Uncle, didn't you say that your talisman is very useful?"
"Yeah, that shouldn't be the case. Could it be that someone stole your uncle's body?"
When my cousin spoke, his pupils dilated.
His suggestion immediately stirred up a wave of emotion in my heart, and I couldn't believe it.
Is there anyone else who stole my uncle’s body?
This is impossible, I denied it in my heart. My eyes fell on my cousin and I continued, "Do you think the talisman on my uncle's body fell off and he died on his own?"
When I said this, I suddenly thought of something important, and I couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, can you see if there are any bite marks on your body?"
As soon as I finished speaking, my uncle's eyes fell on me. He was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He said, "Don't scare me."
My cousin quickly began to check the wounds on his body. After some examination, he found that there were no obvious signs of bites on his body.
He looked relieved.
After confirming that my uncle was fine, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But the most urgent task is to find out where my uncle has gone.
We started searching nearby, but after more than an hour, we found nothing. We then entered the village and found no trace of my uncle either.
After all the trouble, the sky was almost completely bright.
Before my parents noticed me, my uncle and I had already left the village.
When we got in the car, we both looked worried.
"Uncle, let's go find the Taoist priest."
My words reminded him and he nodded and said okay.
We hurried back to the slaughterhouse, and I waited there while my cousin went to find the Taoist priest.
