Chapter 77 A Dispute
My words seemed to instantly anger my second uncle, and he ran out of the house cursing.
Second uncle's eyes fell on me, as if he wanted to kill me.
If looks could kill, I would have died dozens or hundreds of times.
Second uncle reached out and dragged me into the house, cursing, "What nonsense are you talking about, you little bastard? Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart."
Second uncle was furious. I went to his house and said to him, "Second uncle, let's talk it out. What do you mean by hitting me?"
I broke free from his hand without any courtesy.
Anyway, my relationship with my second uncle is not good. I treat him as an elder, but he never treats me as a junior.
So I don't need to be polite to him.
I have been slaughtering pigs for many years and I am very strong. Second uncle is really no match for me. When I shook him off, he staggered and almost lost his balance.
After I got away, I didn't take any further action. I looked at my second uncle and said, "Second uncle, I'm here to have a good time with you, not to fight with you."
My second uncle was obviously very angry. He cursed at me and said, "You little bastard, are you going to take action now? How dare you lay hands on me? Come on, come with me to find your parents. I want to let your parents see what kind of son they raised."
He wanted to come forward and pull me again, but this time I didn't give him any chance. I took a few steps back and directly closed the door of his house.
"what are you doing?"
"Uncle, I'm not doing anything. I just want to ask you if Grandpa has come to see you recently."
I looked at my second uncle with sharp eyes.
"You are crazy. Your grandfather is dead. Why are you still looking for me?"
When Second Uncle said this, his eyes were obviously evasive. Looking at him, it seemed that he felt a little guilty.
"Second uncle, grandpa used to have the best relationship with you. Now that grandpa is dead, I didn't see him at all on the night of the seventh day of vigil. It is said that on the seventh day of the return of the soul, the soul will come to find the person with whom he had the best relationship. So if you say that grandpa didn't come to see you, I don't believe it at all."
I spoke every word with great seriousness.
Second uncle’s eyes suddenly widened with anger and he continued to look at me. Time passed by every second.
I didn't avoid his gaze at all and we stared at each other for a while.
Second uncle suddenly asked: "Chen Yang, how did you know?"
It seemed like he had finally given up "resistance" and was going to tell me these things.
The second uncle finally took a step back. He looked behind me, as if to see if there was anyone behind him. After looking for a few times and finding no one, the second uncle said to me, " Come with me."
Second uncle turned and walked upstairs, and I followed him, going up step by step.
His house was a two-story building. We soon reached the rooftop. There was a small attic on the rooftop. The room was very small. My second uncle pushed the door open, and it was pitch black inside and we couldn't see anything.
After he came in, he turned on the light, and the next second, my expression couldn't help but change.
I took a deep breath, because I saw a coffin in the room. The coffin was pitch black, and under the coffin, there was an incense burner, but there was no incense lit in the burner.
But there was dust from the incense burner inside, and I could tell at a glance that there were definitely signs of burning.
This means that there may be someone in this coffin.
What was the second uncle's purpose in bringing a coffin containing a dead person into his home?
There was also a table, a small bed and several stools in the room.
We came and sat down at the table.
I remained silent at this moment and did not speak immediately. After waiting for a while, my second uncle finally spoke: "Chen Yang, do you know why I brought you here?"
I:"……"
I thought to myself, what my second uncle was saying is nonsense. I wish I knew.
I shook my head.
My second uncle said to me, "Chen Yang, this coffin is what I prepared for your grandfather. Your grandfather's body is now in this coffin."
I:"……"
My heart was filled with waves. It seemed that what Lord Li said before was true. Grandpa really came to see my second uncle.
I took a deep breath, and my heart couldn't help but beat "thump thump" as if it was about to jump out of my throat at any time.
"Your grandfather told me to do this in a dream."
Second uncle paused for a moment and spoke again.
"My grandfather told you to do this in a dream? Didn't he come to find you?"
I continued speaking.
As I spoke, I stared at my second uncle. I wanted to see if he was lying or not.
Besides, if grandpa’s body was really in the coffin, it would be impossible for it not to emit some rotten smell, after all, the body had been there for so long.
Now I suspect that my grandfather’s ghost might be nearby.
"That's right, your grandfather told me to do it in a dream, but don't ask me why your grandfather told me to do it, I just did it anyway."
Second uncle spoke.
"Why did you force me to go to the wake that day?"
I looked at my second uncle and said.
"Your grandfather asked you to go."
I:"……"
As I listened to my second uncle say these words, I felt that he was completely talking nonsense, and it seemed that something was wrong the more he spoke.
Grandpa, can you let me do these things?
And what is the reason for doing these things? I stared at my second uncle, trying to find any flaws, but after staring for a while, I still couldn't see any problems.
Second uncle looked extremely calm, without revealing the slightest flaw.
That should be true.
But why let me do this?
At this moment, I felt my mind was a little confused. I thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. I thought about it for a while.
“Why did my grandpa do this?”
Second uncle rolled his eyes at me and said, "You ask me, how should I know?"
His words choked me to death, leaving me speechless.
I was silent for a while, then said, "Can you open the coffin and let me see it?"
"cannot."
This time, my second uncle had almost no hesitation and rejected me directly.
"Why not? Did you do something bad to grandpa?"
This sentence of mine made my second uncle turn against me.
"Little bastard, do you really think I dare not do anything to you?"
Second uncle looked at me menacingly, his eyes seemed as if he wanted to eat me.
"I've told you everything I should and shouldn't say, Chen Yang. You can leave now. Once you leave this door, I'll pretend you've never been here."
As the second uncle spoke, he took out a cigarette and lit it.
But I still didn't move. Seeing this, I continued, "Uncle, didn't you think that Grandpa's death was unusual and that he might have been murdered by someone?"
Second uncle exhaled a puff of smoke and said something that left me speechless.
