Chapter 114 [Uncle]
On the other end of the phone was a notice from my uncle's critical illness. My grandmother said that his face was scary and his qi and blood had already declined so he probably wouldn't have lived for two days.
My uncle had advanced gastric cancer. When Li Mubai returned to his grandmother's house, his grandmother went to see him. It was the third month of the treatment period. Now more than a month has passed. In short, his uncle has been in the last five months. It is conceivable that he spent a lot of money on treatment. His strong will is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.
After asking for five days off from counselor Zhang Lingling, Li Mubai hurried to his uncle's hometown, because it took most of the day to leave from school to his uncle's hometown. It is already noon now, and if it goes by, it is probably already evening.
However, Lu Fei wanted to go over and take a look, because his family was not in Yonghe City, and he was also a person who could not rest. However, Su Ming did not fully recover and Bai Han was not there. He was afraid that something would happen, so he was forced to stay at the school by Li Mubai. When Li Mubai left, Lu Fei still looked unwilling.
Li Mubai was always upset in the car because for a while he lived in his uncle's house. During that time, his parents made a serious fuss. His aunt and uncle treated him like his own sons, so he was so anxious. His uncle was an official in a government agency, and his aunt was a teacher in a high school. One of his two cousins was in a government agency and the other was in a higher education institution.
In the evening, Li Mubai arrived in the town, and his eldest cousin-in-law drove to pick him up.
My cousin's husband is a very gentle middle-aged man named Cheng Chen. He used to be a teacher, but now he works in a government department in the town. He has black-framed eyes, a little fat, and has a flat head.
"Have you eaten."
Cheng Chen stared in front of the driver's seat and asked.
"not yet."
Li Mubai answered honestly, because he was too busy going out, he didn't even eat lunch, and now he missed dinner. It would be fine if his cousin-law didn't say it, but his stomach started to ring out in a bad mood.
"It's almost home. I'll ask your cousin to help you make some food later. There are also your niece's things in the car. Let's eat something. It's not good if you get hungry."
Cheng Chen said with a faint smile.
"By the way, how are my uncle?"
Because I have a good relationship with my eldest cousin, my relationship with this brother-in-law is naturally better than others, and I can talk about anything.
"I'm afraid I can't stand it tonight. I couldn't eat anymore. Now I'm just lying on nutrient solution. I'm so thin that I can't see the meat."
Cheng Chen sighed slightly and whispered.
"Hey, this is all fate. Why can't good people live long?"
My uncle was not very old and just retired. His two daughters were married. Now he is only happy. However, when he was checking his health, he got this torture disease. This disease is the most painful. In the later stage, he cannot drink liquid and can only rely on nutritional fluid.
The ghost hunting notes record that if a person starved to death has resentment and does not vomit, he will turn into a hungry ghost. This is also what he is worried about. Moreover, many people will hold their breath before they die and cannot expose it. Although the soul will be taken away at the moment when a person dies, they will be released from the underworld by the underworld in the first seventh.
"Well, by the way, how is the school situation? Are you still used to it? I will be assigned to the Huatian District Government Department of Yonghe City in the second half of this year. You will come to play at that time. Your niece misses you very much."
The corners of my cousin Cheng Chen's mouth curled up slightly, as if she was very happy.
It is no wonder that my cousin is a very well-behaved person. He doesn't even smoke cigarettes, just drinks some wine for socializing, and does not go through the back door. It is completely real and extremely rare to be able to be promoted to the city.
"Okay, congratulate my brother-in-law on his promotion in advance. Stop talking, it's coming soon."
When Li Mubai saw an intersection in front of him, he suddenly opened his mouth. The village was in the mountains and valleys. Now the countryside is good, and cement roads have been built. From the entrance of the village to the inside, all the households have built cement roads. I heard that my uncle has put most of the efforts on the village, otherwise it would be a bumpy path here and it would not be able to be built into cement roads at all.
The road is quite spacious, with woods next to it and stretching mountains next to it. I occasionally see buildings by the roadside. It took a few minutes to enter from the entrance of the village before the car arrived at my uncle's house.
When the car entered the yard, the yard was brightly lit. After getting off the car, Li Mubai headed straight to his uncle's house.
There is still a building next to my uncle's house for hundreds of years, close to his younger brother's house.
There was a fluorescent light in the house. The wattage was not very large, and it could barely illuminate a room, but it was not very dazzling. When he stepped in, the surroundings were very quiet. When he quietly opened the door, he saw a big bed surrounded by many people. Many of these people were about the same age as Li Mubai, most of them were women, and there was only one boy of the same age as Li Mubai. These were all nephews and nieces from his uncle. Some of them came back very early. They looked very bad, surrounded by their uncle's bed, looking like they were inseparable.
What is most noticeable is that there are a few elderly people sitting here, with uncle's father sitting next to him, and some aunts, the grandparents all have gray hair, holding handkerchiefs in their hands, constantly wiping their tears.
The uncle on the bed was already very thin. Originally, Uncle Li Mubai was relatively thin, but now it was like a skeleton shelf covered with a layer of skin, and the gums were shrinking, their teeth were particularly prominent, and they could not see their hair on their heads.
When Li Mubai came in, his cousin-law told him that his uncle could no longer speak. Now there was oxygen in his nostrils, his eyes were slightly closed, and no one spoke in it, filled with a breath that made Li Mubai extremely uncomfortable. He was very familiar with this breath, as if he had smelled it somewhere, quietly and strange.
My aunt leaned against the bed and fell asleep. After Li Mubai came in, the relatives and friends around him seemed very surprised. He glanced at his aunt and found that the last time he saw her, her hair was still covered in black hair, now her temples were white, and even the wrinkles on her face were a lot more.
The eldest cousin stood behind the bed, smiled slightly at Li Mubai, and waved.
Li Mubai walked over. There was a cabinet behind my cousin, with a Buddha statue on it, burning sandalwood, and a faint fragrance mixed in the air. But strangely, there was a buzzing sound inside. After a closer look, I found that there were several fly flying in the room. Next to the Buddha statue was there, and there was also a great compassion mantra.
Logically speaking, the weather is not very hot now, and my uncle's house has always been very clean, so how could there be flies?
Li Mubai glanced at the plastic basin under the bed and immediately understood that although the plastic basin was cleaned, there was still some blood stains left on it. It was not difficult to see that these flies appeared here because they smelled the smell of carrion.
"Have you eaten?"
The eldest cousin spoke in a low voice, Li Mubai shook his head, and she pulled him out of the room. Just as she left the room, she suddenly felt a longing gaze staring at him. As soon as he turned around, he found that his uncle had opened his eyes. The rest of his body had faded, but his eyes were extremely clear, black and black, just as bright as the eyes of a newborn baby, and some people who were ashamed of themselves dared not look at it.
Li Mubai was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, nodded at his uncle's location, while his uncle blinked, meaning he knew he was coming.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to pass tonight. He was in a daze, unconscious, and was extremely awake again. He went on several twists and turns, and he insisted that someone wanted to catch him."
Walking into the ping-board outside, the eldest cousin sighed and whispered.
"Someone wants to catch him? They are so sick that they still want to catch him?"
Li Mubai asked a little strangely.
"Yes, it was my father who said that there was a man standing by his bed and trying to take him away. Of course, he might be talking nonsense. After all, we didn't see it, but it was strange that Huang Ming said that he saw it in a dream and saw that person trying to harm his uncle."
After thinking about it, my cousin spoke in a serious tone.
Huang Ming, whom she mentioned, is the nephew of her uncle, a boy of the same age as Li Mubai. She also studied in a university in the university town. She has three sisters in her family, and he is the fourth one. Li Mubai has played with him before. He is a very restrained child, not very talkative, and has a little gloomy personality.
When Li Mubai heard this, a chill suddenly appeared in his heart. He originally thought that the underworld had a soul-hitting mission to come up to restrain the soul, but when he heard that Huang Ming had this dream, he immediately knew that it was not a soul-hitting mission, or another ghost, because the evil mission would not appear in the dream of mortals at all.
