Chapter 29: Betrayal?

The night fell slowly, and it was very strange tonight. It was clear that the day was gloomy, but it was only seven or eight o'clock that there was a full moon hanging in the sky.

The old man stood in front of the attic window and looked at the moonlight in the sky. I stood behind him. Mr. Tie gave me a dress of black clothes, so that he could go to Mr. Liu's room to find out the news later!

"Let's stop sleeping later. Go down and help keep the coffin. I think it's not peaceful tonight." The old man said in a serious tone. The moon in the sky seemed as white as a white steamed bun, and the pale moonlight shone on the attic, making me tremble involuntarily.

After nine o'clock, the sound of gongs sounded on time below. I knew the second New Year was coming, but the one lying down was also miserable! The Liu family had such a big family business, and there was not a filial son. I heard that the one who carried him across the bridge that day was invited by Mr. Liu to spend a lot of money from the next village.

In our place, three New Years (Salvation) are usually held for three days and three nights in a row. The dead old man is guarded by a filial son, and the young man is guarded by a wife and a filial son, while those who have no wives also guarded by a parents.

When we went down, according to the etiquette, the deceased's first wife (A Xiu) should be present. I didn't expect that I could see her several times but I didn't see her. It would be better if she didn't wash the body. It would be a bit too much if the second hall of the New Year was not coming.

There are some old people in the mourning hall, and the young ones ran back to sleep. After seeing the evil of the coffin in the world, who would dare to run here in the middle of the night to help guard the corpse? Old Tie saw the old man and I walking down, and nodded to us while reciting scriptures. I accompanied the old man to sit in the mourning hall for a while.

It was about twelve o'clock, and Old Tie and the old man looked at me at the same time. I knew it was time to work, so I looked at them for a moment. I got up and pretended to go upstairs. When I walked to the door, I sneaked through the kitchen.

I walked around the kitchen and entered the back of the attic. It was dark inside. I had to walk tightly against the wall and sneaked to the big room behind the attic. As soon as I arrived at the door, the sound of the gong outside sounded instantly, and the sound became louder and louder!

I knew that the old man and the others started to cover up, and I was not vague. I jumped onto the roof and climbed along the tiles. Since it was a house made of earthen tiles, I could see the situation inside by taking the tiles off the roof. When I was a child, I often went to the roof to steal things, so I was familiar with the way to remove the tiles on Mr. Liu's roof piece by piece.

As soon as I opened a hole, I saw the white candles lit in the house at a glance. My old face turned red in the scene inside. I saw that Ah Xiu was wearing very little clothes, wearing a white sand dress, and looked almost transparent. Old Master Liu sat on the edge of the bed and watched her twist her body in front of him. I was not able to bear the stimulation without human affairs. I only saw Ah Xiu jumping.

Mr. Liu, who had been quiet, couldn't help it, and rushed forward, grabbed A Xiu's slender waist, and whispered, "My little fairy!"

After A Xiu was hugged by him, he had no intention of resisting. Instead, he rubbed his body against Mr. Liu's body, and kept blowing his mouth in Mr. Liu's ear, making Mr. Liu's desire burst into tears. Mr. Liu, who was in his sixties, actually picked A Xiu up. His other hand suddenly pulled A Xiu and wiped him out all of him.

Seeing the scene at that time, I suddenly tilted my head. The material foot touched the tiles taken off the roof, and a crisp sound was made.

"Who?" The roar of Mr. Liu immediately came from the room. I was shocked and hurriedly covered the hole with my clothes to prevent the moonlight from leaking in. Then I lay on the roof and learned to meow.

"Meow Meow Meow Meow..."

"Whose dead cat, get out of here!" Old Master Liu roared, and I didn't know what I had lost to the roof. I immediately stopped the sound and lay quietly on the roof, not daring to let out a breath.

"Master, ignore that unopposed beast, let's continue." A Xiu's voice was charming, and I immediately heard the sound of going to bed.

"My little goblin, see if I don't deal with you well tonight!"

"Oh, the master is so bad"

I secretly told myself that I could not listen anymore because I couldn't hear it. The sound from inside made me blush and gently put the tiles back in place. After I quietly climbed down the roof and headed straight to the mourning hall.

As soon as Nazhi ran to the kitchen door, I saw an oil lamp coming. I was so scared that I immediately ran to the water tank to hide. The oil lamp became closer and closer, and a curved figure walked out.

Grandma Chen was holding an oil lamp, holding a processed chicken in her hand, probably for Mr. Liu. When she was passing by the water tank, she suddenly stopped, and then the light of the oil lamp shone on the water tank.

"Who? Come out!"

I said something bad, but I had to bite the bullet and walk out. When Grandma Chen saw me coming out of the back of the water tank, she exclaimed in surprise.

"Sir, why are you hiding here?"

"I,..." I stammered and couldn't speak. The scene was a little awkward for a moment. I couldn't say that I just climbed the roof of your master and peeked at your master's good things.

"Why are you a big man who dares to do things and hesitate when speaking?" Grandma Chen suddenly said angrily, her tone was very anxious. My heart beat faster and I had to bite the bullet and say.

"I wasn't full for dinner, so I thought about coming to the kitchen to steal food. No, I'm here to find food. As soon as the ingredients were about to enter the house, you came."

My words made Grandma Chen laugh with a sniffle. She walked to me, pinched my ears, and then taught me a lesson.

"Children need to learn well. Don't steal things next time, come with me."

After saying that, I let go of my ears and went into the kitchen with the chicken. I had to follow her with grievance. After entering the kitchen, she stuffed me something wrapped in lotus leaves. When I opened it, I saw that it turned out to be a roast chicken.

"No, no, I can take a little at most." In the countryside, this kind of roast chicken was only available to wealthy families. For example, my family background could only afford it during the Chinese New Year, otherwise I would not have fought hard for 300 yuan.
