Regarding the fact that Li Xiaoqi didn't do anything at all, but directly pushed away her son, Chu Xi's mother did not show the aggressiveness before. Instead, she stepped forward and held Chu Xi's head, and kept asking Li Xiaoqi He bowed to Yang Shuang and admitted his mistake. Li Xiaoqi didn't care about what the three members of the Chu family said and did. The only thing he cared about was Zhang Yue'er, whom he had been thinking about day and night.
After being greeted by Chu Xi's parents to sit down, Li Xiaoqi, who had not taken his eyes away from Zhang Yue'er since he entered the room and saw her, finally couldn't help it and said to Zhang Yue'er through "waves of missing".
"How are you doing during this time?"
Although Li Xiaoqi, who was "shielded" by Zhang Yue'er, could not hear Zhang Yue'er's concern for him or whether he responded, but through the fleeting fluctuation in Zhang Yue'er's eyes, Li Xiaoqi felt that Zhang Yue'er still cared about him. , Compared with Li Xiaoqi who ignored some things because of his sleepiness at the beginning, when Yang Shuang entered Chu Xi's house and saw Zhang Yue'er, he noticed that Zhang Yue'er's eyes changed after seeing Li Xiaoqi's sloppy and decadent appearance. The distress and affection were clearly revealed. Looking at the two people's reactions at this moment, Yang Shuang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This pair of happy enemies is a headache.
Because Li Xiaoqi looked at Zhang Yue'er with too much passion, Chu Xi, Zhang Yue'er's so-called "current boyfriend", felt very angry. However, fearing the domineering strength Li Xiaoqi had just shown, Chu Xi could only cough. Finally, he said in a slightly unkind tone.
"My parents invited you here to solve the problem, not to keep an eye on Xiaoyue!"
In fact, Chu Xi's parents also saw Li Xiaoqi's gaze on Zhang Yue'er, but as they grew older, they did not point it out. However, after hearing their son's unkind words towards Li Xiaoqi, Chu Xi's parents The father smoothed things over with a smile.
"This Great Fairy, did you see anything from my female classmate Xiao Xi?"
After hearing what Chu Xi's father said, Li Xiaoqi glanced at Zhang Yuer again, cleared his throat and said as if nothing was wrong.
"Hmm... As soon as I entered the door, I saw an auspicious aura from this woman. She must be a very rich and noble person."
"As long as you don't make random suspicions, you will marry a good husband in the future."
As soon as Li Xiaoqi finished speaking, Chu Xi's mother said with a smile on her face.
"Xiao Yue, I fell in love with this kid the first time I saw him. He is quiet and good at studying, and he is also very sensible."
"I'm just alone now, but that doesn't matter, as long as I can enter the same university as my Xiaoxi in the future."
"Maybe I will have a good daughter-in-law as soon as I graduate from college."
Hearing her mother's words, Chu Xi looked at Li Xiaoqi very proudly, and Yang Shuang deliberately said to Li Xiaoqi through "missing waves".
"This family is so shameless. Brothers, why don't we become this family?"
As soon as Yang Shuang finished speaking, he and Li Xiaoqi heard Zhang Yue'er say to them through "missing waves".
"How dare you!"
After all, Li Xiaoqi and Yang Shuang were not invited by Chu Xi's parents just for a casual chat. After the polite greetings, Chu Xi's father also talked about the purpose of inviting Li Xiaoqi and Yang Shuang this time. One week before the start of the term at "Andong No. 1 Middle School", Chu Xi's eighty-seven-year-old grandfather passed away peacefully in his sleep one night. According to the tradition of his hometown, if a relative dies in the family, unless the death is natural, the body must be kept. It must be kept at home for three days, and the remains of the elderly must be kept at home for three days.
Even though Chu Xi’s family is only in the lower middle class now, their ancestors also had a good time. Therefore, in their hometown in the countryside, the Chu family has an ancient courtyard with several entrances and several exits, because Chu Xi’s grandfather has a high seniority in the family. , so for this funeral, many people from the family returned. Many people from the Chu family returned, but there were very few people who were truly sad. Even what Chu Xi’s parents thought was after their father was buried. How to obtain more inheritance among several of my brothers and sisters.
So, in such a false and sad atmosphere, the time came before dawn on the third day. As soon as it dawned, Chu Xi's grandfather would be buried. As one of the younger generations of the Chu family, Chu Xi naturally They had to take turns keeping vigil in front of their grandfather's coffin with other brothers and sisters. The most important thing the elders in the family told them was not to let wild cats jump over their grandfather's coffin, otherwise something bad would happen.
Chu Xi didn't take this to heart. On the third day of the wake, it was the turn of Chu Xi and his two cousins. The boring three people had been respectfully kneeling in front of his grandfather's coffin the night before. The elders all went to bed, and the three bored people started chatting and playing poker.
Until about three o'clock in the morning, Chu Xi, who was dozing on a chair, suddenly heard a cat meowing. Although his mind immediately recalled the words of his elders, he, who had never believed in ghosts and gods, did not let go. In his mind, just when he was about to continue sleeping, he suddenly heard a sound like a walking stick touching the ground in the mourning hall. At the same time, a cold wind blew into the mourning hall with an unpleasant stale smell. Chu Xi, who shivered all over, said angrily without even opening his eyes.
"I said you two are boring brothers. You just use grandpa's crutches to fool around. Aren't you afraid that our old man will fake his body?"
As soon as Chu Xi finished speaking, he thought the sound of the crutches touching the ground actually stopped. After cursing "Silly X" in a low voice, he was ready to continue sleeping. But at this moment, the sound of his grandfather's coffin came out of the coffin. In the direction, the sound of fierce collision of wooden boards suddenly sounded. Chu Xi, who couldn't sleep at all, opened his eyes and was about to say something when he saw his two cousins standing in front of his grandfather's coffin, shaking like Sai Kang. The same, and then Chu Xi saw that the grandfather's coffin board was like an allegro, beating the coffin crazily, and in the dark gap between the coffin board and the coffin, Chu Xi seemed to see a pair of strange eyes, The one on the left is a normal human eye, while the one on the right is a dark green cat's eye!
Soon Chu Xi's two cousins ran out while exclaiming, "It's a fake corpse!" However, the miserable Chu Xi was knocked to the ground by one of his cousins and fainted, waiting for Chu Xi. When Xi woke up again, he was not sucked out of blood by the deceased who pretended to be a zombie like in traditional horror stories, but the solemn expressions of the relatives and everyone around him still showed that something happened last night. It was an ordinary thing, and no matter how Chu Xi asked his parents, his parents were perfunctory and told him nothing.
Grandpa Chu Xi's body was not buried as scheduled. What puzzled him was that when he stood outside the mourning hall, he saw his grandfather's coffin tied up with several thick hemp ropes like rice dumplings. It felt like , It’s really like preventing your own grandfather from committing suicide.
With such a commotion, almost all the people who came to attend the funeral left, and only a few brothers and sisters of Chu Xi's father stayed behind in order to divide the family property. They just waited until the fifth day. The scalps of the brothers and sisters finally stopped getting hard. It was clear that no one had touched Grandpa Chu Xi’s coffin during the day, and no one heard any strange noises. When they woke up on the fifth day after a night, all the ropes on the coffin were broken. , at the same time, I learned through the curses of the villagers outside the house that just last night, many chickens and ducks in the villagers had their heads bit off and their blood sucked dry by unknown animals. Some even said that last night , and heard a strange sound that sounded like a cat meowing.
At first, the villagers who cursed did not connect all this with the funeral of Grandpa Chu Xi. However, for three consecutive days, Chu Xi’s father and uncle always went to the village to buy hemp rope. What did the villagers ask them? Chu Xi The father and uncle also hesitated and said nothing, until later the chickens and ducks in the village were wiped out, and the pigs, cattle and sheep began to suffer. The superstitious villagers finally connected the mysterious deaths of the livestock in the village with the funeral of Grandpa Chu Xi. Come together.
Under the threat of the whole village, young and old, with rakes, hoes, kitchen knives and hammers, Chu Xi's father and uncle bravely cut the hemp rope and opened his father's coffin at noon when the sun was brightest. In an instant, a pungent stale smell rushed towards Chu Xi's father and uncle. Chu Xi's father quickly avoided it, and his uncle, after inhaling a large amount of stale smell, even though it was just He took a few steps back, but everyone present could see that Uncle Chu Xi's face was dark and shiny.
When everyone gathered in front of the open coffin of Grandpa Chu Xi, they were surprised to find that under the current temperature, although the body could not start to rot in a few days, it should not look like it, as if it was asleep. , and what’s even weirder is that Grandpa Chu Xi’s hair was clearly shaved when he died, but now he has shawl-like white hair, and the nails on his hands are so long and sharp that they can stab someone to death. What everyone is most concerned about now is, Chu Xi Are there wild beast-like fangs growing out of Grandpa’s mouth?
The surrounding villagers wanted Chu Xi's father to check, but even if it was his own father, judging from the old man's current changes, Chu Xi's father didn't have the guts to look. After thinking about it again and again, Chu Xi's father bit him. Said with teeth.
"I'll pay you a thousand yuan, who dares to look at my father's mouth!"
As the saying goes, "With a lot of money, there will be a reckless man." Under the temptation of money, a stupid young man in the village walked over, but before the people around him could see clearly, this stupid young man's movements were stunned. After Tou Qing wailed, he took out his right hand from the coffin. Then everyone saw that Tou Qing's entire right forearm turned purple-black in such a short period of time. On the index finger of his right hand, a small piece of flesh was obviously missing, and drops of black and red blood were flowing out from the wound.
