Seeing the cattle dealer's appearance, Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huazhong looked at each other.
Then, Yang Huazhong spoke: "Brother Xiang, since you haven't eaten, you can just have a few bites at my house. The food is cold, and I'll ask Qing'er to heat it up for you first."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Sun quickly responded, quickly packed up the dishes and went to the backyard kitchen.
"Brother Xiang, please take a seat at the small table over here." Yang Huazhong greeted.
The cattle dealer nodded, followed Yang Huazhong to the small table next to him and sat down at the small table.
Yang Ruoqing brought two bowls of hot tea, "Uncle Xiang, dad, drink tea first."
With hot tea in hand and Sun being pushed away, Yang Huazhong said to the cattle dealer: "Brother Xiang, if you have anything to do, you can talk about it now."
The cattle trader gnawed on Yang Huazhong and Yang Ruoqing and said in a trembling voice: "After I took him back this morning, I asked him how he could be here last night and why he went to sleep among those piles of graves, which made us all anxious. What do you think he said?"
"What do you say?" Yang Huazhong asked.
The cattle dealer said: "He said that when he was about to reach the entrance of Xiangjiazhuang Village last night, he suddenly found that the dry tobacco pole was missing. It might have been left at your house, so he planned to go back and get it."
"When I walked to a tree, I saw two people walking in front of me, and they were talking while walking."
"He thought it was you and Brother Luo, so he told you two to wait for him, and he even quickened his pace to chase after him."
"But you two acted as if you didn't hear him shouting. You kept walking in front, and he was chasing after you. Several times, you almost caught up with him, and almost put his hands on your shoulders. , you pulled away again, just so that he couldn't hold your shoulders."
Hearing the cattle dealer's words, Yang Ruoqing felt goosebumps rising on her skin, and she was secretly glad that she had sent away Sun.
Otherwise, Mrs. Sun would be frightened again when she heard this.
"Brother Xiang, Brother Luo and I watched Sheng Nan's father go downhill last night, and we came back. We talked along the way, but we didn't hear any movement behind us, let alone anyone calling us!" Yang Hua Zhongdao.
The cattle dealer raised his hand, "Lao San, you don't need to explain to me. I understand of course that you will definitely not be able to hear his voice, because the two people he saw were not you at all. As for what they were, I won’t make it clear for fear of scaring Girl Qing.”
The cattle dealer glanced at Yang Ruoqing who was standing aside.
Yang Ruoqing smiled at the cattle dealer, "It's okay, Uncle Xiang. I'm very brave. If you have anything to say, just say it openly. My mother is not here and she is timid. We dare not let her listen."
The cattle dealer smiled bitterly, "Don't talk about this kind of thing to your mother, Uncle Xiang. I have lived for most of my life, and this is the first time I have heard it so clearly. I am also very scared."
"Brother Xiang, drink hot tea to calm down the shock." Yang Huazhong said.
The cattle trader lowered his head and took a sip of hot tea, and continued: "He chased the two people whose backs looked like yours across the bridge and reached the other side of the river. He himself didn't know it at all. In his own words , just walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow, making me feel dizzy and unable to tell the difference between east, west, north and south."
"While walking, a village appeared in front of me. The entrance of the village was brightly lit and the gongs and drums were loud."
"There is a stage set up at the entrance of the village, and people are singing on it. The opera they are singing is the Huangmei tune from our area. In front of the stage, there are people from three floors inside and three outside. There are men, women, old and young, and they are all crowded to watch. play."
"He was squeezing around in the crowd looking for you two. Suddenly, someone tripped him with his foot. He turned around and saw a tall man, wearing a green-bottomed white floral top, black trousers, and a hand on his head. A white horse-faced woman with a bun."
"He tripped and fell and was a little annoyed, so he asked a woman why she tripped him. The woman pulled him aside and asked him if he was related to the third brother-in-law of the old Yang family in Changping Village?"
"He said yes, and then the woman said that after all, we were all related, and that she was Yang Laosan's second sister-in-law..."
"boom!"
Yang Huazhong accidentally knocked over the tea bowl in front of him with his finger.
The tea and tea leaves were spilled together and flowed all over the floor.
Yang Huazhong stood up with a pale face. Yang Ruoqing also recovered from the shock and quickly got a rag to clean it up.
While secretly feeling scared, Yang Laosan’s second sister-in-law has a pretty face and a horse-like face...
Isn't that the second mother Yang who died of the plague?
Moreover, the blue top with white flowers and black trousers were what Yang wore when she died. Yang Ruoqing knew it all too well. At that time, Yang was isolated in Yujia Village, the hardest-hit area.
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were both there to take care of the patients, and it was she who gave their second mother a final death.
She also changed into the second mother's clothes...
"Brother Xiang, my family does have a second sister-in-law who looks like this, but she has been dead for more than ten years!" Yang Huazhong took a breath and said to the cattle dealer.
The cattle dealer said: "I know about this. He died from the plague more than ten years ago. That year, many people in eight villages ten miles away died from the plague. Of course I remember such a big thing."
"But my brother was drunk at the time and didn't remember it. He even started talking to your second sister-in-law. He couldn't remember exactly what they talked about after he sobered up. Anyway, your second sister-in-law just talked to him. He praised you and your family for being kind and kind-hearted, and even mentioned the name of Qing girl, saying how good she was."
"I?"
Yang Ruoqing raised her finger and pointed at her nose, extremely shocked.
The cattle dealer nodded.
Yang Ruoqing's mood was complicated. Most of the fear she had before had receded, and she had all kinds of feelings in her chest.
It’s hard for my second mother to still remember her kindness...
"Later, your second sister-in-law told my brother that this play was not for him and told him to leave quickly."
"My brother was originally stubborn, and after drinking, he became even more stubborn. He refused to leave and said he wanted to find you two."
"When the two were in a stalemate, I heard a strange sound coming from the mountain, like the roar of a wild beast. Then I heard the theatergoers around me were in chaos. I heard someone shouting: Oh no, the tiger rider is coming! So everyone fled in all directions, and suddenly there was no shadow in front of the stage. My brother was also kicked in the butt by your second sister-in-law and told him to leave quickly! Then his eyesight went dark and he didn't know anything. "
"When he woke up again, he was awakened by my urine. When he got home and sobered up, I told him that he was sleeping in the cemetery. He broke out in a cold sweat and almost peed his pants."
"I put him to bed in the morning, but he started to have a fever before he slept for a while. He was talking nonsense. I asked a doctor from the village to come over and take a look. He said he was frightened, drank too much and was frightened, and evil spirits entered his body, so he prescribed medicine. Let’s eat first. I see that this situation is not good. Let the two male brothers Jin Nansheng take a look first. I’ll come over to see you, the third child, for a consultation. This is the first time I’ve encountered this kind of weird thing. I’m totally confused. , I don’t know what to do!”
