A chill ran down my back, and I subconsciously turned to look at Su Ya next to me, but only then did I realize that there was panic on her face, as if she was afraid of something.
My heart suddenly lifted when I saw this.
Could it be that her second uncle is a very vicious person?
But Su Ya said before that her second uncle was an elegant and easy-going person. Although there were some signs of madness due to family affairs, it shouldn't be too different.
This immediately made me curious.
At this time, Zhang Xuan came to my side and said with a hint of fear on her face, "Brother Ming, I...I seem to smell a corpse stench!"
"Really?" I frowned, and my heart was in doubt.
If you really smell the stench of corpses, doesn't that mean someone died here again?
Zhang Xuan was silent for a few seconds, then slowly shook her head, "I...I'm not sure, but it does resemble corpse odor, but I can't tell if it's something else."
I nodded thoughtfully, "Okay!"
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the bamboo forest outside the door. Everyone raised their heads and stared at the situation outside.
It made me nervous too.
The sound of bamboo leaves scraping against each other was heard in my ears. After a while, a thin and tall black figure slowly walked out of the bamboo forest.
This black shadow is so tall, it looks like it's about two meters tall.
I couldn't help but feel scared. If I really encountered something dirty, I might not even have a chance to escape.
After a few minutes, the dark shadow walked out of the bamboo forest and wandered to the door of the house until it came under the light of the yard.
Only then did I see clearly that this was actually a person!
A thin man, two meters tall, with a shoehorn face. Due to weight loss, the cheek bones on his face have become very prominent.
He was wearing a dark blue wide linen coat and thick cotton trousers, but on his feet was a pair of blackened straw sandals.
The bruised skin was exposed.
In a daze, he could still see that the bruised area on his ankle was bleeding continuously.
The man bowed and walked into the room. His big eyes glanced at me and Zhang Xuan, then slowly fell on Su Ya. He shouted in a rough voice, "Niece, you are back!"
The sudden sound startled me.
Turning to look at Su Ya, she trembled visibly, looked up at the man with a pale face, and said, "Hello, second uncle!"
After saying that, she immediately lowered her head.
I was immediately very confused. There was something obviously wrong with Su Ya's state. I was very scared of the second uncle in front of me at first glance.
But logically speaking, she was brought up, so she shouldn't be so afraid.
At this time, the tall and thin man turned to look at Su Ya's old father and shouted angrily, "Hello, big brother!"
Su's father raised his head and glanced at him. Without saying a word, he lowered his head again and continued to smoke.
The appearance of this father and daughter is really weird.
When the man saw Su's father ignoring him, he didn't show any displeasure on his face. Instead, he turned to look at me and shouted, "Hello, niece and son-in-law!"
"Ah?" I was stunned on the spot, "Second uncle, I was invited by Su Ya to help solve your family problems, not her boyfriend."
The cry of 'niece-in-law' made Su Ya blush.
Father Su, on the other hand, had a meaningful expression on his face and looked back and forth between Su Ya and me.
The man grinned and said, "Don't worry, I know about you and I won't tell anyone!"
I:"......"
It is certain that the person in front of me is indeed mentally disturbed.
I don’t want to argue with him, I just want to go to bed early or find out quickly why this second uncle is crazy.
In those years, a fire-warming method called "fire pond" was popular in northern Yunnan.
Somewhat similar to Western fireplaces.
Dig a small pit in the center of the house, light a fire, hang some bacon over the fire, or boil a kettle.
When guests come to the house, most of them sit around the fire pit, warming themselves by the fire and drinking tea or wine.
And this time when I came to Su Ya's hometown, it was the same.
It seemed that because of the "niece-in-law" that my second uncle just said, I vaguely felt that Father Su's attitude toward me had softened a bit, and he took the initiative to pour me a glass of wine.
Zhang Xuan was sitting on my right side. She leaned into my ear with a hesitant look on her face and whispered, "Brother Ming, this corpse odor seems... to come from this second uncle."
I paused and smelled it carefully, but I didn't find any smell.
After thinking about it, it may be because Zhang Xuan has been dealing with Zhang Yuanhai and corpses all year round, so she can smell some subtle smells.
But what I can't figure out is why does this second uncle have corpse odor on his body?
Corpse odor is generally something that only dead people have, or people who have been dealing with dead people for many years will get a trace of it.
At this time, the second uncle suddenly saluted me with a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Niece-in-law, are you here to help me solve family problems?"
I'm still a little scared in my heart.
This second uncle is really too tall. Sitting on the small bench by the fire pit, he is a head taller than me. Especially his thin and convex cheeks, which are reflected by the firelight, look a bit weird.
But at this time, he could only bite the bullet and reply, "Yes, Su Ya asked me to come."
"Hahaha, thank you niece-in-law, but... I have some troubles at home, I'm afraid you can't solve it." The second uncle said half-jokingly.
I replied, "It's okay, just give it a try. If it doesn't work, just find someone else."
The second uncle nodded, looking thoughtful. After about ten seconds, he raised his head sharply and said, "How about... let's go to my house and I will tell you about my family's affairs."
I thought to myself, this is okay, after all, it is the same everywhere, as long as I can learn more about this second uncle.
But just when I was about to open my mouth and agree.
Father Su next to him stood up strangely, picked up the glass of wine and threw it at his second uncle, saying in a deep voice, "Get out!"
The second uncle was not angry either. When he turned to Su's father, he had a cheerful smile on his face and said, "Brother, I just want to take him to my house..."
Su's father's face became more and more gloomy, and he said coldly, "Fuck you, get out!"
As he spoke, he found a wicker stick from the side and hit it towards his second uncle.
The second uncle's pupils shrank, his face changed slightly, and the cheerful expression on his face suddenly disappeared. As if he was fleeing, he pushed me away and rushed out of the door.
After a while, the figure disappeared into the bamboo forest and disappeared.
I was stunned for a while.
Wasn't it just a matter of going to his house to talk things over? Why did Su's father suddenly become angry?
And...what does it mean to hit someone with a wicker...
You must know that wicker is specially used to fight ghosts!
Used to hit people, it will give people some ominous atmosphere.
At this time, Father Su turned to me and said, "There are few rooms at home. You and your friends sleep in the room next to the kitchen. If there is anything you can't figure out, I'll talk about it tomorrow."
