Chapter 36: A Town Without Sunshine (6)
In fact, speaking of which, except for some hazy suns that day, Liu Weijun felt that everything was very ordinary except for his father, who had left.
When the red-eyed mother brought him the hot noodles, the inexplicable palpitations of getting up in the morning were gone, as if the days had gone back to the past, and his father would come back in ten days, and he couldn't feel what he had to bear?
The town began to slowly become lively, people who got up early to go to work, children who went to school, the smell of breakfast wafting in the air, Liu Weijun put down the bowl after eating breakfast, and went to the timber transportation office.
Last night, the place that was still filled with inexplicable terror and tension, at this time, it was a boiling and lively start scene, which made Liu Weijun trance, could it be that everything last night was a dream?
Time passed little by little, Liu Weijun wandered around the town, but found that everything was normal anymore, and even the trajectory of people's daily lives was no different, just like that, the time was at night.
Liu Weijun remembered that day, he had completely relaxed, and at the time of the incident, he was talking casually with his mother who was boiling water, comforting her, and then preparing to wash his feet.
It was such an ordinary scene, I believe that the town at that time, hundreds of families were playing out, but it was interrupted by an abrupt scream.
The scream was so terrible, inexplicably across the night sky, because of the distance, Liu Weijun hadn't heard it at that time, but the scream was like a lit fuse, spreading and detonating the bomb, the town began to be unquiet from a corner, and then it spread, and more and more noises began to appear in this originally peaceful town
"Why do I think there's a bit of a commotion out there?" Liu Weijun's so-called peace of mind is not really peace of mind, his ears are good, so he heard a faint noise.
"Hey, I didn't hear anything?" Liu Weijun's mother glanced at Liu Weijun strangely, after all, people are old, and their ears are not very good.
This was Liu Weijun's last conversation before calming down, and then their conversation was interrupted by a sharp knock on the door from the courtyard.
I don't know why, hearing this knock on the door, Liu Weijun's heart jumped several times, and his mother was also very uneasy, remembering that he was the only man in the family, and his father let himself grow up from last night and become a real man, Liu Weijun reluctantly squeezed out a comforting smile to his mother, and then went to open the door strong and calm.
From the kitchen to the courtyard gate, it was only a short road, and with a fierce knock on the door, Liu Weijun walked with weak legs, walked to the door, and almost mustered up the courage to open the door.
"Is Second Master Liu here?" As soon as he opened the door, Liu Weijun didn't see who was coming clearly, when he heard a panting and very urgent word.
Then, Liu Weijun saw clearly who the person was, it was a worker from the timber transportation office, he was from the town, so he lived in the town, but he didn't have much contact with his father, Liu Weijun was very surprised why this person would come to the door at this time, so eager to find his father.
Almost subconsciously, Liu Weijun replied: "My dad is not here, and he won't be back until ten days later." ”
When the man heard this, his face obviously showed an expression of disappointment, and then he was stunned at the door, there was a kind of panic that he didn't know how to be, looking at the expression of the person who came, Liu Weijun's mood was a little nervous, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking about his father's words yesterday, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Actually, you can"
But before he finished his words, he saw the worker say in a voice that suddenly woke up: "By the way, you can find Lin Jianguo, this person is not easy to approach, your father has a relationship with him, and you also have a relationship with him, right?" ”
"Uncle Lin is not here, I went out with my dad, and I won't be back until ten days later." Liu Weijun didn't know why he felt a little sorry, but he was too curious about what was going on, and without waiting for the worker to be disappointed, he opened his mouth and said, "What happened?" You tell me, at least"
He didn't come out at least, after all, he didn't have any ability himself, the troops seemed to have left overnight last night, Uncle Lin and his father were not there, and the whole town seemed to have lost all its support, at that moment, Liu Weijun suddenly felt that his shoulders were heavy.
"Do you remember Wei Donglai? Wei Donglai, who died in the timber dispatch, came back. The worker's tone became lost and helpless, but he still told Liu Weijun the answer, and he sighed again as he spoke, saying: "It's not a secret, many people in the town saw him just now, and many people were so frightened that he is now returning to his home." ”
Wei Donglai was originally from the town.
And Liu Weijun, who heard the news, was stunned, thinking of the heaviness of Uncle Lin and his father yesterday, and today a person who has been dead for so long has actually returned to the town?
"Isn't that shocking?" Speaking of which, Uncle Wei Jun looked at me with an unusually calm expression, or he had persisted in this town for so many years, and then remembered the past of the year, he could already face it calmly.
I was shocked, but not very shocked, after all, I had been psychologically prepared before, and in modern society, the so-called phenomenon of fake death is also endless, and the reasons in the middle cannot be explored in detail, after all, there are enough various sayings circulating among the people, as long as it does not have an impact on the real society, it is personal cause and effect, and professionals do not have to interfere, which is almost a default attitude in the circle.
It can be said that it is also this kind of default rule that restrained my shock, but this matter can't be thought about at all, the person who has been dead for so long has been resurrected, in addition to the horror of the incident itself, there must be a great secret behind it, according to the theory, the corpse should have rotted a long time ago, right?
I took a deep breath, calmed myself down, and reluctantly calmed down, "I'm a little shocked, but I'm even more curious, why did that worker come to you directly?" ”
"It's very simple, he was one of the ten workers who kept vigil that year, and he knew some inside information."
"What's next? Have you gone to see Wei Donglai? "I'm curious to know what's next.
"I saw it, that night" Uncle Wei began to tell the past again.
That night, after the worker said this, Liu Weijun was first afraid, but then the fear was overwhelmed by curiosity, after all, there were so many people in the town, and many of them were uncles and aunts who watched him grow up, and they were acquaintances, which gave him a great sense of security, and he had a strong desire to see the resurrected dead man, so strong that he had forgotten his father's advice, no matter what happened in the town, let him not ask.
"Let's go check it out. When I come back, I'll talk to Uncle Lin and Dad. Liu Weijun found a very bad reason, but the worker did not refuse, in fact, there was no need to refuse, because sooner or later he would see it.
"Mom, I'm going out, it's a very important thing, it's something my dad ordered." Liu Weijun found such a reason for his mother, and then without waiting for his mother to answer, he hurried into the night with the worker.
In a relatively closed town, the speed at which a matter could circulate was unbelievably fast, even though there was no relatively developed means of communication at that time.
When Liu Weijun and the worker rushed to Wei Donglai's house, his home was already surrounded by an unknown number of people, and many familiar faces were among them.
Wei Donglai's home is a small building facing the street, and there is no yard at all, so the layers of people are crowded, and Liu Weijun's relatively thin young body can't squeeze in at all, so I can't see whether the so-called Wei Donglai has been resurrected?
And his eyes penetrated the crowd, Liu Weijun also saw that the door of Wei Donglai's house was closed, as if he didn't want to receive these surrounding crowds at all.
However, life and death are the biggest problems of human beings, and death and resurrection are the biggest temptations for human beings, although the door of Wei Donglai's house is closed, but the crowd still refuses to disperse, and even some excited people began to knock on Wei Donglai's door, and the scene became a little uncontrollable.
Looking at this chaotic scene, Liu Weijun's heart became a little panicked inexplicably, and he intuitively felt that something was going to happen, and at this moment, the flat roof of the two-story building in Liu Weijun's house suddenly lit up, and the sudden light was a little dazzling.
Liu Weijun subconsciously looked up and saw that it was Wei Donglai's family who came up with two lamps, and at the same time placed several oil lamps on the roof, among which there was a figure, in this night, a little nervous holding a torch.
At that moment, Liu Weijun was in a trance, and he clearly saw that the figure holding the torch was Wei Donglai himself.
Is that the one who died and rose again? Except that his face is paler, there is no difference at all from his appearance before his death, his face shape and facial features, height, shortness, fat and thin are all exactly the same, this is not something that others can disguise at all, right?
It's just that I don't know why, Liu Weijun always felt that after Wei Donglai appeared, there was a strange smell in the air, not unpleasant, but unusually pungent, like entering an old house that no one had lived in for many years, yes, it was a rotten atmosphere.
"I know that everyone can't accept that I am Wei Donglai, but I Wei Donglai has been in this town for so long, and the neighbors know me a lot, and a lot of things have happened! If you want to prove whether I am Wei Donglai or not, just prove it. After Wei Dong finished saying this, the crowd quieted down for a moment.
And under the reflection of the firelight, Wei Donglai suddenly smiled, and that smile made Liu Weijun's heart cold, but Wei Donglai didn't realize it, but continued in a charming tone: "The reason why I want to prove to you that I am Wei Donglai is because I have a big secret to tell you." ”
