Chapter 21:Rain-soaked Pit

I was awakened by my brother from this "scaring and stupid" state of mind, unconsciously, I have been standing here for a morning, and the things in the house are almost packed by my brother.

"Look at your magic, I thought you didn't sleep well and fell asleep, you didn't wake you up." Rich people laugh at me.

“Uncle is gone?”I asked.

“Oh, I’ve already left.”The rich said.

——On this side to do the final cleaning, the two of us went home, to the house, my mother has prepared a meal, the family is also ready to eat, I look at my uncle, he has been completely calm, and the morning let me feel that the two of us are very close to each other, he behaved abnormally, let the Buddha morning in the house talk is like a dream.

He did not look at me, but did not lack to observe him, he has been eating silently, when eating, my uncle smiled: "second brother, after you came back, Liu Laowu Wang Ba calirible completely scared stupid, in the morning to find someone to bring me a word, tomorrow when our father left, he is ready to come to the end."

"Don't be fools." My uncle said softly with the food.

Uncle San immediately shut up, sure enough, the most untamed uncle in the family is my uncle's words, even if they have not seen each other for more than ten years.

“Is Liu the fifth afraid of uncle?” I interjected and asked, Liu Lao Wu taboo my uncle because for so many years in our side of the stinking bad temper, temper will lose reason at the head of the same to find people desperately, even if the uncle is brave, but has not been home for more than ten years, Liu Lao Wu will be afraid?

“What is Liu 5?”  He is red because of his brothers, but his brothers, no matter how strong, see your uncle with respect and respect, not because of the generation, that is really respectful!" Third Uncle.

In this regard, I do not agree, as a child, the uncle may be a child king because of the personality problem, but Liu Lao Wu's family brothers are all characters before the accident, with you when you were a child, always hit a little ass, grew up with achievements, you think he will be because you were a child can fight all over the kindergarten invincibles afraid of you? But I didn't say much, I put everything down to Uncle Sam's blind worship of uncle.

Yes, Uncle San to Uncle, even now, or blindly worship, looking at the uncle and uncle at the dinner table, I used to feel very admired the "uncle Xiong", but in front of the uncle is like a child.

After eating, several of their brothers went to the ground, we went to the ground, went to dig a grave for my grandfather, the location of the grave in accordance with my uncle's meaning, in order to disgust with Liu Lao Wu, simply buried in that broken cemetery next to the broken grave, but in the end chose our own land.

Shihezi Village has its own ancestral cemetery, although Shi surname is a big surname, but now few people buried in the stone ancestral grave, the ancestral grave has not been able to accommodate too many graves, and now people do not have too many requirements for burying in the ancestral grave, so now many people are buried in their own land, why not buried in other people's land?Occupying the family's arable land, every year when the graves are cut in a circle, a large graveyard has become a small earthen bag, who wants to own their own land to be occupied too much by a grave?

I once saw a saying in a book that if you want to lie down in a grave without fear of death, you will feel that it is your home.

When digging the tomb, I did not have that artistic feeling, to tell the truth, grandfather's death because of the strange cause of death and some things after death, my family does not have much sadness, in the digging of the pit to think about my grandfather's life, adhere to, persistent, but did not wait for the result, in fact, he really waited for the results and what?

What if all the children were rich because of the power of the cemetery?  Is the graveyard bigger and the coffin more expensive? Or is it a yellow earth?

I suddenly want to ask my grandfather a word, so to my uncle, now do you regret it?

After the tomb was dug, the summer weather was very changeable, and the already hot day was more sweltering in the near dusk, and the sky was getting bleaker.

"Come back, it's going to rain." My father's way.

“No, brother, what if it really rains today?” Uncle Sam's face was a little bad, I looked at the sky, but also felt very depressed, why is everything so unlucky?

In our hometown, there is a saying: "rain pit, generational collapse, rain grave, generations rich."  The meaning of this sentence is that if it rains before digging the coffin of the tomb and not entering the soil, it is the rain that drenches the grave, which is to show the extraordinary misery of the descendants, and the family business is broken. If it is just raining after the burial, the rain is on the tomb, which means that the descendants will be unusually prosperous.

So my uncle felt unusually worried when it was going to rain.The first is that no one wants to come to the prophecy of the collapse of the generations, to tell the truth, my whole family is very ambiguous about these feudal superstitions, because my grandfather, because the relationship between the graves can not say no, but my whole family is really afraid of gossip, now if it really rains, the whole villagers staring at our family will immediately come out of a new version - you see, the old stone family is definitely going to lose, completely defeated, this person is doomed to rain, or not to rain.

"It's raining." My father also looked bad.We packed up things and prepared to go home, waiting for the village mouth, the rain so languished up, today we went to dig the grave to see a lot of people, this rain, the villagers talked about it, the content is the same as our guess. But fortunately, my uncle was there, and they talked about it, and my uncle stared at his bull's eye, and the crowd immediately dispersed.

As for these three uncles are not satisfied, he is the most fond of face, heard people say that three or four will go to the theory, my father quickly stopped my uncle: "third, people grow in the mouth of others, when you do not say, you can still sew it."  Let them speak, if they are not afraid to break their mouths.”

When we got to the door, the uncle touched his pocket and said, "Go back, I have something on the ground, go back and get it."

“Brother, what? I'll help you." My uncle said immediately.

"Little thing, come back, I'll be back soon." Uncle said, can not say turn back to go back, although the uncle wondered but did not say anything, waiting for the house, my father took an umbrella and came out: "Little rain is the most worried people, it is estimated that it will be a while, go to your uncle to send an umbrella."

Even if my father did not give me this umbrella, I would find an excuse to go to the other side of the tomb to find my uncle, after I knew that the second uncle found my brother, I felt that he was strange, especially after our grandfather's solitary hospital we talked, I felt that this man who had been away for thirteen years was strange, I would not believe that he turned back because of what he had fallen there, because of my habit, when I left, I checked the ground, except for some weeds.

I went out with an umbrella and went straight to the other side of the tomb, and when I was at the entrance of the village, I saw my uncle standing under a tree looking at me.

“Uncle two? Why are you standing here?” I wasn’t following him, but now I’m as embarrassed as if I’ve been found to be following someone.

"I feel like you'll come along, let's go." Uncle said, he did not say why he thought I would follow, perhaps he had said, just feeling.This is also the feeling that my uncle gave me, in addition to saying that Tao Jun felt nervous and helpless, he was a very confident and wise person, everything seems to be calculated.

Just a little rain, out of the village road, the path has been muddy, walking up very hard, uncle's performance told me that I think is right, he has nothing to fall on the ground, he is ulterior motives, we went to the other side of the tomb, the uncle said to me: "Next thing, I hope only you know me."Don't even talk about your father."

The uncle finished, went to the edge of the grave, and he stood there, motionless.Today's uncle today gives people a very strange and mysterious feeling, I also went to the grave pit to see the past, there is already water, not much.It makes people feel very uncomfortable.

“Look at what?” I asked my uncle.

“Wait a minute, wait for the rain, wait for the rain to get a little bigger.” My uncle said.

He lit a cigarette, his addiction seems to be small, we are both holding an umbrella, so wait, although I do not know what to wait, the rain will appear incredible things?

The rain is getting bigger and bigger, and the last umbrella can't hold it, down to such a state, in fact, there is no difference between umbrellas and no umbrellas.Uncle's smoke was also wet by the rain, but he still caught the smoke and silently looked at the newly dug grave.

There is also more and more water in the graveyard.

Until the rain was half dead, the uncle flew the cigarette butts in his hand and pointed to the grave: "Graphite, you see if there is anything in it."

The rain washed the ground, the water in the tomb was unusually turbid, and the uncle said that there was something in it, and I stared at it to death, trying to see what was in the turbid water.

Something seems to be rolling in there! But because the water is turquoise, it is not clear at all. At this time, the uncle suddenly took a Swiss army knife out of his pocket, pulled out the blade, gently scratched his finger, and cut his finger with the knife, and it hurts.

I saw the uncle stretched out his hand, the blood of the wound dripped in the water of the tomb, a drop of blood in the turbid water could not be rendered, almost instantly submerged, but also when the blood dripped in the water, the water began to roll violently, after the tumbling, suddenly came out of a dark green snake, spit out a long letter, the pair of soybean-like eyes, staring at the uncle's fingers, it seems to be on the drop of blood abnormally coveted!

"How can there be a snake, uncle, what is the matter?"I was surprised, I was very surprised, I was involved when the tomb was dug, I did not see the snake hole, even if there was a snake egg hatched in it just now, it can't grow so big, where did this snake come from?!
