C3 (1/2)
Second Uncle's situation scared us all. After hearing it again, Second Uncle still couldn't say anything. As long as we could make a sound, it would be like a pig feeding on its food.
Second Aunt was so scared that she almost couldn't speak, and when she saw us coming, she could only cry, unable to come up with a solution.
After typing, I thought of a way. I immediately took out my phone, opened a message, and handed it over to the Second Uncle for him to type.
There was a problem with the pork, this was Second Uncle's first sentence.
My father and I looked at each other. We also thought that was the problem, because neither of us had eaten that piece of pork. Only the Second Uncle had eaten it, so this was the first thing we thought of.
”Save me!” Following that, Second Uncle typed two more words, he was also extremely anxious, at least he had calmed down a little now that he has us here.
My father and I had been comforting Second Uncle and told him that we would definitely save him. We comforted him for a long time before he finally quietened down.
Then my father took me to a place where there was no one, and told me it wasn't that simple. Let me see if anyone else had had any problems with the pork, and he had to find someone to deal with it.
I looked at the time. It was six o'clock in the morning, and most of the villagers were up early, so I ran to the families who had brought the pork yesterday. I remember that there were four families who took the meat yesterday, and they were easy to remember, because they were the poorest people in our village.
I was almost sure that the problem did not lie with the pork side, if not why would they be fine. There was still the fourth house, I did not want to run anymore, but when I thought about the situation in Second Uncle, I raised my foot again.
The fourth family was at the other end of the village, the furthest, and they all had to pass through the entire village, but halfway through, I stopped. Because I passed Old Lady Wang's house, and because Old Lady Wang asked my grandfather to kill the pig demon that was about to mature, there were some things that happened later on. However, my father and the Second Uncle didn't say anything about Old Lady Wang, and it seemed like they didn't even see her at her grandfather's funeral.
Old Lady Wang's yard is very small and smelly, one third of it is a pig's nest and it has already collapsed. I just looked at the nest and saw Old Lady Wang carrying a bucket out.
None of our pig-eating children are unfamiliar with this place. We just boil the duckweed in the pond, then add some leftovers and some rice bran. I often do these things when I'm still young, but Old Lady Wang's pig nest has all collapsed, so where did the pig come from for her to feed?
Before I could think of this question, Old Mrs. Wang had already asked me what I was here for.
I told her that I had only come to take a look, and then asked her how the old sow was doing.
However, I didn't expect those words to infuriate her and she actually started swearing at me. She even wanted to raise the spoon that was used to feed the pigs to hit me. Luckily, I ran away quickly.
Old Lady Wang's temper was something I didn't expect, so I didn't care too much about it. I went to the fourth house to take a look and after confirming that they were all right, I ran back home.
When I returned home, Second Aunt was feeding porridge to Second Uncle. It seems that Second Uncle had calmed down already.
”Dad, I went to take a look. Those four families were fine yesterday, so it doesn't look like it's a matter of pork …” I said to my dad.
My father frowned and said he knew. He had already contacted Master and sent him to Second Uncle after dinner.
”Oh, I'll go take a look when the time comes. Oh yeah, I just went to see old lady Wang. She's so fierce. I was just casually asking and she wanted to hit me with a pig feed spoon.”
But just as I finished speaking, I felt something was wrong with the atmosphere. The moment I raised my head, my parents and second aunt of Second Uncle looked at me with frightened eyes.
”Pa Da”, my mom's hands went soft and the chopsticks fell onto the table. She grabbed my hand and started to cry. She kept crying to my dad about moving house. I couldn't live here anymore, so I was confused about what was going on.
”Yangzi, did you really see Old Lady Wang just now?” My father said to me in a very harsh tone.
I nodded and told them it was.
But with that, my mother cried even harder.
