Chapter Twenty-Three: I Have to Die


"Gale Township has arrived."

When Uncle Luo said this, I was still in a trance.But he's not the kind of person who is willing to explain, so whether I have any doubts or not, he just walks on his own.Walk into a deserted field, surrounded by lush weeds, waist-high.Uncle Luo said to rest here first, and then leave after dark.I asked why, and he didn't answer me.After dark, Uncle Luo led the way in front and led me to a tiled house.He looked left and right to make sure no one was staring before he stepped forward and knocked on the door.A voice came from inside, asking who Uncle Luo said, "I'm the third uncle." ”Immediately there was the sound of tables, chairs and benches being removed, and then the door opened, and there were three men, like grandparents and grandchildren.When the eldest old man saw Uncle Luo, he burst into tears with excitement and his breathing accelerated."

Let's go in first."

Uncle Luo was also very excited, but there was still no smile on his face.The old man nodded hurriedly, and then invited Uncle Luo and me in.When they entered, they closed the door, and the old man told his granddaughter-in-law to keep an eye on the outside, and to say if anyone approached.I looked at it from the side and was very puzzled, why does this seem to be unsightly, Uncle Luo calls the old man the fourth Luo, and I call him the fourth master.The other men are indeed the sons and grandsons of the fourth master."

Third uncle, are you here to take us out" The fourth master was very excited.Uncle Luo still looked cold, and ordered: "Fourth, go and call your son and grandson, I have something to say." ”The fourth master nodded hurriedly and instructed his son and grandson to hurry up and inform the others.Soon, the other son of the fourth master and another grandson came.After those people saw Uncle Luo, they all asked the same question, did you come to us to go out Uncle Luo didn't seem to hear their question, just glanced at everyone, and then said to the fourth master: "Fourth, this child's name is Dongfang, and he will stay in Dafeng Township for a while, and I want to hand him over to you to take care of." ”The fourth master immediately became anxious and said, "Third uncle, in this way, you come in this time, you don't plan to take us out" Uncle Luo said: "Fourth, I don't need to take you out."

Because, this child, he can restore Gale Township to its former state, and nothing will happen again. ”As soon as these words came out, Luo Laosi's family stared at me, their eyes full of curiosity, surprise, and doubt.I was seen by them as very unnatural, and at the same time I wondered in my heart, why did Uncle Luo say that I could save Gale Township, I was just told that I was going to come to Gale Township.Uncle Luo continued: "I have to leave tomorrow.This child will be left to your care. ”"Third uncle, I know you never lie.Since you've said so, I won't ask any more questions.But my nephew has something to ask you for. ”Luo Laosi looked at the woman who helped us look outside, she was a pregnant woman with a big belly."

Third uncle, our family is just a little bit of blood.I beg you, take my granddaughter-in-law out, what's the matter" Uncle Luo got up and said, "Fourth, you come with me." ”After speaking, Uncle Luo got up and went to another room, and the fourth master followed, and closed the door.After a while, they came back, and the fourth master's face was full of excitement, and he rushed over to hold my hand, and said that it is really a bodhisattva in the world, thank you, young man, I was confused, I don't know what he is talking about.I hurriedly looked at Uncle Luo, who still had his usual cold expression and didn't say anything to me.When it was time to go to bed at night, I shared a bed with Uncle Luo, and I asked him what he told the fourth master, and he said: "I told Luo Laosi that you were sent by the masters, and you can save their family and the entire Dafeng Township." ”I was in a hurry, what kind of master sent me, I will not do anything except deliver the baby, Uncle Luo ignored me, just said, "I have to go back tomorrow." ”"What about me," I asked with a sweat on my head."

You have to stay here and help Luo Laosi and his granddaughter-in-law give birth to the child.""

I came to Gale Township just for this thing, I don't feel normal in this place, I want to go out with you tomorrow."

I was in a hurry.Uncle Luo didn't look at me either, and continued, "I'm only responsible for bringing you in. ”"No, I can't.I don't know anything other than how to deliver babies.If something happens, no one will help me, no one will tell me what to do, you can't go. ”When I thought that Uncle Luo was gone, I felt very uncertain."

I have to go," Uncle Luo's tone hardened.I hurriedly asked: "Why" Uncle Luo suddenly turned his head, glared at me with his right eye, his face became a little fierce, and said: "Because, I have to die" Hearing this, I was startled, and I couldn't help but think of the agreement between Uncle Luo and that woman.Originally, I wanted to persuade it, but Uncle Luo's next words made me feel very incomprehensible: "I can finally die." ”When he said this, he felt as if he had been liberated, without the slightest fear of death.I really can't figure it out, I can see why he wants to die so much, and it's impossible to let Uncle Luo take me out.Moreover, this is a place where I have to stay, no matter what happens.So, I was relieved and didn't force it anymore.I said, "Uncle Luo, since you have already decided, then I won't stop you."

But before that, can you tell me something" Uncle Luo didn't speak, he took my hand and put it on his left chest.I didn't understand what he meant at first, but after a few seconds, I was shocked that he didn't have a heartbeat, and I hurriedly touched his carotid artery again, and it still didn't beat."

In that garden of the old house, there is a mound of soil, you should see it," Uncle Luo said in a calm tone.I nodded."

I used to live there.""

What" I was taken aback.My mind flashed through the mound, and I thought something was crawling out of it, so I suspected it was the woman's grave.But I didn't expect that it was Uncle Luo's grave."

I'm here to bring you in.Now that I've done my job, I'm going back to die.Also, I have renovated the place and it is very comfortable. ”Uncle Luo let out a long sigh, his breathing was steady, and he was very peaceful.He fell silent and stopped talking.When it was dawn the next day, Uncle Luo went back alone.The fourth master didn't keep it, as if he knew what Uncle Luo was doing when he went back.After nine o'clock, everyone in the village came and asked Uncle Luo if he had come.The fourth old man pretended to be stupid and said where did you hear about it, take me to the third uncle.Those people, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't seem to be able to pay attention.Then, they all focused their eyes on a middle-aged woman, and asked her if she had seen the woman clearly last night, saying that she did see Uncle Luo coming to the fourth master's house last night, and there was a young man with him.The fourth old man panicked, and said What time is this, why don't I know, and then, he also asked his son and grandson if they saw Uncle Luo, of course they said no.The gang didn't believe it, and said they had to look for it.The fourth old man was in a hurry, and said What are you doing here, why do you search our house indiscriminately with a woman's nonsense, and the people in the village are in a hurry, and they all regard Uncle Luo as the last straw for their lives, so they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go.They pushed the fourth master away, and more than a dozen people rushed into the fourth master's house and began to search indiscriminately.After looking for a long time, they didn't find it, and they came out very unhappily.The fourth master is very angry, saying that you can just listen to the words of a stinky woman, and come to frame us.His son and grandson also picked up their poles as if they were going to fight.The eyes of the people were focused on the woman, their eyes full of resentment and anger.A man even slapped the woman and scolded: "Stinky woman, tell you to talk nonsense, don't you apologize to the fourth master quickly" The woman was frightened and came up to apologize to the fourth master.Many people also began to apologize to the fourth master, saying that they shouldn't believe a woman's words.The fourth master was very angry and ignored them.A large group of people left with a lot of guilt, and before leaving, they apologized to the fourth master and their family, and left directly without a conscience, as if it was a matter of course.Seeing them leave, I also understood why Uncle Luo didn't enter the village during the day yesterday.After everyone was gone, the fourth master asked me to come out of the pyre.That's right, I hid in the place where the dry firewood was piled up next to the gate of the fourth master's house, and no one searched here, which is called darkness under the lamp.They took me into the house, and then I saw that there was a mess in the house.The fourth master didn't care too much, but asked his son and grandson to help clean up.After two hours of packing up, we finally got everything back in its place.The men of their family sat around me, looking at me with excitement in their eyes, as if they really regarded me as a savior, which made me feel very stressed.Without waiting for them to speak first, I looked at Luo Lao Si and said, "I'll call you Fourth Master."

That, let me say it first, I'm not a Taoist, I don't know how to catch demons and collect ghosts, the only thing I know is to deliver children. ”The fourth old man smiled and said that he knew everything."

You're not angry," I wondered."

I believe in the third uncle's vision."

The fourth master nodded.I frowned and asked, "Why do you believe in Uncle Luo so much?"

The fourth master said: "Because, in the entire Gale Township, only the third uncle can go out."

Moreover, there are a lot of third uncles, and they are the highest in our village. ”"But he's not alive," I blurted out.As soon as these words came out, the fourth master didn't care, but his son and grandson's faces changed greatly.The fourth master's next words, but I couldn't help but surprise the third uncle, he has been dead for more than ten years, "what" I shouted out with the fourth master's son and grandchildren
