In August last year, my sister came to this lake The fourth uncle's words made me a little unable to react for a while, my sister and here, or any one in our family, have nothing to do with this town.
"However, I have never heard my sister say it" I looked at the fourth uncle incredulously, "I heard it right."
"That's right, it was August last year, isn't your sister's name Zhang Wen," the fourth uncle said.
My sister's name is Zhang Wen, and my mother said that my father wanted my sister to be a literate person, hoping that she would study hard and get rid of the hard days in the mountains, so she took the word Wen.
I nodded, "It's my sister's name, so why don't I know what she's doing here?"
"Your sister, you're here to volunteer, to put it bluntly, you don't need money to help us do farm work" The fourth uncle had a little smile on his face, but it soon disappeared again.
But I can see that he sincerely appreciates my sister.
"Xiaowen is such a good boy, he should be a sophomore now, in fact, I really thought you knew."
I shook my head blankly and said faintly, "I don't know, my sister didn't tell me and besides, she doesn't go to school now" "Ahh "My sister is sick and has been on leave for a while, and our family has moved to the city because we want to treat my sister. ” "Oh, yes."
The fourth uncle looked solemn and asked me with concern, how is my sister now, what is her illness.
But my mind was not on these issues at all, and I didn't bother to respond to the fourth uncle's concern, "Fourth uncle, can you tell me what my sister is doing in the town?"
"She."
The fourth uncle hesitated, but still told me.
"Don't look at us This is a town, in fact, it is not as good as the development of some villages, and the primary school in the town has been short of teachers, so after your sister came, she didn't let her help with any farm work, after all, the girl's family can't resist on the shoulder, and the hand can't be lifted.
So she became a teacher here, although she was only a month, but the children liked her very much, they liked it very much."
My sister came here to work as a volunteer teacher, and then she got sick and was hospitalized, and I was involved in so many messy things.
Although the troubles in the hospital seem to be my own troubles, does it really matter?
Why did I come here by chance?
Moreover, when I look at the appearance of the fourth uncle, he must know a lot, otherwise he would not have reminded Wang Yue to stay in the town for the past two days, saying that there are some uninvited guests waiting for us in the old resentment lake.
The fourth uncle at least knows what we are here for.
And he mistakenly thought that my sister asked me to come, so my sister also knew about things here "Fourth uncle, tell me the truth.
I know you're like a mirror in your heart, and you know why we're here.
What role did my sister play in this, you must know that she was sick, right?"
I was very anxious, and I was a little unscrupulous, and I spoke very toughly.
The fourth uncle was stunned for a moment after listening to my words, "Eh, you kid, what are you talking about, Uncle is an old farmer, and he can't keep up with your train of thought, what are you yelling about, don't wake up the big guy, Xiaoyue has just had surgery, and she also needs to rest well."
I can't listen to the fourth uncle's words.
"I want to know the truth, the truth about the town, the old lake of grievances, and all the stories about this house" I can't see myself, but at this moment, I should be like a red-eyed, angry lion.
The fourth uncle blinked his eyes, "Come on, come on, Qiangzi, don't worry, let's go to the cooking room and talk." ” He glanced at the kitchen, I pursed my lips, and followed the fourth uncle back to the kitchen, and he lit the kerosene lamp.
"Uncle asks you first, aren't you coming to town with Xiaoyue for tourism?"
I was stunned, where is this?
"Of course not" "Ah, I thought I'd wait a minute," he said, sitting on the edge of the adobe stove.
"At first, I thought your sister told you about being a teacher here, because our town is also a bit old, the ancient town, and it is well preserved, although it has not been developed into a tourist attraction, but it is definitely a good place, and there is a lake in the mountains.
Your sister also knows, so when my uncle heard your name and looked at your appearance, he knew that you were sisters and brothers, and thought that your sister introduced you. ” The fourth uncle paused, took out the cigarette bag pot, filled it with light tobacco leaves, lit the cigarette with a match, and continued: "But you said that it wasn't your sister who asked you to come, I thought, it must be Xiaoyue who happens to be friends with you, so I'll take you to see it, after all, her father always came before, and this is like a paradise.
But if you ask me the truth, I really don't know what you're talking about."
The fourth uncle looked very innocent, but I haven't forgotten what he said before and the expression on his face at that time.
"Uncle, then let me ask you, why did you just hear me say that I didn't know that my sister had been here, your reaction was so strong, and you said that you didn't keep your mouth open, saying that you didn't expect me to know anything."
The fourth uncle was also anxious, and slammed a puff of cigarette.
"Yes, I think since you don't know that your sister has been here, then she definitely doesn't want you to know, I said this, isn't it a leak, although I don't think she came to be a teacher, and needs to hide it from you."
The fourth uncle seemed to be very honest when he spoke, not like he was lying to me.
He smoked the cigarette pouch and pot one by one, and I stood there with my fists clenched, my heart numb.
"Then you told Wang Yue again, what do you mean by a group of uninvited guests coming to the lake?"
As soon as I asked, the fourth uncle spit out a puff of cigarette, which made me cough, and I felt that it would not be too good tobacco leaves.
"Also, you also said that the uninvited guest was aimed at me and Linzi, what do you mean by this, uncle, are you still insisting that you don't know the secrets here?"
"There's something going on in town," the fourth uncle said, his face becoming more and more ugly.
"Something you outsiders don't understand, but it's not a secret.

Didn't you just ask me if this house was haunted?"
His voice was very low, and his face full of ravines was illuminated by the dim light, like dry bark, which was a little scary.
I nodded, and my hair stood on end.
"The haunted is the Old Grievance Lake, where there is a female ghost, who has stopped for a while and recently reappeared, specifically to deal with men, so I said that you and the two male babies who came with you are in danger."
I suddenly remembered the painting of Wang Ying's father, a woman with a grumpy look in her eyes, standing in front of the window.
The window is like the window of the red wooden house on the edge of the old lake, could it be that the woman is the female ghost that the fourth uncle said "Then what is the origin of this female ghost, Fourth Uncle, can you be more careful?"
He sighed and shook his head, "Forget it, don't talk about those ghost things at night, otherwise the fourth uncle won't dare to go home." ” The fourth uncle may have been a little embarrassed because he admitted that he was timid, so he laughed.
But in fact, he doesn't smile, it's very unnatural, and his hand holding the cigarette bag and pot is obviously trembling. t1706231537:
