hell [suspense]

"Wish Che?"

Uncle nodded.

Both Qin Yan and Ye Yu thought it was strange. The last time they stayed here, Zhu Che came over, and the uncle, aunt, and family were all very enthusiastic. But today, looking at the uncle's appearance, it seems that he is very afraid of meeting Zhu Che. Moreover, he seems a little scared emotions inside.

The uncle turned his head to look in the direction of the front room again, making sure that there was no one there, and dragged the stool closer to Qin Yan and Ye Yu, so that he could hear more clearly when talking. This cautious attitude made Qin Yan and Ye Yu Yu's heart was lifted.

You have to be so mysterious and cautious about saying anything in your own home...

"You were there on the day when brother Xiaozhu passed away. Have you seen it? After the old Zhu and his wife passed away, the two brothers have always depended on each other, and their relationship is very, very good, so the death of the brother is a big blow to Xiaozhu."

The uncle sighed while speaking, Qin Yan and Ye Yu nodded together, their parents are gone, Zhu Qing is Zhu Che's only relative, it is understandable to feel sad and sad when he died suddenly.

"His brother's funeral was all helped by us. Xiao Zhu didn't say a word or eat for a few days. It's really pitiful. My family and many helpers in the village cried when they saw it, so I said comforting words. Xiao Zhu couldn't even listen to the baskets, after his brother was buried, Xiao Zhu lost a lot of weight, and even locked herself at home for more than half a month."

Ye Yu frowned slightly, it wasn't because of his villainous heart, for Zhu Qing's sudden death, he always had some doubts in his heart, and therefore, for Zhu Qing's almost self-abuse pain, he The touch is not great.

Of course, Ye Yu hoped that he was thinking too much, and it would be better if the facts were enough to slap him in the face, proving that these thoughts of his were the thoughts of a villain.

"After Xiaozhu walked around the village again, we were very happy at first. Although his brother passed away, it was very sad, but life must go on, don't you think? It's a good thing to get better."

Ye Yu and Qin Yan hurriedly nodded, saying yes again and again.

"It was okay at first, except for talking less, Xiao Zhu was not much different from before, but one day, my wife asked him to come over for dinner."

The uncle patted his face when he mentioned this place, and lowered his already low voice a few steps: "We watched the two brothers of the Zhu family grow up, and we know many habits. Xiao Zhu loves you the most." Fried fish with scallions, my wife made it specially for him that day, but guess what he said?"

Ye Yu and Qin Yan shook their heads, what can they say about eating fish?Can it explain any major issues?

"Xiao Zhu said he doesn't eat green onions, and he will get pimples after eating them." The uncle looked serious, and swallowed his saliva as he spoke, as if he was frightened.

The two were even more confused: "Is it because you are sick..."

The uncle waved his hands again and again, his voice raised a little due to excitement: "Of course not, I asked the same question at the time, but he said that he couldn't eat onions since he was a child, and he would get lumps when he ate them."

Seeing the two young men blinking their eyes and staring at him, as if the more he listened, the more confused he became, the uncle was a little embarrassed and said that he didn't get to the point for a long time: "Xiao Zhu likes to eat fried fish with green onions since he was a child, but his brother, They couldn’t eat green onions since they were young, and their parents were still alive at that time, so they went to the doctor to show them, and they said they couldn’t eat green onions, and they didn’t get cured, and his brother never ate anything with onions.”

Now both Qin Yan and Ye Yu understood: "You mean, Zhu Qing couldn't eat onions since he was a child, and Zhu Che loved to eat onions since he was a child, but now, Zhu Che says he can't eat onions, and he has the habit of his brother too. ?”

The uncle nodded wildly, relieved that the other two had a deep understanding of what he meant: "Yes, that's what it means."

Qin Yan, who has always been reticent, couldn't help but said: "Then have you asked him? Why don't you eat green onions now?"

"Wow, it's scary when you talk about this." The uncle suddenly took a breath, startling the two people who were attentively waiting to hear the uncle's continuation, "My old lady asked him, he used to like fried fish with scallions very much, what's the matter now?" Stop eating? Guess what he said?"

The two couldn't laugh or cry, the uncle always liked to ask back questions, they didn't know the reason at all, and couldn't tell why: "I don't know."

"He said that he couldn't eat onions since he was a child, and he saw a doctor, but he didn't like it."

Qin Yan and Ye Yu were stunned this time - what does this mean?It is understandable that the sudden death of the elder brother who depended on each other has dealt a huge blow to Zhu Che, but will his taste become like his elder brother?

This is too unbelievable, no matter how you think about it, it's weird.

The uncle saw that there seemed to be a little suspicion mixed with the surprise on the faces of the two people, and he was afraid that the two people would think that they were playing tricks, so he hurriedly continued: "It's not just the problem of eating green onions, Xiao Zhu has changed in several places. Little brother, we can't figure it out ourselves."

Ye Yu coughed twice, and recovered his voice from the surprise: "Can you tell me?"

"For example, Xiao Zhu didn't like fishing before, but his brother liked it very much, but now, Xiao Zhu often moves a stool to sit by the river for an afternoon, saying that he wants to fish. Give us some often."

"Xiao Zhu was in good health before. His brother was much weaker than him. Since his brother passed away, Xiao Zhu's health has not been as good as before. Ask him what's going on, and he can't say anything."

"People in the village have watched these two brothers grow up, and they know a little bit about them. Apart from the change in taste, there are many things about Xiao Zhu that are different from before."

"That's right, there's one more thing. In the past, Xiao Zhu got up very early every day. Usually, when I went to work in the fields, Xiao Zhu had already woken up. On the contrary, his brother, I don't know whether it was because he was in poor health or because he liked to sleep. I get up very late every day. It stands to reason that this is a habit of people, and it will not change easily, right? But now, Xiao Zhu sleeps until the sun is high every day before getting up. The door, but he said nothing after he got up, he just wanted to sleep and his body was fine."

Every time the uncle cites an example, Ye Yu's brows will be drawn in the middle, and after hearing it, the brows are already in a state of tightening.

They are all small daily things. It is nothing more than that Zhu Che’s daily habits are different from before. In common sense, it is not a big deal. With the increase of age and life experience, it is common for habits to change, but Ye Yu I feel that it seems unreasonable for a person to change so much in just a few months.

"My old lady and I whispered, is it because his brother passed away, and Xiao Zhu became like this after being greatly stimulated." The uncle said with a sigh, and continued the work of making things at hand, probably because of the doubts that were squeezed in his heart. The person fell clean, and the uncle relaxed a lot, not as uneasy as before.

Qin Yan didn't relax, got up from the chair, squatted next to the uncle, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, you seem a little afraid of Zhu Che, why?"

The action at hand stopped again, the uncle swallowed his throat, his eyes rolled back and forth on the faces of Qin Yan and Ye Yu, his lips trembled slightly, the two thought that the uncle would say something, but after waiting for a while, the uncle was still looking at them , muttering in his mouth, unable to hear a word clearly, he kept rubbing the corners of the rough cloth with his hands, and he was quite nervous at first glance.

Ye Yu thought for a while, and said to the uncle: "Uncle, is it not convenient for you to say something?"

"Uh, not really." The uncle still trusts the young people who stayed at his house for the second time, especially Ye Yu, who looks reassuring, "The main reason is that I don't know how to say it? Because I can't I'm sure I made a mistake that day, so..."

"It's okay uncle, just say it." Ye Yu patted his chest and assured the uncle, "We promise not to mention it to anyone else."

The uncle still hesitated, looked at Ye Yu and then at Qin Yan, Qin Yan nodded solemnly: "Definitely."

This matter has been on the uncle's mind for more than two months. He was originally a person who couldn't hide his words, but he had serious doubts about what he saw that day, so he didn't dare to tell others easily. Firstly, he misunderstood the joke, and secondly, his daughter-in-law was fast-talking. If he mentioned it to her, it was guaranteed that all the aunts and sixesses in the village would know about it within two days, and it would be embarrassing.

But for more than two months, that picture has been circling in his head, popping up from time to time, and he can't think of a reason for it, it's really hard to hold back.

Right now, Ye Yu and Qin Yan are here. They are not from the village, and they look reliable. Tell them that they should be fine, and if they hold on any longer, something will go wrong.

So, the uncle simply put away all the rattan and so on, took the tea in his hand, and began to talk about it seriously.

"that……"

Just getting started, Ye Yu suddenly interjected, "Uncle, I have a question?"

The uncle looked at him.

"You call Zhu Che 'Little Zhu', so how do you call Zhu Qing?"

The uncle blinked: "Big Zhu, they always call 'Old Zhu' when their father is around."

"..."

Qin Yan coughed lightly at the side, ignoring Ye Yu who was holding back a smile: "Uncle, don't talk to him, just tell me."

On the way to the northwest to collect the bills, for some reason, one day the two of them talked about the addressing of the two brothers Zhu Qing and Zhu Che. According to the age of the uncle, both brothers could be called "Xiao Zhu", but they kept hearing Uncles and aunts call Zhu Che "Little Zhu", so what should Zhu Qing call him?

The two had a detailed but not so friendly discussion on this issue. Ye Yu said it must be "Big Wishes", but Qin Yan didn't think it would be called that. Opportunity to come here to ask clearly.

"If you lose, treat me to a lifetime of good wine." Ye Yu slapped the table.

Qin Yan was relatively calm, looking at him: "If you lose, give me the grilled fish for a lifetime."

Ye Yu has a unique skill. Fresh fish caught from the river, after being washed and cut open, is inserted into a wooden stick, put on the fire, sprinkled with some salt, and it can be grilled to produce an extremely delicious taste. Where is it? I can't eat them all.

The two clapped their hands hard: "That's it!"

The uncle was a little puzzled, he was quite normal just now, why did he suddenly feel that the atmosphere between the two young people was a bit strange?

"Uncle, please continue."

"Oh." Cleared his throat, drank tea, and prepared for the narration, "About more than two months ago, one night, when I was about to go to bed, my old lady said that during the day, Xiao Zhu brought some food over, but she forgot to return the basket. Let me take it and return it, and I will go."

"The door of Xiaozhu's house was open, so I went in by myself. The door of the main room was not closed, and it was opened a crack. I thought it would be better to shout outside, and I took a look through the crack of the door. Guess what? What did you see?"
