Christmas

It was already 3 hours after arriving at my hometown, Xia Yao carefully helped her grandma off the train, and took a deep breath, the train was really stuffy.

The sun at noon was still very poisonous, Xia Yao took out a sun hat from her bag and put it on grandma's head.

"Grandma, didn't the second uncle say he would come back to pick us up? I don't know if the second uncle is here."

"I'll look around, Erliang should have come a long time ago... Hey, Xiao Yao, at the stop sign, your second uncle is there, have you seen it...

...?

Xia Yao tiptoed to look in the direction grandma pointed, and sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man also kept looking around.

"Well, it's probably the second uncle, grandma, please slow down, I will help you pass."

Xia Yao helped her grandma to walk in the direction of the second uncle. Halfway there, the second uncle Xia Yihao also saw them and hurriedly greeted them. "Mom, you are finally here. I have been looking forward to it for a long time."

Second Uncle Xia grabbed Grandma Xia's arm, and the middle-aged man showed a hearty smile like a child. Xia Yao seemed to see his second uncle's big white teeth gleaming in the sunlight...

"Second uncle."

"Hey, Xiaoyao has grown up so much. Your cousin has been talking about you all the time. Come and have fun for a few days. There are mountains and rivers in my hometown, and you young people like it too."

Nodding his head, Xia Yao was also looking forward to it. He carefully helped grandma into Uncle Xia's van. With the air conditioner turned on in the car, he immediately felt much cooler.

"Xiao Yao has already gone to college this year. He looks really different from when he was a child. When you were a child, tsk tsk, he looked like a little chicken."

Hearing Second Uncle Xia's slightly disgusted tone, Xia Yao said that he had nothing to say, and just looked out of the window silently.On the other hand, Grandma Xia laughed unkindly.

"Haha, our Xiaoyao has grown up, so it's definitely not the same as before."

"Yeah, yeah. Huh"

The car drove steadily, accompanied by the long-lost laughter and laughter, and finally arrived at Uncle Xia's house after [-] minutes.

Uncle Xia’s home is an ordinary rural courtyard, with three brick houses and a toilet. There is a well in the center of the courtyard. The large yard is full of seasonal vegetables. The whole yard is lush green. vibrant.

Hearing the sound of a car coming in, Xia Yao's second aunt hurried out of the house.

"Mom, Xiaoyao, you are finally here, hurry up and go into the house."

Second Aunt Xia supported Grandma Xia with one hand, and turned her head to greet Xia Yao enthusiastically behind her.

"Thank you, Second Aunt."

"Hey, a family doesn't talk about two families, so what can I say to thank you?"

Carefully helping Grandma Xia to sit on the pit, Second Aunt Xia hurriedly put melon seeds and fruits on the table.

"Xiang Xing, you don't have to rush there, we are all family."

"Yes, Mom, are you tired?"

After putting down all the fruits, Second Aunt Xia rubbed her hands before sitting on the pit.

"I'm not tired, I'm still in good shape now."

"That's good, do you have anything to eat?"

"All right, you are all filial."

Grandma Xia grabbed Second Aunt Xia's hand, smiling all over her face.

"It shouldn't be, Xiaoyao, don't be too restrained, just tell aunt if you need anything."

"Well, thank you, Second Aunt. Where's my cousin, why haven't I seen him?"

"Oh, your cousin is still on the mountain, watering the fruit trees. He wanted to come back, but people are inseparable from the mountain." "It's important to get busy with serious business first."

Xia Yao nodded in understanding.

"Xiao Yao, do you want to go to the mountain to have a look?"

Uncle Xia, who had parked the car, walked in from the door and Yihao heard Xia Yao's words.

"Can I go?"

"Of course, let's go, the second uncle is going anyway, and your cousin has been talking about you for a long time."

"Well, good. Then grandma, I'm leaving."

"Well, let's go. You young people also have topics to talk about."

Uncle Xia took two straw hats from the hanger and handed them to Xia Yao.

"Be careful on your way."

Two ============== Two dividers two ==============

"Second Uncle, don't we go by car?"

"The mountain is not far from our house, and we will go there after a short walk, and the road on the mountain is narrow, so it is difficult for our car to drive up." The mountain road is indeed difficult to walk. After walking for about 20 minutes, Xia Yao has already begun to feel a little It was strenuous, but Xia Yao touched his nose in embarrassment as he looked at Second Uncle Xia who was still walking steadily.

"Xiao Yao, did you hear the voice in front? Persevere, we will be there soon."

Hearing Second Uncle Xia's words, Xia Yao finally gained some motivation, beat his sore legs, and continued to walk up the mountain with one deep foot and one shallow foot

After walking for about ten minutes, the sound of the water pump in front became louder and louder.

"Xiaohu, Xiaoting, look who is coming."

Walking out of the woods, there was an open space with a simple wooden house built in the middle. As soon as Second Uncle Xia saw the wooden house, he immediately started to shout at the top of his voice.After a while, the door of the wooden house opened, and a head poked out from inside.

"Little woman, where's your brother?"

Xia Yao looked at the gloomy girl in front of him, and frowned suspiciously. He had seen Xia Ting's photo when he was at his second uncle's house just now, with a sunny face, completely different from the gloomy girl now. A little similarity.

"Brother went to draw water."

Xia Ting glanced at Second Uncle Xia impatiently, and went straight into the room after answering, without even giving Xia Yao a look halfway through.Facing the closed wooden door, Second Uncle Xia laughed a few times in embarrassment, and his eyebrows were also a little angry.

"Hehe, Xiaoyao, don't take offense. Xiaoting doesn't know what's wrong in the past few days. It's always been like this. Maybe it's because she's a little shy to see you."

"It's okay, second uncle, maybe he's a little unfamiliar, just get along with him for a few days."

Following the steps given by Xia Yao, Second Uncle Xia smiled innocently.

"Okay, I see you're tired too, just rest here, and I'll go find your cousin."

After the figure of Second Uncle Xia disappeared into the fruit forest, Xia Yao moved his body, twisted his neck and began to observe the surroundings.He turned slowly to the other side of the house and saw a small window.Subconsciously, he looked into the room through the window, but he didn't know what he saw suddenly. A look of horror appeared on his wide-eyed face, and he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth tremblingly, and slumped limply on the ground.

As if hearing the sound, Xia Ting in the room turned her head to look at the window. Her bloodshot eyes looked at the window slowly, and a bloody shred of meat fell down the corner of her mouth.
