Mao Xiaoli and I went to the home of the office director. An old lady opened the door. I asked for the director. They thought we were from the school and let us in. The director was lying on a chair and seemed unable to move. He looked at us in shock.
"We have something to ask you, something that was confirmed by those four students back then."
As soon as I finished speaking, he started screaming and waving his hands.
"Alas, it's always like this, I don't know what's wrong?"
"When did it start?"
"It's been so many years, and I was just promoted to vice-president, and this is it. I'm not destined to have that!"
I knew it was something strange, it was that man's revenge, it was really interesting.
This is the only way things can go on at this age. It seems we have to go back to school.
When I returned to school, I asked Mao Xiaoli what to do
"There is only one solution, which is to have the school hold a meeting, bring up what happened that year, and then clear the teacher's name and explain the true situation."
"But the director has gone crazy and it's impossible for him to tell the truth about what happened back then."
"Then we need to find the four students who provided the proof. If we can't find them, they will be in trouble. This math teacher is kind-hearted. He didn't do anything out of his own will. He just wanted the school to clear its name."
"What if not?"
"In addition to these four students who may have accidents, there are also the four students who issued false certificates back then."
"He should go after those four students, not these four."
"He is running away from the ashes. Only here, in this dormitory, will there be that kind of thing that makes him do these things. Of course, after a few years, he can go and seek revenge on those four students. Now he just wants to be innocent, and then he will be scattered. He doesn't want anything else."
It turned out to be like this, which surprised me.
We told the principal, and he looked at us for a long time before speaking.
"I don't want to talk about this matter. Of course, it didn't happen when I was on duty."
"But now you have four missing students. If you don't do anything and fail to find the students, I think your tenure as principal is over."
The principal broke into a sweat, thought for a long time, and called the director.
"Find the four certificates from that year, and then find these four people and bring them to school."
"I'm afraid this will be troublesome."
"It's troublesome to find it."
It would be difficult for us to go back and wait for them to disappear and find the four students. Moreover, they had issued false certificates that year, so when they heard that the school was looking for them, they would probably be scared and hide.
I didn't expect that they were found so quickly. Three days later, all four people were found in the principal's office. I called Mao Xiaoli and we went over there.
The four students all looked unhappy. I sat there and looked at them for a long time before asking.
"Is the confirmation from that year true?"
They all lowered their heads and said nothing.
I think it should be true. What does it mean that they are here
I didn't say anything, just waited, and one of them took a long time to speak.
"That was proven to be false. After our math teacher died, we regretted it, but we dared not say it. We took the opportunity to go to a key university, but we didn't expect that he would die. Really, we regretted it all these years, and our life has not been easy..."
The four women cried. They were already women, and even after so many years, they still hadn’t let it go. It was estimated that no one could let go of such a heavy thing.
"We need a confirmation now. We will hold a meeting and ask you to tell us the truth about what happened back then, because you should also know what happened."
“But we are afraid.”
"Of course, you don't have to say it, but have you noticed that you are very tired and unhappy, and everything is not going well for you?"
They hesitated for a long time and then agreed.
"Principal, you are going to hold a general meeting tomorrow for the whole school. I think you should come out and speak on this matter and give that teacher justice."
“I can do that.”
That day, Mao Xiaoli and I went to the teacher's house. When his wife heard about it, she shook her head and said she would never go to school. She just believed it was true. His daughters also disagreed to go to school. They thought it was true. After we told them the truth, they were stunned for a long time and then burst into tears.
That day, they went to school, and the four of them gave the math teacher justice and innocence. The math teacher's wife slapped each of the four people in the face.
That night, the four female students came back and went to class in the morning. Everyone was surprised. It all happened just like that. I didn't expect things to turn out like this.
The way the ash ran away was a bit strange. I took the four necklaces away and gave them to He Dana. He likes this kind of things.
When I went to work again, there was a pot of dead flower on my desk. Everyone knows that I hate this kind of flower, but someone actually put it in my office.
I was sitting there lighting a cigarette, feeling angry, when a woman in her thirties came in.
"Hello, Director Ke, I'm from the bureau, Director here, do you like this flower?"
I was stunned for a moment. The director sent someone to be the director without notifying me in advance, which made me a little angry.
"I don't like this dead flower. Take it away."
The director was stunned. She took the flowers away and said when she reached the door.
"My last name is Hou, Hou Li."
I didn't say anything and watched the woman walk out. I couldn't see anything wrong with this woman, but I didn't like this flower. She came up and did something I didn't like.
The flowers are indeed well maintained.
I called the bureau and asked about this, and the director said.
"You didn't say hello to me. It's my fault. I forgot about it when I was busy. Don't blame me."
I said a few polite words. It's normal for the bureau to send someone. It's the same whether they say hello or not. Even if they say hello, they are just telling you. Don't you know who is older and who is younger
Hou Li, a typist in the bureau, became the director here, which is normal.
Hou Li came half an hour later.
"Director, I want to report on my work."
I looked at her and nodded, and I had a lot of new ideas.
“If you think it’s feasible, do it!”
The people from the bureau all came with swords, and I dare not mess with them.
She said as she left.
"I want to transfer Li Xiaohuan to my office."
I what does she mean tomorrow.
"Forget it, she hasn't learned how to put on makeup yet, let's talk about it after she's done."
I know that Hou Li is trying to get closer to me because she wants to do her job well, but I don’t like women like that.
Dana He called me and asked me to come over. I went there after get off work and Mike was there.
I frowned, it seems I still have to go to the Bone Village.
However, there was no mention of the Bone Village. He Dana actually asked me to help Mike with something. His uncle died in China and his bones were thrown into a lake. How did they end up in a lake? This was really strange.
"There's nothing we can do about it. We can just find someone to salvage it ourselves."
"It was salvaged, but there were bones of several people in there, and it was hard to tell them apart."
It is normal to have dead bones in an old lake. Some people jumped into the lake and their bodies could not be found. This is natural.
The old lake is a hundred years old. It is located in the center of the city, the center of the park. Every year people jump into the lake. It is a very strange thing. Several people die every year. It is never over. No matter what we do, people will die.
If that's the case, then the bones are hard to separate, but Uncle Mike is a foreigner with a large skeleton, so it's easy to find them, but small bones are not so easy to find.
He Dana asked me to accompany Mike, so I went with him. There was a pile of bones piled up by the lake. Many people were watching the fun. I watched for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on.
"How tall is your uncle?"
"One meter sixty-five."
When I heard that, I thought, your grandfather, why didn’t you tell me earlier? You are tall and strong, and your uncle has the same style.
"American?"
"Yes!"
I have no other choice but to go back and tell Dana Ho, said Mike.
"You Chinese have a saying about blood test to prove your relationship, does it work?"
He knows a lot, but it's useless. I looked at He Dana, who was a little unhappy, and he spoke after a long time.
"You have been a refiner and a makeup artist. Don't you know how to find bones? Didn't your master teach you?"
"No, my master Yinyan didn't teach me, so I just started dating."
I was angry with He Dana. Actually, I didn't want to get involved in this matter. After it was dealt with, Mike would definitely ask me to take him to the Bone Village. I didn't want to go on like this, step by step. Nothing good would come of it.
When I was about to leave, He Dana smashed the cup. He has quite a bad temper. He is over a hundred years old, but still behaves like this.
"What do you want?"
"Do it for me right away. Your father is not like that. What's wrong with you?"
I didn't get angry when he mentioned my father, because I knew my father respected He Dana.
"Don't be angry, old man. I'll be there right away."
Mike followed me back to the lake. There were more than a hundred bones in the pile. How many of them were Mike's father's? I looked at them. Actually, there was really no other way. I used the old method. I asked Mike to bleed some blood and then put it on each bone. The one that was stained was his uncle. Actually, this method was bullshit. There was no one who was not stained. I said all of them were, and Mike got angry and wanted to fight me. I ran away. I couldn't beat him because he was tall and strong.
When I got home, Liu Yang had just arrived home too.
"By the way, a friend of mine came to me and told me that his father had died and was sent to your crematorium today. Please take care of him."
I know that care means spending less money and keeping the stove cleaner. Nowadays, stoves are all automatic and always clean.
"Please put on some makeup!"
I didn't expect to ask this.
"Li Xiaohuan can do ordinary makeup."
"It's not ordinary makeup. Anyway, my friend said it's quite troublesome. It costs 5,000 yuan."
This is a lot of money, how could this happen
"What's going on?"
"I don't know. I wasn't told. You'll know when you see it."
I knew it wouldn't be a good thing.
The next day at work, I looked up the name of that man's father and placed it in the Baishou Hall, so I took Li Xiaohuan there.
"Today I'll be wearing makeup, probably heavy makeup."
I walked into the hall, opened the lid of the freezer, hesitated for a moment, reached out to pull the shroud, Li Xiaohuan screamed, and then ran out.
The corpse really surprised me. The two faces were staggered. What kind of situation was this? I had never encountered this before. I shivered, covered the shroud and came out. Li Xiaohuan's face turned pale and he stood there without shivering.
"It's okay, come out with me."
Li Xiaohuan got in the car and I drove to He Dana's place. I saw Mike carrying a bag of bones and entering He Dana's house. I hesitated for a moment and got out of the car.
He must be a bag of bones, you can tell.
I went in and saw Mike dumping the bones in the yard. Dana Ho was sitting there smoking and looking at the bones. I went in and Mike was staring at me and Dana Ho was also staring at me.
After I sat down, He Dana said.
“This is all.”
Mike was stunned, and He Dana had a sullen look on his face.
I put the food and wine on the table, and his face looked better.
"Are you going to transport it back to your country, or are you going to bury it here?"
"He liked China, so let's bury him here? Can we still burn this?"
He Dana looked at me and said.
"No need to burn it, Xiaozhe. Make a half coffin tomorrow and find a place to bury it."
When I asked about Fu Lian's recovery, He Dana almost choked and spit out the wine.
I didn't expect that he would react so strongly. Perhaps this complex face is also very troublesome. (To be continued)
