When I got home, I realized that nothing had changed at home, the only thing that had changed was that there were several hens in the yard. I heard that my mother was in poor health, so my eldest brother bought it specially.
I looked at my mother's emaciated body, and felt inexplicably distressed.
"Mom, don't be so busy, come and eat!"
The mother sat down at the table and nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay! Come, everyone, let's eat!"
My mother stuffed the chicken legs into my rice bowl. I took a bite, but it was bitter and sweet.
My mother looked at me, reached out and stroked my hair, "Xiaojin is still the same, it hasn't changed. Hehe, you have such a temper, you have raised wild animals in the village, followed Mr. Sun, did you study hard? Didn't cause trouble, right? "
I took a deep breath, swallowed the soreness in my stomach, and nodded silently.
"It's fine if you don't cause trouble. Don't worry about family matters. You have two older brothers! As long as you live well, Mom will be happy! Ha ha!"
Unknowingly, my tears fell into the bowl along my cheeks, and when they were in my mouth, the bitter taste made me feel more guilty. And this meal, there are too many years of longing that can't be said.
After the meal, the whole family sat around the main room, holding back the words all night, and I finally couldn't help asking, "Mom, when I came back today, I heard that something happened to the village head? Is it true?"
Mother was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "I didn't expect this to spread to the outside world? Xiao Jin, let me tell you, this matter is not what the outside world said. The village chief is very honest, how could he be with Widow Li, do, do that kind of thing! Your Aunt He is also very angry because of this incident.
Tell me, what is it all about! "
I was a little confused for a moment, "Cun Zhang Wei and Widow Li?"
The eldest brother pulled his mother and said, "Mom, what are you talking about with Xiaojin, Xiaojin just came home! Besides, we don't want to talk about other people's affairs."
"Yes, Mom! It's not clear who is right and who is wrong in this matter! Besides, people are dead, and these are all disrespectful to the dead. It's just a pity that Village Chief Wei has been innocent all his life, and it's really not worth it to end up like this. "
The more I listened, the more confused I became, "Mom, what's going on? Tell me! I haven't been home for several years. If I see Aunt He and ask Village Chief Wei, it would be bad. .”
My mother thought about it, so she told me.
This night, my mother and I talked in detail about some things that happened in Jiangwu Village in the past few years when I left.
The changes in the village are secondary, and the one that surprised me the most is the matter of Village Chief Wei and Widow Li.
When Village Chief Wei's father was still alive, he was the village chief of Jiangwu Village. Because he helped the Eighth Route Army, the villagers loved and respected him very much. Later, the old village chief passed away, and everyone elected the old village chief's son, Wei Changshui, who is now the current village chief Wei, to be the village chief of Jiangwu Village.
So village head Wei took over the position of village head at a young age.
Village head Wei is very pragmatic, and he takes the villagers to work together. Even during the famine, every family has no food to eat, so the village head distributed the only bag of potatoes in the family to the big guys. Emotionally speaking, everyone respected Village Chief Wei.
Village Chief Wei and Aunt He have not blushed or quarreled for so many years of marriage. They just quarrel and quarrel occasionally. They are a loving couple that everyone in the village envies. It goes without saying that the relationship between husband and wife is good.
As for Widow Lee, I don't know her well. Mother said that this woman came to the village only three years ago. Because she had no relatives and it was a year of famine, Village Chief Wei saw her as pitiful, so he asked her to stay in the village's production team to work to earn work points so that she would not go hungry.
Unexpectedly, half a year ago, Village Chief Wei and Widow Li were found naked, naked and embracing each other on the ground where Qian Manguan's ancestral grave used to be.
Aunt He fainted from anger when she heard about this incident, and saved her life by dragging down the county hospital.
As for the cause of death of Village Chief Wei and Widow Li, there is still no explanation.
I don't know who reported this matter, and the higher authorities immediately sent a forensic doctor to conduct an autopsy to cooperate with the investigation. It would be fine if something could be found out, at least the matter could be settled early. But this matter has never been settled. Village head Wei and Widow Li were also buried in a wasteland behind the forest farm in the village because of their lack of virtue.
After this incident, many strange things happened one after another.
Qian Manguan's family is all in the town. Many people were injured by the construction of the grave, and the whole family went bankrupt. But the Qian family never returned to Jiangwu Village.
The ancestral grave of the Qian family moved out, and the open space was very secret. Everyone said that it was the place where the village chief Wei and Widow Li often hooked up and did dirty things there, which made the ancestors of the Qian family unhappy. That's why I got this fate.
Several village youths who followed to help carry Village Chief Wei and Widow Li were sick for a while when they came back.
"Sick? Is there anything strange?" I asked.
The mother thought for a while and then said, "Later, Widow Li's daughter also died. Widow Li's daughter was not in good health. The girl of twelve or thirteen years old was not as tall as a six or seven-year-old child. Taking medicine to recuperate, most of Widow Li's earned work points have been bought medicine. Everyone didn't pay much attention to it. The child's complexion was originally bad. Maybe it was because he knew about Widow Li and Village Chief Wei that he had accumulated resentment.
Oh, by the way, something happened in the village last week, and several old people in the village passed away one after another. When the forensic doctor Chen went to do the autopsy, he didn't say anything, but said that the corpse would be isolated and burned, the old man's quilt and clothes would be burned, and all used things would be scalded with boiling water.
When I asked him why, he faltered and said how many people died, and he was afraid that it would be bad if the disease was infected. Actually, I wondered if it might be the plague. Everyone in the village was afraid of this, so every household closed their doors early. "
"That forensic doctor Chen hasn't left yet?"
"No! I can't figure out what happened to Village Chief Wei. Forensic doctor Chen is not easy to deal with, so he stays in the village and lives in Village Chief Wei's house."
After listening, I nodded, but the doubts in my heart were not resolved, but more and more.
Master didn't say anything, just told me to come back and wait for him, but when
I was really worried, so I decided to go to the Qian family's cemetery early tomorrow morning to have a look.
At night, I slept in my own bed, my mother was already sound asleep, but I couldn't fall asleep with my eyes open.
Thinking over and over again what my mother said, and what others said before I went home.
Village head Wei is an honest man, how could he make such a principled mistake
Who is Widow Li, and no one knows her origin. What was the reason for the death of her and Village Chief Wei? Mother didn't mention any female ghosts taking her life, but people outside rumored that Jiangwu Village was haunted by ghosts.
It stands to reason that Widow Li and Village Chief Wei are secretly colluding, and this is what people talk about after dinner, but people outside are talking about hauntings, and my mother will never hide anything from me, but she never mentions hauntings. .
My heart is inexplicably a little unclear, is it a rumor that is spreading rumors
Maybe I should go see Erpang tomorrow and hear what Erpang's father told him.
I couldn't sleep well that night, and when I closed my eyes, I thought of these things, and after a while, I thought of Su Muyan again. After tossing and tossing over and over again, it was almost four o'clock before I squinted for a while.
At dawn, I get up and take a shower.
When I opened the door, Lao Bashi happened to pass by my house with his little black dog in his arms. I yelled, "Uncle Huang!" The little black dog in his arms raised its head and wagged its tail at me.
I went up and touched the little black dog's head, unexpectedly after so many years, the little black dog still remembered me.
Old Ba Shi's hair was already gray, and he looked at me for a long time before he asked uncertainly, "Are you the third son of the dealer, Xiao Jin?"
I nodded, "Yes, Uncle Huang! Long time no see!"
"Hey, when did you come back, girl? It's really been a long time. I heard that you went to the city with that distant relative of yours, that Mr. Sun. Oh, it's been a long time since you've been away for so many years. Big girl!"
I smiled, "Yeah, I'm homesick, so I'll go home and have a look!"
Old Ba Shi also nodded with a smile, "This silver kennel is always inferior to our own kennel. Outside, no matter how nice it is, it's still not as friendly and down-to-earth as home!"
"Hehe, Uncle Huang, you are right. Hey, where are you going?"
"I'll go to the front field to have a look, and by the way, bring Xiao Hei to bask in the sun."
I looked at Xiao Hei, who was obviously old. Although he wagged his tail, he didn't raise his head. He just rested lazily on Old Bashi's arm.
"Xiao Hei has been raised for a long time!"
"Hey, it's been more than ten years, and I haven't starved to death in this famine year, hehe! It's time to die. I can't walk anymore, and my nose doesn't work. Maybe I will leave someday."
"It's lucky that Xiao Hei follows you."
Old Bashi said a few more words to me and left. At this moment, I realized that Jiangwu Village is still Jiangwu Village. People in the village are all up and going out. When they see me, they will always pull me to say a few words of concern. It was completely different from the situation when I entered the village yesterday evening.
I stood under the tree and felt everything familiar here. I thought this should be everything I was familiar with, but my heart always had an inexplicable sense of alienation.
I went to Erpang's house, and Erpang also got up early. Erpang's stepmother is an honest and responsible woman, she smiled honestly when she saw me, and married Erpang's father with her two children. The two children are also earning work points in the production team, and now this point is no longer at home. This will make him follow the second fat daddy to the production team.
Erpang and I sat on the big rock on the ridge of the field. Sure enough, Erpang's father and my mother said roughly the same thing, and neither mentioned the haunting.
Er Fatty involuntarily lit a cigarette, I don't have the heart to bother him right now, I just let him smoke and puff.
"Hey, Xiaojin, what do you think is spreading around here! Isn't our village doing well? If you let me know who is talking nonsense, I'll have to pull out his teeth!"
I giggled, "Just don't get skinned by others!"
Seeing that I didn't believe it, Er Fatty couldn't get angry, so he wanted to play a set of monkey punches for me right away.
Seeing him like that, I quickly found an excuse and left.
Since what Erpang's father and mother said is the same, then my mother must not have lied to me. I plan to go to the Qian family ancestral grave to take a look first. With my current ability, if there is such a thing, I can see it at a glance.
But for this matter, I never thought about bringing Er Pang with me. I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case. If there is really something unclean, bringing Er Pang will be a burden.
I still don't have the ability like Master, not only to protect myself but also to protect others comprehensively. I asked myself, without knowing the situation clearly, I am not fully sure that I can protect Er Pang's safety.
The author has something to say: Every month, there are always those days when life is worse than death. After lying down for two days, ah, I found that the holiday balance is insufficient!
Not surprised at all, but I was. Who am I, where am I, what am I doing this vacation
