Chapter Thirty-Six: Charcoal in the Snow
I smiled wryly and patted her on the shoulder, glanced at the door of the ward again, sighed, turned around lonely, and walked towards the busy hospital door.
Sometimes let go, not because you don't love, but because you're helpless!
When you meet the person you want to take care of the most at an age when you have nothing, this may be God's arrangement, the greatest irony......
When I returned to the company, I didn't see Shi Peng.
I can't care so much, turn on the computer, and enter the phone number of the seller who lost contact with the house in 1802 into the computer, trying to find a clue.
On Baidu, I searched for a Sina blog with that phone number, entered the blog's homepage, and my mood was instantly infected by that weird atmosphere.
This is like a memorial Weibo, black on a white background, full of the breath of death, and the blog post was interrupted a year ago, and the content of the blogger's last Weibo was forwarded an article about the strange grave in Nanshan.
I clicked on the article and told a story that was not strange or weird:
It was more than eight years ago, there was a local man surnamed Kang who died of an old man, and the old man knew that his limit was approaching before he died, and he buried him in a place called Nanshan Jiulongkou when he called his children.
The old man had eight sons, and three days before he died, he suddenly took in another godson, making up nine, and then the old man died suddenly, and the sons buried him in Jiulongkou according to the old man's designation, and when digging the coffin pit, they dug up a pair of cranes.
After the crane circled over the cemetery three times, Pian Piao flew away, and the Kang family hurriedly buried the old man, and since then the tomb has grown at a crazy rate, and suddenly for more than ten years, the tomb has grown into a hill, about nine or eight years like this, the old man's righteous son gave birth to a daughter.
On the night of the birth of the daughter, the sky thundered and lightning flew, but the light thunder did not rain, and the whole western Sichuan was illuminated red, and this anomaly lasted for a whole night.
At dawn the next day, the pouring rain poured down, this rare heavy rain is rare in a century, directly triggered flash floods and mudslides, a few days of natural disasters, resulting in the Yangtze River floods, but also let all parts of western Sichuan suffer from flash floods and mudslides, including the tomb that can grow on its own, were covered by the mudslide, and finally only a few handfuls of wild grass on the top of the tomb can be distinguished.
For a while, rumors went crazy and spread throughout western Sichuan: some said that this tomb was buried in Jiulongkou, buried in the dragon vein, and the Kang family would produce nobles...... There are also said that this is an anti-tomb, after the burial of natural disasters and man-made disasters, according to this, the west of Sichuan will be destroyed, and China will be injured...... After three months of rumors, a geological team came.
Under the leadership of Kang Jiayizi, they found the strange grave in Jiulongkou, and in full view of everyone, they used three steel pipes to insert into the strange grave, poured more than a dozen barrels of gasoline into the strange grave, and burned it for three days and three nights!
After the fire, the strange tomb of the Kang family never grew taller again, and the Kang family, which was originally prosperous, slowly became gradually decaying...... After more than ten years, the people of the Kang family moved and moved away, from the first family in western Sichuan to the ordinary people who no one cares about today.
And the righteous son who betrayed the position of the Kang family's ancestral grave was also squeezed out by the Kang family, and he took his family out to work ten years ago, and has never returned......
After reading the content of this blog post, my brain seems to be overcharged, and I always feel that some sparks are entwined and intertwined in every inch of brain cells, and I stare at the computer screen and fall into a daze.
Shi Peng came back and saw me pestle in front of the computer like a piece of wood, and a touch of surprise appeared on his face: "Hey, didn't you accompany your daughter-in-law in the hospital?
"Boss, what's the seller's last name in 1802?
I didn't answer Shi Peng's question, but asked him another question directly, Shi Peng hung his handbag on the shelf, and said while pouring water from the water dispenser: "You let me recall, when he came to hang the house, he said that he seemed to be some old professor of the Geological Bureau, well, what's wrong, did you find something?"
"Is it the Nanshan Geological Bureau?"
"Of course, one-third of the houses in this community are relocated houses from the Geological Bureau. ”
"If so, it could be retribution!"
I turned off the computer page, and said in my mouth, Shi Peng popped and squirted out the water that he drank into his mouth: "I said Xiao Wu, don't talk nonsense here, okay, let's sell the house, we must follow the scientific basis, and we can't engage in superstition." ”
"Don't engage in superstition, what are you following a feng shui master all day long?"
I asked with a smile, Shi Peng opened his mouth, and I was speechless when I asked.
Seeing that he opened his mouth and didn't speak, I said to him, "Boss, I think I should have discovered the problem that Guo Wei found before." ”
"What's the problem?"
Hearing me talk about Guo Wei's matter, Shi Peng's face sank and he asked, I said: "This question is not big, it is not small, but it needs someone to confirm, and Guo Wei died in order to confirm this problem." ”
"What kind of dumb riddle are you kid playing with me? Can't you say it clearly if you have something to say? Guo Wei's death is unknown, I'm trying to find out the situation, so don't hide it from me. ”
Shi Peng seemed to be interested in my words, he hurriedly leaned over and continued to ask, seeing his expression, I hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Boss, if I tell you that I want to go to Nanshan University Town alone and find out this dead seller, what would you think?"
"Dead seller?1802 Is this seller dead?"
Shi Peng was shocked, I clicked on a Baidu page, which said Xiao Hongwei, a professor of the Nanshan Geological Bureau, was born on December 8, 1947 and died on June 13, 2017! Seeing this, Shi Peng suddenly exclaimed: "June 13th last year, wasn't it the day he came to hang the house?"
"Here's the problem, how can a dead person put up a property for sale to an agent?"
I stared at the Baidu entry and said thoughtfully, Shi Peng asked me, "So you want to go to Nanshan to find out if he is really dead, or if there is something else hidden?"
"After I leave, Xinxin will be handed over to the boss to take care of. ”
"What are you kidding, brother, your daughter-in-law, how can I take care of it?"
"Haven't you been taking good care of you?"
I sneered and said, put away my bag and stood up, after hearing this, Shi Peng's face suddenly turned pale, I took a deep look at the partner in front of me, and withdrew from the store with a complicated mood.
If Qiu Xinxin really has something to do with him, it is understandable, after all, it is possible, he still knew Qiu Xinxin before me.
Before, Qiu Xinxin stored his phone number in my mobile phone address book to fool Zhang Ze, and when the two sang and harmonized, and the performance was tacit, I was suspicious.
When he helped me pay for my medical bills at the hospital, I confirmed this idea...... It's just that I didn't know that Qiu Xinxin was so painstakingly close to me and acted in so many bitter love scenes with me.
For what?
Could it be just to take away my million?
If that's all it takes, it should be fine, I'm afraid......
I got on the bus and headed to Nanshan.
At this time, I think I should be quiet, leave all worries behind, and stay away from the distractions of the world, perhaps in the eyes of people, this is an escape, because the university town is still dozens of kilometers away from the city, I gave up driving, only in this way can I completely empty my mind and let myself think well.
Looking at the photos of Shi Peng and Qiu Xinxin together sent by the ball, and the screenshots of those mobile phone chats, I didn't express any opinions.
Let her go, her heart has changed, what is the use of you making any more reservations?
Even if I'm an emotional coward, then let me be a coward once, it's just ridiculous that I came for her in the first place, and now she is the first to quit.
Maybe she can only blame me for not being good enough, and she will choose someone else.
I didn't want to continue to dwell on it, so I closed the chat page, sorted out my thoughts in my mind, planned this trip, and after thinking about it, I decided to revisit the path Guo Wei took at the beginning, and see what kind of terrifying existence the legend of Nanshan is?
The bus was on the road, just as I closed my eyes and was about to go to bed, when the bus conductor began to check the tickets, and when I was found, I took out my wallet, but I didn't get anything, and I was instantly confused: "Oh no, I didn't bring my bag." ”
I sat there, helpless, looking at the eyes of the people who looked at me like a monster, because I was not concentrating, I forgot my backpack in the waiting hall of the station, and now I remembered it at the ticket check, but the result was useless.
The ticket inspector on the bus was very calm: "Sir, if you are sure that the ticket has been lost, then there is no way, you have to make up a ticket, otherwise we can only let you get off." ”
"But, my wallet is in my bag. ”
I touched my empty trouser pocket, knowing that my wallet and cash had been left at the station, and the ticket inspector smiled: "It's okay, we support WeChat and Alipay payment." ”
She took out two QR codes, and I held my phone, and I was stunned for a while.
The reason why I was stunned was that there was no money on the WeChat and Alipay accounts, because the card bound to the account had been given to Qiu Xinxin, and the money in the card seemed to have been transferred.
Seeing me stunned on the spot, the ticket inspector's face suddenly changed: "No money, huh?"
I hesitated and nodded, the ticket inspector seemed to be waiting for me to make this move, she shouted to the driver, asked the driver to pull over, after the bus stopped, the ticket inspector and the driver began to expel me: "Look at your young man's eyebrows, I didn't expect to rub the car to sit, we have seen a lot of liars like you, let's go down......"
The driver pushed me out of the car when he lifted me, and the ticket inspector kept chattering like a shrew, and the whole car looked at me with disgust, like a rat coming out of a garbage heap.
This is a world full of malice, I clenched my phone helplessly, stood up from my seat in a hurry, and was about to hug my head, when a hand behind me pressed my shoulder, and a familiar voice sounded in my ears: "You sit down, I will make up for the ticket." ”
I turned around, my eyes twitching, and I saw Jiang Wenwen standing behind me, wearing a white and blue plaid shirt.
Jiang Wenwen took out his mobile phone, made up a ticket, handed it to me, and said gently: "When you go out, who doesn't have a difficulty, if you get off the bus because of other people's misunderstandings, do you have to walk these hundreds of kilometers on foot?"
"I ......"
Jiang Wenwen smiled and pressed me back to the seat, turned around and walked to the back row, I called to her: "Beauty, although I don't thank you for your kindness, but I want to know why you came to ......"
Before I finished speaking, Jiang Wenwen pretended not to know me and interrupted me: "Friend, the mountains don't turn around, and the effort of raising your hands is not enough to worry about, let's talk about it when we have the fate." ”
