The news of Cao Zhishu's bizarre and violent death after the meeting spread in the small village, casting a thick shadow on the already unpeaceful days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lu Le struggled again and again, but he still decided to tell his grandfather what he had seen and heard, he was an old man who was well-informed, and he might have a way to deal with it.
But before he could speak, another person who knew the inside story appeared. He is Zheng Yishui.
There is such an evil ghost in the village, everyone is completely unaware, if this news is revealed, everyone will have to invite Mr. Zhangtan to suppress the ghost. And he, Zheng Yishui, is the best choice. The evil ghost can't stop it, and it shouldn't be a problem to take the opportunity to make a profit.
Early the next morning after escaping home from the cemetery, he knocked on the door of Lu Le's house.
The countrymen are simple, and they are very polite and respectful to Mr. Zhangtan, Lu Qinghe put down his elder figure and politely welcomed Zheng Yishui into the door. Zheng Yishui pretended to be profound, and didn't even call "Uncle Lu".
Lu Le heard the excitement in the outhouse, and vaguely heard his grandfather say that Mr. Zheng was coming, and he bounced off the bed after putting on his vest and pants: Speaking of those monsters, Mr. Zhangtan is much better than his grandfather.
Lu Qinghe and Zheng Yishui sat down around the table in the hall, and without the need for grandpa to greet them, Lu Le ran to pour tea for the guests. After turning it over, there was not a single tea leaf at home except for hookah leaves, so I had to pour a bowl of boiling water and bring it up, and said respectfully in my mouth: "Mr. Zheng drinks water." ”
Zheng Yishui took the water and put it on the offering table, without even glancing at him, he didn't leave or get annoyed, moved a horse and sat in the corner, planning to listen to what he wanted to say.
Zheng Yishui pretended to be for a while, but Lu Qinghe spoke first: "Mr. Zheng came home early in the morning, is there anything important?" ”
Zheng Yishui sighed, and said to himself in response to the question: "The village is not peaceful......
"Yes, if you don't see a drop of rain in a month, the fields are about to be harvested! It's a sad day......" Lu Qinghe picked up the hookah and took a deep breath, but he coughed and couldn't straighten his waist for a long time.
Lu Le felt distressed for a while, but he couldn't control him, how many times he hid the hookah, he asked him to go back with both hard and soft methods.
"Any idea why it doesn't rain all the time? There is a fur in the village! ”
"Ahh Lu Qinghe screamed, and the hookah slipped from his palm and fell to the ground and cracked into several pieces.
In Lu Le's memory, his grandfather has never lost his temper like this since he was a child, so he can imagine with his knees that the "hairy man" in Zheng Yishui's mouth is definitely not an ordinary evil.
"Fur? No wonder so many people have died in the village one after another, and it hasn't rained all the time! Lu Qinghe didn't care about the broken hookah on the ground at all, and was anxious to listen to Zheng Yishui's words.
"It's the new grave, Zhang Kunshan, who died more than ten days ago. The grave had grown several times, and the corpse was in full swing. Yesterday at noon, when I passed through the bend, I saw with my own eyes that the hairy mantle, who had not yet reached the clime, climbed to the top of the grave and bowed down to the clouds in the sky. ”
"What can I do?" Lu Qinghe got up from his chair and paced anxiously back and forth in the middle of the room.
"Governance!" Zheng Yishui said categorically, "Treat it as soon as possible!" However, everyone knows that it is very powerful, and I can't do it alone, so I have to ask some brothers to come and help. ”
"Then thank you so much Mr. Zheng, as the saying goes, saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, you saved the lives of our villagers!" Lu Qinghe was convinced of Zheng Yishui's words.
"Oh, that's as it should be." Speaking of this, Zheng Yishui changed his words, pretended to be embarrassed and said: "I'm good to say, but if you want to invite my senior brothers over, you have to spend a lot of money and red envelopes......
"How much money can be calculated, this curse can't be eliminated until it is removed, it's a big deal that the people in our village go door-to-door to make up the money!"
Zheng Yishui put on a smile and said: "Uncle Lu, you are the head of a household, you see that I didn't discuss this matter with a second person, I knew that you could be this family!" ”
Lu Qinghe nodded, and greeted Lu Le anxiously and said, "You kid, don't sit stupidly, hurry up and notify everyone to come to my house to discuss matters!" ”
Lu Le came to his senses from the conversation between the two, and he also heard the seriousness and urgency of the matter, so he agreed and ran out of the door.
"Uncle Lu, since this has been decided, I will hurry back and prepare for it."
Zheng Yishui got up to say goodbye, and Lu Qinghe sent him out of the long distance before turning back. Through the dry weir, I saw the castle-like tomb in the river bay from afar, and my heart was stunned, and the roots of my hair stood up involuntarily......
Old Lu Tou returned to the door of the house, but saw Lu Le leaning on the door frame waiting for him, so he asked curiously, "Why did you come back so soon?" When do people come? ”
"Grandpa, everyone went to the village branch for a meeting, and the loudspeakers at the head of the village have been shouting for a long time, so we haven't arrived."
These things dealing with the public, old Lu Tou generally doesn't like to get involved, Lu Le is not sure whether his grandfather will go or not, so his body is still leaning against the door frame and not moving.
Who knew that Lao Lu Tou was unusually this time, and shouted at him with a wave of his big hand: "You are leaving!" ”
When an old man and a young man arrived at the village branch, it was already surrounded by villagers. Through the crowd, you can see two liberation cars parked at the entrance of the village committee, cars were still rare at that time, and ordinary leaders could not sit at all, it seemed that someone from above had come.
said that it was a meeting, but no one came out to speak, only to see Liu Dagang carrying Cao Maozi's wife into the conference room, and after a while, his still girly voice came out on the radio:
After investigation, Comrade Cao Guangrong was unfortunately hit by a silver iodide warhead in the process of artificial rainfall the day before yesterday, causing serious head injury and died. Today's convening of this villagers' meeting has two purposes:
First, dispel superstitious rumors and restore the truth; Second, the family of Comrade Cao Guangrong will be given government compensation and condolences to the family.
Hearing this, Lu Le and his grandfather looked at each other. On the one hand, Zheng Yishui's alarmism, and on the other hand, there is a reasonable and well-founded truth, who should be believed?
At this time, a detail suddenly appeared in Lu Qinghe's mind, that is, Zheng Yishui's expression changed after he mentioned asking the villagers to raise money. From the first high in the house, to the later respectful and polite, the change seemed to be in that instant.
Besides, although Zheng Yishui is famous, his reputation for being stingy and greedy for money has long spread all over the country. This time, it shouldn't be intentional to create a tense atmosphere and take the opportunity to cheat money, right?
Lu Le saw his grandfather's thoughts, and asked him tentatively: "Grandpa, why don't you wait for the meeting to let everyone go to our house?" ”
"it, if it hadn't been in time, we'd almost be on the mustached thief ship......"
