These words made me stunned, and I didn't react a little, could it be that there was something wrong with the fat man's family and he urgently needed money, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem to be anything: "What are you borrowing money for, what's wrong?" ”

"Wang Yan's sister-in-law's affairs, the family has already spent all the money, and Wang Yan's family is not rich, so I want to borrow some money from you, didn't you just get 150,000?" When the fat man spoke, his face became even more unnatural, as if he was afraid that I would look at him, and he did not dare to look at my eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But then again, if this matter hadn't been brought up by the fat man, I would have been negligent, Wang Yan and her aunt, who carried the person back from the hospital, had already thought about preparing for the future, but we gave her hope, of course she hoped that the person could live, so she sent it back to the hospital.

Although the old Taoist priest was ready to keep the man alive, even if he lived, he had to be nourished, and now the man couldn't wake up and eat, so he could only rely on the liquid in the hospital to maintain it.

And Wang Yan's aunt has already spent all the family's savings, and all the relatives and friends who can borrow have borrowed it, and they haven't paid it back last time, so it will be even more difficult to borrow it again this time.

So when the fat man called Wang Yan just now, he heard Wang Yan's cry, and he was also a little soft-hearted, and wanted to help Wang Yan's side.

"Fatty, call Wang Yan and ask him to send his bank card number, and after getting off the train, call 50,000 yuan first, I don't know when the matter will be finished here, and then she won't be able to call when she is not enough." When I think of Wang Yan, I think of the scene that night in the morgue of the county hospital, where she hugged me tightly.

But now that I see that the fat man is so concerned about Wang Yan's affairs, I suppress that feeling, whether it is because of the fat man or Wang Yan, I should help them.

"Okay, I'll call Wang Yan." After the fat man finished speaking, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called Wang Yan.

It can be seen from the smile on the fat man's face that helping Wang Yan solve the problem should be a very happy thing for him, at this moment I am really a little jealous of the fat man, obviously the money is from me, why let him do favors. However, I just think about it, as long as it can solve the problem.

When I arrived at the small county town of the fat man's house, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and there was no delay at the train station, so I took a short break and had a meal, and then got into the van and walked in the direction of the fat man's house.

This is the second time I have walked this road, the afterglow of the sunset is very beautiful, the color of blood, the old Taoist priest looked at the blood-red light and shook his head and sighed, turned around and leaned on the seat of the car to close his eyes and recuperate, no one knew what he was thinking.

The scenery outside is very beautiful, the river jade belt is like winding and circling, from the highway, you can occasionally see the fish that emerge to breathe, the sign of "accident-prone point" is still standing there, and the ghost I saw last time I don't know where it has drifted to.

When it was almost dark, the three of us got out of the car, the temperature was still so cold, the old Taoist priest just got out of the car, his body shook, and the faces of me and the old Taoist priest became serious.

"It's really not ordinary, no wonder something happens, little fat man, do you think it's colder here this year than ever?" The old Taoist priest looked around with a serious face, then turned to the fat man and asked.

I really didn't know much about this question, and I turned to the fat man.

The old Taoist priest's question made the fat man stunned, but then reacted and replied: "Don't you say that I haven't noticed that this year is really colder than in previous years, and this year's rain is also more than in previous years, and there is not so much rain in previous years, and it will rain every two days this year." ”

I know that there is a lot of rain, and I have stayed on the fat man's side for six or seven days, and it has rained several times, and I thought that the climate on their side is like this, and it turns out that this rain is also unusual than in previous years.

"Well, that's how it should be." The old Taoist priest nodded, as if everything was under control.

At this moment, I felt that someone was staring at me, so I turned around and subconsciously looked up the mountain, and found that the little girl of twelve or thirteen years old was looking at me in a daze, just looking at me.

All of a sudden, it made me feel a little creepy, the little girl looked at me with a blank face, which made people feel very cold, the feeling of rejection thousands of miles away.

"Xiao Qi, let's go, what are you looking at?"

It wasn't until the fat man tapped me on the shoulder that I reacted, turned to look at the old Taoist, and was about to point out to the old Taoist priest to see the little girl, but found that the little girl was no longer in the place just now, it was empty, as if nothing had come.

"Xiao Qi, what were you looking at just now?" The old Taoist priest asked me with some curiosity.

I shook my head, did not answer the old Taoist priest's words, this little girl's matter, I haven't thought about whether to tell the old Taoist priest or not, just now after seeing the little girl, I remembered the dream I had in the small hotel in the provincial capital, the little girl's saw sawed down, not rolling wood but my head.

Hoping that this was just a dream, and not some bad omen, I turned to the old Taoist priest and the fat man and said, "It's okay, let's go, if you don't go any longer, it will be dark, and then the road will be even more difficult to walk." ”

The mountain road is very difficult to walk, at least for me, but the fat man and the old Taoist priest next to him walked very fast, as if walking on the ground, the fat man did not say, he has walked this road since he was a child, I guess he can walk back with his eyes closed now.

The old Taoist priest made me feel incredible, it stands to reason that he is so old, he probably has to be supported to climb the mountain, but I didn't expect him to walk faster than me.

When he came back this time, the fat man didn't call home, this was requested by the old Taoist, he just didn't want to spread the news, and I don't know what the old Taoist was doing, but I think he must have his reason for doing this.

I didn't walk forward for a long time, and I arrived at the place where the last landslide occurred, where the third child of the Li family was buried in the soil and crushed to death, or it cannot be said to be crushed to death, because the real cause of death of the third child of the Li family is still uncertain, and the body that Meng Ye lost inexplicably was also found here.

"You say, that Lao Meng's body was lost in front of everyone's eyes like that?" The old Taoist priest listened to me and the fat man talk about Meng Ye's loss, and he couldn't believe it.

The fat man and I nodded, and many people were able to prove that many relatives in Meng Ye's family were keeping vigil, but in full view of everyone, Meng Ye's body could not be found.

"Impossible, certainly impossible, nothing can be lost out of thin air, except falling into a rift in time or space, but the probability is so small that it is almost negligible." The old Taoist priest obviously still didn't believe it.

If you compare time and space to a flat ground, then the space and time cracks, that is, those cracks in the ground, after falling into the cracks on the ground, can stop and drill out from there, but space and time are constantly running, and if you fall into it, it will be very difficult to drill out.

"Dao Chief, that Meng Ye's body was really lost, and everyone didn't see how it was lost, Dao Chief, you mean, someone is lying?" I finally understood what the old Taoist priest meant.

"Someone must be lying, but I don't know who it is, so I have to go and investigate slowly, and then go up and talk about it first." The old Taoist priest nodded and replied.

I glanced at the fat man, and the two of us didn't even think of it at that time, thinking that all the relatives of the Meng Ye family said that, so they decided that it was true, what happened in the village in those days was very strange, so everyone's nerves were also tense, and they didn't expect this.

On the next road, the fat man walked in the front, holding a stick to beat the water on the branch next to him, it seems that it has rained in this village recently, and the water on the branch has not dared to dry, from the point of view, it should be at noon or afternoon today.

After walking not far, I heard the sound of firecrackers in the village, and the fat man and I were startled at the same time, and looked at each other.

The fat man immediately sped up, the old Taoist priest must be able to guess what happened, the speed does not have to be slow for the fat man, this is bitter for me, it was not possible to walk the mountain road, the last time I went to Yintiao Ridge and climbed such a high mountain, now I have to follow the two people in front of me, and my feet are almost twisted.

"Lin Hao, why are you back, are Lingling and the others back? I'm going to call your dad. "Not far from the entrance to the village, I saw a woman of about forty years old walking towards me.

"Sanniang, Lin Ling and the others haven't come back, what's going on in the village, is there another dead person?" When the fat man asked if he was dead, his voice was very low.

The middle-aged woman raised her hand and knocked twice on the fat man's head, and said: "Bah, bah, bah, you didn't say something good, your new city brother Ming is out of the slope, tonight, don't you see that we are all going to help, your dad is also over there, do you want me to call your dad over?" ”

The fat man and his Sanniang's mouth out of the slope, in fact, is their dialect, our small county town is also universal, that is, after the person dies, the day the coffin is buried, the general mountain people are buried on the slope, so it is also called out of the slope, and the mountain has taboos for those who die, bury or something.

In the mountains, young people are called no when they die, and the old people are called a hundred years old when they die, and the graves are called out of the slope, which is taboo on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also a respect for the dead.

This is also one of the reasons why the cremation system is difficult to implement in the mountains, because they think it is disrespectful to the dead, and there is also a big taboo, that is, digging people's ancestral graves, but fortunately, there are no developers in the mountains to buy land and build houses, if any developer dares to move their ancestral graves, the consequences are really unimaginable, especially the elderly are more stubborn.

I can't say whether it's right or wrong for this aspect of customs, but I always feel that people should be respected, and people should be a little afraid and respectful, so that they can be upright.

"Sanniang, don't shout, I have the key to the house, I'll go back first, and I'll go over and take a look later." The fat man waved his hand at him Sanniang and continued: "Sanniang, you go and get busy, Lin Ling and the others are fine, you can call them when you have time, and I will give you the phone number." ”

"No need to give, Lingling and the others called me today, I also have the phone number, okay, you go back first, I'll hurry up and help others." After the fat man and his three mothers finished speaking, they hurriedly ran over there, and there was the sound of serving food, and the sound of firecrackers rang out again.

I didn't go far forward, I arrived at the fat man's house, after opening the door, I quickly put down the things and rubbed my feet, just now the fat man and the old Taoist ran too fast, I chased after the hurry, and now my feet are a little painful.

It seems that I haven't practiced seriously for a long time, and the foundation that the master trained me when I was a child is almost exhausted, it seems that the old saying is good, if you don't practice your hands for three days, I haven't practiced for three days.

"Xiao Qi, whose house is that over there?" The old Taoist priest sat in the doorway and pointed in the direction outside.

I didn't react for a while, I got up and came to the old Taoist priest to look in the direction he pointed, and I could vaguely see a dilapidated house with an old and all-wooden structure, needless to say, it must be Mr.'s house, and only Mr.'s house in the whole village is old now.

I heard the fat man say that a few years ago, his father wanted to use the money in the village to help Mr. build a new house, Mr. belongs to the "five guarantee households", and has this qualification, but Mr. refuses to live or die, not only refuses to build a new house, but even in the old house, even the electricity is not connected until now, and I don't know what Mr. thinks.

"Fatty, isn't your father the village chief, didn't Mr. say it at the time?" I asked, a little curious.

The fat man shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I didn't say it, or maybe I told my dad, my dad didn't tell us, at that time, the village told the brick factory outside, as long as the bricks arrived, he could build a house for his family, and I don't know what Mr. told my dad that day, since then, my dad hasn't worried about this matter anymore." ”

When I said this, I and the old Taoist priest were a little curious, there were people who were unwilling to live in a new house for free, and they didn't even want electric lights, if they said it, it would be somewhat unbelievable.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, a voice that I was familiar with, and I immediately heard it, it was the voice of two people escorting Mr.

Hearing this voice, the fat man and I hurriedly turned on the outside light, stood outside the door and looked over there, sure enough, it was the fat man's father and another person supporting Mr. left and right, it seemed that Mr. was sent back.

Seeing this scene, I was shocked again, Mr.'s legs had been broken, why did he still alarm Mr. at this time, could it be that things were in trouble again.

Seeing the three of us coming out, it startled the husband and the others, and after seeing clearly that it was me and the fat man, the fat man and his father breathed a sigh of relief.
