156.
In ancient times, there was no weather forecast, and there were simply too many people who went out like the sea and never came back, and he was not the first, nor the last.
However, like him, he was persuaded to leave Ah Cai yesterday, and there are really not many people who really have an accident today.
There was a lot of discussion, and some of them were very sorry for why he didn't listen to the advice. Some are gloating, saying good words that are hard to persuade damn ghosts, there is such a nemesis in the family, even if there is no accident for a few days, it will happen tomorrow.
Ah Cai was once again pushed to the forefront. Even, if it weren't for Tian Laoer's heavy money, no one would be willing to help her deal with the aftermath.
After stumbling like this for a few days, it was finally time to be buried in the sea. It was said that it was buried, because there was no body, that is, some of the clothes he usually wore were put into the coffin.
The Tian family, as a family, still has to go on this kind of day.
Early in the morning, Tian Lao Er set off in the family's carriage and drove Jiang Wanbai and others. On the way, the family was dreary, obviously not very willing to do this.
And just as they were halfway there, when they passed through a wasteland, the carriage went up and down several times, and suddenly there was a loud "snap" and collapsed downward.
"Ah......h
Fortunately, the carriage only collapsed and stabilized, and everyone shook a few times to stabilize their figures.
"Second, what's wrong?" Jiang Wanbai asked in shock.
There was a rustling sound outside, as if Tian Lao Er was doing. Soon, he lifted the curtain and said in a somewhat gloomy voice: "It's really unlucky, the axle of the carriage is broken." ”
"If the axle is broken, how can a good axle be broken?" Jiang Wanbai felt a little strange.
"Who knows......" Tian Lao Er glanced at Zhao with his eyes, the meaning was self-evident, it must have been Acaike's.
Jiang Wanbai looked at Zhao, whose face was very unnatural, "I'll take a look." She got up and got out of the car.
The carriage was bought by Jiang Wanbai as soon as she came to Yancheng, and she has used it for a long time, and she has never had an accident, so it is indeed a little strange today. Jiang Wanbai thought and looked under the carriage.
At this time, the axle of the carriage was still wood, a piece of wood the thickness of an adult's leg, and the paint on it was a little mottled, revealing the grain of the wood inside.
The grain is tight and delicate, and it is a fine piece of wood. As for the place where it was broken, countless wood fibers intersected, not that kind of rotten appearance, but as if the wood had been torn by someone.
"What the hell." Zhao also saw the situation of the axle clearly, and muttered in a low voice.
"Isn't that hell?" Tian Lao Er raised his voice and said.
Zhao glared at him and stopped talking. For Ah Cai, because she has also suffered from gossip, she has a feeling of sympathy for the same disease, and she really wants to protect her, but now that strange things are happening one after another, she also has a feeling of powerlessness.
"What now?" Jiang Wanbai is more concerned about this matter.
Tian Lao Er peeked at Jiang Wanbai, and said, "Otherwise, mother, let's go back." It's not that we don't want to go, it's that God won't let us go.
From here to Ah Cai's house, there are still six or seven miles, and there is no one here......" As he spoke, his voice weakened, because Jiang Wanbai was glaring at him dishappily.
"Then, mother, what do you say you should do?" Tian Lao Er's self-abandonment of the road.
"You have to go. Let's take a look here first, if there are any passing cars that can take us for a ride. ”
There was no way, the Tian family and the others could only stand on the side of the road and wait.
I don't know if they were unlucky, or if this road was rarely passed by in the first place, they waited for a long time, let alone the carriage, and they didn't even see a single figure.
At first, the Tian family was still standing on the side, looking around, and in the end, they simply found a stone and sat on the side of the road, looking dejected.
Jiang Wanbai was also a little anxious, this funeral was the same as a happy event, it was all about the hour, they always delayed here, and it was not a matter.
"Third child, go back and see if you can hire another carriage to come over."
"Okay." Tian Laosan was very sincere, and promised to go back.
When he left, the Tian family continued to wait with wide eyes.
Jiang Wanbai felt bored, and began to continue to look at the axle, wanting to see why it broke. At this glance, she really saw something wrong.
This axle is indeed a good piece of wood, but because the paint on it has fallen off a lot and the beach is damp, I don't know when the worm will grow. At the place where the fracture occurred, there were exactly a few deep and long wormholes.
A thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an anthill, a dam is still like this, not to mention an axle, it is estimated that even if it continues today, one day in the future, it will break.
However, it is not excluded that there are many people in the car today, plus the reason for the bumpy roads.
told everyone about her guess, and everyone hummed and agreed, but they didn't listen to her words at all, Jiang Wanbai got tired and sat aside and waited for the car to pass by.
After waiting for a while, a rumbling ox cart came over, driven by an old man in his fifties and sixties.
"Uncle, where are you going?" Tian Lao Er hurriedly jumped up and greeted the old man.
The old man was taken aback, but when he saw that these people were old and women, and they were dressed upright and clean, he knew that they were not bad people, and said with a smile: "I just went to the market and sold a cart of firewood, and now I go home, Lingyu Village." ”
Lingyu Village is next to Ah Cai's village, Tian Lao Er immediately smiled, and pointed to the carriage lane behind him: "Uncle, we want to go to Shuiliu Village, but halfway through, the carriage axle is broken." You see, is it inconvenient to take us for a ride? ”
"Yes, what's wrong with that. It's been a long time coming, come up. The old man said enthusiastically.
"Mother......" Tian Lao Er turned around and greeted Jiang Wanbai.
"Thank you very much." Jiang Wanbai said.
"Say nothing thank you." The old man waved his hand.
Everyone in the Tian family hurriedly packed up their things and prepared to get on the ox cart.
However, before getting in the car, there are still two things to solve, one is Tian Laosan's problem. He went back to hire a carriage, and if he didn't see anyone here, he would be in a hurry.
There is also this broken carriage, although the axle of the carriage is broken, but the rest of the place is good, if it is left here, it will be taken away by any passer-by.
"Mother, I'll stay here and watch the carriage, and wait for the third child to come back by the way." Tian Lao Er said very positively.
In the past few days, he has helped Ah Cai take care of the aftermath, and he always feels that everything is not going well. In addition, after listening to a lot of rumors, he always wondered if he was given by Ah Cai, so if he could not go to Ah Cai's house, he didn't want to go again.
Tian Lao Er is indeed the best person to stay here, Jiang Wanbai nodded, "When the third child comes, you guys hurry up and keep up." After all, he is a family member, and the sea is also a good person, so we still have to send him on his last journey. ”
Tian Lao Er hurriedly agreed.
Jiang Wanbai turned around and was about to get into the carriage, but saw the old man looking at them with a suspicious expression, "Are you going to Ah Cai's house to attend the funeral?" ”
"That's right!"
"I'm sorry, I probably can't help you." The old man said, got on the ox cart, flicked the whip, and ran away in a hurry like a fish that had slipped through the net.
"This ......" The Tian family was dumbfounded.
After a while, Tian Lao Er took a sip towards the place where the old man had gone, and then sat aside and sulked.
When he was like this, the rest of his faces naturally wouldn't be good, and they all sat back in place.
"Mother, our Tian family has never been so disliked." Tian Lao Er said sullenly.
Jiang Wanbai didn't speak.
"Lately, workers have been less motivated." Tian Lao Er continued. After speaking, he saw that Jiang Wanbai hadn't reacted yet, and said as if jokingly talking to himself, "If it goes on like this, don't say that the business is not good, it will be difficult to carry them to marry in the future."
There is such a ...... at home Who dares to marry in. ”
"I'll be home in a few days, and who knows what's going on here. Second brother, don't scare people. Zhao retorted.
At this moment, she seemed to have lit a powder keg, and Tian Lao Er jumped up suddenly, "Fourth daughter-in-law, according to what you say, we can do whatever we want here?"
Don't forget, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. No, the village now knows about these things. When we go back, there are a few who dare to recognize us, but they are not necessarily. ”
The Zhao family actually wanted to take Tian Chengbao and Ah Cai back to the village, and in her mind, as long as no one knew Ah Cai, it should be okay. But when Tian Lao Er said this, she felt cold.
Things are known here, almost certainly. At that time, Ah Cai's situation may not be as good as it is now.
After all, here, Ah Cai is the daughter-in-law of the Tian family, and others dare not do anything. But back in the village, those are all elders of the Tian family, in case they want the Tian family to take a leave of absence, it is almost a matter of being caught.
Or, they will...... A thin layer of sweat appeared on Zhao's face, and he stopped talking.
"Mother......" Tian Lao Er shouted Jiang Wanbai.
"Suspicion is a dark ghost, I said it, if anyone slanders Ah Cai again, he will be the enemy of the Tian family." Jiang Wanbai glared at Tian Lao Er and said firmly.
Tian Lao Er didn't dare to speak, but he was still a little indignant.
"Let's go, today we are walking, and we are also going to the funeral of the sea. Isn't it just seven or eight miles away, and it's not that I haven't walked it. Jiang Wanbai said, stood up, and walked into the distance.
The Tian family was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed.
didn't wait for Jiang Wanbai to walk to Ah Cai's house, Tian Laosan drove the carriage and Tian Laoer followed. According to him, he also took several people and had them tow the broken wagon home. In this way, this day finally had a thing that was quite smooth.
When I arrived at Ah Cai's house, the scene could only be described as cold, miserable and miserable. Except for a few bold, there were few people in the whole funeral, only Ah Cai and her father cried like tears, and even the people who usually like to watch the excitement disappeared today.
At this time, no one from the Tian family appeared, and Ah Cai thought that the Tian family would not come, and she was crying like rain.
As soon as she saw Jiang Wanbai and the others, she was so excited that she couldn't speak, she opened her mouth several times, and her hoarse voice didn't make any sound when she cried.
