"There are rules in our village, and there are outsiders. Even if it's a married wife. In the absence of a male child, it is not allowed to be buried on the back hill. ”

It was for this reason that the pregnant woman was buried at the foot of the mountain. ”

"Speaking of which, it's pathetic. Until now, there are no two grave sweepers. ”

Speaking of which, Aunt Li picked up the big bucket and was about to leave.

It's getting late, it's time to cook.

"Aunt Li, I'll help you carry water. ”

The next second.

Ding Jie immediately stepped forward and lifted the big wooden barrel with a very relaxed look.

"Little Ding. I can't imagine that you look white and clean, and your strength is so great. Aunt Li was a little shocked.

This large wooden barrel of water is hundreds of catties, to say the least.

I lifted it with one hand, and the strength was really not small.

To be honest, Ding Jie didn't look at the weight of 100 catties at all.

The power of '14 points' is not covered.

Very strong.

At least 2,000 catties of explosive power.

In other words, a ton of damage.

"That's right. Aunt Li. Is there still the grave of the pregnant woman?" asked Ding Jie while carrying water.

"Yes. Right at the foot of the mountain. A grave without a tombstone and full of grass belongs to the pregnant woman. The people in the village generally don't go from that side, and they all say that the area is not very peaceful. Aunt Li was a little puzzled and said, "Xiao Ding." What is this for, you ask?"

"I'm just asking. Curious. Ding Jie smiled and didn't elaborate.

Waiting for Ding Jie to bring the water to the house, he found that the large tank of water was not full, so he spontaneously carried the big wooden bucket and continued to go to the village well to fetch water.

Every time she fetches water, Ding Jie pays close attention to the movements in the well.

But Ding Jie was disappointed.

The well was calm and there was no movement at all.

Eventually, he had to give up looking.

In the well... It doesn't seem like there's anything 'hidden'.

After running for seven or eight lies, the vat was filled with water.

"Little Ding. Eat a melon to quench your thirst. In the past, our family used to fill half of the tank of water, because it was too laborious. I never thought that you would fill up the water in less than an hour, but it would make you tired. The melon has just been chilled in the water, and it is just right to eat. Aunt Li happily killed a big watermelon for Ding Jie, and when she saw Ding Jie stop moving, she immediately handed it over and said with a smile: "Rest and rest." The melons are all grown at home and are very sweet. ”

"Thank you, Aunt Li. Ding Jie was not polite, and the watermelon began to be eaten.

"Aunt Li, these are all things I should do. If there is any heavy work in the future, you can call me. ”

I didn't get tired after running seven or eight times. But the weather was a little hot, and it was hot enough to choke him.

After taking a bite of the melon, I felt comfortable all over my body.

To be honest, he now lives in other people's houses, eats other people's food, and doesn't do any work for other people, which is really a bit unreasonable.

"Ahh You open a small stove for Xiao Ding. If you have watermelon to eat, you can't call us. ”

At this time, Ye Xiaoman and Gao Le happened to come in from outside, they went to clean up the mud and rocks, and they came back while they were free.

The two of them looked tired and unclear, and their bodies were all mud spots and dirty.

"Xiao Man, Xiao Le. You're back, look at what you've done, you're tired! Go wash your hands and quench your thirst with a watermelon. ”

To be honest, Ye Xiaoman and Gao Le are all 'city people', and they haven't done any heavy work at all, and the work of cleaning up mud and rocks in the afternoon can be regarded as exhausting two people.

After the two of them washed their hands, they couldn't wait to eat.

"It's so sweet!"

"Little Ding. Hand me another piece of watermelon. ”

In the evening.

Guan Xiuxian has not rested for a day.

After a hurried dinner, he went straight to the village chief's house.

The village chief's home is not far from the ancestral hall, an old house with a history of more than 100 years.

The bricks are made of cyan ancient bricks.

The tiles are the size of a washbasin.

"The village chief?"

Pushing open the wooden door of the village chief's house, Guan Xiuxian walked in.

"Is the crown coming?"

"How's it going to clear the road today?"

Without waiting for Guan Xiuxian to walk in, the village chief walked out of the house.

"The village chief. The road clearing is proceeding too slowly. I'm here today to think... I want you to mobilize the residents of the village and help us clean up the mud and rocks. Now there are two dead people in the village, and the police have been called... But because the road is blocked, the police can't get in at all, so it's not the way to go. In my opinion, it is better to clear the road first. Guan Xiuxian pondered the words for a moment before speaking.

"You mean, let the villagers help you clean up the mud on the road?" the village chief frowned, not knowing what he was considering, and finally made a decision, "That's good." I'll ask a few more strong villagers to help you couple and speed things up. It's not that we don't want to clear the road. I guess you've heard about it, too, because of the torrential rain. The ancestral graves in our village have basically collapsed. We'll have to have people go up the mountain and clean up the graves. ”

"That's good. Thank you, village chief. "Guan Xiuxian has heard some rumors on the mountain.

It is said that many of the graves on the back mountain are empty, and the bones do not know where they went.

"Village chief, then I'll go first. You're busy with yours first. After Guan Xiuxian finished speaking, he left.

It is very good to be able to give a few more people in the village.

He expressed satisfaction with the result.

"Dogs?"

"A dog that's all black?"

When he walked to the door, Guan Xiuxian happened to see a dog.

The whole body is black.

The black dog did not bark.

But the dog was biting something in its mouth, and when it looked closely, it turned out to be a bone.

Big bones.

It's white, it's a little creepy.

What animal bones is this?

Guan Xiuxian was stunned for a moment, and the black dog left with a bone in his mouth.

For some reason, he always felt that the dog was a little weird.

"Come back, what are you holding on? Spit it out, spit it out. ”

Behind Guan Xiuxian, there was the scolding voice of the village chief.

The black dog belongs to the village chief's family?

Guan Xiuxian glanced back and saw the village chief driving the dog anxiously, as if he was teaching it a lesson.

The black dog was submissive, as if he was very scared.

Guan Xiuxian didn't think much about it, and left the village chief's house.

In the WeChat group.

"@全体成员今天我和村长又谈了谈, I wanted to mobilize the whole village to help us clear the road. However, because the village has to build graves, there is a shortage of manpower. So I had to send a few villagers over. There were about a dozen people. We're going to be all there tomorrow morning, and we're going to work all day tomorrow. ”

Guan Xiuxian posted such an announcement in the WeChat group.

"Brother Xiuxian is really good. It is worthy of being a special soldier discharge, and his leadership and organizational skills are all one and the same. I'm convinced. ”

"Great. With the help of the people in the village, our progress will definitely be much faster. ”
