Ye Ming saw that the two young people were rolling up their trousers, wearing plastic slippers, and their shirts were lying diagonally on their shoulders, like villagers from Chenjia Village, thinking that they were also here to go to the grave of their ancestors, so he didn't care, turned around and squatted in front of Gong Zhichao's tombstone, took out the sacrificial supplies from the bag, lit three sticks of incense first, hugged the incense to his chest, bowed to the grave three times silently, and then inserted the incense on the soil in front of the tombstone.

Then he put a few more fruits in three plates, placed them on the cement foundation of the tombstone, burned a wad of money, and bowed to the grave again with tears in the wisps of smoke.

At this moment, he heard footsteps behind him, and then he heard a shout: "Who are you Gong Zhichao?" Why do you want to burn money paper for him? He is a heinous condemned prisoner, and he has invaded our Chen family's ancestral grave and buried it here, and we are preparing to dig his grave! I look at your license plate number, it's out of town, you'd better leave quickly! When the gravediggers come, they see you burning incense and paper money for this hooligan leader, beware of them breaking your hand! ”

Ye Ming was in a state of grief at this time, and suddenly heard the shouting behind him, his heart was furious, he turned around, his sharp eyes looked through his sunglasses, stared coldly at the two young people, and shouted in a deep voice: "Get out!" ”

The young man who had just scolded him was furious, took a step closer, his finger almost pointed at his face, and roared with spittle: "Little turtle cub, who do you want to go?" Do you dare to go wild in Chenjiaao? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu kicked out your fancy intestines? ”

Ye Ming listened to his wild words, and instead of being angry, he laughed: "You kick me and try it?" Let's see whose fancy intestines come out first! ”

As soon as his words fell, the young man flew up and kicked at Ye Ming's lower abdomen.

Ye Ming snorted coldly, suddenly reached out with a hand, grabbed his ankle that was kicked in mid-air, and gently sent it forward, the guy was unstable, fell to the ground with his back to the sky, and couldn't get up for half a day.

Another young man saw that Ye Ming was quick and lightweight, and knocked his companion to the ground with one move, knowing that he had met a master, he hurriedly pulled up the person who fell to the ground, and while walking down the hill, he took out his mobile phone and started making calls.

Ye Ming's ears are very sensitive, although he has been separated from those two people by some distance, he can still clearly hear his voice on the phone: "Brother Wei, the people of the Gong family have not moved Gong Zhichao's grave yet, and there is a foreigner here to worship him!" Just now, Xiaohu wanted to teach that out-of-town guy a lesson, but he didn't expect that guy's kung fu was very powerful, and he knocked Xiaohu over as soon as he stretched out his hand. Hurry up and bring someone over, the two of us probably can't help that out-of-towner! ”

Ye Ming heard this conversation, combined with the words of the two young people who just said that they were going to dig Gong Zhichao's grave, and vaguely guessed: because this small hillside is the ancestral tomb of the Chen clan in Chenjiaao, and Gong Zhichao is a foreign surname, according to the rules, he cannot be buried on this tomb mountain. Therefore, someone in the Chen family compound wanted Gong Zhichao's relatives to move the grave away. If they don't, they'll dig graves!

However, he was very puzzled in his heart: Since this is the case, why did the people in the Chen family's compound allow Gong Zhichao to be buried next to Chen Yuanqiao? Why did you only think of moving Gong Zhichao's grave until now?

So he fixed his eyes on the two young men again, and when they reached the lawn below the hillside, they all turned their heads to look at the red-brick bungalow to the west, and then tiptoed towards it like thieves.

When they reached a distance of about fifty meters from the bungalow, the two men stopped and craned their necks to look over the bungalow. However, they watched for several minutes, but there was no movement from the other side of the bungalow.

Then, Ye Ming saw the two people put their heads together, muttered something in a low voice, and then turned around and walked to the opposite dirt road, got into the van, started the car, and drove away.

Ye Ming didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in their gourd, and he didn't know what was in that bungalow, which made these two people so jealous, he lowered his head and thought for a while, but he still couldn't get the point, so he decided to go over there and have a look.

So, he walked to Chen Yuanqiao's grave again, put incense, put fruits, and burned the money as he had just done, and then opened the two firecrackers and lit the fuses, which "crackled" and set them off, startling a few turtledoves in the nearby thorn bushes, and flying up "flutteringly", which startled Ye Ming.

After the firecrackers were set off, Ye Ming looked up at the bungalow again, but there was still no movement.

So he went down the hill, turned to the west, and walked briskly to the front of the bungalow, and saw that on the right side of the walkway in front of the house, an earthen stove was built, and an iron pot was placed on the stove. There is a table next to the stove, on which are placed bottles of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as dishes and chopsticks, and the charcoal fire under the stove is still red, and it seems that this place has always been inhabited.

So, he walked to the door of the middle room, raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door a few times, but no one answered.

After a moment's pause, he knocked heavily on the door a few more times and asked in a loud voice, "Is there anyone inside?" ”

As soon as his words fell, there was a sudden commotion inside, as if his words had taken the people inside by surprise.

About half a minute later, someone inside suddenly asked, "Which one are you?" What are you doing here? ”

Ye Ming couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this familiar voice, and hurriedly said, "Are you a dwarf winter melon?" Open the door, I'm Ye Ming! ”

As soon as his words fell, there were several exclamations of "ahh

Soon, the wooden door squeaked open, and it was a dwarf winter melon that opened the door. Behind him, there were seven or eight of Gong Zhichao's original subordinates standing densely, and Ye Ming had an impression.

The dwarf winter melon glanced at Ye Ming with a straight face, and said in a muffled voice: "Director Ye, what are you doing here?" We thought you had forgotten Brother Chao and Mr. Chen a long time ago! Did you set off the firecrackers on the grave hill just now? Are you worshipping Brother Chao and Mr. Chen? ”

Seeing Ye Ming nodding, the expression on the dwarf winter melon's face softened a little, but there was still a hint of resentment, and said, "Director Ye, it's hard for you to know that today is Brother Chao's death day, so you came to his grave and set off a hexagram firecracker." But our brothers all have a question: On this day last year, when Brother Chao was killed, where did you hide? Why don't you go to the detention center to see him for the last time? Don't you know that Brother Chao treats you as a brother? ”

Ye Ming saw him call himself "Director Ye" again and again, knowing that they definitely didn't know that he was already the secretary of the Beishan County Party Committee, and listening to his tone, he was obviously very resentful that he didn't go to see off Brother Chao today last year, and explained with a wry smile: "Winter melon, on June 13 last year, I was participating in the pre-appointment training of the county party secretary at the Central Party School, and it happened that my mobile phone was lost that day and I didn't find it, so I didn't know that day was the day when Brother Chao ascended to heaven." Besides, even if you call me, I won't be able to rush back from the capital to see off Brother Chao! ”
