Chapter 45: Perseverance

The relationship between Mo Xiu and Liu Longting is complicated, and from my point of view, they have always been hostile.

So I didn't expect that they were surprisingly unanimous in the matter of floating Qian.

Don't let me go to see Fu Qian, rescue her together, and take care of her together.

However, Mo Xiu obviously didn't want to say much about Fu Qian, so he looked at me and left.

When he left, I took out my notebook and wrote several addresses on it, one of which was in Qin Mipo's village, a grandmother, who had passed away two years ago.

Outside the door, Qin Mipo was coughing again, and the sound of the spatula touching the oil pot "sizzling".

I got busy, washed up in a hurry, and went to help Qin Mipo cook.

In the morning, it's leftovers and noodles, Qin Mipo doesn't have much livelihood, and I'm even more in debt, so it's good to eat indiscriminately.

After eating, Qin Mipo took a bunch of things to ask for rice, and then took me to Wei Pozi's house.

Asking rice, in fact, is waiting for the owner to come to the door.

can make a living in the village, how can there be so much exquisiteness, miscellaneous, all of them are there.

On the way, Qin Mipo turned her head to look at me several times, to be precise, on my wrist, to determine whether the black snake jade bracelet was there.

I generously showed her my wrist: "Snake Jun has something to do recently, and I have to take care of Fu Qian." ”

Hearing this name, Qin Mipo seemed to be a bad person, and actually showed a sneering expression: "Hmm." ”

On the way, I wanted to ask something more, but Qin Mipo lowered her head and walked forward quickly, silent.

Wei Pozi's house is in the same village, and it only takes more than half an hour to walk.

Her family is a new-style three-and-a-half-story small building, which is very beautiful, and there are two large Roman columns at the door, which has become popular in rural self-built houses in recent years.

It can be seen that the conditions of Mrs. Wei's house are really good, and when we went, they were still having breakfast.

There are a lot of people at the table, even the village chief yesterday was there, a man in his forties, who looked very thick, was toasting the village chief, shaking his head and saying something, with a bitter look on his face, it was estimated that it was Gu Xiaolan's husband.

Qin Mipo stood outside the door and coughed lowly.

Wei Pozi glanced at it, but she didn't mean to get up to greet her at all, she just helped the village chief with the dishes: "Eat fish, I just fished it from the pond this morning." ”

On the contrary, the village chief got up and greeted him: "It's here, have you eaten?" Sit and eat a bit? ”

Qin Mipo turned her eyes and shook her head, "I'll go and see where Gu Xiaolan lives first, and find her things before she died." ”

As soon as she said this, Wei Pozi's face immediately sank, and she hurriedly stood up and said, "She has been dead for more than a year, how can she still live, and everything is burned." ”

Qin Mipo snorted coldly: "She should always sleep in the same bed with your son, right?" I can always look at the bed, right? Do you want to find it anymore? ”

When I saw them like this, it was obvious that they were hiding something.

Wei Pozi pointed at Qin Mipo and wanted to say something, but the village chief's chopsticks knocked down the bowl, and she had to get up crookedly.

But when she saw me, she immediately said, "She can't come in!" The people who returned to Long Village all said that the daughter of the snake wine dragon was a snake girl, and yesterday your family was such a big snake......"

Qin Mipo didn't say a word, and pulled me away.

Just as we turned around, I saw the man who was toasting and glanced at Mrs. Wei.

Wei Pozi seemed dumbfounded, patted her legs, and hurriedly chased after her: "Okay, okay!" Just look at it, Qin Mipo, why is your temperament stinky and hard. ”

"My son is going to marry a new daughter-in-law, the new house is arranged, does it make you angry." Wei Pozi was still muttering.

Qin Mipo was so angry that she wanted to say something, but her mouth was full of coughs.

I patted her on the back and looked at Mrs. Wei: "I have to go back to feed the snake, if you delay any longer, that big snake is hungry, I'm afraid it will come to me......"

Mrs. Wei's eyes widened in fright, she looked behind me, and she was too busy to speak, and took us upstairs in a hurry.

I don't know if the room is heavily arranged, but it is a mess, clothes and shoes are thrown everywhere, some are still with cement mortar, the bed is still an old-fashioned frame bed, and there is no mosquito net, and there are ropes tied at both ends.

Qin Mipo went in and walked around, and I didn't know what I could see, so I just got around on the side.

But when I look at the rope, I always feel that it is not right, even if the mosquito net is hung, the rope should be that thin, not this wide.

Reaching out to pick up the rope, Wei Pozi immediately coughed lowly: "This is to tie something." ”

She didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as I said it, I took a special look and found that there was still a lot of wine in the room, among which there were actually two large glass bottles of snake wine, one bottle was drunk for the most part, and the other bottle had not been opened.

A lot of people who do manual work buy my dad's snake wine, saying that they drink it to strengthen their bodies.

Wei Pozi said coldly: "This is still what your father bought on the day of the sale, how do you know if the snake is alive." ”

Something happened to the snake wine, but their family didn't lose it?

I was curious and wanted to go over to take a look, but Qin Mipo pulled me: "Let's go, go to the grave." ”

Mrs. Wei also scolded and locked the door.

When they got downstairs, the village chief and the others had already eaten and were chatting, and there were a lot of people standing and sitting there.

Among them, those who followed Wei Pozi to the door yesterday to make trouble, and when they saw me, they were so frightened that they retreated.

Qin Mipo was obviously not very gregarious, so she just said coldly: "Go to the grave." ”

Wei Pozi hurriedly went to the chicken coop to dig eggs, beat another liter of rice, and prepared incense paper or something.

Gu Xiaolan's grave is in the vegetable field behind her house, which is really close, and she didn't walk a few steps to get there.

Not to mention the stone monument at the head of the tomb, there is not even a brick for building the tomb, but there is a wooden board with crooked words written on it.

The grave had been dug up, and the coffin was still in the grave, with the lid ajar.

There was no body inside, but there was a thin shroud, which was spread out in the coffin.

The shroud is very particular, I personally put on the shroud for my grandmother, Qin Mipo said, several layers of weight, what each layer represents.

A good shroud is not capped, and the ordinary cheap ones have to be hundreds or thousands, but that black and thin shroud is obviously the cheapest kind.

Wei Pozi immediately became energetic, and said to the person next to her: "It's just that the body is gone, and the clothes are all there, so they must have been stolen." ”

"I can inquire, this woman's marriage, the price is not low outside, there are hundreds of thousands." Wei Pozi looked bitter and hateful.

He sighed and said: "We married Gu Xiaolan, the bride price is the same as three gold, and we also spend the same amount of money as she sees a doctor and takes medicine, and our father's funeral is still paid for by us." ”

"Who knew that she didn't give birth to a baby to our family before she died, and her dead body was dragged out and sold." Say it as if she's not going to sell.

"Put the incense case, ask the rice first!" The village chief couldn't stand her like this, and hurriedly interrupted her.

But as soon as the voice fell, I heard a commotion in front of me, and the sound of a quarrel.

Wei Pozi patted her legs: "Those who are killed by God, who have been stabbed by a thousand knives, are making trouble again, I haven't said that they stole Gu Xiaolan back!" ”

It seemed that there was already a quarrel in front, and the village chief was busy trying to persuade him, so he took two steps and pulled Qin Mipo away: "You go and say a few words, and it is also steady, there has been a lot of trouble at both ends in the past three days." ”

The people next to him also talked about going to see the excitement, probably because Gu Xiaolan's father was dead, but the Gu family's uncle still had it.

Originally, Mrs. Wei planned to secretly pull the corpse out to marry, but she didn't know that the corpse was gone.

They thought it was wrong for Wei Pozi to do this, but Wei Pozi suspected that the Gu family had stolen the body, so there was a commotion.

The main reason is that Gu Xiaolan died in the first place, and her grudges were relatively deep, and she fought twice.

In the blink of an eye, the entire grave was empty.

I looked at the shroud in the half-open coffin, and I didn't know why, but suddenly remembered the dress that was on my shoulder when Uncle Cousin forced me into the mountains to look for the snake coffin.

Now that I think about it, it is said that after the daughter of the Long family was buried, there were no bones, but why are the clothes still there?

I found a place to lie in and see what was under the shroud.

I heard a low laugh: "Long Ling, do you want to check the relationship between the snake coffin and the daughter of the Long family?" ”

As soon as I looked up, I saw Long Xia standing by the grave.

When she came out of the snake coffin, she was like a ghost, coming and going without a trace, and she was not afraid of the sun.

"Do you want me to tell you?" Long Xia came over again.

Just as she was about to get closer, something cold slowly wrapped around my wrist, it was the black snake jade bracelet.

Long Xia's face immediately showed fear, and her voice carried a slight regret: "The snake monarch is really protective of the dragon spirit. ”

I glanced down at the black snake jade bracelet on my wrist, Mo Xiu is not worried about me, obviously gone, and is it back?

"Dragon Spirit, the show begins." Long Xia took two steps back and slowly retreated into the bamboo forest behind her.

I was curious about what was going on, when I heard a sound of surprise in front of me, followed by the exaggerated and surprised voice of Mrs. Wei.

Mo Xiu whispered in my ear: "Go back, don't worry about the snake coffin." ”

I hurriedly walked forward, and saw Mrs. Wei pulling a girl who looked twenty-four or five, with a surprised face.

The girl looks well-behaved and delicate, but she doesn't know why, and she feels something wrong when she looks at it.

"Gu Xiaolan came back alive." Qin Mipo pulled me and said in a deep voice: "Don't ask about this again!" ”

Just as I was watching, Gu Xiaolan looked up at me in the crowd of people, and smiled shyly.
