Chapter 015: Red Silk Corpse, Fuzzy Mirror
Mai Xiaorou suddenly said a word, but Liu Shengfu continued to speak as if he hadn't heard it. Chinese Net 1.81z8.
Tang Fu Teahouse did not explicitly tell Liu Shengfu and my father where the grave was, but sent someone to drive them to a village not far from their destination.
Liu Shengfu said that the village is just west of the provincial capital, called Maogou, about thirty or forty miles away from the provincial capital.
When they arrived at the destination, the driver told them that the grave that Boss Tang wanted them to dig was on the hill behind the village, and the mountain was particularly eye-catching, a lot higher than the mountain next to it.
After saying the address, the driver took out shovels, hammers, ropes and other tools from the trunk of the car and handed them to Liu Shengfu and my father, saying that he would come to pick them up at dawn and let them be careful.
At that time, my father and Liu Shengfu were already desperate, let alone let them dig graves, even if they were asked to kill people, I was afraid that they would really go if their heads were hot.
The two men carried the tools for digging the grave, and went around the village of Maogou and went to the back mountain.
Although the mountain is very high, you can still see the way to climb the mountain, my father grew up in the village, and since he was a child, he followed his family up the mountain to collect medicine, and this mountain climbing is nothing to him.
But Liu Shengfu grew up in the city since he was a child, and this steep mountain road was a little unbearable for him.
After climbing for a while, Liu Shengfu couldn't climb anymore, looked back behind him, and now he was "hanging" halfway up the mountain, and he was even more frightened.
My father didn't leave Liu Shengfu behind, he took out the rope and trapped himself with him, and then he climbed in front and pulled Liu Shengfu up by the way.
The two of them tossed and turned until the middle of the night before they climbed the mountain.
The top of the mountain is not flat, but the place is very large, the two of them took a flashlight and shone it, and soon a lonely grave appeared in the center of the top of the mountain, that is a tomb, and what Boss Tang asked them to dig must be that one.
The two of them did not hesitate, untied the rope on their bodies and prepared to excavate.
As soon as they thought that they would have a lot of money if they brought back the things they dug up and gave them to Boss Tang, their hearts swelled with infinite enthusiasm.
However, before digging the grave, my father bowed properly in front of the grave and said some sorry words.
Liu Shengfu didn't believe that, so he directly picked up the hammer and started the planing.
When my father saw that Liu Shengfu was dry, he didn't bother himself, picked up the shovel and began to shovel the soil.
Soon the grave was leveled by them, and they continued to dig.
As a result, they found that it was not a large tomb, but only a small grave with a small coffin, and judging from the size of the small coffin, the owner of the tomb was probably a child.
Seeing the small coffin, my father and Liu Shengfu did not hesitate, and went directly to pry the coffin.
The coffin was so rotten that they pried it hard, and the coffin board cracked open, and at the same time, a rotten stench came out of the coffin.
The two men covered their noses and continued to pry the remaining coffin boards, and after a while, the coffin boards were all removed.
They took a flashlight and took a picture of the small square, and there was the skeleton of a child wrapped in red silk, about five or six years old, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a boy or a girl, because the child was undressed, but wrapped in red silk.
Seeing the pile of white bones, the two of them were still a little afraid, but when they turned their heads and thought about the rich reward, the fear in their hearts suddenly retreated.
Liu Shengfu and my father took the bones wrapped in red silk cloth out of the coffin, and then began to look for things in the coffin.
And there really was something under the bones.
When he said this, Liu Shengfu suddenly stopped, Mai Xiaorou did not scatter furnace ashes this time, I glanced into the clear water basin, and the blurred grimace in the water basin did not have a stable trend, it seemed that Liu Shengfu deliberately stopped.
I couldn't help but ask him, "What's under that coffin?" ”
Liu Shengfu said: "It's a bronze mirror, which is also wrapped in red silk, but Chen Laizi and I directly tore off the red silk wrapped on it." ”
Mai Xiaorou asked what kind of bronze mirror it was, and Liu Shengfu said: "There is a gossip pattern on the back, and the front is already a little blurry, and the figure cannot be seen at all, but that thing must be an antiquity, and it should be worth a lot of money." ”
Mai Xiaorou and I didn't interject again, and Liu Shengfu continued to tell the rest of the story.
After the bronze mirror was in hand, they threw all the grave-digging tools on the top of the hill and went down the mountain with only a pair of ropes.
Just as they were approaching the foot of the mountain, they saw dozens of people rushing towards them, shouting "catch the thief" or something like that.
Seeing this situation, my father and Liu Shengfu were startled, and they ran into the old forest on the side of the mountain.
My father has good physical strength, Liu Shengfu ran for a while and then lost his energy, while the group of people behind was in hot pursuit, seeing this, my father made a decision, that is, to untie the rope that tied himself and Liu Shengfu together, and then ran away alone.
Liu Shengfu desperately called my father and asked my father to wait for him, but my father just ignored him and disappeared into the old forest.
Liu Shengfu was later caught up by that group of people and beaten severely, but those people did not kill him, and after the beating, they did not call the police, nor did they send Liu Shengfu to the hospital, but imprisoned him in an old temple in the village.
Every day, someone will go to deliver food to Liu Shengfu, but it is not a normal meal, just some snakes, rats, insects, ants, Liu Shengfu was very resistant at first, but then he was really hungry, so he couldn't take care of those.
Later, one day, Liu Shengfu took advantage of the fact that there was no one next to the broken temple, dug up a wall of the broken temple, and then secretly ran out of the village, and then jumped all the way back to the provincial capital.
At that time, he seemed to have become a beggar.
He went to the Tang Fu Tea House first, and when he inquired, he learned that my father had already exchanged all the things for all the remuneration, and the person had disappeared.
Liu Shengfu was going to my father's hometown to find him, he went home first, changed into clean clothes, but when he went out, bad luck happened again, a car accident directly knocked Liu Shengfu into a vegetative state.
Liu Shengfu has been lying like this for nearly 20 years.
Over the years, he has been taken care of by his parents who don't like him very much, but not long ago, his parents passed away one after another, and it was at that time that he woke up.
Dealing with the afterlife of his parents with his two elder brothers, Liu Shengfu was ready to embark on a trip to find my father again, this time Liu Shengfu's luck was not very good, he took the car to the town and collided with a big truck, and Liu Shengfu was the only one in the car who was thrown out of the car and fell into the ditch on the side of the road and died.
The others were only slightly injured.
On the day of the car accident, my mother happened to be in town for something, and when she passed by the scene of the car accident, she picked up a black mobile phone in a lawn not far from the car accident, and the mobile phone was the one that Liu Shengfu flew out with when he was thrown out of the car.
My mother was greedy for a while, so she picked up the phone and took it home, while Liu Shengfu's soul wandered nearby, and when she saw someone picking up her own things, she also followed.
Speaking of this, Liu Shengfu smiled and said: "This is the will of heaven, when I followed the woman to the house, I saw Chen Laizi's posthumous photo on the table, it turned out that she was Chen Laizi's daughter-in-law, and it didn't take any effort to get it, the only pity is that Chen Laizi has died, but I learned from that woman that Chen Laizi also has a son, just right, the father's debt is repaid!" ”
At this point, I basically got the idea.
However, there are still many doubts in this matter, as Mai Xiaorou said before, why did the owner of Tangfu Teahouse, who has a great background, let two ordinary people dig his grave for him, and also gave him a heavy reward, there must be something greasy in this.
Besides, what exactly is that bronze mirror?
Also, the people in that village imprisoned Liu Shengfu and fed him snakes, rats, insects and ants, which is very strange in itself, and I can't help but feel that the people in that village seem to have problems.
When I was thinking about this, Mai Xiaorou opened her mouth and said to Liu Shengfu: "Are you hating Chen Laizi for not saving you back then, and then swallowing the reward alone?" ”
"Yes!" Liu Shengfu said a word fiercely.
Mai Xiaorou said: "What Chen Laizi did in this matter is not authentic, but if you want to vent your anger by killing his wife and children, I will never agree." ”
Liu Shengfu was silent for a while, and then continued: "I really hate Chen Laizi in my heart, and I can't wait to cut him with a thousand knives, but after so many years, before I came to Chen Laizi, my hatred for him was not so heavy, I came to him this time, as long as he was willing to return my share of the money back then." ”
Liu Shengfu's voice began to become a little sad: "I know that I am a very unpopular person, I have caused trouble at home over the years, not only dragging down my parents, but also dragging down my two elder brothers, I have been paralyzed in bed for many years, my parents have been taking care of me, and my two elder brothers have not spent less money on me, although they don't like me, but they have never given up on my life, I am not the kind of hard-hearted, I also know gratitude." ”
Liu Shengfu's emotions are very sincere, he continued: "My two brothers are now grown up, they need to buy a house for their children and prepare for marriage, but because the money is not abundant, the children's several objects have not been negotiated, no matter what, I am also the child's uncle, I want to get my share of the money back, to help my two brothers, my two nephews, this is the real reason why I am looking for Chen Laizi, to collect debts!" ”
Hearing this, I said: "Don't worry, I will definitely return the money that belongs to you, tell me the addresses of your two brothers, and when I return to the provincial capital, I will personally deliver it to them, by the way, how much money does your share have." ”
Liu Shengfu said: "One million! ”
"So much?"
Liu Shengfu said: "This is my share, my two elder brothers, one of them is 500,000, and no one is missing." ”
Before I could speak, my mother suddenly spoke: "Xiaoyu, we will pay this money, this is what your father owes to others." ”
I can't help but wonder how rich our family is!
Mai Xiaorou also said on the side: "I think when I get to the provincial capital, it is necessary to go to Tangfu Teahouse to figure out everything that happened back then, there are too many strange things about this matter." ”
