In addition to me and Liu Liwei, there were also three young villagers in Niutou Village, including Fu Liang and Sun Ming, who reported the news before.

No one wants to do the work of keeping vigil for the dead, except for fear and bad luck.

Soon someone sent blankets and bedding, as well as two bottles of two pots and two boxes of cigarettes, Sun Ming and Fu Liang folded a few branches outside the door, simply swept the sundries on the floor, spread the blanket and covered the bedding, and then pointed to the innermost place, and said to me Liu Liwei with a smile:

"The two of you are guests, I ...... The village chief said that he was still a VIP, and he ...... here It's a little warmer here. ”

Looking at Sun Ming's mouth full of big yellow teeth, I felt both angry and funny, what is this! Originally, he just went to Niutou Village to ask people, but he sent a ghost to look at the corpse for people all night.

After sitting down, Sun Ming opened the cigarette, unscrewed the wine, and handed it to us.

Liu Liwei sat with his back to us and smoked, and didn't speak, probably because he had been the director of the bureau for a few years, he had his own majesty, and he looked at how dare the young man talk to him, so he surrounded me.

It was pitch black outside, and the wind blew a few big trees outside the temple, making a "woo-woo" sound, which sounded a little creepy. A candle thicker than an adult's arm was lit in the ruined temple, and we were several years old, smoking and drinking, and we quickly became acquainted with each other.

"Brother doesn't look very old, and he's also a criminal policeman!"

"It's hard work to do what you do! Interpols should work overtime and stay up late. ”

I quickly explained that although I was assigned to the police station, I was not a criminal policeman, but just a river patrolman.

As soon as they heard that I was a river patrol from the Yellow River Water Conservancy Station, the three of them seemed to be even more excited.

"You're a river ranger? This work is exciting, and my grandfather was a river patroller in Zhanhua County when he was alive. Fu Liang grinned.

"Oh? It's such a coincidence that his old man has passed away? In fact, when the words came out, I already realized that it was nonsense, and when people said "when they were alive", they must have passed away.

"It's been more than ten years since I died, and I heard my mother say that my grandfather was dragged down by the river ghost and drowned......"

Before he could finish speaking, the guy on the side interjected: "Didn't Boss Qiao of our village also be a river ranger before?" ”

Sun Ming immediately said, "Fart!" Boss Qiao was a fisherman when he was young, what kind of river ranger is he...... If you had a job, you wouldn't be a bachelor for the rest of your life. ”

These words aroused my curiosity. During the day, I heard the neighbors talk about this Boss Qiao seems to have very high medical skills, and even Uncle Xing praised him for a while, saying that he not only understands medical skills, but also knows how to measure words and fortunes, watch yin and yang Zhai, and also know how to call soul arts, but I didn't expect such a great character to be a bachelor for a lifetime.

"That's not right! Wrong! Fu Liang took a sip of wine and retorted, "I heard that he used to have a daughter-in-law, but he ...... But then before she could get married, the woman died. ”

"I've heard about it, and the woman is pregnant with his child, but ...... But then I don't know why, I hanged myself in this temple......" He leaned in front of him, and then glanced at Fu Liang and Sun Ming, "Do you know who this woman is?" ”

At this time, there was a cat's meow outside the door, which frightened Sun Ming and the cigarette in his hand fell to his leg: "Damn! Big night, still here...... Can you pay attention to what you say? ”

I'm not afraid, but I also scolded secretly, counting up to now, I haven't been talking for more than ten hours when I come to Niutou Village, how can I know about these broken things about Chen sesame seeds and rotten grain!

Fu Liang and Sun Ming looked at him and shook their heads.

"I heard that it was Uncle Yang's sister, and Uncle Yang's parents were resolutely opposed to her daughter marrying Boss Qiao, as if Uncle Yang was running for village chief at that time, and it was a shame to ......"

I probably understood what it meant, looking at the fat woman in front of me who was fifty or sixty years old, I guessed that this human tragedy was thirty years ago, that is, in the eighties. At that time, it was not as open as it is today, especially when it came to children's marriages, it was basically "the words of the parents' orders", because the parents blocked it, which led to many human tragedies.

Sun Ming poured a sip of wine and sneered twice: "Zheng Yongtian, you ...... How do you know so much! Sure enough, the title of the first male and eighth woman in Niutou Village is not covered! Fu Liang immediately followed suit, and for a moment the atmosphere was not as depressing as just now.

After a while, Fu Liang pointed to Liu Liwei, who bowed his head and was silent, and then they all quieted down.

"Director Liu, you ...... Don't you smoke a cigarette? ”

Fu Liang politely handed Liu Liwei a cigarette.

Liu Liwei turned around, thanked him, took the cigarette and put it on his mouth, and Fu Liang hurriedly helped him light it.

Taking a puff of cigarette, Liu Liwei smiled slightly: "You guys just talked very energetically!" What happened next? ”

As soon as they heard that even Liu Liwei was interested, the servants became even more energetic, and Fu Liang and Sun Ming also urged Zheng Yongtian to hurry up and talk about it.

"I also listened to my mother...... After Uncle Yang's sister hanged herself, Boss Qiao made a fuss and alarmed the police. Examine...... His leg seems to have been lame by Uncle Yang's family this time...... He jumped into the river that night, but did not die...... That's it. ”

Fu Liang continued: "I heard that he didn't know medical skills before, and he didn't know how to call people soul telling, he learned it from Huang He Niangniang - by the way, this time he angered Huang He Niangnian also told the neighbors, he asked us to come to the temple to kowtow and burn incense." ”

"Oh?" Liu Liwei seems to be more interested than me, "Then is the Yellow River Niangniang spiritual?" ”

"O Spirit! Very smart! Those who came to the temple to burn incense and kowtow will be fine when they go back, except for Uncle Yang and the others......"

I don't believe in any Yellow River Niangniang, but when I learned about these recent things in the village, there are really some evil sects, and I believe that there must be something strange in them.

In the afternoon, everyone threw off their arms to drain the water in the village, and after a lot of effort, and talked for more than an hour, I gradually became tired and fell asleep against the wall.

I don't know how long I slept, I woke up with urine, I felt a little cold in a daze, so I rolled up the futon, and hesitated whether to hold it until dawn, but the urine was overwhelming, and I couldn't control it at all.

In the winter in an unheated house, I woke up in the middle of the night with urine choking. If you go to the toilet, you will definitely be able to understand how I feel at the moment - there is no way!

The candle has been blown out, and there is the even snoring of several people next to me, and my calf is still tightly hugged by Fu Liang, I guess I think I am my daughter-in-law in my sleep. As soon as I sat up with his arm open, my eyes swept to the idol, and the back of my head seemed to be electrified.

I saw Yang Shuhui's daughter-in-law kneeling in front of the stone statue again, still poking her forehead on the ground.

I was so scared that I wanted to call a few of them, and after trying a few times, my throat shook so much that I couldn't make a sound at all.
