Chapter 7: Someone Else?
In the past few days, my second uncle has only fished out two bones from the Xiaoqingshui River.
One is Zhu Lao's, and the other is Zhao Ge's.
Now that I heard Uncle Zhang say this, I thought of what my second uncle said at that time, and everything was right.
The one million that Zhao Ge spent, and the white bones fished out, really had nothing to do with Zhao Ge.
It was Zhang Er, who fished out the corpse and died in the Xiaoqingshui River back then!
"Why is that? Are you familiar with Zhao Ge? ”
I asked incomprehensibly, when Zhao Ge brought his parents to the crematorium for cremation, the two brothers of the Zhang family at that time didn't know him at all!
Could it be that apart from the incident back then, they have had other interactions in the past eight years?
Uncle Zhang sighed, moved his body slightly, took out a bank card in the drawer of the table on the side, and said:
"This is the bank card that Zhao Ge gave me, about a week ago, he found me and said that he would find someone to help me go down to the Xiaoqingshui River to catch my brother, I don't have to spend a penny, as long as I give him my birthday, I don't have to worry about anything else, and no matter whether it is successful or not, I will give me an extra 300,000 yuan afterwards!"
"But I really didn't expect that your second uncle would suddenly come back and erect a sign to fish for the corpse, and the person Zhao Ge he was looking for was your second uncle."
Uncle Zhang said that he also regretted it very much in the end, and the palm holding the bank card trembled slightly.
300,000!
I gasped, I still know Uncle Zhang's family quite well, and his income in a year is only more than 40,000 yuan, 300,000 yuan, and he has to work for at least seven years.
If it were me, I wouldn't be able to refuse, after all, I am not a person, in a mountain village like ours, I can earn more than one million in two days like my second uncle.
At the same time, Zhao Ge's approach has once again refreshed my perception of rich people.
"What is this guy Zhao Ge trying to do, 1.3 million, just like that?"
After listening to me, Uncle Zhang took out a cigarette with a complicated face, lit it, and said with circles in his eyes:
"Actually, he just wanted to try your second uncle's skills in person, for eight years, the villages around the Xiaoqingshui River have been very calm, but your second uncle suddenly came back and broke this peace, Zhao Ge is actually worried about the things at the bottom of the Xiaoqingshui River."
What is at the bottom of the small Qingshui River?
Thinking of Uncle Zhang's words, under the Xiaoqingshui River, there is only the cemetery that was flooded at the beginning.
"Uncle Zhang, do you mean that Zhao Ge is worried about his parents buried under the Xiaoqingshui River?"
I don't think it's so simple, Zhao Ge's parents have been cremated, and in the past eight years, the grave of Zhao Ge's parents, except for some things to accompany the funeral, there should be nothing left.
And with my second uncle's character and ability, Zhao Ge doesn't ask for it, my second uncle will not touch his parents' graves.
After I finished speaking, Uncle Zhang definitely didn't deny it for a while, he just kept smoking, and finally choked and coughed violently, but he still kept sending cigarette butts into his mouth.
I couldn't stand it any longer, so I stretched out my hand, snatched the cigarette, threw it on the ground, and shouted anxiously:
"Uncle Zhang, it's time for this, don't think about hiding it from me anymore, what's going on! Say it quickly! ”
"Xiuyuan, it's not that Uncle won't tell you, there are some things that I don't know, but there are some things I really can't say." Zhang Da grabbed his head with both hands and said painfully: "If I say it, I will die, not only I will die, but my parents will also die!" ”
Uncle Zhang was a little mentally broken for a while, grabbed his hair with both hands, and kept saying I can't say I don't know.
It's the first time I've seen Uncle Zhang like this in so many years.
I was also in a bit of a trance, and I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.
I got up and poured a glass of water for Uncle Zhang, and we sat quietly like this.
I actually want to ask Uncle Zhang, is it Zhao Ge or someone who threatens you to threaten your family, but looking at Uncle Zhang like this, I know that if I asked, Uncle Zhang will not say, and he will be even more devastated.
After sitting for a while, I stood up and prepared to leave.
As soon as I opened the door, Uncle Zhang's solemn voice sounded behind me again:
"In our village, in addition to your second uncle, there is actually another corpse digger!"
"Lin Laoer's corpse is what he fished up!"
When I heard this, my body stiffened, and I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Uncle Zhang, and asked in disbelief;
"Uncle Zhang, do you mean that there are other people in our village who can go down to the Xiaoqingshui River to retrieve corpses and still be safe and sound?"
The first thought in my mind was impossible, because if there were, why would I never hear of it after eight years?
Uncle Zhang took a deep breath, nodded, snorted, and said, "Your second uncle asked you to come to me, just to see if I know who that person is!" ”
"You go back and tell your second uncle, I know he is from the village, but I don't know who it is, it's been eight years, and he only fished out Lin Laoer's body."
"What's more, you don't have to worry about what will happen to Lin Laoer, he won't hurt anyone."
After saying the last word, Uncle Zhang stood up and walked towards the bedroom, not giving me a chance to continue talking to him at all.
I watched Uncle Zhang close the door and turn away.
Riding my bicycle, I felt a little dizzy on the way back to the village.
I didn't think so, but when I came back to my senses, I realized that I had reached the gate of the crematorium.
And my second uncle, standing at the door, looked at me with a smile.
After I walked in, the second uncle asked, "Looking at you like this, it seems that I have heard a lot of news that I can't believe." ”
I hummed, stared at the fat man hanging on the door behind my second uncle, and asked;
"Second uncle, when you come back this time, it's not just about fishing for corpses to make money!"
The second uncle raised his eyebrows, picked up the small mazha on the side, opened it and sat down, and said, "What's wrong?" Why for this? ”
I walked up to him, leaned against the window on one side, and said:
"I just don't think it's right, one million corpses, it's too unrealistic, except for a rich man like Zhao Ge, it is impossible for anyone else to have this economic strength! Your sign is standing here, and no one will look for you to retrieve the corpse. ”
"So, second uncle, what are you doing here? Is it because of Grandpa's incident eight years ago? ”
I thought about it all the way back and this was the only reason I could accept.
What happened to my grandfather back then has always been a thorn in my heart, and I didn't believe that my grandfather would commit suicide at all, because he didn't have any reason why he couldn't think of suicide.
It's just that I can't go down the Xiaoqingshui River, and my grandfather at that time committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, there is no other evidence, and I don't know where to start.
When the second uncle heard this, he didn't deny it, nodded and said, "Yes, no matter what the reason is, your grandfather can't die in vain like this." ”
"Second uncle, do you know why grandpa died?" My heart fluttered.
"I don't know, but I should know soon!" The second uncle shook his head, not wanting to continue to talk about this topic, he waved his hand and said, "Your grandfather's affairs are not for you to worry about now, you should tell me what you know in the Zhang family first." ”
I didn't go any further.
After I finished talking about what happened at Uncle Zhang's house, the second uncle's brows furrowed, he raised his head and looked at me and asked:
"Zhang Da doesn't know who that corpse digger is?"
"Well, he said he didn't know, hadn't seen it, just said it was from the village!" I replied earnestly.
The second uncle looked at me, suddenly laughed, and said meaningfully: "Looking at you like this, you seem to believe in your Uncle Zhang!" ”
"Huh?"
After hearing what my second uncle said, I didn't understand in my heart, and asked suspiciously; "Second uncle, are you suspecting Uncle Zhang of lying?"
