Chapter Seventy-Eight: Smelling and Finding It
Brother Long frowned again, looked at Hu Xiaojiu for a while, and probably thought that Hu Xiaojiu didn't look like a Taoist priest no matter how he looked at it, so he nodded and cooperated.
"That dragon has thanked someone in advance, a few people are so concerned about my affairs, it is really a blessing that I cultivated in my previous life."
"Can you go or not?" Xu Youqiang's voice sounded at the right time, and he poked his head out and knocked on the car window, looking impatient, "It's dark after a while, the matter will be resolved as soon as possible, and we will have something to do when we go back!" ”
With Xu Youqiang's urging, Brother Long swallowed the words he wanted to ask, so he could only nod and return to the driver's seat again.
As Hu Xiaojiu and I walked towards the car, we had a quick conversation.
"How did you find here?"
"Of course I smell you." Hu Xiaojiu smiled cutely, but his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, "Okay, you Li Sheng, one thing on the surface and one thing behind the other, you promised me a good thing yesterday, but now you regret it, I'm just accumulating merit, why is it in the way of you?" ”
"Grandma, I really forgot."
With a bitter face, I walked to the side of the car, and remembered Xu Youqiang's disgust with Hu Xiaojiu, so I immediately opened the door of the passenger seat, pushed Hu Xiaojiu over, and honestly sat back in the back driver's seat.
With Hu Xiaojiu's episode, it is not a bad thing, at least after Hu Xiaojiu appears, the atmosphere in the car is no longer as weird as before.
Hu Xiaojiu used the three words of self-cooked to the extreme, and as soon as he got in the car, he automatically connected to the Bluetooth in the car, played energetic music, and shook his body with great enjoyment.
I looked at Xu Youqiang's pretending to be forbearing, and I could only smile bitterly in my heart, and in the dark, I felt that this trip to the old mansion might not be as smooth as expected.
Fortunately, along the way, except for Hu Xiaojiu, there were no other accidents, and when I arrived at the destination, looking at the half-demolished old house, I suddenly felt a little cold.
After parking the car, Brother Long walked quickly with the car keys, and explained in his mouth: "Don't worry, I won't let you live in an open-air room tonight, this is another room, and there is another one, and there is nothing now." ”
Xu Youqiang had already walked into the courtyard by himself, looked at the broken wall, and suddenly said, "It's the house that Long Rui used to live in was demolished, right?" ”
I followed the past and took a closer look, just like Brother Long said, the two houses were next to each other, one of them had been demolished in half, and even half of the earthen kang inside was gone.
There are still a few pieces of old furniture in the house, on which are pasted with pleasing New Year's dolls, but half of them have been dried and lost their color, and it can be seen that the time is a little old.
Xu Youqiang had already stepped in from the broken wall familiarly, I glanced at Hu Xiaojiu behind me, saw her gesture to me, and followed into the half-demolished house.
As soon as I entered, I saw a long beam on the ground, on which there were already many traces of bumps, it should have been in the sun for a long time, and after the destruction of wind and rain, this beam will make a crisp sound as soon as I step on it.
Xu Youqiang frowned when he heard the voice, a trace of inexplicability flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "This is the beam where Long Rui committed suicide at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be still here." ”
I immediately withdrew my hand and looked at it again, always feeling that something was wrong.
If you hang yourself, the hemp rope goes around the beam, and you have to bear the weight of an adult woman, and the top should always be a little worn.
How is it that it seems to me that there is no sign of wear at all at the corners of this beam?
I almost couldn't wait to share my new discovery with Xu Youqiang, and when I looked up, I saw Brother Long walking towards us, and he kept his mouth shut.
I don't know why, I always feel that there are things that can't be said in front of Brother Long.
"It's been so long, Rui Rui committed suicide back then... It's always been a pain in my mother's heart, and she is also hard-mouthed when she says that, don't take it seriously. ”
I was pouted at him, and the tone in which Aunt Long said this at that time was not like a hard mouth, but like a sincere heart.
I don't know what kind of hatred Long Rui has with them.
"Since it was a strange thing that started from the demolition of this old house, we will carefully check this house."
Xu Youqiang looked at the half-pushed earthen kang and suddenly called my name.
"Li Sheng, come and take a look, is there something wrong with this earthen kang?"
Before I could go to the side of the earthen kang, Brother Long hurriedly said, "Wait, don't go there!" ”
Shouting these words, Brother Long walked in the direction of the soil kang with a flying stride, and stopped in front of the earth kang with an ugly face.
"This kang has been picked up like this, and it is estimated that it is all dust, or I will find a broom to clean it up later, and then you can come and see."
"What's this?" Xu Youqiang looked at him coldly, "When I first came in, it was also a room of ashes, we didn't say anything, or did we say, is there something unsightly in this dirt pit?" ”
As if Xu Youqiang said something, Brother Long gritted his teeth, but he refused to move his position, but Hu Xiaojiu sniffed and walked to me, pulled my sleeve and whispered: "There seem to be ashes in that kang." ”
I was stunned, on the one hand, I was surprised by Hu Xiaojiu's sense of smell, and on the other hand, I was surprised by what she said.
There are ashes in the earthen kang, is this why Brother Long is stopping us?
Hu Xiaojiu's voice was not small, and it also made Xu Youqiang and Brother Long hear it clearly, seeing that Brother Long's face was getting more and more ugly, I knew that I was afraid that Hu Xiaojiu was not lying, and there was indeed someone's ashes mixed in this soil kang.
"So after I left, you mixed Rui Rui's ashes into the pit?" When Xu Youqiang spoke, his voice was full of incredulity, as if he didn't expect his good brother to do such a thing.
Seeing that Brother Long still didn't reply, Xu Youqiang was also ruthless, pushed Brother Long away, directly brushed away the gravel next to the earthen kang, stretched out his hand to play with it, and soon dug up some gray substance, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, his face was even more ugly.
When he got up again, a fist unceremoniously smashed into Brother Long's face, and I also saw that my heart was tight, and I hurriedly called his name.
"Xu Youqiang!"
I rushed over to stop Xu Youqiang, "We're here to deal with things, not to create problems!" ”
I know he has anger in his heart, and even then, he can't make a patrol.
Who knows if Brother Long will make a fuss about this afterwards, and now I don't have any trust in this Brother Long.
"Long Long, why are you so ruthless? Rui Rui is your own sister, how can you do this, she is your only sister! ”
Wait, what did he say?
I stiffened my neck and looked at Brother Long, as if I didn't hear what Xu Youqiang called Brother Long just now.
Hu Xiaojiu burst out laughing all of a sudden, covering his mouth, laughing exaggeratedly.
