One night three days later, Zhang Mu, Tengu and Cen Si, who had to see what it was like to have a relationship, drove to a rural area around Chongqing, where the family surnamed Qian lived, that is, where we wanted to help get married.

The ceremony was supposed to be held tomorrow, but if this kind of thing is according to the rules, Mr. Yin and Yang, who is in charge, must come a day early, because he has to help the main family prepare some things. So today I went to the village with Zhang Mu and them. Our employer, Lao Qian, had to pull me for a drink at night, and I couldn't refuse, so Lao Qian fried a few dishes in his house and pulled me and Tiangu Zhang Mu and Cen Si to drink.

Of course, Cen Si doesn't drink, and I'm a typical kind of person who is strict with his wife, I really don't dare to drink too much when Cen Si is around! So, the main force of drinking has become Zhang Mu and Tengu.

To say that this old money is indeed a very drinkable person, basically he should be able to have a fight with me, and when the wine has passed three rounds and five flavors, everyone will open the conversation. I don't know which great man once said, 55 of the 56 ethnic groups in China will sing and dance if they drink too much, only we Han people, drinking too much is bragging!

Although this sentence can't describe all people, it is really suitable to describe the current scene, Tengu and Zhang Mu accompanied Lao Qian to drink at least six bottles of beer alone, and then began to blow.

Of course, the main person who brags is Zhang Mu, Lao Qian is because he is looking for someone to do things, so he is more restrained, and Tengu just doesn't know anything at all, and there is nothing to brag about.

Except for the fact that ordinary people can't do it by drinking disinfectant themselves, there is really nothing else to blow out. "Little Master, I respect you, I really want you to worry about my son's affairs!" Old Qian said to me with a wine glass.

As soon as I saw that I was in this state, I must have wanted to drink it, so I grabbed the wine bottle on the table and touched it directly with Lao Qian: "You have drunk a lot, I'll blow a bottle directly, you can do whatever you want, just leave it to me tomorrow." After saying that, he directly tilted his head and drank a bottle of beer.

After Lao Qian drank the wine in the cup, I don't know if it was because he mentioned his son or because he drank too much, his mood instantly became depressed, and he poured himself a glass of wine and muttered: "My son is also very miserable, he just made some money, and he said a daughter-in-law, why did this suddenly have an accident, alas! ”

Old Qian said and dried the wine in his cup directly. Zhang Mu lit a cigarette for himself after taking a bite of food: "Old money! You don't have to be too sad, in fact, getting married is also a kind of fate. After hearing this, Lao Qian was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Zhang Mu: "How do you say this?" ”

Zhang Mu smoked a cigarette with a meaningful look on his face: "I remember my dad told me something, let me tell you about it." ”

I looked at Zhang Mu's expression and didn't look like he had drunk too much, so I also lit a cigarette: "Tell me, it's nothing anyway." Zhang Mu nodded: "This incident happened to my father when he was young, and it is a real thing."

My dad still remembers it when he told me! In the second year when my father went to the countryside to join the queue as an educated youth, there was an incident in the village where he cut the queue, which was weird.

At that time, it was still the collective ownership of the people's commune and the production team, and the female members were not idle at all compared with the male members. The crops in their village are basically wheat, corn and cotton, and most of the process after the cotton is planted, from field management to cotton picking, is responsible for the women's cotton planting group composed of young and middle-aged female members. In addition, corn picking is also the exclusive domain of female members.

Once, my dad once secretly carried the corn baggage that the female members carried out of the cornfield, but he was stunned and didn't lift it. Although he is thin and has no strength, it is an indisputable fact that the big burden that he can't lift is very heavy. Since then, my dad has understood the hard work of female members, and they are definitely good laborers - compared to the production team, because I don't know who set the rule: female members work at least one point less than male members in a working day, which may also be a strange thing done by the old custom of preference for sons.

Not only are they hard, but they are also risky.

Field management in the women's cotton planting group also included several pesticide applications. I remember that at that time, except for dimethoate, several other pesticides were more toxic. When spraying pesticides, you must wear long clothes, hats, masks, and choose windy weather, standing on the wind to operate, in order to blow the drug along the wind direction and reduce the chance of poisoning by the sprayer.

Even with great care, there are still frequent accidents of pesticide poisoning. Once, a female member named Hui Fen, a very beautiful girl, was poisoned, and her companions hurriedly carried her to the commune health center, but they did not save the young life, she was not yet twenty years old, and she had not yet found her mother-in-law's family.

It is said that pesticide poisoning is the second time. And Huifen was poisoned once in the first year and rescued, but this time she was poisoned again and was not saved. Later, I heard that the production team had learned the lesson of this blood, and if there was a record of pesticide poisoning, she would not be allowed to spray again.

I heard Hui Fen's female companions say that someone had proposed to her several times in the village before, but no matter whether the man's conditions were good or not, Hui Fen didn't take a fancy to her. And according to her own private words: "My object should be in the outer village." ”

Strange things followed.

The day after Huifen's accident, a young unmarried man died in a traffic accident on the national highway south of the village.

The young man was a member of a neighboring village. That afternoon, he went out with his second aunt, on foot. There was a row of tall poplar trees on each side of the national highway, and the two of them stopped walking for some reason and talked about things. The young man stood facing east against a large tree, while the second aunt stood opposite him.

At this moment, suddenly a car came from the east, and for some reason, the steering wheel in the driver's hand suddenly slipped, and the front of the car turned down the road, and crashed into the big tree where the young man leaned impartially, and the poor young man was crushed to death without even screaming. His second aunt was hit by the front of the car and fell into a ditch on the side of the road, with only some skin injuries.

Later, I heard others say that the young man was accompanied by his second aunt to go on a blind date that day, and halfway through, the young man suddenly changed his mind and couldn't go, so the two of them quarreled on the side of the road.

Afterwards, the young man and Huifen married the children, and both families were quite satisfied.

However, this bizarre incident is unbelievable: Huifen has an accident, and pesticide poisoning is a common accident after all. And that young man stayed in a safe place on the side of the road, and he actually died, why is it so inch? ”

After Zhang Mu finished saying this, Lao Qian's face was obviously better: "You mean that my son has a fate with this girl who wants to marry her?" Zhang Mu smoked a cigarette in a daze: "I didn't say it, but my father did tell me such a thing at that time." ”

I saw that Zhang Mu was a little drunk, so I quickly took over the conversation: "Don't think about it so much, in short, I will definitely be able to help you get things done tomorrow." Don't worry. "Just as I was finishing my sentence, a man suddenly broke in outside the door!

This person was sweating on the top of his head, and after pushing the door open, he looked directly at Lao Qian and shouted: "Old Qian!" The girl who was engaged to your family committed suicide! "What the hell?! Suicide! Because I hadn't drunk much, I instantly sobered up when I heard this sentence from the person in front of me.

Old Qian was still confused and didn't figure out what was going on: "What did you say?" Who committed suicide? "It's the girl who gave you Qian Wei a kiss earlier!" Suicide! Die in front of your family's Qian Wei's grave! After hearing this, Lao Qian also sobered up! I guess I'm going to wake up!

"When? Did you call the police? "I found it just now when I passed by your Qian Wei's grave, I called the police just now, you should go and see it quickly!" After hearing this, Lao Qian grabbed his coat and ran out.

Only Zhang Mu and Cen Sitiangu were left to stare at each other with big eyes. Zhang Mu was not confused at this time. He said to himself, "What is that girl doing?" Martyrdom? Could it be that there is really such a thing as fate in this world? After listening to Zhang Mu's words, I felt a little bad in my heart for a moment.

"Brother Zhang, you accompany Cen Si, and Tengu will come with me to have a look." I picked up the coat on the back of the chair and said a word, and followed the old money out the door. "Uncle Shi!" Tengu chased after him from behind. "What are you going to see?" I walked quickly in the direction that Lao Qian left: "It's not good, it's just that I have a bad feeling in my heart, and I always feel that this woman's death has something to do with tomorrow's ceremony!" After I finished speaking, Tengu was a little unconvinced.

"No, isn't it, isn't it just a yin kiss? The man is dead, the woman will not be martyred, even if he wants to be martyred, this man has been dead for so long, and now he is martyred! "Tengu's words are always true.

"I know this, so this is what I can't figure out, even if this woman really committed suicide, why did she have to die on Qian Wei's grave? Don't think about it, let's go check it out. I shook my head, picked up my pace, and in a few moments caught up with the old money.

But I didn't overtake him but followed him, walking towards the place where the accident happened, I don't know why, the more I went forward, the more unsteady my heart became, and I always felt that something big was going to happen.
