Chapter XXXVI: Hostility
I held my chin, and Wei Dawei also pondered, and now it seems that the history of the Xue family is very intriguing.
Aunt Xue should have told others this for the first time, and the panic and anxiety in her heart were finally released, and she choked up and said a lot:
"Woo, not only the fourth child in our family, but my husband and father also have this problem.
Since I was a long time ago, I have seen my husband and father always like to wander under the tree, and after getting married, he sat under the tree every day like he went to work...... I didn't expect to hang myself directly from a tree this time! ”
Finally, Aunt Xue couldn't help but cry, and we left in a hurry, this time is not suitable for staying here anymore.
Leaving the Xue family, Wei Dawei rubbed his hands and said to me:
"That, Master Han, do you see what? The sister-in-law of the Xue family is also strange for the ......"
I shook my head and said:
"She's just a little emaciated, everything else is normal, and she can't see anything, but now it's time to protect the Xue family."
From Aunt Xue's words, it can be concluded that liking to think about life under the big willow tree is the ancestral fault of the Xue family, and it is the Xue family who hangs themselves on the tree.
Maybe one day, Aunt Xue and her son will also go for a walk under the willow tree, or hang themselves directly.
"Well, let's stay here! Let Tian Yingying accompany Aunt Xue, I will come to see the child, does the Xue family have any other bloodlines in the village? ”
Wei Dawei shook his head:
"No, the Xue family is not prosperous, and they always die early, and Xue Laosi and his son are already the last lone seedling."
I sighed, and when Aunt Xue's emotions calmed down, I took Tian Yingying and Wang Dazhuang to live in Xue's house. Fortunately, the girl Arida Yingying is here, and there is nothing inconvenient.
At night, Tian Yingying went to sleep with Aunt Xue, and I went to Aunt Xue's son Xue Shuai's room with Wang Dazhuang.
Xue Shuai was a somewhat thin boy, who looked very timid in front of me and Wang Dazhuang, with his head down and red circles under his eyes.
The child, who had just lost his father, was so timid, and I smiled and touched his head:
"Your name is Xue Shuai, don't be afraid, we're here to help you."
I had tried my best to make my voice as kind and soft as possible, but it was still a long time before Xue Shuai raised his head to look at me, his eyes full of suspicion:
"Really, really......"
"Then you, can you get my dad back?"
"Please, I, I miss him ......"
Xue Shuai bit his lip and insisted that he didn't cry, and I shook my head helplessly:
"I'm sorry, I can't.
Life is long, and many times in the face of loss, the only thing we can do is to face it calmly. ”
Xue Shuai shed tears, but he didn't cry in the end, holding the quilt and sobbing silently.
Wang Dazhuang rubbed his hands and wanted to go over to comfort him, but I grabbed him.
There are some levels that only you can break through.
That night, there was nothing to do all night, except for Xue Shuai's brows that had been slightly furrowed.
After breakfast the next day, I asked Tian Yingying to stay and take Wang Dazhuang to the village to take a look at the big willow tree, and by the way, learn about the situation in Wuyangtun.
Walking outside, you can see that the road in Wuyangtun is wide and clean, and the villagers are either carrying hoes, or driving livestock, or walking to the factory in uniform, everyone has their own business.
In comparison, our Sanniu Village is simply synonymous with dirty and messy, the road is a dusty dirt road, free-range cattle and sheep everywhere unattended, and the wall is full of idlers who have nothing to do.
"Alas, it's incomparable!"
I sighed, Wang Dazhuang scratched his head:
"Little evil brother, what can't be compared?"
I smiled reluctantly:
"It's nothing, let's go to the center of the village."
In the center of the village, under the shade of the big willow tree, many old people in Wuyangtun have already enjoyed the shade here.
They set up a chessboard under the tree and brought tea and snacks, which was very pleasant.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but think of what Wei Dawei whispered to me when I first arrived in Wuyangtun.
The big willow tree has been in Wuyangtun for many years, and although many people have hanged themselves on the tree, the villagers still have a lot of affection for the big willow tree.
When my grandfather proposed to cut down the big willow tree, he was opposed by many villagers, and finally he had to leave in disgrace.
So Wei Dawei asked me to only tell him what to do with the big willow tree, and try not to conflict with the villagers.
But Wang Dazhuang and I came to the side of the crowd, and an old man who was playing chess stopped us:
"Eh, those two descendants, which village are you from, why haven't you seen them before?"
I smiled and said:
"This uncle, we are from Sanniu Village, and we happen to have some things about Wuyangtun that we want to ask someone about......
The best way to understand the situation in Wuyangtun is to ask someone for questioning. However, before I could speak, the faces of all the uncles and aunts under the willow tree darkened and glared at me fiercely.
The old man who played chess frowned and asked me:
"It turns out that you are the gentleman invited by the village chief to Sanniu Village, who are you Han Zhen?"
"It's my grandfather."
Although these old people have unkind faces, I am a member of the Han family, and there is nothing to hide about this.
As soon as I finished speaking, the old people picked up the chessboard, table, bench and other things, and called at Wang Dazhuang and me, shouting as they fought back:
"Beat, kill this little brute, it's not enough for his grandfather to plague Wuyangtun, he's here too!"
"Whoever wants to cut the feng shui of our village wants the life of my old man!"
"Let Wei Dawei drive them away, old man, I am the twenty-eighth village chief of Bentun, I speak well!"
was chased and beaten by a group of uncles and aunts, Wang Dazhuang and I didn't dare to fight back even if we had great ability, so we could only run away.
However, on the way back to Xue's house, we also met a few middle-aged people with gloomy faces, and they spat on us when they saw us.
Thanks to our quick response, we didn't get spittled upon.
Back at the Xue family, we were relieved to get rid of those crazy villagers.
Tian Yingying was slightly stunned when she saw us panting:
"You ...... Is this just coming back from a refugee? ”
I smiled bitterly:
"Almost, it seems that we are in Wuyangtun, which is even more unpopular than I imagined."
Soon, Wei Dawei came to Xue's house and apologized to me and Wang Dazhuang, saying that the old people were more stubborn, and asked me not to worry about them, and the other villagers in Wuyangtun were still very friendly.
I didn't believe it, but there were two people spitting on us on the way.
But I didn't say anything more, asked Wei Dawei some questions, ate and fell asleep.
That night, the moonlight shone on the bed, and I opened my eyes in a daze—
Xue Shuai, who was supposed to be sleeping on the bed, disappeared and disappeared, and he didn't know where he went.
