Chapter 111: Open the coffin to save people
The fat unit was going to hold a memorial service, and I went to it. Listening to the sad cries of the family members, my nose was also sour.
Standing under the courtyard tree, I watched from afar. There are many big people in the provinces and cities, and people from all departments and fronts. As a friend of the fat man, I was a marginal person.
I didn't know anyone from these units, so I just stood in the corner of the yard.
The fat man came over and handed me a cigarette. I said, when did you start smoking? The two of them were smoking cigarettes under the trees in the yard.
The fat man was in a very sad mood, he worked in the unit for more than a year, and with his character, the people in the entire unit got along well.
Now he is left in the whole bureau, and there are two student soldiers. Although he will transfer people from other places, he is not as familiar as his old subordinates.
"Although I straightened it this time, I didn't feel happy at all when I stepped on the corpse of my comrade and climbed up."
"Fat man, don't think like this, your front is more dangerous, and this time you encounter a heavyweight person of the Holy Spirit Society, and the loss is a bit big. But it is more necessary for you to uphold justice in the world. ”
"Maintain a bird, don't let me catch that Mai Minding, if I catch him, even if he violates discipline, I will kill him."
"Is there any news of the dozen or so people who fled?"
"Now that our department has joined forces with the police and the military to share information, we have finally found a little eyebrow. There is news that they fled through Guizhou into Sichuan, and now Sichuan is vigorously investigating. ”
"If you need help, just speak up, I'm also a member of the military. Jiang Ming has the dual identity of the Investigation Bureau and the military, and when the time comes, we will defeat this demon together. ”
The fat man smiled bitterly and said, "The county bureau system here is gone, and I want to be delegated to the county bureau for a year, and then come back to work." Here, the city bureau will first have a deputy bureau to lead the work. By the way, do you have any manpower over there? ”
"What kind of manpower do you want? Don't you have a fairy lake view? ”
"I only have one junior brother over there, but I don't read much, so let's graduate from junior high school! Can only be brought to the county bureau to be a clerk. ”
"Think about it! There are also a few good seedlings in my view, and if you come to be a clerk, I can only give you one. For the remaining two, I want them to work in Le'an's Investigation Bureau. ”
"It's okay to have one, you tell him to report to the Pubei County Bureau in a few days."
After discussing the candidate with the fat man, I threw the cigarette butt away, stepped on it with my foot, and planned to go back. As a result, a young man came over there and asked if it was Mr. Chen Daheng?
I said yes, and he said the leader wanted to see you. Leadership? I glanced at the fat man, the fat man nodded, and I went with him.
In an office, there were several people sitting, people from the Investigation Bureau, the police, the military. As soon as I entered the door, the leaders of the three parties stood up. The leader of the Investigation Bureau was very enthusiastic, shook my hand heavily, and asked me to sit down and talk.
This old man surnamed Qin, in his sixties, looks very capable. Old man Qin said a few polite words to me, and then introduced me to people from the military and police.
Old man Qin went straight to the point, and he said that he was very grateful to me for the battle in Pubei, which turned the tide and allowed the provincial action team to preserve its vitality. Then he asked me if I would like to join the Bureau of Investigation.
He said that he had inquired with the fat man, I was a Taoist priest in Jiangxi, and I hoped that I could serve the country.
How can this be so similar to that white-haired old man of the lieutenant general? In fact, I don't want to be in office, I'm sleepy, I'm not free.
So I looked at him embarrassed, thinking in my heart how to refuse, so as not to hurt the leader's face.
The military and police were all looking at me, and the scene was a bit awkward. The police man took out a cigarette and handed it over, saying, Comrade Xiao Chen, come, smoke a cigarette.
I took the cigarette with both hands, and the military colonel next to me lit the lighter with a 'snap'. I hurriedly grabbed a cigarette and walked over, put my hands on the fire, and said thank you to the two leaders.
Breathing out a puff of cigarette, I cast my eyes on Old Man Qin's face. The fat man didn't mention to outsiders that I was a member of the Dragon Group, and this secrecy was done quite well. When we joined the Dragon Group, we signed a confidentiality agreement and were not allowed to talk about the Dragon Group in front of outsiders.
"Leader Qin, I have two friends who are from your investigation bureau system, and I have never joined the investigation bureau, in fact, I don't want to be too sleepy. So......, I can't promise you. ”
"Hey! Don't get sleepy! You can be a consultant of our provincial bureau, you don't have to go to work, you just need to call to notify you if you have something. ”
The police and the military looked at each other, and there seemed to be something in their eyes.
"In fact, if the leader needs help, just ask Wu Huisheng to give me a call. This time I came to help boxing, it was he who called me, just forget about the post! ”
Old man Qin's face was a little unbearable, but there was no way, he couldn't arrest people!
The military and police seemed to see hope and spoke out for me to join them. So all three of them want me? However, I didn't say yes to any of them, which made the atmosphere in the office very awkward for a while.
I said that if the military, the police, or the investigation bureau needed my help, I would definitely help, just call me when the time comes.
Very embarrassed to escape from the office, walked to the tree, the fat man said that the provincial bureau is going to recruit you, right? I nodded and said it was too embarrassing, I'd better go back first!
Then the fat man said that he wanted to take me to the car, and the phone in my pocket rang, and the call was from Jiang Ming.
"Daheng, are you still in Qinzhou? The woman who looks like Gao Qixin, I found it on the Phoenix side. ”
"Is it really Gao Qixin?"
"No, it's Gao Qixin's sister, called Gao Tianyun, who was passed on to Gao Qixin's uncle when she was a child."
"How did you get a stepgirl? Aren't all the adoptives boys? ”
"The uncle of the Gao family has good family conditions, gave birth to four sons, and has always wanted a daughter. And Gao Qixin's family is three girls and one boy, so it is adopted. ”
It turns out that when there are more boys, I want a girl. He said that later the family moved to Shenzhen, where the family opened a processing factory, which was quite wealthy.
Jiang Ming's words surprised me. He said that Gao Tianyun went abroad after graduating from high school, and also participated in the airborne division of the US army for five years, and now he has a green card.
United States? Green card? What does it mean that she will come home and be mixed with the Holy Spirit? Jiang Ming said that after she left the US Airborne Division, she joined the Lande Company and is now a commissioner of the Lande Asia-Pacific Strategic Research Center.
So? So this Gao Tianyun is actually an American spy? He said that a spy was not a spy and that she had a legal identity. However, she has experience in the U.S. military, got a green card and joined Lander, so she has to be careful of this person.
Jiang Ming said that it was found that Mai Wending had appeared in Sichuan, and he had sent a team to ask me if I wanted to go. I said you went with the fat man? He said that the fat man couldn't go, and he would go back in a few days.
Then I'll go over and have a look!
After saying goodbye to the fat man, I took a plane to Shucheng, Sichuan, found the Provincial Investigation Bureau, and simply reported it. Because I was brought in by Jiang Ming, I am an observer sent by Jiangxi, so I belong to the marginal people.
The action team here held a meeting, saying that they had received news from the inside line of the local Pao Brothers' Association, and Mai Minding, who came from Guangnan, had already connected with the upper echelons of the Pao Brothers' Association.
And they were also with a female Asia-Pacific commissioner of the Rand company. But after seeing it once, there was no more news.
So this time, I broke up the action team, worked in groups of three, and went to the various robes to find the territory of the brothers. After the meeting ended, I and two other people were divided into a group and went to Longchi Town in Dujiangyan City.
In the history of Sichuan, there was a saying that 'the lake fills the river'. Sichuan's historical heritage is very deep, and the population has also withered a lot.
When we came to Longchi Town, as soon as we parked, we heard a sad suona sound in the distance. When I looked closely, there was a funeral procession in front of me, carrying the black coffin to this side.
Xiao Wang, who was driving, scolded for bad luck and drove the car into the alley next to him. We got out of the car and watched as the coffin carrying procession passed us. The person who led my group is called Yang Yuze, who came from the capital, and the other one is called Xiao Li.
Yang Yuze took out a pack of cigarettes, shared one for each person, and then said that the dead are the greatest, and we let them go, so we can't collide with them.
Yang Yuze is in his fifties, calm and has few words. So in our group, he is the team leader, and Xiao Wang is a local, the driver and guide. Xiao Li and Yang Yuze are in the same department in the capital.
In the eyes of the Chinese people, 'the dead are the greatest'. When a person dies, everything in the past is written off, and then it is buried in peace. Therefore, when you encounter a funeral procession on the road, no matter who it is, you have to take a detour.
Because the living walk, there are a lot of opportunities, and the dead have this last chance. So respect the deceased, pull over and turn off the engine while driving, and silently wait for the funeral procession to pass by, and then go again.
This is the respect for the deceased, but also a person's conduct, as the old rural saying goes, 'going out and dying is not a life'. That is to say, it is not terrible to go out and encounter a dead person, this is already your life and death.
But when you go out in the morning and see someone on the side of the road giving birth, it may be more unlucky than seeing a coffin, and you should pay attention to your words and deeds on this day, maybe you will quarrel, maybe you will fight.
If the wedding car encounters a funeral procession, if the road is narrow, you should take the initiative to pull over and give way. On the day of the wedding, the bride and groom are also the largest, but in the face of the deceased, the deceased is even greater. Comity will be more beneficial to the bride and groom.
After all, if you only die once, respect the dead, and the living will be more respected. From birth to old age and death, everyone cannot escape the cycle of life and the passing of time.
Watching the long line walk by, we were just about to get into the car, when suddenly we heard a 'bang' sound. When we looked over, it turned out that the rope of the coffin was broken, and the coffin fell to the ground, and the funeral procession was in chaos.
The sound of suona stopped abruptly. There is a saying that 'there is no erhu who does not cry, and there is no soul that suona cannot send away'. This time, the suona really can't be sent away.
We looked in amazement at the distance, the coffin carried by these eight people, and the rope was broken like this, what a long time to see!
As the old saying goes, 'the coffin falls to the ground for reluctance, and the coffin for the fierce coffin to fall to the ground for unwillingness', in the process of funeral, the coffin falls to the ground, no matter what the reason, it is unlucky.
"Let's go! Let's see! Yang Yuze said.
We followed Yang Yuze to the funeral procession. It's already a mess over there, and listening to all kinds of swearing in Sichuan, I want to laugh.
I'm in the Cantonese-speaking area, and occasionally I go north. Usually it is Hakka, Cantonese, and Mandarin. The northern provinces have their own dialects, but they are very similar to Mandarin. And Sichuan dialect is very comfortable to listen to, and I want to laugh when I listen to that tone.
Forgive me for being unkind, I forced myself to walk over with a smile in my breath. Many years later, on the movies, the policemen said that we were professionally trained and generally didn't laugh unless we really couldn't help it.
And I'm one of those who can't help it. Yang Yuze turned around and glanced at me coldly, and I immediately put away my smile.
When I got to the coffin, I glanced at the black coffin, and the funeral procession around me was scolding at the eight coffin bearers.
What 'cut off the brain', 'sieve the car rolling', 'you immortal board', 'you short-lived baby', 'mind my hammer', these scolding and anti-scolding words are really rich.
In the end, an old man scolded a young man, 'You turtle melon baby, black old man jumped.' I heard it next to me and I couldn't help but laugh. Holding his stomach and bending over to laugh, tears came out of his eyes.
In our Guangdong, the words of scolding are not abundant, and they feel uncivilized when they are used to listening to them, but in Sichuan, their words are too nice and full of joy.
So I really couldn't help it, and my laughter caused the displeasure of more than 100 people. When I straightened up and wiped away my tears, I found more than a hundred people glaring at me.
"You laugh shovel!"
"False hammer, get him three."
"Lao Tzu will kill you with one stroke."
The men all yelled at me, and then the young ones stabbed me with the sticks they were carrying the coffin. An old man shouted, don't be stunned! Kill him!
With a hula, more than 100 people chased after me. I dodged the rocks as I ran, followed by a group of old and young masters, and ran a long circle, and the old ones couldn't run, leaving a few young ones chasing me.
Ran around and came back, foaming at the exhaustion of a few young men. The old ones are hiding from the sun on the edge of the flower beds and smoking dry tobacco pots. When they saw me coming back, they looked for mud and stones to hit me.
I flashed and ran up to the coffin, and I heard very faint breathing inside the coffin, and after scanning it with my consciousness, I realized that it was a living person.
A middle-aged man saw me running to the coffin, broke off half of the brick and smashed it, I flashed, 'clang', and the brick hit the lid of the coffin. There was a more noticeable scratching sound from inside.
Now it's not just me who hears it, but everyone else around me hears it, and then there was a commotion. But at noon, no ghosts dared to come out at all. So some young people found something to pry the lid of the coffin.
The funeral procession was no longer interested in me, and the younger ones all helped break the lid of the coffin. The women who wept sadly also stared curiously at the slowly opening gap with wide eyes.
Suddenly, a pale palm protruded from the slit.
The people around me shouted, 'Mom! All of them retreated a few meters, staring at their palms without making a sound, and they were all terrified. As a result, as soon as the big guy let go, the coffin was clamped and the palm was clamped.
There was an 'ah' cry from inside, and it was a young female voice.
Yang Yuze ran over with Xiao Li Xiaowang and helped lift the coffin lid, and the coffin lid fell to the ground with a 'clang'. A pale-faced woman sat up at once. Yang Yuze and Xiao Li Xiaowang were also so frightened that they couldn't help retreating.
This can't be a corpse fraud, right? Or did you turn into a zombie? The people around were talking.
This woman is very beautiful, she is a typical Sichuan girl, she looked around, saw a middle-aged woman, looked at her fixedly, and called 'Mom'.
