Chapter 217 Bloody Heart
As the car drove into a fork in the road, the road became more and more difficult to walk, and it was obvious that it was driving in the direction of the mountain. I've never been to this place before, and I got lost after sitting in the car for a while. I estimate that Yuan Sihai and his buddies have never been here, and I'm afraid that He Baoban will play some tricks in the middle.
However, the big fat man looked at He Bao very tightly, and as soon as He Bao opened his mouth to speak, the big fat man stretched out an arm thicker than He Bao's legs and put it on He Bao's shoulder. He Bao is afraid of the big fat man to death, I estimate that after this time, He Bao will never want to have any intersection with the fat man again in his life.
I could vaguely see that the car had probably been heading in the direction of the west, and when I passed by a village, He Bao reminded me that if I went any further, it would be completely deserted, and there would be no place to buy water and food.
I asked the driver to stop at a small shop at the entrance of the village, and then got out of the car to buy a case of water and a lot of bread. When I paid the money, I chatted with the boss for a few words, He Bao didn't lie this time, the boss said that after this village, it was indeed deserted.
I gave them water and food, and He Bao said that he was hungry all the way, and he didn't want to eat it when he brought it. The fat man glanced at He Bao while stuffing bread into his mouth, and He Bao was frightened and devoured two loaves of bread.
At this time, it was already dark, and the driver turned on the high beam to facilitate He Bao to recognize the road. I'm worried that He Bao will use the excuse that he can't see the road clearly, and he will say this and that, but although the road he is walking now is rugged and difficult, it is not complicated, just such a road, and there is no place to turn.
After walking for a while, there was a fork in the road. The driver slowed down and asked Ho Po which way to go.
"You'll talk about it when you're ready." The big fat man crunched the empty water bottle.
"Right." He Bao swallowed his saliva and said without thinking, "The one on the right." ”
The path on the right is even more difficult to walk, and He Bao told me that if you go forward for a maximum of one kilometer, the car will not be able to drive in, and you need to walk.
Sure enough, after the car drove into the car for a kilometer, it was difficult to move an inch. I said hello to Yuan Sihai, leaving one person to watch the car, and the rest went into the mountains.
He Bao led us inside, and the path was hardly a road. This is more in line with their business rules, people who do this business, taboo to take the big road, the more remote the road is better, even if sometimes detours, but also to ensure confidentiality and security.
"How long do you have to walk?" I looked at the scene, it was still very unfamiliar, I had never been to this place before.
"An hour and a half, if you go fast." He Bao was stared at by the big fat man without a little temper, and probably knew that it was useless to play tricks again, so he simply was honest and had something to say.
This is not a small road, but it is also very smooth, and it is not used to turn back in the middle, just follow it. Along the way, He Bao kept talking to me, anyway, he meant that he was afraid that a few of us would poach the things and not give him money.
After about an hour of walking, the trail forked. Before he reached the intersection, He Bao said, next turn on the road to the north, and in another half an hour, you can reach the destination.
When I walked to this faint crossroads, my eyes were stunned. Since He Bao took us on the road, I have been distinguishing the surrounding scenery, such a long way to walk, the surrounding scenery is very strange to me, but it is at this crossroads, I suddenly feel that a kind of familiarity sprouts from my heart.
The fat man dragged He Bao and led the way in front, my pace slowed down involuntarily, and when I actually walked on the road heading north, my brain suddenly dizzy.
This place?
"What, uncomfortable?" Yuan Sihai saw me stunned in place, so he turned around and asked, "If it doesn't work, rest here." ”
"No, it's not uncomfortable......" I came back to my senses, and the more I looked around me, the more surprised I became.
Although I haven't walked the road before, this road facing north is really not unfamiliar to me. If I'm not mistaken, a long time ago, I followed my father to the ancestral grave, and this is the way I walked.
Walking along this road to the inside, there is a small village in the mountains, and the small village probably stopped living after the liberation, and everyone moved to the village outside the mountain. But there are still some houses left in the small village, which may not be much for the young people, but for those who are older, the old village in the mountains is the place where they have lived all their lives.
There are cemeteries in our village, but the real ancestral graves are in the mountains. I heard my father say that before my grandfather died, he specifically instructed him to bury him back to his ancestral grave.
I have been to the ancestral grave three times, all of which were more than ten years ago, and when I came to the city, my father did not force me to go to the ancestral grave, and basically he went by himself.
Although I have not been to the ancestral grave many times, I still remember this road. In the past, my father took me to the grave, and I took another way up the mountain, so I didn't recognize it until I got here.
As soon as I recognized the road here, I was anxious, there could not be so many villages in this mountain, He Bao ran here to dig graves, most of them were graves in our old village.
At this moment, I had the idea of smoking He Bao, but I had to let him lead the way, and I would talk about it when the situation was completely confirmed.
He Bao didn't know what I was thinking, and tried to talk to the big fat man in front. He Bao asked ten sentences, and the big fat man replied with a sentence depending on his mood.
I was a little confused, half an hour away, and I didn't know what I was thinking. At this time, He Bao took a turn in front of him.
I remember that there was a cornfield that had not been cultivated for a long time, and the villagers in the mountains did not pay much attention to it, and generally when they were buried, they symbolically found a half-hung immortal to come and see, and then chose a suitable place to bury. The graves in the old village are not in the same place, some are behind the village, and some are simply at the head of the ridge.
I will never forget that my father used to bring me to the grave of my ancestors, and it was this deserted cornfield that I walked through.
"Right ahead." He Bao pointed over there.
In the distance, I saw several old graves that were almost unrecognizable, and the heads of the old graves were almost washed out by the rain or something. As soon as my father died, there was no one to take care of the old grave, it was barren, and there were patches of weeds around it.
Soon, under the leadership of He Bao, everyone walked to the old tombs that were no longer recognizable. There has been no rain these days, and no one will come to such a deep mountain wasteland, so as soon as you walk up, you can see that the traces of an old grave being dug up are very new.
My head suddenly grew bigger, and this old tomb was at the very edge, it was my grandfather's grave. The remaining ones are grandfathers and grandfathers, and they have not been passive.
"This is it." He Bao felt that he had a meritorious role in leading the way, and as soon as he led us to the place, he ran to Yuan Sihai, and said with grinning teeth: "Mr. Yuan, look at this price, shall we talk about it first?" ”
I was dizzy, but in the blink of an eye, I turned into anger, ran to He Bao, pointed to the old grave that had just been backfilled, and asked, "This is the grave you dug up?" ”
"It's like a fake." He Bao saw me angry, and thought that I suspected him of lying, so he hurriedly patted his chest and assured me: "I will never tell a lie, now I dig up, and I can still see what I didn't take last time......"
"Get out!" I really couldn't help it, I couldn't help but raise my arm involuntarily, wanting to slap He Bao, but when my hand was raised, I felt that it was too embarrassing to whip him, and said to the big fat man in annoyance: "Give him to me first!" ”
The big fat man was also dizzy this time, I don't know what He Bao did wrong, but the fat man is a good guy who obeys orders, as soon as I spoke, he was flustered, and then dragged He Bao, dragging him to the other side of the ridge in one breath.
"Why did you get angry all of a sudden?" Yuan Sihai walked up to me and said, "First dissipate your anger, do you see something wrong?" Think He Bao is lying? It's easy, man, here, tell them to dig it up and see? ”
"Lao Yuan, when you called me, you said that this was a coincidence, and I now think that it is indeed a coincidence." I smoked hard, and I had cursed the eighteenth generation of He Bao's ancestors in my heart: "This horse is my family's ancestral grave!" ”
"This!" Yuan Sihai didn't react for a moment, his mouth opened slightly, and he looked very surprised and surprised: "Yes?" Is it your family? Graves? ”
The Chinese pay the most attention to this, and sometimes they scold people fiercely, and they will say whose ancestral grave they dig. Although I am not a very traditional person, I grew up in this environment and customs, and my ancestral grave was dug up, and the fire in my heart was really uncontrollable.
Yuan Sihai couldn't speak, and he didn't know how to persuade him, the big fat man didn't know how to fix He Bao over there, so he heard He Bao's plea.
I smoked two cigarettes in a row, and Yuan Sihai didn't say a word next to me. When I put out the cigarette and took a heavy breath, he whispered, "I don't think this matter is a bit ...... What a coincidence? He Bao, put it aside for a while, he definitely doesn't know that this is your family's grave, if he knows, he won't come to me to ship the goods if he kills him. ”
My mind was a little messy, but my mind was still clear. If it was just He Bao who brought a bronze head, then the coincidence of this matter was still within my acceptable range, but now it involves my family's ancestral grave, I don't think it's right.
He Bao himself said that he didn't know that this place was sold to him by one of his peers, and he came according to the route and location provided by his peers. Before I came here, I thought that his peer was just a trivial matter and there was no need to delve into it, but now, this peer has become the focus.
Who is He Bao's companion? How did he know that my family's ancestral tomb was here, and how did he know that there was a bronze statue in the ancestral tomb?
