Chapter 135: Go to the Grave Mountain Again
My doubts were quickly solved, and after they were solved, it was the real confusion.
But the truth was not told to me by the village chief, and it was only after I was puzzled that the village chief took me to meet the man he wanted me to meet. The person who claimed to be Zhao Xuanhai's brother, named Zhao Xuanhua.
I don't know if it's due to mental reasons, I look at Zhao Xuanhua's appearance, and I do feel that he is a little similar to Zhao Xuanhai. But looking at the clothes between the two of them, it obviously doesn't look like a family.
Zhao Xuanhua is of medium stature, not particularly tall, and the clothes he wears are probably about the same as those of ordinary villagers in our village. But Zhao Xuanhai is obviously fatter than him, slightly shorter, wearing a suit and leather shoes, waiting for us to be in this place...... No, don't talk about our place, in this world when no one is rich and everyone has almost no clothes, his dress is simply standing out from the crowd, too conspicuous, it's hard not to notice.
Although our ancestors told us that we can't judge people by their appearance, everyone knows that it is wrong to only look at clothes and hats and not look at people, but watching people put down dishes is also an unavoidable common problem since ancient times.
Because of my bad impression of Zhao Xuanhai, although I am a brother with Zhao Xuanhai, my attitude towards Zhao Xuanhua, who is dressed more closely to ours, has become polite.
"Brother Zhao, the village chief said that you have something to talk to? What's the matter? Can it be said now? ”
Zhao Xuanhua sighed and said to me, "It's all wronged!" If I can think of today, this dear, don't recognize it! ”
It turns out that Zhao Xuanhai and Zhao Xuanhua are really brothers, but they are not the same father and mother, but the same father.
Half-brothers, one raised at home and the other outside, haven't seen each other for a long time. Once you recognize your relatives, what will happen is probably not to mention that many people can guess it. It's nothing more than a bloody plot that can only be seen in some TV dramas, and it happened to a real person, so it's really called dog blood.
I wasn't very interested in their family's so-called story, but it was when he talked about his father that I got serious.
"A month ago, maybe my dad felt that his health was getting worse and worse, so he thought that while he was still there, let me recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors. Xuan Hai is hostile to me, I know it. But I didn't want to get anything to gain, I just wanted to get my own father back. I didn't pay that much attention at the time, so I agreed. My father also said that let me come to the village and go to the ancestral grave to pay respects and officially recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors. That's what happened a few days ago, my dad told Xuanhai the location of the ancestral grave, he is not in good health, it is really ...... Alas, when Xuanhai heard that he wanted him to bring me, he immediately quit and had a big fight with my father. My dad was in a hurry, so he said that Xuanhai was not his son at all. You also know, that is, the words are rushed, and what is said is just angry words. How could Xuan Hai not be my dad's biological son? They have been together for so many years, don't they have any trust at all? But Xuan Hai was in a hurry, so he had a big fight with my dad at that time, and threatened not to let my dad have a good time. My dad has been really sick since that day and is bedridden. Although the doctor said that he would be fine with a good rest, we all know that I am afraid that time is running out. ”
According to what Zhao Xuanhua said, I can better understand Zhao Xuanhai's strange performance. He's just getting revenge!
He doesn't feel that he is a descendant of the Zhao family, and he doesn't care about the ancestors of the Zhao family, what he wants is revenge, not only against his father, but also against Zhao Xuanhua, who destroyed his originally good family.
Sure enough, Zhao Xuanhua continued: "That night, Xuanhai returned to the hospital to find me, saying that ten days later, he would take me to the ancestral tomb to worship. I thought it was weird at the time, because as my dad said, Xuan Hai is a very extreme and easy person, and it stands to reason that he is not so easy to figure out. But I asked him, and he wouldn't tell me. Immediately after, he left. I didn't know where he had gone at the time, but he had actually come here. ”
"Well, so, you're here to find him?" I asked.
Zhao Xuanhua shook his head at me, "No, I'm here, mainly because my dad told me at noon today that he had a dream." I dreamed that my ancestors blamed him, gave birth to a bastard, and even let my ancestors be displaced and have nowhere to live. My dad was uneasy, so he thought that Xuanhai had done something. I was asked to come to this village to have a look, and it took me a long time to find this place. But the village chief told me that Xuanhai had gone up the mountain early in the morning. I knew that something was wrong, and I had the heart to go up the mountain to look for it, but the village chief said that it was okay with you. ”
It's okay with me? You think too highly of me. I really don't know what you would say about me if I told you that I threw the coffin of your ancestor on the mountain and threw it with Zhao Xuanhai.
But no matter what he says about me, I'm going to make things clear to him. It was still dark, and he still had a chance to do whatever he wanted. By the time dawn tomorrow, it's really too late.
To my surprise, Zhao Xuanhua was actually very calm. After listening to me finish the whole thing, I didn't mean to blame me at all, and I didn't even blame Zhao Xuanhai. All I could hear from his words was self-reproach.
"Little coffin, if it's convenient, can you go up the mountain with me now?"
I'm tempted to say that I'm still hungry, and I really don't want to get involved in your family's affairs.
But after all, I led people to dig out people's coffins from the ancestral grave and moved them to a new place. If I don't go, no one in the village will want to go with him. In that case, if he wants to find a place, he will need the Year of the Monkey!
"Okay, I'll go with you."
When I went out with him, I was just in time for Jiang Yifeng to call me to dinner. Hearing me talk about Zhao Xuanhua and Zhao Xuanhai, he immediately showed vigilance. He pulled me aside and said to me, "The affairs of the Wu family have not been completely dealt with, why did you encounter this kind of thing again?" If you want me to say, it is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, so don't care about them. Why bother? If you can't figure it out, you'll even catch it yourself. ”
I shook my head and said, "It's okay, I'm just going to go." Take him to the place, how their brothers solve it is their own business, and it has nothing to do with me. Rest assured and be back soon! ”
"I really hope it gets what you want." Jiang Yifeng squinted at Zhao Xuanhua when he said this, giving people a look that he was not sincere at all, and he said to me, "This kind of brother is on the wall, anyway, you must be careful." They can even do it to their own brothers, and that Zhao Xuanhai can still do it to their ancestors, such a person, I'm afraid there is nothing that can't be done. Why don't I go with you? ”
"No, I'll just take him there. Save some food for me and I'll be back later. "After I explained to Jiang Yifeng, I took Zhao Xuanhua and walked towards the tomb mountain.
It was late at night, and there was not much light on the way to the grave mountain.
But fortunately, I can't be more familiar with this road, even if I close my eyes and touch it, I won't easily make a mistake.
Zhao Xuanhua stumbled behind me, almost tripping several times, and when he walked to the foot of the tomb mountain, he had become nervous, and he had to stop every two steps to look around. He always felt that some people were following him, and he always felt that a hand would be stretched out in the dark.
I couldn't do anything about his nervous appearance, but fortunately, he didn't mean to back down.
