Chapter 3 Departure
Early the next morning, the two of us asked Liu Qianshou for leave and drove a private car to the village.
This time, Duchenne was the driver, and the location of the village was relatively remote, and it was the first time I heard of it, so I took out a map while sitting in the car and held it to look at it.
I estimate that we will have at least three hours to drive there, especially in the first half of the road, which is a little easier to walk, and the back is all the dirt roads that were before liberation.
We can't just sit for these three hours, can we? Otherwise, it would be too boring, so I wanted to chat with Duchenne, but Duchenne seemed absent-minded, only humming occasionally and muttering from time to time.
I came up to be curious and asked him what he wanted. Du Xing didn't hide it from me, saying that he was pondering, and when he saw Shi Zongjie, he opened his mouth to say something.
Shi Zongjie is the head of the Family Planning Commission, and we are looking for that person this time. Before we left, I made a point of doing work to Duchenne, and he promised to just ask questions and not use force.
I pointed to myself and said to Du Xing, "Da You, let's do it, you look at me and treat me as Shi Zongjie, if you have anything to say, say it to me first, and I'll check it." ”
I know that Du Xing has a rough mouth, I'm really afraid that he will open his mouth and shut his mouth, it will be too cheap.
Duchen looked at me while driving, he was really able to enter the play, and gradually his eyes changed when he looked at me, and he looked a little cold.
He said, "Is your name Shi Zongjie?" Maybe you don't even know me, but you do? Just because of your words, someone stole my life, changed my soul, and made me still feel like an empty shell, and even I used a mask to be a human being. You're fine, living a leisurely life in the village, but what about me? , who will give me back my wife and children, say! ”
I found that Duchenne's first few sentences were quite literary, but the back changed taste, and it really exploded into foul language, especially when he lost his temper and slapped the steering wheel hard, making the car change direction.
The place we are in now, there are no vehicles, I am not afraid that Duchenne will drive into others, but there are many trees on both sides of the road, and this car is slanted and goes straight to a big tree. This scared me, and I yelled at Duchenne to brake quickly, or we would not crash into a tree and get into an accident.
It was a little late when I called him, and after Duchenne stepped on the brakes, the car slipped forward a little further, and I could hear a bang in the car, but it was lucky, the car hit a tree, only a little touch, not too serious.
But my head was sweating a little, and I realized that it was a mistake to let Duchenne be the driver, so I switched places with him, and I drove the car.
After that, we continued to set off, and I taught Du Xing while driving, asking him to ponder these words again, adjust his mood, and then he must be calm first, everyone is a reasonable person, and Shi Zongjie will definitely realize his mistake.
When we arrived at the village, it was almost noon, I had already summed it up, I drove all morning, we were tired, first find a place to eat something to cushion our stomachs, and then ask the shopkeeper where Shi Zongjie lived.
But looking at this village, I was stunned, because a red cloth was hung at the entrance of the village, and the word "happiness" was also pasted on the trees on the side, which was the rhythm of someone getting married.
It's not like I've never been to such a thing as getting married in the village, and it's the first time I've encountered such a pomp, and I said in my heart whose son or daughter is going to hold a banquet? I suddenly had a guess, Shi Zongjie used to be a member of the Family Planning Commission, how much a cadre, he is still a leader, he must have saved a lot of money in recent years, even if he comes to live in the village, he must be a wealthy local family, this marriage scene and style, don't be his children or anything, then today Du Xing and I are looking for him, it's too dramatic.
It happened that there was an old man squatting at the head of the village smoking, so I wanted to ask him first.
I parked the car, got out of the car with Duchenne, and came to the old man for questioning.
I first called him uncle, and then asked him if he knew Shi Zongjie.
The old man was a lot old, but he was quite a dick, so he didn't pay attention to me at all, and just pointed to the happy word with his finger. My mind was a little confused, and my heart said could I have guessed it?
Duchenne was still messing around, and he suddenly sneered a few times. I had the urge to turn around and leave, thinking that it was really not appropriate to come today, but we couldn't go like this because we had come all the way, it was unrealistic.
When I was struggling, Duchenne said to me, "Let's go into the village and have a look!" ”
After he finished speaking, he still pulled me, and I found that he used so much force that if I didn't keep up with his rhythm, he would have dragged me away.
We don't know exactly which family got married, but it's not difficult to find the past, this village is not very big, many villagers go to the banquet, we go to the place where there are many people.
When I came to the place where the banquet was held, I saw that there were two account tables at the door of this house, and there were three men standing at the door.
Just looking at this style of receiving red envelopes, I feel more and more that this wedding banquet is from Shi Zongjie's family. Duchenne and I weren't in a hurry to get in, we discussed, should we wait a while? Or stuff red envelopes in and find someone while eating?
Du Xing suggested going to eat first, but he was very ruthless, and said that there was no need to give the money, and then we would write a fake name and quietly hand over the empty red envelope.
I know that he is angry with Shi Zongjie, but no matter what he says, people are happy today, and we have to give some meaning when we eat his meal.
I persuaded Du Xing for a while, and finally he compromised, and the two of us wrapped a red envelope of 100 yuan, to be honest, this money is a bit small, and it makes people laugh at it, but then again, we haven't had anything with him, and we won't give him a letter if we have anything in the future, and this 100 yuan is really used as food money.
The two of us went in smoothly and sat down at a random table with people. When Duchenne came here, his face was a little unsightly, I was afraid that he would do something bad, so I asked him not to speak, and I went to inquire first.
I sat next to an old lady, and I took the opportunity to ask her, what is the name of the bride and groom this time? I am a distant relative of the man, all of whom were called by the elders, and I have never been in touch before, and I am not familiar with my peers.
The old ladies were very enthusiastic and introduced me that the man's name was Peng Jinxin and the woman's name was Li Yanbin.
I was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said in my heart Look at the surname, what is the matter with Shi Zongjie? What is the old man at the entrance of the village pointing to the word Xi? Don't say he's just an old tease, deliberately soaking the two of us? Wouldn't we be at a loss?
I hurriedly answered and asked who Shi Zongjie was?
The ladies pointed to a man in the distance who was trying Mike and said, "That's him, the supporter of this wedding." ”
I sighed in my heart, and said that this matter is not too bald, at least Shi Zongjie is also present. Du Xing has been chatting with us all the time, and I don't need to say more, he also knows that Shi Zongjie.
I talked a few more nonsense with the old sisters, anyway, there was a tentative word in the three gossips, and it didn't take long to touch Shi Zongjie's foundation.
He has been in this village for seven or eight years, and his reputation is very good, especially because he has ink in his stomach, and he can participate in all the big and small affairs of other people's families, be a host, or write and do a planner or something.
Now that he is about to officiate at the wedding, Du Xing and I did not look for him, we had a big meal, and then withdrew in advance, found Shi Zongjie's home according to the address, and waited far away.
I calculated that since he was the host, even if the wedding was over, he would have to stay with the two families for a while, and he would not be in such a hurry to come back, so we were not in a hurry.
But the two of us really didn't wait, it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, when Zong Jie appeared in a leisurely manner, when he saw that he didn't drink less, his face was flushed, and he opened his own door and grinded for a long time.
Duchenne made a look at me, and he was going to take me to his house. But I got ahead of him, and I made up my mind that I would call the door.
I slammed it for a long time before Shi Zongjie opened the door. But after he glanced at the two of us, he frowned, and said to us in a tone with a big tongue that had drunk too much, "You, you, who are you?" ”
This stopped me, I was thinking about stopping Du Xing just now, but I didn't expect to speak, I didn't have a holiday with Shi Zongjie at all, I said that my name was Li Feng and I wanted to find him, and it didn't seem to be that thing.
Duchenne wanted to go in, but I blocked the front, and he finally got impatient and dragged me, so that the two of us suddenly changed positions.
Shi Zongjie was staring at me, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, there was a different person in front of him, and he was so frightened.
Du Xing didn't care about that, pushed with both hands, got Shi Zongjie into the house, and asked me to close the door.
Shi Zongjie's head was a little heavy, he thought that we were not good people, so he opened his throat and yelled, asking what the hell are we going to do?
I felt that this scene was a little out of control, so I told Dayou to be calm.
Du Xing didn't reply to me, but he also listened to my opinion, he closed his eyes and was silent for a few seconds, then walked up to Shi Zongjie and said, "My name is Du Xing, a native of Montenegro, I used to be a school gunner in the army, I won't say anything about it, can you have an impression?" ”
I paid attention to the changes in Shi Zongjie, when Du Xing reported his name, he was obviously excited, and his red face turned a little white, but when Du Xing finished speaking, he took out a confused look and replied, "How do I know you?" What does it have to do with me where you are a soldier? ”
Then he pointed to the door, took out his mobile phone and said, "This is my house, what do you mean by trespassing?" To go or not to go? If you don't leave again, I'll call someone? ”
Duchenne and I didn't move, so I made a point of mentioning it and asking him not to call yet, we did have something to look for him.
But I found out that I was so easy to talk and discuss, and he really didn't listen, especially because I had a good temper, and he was also tricky. We happened to be next to a table, and he slapped it against it and said to me, "What are you doing?" Yes? Burglary? I'm calling the police. ”
After he finished speaking, he pressed 110, but before he could dial it out, Du Xing couldn't hold back any longer, snatched his phone, and slapped Shi Zongjie's cheek with a big mouth.
It's so loud that I can hear it and my ears itch. But Shi Zongjie had a fat face and resisted beating, so he didn't do anything to him this time.
It's just that he was scared, especially when he saw the murderous aura in Du Xing's eyes, he was so frightened that he covered his face and suddenly said, "Du Dawolf, you wait, that matter has nothing to do with me!" ”
