Chapter 16: Uncle Buries the Body

The death of Brother Hanzi hit my uncle a lot, and then the death of my aunt made him completely fall into a trough. I went to see him during this time, and he had a stubble all over his face and had lost weight several times. When I asked him what to say, he didn't say anything, just took a sip of the stuffy wine.

I persuaded him at the time, but it was useless to say anything, he said, he is like this, there is no point in living, let me leave him alone.

So, at this time, I was a little surprised to see the uncle standing at the entrance of the village.

After seeing me, my uncle immediately greeted me.

It hasn't been a long time since the uncle had a series of accidents, but he has already lost a terrible amount of weight, his cheekbones are protruding, his stubble is still stained with wine, he smells of alcohol, he can't hold half a cigarette in his hand, and his hands are constantly trembling.

"A baby, the old grave slope can't be sold!" Uncle speaks weakly.

Actually, I can basically guess that the uncle is waiting for me at the entrance of the village, and this is what he has to say. After thinking about it carefully, could it be that my uncle knew the secret of the old grave, I immediately asked him, but he shook his head and said that he didn't know any secrets, saying that my aunt and Brother Hanzi had only been buried for a long time, and the grave could not be moved.

I told my uncle that I came back for this, but I don't have a clue here, after all, there are so many people in the village, if even most of the Lin family agrees, I really don't know how to stop them from selling the old tomb. After all, the old grave slope is not unique to our family.

After listening to this, my uncle took a deep puff, threw away half of the cigarette, and said, "Yiwa, you don't care about this, just leave it to me...... Remember, take care of your grandpa! ”

Uncle left after speaking, he couldn't walk steadily, how could he stop them?

"Uncle, what are you going to do?" I asked.

Uncle didn't look back, he waved his hand and said, "I have my own way, if you want to say it, it won't work!" ”

I wanted to catch up with him and ask him, but I knew I couldn't. Because I understand the uncle, he is very boring, and he doesn't want to say things, unless my aunt, no one can ask.

When the uncle walked away, Er Pang and I went to the village brigade courtyard. I was thinking all the way, what is Uncle's method? He's alone, he's not my grandfather's kind of person, can he really handle it?

In the courtyard of the brigade, many people were already signing and pressing their fingerprints.

Ma Weiguo was over there, proud, and when he saw me coming, Ma Weiguo immediately came over and said, "Oh, a baby is here, you see that our village has finally ushered in a great joy after so many years." I'm still looking for you just now, everyone has already signed and staked, and you're left with your family, come on, big pieces of gold, lie down and earn! ”

"Can you do this kind of thing?" I glared at Ma Weiguo and asked rhetorically.

The expression on Ma Weiguo's face froze instantly.

However, half a minute later, he immediately put on a smiling face again and continued: "Haha...... can understand, can understand, after all, your grandfather is an old feudal, you follow him to be exposed to it, and it is understandable to be afraid of this kind of thing. ”

"It's only been a few days since my cousin-in-law's incident, have you forgotten? Do you want to kill the whole village? I continued to ask, and the villagers were all looking at me, apparently they were concerned about it as well. After all, if you have a life to take money, you have to have a life to spend it.

"Lin Yi, don't fucking give a shame! Such a master is here, your cousin-in-law's affairs don't count! Ma Weiguo was furious.

I ignored Ma Weiguo and glanced into the room. There were a lot of Taoist priests sitting in the room over there, they were all wearing gray-black Taoist robes, and there were all kinds of nuts on the table, walnuts and melon seeds, and the husks were thrown to the ground, and they were a mess. When I looked over, several Taoist priests also glanced at me, and their eyes met, and I saw that they all looked like thieves, which was completely different from the feeling I had when I saw the Lord of Tsing Yi.

I think that Taoists should have the temperament of Taoists, and these Taoists are not serious people, but they are probably a bunch of fake Taoists.

"Hmph, it's just a bunch of liars!" I said.

Unexpectedly, these words suddenly angered Ma Weiguo, and he yelled at me: "What are you talking about? The price paid by the Taoist masters is enough for every family in our village to eat and drink for a lifetime! ”

Actually, Ma Weiguo's words are true, after all, I have also seen that as long as someone signs and draws a pledge, you can receive two gold ingots the size of a child's fist.

Golden, indeed very tempting.

However, I also noticed that the paper used for the signature and drawing was made of yellow paper, which made me feel a little strange.

At this time, I remembered what Mrs. Wang said, I thought it was impossible for her to lie to me, she said that moving graves would kill all the villagers, and I believed that what she said was true.

Since there is no way to convince them, they have to find a way to stop them. I made eye contact with Er Fat, and the two of them rushed up directly to grab those yellow paper agreements.

It's a pity that Ma Weiguo has a lot of people under him, and he controlled the two of us at once. Ma Weiguo grabbed my neckline, and without saying a word, he was about to smash it down with a fist.

But just as the fist was about to hit me, a man appeared in front of me and blocked it for me.

Ma Weiguo's fist was particularly ruthless, smashing into the corner of my uncle's mouth, and with a bang, the uncle stumbled. The uncle raised his hand and wiped it, and blood oozed out. However, he still squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Captain Ma, they are young and vigorous and not very sensible, don't worry about him." The matter of moving the grave, our family agrees, we all agree, don't worry, I will go to sign and draw the pledge later! ”

"Uncle!"

"Shut up!" Uncle turned around and glared at me with an extremely complicated expression.

Then, my uncle really went to draw a charge, pressed his handprint, and took two gold ingots, put them in his pocket, and left without paying any attention to me.

In addition, what makes me even more puzzled is that there are many people surnamed Lin in the village, especially some of the older ones, Ma Weiguo can't handle it himself, they don't agree to move the grave, my uncle actually began to lobby one by one, persuading them to press the handprint and agree to move the grave.

Or soft grinding and hard foaming, or sending rice, oil and money, all kinds of means are exhausted. Those who didn't agree to move the graves were all dealt with by my uncle within three days.

I went to talk to my uncle, but he didn't see me.

During this time, he also went to the town and bought new clothes, new shoes, and people dressed like dogs. This makes me feel that Uncle seems to have changed, and he is no longer the same person he used to be.

What the uncle did was to help Ma Weiguo solve the difficulties in his heart. Ma Weiguo was very happy, and even announced on the loudspeaker of the village committee that he had given my uncle the title of advanced pacesetter, and even gave my uncle a lot of bonuses.

Zhang Bang commended, this grave relocation plan will benefit the village, my uncle's first contribution!

One afternoon, I bumped into my uncle halfway through the village, carrying a big bag and a hoe. I tried to persuade him again, but he sneered and said that I would not have to work in vain. I asked him if he said that the grave could not be moved, and asked me to leave the matter to him. Why would he do that now?

The uncle still smiled and said, the people are gone, and it is just a handful of loess for a long time, and the dead people make a fortune for the living, which can be regarded as the last role, otherwise what is the use of occupying the old grave slope?

I didn't expect my uncle to say that, I was very angry and speechless.

I really can't accept how honest and steady my uncle used to be, and suddenly he became like this. I'm wondering, did he go through something, or did Ma Weiguo secretly threaten him?

However, no matter how I asked him, he wouldn't say. He also said that he was voluntary, people have to live freely, he was managed by others in the first half of his life, he lived aggrieved, like a dog, and in the second half of his life he had to live according to his own ideas, he wanted to live happily.

I really don't have much more to say about that.

The bag on his shoulder was very heavy and he didn't know what it contained, so I asked him and he said nothing. After the uncle left, I pretended to go back with the second fat, and then quietly followed my uncle on a detour. Following the uncle, he walked four or five miles into the remote mountains until he arrived at a rarely visited mountain forest.

He looked around for a moment before he put the bag down, dug a big hole in the woods, and buried the heavy bag of hemp.

After burying it, he silently said a few more words, I was too far away from Er Fat, and I couldn't hear it clearly. After my uncle was far away, I went over with Erpang and prepared to dig the big pit.

The second fat was a little scared, and he said, "Boss, your uncle won't kill people, will there be dead people here?" ”

I was also a little flustered by what he said, after all, I had this kind of suspicion too. Carrying a sack and finding a remote place to bury it is too much in line with the practice of killing people and destroying evidence.

I took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Whatever he is, open it up and see first." ”

When the sack opened, I was stunned.

"Fuck...... What the hell is ......" The second fat man couldn't say anything at all.

The bag contained not dead people at all, but a large pile of cat corpses. There are so many cat corpses, not to mention dozens of them, I'm afraid that all the cats in our entire Laojieling Village are already here, right?

Most of those cats died miserably, and after a few more glances, the second fat squatted aside and retched. I immediately sealed the sack and re-buried the pit.

Why did Uncle kill all the cats in the village?

It's also weird.

After the second fat retched, he seemed to have been thinking about something, I asked him, he thought about it again, and said, "Boss, have you ever thought about what is most afraid of cats?" ”

Without even thinking about it, I said, "Of course it's a mouse." ”

"Yes, Boss. The cats in the whole village were killed, and that was a great thing for the rats in the village. If you say so, your uncle is doing this to help the rats in our village! This is Erfat's reasoning, which sounds completely nonsensical, but it seems to be pointed.

"Boss, do you feel that something is wrong with those Taoist priests who came to our village?" Erfat asked again.

When Er Fat said this, I feel the same way.
