Chapter 33: The Origin of Cause and Effect

In response to the last moment of Zhu Erbai's orders, Hong Shixian did not send Zhu Erbai's body to be cremated in accordance with the corresponding national policy. Instead, he went to the village early in the morning and hired a carpenter with good skills to order a good coffin.

During this period, Chen Jianhong asked him many times about him and Zhu Erbai, except for the Red Guards who raided their homes. What kind of big thing happened that made Zhu Erbai desperately kill so many lives for revenge.

However, whenever Hong Shixian encountered such a general question, he just fell into endless contemplation, and at the same time, his mouth could not stop lamenting.

Chen Jianhong was also distressed at this time, this was the first time that his master let himself go down the mountain to do errands, not to mention the mess, and it was right under his nose, causing so many innocent lives.

That night, Hun Sen seemed to be in a much better state of sleep, and there was no strange thing about sleepwalking in the middle of the night as usual. Zhu Erbai's body was covered with a white cloth and lay flat on a mat in the main hall. The door of the house was wide open, and in the courtyard, the three people who had been busy all day were smoking cigarettes sadly because of their own trivial matters.

"Village Chief Hong, everything is ready now, I only owe a good coffin to bury Uncle Zhu, so you also asked me and my junior brother to help with things. The ins and outs are not explained clearly, so how can we be embarrassed! With the extinguishing of the cigarette butt, it was also due to the strong curiosity, and with some of the rules that Shumen should have, Chen Jianhong didn't know how many times he asked Hong Shixian, who was hiding some things.

At this time, Hong Shixian was suddenly stunned, turned his head and glanced at Chen Jianhong, and his already sad face was furrowed with a deep brow.

"It all started decades ago......

In that turbulent era, Zhu Liangbai, who had just lost his father, almost reached the peak of despair in his heart. There was no hope of living for a long time, but at the moment when Zhu Erbai was about to hang himself. An eighteen or nineteen-year-old man stopped him in time.

This person is none other than Hong Shixian when he was young. After a long period of persuasion, Zhu Liangbai reluctantly gave up the idea of committing suicide.

Zhu Erbai also understood that his father was wronged, and the most reassuring thing at the moment when he was captured by the Red Guards was naturally his most beloved son. If he dies like this, if one day his father's case is rehabilitated and he returns home and sees such a scene, then what kind of feeling his father's heart will feel is at least a thousand times more painful than his current one.

Even though my heart is extremely sad, I hold on to that faint hope. Life still has to go on. With the help of Hong Shixian, Zhu Erbai hid in the mountains and secretly cultivated one or two acres of land in the depths of the mountains to maintain his life.

Two years passed like this, and the results of the father of hybrid rice in the world had not yet been successfully studied. In addition, the turmoil of the times has led to a decline in productivity. Occasionally, a natural disaster can drastically reduce food production. Therefore, the problem of food shortage has long been commonplace, and people will starve to death and freeze to death in many places. Of course, Hongcun is also one of them.

On a snowy night, Hong Shixian was about to lie down to sleep when he suddenly heard a crash from the courtyard door of his house. It's also very confusing to think about it, such a cold weather. Knocking on the door in the middle of the night is naturally a very important urgency. simply got up and went to open the door, but the moment the courtyard door opened, Hong Shixian's expression couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw a woman shivering in the cold wind in front of the courtyard gate. Judging by her appearance and dress, this young woman obviously did not look like a villager in Hong Village, but as if she had fled from other places. After all, such a thing is also common sense in this thought.

Thinking about it, this is also a living human life, not to mention that Hong Shixian himself is a somewhat kind-hearted person, so naturally he will not treat this young woman as a human being like this. So he hurriedly carried her into the stove in the house, let his wife boil a bowl of ginger soup, and let her take it.

Perhaps the carpenter was older and more skilled. Or maybe Hong Shixian gave a richer reward. It took only a day or two of hard work, and a good coffin was placed in the courtyard of Hong Shixian's house.

Because Hong Shixian claimed to the outside world that the deceased person was his brother Zhu Erbai, who had been living in the mountains before his death, because in recent days, Hong Shixian has been going into the mountains to look for his elderly wife who has been missing for a long time, and stumbled upon Zhu Erbai, who had fallen on the road down the mountain and was dying. When Hong Shixian gave up half of his old life and carried him home, he didn't have time to go to the village clinic to ask for a doctor. only to find that Zhu Erbai at this time had already lost a trace of breath.

Maybe it's Hong Shixian, the village head, who usually has some prestige in the village, and most of the villagers in the village still choose to believe his words, even if there are a few people who will whisper behind them, but they are not related to Zhu Erbai, and they don't even have a little impression. I can't offend the village chief who is the last popular person in the village because of such a person who can't be beaten with eight poles.

A few days later, Zhu Erbai was submerged in the loess under the leadership of Chen Jianhong, if according to common sense, people with Zhu Erbai's experience will generally have some heavy resentment after death. They do not follow the normal procedure to be reincarnated, but constantly make trouble with the people who were in their lifetime.

However, it was unusually smooth in between. This made Xingyuan and Chen Jianhong feel very gratified. Perhaps there are Chen Jianhong and Xingyuan, two small heavenly masters who claim to be disciples of the Heavenly Master, who are sitting here, and he doesn't dare to make too many mistakes because of his lack of ability. After all, the news of their son and daughter is firmly in their hands. There's no need to really make a fish die!

Or when he and Hong Shixian were young, they were friends who burned incense in front of the emperor's earth, and what they did in the past few months has already made Hong Shixian's home a chicken, flying and jumping, after all, Hong Shixian's wife also passed away because of himself during this period. Thinking about it, all the injuries he had suffered were returned to Hong Shixian's body.
