Chapter 5 Maps
I didn't expect that to be the case.
He said he was looking for something, handed down by his ancestors.
But when I asked him what he was, he didn't bother for a long time, and finally he didn't say a fart.
I knew he had concerns, but I thought of a solution in a flash.
Don't you refuse to say it? Then I'll force you to say it.
I smiled at him, and he was a little furious at my laughter.
"It's not just your problem now, you should know that the iron head is dead at your hands."
When he heard me, his eyes bulged out as if his throat had been pinched, and his face turned pale.
You!
He pointed at me, and finally put it down.
Well, I'll tell you the truth.
I smiled and said to him, no busy, no busy, I still have questions for you.
I asked him if he had heard any gunshots that day before Su Xiao and I returned.
He shook his head.
I muttered, damn it, was it really my father who was tinkering that day?
I always had a gut feeling in my heart that even though my father was gone, I felt like he was right there with me, watching everything.
Did I hear this wrong?
I shook my head and suppressed the messy thoughts.
"Is Iron Head a fugitive?"
He nodded, and shook it again.
I don't know what he meant.
"A few years ago, he retired from the army, and then he killed someone after drinking, and I helped him, and he followed me." Dong Tian was puzzled, but still said it.
It turned out that he had been a soldier, so it's no wonder that the tendons and flesh looked so scary.
After figuring out the matter of the iron head, I let out a long breath, and finally understood the origin of these people.
I'd love to find out about my grandfather and the events of that night, but I don't want to be with someone who would dare to kill someone at will.
After all, if I go to college in the future, maybe I will join the party, although these things are not done by me, but they are also a stain on my life.
I didn't think at the time, how ridiculous my idea would seem now, and what happened afterwards changed everything, and if I had a choice, I would have chosen to stay in the village and ignore those things, and maybe I would be able to live an ordinary life.
However, young people are impulsive after all, and there are more curiosity and desire to pursue excitement.
I lay on the clay kang where my grandfather used to lie and listened to Dong Tian's words in my ears.
But they don't know that this place belongs to my dead master, since they don't know, then there is nothing to say, I unknowingly participated in these things, he Dong Tian said at the beginning that it was a hundred yuan a day, and now that he is dead, then I can't be a good person.
I thought, although I don't know if there are ghosts, but maybe my father is watching somewhere at the moment, Dong Tian, Dong Tian, I see how you are still chattering, we are now grasshoppers tied to a rope, and no one can walk.
I made up my mind, my grandfather's death is unknown, my father is inexplicably stupid, what else do I have to scruple about? I can't make a fuss about this matter.
Isn't it just a dead person? He Dong Tian is not afraid, am I afraid of a bird? Big man, people die and birds are facing the sky.
"Tell me, what are you looking for?" I sat up and found Su Xiao sitting alone in the corner, not knowing what he was trying to write.
Looking at this woman, a trace of unbearability flashed in my heart, but then I thought of what she told me that night about my father's words to me, and then I remembered that Su Xiao had joined in unconsciously.
Dong Tian came with her, and now that things have come to this point, no one can escape the involvement.
With this in mind, I felt a lot more relaxed.
It doesn't matter if he's a human or a ghost, let's take a look around.
"My ancestors have a story." When I heard Dong Tian come to such a sentence without a head, I was speechless for a moment.
This Nima, is it great to be educated? I'm inexplicable, but nagging is nagging, I still want to hear what Dong Tian said about this ancestral story.
"I don't know what my ancestors did, but my family has a legacy for generations, to find something." Speaking of this, I interrupted Dong Tian's words.
What are you? Playing dumb riddles, you don't know what to do, what are you looking for?
Dong Tian wasn't angry with me, probably seeing that I was too lazy to meet with me, he just smiled bitterly.
I saw that he didn't pay attention to me, and the boss was not interested, so I shrank back and motioned for him to continue.
"I have a map, the same map I showed you last time, and the clues to the things are there." As he spoke, he took out a yellow map from his bosom, which looked a little broken and shabby.
This is the last time that picture? You're fooling me, aren't you?
When I look at this picture, I'm not happy, fuck, what I just said is good, and this fools me again.
He didn't rise up when he heard my words, and said, "Little brother, where can I show you the real picture when we meet for the first time, and besides, at that time, I said that I would hire you for a hundred yuan a day, which is different from now."
Dong Tian said with a smile.
I was embarrassed to say that, after all, I took his money at that time.
I cursed the old fox in my heart, and I took the picture from him.
What the?
Looking at this picture, I was instantly frozen.
How so? How so? The voice in my heart shouted frantically.
Dong Tian probably saw that something was wrong with me, and quickly shook my arm and asked me what was wrong.
I looked up at him with a bit of bitterness in my mouth.
This picture is not at all the same as the fake picture he showed me last time.
The location is right, it's in Lao Niuwa, but there is a scene in it that makes me creepy.
I didn't speak, just handed him my left hand.
On my left thumb is the jasper wrench.
He didn't understand what I meant.
I pointed to the picture, then gestured to my wrench, and he immediately cried out "ah".
"How so?"
He stared at me in disbelief.
"Where did you get your fingers?"
I glanced at him and said my grandfather left it for me.
This wrench was the one that suddenly appeared on my father's hand on the first seven nights, and that night I saw my father's dry face, the sand falling down his face, and his bloody eyes.
Of course, I didn't tell him that.
My eyes were fixed on the picture, exactly the same, yes, exactly the same.
On the yellow map made of unknown things, the lines outlined, slowly looking at it, are patterns, and the patterns are exactly the same as the jasper wrench in my hand.
How could this be, I don't understand, but Dong Tian and I are completely alone.
What I can't figure out, he can't figure it out.
What is the connection between the two?
Just as Dong Tian and I were staring at each other, I heard a commotion outside.
Then I heard someone howling loudly, and found it, found it, and was on the battlefield.
"Wu Dahu, go quickly, it seems to be dead." Others ran and shouted.
What the?
Dong Tian and I glanced at each other, their faces became ugly, and they got up and hurriedly walked outside.
Someone is dead again!
When we arrived, Shui Sheng was retching on the ground.
I grabbed someone next to me and asked him what was going on, and he told me what was going on.
It turned out that this morning, Brother Shui Sheng came here to dig sand, and it had just rained heavily the day before yesterday, and after the heavy rain, it was a flood.
But for those of us who survive by digging sand, this is a natural disaster.
But there was no way, the two children of the Shui Sheng family were both in school, and the Shui Sheng came to dig the sand as soon as the water stopped.
After arriving at the battlefield, the sand that has just been exposed to the water is relatively soft, but there is also a lot of silt.
There was no choice but to start cleaning up the silt from the surface of the river.
After working for half a morning, I finally cleared out such a distance, and the aquatic began to dig sand, but this digging dug up something.
A blood gourd was dug out, covered in sand, and the aquatic life froze in place on the spot.
After a long time, he struggled to get up, pulled a few times with a shovel, and the blood gourd turned up, face up, and then he saw that it was a person.
This man looked like he was already dead, but he was actually smiling on his face, which made Shui Sheng creepy.
He dropped his things and ran to the village, calling a few men.
After those people followed the aquatic life, they found that the blood gourd had been deformed by the sun, and its whole body was crawling with maggots. Several people in the water immediately vomited.
After vomiting, there was a bold one inside, who endured the churning in his stomach and walked up with a shovel, and suddenly found that this person was familiar, and when he walked in, he collapsed to the ground in fright.
The man's dark face and puffy eyes made everyone see clearly.
Wu ...... Wu...... Big Tiger ...... Tiger! The aquatic creature shuddered.
"How could it be him?" Several others watched in horror at the scene in front of them.
After a while, a few people came to their senses and ran towards the village.
Only then did people know that Wu Dahu died on the sand at the bottom of the river.
When Dong Tian and I came, the people who watched the excitement had already gathered in a circle, and they didn't feel disgusting at all.
We pushed the crowd away and walked in, looking at the mass of flesh lying on the ground, and our hearts were not at all right.
I still remember the night he cried and crawled at my feet to save his brother, but in the blink of an eye it was he who died.
How did Wu Dahu die?
I suddenly remembered in my heart what I was thinking about before I left that day, and I pulled his two brothers together, but I didn't expect something to happen.
Wu Dahu died, and the iron head who went out with Wu Dayou died strangely, so where did Wu Dayou go? Who is the murderer?
I have never had such doubts in my heart, I looked at Dong Tianzhuo, he also had a gloomy face, and his eyes were full of confusion.
At this time, I heard a cry coming from behind the crowd, and then I saw Wu Er's obscene figure appear.
He looked a little embarrassed, and no wonder he had crawled all the way through the sand to get here.
I heard the people behind me say that Wu Er went to the township for a meeting yesterday, and as soon as he came back today, he heard the news that his son's body had been found, and he was immediately speechless in shock, and he trembled and crawled to this battlefield.
Wu Er crawled to Wu Dahu's side, looked at the blur of flesh and blood in front of him, and immediately retched.
After vomiting for a long time, he got up, there seemed to be fire in his eyes, and he glared at Dong Tian viciously, but walked towards me.
I secretly said in my heart that it was not good, this turtle grandson couldn't get Dong Tian and wanted to find me.
Sure enough, Wu Er's eyes were red like a dog in heat, and he walked up to me and pulled the clothes on my chest hard.
"You fucking tell Lao Tzu clearly, how did Lao Tzu's big tiger die? Did you bastard kill you? "Seeing the person in front of me, who was only up to my neck, pulling my breast, I suddenly wanted to laugh.
This Nima, who did I recruit and provoke whom?
Dong Tian couldn't look at it beside him, and walked over to Wu Er and said, he is not to blame for this.
But Wu Er stared at me viciously as if he hadn't heard it.
"You give an honest explanation to Lao Tzu, the explanation is not clear, your family has not had a good life."
Wu Er was still cursing incessantly, but my eyes were red.
Nimabi, let Lao Tzu's family not have a good life? Holy.
I jerked Wu Er away from me, and then kicked him on his stomach.
"Wu Er, grass mud horse, what are you? I'm kind enough to introduce you to a big tiger, he himself was unlucky, he was lost in the heavy rain yesterday, and he died here today, complaining about Lao Tzu? You're trying to kill my whole family? I don't care about you! ”
I scolded him angrily.
Wu Er was kicked back by me a few steps, but I didn't expect that behind her was Wu Dahu's corpse, Wu Er didn't see it and tripped all of a sudden, his back fell to the ground, and he turned over from Wu Dahu's body, and stared at me with a gray face.
He was stunned, he didn't expect me to dare to do anything to him.
It took him a while to react, and he was stained with a lot of Wu Dahu's blood, disgusting.
The crowd laughed loudly.
was looked at like a monkey by everyone, Wu Erdang's face as the village party secretary had never been so red, he couldn't breathe, and fainted on the ground in anger.
Gradually, the lively people dispersed, and the people in his own village who were talking to Wu Er got him back.
As for the corpse of the big tiger, I think Wu Er will deal with it when he wakes up.
I looked at the corpse in front of me with a somewhat pale face.
Dahu was trampled on by his Lao Tzu just now, turned his head, and got up face up.
When I looked at him, it was right in my eyes.
"This ......"
I pulled Dong Tianzhuo's arm and pointed at Dahu's face.
"How...... How could it be...... Such? Dong Tian was also frightened, and his eyes were green.
The face was exactly the same as when the iron head died, full of scratches, skin and flesh turned out, and there was a strange smile, and the eyes were round.
Dong Tian swallowed his saliva and asked me uneasily, "You say, you can't really fuck ghosts, right?" ”
I was glad that it was the first time I had heard such a thing from a big man from the city, and it had been a feeling for many days.
Unconsciously, I already regarded Dong Tian as my own.
At least, the picture in his hand has a connection with the wrench that appeared inexplicably in my hand that I don't know.
When Dong Tian and I went back, Su Xiao was helping my mother cook in the yard, and my mother looked at Su Xiao with a satisfied face.
After coming back from Wan Jiamu this time, Dong Tian and them lived in my house, of course, I gave my mother 200 yuan a day for food, and my mother was also happy.
After all, the family is tense now, and my father can't work.
Looking at the sorrow on my face, Dong Tian pulled me to the corner and whispered to me, you don't have to worry about Wu Dahu, I'll find someone to settle it.
I looked at his face and didn't know why he was helping me, but I knew he could handle it.
After all, he came from outside, and Wu Er didn't dare to touch him.
I listened to what he said and nodded.
At this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside.
Then I saw two brothers from Henan, who I hadn't seen that day, walking in from outside.
I asked Dong Tian what they were doing, and Dong Tian said that he asked him to bring back the corpses of the two iron hands.
But the two brothers had now returned empty-handed, and their faces exuded a fear that I was familiar with.
The fear, like the look on my grandfather's face when I saw it a few nights ago.
