Spring comes silently and goes fast in the figure of people coming and going in a hurry. In the blink of an eye, two and a half months have passed since the trip to Hanmei Town.

Ran Qin took the frail and sickly Jiang Rong and was properly placed under Zhiqing's careful arrangement.

Zhiqing's body gradually weakened because of this fatigue, and it was not good.

I had a good night's sleep, but my mind was not fully awake. While listening to all kinds of noisy sounds in life on the street, there seemed to be a knock at the door, and he turned his head to listen carefully to the door for a while, and when he was sure that there was a knock, he asked loudly in the direction of the door: "Who?" ”

Someone outside the door replied, "Master Zhong is me." ”

I just came back from City A, and I haven't had a good rest for a few days, so is it possible that someone came to ask for something? Zhong Kui secretly guessed as he put on his clothes.

I got dressed in a slippery way, and I didn't have time to button the last button, so I hurriedly opened the door to see who came to visit so early.

Just opened the door. A pair of rough calloused hands handed over a shoddy cigarette, a layer of sweat floating on his forehead, brushed the beard on his chin, smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together in layers.

Zhong Kui looked at the honest peasant brother and hurriedly let him into the house. After the farmer eldest brother entered the house, he looked a little restrained, and his demeanor became flustered, and he didn't come to the county seat often at first glance.

"Big brother, your surname, you came from afar, right?" While pouring water, he took the initiative to talk. The purpose is to ease the atmosphere and shorten the distance, so that he will not be so cramped and uneasy all the time.

"Don't be expensive, your surname is Lu, you call me Boss Lu."

"How can I call you Big Brother!" Zhong Kui said politely. And hand over a cup of hot tea.

The two sat down, and Zhong Kui tried to squeeze out an apologetic smile and said: "I just returned to the county seat a while ago, and I found the neighborhood committee to implement the property right. There are old people who know me, and they will definitely want me to go to a small gathering. Yesterday, I went alone, drank some wine, and was a little confused, but you just came. ”

"Hi-hi~ Master Zhong, I'm sorry to disturb your dreams." Big Brother seems to have something unspeakable, and he didn't say a positive shape for a long time.

Over time, Zhong Kui became a little impatient. "You're welcome, squeak if you have anything, I've always been so straightforward, how good is it, you say this big man, chirp crookedly like a girl?"

"Okay, then I'll just say it." Big Brother, smiled bitterly and continued: "I won't tell you Master Zhong, this is a scandalous thing, I don't know why I put my old face ......aside," he said, he sighed, and said under the inquiring gaze of the other party: "The bones of my niece and the old girl were stolen by tomb robbers two days ago. ”

"Y-what are you talking about? Grave robbers stealing your niece's bones? Zhong Kui was surprised. looked at Boss Lu seriously, wanting to see if he was joking or something from his face. It is not difficult to see from the guilty face of the other party that he is not joking and fooling people.

"Grave robbers, don't just steal the bones of your niece and old girl! I should have lost other funeral goods. This is Zhong Kui's most basic understanding of tomb robbers, except for stealing the treasures of the tomb, tomb robbers do not seem to be interested in bones.

Boss Lu shook his head seriously and said: "It's strange here, my Lu family, not a rich person, what kind of valuable funeral goods are there?" The simplest thing is a thin bedding and old clothes. But the tomb robbers left all these in the coffin, and only took the bones away. ”

Zhong Kui smiled bitterly, yes, the cemetery was stolen and looked for me. Dare to treat me as Sherlock Holmes, the thought stirred his mind, and he couldn't help but burst out: "Why didn't you report it?" ”

"The government cares about this?" Big Brother stared at Zhong Kui in surprise with cloudy old eyes, and he was embarrassed to see him. The other party's eyes contained a look of condemnation, as if to say: Don't push back, how can I go to the government department for this kind of thing, how can people file a case for me?

Zhong Kui pretended to pick up the teacup, took a sip of tea in disguise, turned his face away, avoided Boss Lu's sharp gaze and said, "You tell me the exact time and place." ”

"The location is Huanggang Village, the time is uncertain. Because when we saw it, only the coffin remained, and the coffin had not yet decayed, but the other contents of it had become moldy and rotten. ”

"What was the day before yesterday?"

"6th, 3rd of week."

"June, 6th, 3rd of the week?" Zhong Kui muttered silently, "Lunar year, lunar month, lunar day." Suddenly, he looked up at Lu Lao Avenue: "Is there a happy event near you?" ”

Boss Lu shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be." Then he looked nervous and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, someone stole your niece's bones and the old girl's bones to celebrate the marriage." Zhong Kui looked at Boss Lu with a solemn expression and asked, "Are you an old girl and a niece who have never been married?" How did they die? ”

As soon as Boss Lu mentioned his hard-working eldest girl and niece by Zhong Kui, he became sad. The cloudy old eyes were damp in an instant, and there was a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.

"The old girl died when she was twelve years old, and I gave the old girl the name casually. You know we don't have much culture, and when a child gets off the ground, he has to take his name and register as soon as he gets off the ground. I couldn't take the name of Wen Crepe, so I casually gave the name of an old girl, and I was in a hurry to use it. Boss Lu wiped a handful of old tears, and the snot flowed out sideways.

Zhong Kui hurriedly handed the tissue and waited for him to continue to speak.

"That year, there was a lot of rain. The ears of wheat that had been left were about to soak in the field, and her mother and I wanted to snatch the ears of wheat back home in the rain. The old girl of our family was also very obedient that day, helping us cook, and sat on the wooden bench obediently alone, sitting without saying a word and waiting for us to go home for dinner. Wait, wait, wait, until we scooped up all the ears of wheat from the field and carried them home, we knew she was sick. He was sent to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, saying that it was tonsillitis that caused the abscess to ulcerate, affecting the respiratory organs and unable to breathe normally. ”

His girl died at the age of twelve, but he was so old. Zhong Kui didn't want to ask the other party's age, so he had to apologize: "I'm sorry for touching your sadness." So how long has it been since your old girl died? ”

"Three years!"

"Oh. So what's going on with your niece? ”

"Niece, alas, are poor babies. She was harmful to her liver and died of a complicated illness for a long time. ”

"How far apart are they from each other?" Zhong Kui suddenly felt like a doctor asking about his condition, and he laughed a little self-deprecatingly and said bitterly: "You can tell me the whole story in one breath, lest I ask one at a time, which is not good for delaying time." ”

"The two of them died half a month apart, and some people say that the feng shui of our ancestors is not good. Alas! Poor child. ”

"Big brother, things have come out, don't be sad. I'll try to help you figure it out. ”

"That's good." Boss Lu was grateful.
