Chapter 601: Wind Burial (11)
Afterwards, Joyce said some more things to Lao Li and Xiao Wang, roughly about Yao Wanmiao, and the three of them chatted for about three or four minutes.
During this time, I listened quietly to their conversation and did not speak.
"Young man, Team Yao gave you three days to prove your innocence, you should be happy, how do you look at your expression, it doesn't seem to be very happy?" The old Li threw his eyes at me and wondered.
I was stunned for a moment and said, "Uncle Li, can I do something else in the past three days?" ”
"What's the matter?" He asked.
"I want to hold a funeral for my wife, she has been dead for a long time, and if she puts it on hold, something may happen." I told him what I was going to do.
"You're crazy!" That Lao Li exclaimed and said: "Team Yao only gave you three days, you must collect evidence to prove your innocence in these three days, how can you have time to do funerals, besides, you can find someone else for funerals, there is no need to handle it yourself, you can collect evidence with peace of mind." ”
"No, her body is a little special, and I don't feel comfortable handing it over to others." I flattened his suggestion to dismiss.
"Young man, I said you're all right, right? You must know that in order to give you three days, Team Yao is very likely to lose the black gauze hat on your head, if you use these three days to do funerals, after three days, you can only spend your life in prison. ”
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, his face sank, and he said, "Boy, what are you talking about, you are doing your wife's funeral, and you are married?" ”
I nodded, didn't speak, just looked in the direction of Chen Tiannan, at this time, he had been helped up by those middle-aged men, his face was a little tired, his limbs seemed to be very weak, he had to rely on the support of those middle-aged men to barely stand up, next to him was Wang Chuyao, her face was pale, her eyes were blank, staring at me in a daze, seeing me looking over, she smiled bitterly at me and shouted: "Brother Jiu!" ”
I nodded, and looked behind them again, and saw some of the original inhabitants of the Ten Thousand Towers standing not far away, pointing in our direction, as for the collapsed half of the Yan Tower, it seemed that no one cared, they just cared about the excitement on my side.
What puzzled me was that in the crowd, I didn't see Su Xiaolin's figure, he didn't seem to be here.
I was stunned for a moment, and without thinking much about it, I walked towards Chen Tiannan and them.
"Boy, you make it clear, what do you mean that you have a wife, what are we little Qiao girls? Little three? "That old Li grabbed my shoulder, his strength was a little strong, and I was a little painful to grab.
I was about to explain, when Joyce spoke, and she said, "Old Uncle Li, you misunderstood, I am just ordinary friends with the Ninth Master, not what you think." ”
"Then you just said he was your man?" Lao Li was stunned for a moment and wondered.
"It was a stopgap measure, I just wanted to save him, and I didn't think much about it." As she said this, she lowered her head, and a flush flashed across her face.
"You girl!" The old Li said angrily, and let go of the arm that was gripping my shoulder.
Then, his attitude towards me cooled down, and he didn't care about me, just asked me not to leave their sight for three days, as for what to do, he didn't ask.
I understood what he meant, he thought I was a couple with Joyce, so he looked at me differently, but now that we are not a couple, his attitude towards me is naturally not as enthusiastic as before.
I didn't care what his attitude was, so I said thank you to them and said a few words of thanks to Joyce.
"Ninth Master, we don't need to say words of thanks. However, are you sure you want to use these three days to do the funeral for Su Su? "Then Joyce stared at me.
I nodded and said, "It's been a while since Meng Kexian died, and if she doesn't have a funeral, she may really have no place to be buried." ”
"Hmm!" She nodded heavily and said, "I respect your choice, and I only hope that you can take a little time to collect evidence to prove your innocence in addition to the funeral." ”
After speaking, she smiled bitterly and turned her head towards the Ten Thousand Towers.
Looking at her back, I felt very bitter in my heart, so I asked her, "Where are you going?" ”
She stopped, didn't look back, and said, "The coffin you asked me to find first, I found it, and put it on the left side of my house, as for what I am going to do, you should know." ”
I didn't understand what she meant, but I understood that Granny Qiao's body had not been disposed of yet, so she must have rushed back to mourn Granny Qiao.
At that moment, I called out to her again, "Miss Qiao, the festival is good." ”
"Thank you, you too!" There was an indescribable indifference in her tone.
This change made me a little stunned, I didn't know why she changed all of a sudden.
That Lao Li seemed to be a little blind, slapped a palm on my shoulder, and said angrily: "Boy, I see that your brain is in, she is fighting for three days of freedom for you, not only do you not collect evidence well, but also do funerals for other women, isn't this looking for a pump, if it were me, I would have slapped you a long time ago." ”
When he said this, it dawned on me that I was ready to call out to Joyce. It occurred to me that even if I called her, what could I do? Regardless of Mengke's funeral, go collect evidence? This is obviously impossible, and the only thing to do now is to let Mengke settle in the ground as soon as possible.
"Why are you still stunned, go chase it!" That old Li pushed me.
"Whew!" I sighed, stopped at him, and said, "I'll explain it later when I have a chance!" ”
As he spoke, I was afraid that he would mention it again, so I hurriedly continued, "I'll go and see how my brother is." ”
After speaking, I walked towards Chen Tiannan and them, Lao Li sighed, and led Xiao Wang to follow me.
When I came to Chen Tiannan, I looked at him and asked, "Tiannan, how do you feel?" Isn't it better? ”
He shook his head, and his voice was very weak, "Brother Jiu, I don't have any big deals, but I'm weak, by the way, what's the matter with those policemen behind you looking for you?" ”
I stopped and said that it was all right, and asked him about the previous incident under the wild goose pagoda, and he told me that he had a very vague memory of that period, and that he felt that something had penetrated into his brain, controlled his central nervous system, and made him unable to move.
I vaguely felt that something was wrong with his answer, and considering his physical condition, I didn't ask any more questions, so I asked him to leave the Ten Thousand Towers earlier.
As soon as Chen Tiannan heard that I asked him to leave, he immediately walked away from the middle-aged man who supported him, and said, "Brother Jiu, I am just weak for a while, and now I am better." ”
As he spoke, he jumped on the spot twice, and because of his weakness, he almost fell, but fortunately, those middle-aged men were quick and helped him.
"Brother Jiu, I... I'm really fine, I'm here to help you. He spoke in a hurry, for fear that I would drive him away.
I thought about it for a moment, Mengke's funeral definitely needs manpower, and these 10,000 towers are all strangers, so they may not help me, so it is better to keep him here. More importantly, there are more than a dozen middle-aged men around him, and leaving him alone is equivalent to leaving more than a dozen helpers, which can better handle Mengke's funeral.
At that moment, I asked him, "Are you sure you're okay?" ”
He immediately nodded and said, "Brother Jiu, I'm really just weak, just rest for a while, let me stay and help you!" ”
I hummed, let him rest for a while, then looked at Wang Chuyao, asked her a few words, she said she was fine, let me be busy with my own business.
Hearing her say this, I put my mind at ease, and began to organize Mengke's funeral, I first asked a few middle-aged men to go to the gate of the Wanwan Pagoda to pick up Lang Gao back, and then led Wang Chuyao and Chen Tiannan to rush towards the tent where Su Mengke was, as for the original residents of the Wanta Tower, I directly ignored their existence.
