"What's wrong?" I asked Lang Gao with a puzzled face, I was very curious about what was said on the phone.

He didn't answer me, his face became more and more ugly, and in the end, he hung up the phone and threw the phone directly on the ground, roaring angrily: "How can there be such a vicious son in the world." ”

His roar silenced the scene, and everyone looked at him suspiciously, waiting for him to speak.

After waiting for about three minutes, I asked Lang Gao what had happened, and he took a few deep breaths and said, "The murderer who let the cleaner eat my uncle has been found." ”

"Who?" I asked.

He exhaled a few breaths again, glanced at Li Hazi's grave, and said, "Li Jianguo of the three brothers of the Li family." ”

As soon as these words came out, insults spread in the cemetery, and Li Hazi's daughter-in-law was even worse, kneeling on the grave with her son in her arms, crying and scolding: "Li Jianguo, who has been stabbed a thousand times, my old man has no grievances with him in the past, and he has no enmity recently, how can he ruthlessly let the scavenger eat my old man's body." ”

I was a little suspicious in my heart, and I heard Li Jianguo's second brother Li Jianmin say that their family does not have much hatred for Li Hazi, so that after people die, they will let the scavengers gnaw on the corpse, which doesn't make sense.

So, I asked Lang Gao, what do you say about the results of the investigation? He explained to me with a calm face.

It turned out that the truth of the matter was that the three brothers of the Li family, the eldest Li Jiandang, the second Li Jianmin, and the third Li Jianguo were not biological brothers, and Li Jianguo was picked up in the field in his early years.

On weekdays, Li Huoda (the father of the three brothers of the Li family) treats these three brothers equally, and does not distinguish between biological and righteous raising, in the eyes of outsiders, Li Huoda loves Li Jianguo more than his own son.

But in Li Jianguo's view, this is not the case, he thinks that he is raised by righteousness, there is no blood relationship, Li Huoda must prefer his own son, once people have this idea, they will look at things differently, and this idea has been suppressed until a month before Li Huoda was born.

That night, Li Jianguo was having dinner, and Li Huoda led the eldest and second child in, saying that it was to allocate a house.

Li Jianguo was overjoyed, the problem of housing had plagued him for many years, his father was also a figure when he was young, saved a lot of money, and built three houses for their three brothers in the village, because of limited economic ability, the size of these three houses is somewhat different, the first house has five rooms, the second house has three rooms, and the third house has only two rooms.

The three brothers all wanted to live in the largest house, and they quarreled about this for many years, but they didn't quarrel for a reason, and in the end, they had to allocate the house according to the order of marriage.

In the first few years, Li Jianguo did not feel wrong, and later with the increase in the population of his family, he began to be angry in his heart, in terms of population, his family has six people, is the most populous of the three brothers, logically speaking, he should live in the first house, but it can be distributed according to the order of marriage, but the house he got is the smallest, and the six people living in it seem a little crowded, usually his daughter-in-law did not bury him less on this matter.

Now when he heard that the house was going to be redistributed, Li Jianguo was full of joy, and hurriedly invited them in, pouring tea and serving fruits, and shouting one by one, not to mention how cordial it was.

Several people discussed, and finally decided to draw the length of the house to allocate the house, as the so-called hope is greater, the greater the disappointment, who knows that this time actually drew the shortest, or live in the smallest house.

At this time, Li Jianguo refused, he thought that this was Li Huoda's scheming, the purpose was to gag his mouth, so that he would not complain about him in the allocation of housing, and bear the funeral expenses after his death, after all, the old man was already in his eighties and could not live long.

The three brothers quarreled in the house, and finally, Li Huoda said a word, he said: "No matter which of you lives in a big house or who lives in a small house, the funeral expenses after my death, you three brothers must share them equally." ”

It was this sentence that made Li Jianguo think that his thoughts were right, and the dissatisfaction with Li Huoda in his heart gradually bred hatred, but he was afraid of the eldest and second, and he didn't dare to do anything to Li Huoda on the surface, until Li Huoda died, and the hatred in his heart broke out.

Li Jianguo first invited his daughter-in-law's family to host the funeral, so as to disturb Li Huoda's funeral and let the deceased not have peace after death, but he was rejected by Li Jianmin's two brothers.

Li Jianguo used a second plan to hit the body of the deceased, he asked a friend to get the scavenger's eggs in the field, and when the mortuary was in the hall for a few days, he took advantage of the time when we were sleeping, and secretly put the scavenger's eggs under the beam with a bamboo cane.

Some people must be wondering, why Li Jianguo didn't put the scavenger's eggs directly into the coffin, but put them on the beams of the house in one fell swoop, his explanation was quite humane, he said: "After all, he raised me as an adult, I can't do that, but I hate him, and I can only take revenge in another way." ”

As for Li Hazi's body being eaten by the scavenger, it was a complete accident, Li Jianguo's explanation is that he did not want to go to the hall, for fear of remembering his father, and for fear that his father would seek revenge on him, so he put the scavenger's eggs on the beam of the house and did not take them off.

In the end, Li Jianguo roared, he said: "Father, why do you treat me like this, I respect you no less than the eldest brother and second brother, why don't you give me the big house." With that, he burst into tears.

Lang Gao finished the whole thing, I don't have a taste in my heart, in the countryside because of the allocation of houses, there are many tragedies, a adobe house itself is not worth much, they are only fighting for the attention of the elders to themselves.

At that time, I didn't know what words to use to describe my feelings, so I felt very bitter in my heart, and I felt that Li Jianguo was somewhat similar to the industry of the Eight Immortals to some extent.

It's just that we Eight Immortals can control our emotions, no matter whether we encounter fair or unfair treatment, we can keep our professional ethics, maintain enough respect for the deceased, and try our best to do the customs and etiquette.

Whether the two brothers Li Jianmin have done anything about the strengths and weaknesses, I don't dare to make a conclusion, after all, this is someone else's family matter, and it is not within the scope of our eight immortals, we are only responsible for the dead, and the living have their own legal punishment.

When I thought of this, I had a cold feeling all over my body, very comfortable, I lifted my clothes and took a look, the bubbles had disappeared at some point, only very fine black spots, proving that I had suffered from bubbles, as long as I went home and took a bath with wormwood, these black spots should be able to disappear.

I was stunned for a long time, turned my head to look at Lang Gao, and asked, "How many years will I be sentenced?" What about his wife and children? ”

"For seven years, Li Jianmin's two brothers are willing to bear the living expenses and tuition fees of his children, and as for his daughter-in-law, I will go to the town to find a job for her to subsidize the family!" Lang Gao's tone was very light, and there was a trace of sadness between his eyebrows.

Because of this, our interest was not very high, hurriedly packed some tools and prepared to go home, when I left the cemetery, I felt that someone in the cemetery was watching me, turned my head to look, and vaguely saw two figures waving goodbye to me, as if it was Li Huoda and Li Hazi, Ding Qing looked, there was nothing in the empty cemetery.

I smiled inexplicably, perhaps, Li Huoda came to this cemetery to apologize to Li Hazi, after all, Li Hazi's body was a little wronged, and he always smiled slightly when he gave a dream to the three brothers of the Li family, maybe it was to convey a meaning to Li Jianguo, he didn't blame him.

Then, I rubbed my face and waved away the sadness in my heart, at this time, Guo Fatzi and Chen Tiannan walked over, each of them put a hand on my shoulder, we looked at each other and smiled, and roared towards the sunset that was about to disappear into the sky, 'Eight immortals, long live!' ’
