Chapter 6 The Fool's Grave Is Digged
"Yezi, don't be afraid, you should save your Uncle Shi this time, and Uncle Shi will buy you candy to eat every day in the future. You saved the fool, and you won't hurt me here. Chen Shi said to me while burning paper money.
At this time, I finally cried, Chen Shishi came up and almost knocked my head off with a slap, and then he took out a kitchen knife and said fiercely: "If you cry again, I will cut off your head, if I can't live, don't live if you don't live!" β
Maybe it was the slap that knocked me out, or maybe the kitchen knife scared me, and I felt like I was urinating in my crotch all the time, and I couldn't control my urge to urinate until I couldn't pee.
And after Chen Shishi burned the paper money, he took out a shovel and dug up the fool's grave.
I watched him in amazement, and waited until he dug out the fool, and took a knife and cut open the fool's belly, and he took out a lump of meat from the fool's stomach and put it into a jar.
At that time, Chen Shishi was also trembling, and after taking out the lump of meat, he hastily buried the fool, and then fled back to the village like crazy with me, and then left me out of my yard.
The first thing I did when I woke up from that kind of stun was crying, heart-rending crying, and my grandfather and my mother got up and carried me in, and my mother took me into her arms and kept asking me what was wrong, but I couldn't stop crying, and I cried until dawn. Chen Shishi arrived at my house with a few chickens and a basket of eggs.
As soon as I saw Chen Shishi, I drilled hard into my grandfather's arms, and Chen Shishi knelt down as soon as he saw my grandfather plop, and the big-eared scraper bowed left and right to his face: "Uncle Tiancheng, I'm sorry for you, I secretly took the leaves away last night!" β
My grandfather, who had always been calm, hugged me and asked, "The child smells of corpses, I guessed it's you, tell me, what's going on?" β
"Mrs. Wang said, the fool didn't come back to trouble me, she was more comfortable dead than alive, she came back to thank Xiao Yezi, and secondly, she was still pregnant with a child in her belly when she died, she hated our old Chen family, and she didn't want to die with the old Chen family, so she came back to give me the child, as long as I take the child back, she won't pester me anymore, Uncle Tiancheng, I can't help it, I'm afraid, Mrs. Wang said that as long as you take the leaves, the fool will definitely not hurt me in front of the leaves, She treats the leaves as her savior! Chen Shishi said, and still couldn't kneel down after speaking.
My mother's face turned white with fright after hearing this, and my grandfather was also angry, but he looked at Chen Shishi and said: "You are confused, even if the leaves can be used, you told me that I will not scare the child like this if I hold the child, this child has been gone since he came back last night, and his soul is gone, and it is estimated that he was scared to fall on the grave, Jin Zhi, go, take the clothes of the leaves and go to the fool's grave to scream, and it is estimated that it will be fine to call the soul back." β
After speaking, the grandfather said to Chen Shishi: "You have done everything, now it is useless to beat you and scold you, you take the things back, it is not easy for you to have three children in the family, the fool is gone, even if you have anything wrong, the child is her own, and she will probably be able to spare you if you take care of her." Go back quickly, don't tell anyone about this, the leaves are still small, and they can't stand the stimulation. β
My mother took my clothes to the widow's grave, while shaking the little clothes and called the leaves to come back, the leaves come back, this is the way to call the soul in the countryside, until noon, I only eased up, but still trembling, my grandfather smoked a dry tobacco pouch and said to me: "Leaves, the fool will not harm you, you take the branch to save her, she remembers your love, ghost, will only harm the wicked, not the good." β
That night, news came from the next village, Mrs. Wang died, threw herself into the river, and died in the place where the fool's body was fished up, and the people in the next village said that the old lady went out after eating, and everyone felt strange on the road, because no matter who greeted her, she ignored her. Mrs. Wang on weekdays is still very amiable.
Mrs. Wang is the spirit woman of our villages, and she also has a little reputation, she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, or died in the place where the fool's body was fished up, which made the villagers panic, this is obviously a fool who even hooked the soul of the spirit woman. It became big news all of a sudden, and the women were so timid that they didn't even dare to go out again.
The next day, a message came from the next village, Mrs. Wang did not say a word before she died, she confessed to her son before leaving home: "I judged the wrong case, and I can't escape this catastrophe." β
Just after dealing with the fool's affairs and died, there was such a sentence left before death, the villagers kept discussing, and finally everyone deduced the answer from this clue: "The fool was killed by Chen Shishi, originally the fool wanted to find Chen Shishi to pay for his life, Mrs. Wang took care of this matter and saved Chen Shishi's life, and a life was naturally exchanged for a life, so Mrs. Wang was hooked by a fool." β
Of course, this is just the speculation of the villagers, and no one knows what the truth is.
In any case, the fool never made a fuss after that, and everything was calm. When the fool was alive, no one was willing to help her once, but because she made a few fuss after she died, everyone remembered her, and the river where the fool died, if any of us children dared to swim back, they would definitely be beaten half to death, and in those years, even the adults could take a detour and never go to the river.
Because this incident gave me a deep shadow of childhood, Chen Shishi later fulfilled his promise that his children were reluctant to buy candy to eat, and every time they saw me, they would buy me a dime or two of candy, but I never ate it, because every time I saw him, I was scared and trembling, and my mind was full of scenes of him digging out a piece of meat from the belly of a fool, as long as I saw Chen Shishi once, I would be sad for a few days, my grandfather and my mother asked Chen Shishi to stay away from me and not scare me, because I almost never saw Chen Shishi in the village, And our two families have almost no intersection, and later heard from the villagers that his family is becoming more and more embarrassed, after all, it is difficult for a man to bring three children, but whether it is poor or rich, no matter how difficult Chen Shi is, he can also pull the three children to adulthood.
ββChen Shishi worked hard to bring up these three children, although people have grown up, but these three children because of neglect of discipline, they have become lazy and like to cause trouble, the family is getting poorer and poorer, seeing that the three brothers are already the eldest and not small, don't think about marrying a daughter-in-law, these three boys still want a daughter-in-law, if you want a daughter-in-law, you should hurry up and go out to work and make money, the problem is that these three boys don't think so, they pull their father Chen Shi to beat them up for three days, The village committee went to mediate a few times, and the three boys said confidently: "When Lao Tzu doesn't ask for a wife to build a house for his children, who will he beat if he doesn't beat him?" β
The village committee has mediated a few times to no avail, who of you is full and idlely taking care of his family's mess? But no one expected that Chen Shishi, who was forced to be helpless, really had the cheekiness to borrow some money from his neighbors, and he also earned some money from odd jobs on weekdays, so he bought this woman back.
Looking for a woman, the problem is that Chen Shishi has three children, and these three sons are all like wolves and tigers, and they can't wait to stare out when they see a woman's eyes on weekdays, this matter is complicated here, with the urine of Chen Shishi's three sons, no matter who Chen Shishi gives this woman to, the remaining two children can tear this old man alive.
The villagers were opening their eyes wide to see the excitement of Chen Shishi's house, who knew that Chen Shishi's family had calmed down, and the three children, including Chen Shishi, didn't go out much.
Now everyone suddenly realized, they all wanted to scold a dog, dare to love this Chen Shishi's family not only inherited the poor, but also inherited the incest ability, look at this, is it the three children of the Chen Shishi family who occupy a girl?
This matter was spread in the village through ups and downs, and once made the eldest brother, the corpse digger, inconspicuous, and when the matter reached me, I immediately knew the seriousness of the matter.
It stands to reason that this family of birds and beasts of the Chen Shishi family is really punished by the law, the problem is that the girl is living in dire straits, the three children don't look at the three children who grew up from snacks and hundreds of meals, and their bodies are as strong as calves, if it is really three girls who spoil others, this girl will have to shed her skin if she doesn't die!
I can turn a blind eye to other things, but the only sense of justice I have left makes me feel that I absolutely have to take care of this matter, but because of this incident when I was a child, I extremely didn't want to deal with this Chen Shishi family, so I went to the village chief Chen Qingshan, the name of the three brothers of the Chen Shishi family is very simple, that is, Da Kui Erkui Sankui, because he likes to fight and fight on weekdays, and even the people who beat his father are ruthless, so the nickname is the three mad dogs, And the village head, Chen Qingshan, is the only one in the village who can hold down the three brothers of the Chen Shishi family.
As the saying goes, the cadres in the city are drunk, and the grassroots cadres are beaten, this is true, this Chen Qingshan is more than one meter and eight meters tall, that is called a person tall and big, this guy watched Jet Li's Shaolin Temple when he was a child, and went to Songshan to learn art with steamed buns, and finally did not enter the Shaolin Temple, and followed a master in Dengfeng to learn boxing and foot kung fu for several years, although he is not a martial arts master, but it is very powerful to fight, once the three brothers of the Chen family fought with Chen Qingshan, Chen Qingshan couldn't stand up when the three brothers were beaten, and since then, the three brothers of the Chen family have been very convinced of Chen Qingshan.
Chen Qingshan has no knowledge, and he is very addicted to officials, although he is a nine-grade sesame official, but he cherishes the hat on his head, but he is still righteous, and he takes good care of me, so I found him, as soon as I came, Chen Qingshan immediately hit a bottle of wine and said: "Yezi, among the young people in our village, I can drink with you, come!" β
I squeezed his hand and said, "Village Chief, you can drink whenever you want, I have something serious to discuss with you today." β
Chen Qingshan glanced at me and said, "It's Chen Shishi who bought his daughter-in-law, right?" You, you, how many times have I said it, I know that buying and selling human beings is illegal, but he has to do this in our village! β
