"Okay, then when you have time, let's go together," Jiang Weiwei said to me in frustration on the phone.

"Okay, then let's do it first, I'm still busy here, I'll contact you when I have time" After I said this to Jiang Weiwei, I hung up the phone, Jiang Weiwei likes me, but I only treat Jiang Weiwei as a good friend.

When I got in the car, I bought a lot of snacks for Bai Ling, Bai Ling, she has not been idle since she got in the car, she has been eating, she is similar to Fan Qing, as long as there is delicious and fun, nothing else is interested at all.

After Jiang Weiwei called me, I couldn't sleep anymore, I leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside, unconsciously I remembered Xia Wanting, from the beginning of the acquaintance, until now, we have experienced life and death, at the beginning she followed me every day, which made me feel particularly upset, at that time I hoped that she could disappear in front of my eyes forever, but now I want to see her, I can't see her, I miss her so much, I am really not sure if I like her.

Longwangmiao is a poor town, the economy is underdeveloped, the life of the local people is not rich, everyone almost depends on farming for a living, compared to Qianyang Town is too much worse, when we arrived at Longwangmiao Town, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon.

"Auntie, you Pingding Village, how far is it from this Longwangmiao Town" After getting out of the car, I asked Auntie.

"It will take more than an hour to walk," the eldest lady replied to me, and I almost collapsed when I heard the eldest mother's words.

"Auntie, let's not leave, let's take a taxi to your village," I said to Auntie with a wry smile.

"The road to our village is not easy to walk, it costs twenty yuan to take a taxi, it is too expensive" The eldest mother said this with her head bowed.

"Twenty is twenty, let's take a taxi" After I said this to the eldest lady, I reached out and stopped an electric tricycle, there are no taxis in Longwangmiao Town at all, almost all of them are electric tricycles, and occasionally there are a few minivans.

Although there are asphalt roads in Longwangmiao Town, the roads leading to the villages under the jurisdiction of Longwangmiao Town are dirt roads, and they are very difficult to walk, and I was going to be shaken and disgusted when I sat on the electric tricycle.

"It's fun, it's fun, haha" Bai Ling sat on the electric tricycle and laughed, the greater the shaking amplitude of the electric tricycle, the louder Bai Ling's laughter, anyway, I couldn't laugh at all.

Walking for more than an hour, the three of us made an electric tricycle and spent nearly half an hour to reach the fifth group of Pingding Village where the eldest mother was located, and when I got off the car, the eldest lady took out the only twenty yuan from her pocket to pay the fare, but I was blocked, I took out twenty yuan from my pocket and handed it to the driver who drove the electric tricycle.

"Young man, you took the money for the bus back, and you can't pay for the tricycle this time, you can take the money" After the lady said this, she stuffed the crumpled twenty yuan in her hand into my pocket.

Because I was born as a farmer, when I saw my eldest lady for the first time, I could see in her the simple and simple character unique to our peasants. I also know in my heart that this job of picking up the eldest lady will be a loss-making business, I don't care about this, I just think it is to accumulate experience for myself and do good deeds.

"Liu Shou, have you noticed that there is something wrong with this village" Bai Ling said to me as he looked around vigilantly.

"No," I replied, shaking my head at Bai Ling.

"Look at the grass around the village, and the trees, and the leaves of the buds," Bai Ling said to me, pointing to the plants growing around me.

I listened to Bai Ling's words, and I looked at the plants growing around me, and I found that the tips of the leaves of the plants growing around me had turned yellow.

"This should be a plant drought caused by lack of water," I said casually to Bai Ling.

"Then why is there nothing wrong with the big tree in front of you?" Bai Ling pointed to a large locust tree with lush foliage in front of me and said to me.

The big locust tree that Bai Ling refers to is on a small hill in the center of the five groups of Pingding Village, this small mountain bag covers an area of about 200 square meters, and is five or six meters high, the big locust tree in the center of the mountain bag is very stout, and five adults can hold the big locust tree hand in hand, and the tree is tied with red rope and red cloth.

"This big locust tree is more than a thousand years old, it is the sacred tree of the fifth group of our Pingding Village, and many people will come to our village to burn incense and make wishes to this big locust tree," the eldest lady pointed to the big locust tree in front of me and Bai Ling and said.

After listening to the words of the eldest mother, I walked towards the big locust tree, under the big locust tree, I saw five or six old people sitting on a small bench chatting, the closer to the big locust tree, the cooler I felt, this is really a good shade under the big tree.

Bai Ling walked to a place ten meters away from the big locust tree and stopped, she looked at the big locust tree in front of her vigilantly, and her expression became very solemn.

"What's wrong, Bai Ling," I asked, turning around and looking at Bai Ling, who had stopped in place.

"I think there's something wrong with this big locust tree" Bai Ling looked at the big locust tree and said to me cautiously, after listening to Bai Ling's words, I looked at the big locust tree in front of me and looked at it carefully, and I didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

"Then you stand here, I'll take a look," I said to Bai Ling and walked over to the big locust tree.

After visiting the big locust tree, I followed the eldest lady around the village, and did not find anything wrong, Bai Ling followed closely behind me, and her eyes looked at the big locust tree in the center of the five groups of Pingding Village from time to time.

"Alas, this morning a young man died in our village for some reason, only thirty-eight years old, and his son was only twelve years old, what a pitiful thing," the eldest lady said to me, pointing to a house with a spiritual shed at the door.

"Auntie, can you take me over to have a look?" I looked at the house with the funeral shed and said to the eldest lady.

"Yes," the eldest lady replied, and led me to the house of the mourning shed.

Before I could reach the door of the house, I heard the miserable crying of men and women coming from the courtyard of the house, and when the lady took me to the house, the people of the house stopped crying and all looked at me.

"Boss, who is this?" An old man of about seventy years old pointed at me and asked my aunt.

"This is the little Taoist priest I invited in the city, and asked him to come and see how our village is always dead," the eldest lady said to the seventy-year-old man.

"Well, this is a good thing, I have to ask someone to take a look" The old man agreed with the eldest lady's words.

I wasn't interested in talking to the old man at all, I went straight to the ice coffin in the mourning shed and walked over, the weather in July is very hot, and our rule here is that after a person dies, he must be kept at home for three days. If you don't rent an ice coffin on such a hot day and come back to put the corpse, the corpse will rot and smell in less than a day, and my grandmother died in mid-September, when my grandmother kept it at home for three days, and rented the ice coffin at that time. In fact, the ice coffin is a refrigerated cabinet for the corpse, with a refrigeration machine underneath and a transparent glass cover on top.

I walked into the ice coffin and could clearly see the male corpse lying inside, the face of ordinary people who died normally was either pale or gray, and the face of the corpse in front of me was light purple, and the eye circles were a little dark, and his current appearance was a bit like he had been sucked dry of yang energy and died.
