Chapter 85: The Secret (2)

Everyone's daily work and life passed in a blink of an eye, and no one in the village proposed to collect the body of the deceased patriarch, or even mention the patriarch again.

But until that day, it was impossible for everyone to calm down anymore, because everyone found a set of clothes in front of the ditch.

It's normal to have a suit of clothes on the mountain. Because of the heat of summer, when everyone was working, it was very hot, so they took off a coat, threw it away and continued to work, and forgot to take it with them when they went home. The folk customs are simple, and no one comes to pick them up, and it is common for people who take off their clothes to go back to pick them up when they are free.

However, this set of clothes found in front of the ditch caused quite a stir, but unlike the previous sensations, no one went to gossip, and no one used this matter as an after-dinner conversation, and then everyone was silent, and the depression was terrible.

Why does a set of clothes cause such a big reaction in these people?

First of all, this outfit is obviously cyan and white.

Second, this is not the linen clothes worn by the ordinary people in the village, but the robes and horse coats that the Manchus forced the Han people to wear. Of course, if the owner of this garment often wears it and walks the streets, the people must be very familiar with it.

In fact, what disturbed everyone the most was that this outfit had blackened flowers infected with blood, especially the cuff on the right!

A set of familiar clothes, as well as blood stains on the cuffs, people really can't escape!

Do you still need to ask? This garment belongs to the patriarch who died! His children are accustomed to life here, and he is the only one who is familiar with walking the streets or sitting in the fields and smoking in this robe.

Blood flowers on the whole garment, what does this mean? The sin he received before he died is a thorn in the hearts of people here!

Suddenly, a voice came out: "Is the old patriarch coming back for revenge?" ”

When this sentence was spoken, it was like a spark that ignited dynamite. As soon as it was out of control, everyone began to be afraid, and from fear they became extremely angry.

Everyone found the man who shouted that sentence with a blank gaze and began to beat him, as if it was because of him that all this happened.

The man was beaten and kept saying, "He's back, we're all going to die." I've heard my grandfather say that this kind of ghost is so angry that it will kill us all! ”

At this time, a person said: "Stop fighting, isn't it enough to be sorry?" ”

One sentence made everyone start to sober up, and stopped beating him. Helped the man up, but the man still muttered: "Sorry? Isn't it too late to tell? Hahahaha, all to death! ”

One sentence aroused the fear in everyone's hearts, and they wanted to beat him again.

At this time, a person came out and said: "Maybe it was an officer who did it at the beginning, and everyone has never been there, so I scare myself if I find it by chance!" ”

Everyone felt that what he said made sense, and they all recovered their mood and conscience. They apologized to the people who were beaten, and then went home with peace of mind.

After being at ease, everyone naturally returned to their normal lives, ate to their heart's content, and then had a good night's sleep.

It's just that after waking up the next morning, everyone began to think about this incident again, and everyone's hearts began to be uneasy again.

Even if the officer dragged the old patriarch's clothes, he would not spread them out on the edge of the ditch, and the wind blew a few days ago, how could it be so smooth on the edge of the ditch......

That's when the noise began outside.

People gathered in front of a house, and the water around it was impassable.

"Was he killed?" The person standing on the periphery asked inside.

"Dead? He's actually dead? Was it that he was too heavy yesterday and was killed? When the person in front of him heard this, he immediately asked.

Now the people here are afraid of doing a little bit of bad things.

The person in front heard the discussion of the people behind him, and turned around: "I wasn't beaten to death by everyone, I was hanged, really, a ragged dress, what's there not to think about?" Really. ”

"Everyone said, should we give him a thick burial?" A person ascended to the top and shouted, and suddenly ushered in the praise of a large group of people.

Maybe everyone still feels sorry, even if he found the words engraved on the wall in the room of the suicide man, saying that he hoped that he would be in the ground and not be polite.

After the funeral, the dress also made everyone less sensitive. It's as if everything has passed. After dinner, everyone also began to talk about this matter, and it was no longer a thorn buried in the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, everyone is getting more and more gentle in the world. In the eyes of outsiders, it is even more enjoyable, and everyone loves and helps each other.

But suddenly one day, a man had a dream.

The dream was black and white, and he dreamed of the old patriarch.

Little by little, starting from the people of that family came to the village, how to kindly help everyone live a good life little by little.

He knew it was a dream, but he desperately tried to wake up, but he couldn't get up.

He was just a viewer in a dream, unable to do anything but watch.

Knowing that he saw it, the Qing soldiers entered the village, grabbed the patriarch, held it, and beat it. The old patriarch struggled desperately, begging for help, but no one saved him, until he was trampled on his hand and even abandoned by his son. He saw the earth-shattering hatred and resentment in the patriarch's eyes. In fact, as long as you resist, you will definitely be safe, at most a few people will be slightly injured, but everyone doesn't dare to be the one who takes the lead.

He watched with his own eyes as the patriarch was dragged into the ravine, beaten so violently that he had no breath, and when he died, he was still staring at him, and he was thrown into the ravine. This dream forced him to see every detail clearly, the scars of being beaten, the hateful eyes, he couldn't look at it or not!

Finally, he felt someone tugging him down the ravine! He knew that it was the patriarch who dragged him down, even if he knew it was a dream, but he didn't want to die, he struggled and resisted, but he still couldn't get rid of the bloody hand on his leg and was caught.

The moment he went down, he finally woke up. For the first time, he felt the morning sun, it was so beautiful!

It's just that he didn't know that at least 80 percent of the people in the village had the same dream. But everyone began to feel sorry again. How can you tell this kind of dream to others? So everyone chose to hide it!

The next night, he thought to himself, it was just a dream, it should be something today. I ate more food in the evening and wanted to get a good night's sleep. However, the dream that should come will still come!

At the beginning, the scene was exactly the same as the dream I had the night before. It's just that when I came to the side of the ravine, the ditch looked down from above, and it was a sea of blood!
