Chapter 9: Hatred
The guy surnamed Liu hasn't been here since he left that day, but grandpa is not usual, and I can always find grandpa alone in one place, frowning and stunned, and I want to ask but dare not ask.
Although Narcissus's body was reburied, but the cause of death has not been found, my grandfather and I have gone to Huang's house several times, but still in vain.
I asked my grandfather what to do, and he could only shake his head helplessly and say, "You can only take one step at a time, and there will always be a day when the water will come out." ”
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and the days seem to have returned to calm, and from time to time grandpa will still take orders to go out on the boat to retrieve corpses, and nothing has happened on the Yellow River, maybe it is because of me.
After a long time, I began to wonder if the Yellow River Niangniang had given up on asking for my life, otherwise, why had there been no movement for so long.
The annual rainy season is coming, the Yellow River water is soaring, every time at this time I don't know how many people will die in the Yellow River, so grandpa is also very busy, often a day out is a whole day, until it gets dark to see grandpa and his old man drag the tired body back, every time I see grandpa tired look, my heart can't say uncomfortable, but at this time I can't share it for him.
Early in the morning, several family members of the deceased found Grandpa, who hurried out of the boat without eating, while I could only sit in the yard in a silent daze, but fortunately, Da Hei had been with me. Otherwise, I'm going to get sick.
In the corpse digging industry, basically no one wants to touch it, because everyone thinks that getting close to the corpse collector will bring evil luck to themselves, and will bring bad luck to themselves and their families, so they don't wait to approach the corpse collector except when they have to.
Because of this, my home was built a little isolated, with no one around, and I didn't have any friends since I was a child, except for Narcissus and their family, but that was also in the past.
"Xiao Nan is at home!"
Originally, I was looking at the ground in a daze, and I was startled by such a voice, and when I looked up, I was stunned at first, it turned out to be an old yellow head.
As soon as the old yellow head entered the courtyard, he smiled and grinned, completely without the disgust I had for me when I went to his house, and he still carried a bottle of Erguotou in one hand.
"Uncle Huang, why are you here, my grandfather is out of the boat and not at home, do you have anything to do with him?"
"What else can I do, the old brothers are drinking and catching up on the old days, oops, it's really unfortunate that they're out, so let's go and come back in the evening." After saying that, the old yellow head walked away like the wind, and I was stunned when I watched it back and forth.
Sure enough, the old yellow head really came in the evening, and sat down with my grandfather and drank, while I stood aside and waited.
"Brother Xiang, I really couldn't help it last time, I haven't come out of my girl's death yet, your brothers and sisters have become like that, alas, don't blame me, brother, I'll punish myself." Saying that, the old yellow head toasted himself.
Grandpa knew that it wasn't like that at all, but it was not easy to show it on his face, so he could only smile and say that he understood, but I could see that the smile on grandpa's face at the moment was a bit far-fetched.
The old yellow head then filled himself with another cup, picked up the cup and said, "Brother Xiang, I want to congratulate you on this cup." ”
"Congratulations, where did you come from?" Grandpa was puzzled.
Standing on the side, I was also stunned when I listened, how could I hear that the old yellow head meant that my grandfather had found a wife? But when I heard it again, it turned out that I was mistaken.
Seeing that grandpa asked, the old yellow head put down the cup in his hand, and then said to grandpa with a smile, "Brother Xiang, let's be honest with you, this time I came not only to catch up with you, but to take a big deal for you, and the other party made a move is 100,000, 100,000 yuan of an old corpse, shouldn't I congratulate you?" ”
Lakh!
This is indeed a lot, this may be the highest price since my grandfather fished out the corpse, I began to wonder about the other party, and said in my heart Could it be the one surnamed Liu.
If it is really the one surnamed Liu, if he is so generous, why didn't he make a direct bid last time, and find Lao Huangtou to be the middleman, saying that the grandfather does not look at anyone's feelings when he fishes out the corpse, if it is really him, it is not easy to find anyone to be the middleman.
Immediately, I looked at my grandfather, and saw that his brow was slightly wrinkled, but it quickly disappeared again.
"Brother Huang, 100,000, who is such a big deal?" Grandpa asked.
Just when Grandpa just finished saying this, lying on the ground gnawing on the bones of the big black suddenly shouted to the far door, I followed the cry to look at the door, only to see a very well-dressed middle-aged man walked in, one of them also carried a bag of materials, because it was transparent, I saw at a glance that it contained a pile of banknotes, a full ten.
I saw that the person who came was not the benefactor surnamed Liu who helped me, but the person who went to Lao Huangtou's house when I was hiding near Huang's house last time.
"Hello Master Xiang, I have disturbed my visit late at night, please forgive me." The middle-aged man spoke, and he was a person who knew how to be polite, but how could I feel that the words he said sounded so awkward, and I really couldn't say anything awkward about it for a while.
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the old yellow head was introduced, listening to the old yellow head so introduced, I knew why I listened to him talk so awkwardly, for a long time this middle-aged man He is not Chinese, but an island countryman, called Nakagawa Jiro, this time I came to ask my grandfather to salvage the bones of a relative.
Nakagawa Jiro said that the bones that needed to be salvaged belonged to his grandfather, saying that his grandfather was a geologist who came here 18 years ago and unfortunately died on the Yellow River.
After hearing all this, Grandpa suddenly looked at Nakagawa Jiro with strange eyes, "Island people, eighteen years ago, geologist ......"
Suddenly, the grandfather stood up suddenly, his face became quite ugly, it should be said that his face was full of anger, and a pair of eyes were even more glaring, and he saw the grandfather grab the wine glass in his hand and slam it to the ground, and then shouted to Nakagawa Jiro: "You let me fish out his body, impossible, he doesn't deserve to be fished out, he deserves to be buried forever under the yellow sand of the Yellow River, and apologize to those who he killed." ”
"Xiao Nan, send off!"
After saying that, the grandfather went back to the house angrily.
Although grandpa didn't say what happened back then, judging from what grandpa meant, this grandfather of Nakagawa Jiro must have done something to lose his conscience back then, and killed a lot of people by the Yellow River, and it has reached the level of anger among people and gods.
And I grew up watching anti-Japanese war films since I was a child, and I have a natural resistance to the island people, my grandfather has opened his mouth to send off guests, and I no longer care about any etiquette, and immediately said with a gloomy face, "Did you hear what my grandfather said, don't you go quickly!" ”
At that time, Nakagawa Jiro's face was simply ugly, it seemed that he wanted to go crazy, but he kept suppressing it, and the old yellow head on the side was even more embarrassed, so he said to me, "Xiao Nan, you can talk to your grandfather again, 100,000 yuan." ”
Hearing this, I sneered and said, "Uncle Huang, you also know that my grandfather said that if he doesn't fish, he will definitely not fish, and besides, this grandfather of Nakagawa Jiro doesn't seem to be a good thing, let alone 100,000, that is, 1 million 10 million, the answer is the same, don't fish!" ”
"Eight Ga Ya Road!"
Nakagawa Jiro's angry muscles were exposed, and he raised his hand to hit me, but the raised hand was quickly put down again, and then turned around and left angrily, and when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he turned his head, and his eyes revealed full of killing intent.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw my grandfather staring at a photograph of a young man and a woman, who were my parents......
