Chapter 2: Reduced to widowhood
I don't know how long it has been, but the drinkers have poured down and walked, and my house has gradually become deserted.
Although I drank a lot of alcohol, I was only a little dizzy, and my amount of alcohol had been practiced during my studies, not blowing, and it was no problem to drink non-stop all day and night.
"Mom, where's Xiaoyanagi?" I lit a cigarette.
Mom was busy cleaning up the mess: "I don't know, do you want to see if you're resting in the room?" β
After smoking, I burped and looked around the room one by one, but there was no ...... This little woman, could it be that she went to the car to pick up something and didn't come back, and slept in the car?
I walked to the car again, and the windows and doors were closed, and there was no trace of her.
"Koyanagi!" I opened my throat and shouted, "Wife! Daughter-in-law! β
In the dark night, only the wind swept by, and there was no echo of her......
If you are not familiar with the road of life, should something happen? In an instant, I woke up more than half of my wine, ran back to call my parents, and shouted while looking for a flashlight.
Many people heard the movement and got up and followed suit.
The village has been turned back and forth dozens of times, and the nearby hillside woods have also been found, and the sky has turned white, and there is still no trace of Yang Xiaoliu.
"This kid, shouldn't he dislike our family and sneak away?" My mom said worriedly.
"Ugh......" my dad sighed.
"Nope! She didn't even drive the car, how to get there? "I'm so anxious at the moment, I hope nothing happens to her!
At this moment, an eager voice came from afar, "Found it!" Got it...... Wei Laisheng's new daughter-in-law has been found! β
I ran up and asked, "Where?" β
"In ...... At...... In the pond, "the messenger ran out of breath," already ...... It's dead! β
I suddenly thundered like five thunders, dead? How is this possible?!
There is only one pond within a radius of ten miles from Diancun, and the groundwater comes out from the center of the pond and flows out continuously, which is the only source of water used to irrigate crops in our village, and it is also a paradise for us when we were children.
When we arrived at the pond, Yang Xiaoliu had already been salvaged by the people who found her, wearing a red dress, her complexion was pale, her eyes were closed, the corners of her mouth were raised, and her whole body was stained with duckweed, looking very peaceful.
The salvage people said that a few of them found here, because they drank too much wine at night and couldn't hold back, so they came to the pond to pee, and vaguely saw something floating on the water, and began to think it was a red plastic bag, and then looked closely and it didn't look like it, so they rowed it with a bamboo pole, and before they reached the shore, someone recognized that it was Yang Xiaoliu.
I was numb from my head to my heels, and I couldn't even make a sound.
"In the next life, call the police!" My dad gently patted me on the shoulder.
"What a wreck!" My mother's face turned pale and tears flowed from her eyes.
β¦β¦
After the police came, there were more people watching the excitement, and there were many people from the next village.
They first questioned me, but my dad was answering for me, and then they questioned the people in the village one by one.
The medical examiner examined the body and determined that it had drowned.
The police repeatedly investigated, but found no suspicious footprints, no suspicious fingerprints, and none of the people who had time to commit the crime had no motive for committing the crime, not to mention that there were eyewitnesses.
In the end, without the slightest trace of evidence, the case was hastily closed as "falling into the water and accidentally dying".
But I strongly objected, Yang Xiaoliu thought that wearing red clothes in the village was too ostentatious, and she always wore plain colors, and that night was no exception, her clothes were obviously changed; And since she has stumbled into the water, she should have a hideous face, not so peaceful; The most important point is that I have seen her swim in her own swimming pool, and she can hold her breath underwater for ten minutes casually, how can a woman with such a good water nature drown like this?
The police officer who convicted the case explained impatiently that Yang Xiaoliu had changed the clothes herself, perhaps because it was dark and she couldn't distinguish the colors; The serenity of her face may have something to do with her facial muscles; As for being able to swim and drowning, it may be that she had cramps in her feet at that time, and she didn't find the right direction to go ashore in the dark light.
It's just fucking nonsense and irresponsible!!
If my parents hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten him to death.
For the next few days, I was in a daze, unable to eat, unable to sleep at night, and never stopped smoking one cigarette after another. Until Yang Xiaoliu was buried in my family's ancestral grave, I still didn't believe that she died like this, such a good beautiful wife, how can I say that it is gone?
But not to mention that the police couldn't find evidence, I also personally searched carefully and repeatedly several times, but still didn't notice any clues.
Despite this, I still feel that Yang Xiaoliu's death is strange.
At night, my mother sat on the edge of the bed and sighed and wiped her tears: "Zhang Lao Er is right, you are pure yin, it is difficult to make a doomed marriage, you look at how good Xiaoliu's child is, he died inexplicably, we hurt others." β
Zhang Laodi?
My mind suddenly flashed back to what he said on the day I entered the village, 'It's a pity that a good girl is forgiving'.
Could it be that he had known that something would happen to Yang Xiaoliu?
No, I must go to him and ask him clearly, who hurt Yang Xiaoliu, the so-called people who don't forgive, who is not forgiving......
As soon as I walked to the gate, I saw six children from the village running over in a hurry, sweating profusely, "Oh no! Brother in the next life, tell your parents quickly, the blind fortune teller Zhang Lao Er is dead! β
I just thought I'm going to go to him, and he's dead!
How can there be such a coincidence?
When he arrived at Zhang's second house, he had already been put into the coffin that had been prepared. His mother died just after birth, and his father died when he was a child, and he didn't marry a wife, let alone children, so his funeral was extremely simple, probably to enter the museum to see the underground burial.
On the day of his burial, he was to burn all that he had in life.
When Liuwazi picked up his pillow and went out, a piece of red paper fell from the pillow and landed right at my feet.
I picked it up without looking at it or pressing it, and when I saw it, my whole body was cold, and the red paper read, 'Xin Wei Bingshen Yi Mao Chongzi Pure Yin Life (Sheng); 壬η³εΊζ壬η³δΈζͺpure yang life (death)'.
Isn't this the eight characters between me and Yang Xiaoliu? On the day of worshipping the ancestors, my father also specially asked the elders of the clan to give us the two of us a combination of eight characters, but I didn't expect that I was a pure yin life, she turned out to be a pure yang life, what does the last word life and death mean?
Now that she is indeed dead, what does all this have to do with Zhang Laoer?
It's a pity that he is also dead, and I can't find out why......
As her legal husband, I will inherit her hundreds of millions of assets and more than a dozen villas, and there are many procedures waiting for me to go through.
After that, I became a widower, a man whose wife had died, and I was very rich!
β¦β¦
In a blink of an eye, it is the thirteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, that is, the Ghost Festival, which is said to be the day when the ghost gate of the underworld will be opened, and the lonely souls and wild ghosts will come to the yang world to walk, which is the heaviest day of the year.
The streets and alleys are burning incense and paper, and the thick smoke is flashing with sparks.
This makes me miss Yang Xiaoliu even more, if the legend is true, will she come back to see me?
Early in the morning, my mother called me to urge me to go home, and July 13 was not only my birthday, but also Yang Xiaoliu's Qiqi, and according to the custom of her hometown, she had to do a ritual for her on the night of her seventh birthday.
I didn't want to face the fact of Yang Xiaoliu's death anymore, and I put it off again and again, but in the end I couldn't beat my mother's serial life-killing call, and I set off from Guiyang after nearly ten o'clock.
Just a few hundred meters out of the highway toll booth, I saw a woman in red waving to stop the car.
How can someone stop a car on the highway at night? I felt weird.
After two seconds of hesitation, I didn't stop.
Today is Yang Xiaoliu's Qiqi, and I can't use her car to carry other women.
But as the car drove past her, I couldn't help but look at her twice.
The faint light illuminated her beautifully, with long wavy hair black and bright, a standard melon seed face, and delicate facial features; The close-fitting red dress makes her figure look excellent, tight hips, plus slender legs, and endless charm between gestures, which is even more side-catching The protruding twin peaks on her chest are really easy to control.
