Chapter 15: The Two Lepers
After comforting the old man, he stood up, stared at the photo with me, and said, "If nothing went wrong, it should be!" Of all the surrounding villages, only this one fits the target character......"
Still unbelieving, I asked her, "So, is this really her?" ”
Warm and numbly nodded, "Although I can't believe it, but some things, aren't they happening?" Like your experience these days, and this ......"
Wen Wen pointed to the photo, and there was no half wave in his eyes, as if he had already identified the matter.
I was cold, and I still couldn't believe it, but at this time, the old lady sighed and said, "Are you two people from the government?" Did you find my daughter? ”
I opened my mouth, not knowing what to say, but fortunately, I reacted quickly, and opened my mouth to say, "Grandma, the two of us are here because we have good news to tell you......"
I thought that Wen Wen had to tell the truth, so I hurriedly waved my hand at her, this matter must not be said, otherwise it will be too big a blow to the old man.
Wen Wen said with a smile: "We have been counting the missing people of the year these days, and giving you some assistance is all government expenses......
The old lady sighed and said, "Eh...... When the people are gone, what do you want the relief money for? I thought that my daughter was washed downstream, rescued by someone, and came back to confess......"
When she said this, the old lady's expression was very lonely, and the spirit of the whole person was reduced to the extreme at this moment.
"Yes, we will continue to investigate, and maybe one day, she will be able to come back to see you!" Warmth said.
"Really?" Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up, as if the slit that opened was scorching with a heat that was more dazzling than the sun.
I didn't know what to say, but I could silently walk out of the house alone, looking at the weeds in the yard, and my heart was extremely irritable.
The flash flood took away too many people, but left too many worries.
Ten minutes later, Wen Wen came out of the house and left the village with me. I sat in the car, and I didn't know what to say, so I didn't say a word. Looking at the mountain road in the distance, my head was buzzing. The identity of the female corpse was confirmed, and she was not the daughter of the river god, but it was even more terrifying than the daughter of the river god.
How unbelievable is it that a man who has been dead for twenty years suddenly floats in the river?
The car stopped at Sanwangzhai, stared at me warmly, and asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”
"Let's talk about it!" I smiled miserably, got out of the car, looked at Sanwangzhai, and went home with my head down.
How? I don't even have a concrete idea right now, what can I do? The only thing that can be done now is to protect this female corpse and create time for Xue Liangui to figure out what this female corpse is, and then have a chance to start. But I have a feeling that this female corpse seems to be inextricably linked with the events of the past, and I can't tell what the connection is.
As soon as I arrived at the door, there was a quarrel in the courtyard, and it was quite intense.
I opened the courtyard door and saw that the courtyard was full of people, led by a scoundrel from the stockade, called Erle.
The two leper brothers are three well-known lazy men in the village. At that time, these three brothers could be said to be the most bizarre people in the village, they were all lazy and lazy, and no one liked to go to the field, resulting in a few acres of land at home that were already full of weeds.
Occasionally, there are kind-hearted old people who go up to persuade three people, and these three people can beat people out of the door with shovels, and tell people with a proud face that they don't need outsiders to take care of their own affairs, and God has eyes, and he can't die of hunger.
The so-called starvation is that during the autumn harvest, the three brothers carried sacks and went to the fields of each family to steal, and after being caught, they would even use knives to threaten them. There were many complaints in the stockade, but no one treated them, which made them even more unscrupulous. And the reputation is so bad that when he was in his forties, he didn't even have a wife, which made the three brothers have evil thoughts and began to think about other people's wives.
Back then, Sanlaizi fell in love with Widow Chen, and played hooligans at Widow Chen's door every day, and later someone bumped into him pulling Widow Chen, and staged a living spring palace in the bud rice field, and Sanlaizi died that night. As for what is going on, no one knows.
The big leper fought a few years ago and was caught in the bureau, and now only these two lepers are left, and they are still hanging in the village every day.
For so many years, no matter how arrogant the three brothers are, they have a lot of jealousy of my family, all because their surname is Xie, and the one who saw my dad floating on the river was their father Xie Old Man.
Although Old Man Xie is dead, the three brothers have inherited their fears, and when they see me, they will take a detour. I didn't expect that these two lepers would come to my yard today.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother holding a rolling pin, staring at the second leper with angry eyes, with an angry look on her face.
The second leper smiled, but said something, "Sister-in-law, we are all from the township, don't I also think about you?" At your age, don't follow it, it's our family's business after all! ”
"No one's business is anyone's business!" My mom argued.
I hurriedly walked up, and before I could understand what was going on, the second leper took my hand and said with a smile: "Yang Sheng, it has really become more and more interesting over the years, which makes the second uncle dare not admit it!" Tell your mother quickly, the second uncle is here to pick up people, and he always bothers you at your house, which is not like that! ”
"Pick up someone? Who do you pick up? I looked at the two lepers warily.
The second leper was immediately happy, "Yang Sheng, are you still playing dumb riddles with your second uncle?" Who can the second uncle pick up? Isn't it just picking up the little widow of the Chen family? Back then, the little widow had a relationship with your third uncle in our family, and that was our Xie family. Regardless of how disgusting she is, we should all take it back, right? ”
I looked at the second leper, I was so angry and angry, I wanted to kick him to death. This man is already shameless to the extreme, and I am afraid that no one can compare with him. This must be this morning, Xue Liangui said that Widow Chen is not Kefu's life at all, which made him think about it, first get this Widow Chen home, as for what to do when you get it back, everyone in the world knows.
"Yang Sheng, do you think what the second uncle said is not important?" The second leper asked me with a grin.
"Mind your mom next door!" I glared at him, turned around and went into the kitchen, picked up the kitchen knife in the kitchen, and spun out.
The second leper was stunned for a moment, and when he saw me coming out with a kitchen knife, he was also startled, "Yang Sheng, what are you going to do?" Let's be reasonable, what do you mean by carrying a kitchen knife? ”
I picked up the kitchen knife, glanced at the people around me, and said, "Reasonable? Reasoning with you, a dog mongrel, Lao Tzu is tired and panicked, don't you just want to take back the sister-in-law of the Chen family? Come on, let's see if I will kill you first, or if you will take the people back first! ”
The people in the courtyard were in chaos, their faces turned pale, some came up to pull me, some asked me to put down the knife first, and some even said that it was better to follow the meaning of the two lepers and send the widow of the Chen family back.
As soon as I heard these words, my face turned a little pale, and I slashed the kitchen knife to the door frame, and said loudly: "Whoever is here is a special mother, Lao Tzu will kill whoever is the first!" ”
"Yang Sheng, you are a college student, you have a bright future in the future, how can you not understand the law? If you cut someone, you will cut off your own good future! The second leper scolded and said.
"Come on, I don't want a future, I want to see if you can pick people up!" I glared at him viciously, my eyes red. I originally heard that the female corpse died twenty years ago, which made me feel very bad, and these two lepers happened to hit the muzzle of the gun. Others may follow his thoughts, but Lao Tzu will definitely not follow his thoughts, if he is asked to take Widow Chen away, then Widow Chen's life will be completely over.
"Good, good!" The second leper said three good words in a row, and then turned around and shouted: "Yang Sheng, you are getting along with Widow Chen, you don't even want your own face, big guy, listen to it, this is the widow who occupies the village!" ”
The crowd was surging, but few people were willing to talk, and this could be said behind my back, and if I said it now, it would definitely make me hold a grudge.
The second leper turned around and stared at me, "Okay, Yang Sheng, let's see, I'll see who this god is heading for!" ”
I stared at him, too lazy to speak, and saw the second leper leaving with a group of people, so I breathed a sigh of relief, put away the kitchen knife, and turned around silently.
My mom followed me, didn't say anything, and even gave me an encouraging look.
My heart was warm, and after I put down the kitchen knife, I saw Widow Chen standing at the door of my room, looking at me with tears in her eyes.
Her expression made me feel a little embarrassed, and I hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry......"
Speaking of which, I suddenly didn't know what to say, could it be reassuring that I would never hand her over to the second leper? When I said this, I felt a little ambiguous anyway.
At this time, Widow Chen made a move that shocked me incomparably, and froze in place for a while.
She actually knelt down!
Widow Chen was in tears, with a pitiful expression on her face, crying like a pear blossom with rain, knelt in front of me, and her whole body collapsed to the ground.
I was so frightened that I hurriedly helped her up, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" ”
Widow Chen wiped her tears, but she kept crying, heartbroken, it was really distressing. To be honest, although I haven't spoken to Widow Chen for so many years, I do regard this woman as the object of some of my fantasies. When she knelt down like this, it suddenly disturbed my heart and made one of my hearts tug up.
I sighed and persuaded two words, but no matter how I tried to persuade her, Widow Chen couldn't stop her tears, and she said something with tears in her eyes, something I will never forget in my life......
