Chapter 16 Second Uncle Zhang, who wants to speak and stops
Widow Chen said: "A person like my sister-in-law is not worth doing this at all!" ”
I tried my best to comfort her, in fact, in my heart, there is nothing worthy or unworthy, maybe Widow Chen is notorious outside, but I can feel that this woman is not as unbearable as she says outside.
My mother sighed and said, "Mother-in-law Chen, get up quickly, don't cry, cry again, you will break your body......"
Widow Chen shook her head, whimpered and cried, and fell into my arms, her pink fists still beating my shoulders. Tears quickly wet my shoulders, and I felt slimy.
I felt a little embarrassed, after all, my mother was still around, and it was really unreasonable to hold a little widow like this. Two hands on her shoulders, trying to distance herself, only to see my mother glaring at me fiercely.
I lost my temper and let the woman cry enough before helping her back to her room.
Widow Chen sat on my bed, stunned, and after a long time, she whispered with a red face: "Yang Sheng, sister-in-law...... Isn't it embarrassing? ”
I don't know what she was talking about, whether it was about the scared pee last night or the crying she just had, but in between, I didn't feel a little embarrassed about her.
Widow Chen sighed lightly and said with a blushing face: "Yang Sheng, sister-in-law has caused you trouble!" ”
"No......," I said with a blushing face.
Widow Chen's pretty face turned red, lowered her head and said: "The second leper is shameless, the sister-in-law and the third laizi back then are actually ......."
I stared at Widow Chen, with an indescribable nervousness, as if a heart had reached my throat, because I did have some nostalgia for him and Sanlaizi.
Widow Chen blushed, as if she was ashamed, "Actually, it's not as ...... as the outside world says."
I seemed to feel a little better in my heart, seeing her blushing face, I hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, if you don't want to go to the second leper's house, no one can force you, as long as I, Yang Sheng, am still there, no one can!" ”
I don't know if I'm talking about being domineering, but I saw Widow Chen lower her head and hummed softly.
I didn't know what to do, so I had to go out in disgrace, but I heard Widow Chen in the house and whispered, "Yang Sheng, my name is ...... Shen Mo ......"
There was a glimmer of joy in my heart, which came unjustifiably but filled my entire chest.
After lunch, my mother discussed with me, saying that Widow Chen was not suitable to live alone now, otherwise the two lepers would have done everything. If I don't care about fame, I'll let Widow Chen stay in my house for the time being.
Of course I'm happy, but as for fame or something, I haven't thought about it until now. If I really let the second leper succeed, then I can regret dying. I don't know if this is a common problem of men, I always feel that Widow Chen is a poor person who needs to be protected, and even in my heart, there is always a little expectation that she can live in my house.
After this matter was fine, my mother began to clean up the warehouse, saying that it was a warehouse, but it was actually a house, but it was usually not inhabited, and some sundries were installed.
After I helped my mother clean up, I washed my hands and went to Uncle Zhang's house.
There are a lot of questions, and I want to ask Second Uncle Zhang, especially about that river. I feel that the only person who knows all this now is Uncle Zhang.
When I entered the door, I went to see Zhang Mo first, and saw him lying on the kang, his face was a little pale, but it was much better than the previous two days, at least his face had recovered some blood.
Seeing that Zhang Mo was asleep, I looked at Second Uncle Zhang out of the corner of my eye.
Second Uncle Zhang sat on the edge of the kang, snorting old dry tobacco in his mouth, and he didn't mean to speak.
"Second uncle, the identity of the female corpse has been found, it is from Chenjiazhuang, but she has been dead for more than 20 years, and she was swept away by the flood when the flash flood broke out that year!" I saw that Second Uncle Zhang didn't move, so I brewed for a while and spoke.
Second Uncle Zhang's movements froze, and then nodded, still without speaking.
I watched it for a long time before I sighed and said, "Second uncle, if you know anything, just tell me, I've been by this female corpse in the past few days, and I'm really a little mentally lacking......"
Second Uncle Zhang raised his head and glanced at me, and said, "Second Uncle doesn't know ...... either."
"Second uncle!" I was anxious, with anxiety on my face, "It's all come to this point, do you still want to hide it?" I know, you must know some insiders, I just want to know what happened to this female corpse, is it related to the flood of that year? ”
Second Uncle Zhang's movements were a little hesitant, and he sighed and said, "Yang Sheng, the year is not good!" ”
"Second uncle!" I called out to him anxiously.
Second Uncle Zhang sighed and said, "Actually, there are many things, it's not that the second uncle doesn't tell you, but he can't tell you!" ”
"Second uncle, then tell me, does this female corpse have anything to do with the flood that year?" I stared at Second Uncle Zhang and asked.
Second Uncle Zhang nodded lightly after a long time.
I stood up suddenly, my face turned pale for a while, although I had expected it in my heart, but after seeing Second Uncle Zhang's response, I still felt a little incredible. So many people died back then, and not a single corpse was fished out, and now a female corpse is suddenly fished out, does this imply something?
"Second uncle, last night, Mr. Xue was led away, do you know who led him away?" I asked nervously.
Second Uncle Zhang opened his mouth and shook his head strugglingly, "Second Uncle didn't see it clearly!" ”
I was stunned, my heart was a little complicated, the second uncle's expression had betrayed him, he must know who did it, and he also knew who was behind me.
"Yang Sheng, go back, when I can tell you, the second uncle will tell you everything as it is!" Second Uncle Zhang sighed, and then said: "There are some things that Second Uncle hasn't figured out yet, but you have to remember that Second Uncle is all for your good!" ”
When I heard Second Uncle Zhang's words, I felt a little worried, "Second Uncle, then you tell me, what is this female corpse?" ”
Second Uncle Zhang's cloudy eyes seemed to have a sense of death, and he opened his mouth, and after a long time, he said, "Second Uncle doesn't know either!" Yang Sheng, don't ask, there are some things that you know too much, and it won't do you any good! Second uncle, this is all for you, as long as the time is ripe, the second uncle will never hide it from you again! ”
I didn't know what to do for a while, and I wanted to continue to ask, but Second Uncle Zhang didn't say whether he was alive or dead. I couldn't do anything but sigh and turn around and leave Second Uncle Zhang's house.
Although Uncle Zhang didn't tell me many things, one thing he said was very clear, this female corpse was related to the flash flood that year. This made my heart suddenly pinch, the second uncle's statement shows that the things of the year were really not so simple.
I still clearly remember that the people in the village said that my father died in the flood that year, and he was sacrificed alive by Uncle Zhang. Unexpectedly, after 20 years, there was a corpse floating out of the river, which made me have a delusion, I don't know if my father's corpse will also float on the Wangchuan River in the early morning of one day.
After it got dark, I rolled three pieces of yellow paper and prepared to go to the ancestral hall to burn it, who knew that when I first arrived at the ancestral hall, I saw Uncle Zhang walking out of the ancestral hall. When he came out, he locked the big brass lock, and the key hung on his waist.
It seems that what Xue Liangui explained, Second Uncle Zhang has already done, and I don't need to worry about it at all.
This made me feel more relaxed, after all, I was even more powerless in the face of the female corpse.
Second Uncle Zhang saw me, just nodded to me, then leaned over and turned around and went home. His health is not good, and he is very old these years, but he can still give me a peace of mind.
I sighed softly and went back the way I came, all the way home.
When we got home, my mother and Widow Chen had already packed up the dishes and chopsticks and were ready to eat. Maybe I shouldn't call her Widow Chen now, but Shen Moying.
In fact, there is no real family affection between me and Widow Chen, calling her sister-in-law, that is because they used to be neighbors, and she was originally the man, I should call her a neighbor brother. It's just that the eldest brother is gone, and Widow Chen has been widowed for so many years, and now she has changed her name to her own, which is understandable.
After dinner, I went into the warehouse, hugged my luggage, and lived a 'warehouse' life. Shen Mozhi is a guest after all, how can he let people live here? I let her stay in that room for a while, and there is nothing wrong with it.
That night, I slept so hard that I slept almost until dawn. I tossed for several days before, and I haven't slept so comfortably, and then I feel that sleeping is actually a kind of happiness.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I immediately leaned on the window and glanced into the courtyard, and I was immediately relieved at the bottom of my heart, and the whole person was much more relaxed.
The yard outside the window was empty, and there was nothing but a few chickens pecking rice. In this way, the ancestral hall is relatively safe, at least the female corpse did not come last night.
After breakfast, there were rumors in the village again, and this time the rumors and rumors directly pushed me to the target. I don't know which bastard said it, saying that the female corpse came back, and she came back to collect debts. So many people died back then, and the worst one was my dad, this is my dad who came back to collect debts, otherwise what would he do in my yard every day? That's because, my dad wants to see me!
As soon as this statement appeared, it was immediately accepted by everyone, after all, yesterday morning, Wang Chuanhe made a big noise, and it was almost exactly the same as back then. The big guys talked a lot, and they said it vividly, and even accentuated the tone a little.
This news was able to reach my house, or Shen Mozhi went home to pick up some daily necessities, and on the road in the morning, he heard others talking.
I was a little angry, but there was nothing I could do but grit my teeth and keep silent. I thought that even if someone said about this matter, not many people would care, but something happened that made everyone jaw-dropping, and confirmed everyone's opinion on this matter.
Not long after breakfast, Zhang Mo had an accident......
