Chapter 5: A Bolt from the Clear
The old man decided the matter quickly, it is said that Wei Zhun is a man, and he should not have other thoughts about this kind of good thing, sleep, who wouldn't. After drinking, Wei Zhun slept here in the afternoon, and it happened that there were still a lot of wine and food at home, so he saved it for another meal in the evening. Because of her father's decision, Xiuzhen was full of joy, without the slightest awkwardness and grievance, she looked more like a man than Wei Zhun.
In the evening, Tian Qingguo was killing chickens by the river, and his wife came over.
"Qingguo, do you think that's true?"
"What's the matter?"
The woman sighed: "Why are you so heartless, what else can you do, Meiqin's death."
"What can you say...... Tian Qingguo stared at the rooster in his hand that was no longer fluttering self-deprecatingly: "When people die, they will be buried, and I will go over to help when the funeral comes."
"I'm not asking you this, I went to Qingxi's house in the afternoon, and he also knows about it, Wei Zhun's kid is not blind, he is well-founded, the big guys know it, and you still look like a deaf person."
"You think I don't know?"
"That'...... You know that you are still so calm, you are not afraid of the injustice of the mother-in-law's soul to ask for your life. β
"Old ladies, chew your tongue all day long." He pointed to his woman: "I can warn you, don't shout all over the world, just assume that our family doesn't know about this at all, understand?"
"It's not me shouting now, such a big thing as a dead person, Tianjiagou has already spread it all over, and they all say that it is the ghost of the third daughter-in-law of the Song family."
"Are you looking for a beatingβa stupid woman with a rotten tongue."
Women can't resist men, so they can only mention their daughter's affairs first: "Then why don't you directly let Wei Zhun into Xiuzhen's house, and let him sleep here, you are not afraid that something will happen, and the spitting stars of the people in the village can drown you."
Where is the ingenuity of a big man can be understood by a woman who can only wrap around the root of the tongue, as long as Wei Zhun is still an official, Tian Qingguo will have good food and drink, hoping to leave this remote countryside one day.
In the house, Wei Zhun sat on the edge of the bed, Xiuzhen also sits, and the two of them shook their legs, colliding with each other, hooking up, and hooking up, which was a little interesting.
"Hey, you're just sitting there all the time?"
Xiuzhen's face was flushed, her lips were delicate, she was unusual, and she didn't take the initiative to hug Wei Zhun. It's not daytime, let alone outdoors, and it's better for men to take the initiative in private.
"Not good." Wei Zhun looked out the window: "Your parents are at home, let's not do that."
"You still don't understand my father's intentions, he let you sleep in my room, this is the custom of our hometown 'beating the quilt', and it is 100% approved of your son-in-law. We slept tonight, and I am your daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, and I will be your person for the rest of my life. β
She is very beautiful, Wei Zhun's heartbeat is fast, at this moment, he should pounce on it like a man, but he can't do anything. Tonight, reason should not occupy this room, but Wei Zhun couldn't get rid of this depression: "Then don't be in a hurry in advance, wait until after dinner." Xiuzhen, I have something else to ask you. β
Xiuzhen pouted: "I know what you want to say."
"You are from Tianjiagou, you must know what happened back then."
"At that time, I was still young, only ten years old, and I only knew that my father had something to do with this incident, and most of the men in the village, especially those surnamed Tian, had something to do with it. It seems like...... Died a woman from out of town, I don't know where it came from, it was a second marriage, I heard that the person was very beautiful, but Hongxing went out of the wall, hooked up with a wild man, and was afraid that others would say her, so she jumped into the river and died. β
"Jumping into the river?"
"yes, I didn't see it with my own eyes."
Is it just such an understatement, if this is the case, why are the people in the village afraid to mention her, if it is really her own sin, why are the unjust spirits angry with others. It's funny, Wei Zhun still believes in the saying that 'soul' is not 'soul'.
"Kiss me."
"Huh?"
"Ahh Xiuzhen closed her eyes and leaned her mouth over.
Knock knock knock - the door rang, three times in a hurry, followed by Xiuzhen's mother's shout: "Xiuzhen, open the door, open the door quickly."
Xiuzhen rolled her eyes, got up very unhappily and went to open it, only a slit was made: "Mom, what are you doing, I'm talking to Wei Zhun about something, what do you have to talk about at dinner later."
Xiuzhen's mother glanced at Wei Zhun on this side and muttered two words in her daughter's ear. Immediately, the daughter's round eyes were muzzled: "Really?!"
Mother nodded: "At night, the village chief called all the big guys over, you and Wei Zhun are not allowed to go anywhere, just stay here, do you hear?"
"What's wrong?"
Xiuzhen returned to the edge of the bed and sat down, her hand grasping the sheets: "Someone in the blowing team has an accident."
"Dead?"
"It's not dead, it's just blowing all the time, and it doesn't stop, outsiders can't stop it, this person blows himself exhausted and faints." Speaking of this, she held Wei Zhun's hand: "Wei Zhun, I'm so worried that our family will also be in trouble, do you think I'm too careful."
Wei Zhun wanted to go over and take a look, Xiuzhen didn't allow it, she pierced Wei Zhun's deepest entanglement: "You really take yourself as an official, you are the one who runs errands up and down in the village, but if there is a little benefit, who would have thought of you." The village chief just uses you as a maid, and you can use it when you use it, and it's too late to get rid of it if you don't need it. Let them go with their own. β
Click-Click-Boom!!!!!!!
Lightning pierced the clear sky that was gradually ending, shocking people's hearts.
The bodies of the two of them were also touched by this lightning, and their hearts were pounding.
"It's raining...... Xiuzhen was comforting herself, but her eyes were staring at the sky outside the window.
When it doesn't rain, there's just a thunderbolt.
Thunder on a sunny day, what else can it be if it is not a grievance.
They couldn't sit still, so they both ran in the direction of Tian Zhaofu's house, and a large group of people surrounded the door, enclosing something.
"Xiuzhen?" When the mother saw her daughter, she said, "Didn't you stay at home, what are you doing?"
Wei Zhun pushed away the crowd and saw a charred black corpse on the ground, a male corpse, who couldn't see who it was, his eyes were still open, his arms were up, and his fingers seemed to be grasping something.
The village chief brought a few people from the west and carried the body on a stretcher: "Don't look at it, what should you do."
Human life is a big matter, you are so hasty as the village head?
"Village chief, who is the one who died?"
He ignored Wei Zhun at all, and beckoned a few young and strong people to carry people in the direction of the ancestral hall.
It just so happened that Luo Siping was on the side, and he pulled Wei Zhun aside: "It was Tian Qingxi who died, and Lei Chop died." It's scary, it's okay just now, and if you say you're dead, you're dead. β
"You saw him killed by lightning?" Wei Zhun thought it was very dramatic.
"That's still fake, I came here with my mother-in-law, and they covered Meiqin's body and didn't let me see it. If you don't let you see it, you won't let you see it, it's nothing to see. Brother, thunder and death on a sunny day, how is this the same as on TV. It's funny, but Luo Siping looked worried: "I heard about that woman's grave, shouldn't the people of the Tian family be unlucky."
"Siping, don't think about it, it may be an accident."
Even he didn't believe what he said.
There is one person who must know all these things, that is, the Seventh Po, the woman who looks at the fortune teller. The seventh woman was not originally from Tianjiagou, because among the people of the old Tian family, there was a man who was injured and had no fertility, and he couldn't even marry a wife, so he could only adopt a child, that is, the seventh woman, no one knew where the seventh woman came from, only that it was an adopted daughter who was bought for fifty yuan. After the death of his father, the seventh woman also became a member of Tianjiagou, and married a man earlier, that is, Tian Qingwen, the eldest among the Qingzi generation, but unfortunately died early, and even left a seed. is also because his father is the highest, so no one is disrespectful to the seventh woman. But as for why she is called Qipo, it is unknown.
Before dinner, Wei Zhun went to find this woman, and Xiuzhen followed.
Tian Qingwen originally had two tiled houses, but after his death, several other brothers of the Tian family divided it, and the land was also divided, saying that this was the property left by the old Tian family and did not belong to Tian Qingwen personally. The seventh woman didn't bother with them, but fortunately, she still had about 30 yuan in her hand at that time, so she asked a few people to help build a brick house that could only accommodate one person, which was less than 20 square meters. Over the years, the seventh woman has earned some money by visiting the ancestral hall in the village, but she can't starve to death.
"Seven women?" Sujin pushed open the door.
It was dark inside, and the light bulbs weren't lit.
"Which one?" The old man was lying on the bed, and when he saw someone coming in, he got up and put on a gown: "It's Xiuzhen, it's a big night, why did you come to me."
Wei Zhun moved the stool himself and sat down: "Seventh woman, I have something I want to ask you."
"I still ask for advice, what do I have to ask an old woman, you just say it."
"What happened back then, why did they all say that they had something to do with the woman of the Song family, what was the origin of that woman, and how did she die."
The seventh woman felt in her pocket and looked for a cigarette, Wei Zhun handed one over and lit it for the old man.
The old man smiled bitterly: "Tianjiagou's matter is an ugly thing, I persuaded them, don't be ruthless, they just don't listen." I didn't get involved in that incident back then, it was my dead ghost husband who picked the head, and he died within two years, which was also retribution. If you let me say, I'll tell you that the third daughter-in-law of the Song family, I don't know which Song family, the second-married woman, Tian Qingzhong married back. They all called the woman the third daughter-in-law of the Song family, but they did not recognize the fact that this woman married into the village, and there was no name of this woman on the family tree. I know, her name is Li Qiufeng, but she is a big beauty, and she is ruined. β
Wei Zhun followed and said, "I heard that she stole people."
"Well, there's such a thing." The seventh woman nodded and took a puff of her cigarette: "At that time, Tian Qingzhong was working in other places and didn't come back, so I took someone to her house, tied them up, and pulled them down to the ancestral hall, which humiliated the Tian family." Treat her well, then ...... And they beat them to death. β
"It's against the law!" Xiuzhen said immediately.
Wei Zhun asked, "What about the man?" Who's the one who stole people?"
"I didn't see it, I heard it run away. This matter should be handed over to the township, and it is impossible to beat people to death in private. I'm afraid you don't know yet, after they killed Li Qiufeng, they didn't cremate them, and they directly divided the people. β
"Divided?!"
"Howβhow?"
"My hands and feet were cut off, my tongue was cut off, and my eyes were gouged out. The body was divided into several sections, and when Qingzhong came back, he cried a lot, because the people in the village were so convincing that he had to be aggrieved, and made a grave for the woman, and then went out and never came back. β
Now Wei Zhun knew why the people in the village never mentioned this matter, if they were stabbed out, everyone would have to go to jail, which was murder.
"Who came up with the idea to make people like that?"
