Chapter 028: The Banks of the Difficult River
"And then?" I feel sorry for that girl.
Aunt Osmanthus looked sorry and said: "The four brothers were afraid that the girl would run again, so they locked the house with an iron chain, I passed by on the ground, and often heard the girl crying in the house, shouting that there was a ghost, so crazy for a long time, the child in the belly was three months old, broke the chain, and died on the back wall of Zhang Wang's house." ”
I couldn't help but widen my eyes.
"For this matter, the four brothers almost fought with Zhang Wang's family, and in the end, Zhang Wang's family lost tens of thousands of yuan, and this matter was over, and the four brothers just left last month, saying that they went out to work." She said.
I swallowed and turned my head to look at Yu Hao, who was standing in the shade at the gate of the courtyard.
He was also surprised.
I wiped my sweat and said, "It turns out that the backyard of the Zhang family is so evil." ”
Thanks to the fact that I didn't meet anyone from the Zhang family last night.
Aunt Osmanthus agreed with my words, "No, to say something unpleasant, Zhang Wang's death is not unjust, he doesn't know how many bad things he has done over the years, I heard the fourth aunt next door say that she saw Zhang Wang come back with a child one night, but we live in this village, and we have never seen a child from Zhang Wang's family come out, do you say this is evil?" ”
"Did you really see that?" I asked.
Aunt Osmanthus nodded, "That's what the fourth aunt said." ”
"Auntie, do you know how Zhang Wang died? Who else is in his family now? I asked again.
"Drink to death." Aunt Osmanthus replied: "I was sent to the hospital for examination, and the doctor said that if I drank too much, my heart would be ischemia, and I didn't know why my heart was ischemia after drinking, and he didn't have a wife or children." ”
No wonder I went to the backyard of Zhang Wang's house yesterday and broke the dojo, and no one came out to stop it.
I gossiped with Aunt Osmanthus again, and then I came out of her house.
"Now there is a problem, I can't be sure that the dojo that took away the longevity was put up by Zhang Wang." I frowned and said to Yu Hao, "Maybe he still has an accomplice." ”
And Zhang Wang's death is strange enough.
Yu Hao said: "There is indeed a problem, since he has arranged such a powerful life-stealing dojo, how can he die successfully in the dojo." ”
I had an idea, first rode the electric car back to our village, parked the electric car at the second uncle's house, and then carried a basket and pretended to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, turned around from the mountain to Hongshi Village, and climbed over the wall into Zhang Wang's house.
The man who had come out of the corn stalk was still in the backyard, and the blood in the ditch had dried up, so I jumped onto the stone slab, took two steps, and stopped abruptly.
"The sound is not right, the head of the slate is empty." I found a pickaxe at the base of the wall and cut the slate open in a few clicks.
Beneath the slab was a coffin-shaped pit, plastered with lime at the bottom and on all four walls, in which lay a child.
Half a child, to be exact, this child only has limbs and a head, and his body uses corn stalks, and his real body doesn't know where he went.
It seems that what the fourth aunt next door said is true, Zhang Wang did carry back a child.
I carefully put the slate aside, and I didn't dare to go into the house anymore, so I took out my mobile phone and called the police.
While waiting for the police to come, Yu Hao went to the house and walked around, floated out with a piece of talisman paper, and said, "Zhang Wang still has accomplices, look at this talisman." ”
I took a look, although I don't know how to draw talismans, but I finally saw that Uncle Niu had used the Tongyin talisman, and compared with him, this talisman paper is simply impossible to read.
Not to mention the rough painting, the runes are still wrong.
From this talisman, it can be seen that Zhang Wang is not even an entry-level Taoist, and he can't complete the exquisite longevity dojo at all, and he must have accomplices.
But things have developed so far, I am even more confused, my father sent me a message through Tian Guotao, did he simply let me break this dojo?
After more than half an hour, the police arrived, searched for Zhang Wang's house for a long time, and finally fished out the child's body from the pit.
I went to the police station to make a record, ruled out my suspicions, and let me go home.
When I returned to our village, the news of Zhang Wang's family had already spread, and I heard from the people in the village that Zhao Hua from Dayingzi Village fell into a ditch while working the day before yesterday, and the person disappeared directly.
"When I heard that Zhao Hua was gone the day before yesterday, I wondered how I could fall to death in a deep ditch by myself." When the second aunt said this, she looked at me nervously: "Cong, you must not be like Zhang Wang, if you can't make money in the county, you can go home, I and your second uncle are not as capable as your parents, but I can also let you eat." ”
The second uncle also said beside him: "Yes, you can't ruin your father's reputation, this year's harvest is good, and our family will have money if we sell it in a few days." ”
I took my second aunt's arm and said with a smile: "Wherever you want to go, I will look at it, not those things." ”
The second aunt and the second uncle were relieved, and the two began to go to the kitchen to work, insisting that I have a meal at home.
I wanted to help, but I was kicked out by my second aunt, so I simply sat on the threshold and watched my second uncle and second aunt busy with their work.
Yu Hao said that there was nothing suspicious in Zhang Wang's house, and the only clues were three notes in the yard.
An An was rescued, Zhao Hua died, and only Liu Qing on the bank of the difficult river remained.
I'm pretty sure there's no place near us on the banks of the Nan River, and when I get back to the store and ask Yu Hao and Uncle Niu, maybe they know.
In the afternoon, as soon as I entered the county seat, I received a call from Uncle Niu.
On the way back, I received a call from Uncle Niu, saying that I should go to the inpatient department of the county hospital to find him.
Is this hurting?
I didn't even enter the house, and ran to the county hospital, and when I arrived at Uncle Niu's ward, I saw that he was injured, the long one was a finger long, the short one was the size of a fingernail, and his right leg was wrapped in a bandage.
"Uncle Niu, why are you injured like this?" I exclaimed.
His face was pale, his mouth was chapped, all bloodstained, coughing and said: "I took a job a few days ago, and I still failed after tossing for a long time, and I was beaten by my family, all of them were traumatic, nothing serious, I see that you have called me a lot in the past few days, what's wrong?" ”
I hurriedly told Zhang Wang's family about it, but I didn't mention that Tian Guotao also knew my father, Uncle Niu smashed his fist on the bed and said angrily: "Take your life? It turned out to be a longevity. ”
"Uncle Niu, is this the kind of work you take?" I asked.
He nodded and said, "Yes, the job I took was also a child with good fortune and longevity, but I was delayed for a day on the road, and I went late, and the child was not only robbed of ten years of longevity, but also injured his soul, and now he is still lying in the hospital and has not woken up, so he was beaten by his family." ”
His expression was very guilty, "I deserve this beating." ”
"Uncle Niu, do you know the banks of the difficult river? There is a note in the courtyard of Zhang Wang's house that reads Nanhebank, Liu Qing, March 2, 1968. I said.
Uncle Niu was stunned, looked a little in a trance, and said for a long time: "I know." ”
"Where?" I hurriedly asked.
Uncle Niu shook his head, lay down again, and said, "I'll sleep, you can go back first." ”
Halfway through the words, the taste of not being able to go up or down is really uncomfortable.
I said angrily, "Love to say it or not." ”
I returned to the store with a huff, and when I saw the situation in the store, my heart sank.
A large hole had been smashed into the floor, and the bowl buried in it had shattered, and the hair was scattered all over the floor.
