Chapter 43 Calling the Soul
After more than half an hour, the group finally arrived at Chenjiazhai. Chen Yumen, the village director, was already waiting at the entrance of the village.
"Director Chen, I've kept you waiting!" Jiang Daokun got out of the car and reached out to hold Chen Yumen.
"Director Jiang, it's been hard all the way! Hurry, we're all hungry, let's eat first. Chen Yumen beckoned everyone to enter the village. The highway only goes to the village, and it is full of pedestrian stone paths.
Everyone followed Chen Yumen for a few steps, and suddenly heard a sound of gongs and drums, and five or six mountain people were walking towards the outside of the village. In the crowd, there was a woman in her twenties and thirties crying, and the people next to her were whispering to comfort her.
The prince said in his heart: Are these people Huang Sanmei's family members?
Just when I was confused, I saw an old woman in her sixties in the crowd, with a knife in her left hand and a token in her right hand, shouting loudly in her mouth: "Little Erwa, three souls and seven spirits come home...... and then a song sounded:
"You're coming,
Come on,
Don't be in front of the mountain and behind the mountain;
You're going to,
Hurry up,
Don't go around in front of the mountain and behind the mountain.
Calling you across the mountain, the other mountain should be,
Calling you across the river to turn around.
The rooster crows and the dog cries to scare you,
It's the ghosts and gods that frighten you.
Quickly snap the same way you came from,
Don't let your loved ones worry anymore.
……”
The song is gentle and sad, and the heart of the listener is sad. Wang Ziheng listened to it in his ears, but he had a familiar feeling: this tune is very similar to the funeral song sung by his old husband!
After this group of people walked past Chen Yumen and others, Jiang Daokun asked Chen Yumen: "This is called the soul!" To whom is it called? ”
Chen Yumen replied: "The second son of Chen Tongming's family. Today, the family went to the sheep horn to catch up, and after coming back in the afternoon, the little second baby had a high fever and couldn't wake up, full of nonsense. After asking someone to see it, it was concluded that he had lost his soul. ”
Jiang Daokun's heart tightened: "What age is this little second baby?" ”
Chen Yumen said: "It's more than four years old." ”
"Lao Chen!" Jiang Daokun grabbed Chen Yumen's shoulder, "Tell them quickly, go to the direction of Jingliangzi to find it, hurry up!" ”
"Liang Zi?" Chen Yumen's face changed greatly, "Director Jiang, did you see something?" That's right, our village to the sheep's horn, Jingliangzi is the only way, there has always been unclean......"
"Don't be verbose, hurry up and make it clear to others!" Jiang Daokun was anxious.
Chen Yumen hurriedly trotted to catch up with the group of people, and after explaining, he returned to Jiang Daokun's side and led everyone into his house.
Chen Yumen's house is very simple, and the bulbs that illuminate it are not very bright. After everyone entered the door, Chen Yumen's wife searched for melon seeds and candy and greeted everyone. In the kitchen, there is a shirtless fat old man who is carrying a big spoon and preparing food.
Jiang Daokun smiled at the old man in the kitchen and said, "Master Xie, you can taste your craftsmanship when you come back!" ”
"I'm afraid Director Jiang is tired of it." The old man turned his head and said curtly.
"What a joke! I'm used to eating Master Xie's taste, and I don't have any taste when I eat dragon meat! ”
This Master Xie is known as "Xie Daxi", his real name is no longer known to many people, he is an outsider from Chenjiazhai, an old bachelor in his fifties.
Xie Daxi's cooking skills are famous, and everyone in the nearby villages invites him to be the chef, so he got such a nickname.
When the cadres in the county and township arrived in Chenjiazhai, the village director Chen Yumen would call Xie Daxi to his home to help cook and entertain VIPs.
Before the dish was served, Chen Yumen had already proposed a pot of baogu wine.
Jiang Daokun hurriedly said: "Stabilize first, Director Chen, let's go to Huang's house to take a look first." ”
Chen Yumen stopped him: "Director Jiang, listen to my advice, eat first and then go, otherwise you won't be able to eat later!" Rest assured, I have asked the competent comrades in the village to guard and protect the scene, and the body is basically not moved. After eating, you and these little comrades will go over and have a look. ”
Chen Yumen is very reassuring to do things, and besides, this ninety percent is not a homicide, but it does not seem so urgent.
Jiang Daokun didn't shirk again, and the group of people who followed the line said: "Just listen to Director Chen's arrangement!" Come on, Director Chen is notoriously drunk and can't be drunk, you young people are so close to him! ”
Xiao Zhou, Xiao Liu and other policemen rolled up their sleeves and said that they wanted to fight with Chen Yumen; Wang Ziheng seemed a little restrained, and he couldn't let go of it somewhat; Zhang Shengli still looked sullen, his reaction was half a beat slow, and often people handed him all the wine, and he didn't notice it.
Everyone drank and chatted.
Wang Ziheng learned from the words that Chen Yumen's four children have all gone to work in other places, and the two old people are usually at home. This is basically the case in the entire Chenjia Village: the vast majority of young people go out to work, and those who stay in the village are the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Jiang Daokun suddenly thought of something, hurriedly took out a few pages from his briefcase, and handed them to Chen Yumen: "This is the investigation report sent by the bureau in the afternoon. Chen Tonghai in your village, this time he made a big mistake, kidnapped people for extortion, and now he is wanted everywhere. Lao Chen, you have to pay attention! ”
Chen Yumen took the report of the investigation, glanced at it, and snorted coldly: "This Chen Laosan is a scumbag, I expected him to be planted in it." By the way, you said that he kidnapped people for extortion, which family did he kidnap this time? ”
Jiang Daokun took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple!" He tied up his cousin-nephew, Chen Xianrui, the youngest son of Chen Tongsheng's family. You said that your Chen family is not chaotic! ”
Chen Yumen said with a dark face: "Shame, shame, shame, it's a shame for the ancestors!" These turtle sons don't have a good thing. Director Jiang, I really doubt that our old Chen family is buried in the wrong place? You see, first of all, Chen Tongsheng was such an unfilial son; and then Chen Tonghai, I don't know what to do outside these years, but you also know that his reputation is notorious, and now he is simply wanted; Last year, Chen Tonggui went in again for rape...... Fuck it, say it, I, the patriarch, want to find a crack in the ground to get into. ”
The two of you said a word to me, and the atmosphere was very warm, but Wang Ziheng on the side had already exploded in their conversation: Where don't you meet in life? Dare to love Chen Tongsheng is from this Chen Jiazhai walked out! In this way, that Chen Tonghai is no one else, it is none other than the "third brother" in Xiao Bajin's mouth.
What kind of fate is this, so that two people with average friendship can't be separated wherever they go?
Wang Ziheng squinted at the few investigation notices, and sure enough, the wanted criminal was the appearance of the "third brother".
At this time, several people came in one after another outside the door, and Jiang Daokun greeted them one by one. These people are all village cadres.
Chen Yumen shook the report of the investigation in front of everyone, and said, "Have any of you seen this little bastard today?" ”
Among the people who entered the door, there was a hunchbacked cropper man, who glanced at the assistant investigation report, and said in a dumb voice: "I seem to have seen Sanwazi's motorcycle this morning, but I didn't pay much attention to it, anyway, I didn't see it." ”
Chen Yumen asked: "His fourth uncle, the fish bone stuck in his throat was taken out?" ”
The hunchbacked man nodded and said, "Well, take it, it's all right!" ”
Jiang Daokun's eyes were vicious, and he found that when the hunchbacked man spoke, his eyes flickered a little, as if he was hiding something. He thought that these people were all villagers, and it was normal for them to cover up and conceal each other, so he didn't expose them at the moment.
Chen Yumen collected the investigation report and explained to Jiang Daokun that it would be posted all over the village early tomorrow morning.
In the blink of an eye, the table was full of all kinds of dishes: freshly made slag trouble, tempeh fish, spicy chicken nuggets, stir-fried minced meat with sour cowpeas, red oil mutton soup pot, garlic cabbage, vegetarian melon and bean soup, farmer's three treasures, shredded eggplant, braised hooves. It's all authentic Umeng flavor.
Jiang Daokun said: "Lao Chen, you are too polite!" ”
The dishes were all on the table, and Chen Yumen and Jiang Daokun invited Xie Daxi to sit down.
Xie Daxi couldn't refuse, so he had to squeeze into the crowd. He swept his eyes and found that Wang Ziheng and Zhang Shengli were two unfamiliar faces, so he asked Jiang Daokun: "Director Jiang, is this a newcomer in the institute?" ”
Jiang Daokun explained: "This is Huang Sanmei's homeroom teacher, Teacher Zhang Shengli; That little brother is a college classmate of Mr. Zhang. ”
Xie Daxi's gaze stayed on Zhang Shengli for a few seconds and hurriedly moved away.
