Chapter 5: Xu Jiaojiao's abnormality
The man's fingernails are still burnt.
No matter how stupid I am, I know who it is, Feng Deliang!
He wasn't incinerated, he was cheated out, and most importantly, he came to me last night.
I can even make up for the image of him standing in my doorway, his charred ashes falling down, it's so terrifying!
He was the one who caused the dog barking last night. I just didn't know why, he only stopped at the door for a moment and left.
But even that was enough to make my heart flutter.
I instinctively picked up my mobile phone to call Chen Laogen, but the phone still couldn't be connected.
In my heart, these things are getting weirder and weirder, and more and more evil.
At this moment, a somewhat arrogant female voice suddenly came from the door: "Here, I will inform you of something." ”
I looked up and saw that it was the person I was talking to, Xu Jiaojiao.
When I saw her, I didn't feel any joy, but was even more irritable, especially now that she was smoky, with her smoky makeup, short skirt, and camisole shirt, she was simply revealing in the countryside.
When the matchmaker first introduced, I didn't know if she was too good at pretending, or if she looked away, I felt that she was still good, whether it was her temper or image, although she was not very good at housework, but her attitude was quite correct.
I never thought that as soon as the engagement was completed, the original form was revealed, lazy to do, domineering not to say, and dressed up every day to show off the flowers and branches, recently there are some rumors about her in the township, and I don't know whether it's true or not.
She had been out of town all the year round, and she couldn't find out about her, otherwise she would not have been engaged to her. And it's too late now, the dowry has already been given when I get engaged, otherwise I would have regretted the marriage a long time ago.
The countryside is not more developed than the city, and it is absolutely impossible to live with a pair of hands, and it is absolutely not okay to be lazy and lazy.
"Here we are." I answered, not salty or light.
Xu Jiaojiao glanced at me, sat down in front of the counter by herself, cocked Erlang's legs, and pulled the obviously freshly dyed nails on her hands, and said: "My mother said that the newly married daughter of the old Liang family in the east of the town has a dowry of 200,000 yuan, and my dowry must not be less than others, so you have to make up for the difference of 50,000 yuan quickly." ”
I almost blew up when I heard it.
Some time ago, her mother took nearly 30,000 yuan from me for various reasons, and I endured it, but I didn't expect this time to be even more excessive, and I directly asked for 50,000; This amount of money is not a small amount in the countryside, and now it is not as good as later, and the housing prices in the county are only in the early 2000s.
It's blackmail!
Although it is said that after getting married, it is a family, but there is no such method, everything has to have a degree, and the set dowry is said to change the hexagram, what kind of character?
"No money."
I was already extremely depressed and uneasy, so I went straight back. I can't say anything I can agree to, and if I want to open this opening, there will be a second time if there is a first time.
Xu Jiaojiao didn't seem to expect my attitude to be so resolute, her face changed, and she immediately threatened: "I don't think you want to get married like this, right?" ”
"How do you love it?" I'm angry, it's a big deal not to get married, such a character, I'm afraid I have to leave if I get married.
"Okay, don't come to me on your wedding day!" When Xu Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately slammed the door and left in a huff.
"I beg you, uncle!" I angrily crumpled up a ball of paper and threw it to the corner of the door.
I didn't have a good time this morning, and I regretted it faintly, I should have taken care of it, if the marriage is really yellow, the loss will be great, and with the character of Xu Jiaojiao's family, it is impossible to take back the dowry given out.
150,000 dowry, you can buy a small two-bedroom house in the county.
But regret is useless, and I can't pull my face to say good things, let's take one step at a time; I am now riddled with treachery, and I don't have the energy to be a grandson.
At this time, my mobile phone suddenly vibrate, and when I looked at the number, it turned out to be Xu Jiaojiao calling.
This makes me wonder if she went out and regretted it, or did she want to continue to threaten me?
Pressing the answer button, Xu Jiaojiao asked with a slight mockery: "I heard from others, you received a coffin two days ago?" ”
"It's just a package." I instinctively denied it, and it wasn't a lie, and it was better to say that the coffin was a box.
"Hehe......" Xu Jiaojiao replied lightly and hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, I was full of confusion, what did she mean by this? Does she know about the existence of the Doll in Red?
But isn't it, only me, Cao Nan and Chen Laogen know about this matter at present, where did she know about it?
Wait a minute...... There is another person who knows, to be exact, a dead man, Feng Deliang.
Feng Deliang sent me a piece, and the tracking number was almost certain that he smeared it, so he is very likely to know about the red-clothed doll.
But then I thought about it, could it be that I was too sensitive?
Xu Jiaojiao just said casually, there is no need to think too much.
Shaking my head, I expelled Xu Jiaojiao from my mind and returned my attention to Feng Deliang's corpse again.
This matter still needs to be confirmed, and the best way to confirm it is to go to Feng Deliang's house.
Just thinking of this stall, Cao Nan came in from outside, "Leizi, did you have an accident last night?" ”
I shook my head and told Cao Nan about the scorched ash and half-burnt nails found at the door.
Cao Nan's face changed slightly, "Then what should I do now, it's a full moon tonight, will he come back to you?" ”
My heart was beating violently when I heard it, and today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and I forgot the full moon.
The full moon is the time when the yin qi is at its peak, and the ghosts and evil spirits will become extremely powerful on the night of the full moon, Feng Deliang didn't bother me last night, are you waiting for tonight?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt a chill down my spine, so I immediately stood up and said, "No, I have to go to Feng Deliang's house to have a look, and if he goes back, then burn it again!" ”
Now that you've cheated the corpse and come looking for me, there's no room for maneuver.
Cao Nan nodded slowly and said, "Okay, just do it." ”
Just as we were about to leave, another man came to the door, and when I looked up, I stood up with a bang.
Chen Laogen!!
He couldn't get through the phone for the past two days, but now he actually came to the door.
"Uncle Chen!" I hurriedly shouted.
Chen Laogen's face was brown and yellow, his brows were furrowed into a Sichuan character, and his face was furrowed and ravine, and he had only been seen for two days, and he seemed to be a lot haggard.
"Why can't you get in touch for the past two days?" I asked, as I walked to the door of the store and pulled the roller shutter halfway down to prevent any buyers from coming in.
"I lost my phone, don't call that number again." Chen Laogen said.
I said yes, and then Chen Laogen asked me about what had happened in the past two days, and I told me 1510, especially about the burnt nails at the door.
Chen Laogen's face became very solemn after hearing this, and said, "Pick up that nail cover, let's go to Feng's house?" ”
"Go...... Going to Feng's house? My scalp tingled and I said, "That's too dangerous, isn't it?" ”
I'm not worried about myself, but about Chen Laogen, because he called the Feng family before and asked them to burn Feng Deliang's body, but the other party didn't agree.
I set the fire last night, and the Feng family must have been the first to suspect Chen Laogen. At this time, what is the difference between sending it to the door and looking for death?
"Feng Deliang's body must be burned, otherwise the whole township will be in trouble." Chen Laogen's face was resolute.
"Will it bite if you cheat the corpse?" Cao Nan asked in shock.
This also makes me quite concerned, science fiction zombie movies have become popular these years, and zombie movies have come out in an endless stream, although I don't understand it, but it is inevitable that associations will occur.
Chen Laogen's face was full of sadness, and he said: "It's more serious than this, don't ask so much, put away the nail cover, and let's do a comparison." ”
Seeing that he was so persistent, I had to grab a mineral water bottle and run out of the store, put up the nail caps that I had thrown across the street before, and put them in my pocket.
After that, Chen Laogen and I went to Feng's house, and Cao Nan stayed behind, and if we didn't come back before the sun set in the west in the afternoon, we would immediately call the police and let the police rescue us.
The Feng family is too strong, God knows how to deal with us.
Sure enough, as soon as we arrived at Feng's house, we were immediately surrounded by the Feng family's three layers inside and outside, and they were holding sticks and bricks and glaring at us. And the scene is full of Feng family members, and no one has a foreign surname, in case of death, it is really called death without proof.
But strangely, they didn't do it right away.
I instinctively searched for Feng Deliang's wife, and soon found her, she was standing outside the crowd, her face was full of sadness, and she was faintly pale, looking at Chen Laogen as if she had something to say, but she didn't dare to open her mouth.
"Chen Laogen, you still dare to come to my Feng family!" At this time, a thin old man walked in from the crowd, his eyes flashing with cold light, followed by several sturdy Feng family descendants.
My heart jumped, this old man's name is Feng Jingjiang, nicknamed "Feng Qiantou", is one of the few old people who have survived in the Feng family's "Jing" generation, the generation is very high, but it is difficult to entangle, the temper is notoriously strong in the whole township, stinky and hard, sometimes it is obviously his fault, but he doesn't admit it, and it is very difficult to speak.
A few years ago, the township was preparing to expand the road out of the township, and there was a section that happened to pass near Fengjiawan, and it was necessary to fill in the edge of a few acres of cold water fields.
Originally, the matter had been finalized, the landlord signed and agreed, and the subsidy was in place.
Unexpectedly, Feng Qiangtou, who had nothing to do with it, jumped out with the Feng family, saying that there was a spring under the cold water field, and it was filled with feng shui that would damage Fengjiawan.
The village and the township didn't make sense of the frayed mouth, and wanted to forcibly fill it, so Feng Qiangtou led people to lie under the forklift, saying that if he wanted to fill it, he would roll over him.
As a result, things were stiff for two or three years, resulting in the fact that the section of Fengjiawan Road is still a sheep's intestine road, and it is difficult to flash a car.
The gas station is even more socked, the township car refueling still has to run to the forest farm to use the small oil depot to add, the mountain road back and forth is not easy, a trip down the small half tank of oil burned out.
As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, but that incident offended the people of the whole township, but Feng Qiang didn't have any consciousness at all, and he preached everywhere that he had kept the feng shui of the Feng family and was worthy of the ancestors of the Feng family.
Selfish and unreasonable!
