Chapter 17: Constant Involvement

Huang Mao knew the result when he saw my expression, and said, "Didn't your grandfather say anything to you?" Mahogany is a very valuable thing in the ritual, and it is unlikely that it will be planted by mistake. ”

I shook my head, I had never heard of it, when I was a child, my family was poor, and it was a luxury to be able to eat a little fruit, so my grandfather planted some fruit trees, all kinds of peach trees, pear trees, plum trees.

"Tell me about your grandfather, is he educated?" Seeing this, Huang Mao touched his chin and asked.

I nodded and said yes, the ancestors of the Meng family were not peasants, but intellectuals of the landlord class, and my great-grandfather was very educated. Later, the Japanese came in, and he returned to his hometown to become a teacher, and not long after my grandfather was born.

It is said that the Japanese came to my great-grandfather and asked him to be the president of the maintenance association, but my great-grandfather did not agree, and he was almost not shot.

Later, the local tyrants were beaten to divide the land, and the Meng family's fields and houses were confiscated, and they declined. Although grandpa is educated, his ingredients are not good and he is not welcomed, and he has no food to eat due to natural and man-made disasters, so he fled.

This escape is a full twenty years!

No one knows where my grandfather has gone or what he has done in those twenty years, and I have asked curiously several times, and he always kindly touched my head and smiled without saying a word.

After my grandfather returned to his hometown, the society began to put things in order, and he worked as a teacher in the township for many years.

What he also kept silent about those twenty years was that he never mentioned my parents and grandmother. I don't have any impression of them, and no one in the village has ever seen them, not even the third uncle, because I was brought back directly from outside by my grandfather.

After listening to me, Huang Mao crossed his arms and muttered for a while, and said, "I'm afraid you don't know enough about your grandfather." ”

"How?" I asked hurriedly.

"Although I don't know much about feng shui, the location of those peach trees is in line with the yin and yang gossip, and your grandfather may know how to do it." Huang Mao Road.

I froze, "This ...... How sure are you? "This is a big deal, if Huang Mao's inference is correct, then my understanding of my grandfather is probably far behind.

Even the Feng family's going to dig my grandfather's grave today is related to this incident, otherwise there is no way to explain the Feng family's behavior.

"Tsk, I'll find someone to ask and leave for a few days." Huang Mao said to me, his face had lost his usual hanging, and he had become a little serious.

"That'...... What about the Feng family? "I'm a little reluctant to let him go, now that strange things are happening, and the Feng family is ready to move, I can't cope with it without guidance.

Huang Mao said: "There are obviously people behind the Feng family who are remotely controlled, don't conflict with them for the time being, avoid it if you can." ”

"And when are you coming back?" I asked.

"Three or two days at the least, five or six days at the most." Huang Mao said, then looked at Cao Nan again, and said, "You send me to the county seat, leave now." ”

Cao Nan nodded in agreement, and then left with him, I took Huang Mao a mobile phone and some money to send them to the car.

When I got back to the store, I was nervous. The Feng family's digging of the grave immediately dragged my grandfather in, and the time span was not half a month, but decades.

Feng Qiangtou said that my grandfather was not a good person, and those things in the township were recruited by him, and he also damaged the feng shui in the township.

I don't know how much credibility he has in his words, but they clearly mean something; Coupled with Huang Mao's inference, grandpa seems to have a side that he doesn't know.

Then there is Chen Laogen, his grandfather's funeral is the law he did, and the longevity point is also ordered by him, if he knows that the land is the corpse of the murderer, then he doesn't mean to harm my grandfather, and me?

Last time there was the Li family on the mountain, he left me alone to face the danger twice, and almost killed himself.

"How so?" I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine, I didn't dare to think about it anymore, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, could it be that I believed the wrong person in the first place?

Is it possible that there was a misunderstanding?

People who practice Dharma practice pay the most attention to cause and effect, if Chen Laogen harms people like this, he will be punished by God, and if he doesn't get it right, he will leave a disaster to his descendants, doesn't he have a grandson who is seven or eight years old?

I'm not sure, things have to wait for Huang Mao's news to make a judgment.

……

In the evening, I washed up and went to bed early.

In the middle of the night, the red-clothed doll came, and pounced on me like last time to inhale yang qi, and the "laxative" given by Huang Mao didn't work, and the reaction was getting bigger and bigger.

When I woke up the next day, I was shocked to find that the bruises from the kicks had scattered and left few traces.

Especially on his face, he was beaten by Feng Daniu's two fists, and they were all blue, but he couldn't see anything in the morning, and his complexion was not bad. I instinctively thought of the red doll, and my heart said is it because of her?

I don't understand, I don't bother to guess, anyway, there are more and more strange things, not much of this one.

……

I did a few orders of business in the morning, and at more than ten o'clock a person walked in at the door, which surprised me slightly, it turned out to be the director of the police station surnamed Wang, with a flat head and a square face, wearing a straight police uniform, and looking upright.

"Director Wang, are you on official business or buying something?" I hurriedly stood up, instinctively muttering.

"I'm having a problem with my phone's buttons, and I'd like you to take a look." Director Wang looked me up and down, then took out a mobile phone from his pocket and handed it over.

I took it and took a look, it is Nokia's oldest style, the weight is heavy, the screen is small, and it is still black and white, and it has long been eliminated on the market, known as a brick machine. The phone has been used for many years, and the numbers and letters on the keys have worn out.

I tried it, and sure enough, I found that a few buttons didn't work, so I said: "Wangsuo, your mobile phone has long been out of the market, I'll help you take it apart and take a look, but there is no guarantee that it can be repaired, because the supporting electronic devices have long been unavailable." ”

Director Wang nodded, "Try to fix it, I'm used to it, and other mobile phones are awkward." ”

I asked him to sit down, picked up a screwdriver, and opened the phone. I felt that Director Wang's gaze had been looking at me, up and down, back and forth, even if I didn't look up, I could feel his gaze, very sharp, like a knife.

I couldn't help but mutter, is this his professional habit, or is the drunkard not drinking?

Huang Mao said that something was wrong with the police station before, and the time he was dispatched was just around the time of Feng Deliang's "suicide", which was a bit too coincidental.

After thinking about it, I pretended to raise my head inadvertently and looked at Director Wang, looking at each other, only to see him frowning slightly, his eyes like torches, as if he was looking at something he couldn't understand.

Seeing me suddenly raise his head, his gaze instantly softened, and he quickly disguised it, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”

"Oh, the root of the bond has lost its elasticity, I'll help you improve something, it will take some time, do you want to smoke a cigarette?" I hurriedly covered it up, took out a cigarette and handed it over.

"Thanks, not in this habit." Director Wang waved his hand and declined.

I smiled, put the cigarette back and continued to repair, about a quarter of an hour to repair, Director Wang turned on the machine and tried it very satisfied, and said, "You can see how much the repair fee is appropriate?" ”

"No, it doesn't cost any materials, it's just a matter of effort." I hurriedly shook my head, he is an official and I am a citizen, this kind of money cannot be collected casually, even if it is out of politeness, it must be pretentious, in case it offends people and they will be in trouble.

"Then how can I do it, I should give money after repairing it, otherwise the villagers will think that I am using my power for personal gain." Director Wang smiled, took out a fifty from his wallet as he spoke, put it on the counter and turned around and left.

"Hey, it's a lot!" I hurriedly went looking for money, I usually only charge five yuan for fixing this little problem, and he actually gave fifty.

But by the time I got the change and ran out, he was already far away on his motorcycle.

Looking at his distant back, I instinctively touched the rouge mark on my neck that the red-clothed doll had branded on my neck, and he had been staring at it for a long time, as if he could see through my collar.

I had a strong instinct that he wasn't here to fix my phone. More and more people are involved in the strange things that happened in the township.

……

As if to test my hunch, something happened again in the afternoon.

Suddenly, someone ran and went in one direction, and someone shouted something crazy or something.

My nerves were already highly sensitive, so I immediately threw down my work and ran out, only to see a large circle of people around the street corner in the distance.

I immediately rushed in to look, and found a dirty, smelly beggar lying on the ground, shouting in terror and repeating nervously: "I see it, it's back...... I saw it, it's back......"

The whole person was sweating profusely, his face was distorted with horror, and his pupils shrank to the tip of his chopsticks, as if he had fallen into a nightmare.

My heart is tight, this person recognizes, it is the beggar in the township, he has a little mental problem, likes to talk to himself, usually lives by eating hundreds of meals, often begging for some leftovers in the polder, if someone has a happy event at home, he can also ask for some wine to drink.

Then again, although he is a beggar, he is not a lonely widow that no one wants; On the contrary, he has a family and a mouth, and his children and grandchildren cannot be said to be unfilial, and the biggest reason is that he has an eccentric temper.

The children and grandchildren did not eat the clean food they were given, they did not wear new clothes, they had to go out to beg for other people's leftovers, wear the tattered clothes that others had discarded, and they would not return home, so they would nest in an abandoned earthen kiln next to the polder.

What he did was incomprehensible!

His family didn't know how many times he persuaded him, but it didn't work at all, and they slowly followed him. I just went to see if he was sick every once in a while, and when he was sick, he was forcibly dragged to the health center to see a doctor.

He is usually quite quiet, likes to talk to himself in a low voice, and has almost no sense of existence, but today he suddenly yelled, which is why he attracted so many onlookers.

My hairs stood on end, and his frightened expression reminded me of a person, Feng Deliang!

Feng Deliang's expression when he "committed suicide" was like this, his face was distorted with horror, and his pupils were extremely constricted, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
