Chapter 304: The End of the Gambler
But in this way, we broke the deadlock and finally found a chance for my grandmother to interject. :7777772e766f6474772e636f6d
But my grandma also found out that if you want to ask questions, you can't ask them directly, and no one will pay attention to you if you ask directly, so you have to ask around little by little.
Grandma turned her head to look around and asked the old man just now: "Big brother, their family is a white thing, why are there only six of you, why don't you have any linen and filial piety?"
This old man has a scab on his chin, and there are a few long white hairs on it, and this filth is the most conspicuous on his whole face.
The old man said, "Alas, who dares to come, it's too late to hide." ”
"What's going on?" asked Grandma again.
The old man looked at his grandmother and asked, "Don't you know what's going on, what are you two doing here today?"
Grandma said, "As I said just now, we came here to let their family salvage the child's body. ”
The old man waved the chopsticks in his hand when he listened: "Come on, big sister, there are more people in their family who have changed their methods, and your method is quite fresh." ”
Grandma frowned, the old man said this. After a pause, the grandmother followed the old man's words and asked, "Are there many people who come to his family?"
"Much."
Before the old man could speak, an old man next to him interjected. I glanced at him, and the old man had a very white face, and there were a few yellow-brown age spots on his face, and he looked white and yellow.
The white-faced old man said: "I heard that Hai Niu died two days ago, and there were several waves a day, and after taking away the things he could take away from his house, he went to his relatives and friends, and his relatives and friends were also moldy enough, not to mention that he cheated Hai Niu out of money, and he also blocked the door for those who asked for debts, and now they are hiding one by one." ”
"Asking for debts" Grandma finally figured it out at this time, no wonder these old men were dodgy, and when Zhou Zhenhai's relatives and friends were mentioned, they didn't speak, and their feelings regarded us as debts.
The white-faced old man continued: "We have nothing to do with the sea girl, we have nothing to do at home, the village cadres will find us to dig a pit to carry the coffin, one person will give three yuan, cook by yourself at noon, take care of the vegetables and meat, and after eating, we will carry the coffin of the sea girl to the cemetery and bury it, and we will have nothing to do." In addition to you today, there have been two waves of people, and there is a wave of people who are still holding on to us, saying that we are relatives with Hainiu, not relatives, how can we carry the coffin for him, you say that we are not wronged, and finally we all asked them to go to the village chief. ”
Hearing the white-faced old man say this, grandma's heart became clearer, and after thinking about it, she asked: "Why are so many people looking for Zhou Zhenhai, what did he do?"
As soon as Grandma said this, the other old men who were shouting at each other also stopped, and one of the old men asked my grandmother: "Do you really not know anything?"
Grandma smiled at the old man and said, "This Zhou Zhenhai actually has nothing to do with me, and I didn't come to ask for debts, I really don't know anything about Zhou Zhenhai and what he has done in the past." ”
Several old men listened and looked at each other suspiciously, and the bald old man from before asked, "Have you really found his son?"
Grandma's face darkened, nodded and said: "Yes, I found it, but I have been dead for more than a year, and now the body is still soaking in the water. ”
When several old men heard this, they immediately turned their suspicious faces into looking at each other, and they all turned their faces to look at the old man with a cigarette bag.
The old man of the cigarette pouch seemed to have a little knowledge, and he unhurriedly put tobacco in the cigarette pouch pot, and took two puffs and asked my grandmother, "What are you doing?"
When grandma heard this, she looked at the old man with a cigarette pouch and greeted him for a while, and replied very calmly: "Like you, we should go together." ”
As soon as Grandma's words came out, the old man with the cigarette bag was not calm, his eyes widened, and he quickly asked in his mouth: "The water in the mountains and the heavens and the earth."
Grandma smiled and replied, "In the water." ”
The old man with the cigarette pouch hurriedly stood up, extinguished the sparks in the cigarette pot with his hand, and said to my grandmother with a solemn face: "Sister, let's talk elsewhere." ”
Grandma nodded, and the old man with the cigarette pouch left the table and walked out the door, and grandma followed. I wanted to go along, too, but as soon as I got up from the high stool, my grandmother turned to me and said, "Just wait here." ”
I sat back on my ass again.
What does the old man of the cigarette bag mean by what he said, what is in the mountains, in the water, in the sky, and on the earth?
On the mountain, it generally refers to some ordinary people, who suddenly have mana overnight, and can show people incense and things, this kind of person is generally favored by the fairy family, calling themselves "grandma", "fairy master", "aunt" and so on on a certain mountain, and those "Huang Xiangu" and "Mrs. Hu" in the northeast are collectively referred to as "on the mountain".
In the water, it generally refers to the ancestral inheritance, through their own acquired cultivation of the Tao, generally this kind of people are respected, because their Taoism is long, and will not eat their bodies, the mountain is different, similar to playing with fire, if you don't get angry, the whole family is unlucky. Our house belongs to the water.
Heavenly, generally refers to fortune tellers.
On the ground, it generally refers to Mr. Feng Shui.
In fact, each profession has its own strict limitations, fortune tellers are fortune tellers, those who look at feng shui are those who look at feng shui, and those who drive away evil spirits are those who drive away evil spirits. God is very fair, you have to lack one to learn one, if someone can learn all of them, it is strange not to die.
Why did grandma say that the old man with the cigarette bag was walking with us at this time, because the old man with the cigarette bag had a small bell tied with a red cloth behind the pot of the tobacco bag, which was the sign of Mr. Feng Shui, and some were tied to the wrist. When showing people Feng Shui, sometimes you have to shake the bell. Grandma said that the bell is for the "goblin" to hear, where the landscape has spirituality, and giving people a little hole, it will destroy the aura of that piece, and the bell is to inform in advance.
After a long pause, grandma followed the old man with the cigarette pouch and came back. At this time, the other old men were already full of wine and food, and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and I also ate with a round belly, and I couldn't walk anymore. Don't say that I'm not promising, who called our family poor, we can't eat a few taels of meat during the New Year, and of course we have to eat it to death if we finally catch it.
Grandma came over and grabbed me, thanked a few old men, thanked them for taking care of our meal, and several old men were also very polite to my grandma at this time, saying that a meal is nothing, no thanks.
Then, my grandmother nodded at the old man with the cigarette bag, and the old man also nodded respectfully at my grandmother, and did not speak again.
Grandma pulled me and walked out the door, but at this time I walked with a big belly and swayed, and my grandmother looked at me and asked what was the matter, and I replied, "I have eaten too much"
After leaving Zhou's house, my grandmother pulled me to walk westward, and in my opinion, it was the way back along the same road, so I asked my grandmother: "Grandma, where are we going now?"
Grandma replied simply: "Go home." ”
I asked again, "Let's not find someone to dig up the body?"
Grandma said, "When you go home, ask your dad to go into the water with your Uncle Sihe." "Maybe because I was young at the time, my grandmother didn't say much to me, and later I only knew that this Zhou Zhenhai was hanged, and he owed a lot of money to many people before he died. The old man with the cigarette pouch told me these things.
Zhou Zhenhai, who was in his thirties when he died, dropped out of school before graduating from primary school, fought and stole chickens and dogs, his parents, like other villagers, were honest farmers who worked in the fields to eat food, and they couldn't control him, and he stayed at the police station longer than when he stayed at home.
A few years later, Zhou Zhenhai went to Beijing with someone, and stayed in Beijing for more than ten years, and later, Zhou Zhenhai drove a sedan back with a beautiful scenery, at that time, tractors were rare objects in the village, not to mention cars, and I felt that it was only the big leaders in Beijing who sit.
Some people also said that the trunk of Zhou Zhenhai's sedan was full of bundles of ten yuan, think about how much money it should be, at that time, it was already great that we could have a 10,000 yuan household here, and his carriage was worth 100,000 yuan. Not only was he rich, but there was also a beautiful girl in the car, who looked to be ten years old, and the girl was leading a child who could just walk. I heard that this girl is a "citizen" in Beijing, a "citizen" in the capital Beijing, it is more than a grade higher than the "citizen" in our city.
Zhou Zhenhai drove a car and returned home with his wife and children, the status of their Zhou family in the village suddenly increased I don't know how many times.
However, where did he get all this money and what he has done in Beijing in the past few years, even Zhou Zhenhai's parents can't say clearly.
Later, Zhou Zhenhai opened a commissary at home, that is, the one that my grandmother and I saw at the entrance of his house that had closed down. The business was booming before, and the family also had money, so they had chicken, duck and fish. But this week Zhenhai is very strange, he always likes to drive out at night, sometimes he comes back late at night, sometimes he comes back in the morning.
A year later, Zhou Zhenhai took his son out, and when he came back, his son was gone, and his parents and his wife asked him where the child was. His wife, the beautiful woman from Beijing, left not long after, never looking back.
Half a year later, Zhou Zhenhai came to his house with a southerner, with a fat head and big ears, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and a beautiful female secretary by his side. Zhou Zhenhai gathered his relatives and friends together, saying that the southerner was a big boss and wanted to set up a joint venture with him to set up a factory near the village, but he didn't have enough money on hand to see if he could borrow some money.
The big boss is very stylish, and the female secretary still has documents and certificates in her purse, and the formalities are complete, and she looks very much like that.
These relatives and friends believed it and took out their family savings. Later, Zhou Zhenhai really circled a piece of land in the east of the village, a large piece of land, and it seemed that construction was about to start. However, Zhou Zhenhai found his relatives and friends at this time, and said, this little money is not enough to build a factory, let alone enter the equipment, to see if you can find acquaintances to borrow more, as long as it is borrowed money, you will be given an IOU, and after the factory is built in the future, one person from each family will enter the factory as a worker.
In the past, workers were a grade higher than migrant workers, and everyone was eager to be workers.
His relatives and friends began to help him go around to publicize, saying that he had built a joint venture factory with a big boss in the south, and he was short of money, so as long as he borrowed money, he would ask his family to come into the factory as workers in the future.
At that time, everyone was real, and Zhou Zhenhai's family was rich and prestigious, so many people took the initiative to come to Zhou Zhenhai for such publicity. No one can say how much money Zhou Zhenhai borrowed from beginning to end, and how many people he borrowed.
A few months later, the people who lent Zhou Zhenhai found that something was wrong, because there was no movement at all on the piece of land that was enclosed for Zhou Zhenhai, and some people came to Zhou Zhenhai to ask for money, and Zhou Zhenhai said that he was deceived by the big boss in the south, and the boss ran away with the money, and he had already reported the case.
When these people heard this, they all blew up, but there was no way, Zhou Zhenhai swore what he said, so he had to go home and wait.
Not long after, there were rumors in the village that Zhou Zhenhai did not build a joint venture with any big boss at all, and he gambled every day for the past two years, not only lost his family, but also sold his children as gambling books, and owed others a lot of gambling debts. Those creditors said that if he didn't repay the money, he would have to kill his whole family, and Zhou Zhenhai couldn't run away if he wanted to, so he could only deceive these villagers to lend him money.
As soon as this rumor spread, Zhou Zhenhai's house was lively, and people came to him every day to ask for money, and those who were encouraged by his relatives and friends to borrow money couldn't find him himself, so they asked his relatives and friends for it, anyway, those who had a relationship with him were all unlucky. In the end, someone sued him, and the court sentenced him to five years for fraud, and it stands to reason that the sentence of five years for fraud is a light sentence, why, because those who were deceived still expect him to pay back the money after he is released from prison.
Three years later, Zhou Zhenhai was released, and as soon as he heard that he had been released from prison and returned home, those people blocked the door for him again. At this time, his parents had already died, which was considered to be angry for him.
After Zhou Zhenhai sent those creditors away, he made a bottle of wine on credit at the village commissary that night, and hanged himself after drinking.
