CHAPTER XVIII

At noon, Liu Wanquan came back, with a smile on his face, very happy, carrying a few disposable lunch boxes in his hands, which he bought in a small restaurant in Longgang Town. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard him calling me, I went out and took the fish basket in his hand, took out the fish and raised it in the water tank, the price of live fish in this river is much higher than the price of ordinary fish.

"Tianwa, what's wrong, my face is not very good." Liu Wanquan said, and saw Xiaohai again, "What's wrong with this sea baby, how can I ...... it?"

I immediately withdrew my gaze, "No, it's nothing, I said while helping him get something: "Brother Wanquan, I want to take Xiaohai to the cemetery to see my father in the afternoon." “

Liu Wanquan's face sank and nodded, "It stands to reason that I should also go and see, it's just the rules of our village, you only know." “

I saw that he was embarrassed, and immediately intercepted half of his unfinished sentence, "I understand, brother, let's eat first." “

When eating, Xiaohai always looked out of the window with a heavy heart, I asked him what do you see, he was stunned for a moment, and then frowned as if he was thinking, I can't see a man like this, just say anything, pretend to be deep.

"Speak, if you can't understand Chinese, use English, I understand." I said this deliberately, it seemed that the brothers were angry, but in fact, I saw Xiaohai's concerns, because I also felt something strange outside the window, it seemed that there was a pair of eyes looking at us, but ......

As soon as Xiao Hai wanted to speak, my phone rang, I pressed the answer button, and before the word "hey" stuck in my throat came out, I heard a middle-aged man's voice on the other side of the phone, "Liu Haitian, you hurry up and get back to me, no, immediately roll to the No. 2 pit, leave your post without permission, do you still want to do it." ”

This voice, I'm so familiar with it, Lao Kong, nicknamed Big Head, because he loves to eat fish heads, and his head is big, so he is called Fat Fish Head, of course, the younger generation of interns call him Uncle Fish Head or Fat Uncle.

"Shout what? What happened to Pit No. 2? "Although I feel uneasy in my heart, the No. 2 pit is a newly established cultural preservation project, and those tomb robbers are arrogant, and they don't dare to do anything in this kind of place, not to mention, this No. 2 pit is a Han tomb, and if anything touches it, it is a big crime, so I'm not worried about anything big over there."

Fat Yutou looked at me and asked him tepidly, and immediately changed his tone, "Director Liu, no kidding, I'm already on the Jing'an Expressway, and the plate driving skills are poor, I'll look at him a little, you hurry up." “

Xiaohai put down his chopsticks and looked at me, "Are you going to leave again?" “

I sighed, "You kid got what he wanted." “

Xiao Hai reacted for a second, as if he didn't understand, "You go too?" “

"I'll go, of course I'll go, okay, don't eat, hurry up and see our father, and then follow me to the second pit."

Although Liu Wanquan has been eating quietly, I noticed a trace of something strange in his eyes, but I hope I am thinking too much, what can such an honest person do?

I took out an envelope from my schoolbag and taught Liu Wanquan with my own hands, "Brother, you can keep these." “

Liu Wanquan is a very knowledgeable person, he knows that I have something urgent to leave immediately, but he is obviously curious, but he doesn't ask, seeing that I give him an envelope but wants and hesitates, "No, no, I'm okay here." “

He said very vaguely, what does it mean to be okay, what does it mean to be okay?

I shoved the envelope into his hand and whispered, "I lent it to you, your house is going to be repaired, and you don't want to have a home." “

I know that Liu Wanquan is very sensitive to the word "home", and he was stunned for a moment, but when he reacted, I had already gone out of the yard with Xiaohai, and I knew that he would not chase it out, because the money was just enough for him to fill some loopholes, as for what loopholes, I was unwilling to delve into it, in the years of the gang, I learned a sentence, saying that things that can be solved with money are never a big deal, not to mention, it is not a lot of money, I help him, and it can be regarded as accumulating some yin virtue for myself.

Because my mother said that people are not allowed to be buried without a head, but I couldn't watch my father's ashes just put under the sun back then, and when I was leaving, taking Xiaohai in swaddling clothes was already the limit of my ability, and it was impossible to carry an ash jar on my back.

So, at that time, I found a place in a field in the mountain behind our house, picked up some large stones, piled up a stone platform, three feet above the ground, and then made a simple burial chamber, and put this ash jar in it.

Now that I think about it, I really have a talent for this, this simple stone tomb has not only not collapsed for so many years, but is stronger, coupled with the binding and entanglement of some vines, from a distance, it really looks like an old stone chamber.

Xiao Hai and I knelt in front of the grave, our hearts were extremely heavy, if it weren't for that accident, our brothers would have married and had children by now, and lived a life of hard life, but everything changed on that day, and my life and Xiao Hai went in another direction.

"Dad, it's been twenty-five years, I took Xiaohai to see you, you see him, graduated from graduate school, he is also handsome, he has inherited the advantages of you and my mother, I don't want me, a rough man."

Xiao Hai was a little stunned, but the title of "Dad" had a very unfamiliar feeling to him.

"Dad, I'm Xiaohai, brother said, you left not long after I was born, I haven't seen you either, if you have time, you can drag me a dream, I ......"

I knelt next to him, helplessly holding my forehead, with a black line on my face, my heart was broken, and my heart said that this child was too well protected by me or too spoiled by my mother, but, forget it, in fact, I also think that my father can have time to drag a dream for me.

While tidying up the weeds on the stone grave, I said, "Dad, you hear me, if you have time, you can drag my dreams too, I want to ask you a few questions, but you can also ask me a few questions, be fair." “

Xiao Hai was stunned, looked at me stupidly, and while coming over to help me pull the weeds, he asked, "Brother, what's wrong with the No. 2 pit?" “

I stopped what I was doing and looked at him very cautiously, "The No. 2 pit is our big project this time, and it stands to reason that none of your interns should participate, but the city attaches great importance to this archaeological excavation, so ten newly graduated graduate students have been specially approved to participate, you are not in the establishment, but I still want you to have a long experience, and later you will say that it is my assistant with a work card, and when others ask, let him call me directly." ”

Xiao Hai nodded, and wanted to say something, but swallowed it back, he didn't want to say, so I won't ask.

Because the time is relatively tight, we quickly left the cemetery, before leaving, I vaguely heard a slight footsteps in the bamboo forest behind the stone chamber of the cemetery, I did not look back, did not stop, the heart said you just follow me, follow to the second pit, see what else you want to do?
