Chapter 56: The Little Supermarket 11
There are about 100 households in the whole Xiaoya Village, and there are dense villages in the east, and a small stream runs along the east side of the village, like the boundary of the village, and there are some terraced fields on the east side of the stream, and some rice is growing vigorously, and on the top of the terraced fields are some high and low slopes, and there are some sheep grazing freely on the hillside.

The west side of the village is a cliff, this cliff is several kilometers long, about 30 meters high, almost ten stories of the appearance, I looked at this cliff from afar, and then looked at the village, thinking that this village seems to be the fault formed by this cliff, the village should be level with the cliff countless years ago, suddenly one day, the village is located in this piece of land fractured and collapsed, the stars shifted, and the village was formed over time.
The village chief had already taken the initiative to be our guide at this time, and he kept thanking Brother Murong: "I have never drunk such high-end wine, why are you so polite, come to our village, find me, and everything can be done." ”
When the wine is drunk, things will be easy to do, this is my understanding of the village chief, although this logic is a bit simple, not for a girl in a big city like me can understand, but here, it is this logic that works best.
Brother Murong took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes and handed it to the village chief: "Village chief, I don't usually smoke, you see the villagers helping me share the cigarettes." ”
The village chief half-pushed and half-collected the cigarette on the spot: "This is really too polite, we in the township are really not used to smoking this high-end cigarette." ”
I asked, "How old is this village?" ”
The village chief said: "This village has a long history, and there has never been a war in this poor place with mountains and bad waters, so it has always existed like this, and I don't know how many years it has been." ”
I started to move on to the formal topic: "How is Liqiang's relationship with his wife?" ”
The village chief was very clever, and as soon as he heard this sensitive topic, he became cautious in his words: "Liqiang is generally good, but it is not good in that regard." ”
I asked, "Do you mean that there are women out there?" ”
The village chief said: "That's what I said, last year's New Year, Liqiang also brought a woman back, speaking of which, his wife also died, and it is not strange to bring a woman back, but the woman he brought with him is flamboyant, don't say that we who are not knowledgeable don't know, there is always something on TV, it is the kind of woman who is not serious." ”
I thought to myself, there is really such a woman behind Liqiang, this woman is likely to be Li Jing mentioned by Amei, Li Jing is missing now, but Liu Da must have a way to find her.
We walked all the way north along the creek, and came to a big bend in the creek, and the village chief took us to the west, that is, to the bottom of the cliff, and the village chief said: "We are now going to the lowest place from the top of the cliff, where there was originally a wooden ladder, but this spring when the rain was abundant, the wooden ladder was washed away, and I have found a few fellows to build a ladder over there, just to see how the ladder is going." ”
I crossed a ridge and caught up with the village chief in front: "Village chief, why did Na Liqiang bury his wife's grave on the top of the cliff?" ”
The village chief said: "This is also the unwritten rule of our village, if a person under the age of 60 dies, he cannot be buried under the cliff, but can only be buried on the top of the cliff, because the death of less than 60 years old is a short-lived ghost, and it is bad luck for the village, so in order to avoid evil spirits, these people can only be buried on the top of the cliff, so as not to impact the village." ”
I said, "It makes a difference if this man dies." ”
The village said: "In the eyes of the elderly, this difference is big, not just can make their own decisions, there seem to be only a hundred families in the village, but they are still divided according to their surnames, each surname has its own elders, the elders have the rules that have been passed down from generation to generation, and there are many rules, but now most of them have been broken by young people." ”
As I spoke, I arrived at the bottom of the cliff that the village chief said, several villagers were cutting wood to build ladders, I looked up, here is ten meters away from the top of the cliff, but the cliff here is just divided into three sections by the natural protruding cliff stones, each section is about three or four meters, the villagers have set up two ladders, and are struggling to make the third section of ladders.
Brother Murong climbed the first section of the ladder and tried the firmness, I saw that the ladder was quite strong, the villagers were willing to build this kind of ladder with real materials, and they would never engage in any tofu scum project, this fund was provided by us, but this ladder should be kept until the village in the future.
I also followed Brother Murong to climb the first section of the ladder, the protruding cliff stone is a relatively flat large stone, there is no problem with a few people standing on it, I looked at the second section of the ladder again, there is also a similar stone on it, I put my hands on the ladder, and began to climb up again, when I climbed halfway, I glanced down, I was really scared, I felt like a kite tied to this cliff, fluttering in the wind, and would be blown off the bottom of the cliff at any time.
After I climbed the second ladder, I looked up on the second stone platform, and if the third ladder was now in place, I could go straight to the top of the cliff.
The villagers at the bottom of the cliff were sawing wood with saws, and the sound of sawing back and forth came up, which felt very special, and I seemed to hear the sound of Liqiang's wife's coffin not sawing open.
Brother Murong and Ling Fei both came up, and Brother Murong said, "Tomorrow morning at five o'clock, the sky is just dawning, such a dangerous ladder, can you two girls?" ”
Ling Fei and I said in unison: "We are young heroes, and we can do it if we are heroes." ”
After saying that, the three of us stood on the cliff and laughed, and the two masters who were pulling the saws stopped and looked up at us in surprise.
I looked at the top of the cliff again, and then at the bottom of the cliff, it was hard to imagine how they managed to get the heavy coffin to the top of the cliff.
Dinner was arranged at the village chief's house, Pei En, the police from the police station, and Brother Murong accompanied the village chief to take a sip of wine, the village chief's wine is home-brewed Baigu roast, and the purity of the alcohol is said to be as high as 60 degrees, it can be directly used as disinfectant alcohol, and Brother Murong squirted out after two sips, only shouting "spicy".
Ling Fei and I only cared about eating wild meat, the village chief's wife really cooked two dishes, although the appearance of the dishes was not good-looking, but each dish was so pure and delicious.
After being full of wine and food, the village chief was also very happy and sang local folk songs, Ling Fei said that this time when he went back, he must write these things into a memoir, this small village is too long to see.
The village chief drank the wine and sang the song, and finally began to say: "This, I don't want to care about the strong thing, you are here, if it is found out that the death of his wife Fanghua is related to him, we will not interfere." ”
No matter how attentive the village chief entertained us, I have no way of knowing whether he has anything hidden in his heart, but I know very well in my heart that tomorrow's affairs must not be messed up.
