Chapter 67: An Eventful Autumn I
I haven't seen that painting anymore, I heard the older generation say that the woman in the painting is very beautiful, and some people say that she looks very similar to Leng Yiran, when you see her, you see the person on the painting, and finally I heard that the painting was taken away by Cha Wenbin.
In the alternating summer and autumn of 1984, a lot of things happened in Hongcun that year, first of all, a noisy burial.
Cha Wenbin found someone, some people said that the young man was not as ordinary as he looked, and the people from the county public security bureau sent back the body taken from Hongcun, and when he came, he didn't say a word, and left after sending it off.
I heard that Lao Wan had applied for retirement, and his work was taken over by his original deputy, and the murder case of the child in Hongcun had not been solved, and few people in the whole village went out at about six o'clock.
At that time, information was not developed, but rumors spread quickly, and some people said that there was a demon in Hongcun who specially plucked the hearts of children.
At first, it may have been the children scaring each other, but later, the adults said the same, and some said that the tree across from the temple was an evil spirit.
The police came many times, and there was little progress in Ma Wenjun's case, and Cha Wenbin went to the village headquarters about the third day after sending the telegram and received a phone call informing him that he was sent a car to deliver the things back and ask him to pick them up.
This kind of thing can't be fanfare, the people of Hongcun know that something has been taken out of the big tree, and they used to regard it as their own roots, and the tree is regarded as a symbol of Hongcun, and now many people hope that it can die sooner, if they know that the things that have been made out have been brought back, I am afraid that it will be noisy.
So Cha Wenbin decided to find a way to do it in the middle of the night, and the nails that were used to seal them were brought back, and the body was sealed with a zippered body bag at that time.
The fat man borrowed a tractor from the village department, and the three of them decided to do it that night.
At more than twelve o'clock, the fat man "suddenly"
drove the tractor and the group to the big temple, and they didn't take off the bag, Cha Wenbin planned to stuff it inside.
Halfway through the seal, a large number of fires suddenly appeared around, and the villagers surrounded them with torches and flashlights.
This time, Xia Lao Liu came forward to make it difficult, they were convinced that this thing was the disaster of Hongcun, they wanted to burn it, the scene at that time heard that it was out of control, it turned out that someone in the village leaked the news, and an accountant heard the content when Cha Wenbin answered the phone.
The accountant was a big mouth, and he strongly believed that the incident had something to do with the corpse, so when the tractor started, almost the whole village arrived.
"Burn it!"
Someone shouted, "Burn it!" ”
More people started shouting.
Cha Wenbin signaled them not to get excited, and raised his hand to comfort: "Everyone listen to me......"
"Burn it!"
The roar of the audience instantly overshadowed his voice, someone brought kerosene, and while there was chaos, a whole bucket was splashed on the big tree.
There were more than a dozen torches around, and some men still had cigarettes in their mouths, and at that time Cha Wenbin hugged the tree, and he made a very dangerous move: "Either you burn me together, or you will go back." ”
I heard that this was the case, Cha Wenbin kept the tree, but the price was that the corpse had to leave Hongcun, otherwise you wouldn't be able to watch it for a while, so the fat man transported the body back to Wulipu.
Wax is the most afraid of high temperatures, it melts as soon as it heats, in order to keep it, Cha Wenbin did not hesitate to put this body bag into the well in his yard, and since then no one has drunk the water from that well.
Later, I heard that the body bag was returned to Feng Qiyun, and it went to the place it didn't want to go, which is probably the biggest joke of fate, sleeping for a thousand years, after all, it can't compete with the changes of time.
At the turn of summer and autumn in 1984, another incident happened, Comrade Xia Qiushi got engaged.
At that time, there was no such term as engagement, and it was called "watching people's homes" in the local area
, there is a matchmaker, the woman's relatives form a team to visit the man's house, and the seven aunts and eight aunts act as judges.
Xia Lao Liu was very polite, Comrade Lao Xia also behaved well, the object was from another village, surnamed Xu, and his name was Huiying.
The second daughter of the Xu family is one year younger than Xia Qiushi, they met when they were young, one of Qiushi's aunts married next door to the Xu family, and Qiushi would also go over to play when he was not in school, and Huiying was his childhood playmate.
But these comrades, Comrade Lao Xia doesn't remember at all, Hui Ying is good-looking, and she will come to trouble, Xia Lao Liu is very satisfied, and Lao Xia is also quite satisfied.
Cha Wenbin also went that day as a friend, Lao Xia's house was very lively, and when it was time at the dinner table, Concubine Yu was responsible for serving the dishes.
Xia Lao Liu said to Cha Wenbin: "Nephew, I was originally selfish about Concubine Yu's child, but now Qiushi doesn't have that blessing." His daughter-in-law is going to marry into the door, and I'm afraid that there will be something wrong in the future, do you think your affairs have also taken the opportunity to do it? ”
Everyone knows about Cha Wenbin and Concubine Yu, and Cha Wenbin is not an irresponsible person, so he said to Xia Laoliu: "Uncle, the water that I said was spilled, and when I finish a little thing, I will come to the door to propose marriage, you are an elder, and you will help when the time comes." ”
Every time Concubine Lu heard Cha Wenbin's vague statement, she always secretly wiped her tears, she knew that Cha Wenbin had someone else in her heart, and she also knew that Cha Wenbin had to marry her, but her surname was life, and she always said that Cha Wenbin was her life.
On the day that Lao Xia's family got the door-to-door wine, the fat man drank too much, Cha Wenbin also drank it, and even Ye Qiu, who had always been silent, picked up his wine glass.
The men drank too much and always talked a lot, hugged each other and cried, saying that they were brothers for life, and that meal was eaten until ten o'clock at night.
The Xu family didn't understand whether this was door-to-door wine or brotherhood, in short, Lao Xia didn't understand when they left, and he later apologized for this.
At eleven o'clock, the fat man drove the walk-behind tractor to Wulipu, and the headlights of that thing were not a little stronger than a flashlight.
As he passed by the Great Hall, he finally got out of the car and vomited, snorting there.
After spraying, he fell asleep leaning on the tractor, Cha Wenbin shouted a few times and the fat man did not respond, and then he fell asleep in the car behind him.
At two o'clock, the dogs in the village were asleep, and Cha Wenbin felt that the floor was burning painfully, so he turned over in a daze and slammed his head on the rails of the tractor.
Drinking rice wine at night, this thing has a lot of stamina, Cha Wenbin's forehead was slammed and hurt badly, he reached out and rubbed a few times that the drowsiness and alcohol went down a lot, in a trance, he saw that there seemed to be a person standing on the bridge, rubbing his eyes vigorously, the guy was tall and thin, holding a thing in one hand with his back to himself.
This seems to be Ye Qiu, he swept around, and sure enough, Ye Qiu was not there, and glanced at the fat man on the ground, "Hulala"
Gotta fall asleep.
"Autumn ......"
He shouted at the man on the bridge, but Ye Qiu neither paid attention to it nor turned around.
Cha Wenbin felt that something was wrong, and when he walked from here last time, he stood in that position and stared at something, so he tiptoed out of the car and walked towards him.
As he walked, Cha Wenbin shouted his name, and the closer he got to it, the more Cha Wenbin felt furious in his heart.
That night was the beginning of the eighth lunar month, and there was only one crescent moon in the sky, and the silhouette of the person could be vaguely recognized.
So he made a fire break, and when he got closer, he just raised his hand and wanted to pat Ye Qiu's shoulder, but he stopped it again, he was a Taoist priest, and he couldn't do this, so he went around to Ye Qiu.
It doesn't matter this time, but Cha Wenbin's wine all came out of the pores, Ye Qiu stood there, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, his mouth was slightly open, his nostrils, ears, lips, and the corners of his eyes were all red.
There was still a pool of blood on the ground, and it was a little sticky when he touched it, and he stood there motionless like a sculpture.
The moment Cha Wenbin's hand touched his body, Ye Qiu's whole person fell forward and happened to get into his arms.
"Qiu'er! Qiu'er! ”
His screams were heart-rending and woke the fat man from his sleep.
Ye Qiu's life was very big, Cha Wenbin woke up and saw that he was still alive and sent to the hospital, and the doctor said that he had suffered internal injuries caused by violent concussion.
I don't know when it started, Ye Qiudu almost became a hospitalized professional, and he was always sent to the hospital, but this guy has a strong self-healing ability, and after two or three days, he was like no one, you must know that when he was sent, the doctor said to Cha Wenbin: "Prepare for the worst......
What's going on?
Ye Qiu said that the fat man and Cha Wenbin both slept on the ground that night, and he couldn't drive any tractors, so he simply squinted in the back bucket for a while.
It was estimated that it would only be about half an hour, and suddenly he heard a dog barking around and woke him up at once, Ye Qiu said, there are several types of dogs barking at night.
The kind that screamed was fine, and the kind that was the kind of wail with his tail between his legs, which belonged to him that day, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a figure at the door of the Great Hall.
It has only been a long time since the murder in the Great Hall, Ye Qiu turned over and got out of the car and wanted to go over to take a look, but when he first walked to the middle of the bridge, he felt that his legs were numb, and he suddenly couldn't walk as if he had been filled with lead.
Slowly, he said that he heard a singing voice, as if someone was singing children's songs behind him, and in the middle of the night he thought it was a fat man's spoof, but when he wanted to turn around, he found that his neck couldn't move.
Ye Qiu said that the only thing he could move at that time was his mouth, and he opened his mouth fiercely and bit the tip of his tongue, but at the moment when he felt that his body had recovered, he was suddenly slapped on the back.
Ye Qiu didn't lie, there was a purple bruise on his back, and the fat man said that he who could beat Ye Qiu like that with external force must be a super-first-class master.
Cha Wenbin said, where did there be so many masters in Hongcun, but he estimated that something dirty was done, otherwise Ye Qiu would not be unable to walk, but Ye Qiu said that it was a human being and not a ghost
