Chapter 106: Joy and Mourning (II)
At that time, the scene was really big, twenty or thirty villagers rushed up with short sticks and shovels, and Qian Zha Paper and I stood behind and were all stopped.
And the gang of grave diggers were also stunned, at this moment, some villagers rushed to the front, helped up the Jiang brothers on the ground, and a few people took the guy to save the third child of the Jiang family, during which the two sides inevitably had some physical conflicts, but fortunately, in the end, they were stopped by a person in the village who spoke very effectively.
That person seemed to be the party secretary of the village, and he was also eating and drinking at Na Nie's house, but he didn't want to, but this kind of thing happened, but fortunately he didn't drink much wine and his mind was quite clear, so he hurriedly shouted: "Stop!! ”
When he shouted like this, the villagers stopped, comforting the Jiang brothers, and glaring angrily at the group, the book stepped forward and said to the middle-aged man who had appeared in the courtyard before: "What's going on, who are you?" ”
The middle-aged man sneered, and then said a few words to the branch secretary, the branch secretary frowned, turned around and whispered a few words to the person next to him, because it was a little far away, I didn't hear clearly, the word spread quickly in the crowd surnamed Suo, and it didn't take long for me to know which way this guy was digging the grave.
It turns out that this living person is the local civil affairs department, and he came here to enforce the law, and I wondered when I heard this, although I don't know what this civil affairs department is doing, but literally speaking, civil affairs, civil affairs, the people are the first and the government is last, this should be to protect the people, why do you want to do such a thing that lacks great virtue?
It seemed that everyone was similar to what I thought, but I saw that there was a person in the crowd who was anxious, and scolded at the guy: "We don't care where they are, but why the hell are you digging people's graves?" Or is it not human?! ”
The middle-aged man who seemed to be a cadre frowned, and then said loudly: "Everyone calm down first......
"I'm calm, your grandma's legs!!" Obviously, these natives are not used to this cadre, plus they drank too much wine, they were even more excited, for a while everyone scolded again, and those who were impulsive wanted to step forward to do it, and the atmosphere was very tense for a while, only to see the cadre say loudly: "What are you arguing about!" We are reasonably enforcing the law, the Jiang family is illegally buried, and we have issued a penalty notice to the Jiang family in advance. But Jiang Baishan still didn't pay the fine, so we had to deal with it impartially. ”
After hearing the cadre's words, the secretary turned to the person named Jiang Baishan and asked, and Jiang Baishan cried: "We have been like this for generations, and Uncle Wang, you know what is going on in my family, how can I give them 5,000 yuan?" When they see that they don't pay, they will dig up my mother's grave...... I, I'm not alive!! ”
After that, he howled and cried, crying so miserably, it was very desolate in his heart, the crowd in the village was excited, the big guys couldn't help it, several young men rushed out and fought with those guys, and at this moment, a man in uniform shouted: "Stop!" Disrupt law enforcement, believe it or not I'm going to arrest you all?! ”
Although everyone was angry, but after all, they were all ordinary people, and when they were shouted by this person, they were stunned, and when they saw those uniformed people blocking in front, everyone didn't dare to move anymore, and the cadre said: "Actually, I understand everyone's feelings, but we are also acting in accordance with the law, and in the afternoon, people from the family will come to the crematorium to claim the ashes." ”
At this point, he turned to the man beside him and shouted, "Move out!" ”
After receiving the order, the men began to act, and the huge red coffin was chiseled open with a few blows, and after the coffin lid was opened, a foul smell came to the face.
Seeing that the coffin was chiseled, everyone present was angry and did not dare to speak, even I couldn't stand it, and the people of the Jiang family suddenly knelt on the ground, crying hoarsely.
The people ignored them, but they all frowned, because it was the height of summer, and it was said that the old lady had only been dead for more than two months, and she should not have decomposed cleanly, and the worms in the bones were wriggling, and the smell of corpses made many people vomit all the wine and food they had just eaten.
But those people didn't care, and later I learned that the coffins were carried by the crematorium, and they were already familiar with the dead body, and after wrinkling their noses slightly, a few people wore gloves and moved the old lady who had been buried in the ground for a long time into a special bag, sealed it, and threw it behind a car.
Seeing that their mother was still suffering such a disaster after her death, the brothers of the Jiang family suddenly lost their minds, crying and rushing out to fight with those people, but they were stopped by the villagers, such a big thing happened, most of everyone's wine had already woken up, and they also knew that they could not do anything, so they stopped a few people from the Jiang family and prevented them from doing stupid things, after that, those people got into the car and walked away, leaving only the villagers present to stare at each other and sigh, and the four people of the Jiang family lay on the empty coffin and cried, The material of the coffin is red, and the words "Fuyin's descendants are blessed and long-lived" are dazzling.
I sighed, thinking to myself that there are really all kinds of things, if you told me this kind of thing before, then I can't believe it, although the state prohibits burial, but these Zhuang family members who grew up in remote villages for various reasons, have been buried in the ancestral grave for generations, even if the burial is not right, but after all, the dead are big, since they are buried in the soil, why do you have to spend so much effort to dig them out?
The ancients said that there is no greater grief than the death of the heart, and there is no greater sin than the seizure of the house, if I am not mistaken, those who can be treated such as digging up graves and exhuming corpses are generally the extreme revenge of some feudal bureaucrats out of their own selfish interests, how can it still happen in this society now?
I was really shocked, I couldn't calm down for a long time, a happy event in the small village today, but also affected by this sudden funeral, and finally everyone broke up unhappily.
Back at the Nie family, only the Nie family and a few neighbors who helped cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, I told Han Wanchun about it, the strange thing is that Han Wanchun didn't think so, he said to me, hey, how old are you, have you eaten salty salt for a few days? There's a lot you don't know, and that's normal.
Why? I asked.
Han Wanchun said to me: "If everyone is buried in soil after they die, where will they get the urn funeral expenses?" How many crematoriums have to go out of business? How many workers have to be laid off? How many plots of land are occupied? How many ........."
I said to Han Wanchun: "Stop, stop, why did you drink too much and talk nonsense, you are not a cadre, do you want to pay for it?" ”
Han Wanchun smiled, and then said to me: "There are no pure good people in this world, and there are no pure bad people, only pure interests, and you can't afford to be profitable, you know?" ”
Wouldn't that be the end of saying that earlier? I snorted.
The good wedding banquet ended like this, and when it was evening, after eating, I went out for a walk with Qian Zha paper, and met the villagers chatting and talking about this during the day, so we stopped to listen, only to see a villager wearing a straw hat said in a colorful voice: "What a sin, what kind of sin did the old Jiang family do, and it happened to this thing." ”
The other said: "Isn't it, I heard that Baishan came back and cried, and the brothers plan to sue." ”
The one in the straw hat said: "The complaint is a fart, the grave has been dug up, can it be filled back again?" ”
The other said: "What you said is also reasonable, hey, what the hell is going on, everyone in our village is buried in coffins when they die, why is his house dug up?" ”
The one in the straw hat said: "Shh, be quiet, don't talk nonsense about you stinky old ladies, I also met Baishan just now, and everyone said it clearly, this kind of thing is actually too much, can you take care of it?" This is called 'the people do not lift, the officials do not hold accountable'! ”
"You said someone was behind his back?"
"Then look at it, if no one says it, who knows what's going on in your family."
Several villagers had a heated discussion, and I felt a chill in my heart when I listened to it, thinking that this society was too terrible, and the feelings turned out to be who the Jiang family had offended, so they suffered this bad luck, alas, where is this reasonable?
There are too many things that have no place to reason, and most of these things have two things in common, one is that the people will be very angry when they hear about it, and the other is that most of these things have an ambiguous ending, and in the end they can only become everyone's after-dinner conversation.
Today is considered to be a long experience, I glanced at Qian Zhashi and didn't say anything, and returned to Nie's house, stay one night today, and we will leave tomorrow morning.
I remember, that night was very hot and stuffy, lying on the kang a little breathless, as if it was going to rain, it took a long time to fall asleep, the next morning I got up, found that Nie Baozhong and the old man Nie had already gotten up, were sitting in the yard and said something, when they saw me coming, they beckoned me over.
I saw Nie Baozhong say to the old man: "Second master, don't think about it, it's all nothing." ”
The old man sighed, and then said, "But this is too scary, and everyone dreams of it." ”
What are you dreaming about? I was a little curious, so I asked the old man, the old man's face looked very bad, completely lost the scenery of yesterday's spring breeze and proud old man, I saw him say to me: "Little Ershen'er, you interpret my dream, it's too scary." ”
After that, he told me what was going on, it turned out that last night the old man had a dream, he actually dreamed that the old lady of the Jiang family came to him, the old lady stood in front of his kang, her face was bloodless, and said to him gloomily: "You are very happy, my body has been gouged, but you are drinking here." ”
The old man was frightened and hurriedly explained to her that he didn't know, but the old lady said to him, "It's useless to say anything, I'm not good, don't think about it." ”
After finishing speaking, the old lady brushed it and it was gone, and the old man also woke up at this time, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly woke up his daughter-in-law, but he didn't expect his daughter-in-law to have a similar dream.
After the old man said this, he sighed: "Hey, that eldest sister was quite unreasonable when she was alive, but I didn't expect to toss people so much after she died............
Nie Baozhong was afraid that his second uncle would think too much, so he persuaded him: "It's nothing, you old man, always suspicious, want to open a little, don't keep thinking about it, have a good time, now I will help you marry the second mother back to you, my old man was very happy to call yesterday, nothing happened, we left at ** o'clock." ”
"Little Ershen'er, what do you say is going on, can you break it for me?" The old man ignored Nie Baozhong, and asked me instead.
I listened to what he said and panicked, thinking that I don't know what this is about, you must know that I am a shaman, not Zhou Gong, and I can't solve this dream for you, seeing that Nie Baozhong was bored, I had an idea in my heart, so I echoed Nie Baozhong and said: "Brother Nie is right, old man, don't think about it, there is nothing to do, you can relax and enjoy happiness............
Before the words were finished, the door of the courtyard opened, and I saw the eldest son of the old man Nie walking in, carrying a bag of fritters in his hand. ”
"What's wrong?" Old Man Nie asked.
His eldest son put the breakfast aside, and then said to us: "The police car came just now and took Jiang Baishan away. ”
"Why?" Nie Baozhong asked.
I saw the eldest son of the old man Nie said: "It seems that the person died last night, and it is the cadre who led people to dig his grave." ”
"Really?" I was stunned for a moment, and the eldest son of the old man Nie said: "It seems to be true, can you arrest someone?" But Bai Shan has been at home yesterday, and he went to our house to borrow money at night and wanted to pay the fine, you said that this matter was done. ”
"How did that man die?" Old Man Nie asked.
His eldest son said: "Everyone said this, I don't know how he died, the more he said, the more evil it became, some people said that it was the old Mrs. Jiang who appeared and killed that person, and several people said that he also dreamed of the old lady last night, and I had goosebumps all over my body." ”
(The two watches are over, and I will continue to ask for votes and recommendations, thank you ~~~!! )
