Chapter 43: Crazy Rumors

Blood, bright red blood, all over the ground,,, I was shocked to witness everything around me, this is obviously an alpaca village, but why, why do I see blood, why do I see blood, people, where have the people in alpaca village gone,,

Suddenly, I saw a group of people walking out of the village, they were all the villagers I had seen during the day, but their faces were hideous, covered with blood, and each of them carried torches, knives, tongs, shovels, etc., as if they had just come out of the fighting,,,

"Burn the marble."

"Burn the marble."

“,,,,,。”

This, what's going on, how did they know about the drought, didn't I tell Lao Yang and Gengqing not to talk about it, did it,,,

Things were much worse than I thought, in the crowd, there were three or five people dragging several bloody corpses, I looked at them with wide eyes, there was a woman, there were two children, and there was also a gray-haired old man, ah~~~~

I sat up suddenly, a row of bean-sized beads of sweat suddenly rolled down my forehead, I wiped the sweat with trembling hands, and took a deep breath of air.

The palm of my hand slightly felt that something had arrived, and I looked down, it turned out that I was holding the jade Buddha bead tightly, oops, I actually forgot to put it away, picked up the jade Buddha bead, I looked at it in a daze, and immediately retracted my eyes, Mei'er said, I can't use my mind on this bead, it is difficult to ,,, it is difficult for me to have a nightmare just now is this jade Buddha bead,,,

"Knock knock~~~~~~Knock knock~~~~"

The rapid knocking sound of the door woke me up instantly, and then, Hong Gengqing's shouting voice came: "Mr. Big, Yang Banxian'er, open the door quickly, something is wrong." ”

"Ahh I was shocked, and the scene in the dream resurfaced in my mind, no, it wouldn't really happen, I didn't have time to think about it, I hurriedly put away the jade Buddha beads, and quickly got out of bed, just walked into the hall, but saw that the old sheep was also in a hurry with a piece of clothing rushed out, and said urgently: "What's wrong, what's wrong, what's going on,." ”

My heart was pounding, and I hoped that everything that happened in the dream was just a dream, just a dream,,, and my mind was racing, and I immediately said, "Yes, let's go out and have a look." ”

Lao Yang nodded heavily, and opened the latch of the door of the hall, and the two of us hurried to the courtyard gate, opened the courtyard door, and saw Hong Gengqing shouting in horror: "Oh no, no, the orphan mother's family, the business family, and the fourth master of Ma have all had an accident, and Li Dadong led the strong men of the whole village are preparing to dig the ancestral graves of these three families,,,. ”

I shuddered, I didn't expect that the thing I didn't want to see was really happening, and it was about to happen, I looked at the old sheep, the old sheep rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes violently, and said in a shocked voice: "What,,,Fight the drought,,Hit the ,,, and fight what the drought, who spread the news that there is a drought,." ”

Lao Yang first glanced at me, and then I and Lao Yang looked at Hong Gengqing, after Hong Gengqing left last night, Lao Yang and I never left the door half a step, and then I initiated the decision to block the news, I am absolutely impossible to go to the barrel to get out of the news, and Lao Yang's expression at this time also says everything, he has not left the door half a step, so the three of us know about this matter, except for me and Lao Yang, only Hong Gengqing is the most likely to spread the news,

Hong Gengqing's face turned pale, and then his face was flushed with anxiety, and he said: "I, I, I don't have it, I fell asleep when I went home last night, it can't be me, it's really impossible." ”

The old sheep didn't seem to give up, and immediately scolded him harshly: "It's not who else you are, you said, who did you see after you went back last night, and also, do you have a problem with talking in your sleep?" ”

"I don't have ,,,." Hong Gengqing became even more anxious, took a few steps back, and almost waved his hands and shouted: "Mr. Big, Yang Banxian'er, you have to believe me, I really didn't poke the news out." ”

I hurriedly waved my hand to stop Lao Yang from asking further, and nodded: "I believe you, I believe that you are not the one who spreads rumors, but if it is not you, then there must be another person who overheard me talking to Lao Yang last night, presumably the person who spread the rumors is him, the current situation is urgent, it is no longer important to trace who is the informant, the important thing is to stop the actions of the villagers as soon as possible, and don't let them have a conflict." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Lao Yang nodded heavily and admitted: "Picking up people's ancestral graves indiscriminately, if it's right, it's good to say, if it's wrong, people don't play with their lives, this matter must not be big, by the way, on the seventh day of the first month, let's hurry up and stop them." ”

Hong Gengqing also said anxiously: "Mr. Big, what about me." ”

I thought about it for a while, and said hurriedly: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for me and Lao Yang to save the situation, so Gengqing will go to the village chief immediately, and invite the few elders in the village who can speak out, you should know the location, okay, let's go separately now, be fast." ”

After speaking, I followed the old sheep hurriedly out of the courtyard gate, and Gengqing also rushed to the other side, after my understanding along the way, it was only from the mouth of the old sheep that the troublemakers and the three families who were made up of the trouble, Li Dadong, is the pig killer in the village, usually has a very stubborn temper, and likes to fight with the neighbors, plus the drought in the past two years, he has no business, and the temper is even worse, nothing to do with a few old oilers in the village, either gambling or doing some stealing chickens and dogs, The reputation in the ten miles and eight towns has long been bad,

I know the old oilman, just some idle and idle local hooligans, the whole has nothing to do and idle some vulgar country jokes, don't do business, a lot of crooked ways, it seems that this Li Dadong is not much better,

About the orphan mother-in-law, the old sheep said, it is rumored that she has been widowed since she got married, her husband is in poor health, their marriage is actually to give her husband a lot of joy, but her husband died soon after marriage, so far, due to feudal thinking, the lonely woman has been widowed, there is no son and half a daughter in front of him, to the old are lonely and miserable, the people in the village also shouted smoothly, the lonely woman and the lonely woman came like this,

Said that the orphan mother's family has a drought, Lao Yang speculated that it may have something to do with her husband, her husband was born in the late Qing Dynasty during the Daoguang period, named Li Xushu, at that time their family was a businessman, life was quite rich, and Li Xushu also grew up with a golden spoon, but Li Xushu is a blessed person, as the saying goes, a good family does not have a good life and can not enjoy that blessing, playing small is the size of the illness constantly, on the one hand, the family has rich land surplus grain, on the other hand, it is holding a medicine jar to grow up,

In the end, in order to treat Li Xushu's illness, his father spent all his family funds, but in the end there was no landing, until someone proposed to Li Xushu that the matchmaker was married, and the joy of the newlywed rushed Li Xushu's illness, maybe it would be good, the matchmaker said at that time was the orphan woman, not to mention, the orphan woman wanted to be a handsome girl in ten miles and eight towns, but because the family was poor and unsustainable, the parents of the orphan woman also took a fancy to the foundation of Li Xushu's family, the so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse, What's more, although Li Xushu had no family wealth at that time, he still had a few Huatang, dozens of acres of fields, the orphan woman was kind-hearted, and she was the first good hand in the crop field, the feudal thinking at that time was very rigorous, and the marriage was decided by the parents, and the matchmaker said, the orphan had to obey the arrangement of her parents and married Li Xushu.

It is said that at that time, Li Xushu's family was on the verge of family ruin, although they had a big wedding and a big banquet, but their houses and fields were all taken by the landlord in the village, Yang Datou, who was a tyrant in the village, forced the Li family to resell the land and the house deed at a low price, and even a piece of feng shui treasure left by the Li family was robbed.

This is okay, the Li family doesn't live or die, Yang Datou's move is clearly to pit the dead and not pay for his life, and the Li family is fighting a lawsuit and dredging the relationship, but these hidden things have been blocked by Yang Datou first, besides, the Li family is poor and can't live anymore, who will put gold on the face of the poor, of course, no one will help the Li family take care of this matter,

The Li family wants to find the sheep head desperately, which is also the introduction to the tragedy, the sheep is rich and powerful, not only did not truthfully cash out the trading money, but also secretly found someone to kill Li Xushu's old father, at that time Li Xushu was still sick, and the family had no way to live, he was secretly hanged after the red and white wedding, less than a month later, strictly speaking, Li Xushu's death was not a death of illness, but hanging, but who dared to say nonsense, with the power of the sheep at that time, who said who was unlucky, It is said that Yang Datou buried Li Xushu's body next to the stinky puddle in the east ravine, and he enjoyed all the belongings of the Li family.

In the end, it was to catch up with the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression for many years, the sheep didn't know where to flee with his family, people were hiding everywhere, who would worry about what place the dead were buried, over time, Li Xushu's matter sank into the endless sea of injustice, and the lonely woman never mentioned her husband's affairs, until now, some people say that the lonely woman has to stand in front of the door and look up at the direction of the east ravine for a while in the evening, I don't know what to see,,, to say that the villagers are superstitious, many are disorderly believers, maybe they think that the ground where Li Xushu is buried is not clean, And there must be a problem with the land where the drought is formed, the lonely woman has been lonely all her life, but she has not starved to death of thirst in these two years of great drought, or her dead ghost husband has become a drought fish and carried water home for her day and night, or no one can tell ,,, clearly,,,

Hearing what the old sheep said, I sighed deeply, alas, it's really too bitter,,, there is really a period of unbearable past everywhere, the orphan must have suffered a lot over the years, I said coldly: "This kind of broken reason is too far-fetched, just because Li Xushu buried the wrong place, just because a lonely old man did not starve to death and died of thirst to make an assertion, this is also too nonsense." ”

Lao Yang smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "What is this, aren't there two other families, not to mention the livelihood family, but it is much more bitter than the orphan mother's family, the orphan woman is okay, one person eats enough and the whole family is not hungry, but the livelihood family is ,,, alas." ”
