Wang Laifu was stunned and collapsed on the ground, his mind blank, staring at Qu Lili's corpse stupidly.

A gloomy voice behind him said, "Laifu, you have done such a hurtful thing. No one can help you, you should follow me to the police station and turn yourself in, or you can be treated leniently, avoid being shot, sentenced to life imprisonment, and save your life! ”

Wang Laifu, who was stunned, was shocked to hear Wang Dafu's words, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and suddenly sobered up a lot.

He knelt on the ground, hugged Wang Dafu's legs, wept bitterly and begged: "Dafu, I don't want to die!" For the sake of us growing up together, Brother Daifuku help me! ”

Wang Dafu sighed for a long time, bent down to help Wang Laifu, who was kneeling on the ground and tearful, and said softly: "Laifu, you be quiet, don't cry, let others hear, but no one can protect you!" ”

Wang Laifu immediately suppressed his crying and asked nervously: "Brother Dafu, did you promise to save me?" Brother Daifuku, I am just a cow and a horse, and I want to repay your kindness! ”

Wang Dafu said in a low voice: "Laifu, for the sake of our ancestors and ancestors, I will hide this matter from you." Alas, I helped you once against my conscience, and I don't want you to smear us in Xiangyang Village! ”

Wang Laifu was submissive, only to hear Wang Dafu say in a low voice: "Fortunately, in this room, there is only Qu Lili." Everyone in the village knows that I am going to intercede with Qu Lili during the New Year, so that she can return to Shanghai as soon as possible. During the Chinese New Year, no one will pay attention to this non-related educated youth. ”

"After a few days, after everyone found out that Qu Lili was missing, I released the news again, saying that Qu Lili rushed back to Shanghai for the New Year, because she couldn't bear the hardships in the mountain village, and never came back. Now in these years, everything is messy, I will report to the town again, and the town will send an official letter to Shanghai to investigate, but if nothing can be found, the matter will be closed. ”

Wang Laifu's heart suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and his brain began to be active, and he cautiously asked tentatively, "Village Chief, do you mean to let me quietly dispose of the corpse?" ”

Wang Dafu said with a straight face: "I don't know anything, don't tell me anything!" ”

Wang Laifu comprehended, scratched his head and thought hard, and said to himself: "What can I do about this? What am I going to do? ”

Wang Dafu suddenly cleared his throat and said: "Laifu, there are only two female intellectuals in our village, and the conditions are relatively difficult. You see, the kang they live in is a bit old, and you have to take the time to help them rebuild it. ”

Wang Laifu was stunned, and he didn't understand why the village chief Wang Dafu talked about helping the educated youth at this time, obviously Wenyuan had committed suicide and been buried, and Qu Lili had just killed himself by mistake, why did the village chief say that?

After staring at the dilapidated earthen kang for a while, Wang Laifu suddenly came to his senses and asked with a happy face: "Brother Dafu, do you mean to let me bury Qu Lili in the earthen kang?" ”

Wang Dafu coughed dryly and said, "Brother Laifu, why don't I understand what you're talking about?" I don't know anything, I'm just asking you to take the time to do something good for the educated youth. ”

Wang Laifu was full of joy and said continuously: "Thank you Brother Dafu for saving your life, I know what to do!" ”

He stood up, walked into the hall and found a big hoe, returned to the room, spat on his hands, and rounded his shoulders to smash the clay kang where Qu Lili lived.

Wang Dafu snatched the hoe from his hand and scolded: "Brother Laifu, why did you have a pig brain? Can this kang move? If the news of Qu Lili's disappearance comes out, I, as the village head, will definitely accompany the leaders of the town's educated youth office to come to inspect it. As soon as you see this new kang, Qu Lili is gone, in case someone is suspicious, this matter will not be covered, then you will be dead. ”

Wang Laifu originally had hope of life and was full of joy, but now he was suddenly stopped and reminded by Wang Dafu, and he couldn't help but become depressed all of a sudden.

Wang Dafu said unhurriedly: "Come to Fu, Wenyuan can't think of committing suicide for a while, and now he has been buried in peace." No one will go into her room for a while. You can help her fix and tidy up her room! I have something to do, I have to go first! ”

Wang Dafu left the house without looking back, leaving Wang Laifu alone in a daze.

After a while, he suddenly realized the meaning of Wang Dafu's words, and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy again.

So, he hugged Qu Lili's body and walked into Wenyuan's room. When he put the body down, it began to smash the kang open.

When he smashed open the earthen kang and picked up Qu Lili's body and placed it in, he let out a long breath.

After a short rest, Wang Laifu, who had recovered his strength, took water from the well, mixed the mud blocks, and began to rebuild the clay kang.

When all this was completed, Wang Laifu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the newly dished kang back and forth, did not find any flaws, and saw that the sky was about to dawn, so he hurriedly left the house and returned to his home.

The next night, Wang Laifu quietly sneaked into the house with firewood again. He mixed all the belongings of Wenyuan with firewood, lit them, and began to bake the wet clay kang.

After a few days, the new kang has been baked, and there are no flaws in it. All of Qu Lili's belongings were also burned by Wang Laifu when he was baking the clay kang, which also inadvertently contributed to the false impression that Qu Lili was returning to Shanghai.

What made Wang Laifu even more happy in his heart was that when he was baking the clay kang, although he was extremely careful not to make people suspicious, there were still a few sparks that jumped out of the chimney and windows for people to discover, and it was accidentally rumored that the house was haunted.

Rumors of haunting spread rapidly in the mountain village, and no one dared to approach the haunted house again. And the village head Wang Dafu listened to the proposal of the accountant Wang Laifuhe, and did not instruct the villagers to demolish the house, nor did he use it for another purpose, and the house was idle for decades.

After Wang Laifu finished speaking, he sighed with relief.

Li Bing frowned and thought for a while and said, "Wang Laifu, you killed Qu Lili by mistake at that time, and you were extremely nervous, so you ignored some details. I ask you, don't you wonder why village chief Wang Laifu suddenly appeared in this house on Chinese New Year's Eve? It stands to reason that Chinese New Year's Eve is the time when families are busy celebrating the New Year, how can he appear in the middle of the night? Could it be that the village chief was a bachelor like you at that time? ”

Wang Laifu hesitated and replied: "No, I just went to be a soldier, and the Dafu brothers got married." By the time I was demobilized, they had been married for more than three years. Yes, I couldn't figure out why Sister-in-law Zhou was willing to let the Dafu brothers come out to talk to Qu Lili about work and life on Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

Li Bing and the others immediately understood that the sister-in-law Zhou that Wang Laifu was talking about was the Aunt Zhou they were familiar with, that is, the wife of the village chief Wang Dafu.
