Chapter 36: Zhang Mao
When Lao Wu went to find the blind man to change the medicine, he listened to him talk about what happened before, to say that the strange things that happened in the whole Henan before, the blind man knew a lot, plus his mouth was broken, and he could talk to anyone for a long time. On this Liu Dong family, he let the rat fairy rub his body into a monster with a rat head and bite people to death, he saw it with his own eyes, so he said it the most times, and he deliberately lowered his voice when he said it, so that people could listen to it like a storytelling on the street.
Lao Wu was stunned when he heard that he found burnt paper ashes in the dumplings that Liu Dong's family ate last, and then he didn't listen to what Blind Langzhong said.
The blind man was distracted by his speech, and his subordinates were not serious, and when he untied the cloth strip on Lao Wu's wound, he used a lot of force, scraping a little fresh meat around the wound and leaving a little blood out. This blind man was startled, and quickly bandaged it with a clean cloth with medicine, and he sweated all the time, and then remembered why this old Wu didn't move, so he looked up at him.
Lao Wu looked at the door with straight eyes and was stunned, and the blind man stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, but Lao Wu still didn't react, so he pushed him, and then came back to his senses. Lao Wu looked around, and when he looked down and saw that his arm had been changed, he took out a few cents and still raised his leg on the table and left, leaving the blind man looking at his back as he left, and muttering: "Hey, what's wrong with this old Wu?" ”
After leaving the blind man's house, he kept walking in the direction of the grave slope, and he thought of many things on the way.
Blind Langzhong is right, they can't afford to provoke this, if the person who put the floating corpse in the dormitory at night and injured the third and fourth children wanted to kill them, then they would not have survived a long time ago. His behavior was more like scaring the grave herders, but they were only moving graves, so why did the man bother doing this? Besides, these things have nothing to do with them in the first place, whether the grave team has done something that he can't accept, or whether they have found something.
Thinking of these old Wu stunned in place and looked at the mountains and fields in the distance, they were the grave team to do the work of moving the grave, and there has been nothing wrong with it for more than two years, but since the beginning of the grave slope, there have been strange things, the initial strange thing should have been heard at night by the old fox Hu Wan's voice, and then found a lot of rat holes in the grave of the grave, according to Liu Mao's statement, they were all big holes dug by the big white rats in the previous famine years, so this hole was found from the beginning They have not been careful, It is also possible that it was because of the discovery of this hole that it led to something about the Zhang family, so who did what happened in the past month, is it really the old man of the Zhang family?
Originally, Lao Wu didn't want to care about these things anymore, but he always felt that there was something to do with the grave team, but he couldn't think of it, fortunately, he avoided it, and after finishing the work on the grave slope as soon as possible, they would go to other places to move the grave.
Lao Wu stood on the side of the road and thought for a while and then raised his feet to continue to hurry, he was afraid that the meat boys of the grave team would take advantage of his absence and be lazy and not work, so he was in a hurry, and when he happened to walk through a square wooden pile more than two meters high on the side of the road, he suddenly rolled down a big piece of wood from above, but fortunately, Lao Wu walked in a hurry and took that step before he was smashed.
Lao Wu's frightened head had a layer of white sweat, and he hid aside in fright, saw a wooden stick at his feet, and quickly bent down to pick it up to defend himself, but before he could straighten his waist, he saw a person walking out from behind the wooden pile.
As a result, there was a false alarm, and the person who came out was the thin old man from the village forest farm. This thin old man has yellow skin and dried meat, thin arms and legs, and in the distance he sees a piece of bean skin on a few bamboo poles, he is helping the forest farm to look at the wood, and this wooden pile is also sorted out by him.
The thin old man pushed his waist with his hand, and walked out from behind the square pile of wood crookedly, and when he saw that Lao Wu was still standing there, he was also startled, and hurriedly asked, "I'm sorry, I didn't hit it, did you?" ”
Lao Wu saw that the string in the thin old man's heart was tightened, and he threw the wooden stick aside and said: "Fortunately, I walked fast just now, if I am half a step slower, I guess my head will be smashed into my stomach, hey, I said, brother, what are you doing?" Why are you still throwing wood outside? ”
The thin old man smiled and said, "Can I still move such a big wooden block with my old arms and legs?" I just tidied up on the square pile of wood, but I stepped on the deviated wood and fell down with the wood, but fortunately I fell to the mound behind, so I didn't fall to my death, but I twisted the old waist, and I really couldn't help it. ”
After the thin old man finished speaking, he went to move the fallen square wood again, but he had little strength and flashed his waist, and finally picked up a corner of the big square wood from the ground, but he couldn't lift it anymore. Seeing this, Lao Wu also went over to take a hand, the big square wood is more than half a meter long, especially heavy, not to mention a hundred and ten pounds heavy, Lao Wu can only use one hand to help top the pile of wood, the two of them finally pushed the big piece of wood onto the pile, they are tired and sit on the ground and snort with panting.
Lao Wu sat on the side, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and asked the old man, "Brother, did you put all this wood on the yard?" It's not easy. ”
The thin old man grinned and finally took a breath, and when he heard Lao Wu ask him, he said: "Brother, I didn't even want to lift that big piece of wood just now when I was young, let alone now, this work was done by a black-faced strong man in the village, and I was just responsible for watching the night watch." Don't look at the two of us who worked so hard to put that piece of wood on it, if the black-faced strong man who used to work did it, he would just grab it and throw it up, without taking any more breath, that strength is really not covered. But the man hasn't been here for more than a month, so I can only let this old man take over. ”
As soon as Lao Wu heard this, he stood up suddenly, stared at the beads in his eyes, and asked the thin old man: "Which black-faced strong man?" Is it from the village? What's the name? ”
The thin old man didn't expect Lao Wu to react so strangely, and he was stunned by his question, and said for a long time: "I, I'm here, oh, that man is from the village, his face is very dark, it's called Zhang, Zhang, what's the name Zhang?" I can't remember this all of a sudden. ”
Lao Wu took a few steps back, and didn't wait for the thin old man to turn around and leave. The thin old man kept thinking about what the black-faced man was called, and when Lao Wu walked out a few dozen meters away, he suddenly remembered, and shouted behind him: "I remember, that man's name is Zhang Mao." ”
Lao Wu, who had already gone away, also pronounced the name "Zhang Mao" in his heart at the same time
Zhang Mao is a sturdy man in the village, and some villagers call him Zhang Heizi. Zhang Mao's appearance is not good, but the thickness of his arms is terrifying, and the thickness is the same as that of ordinary people's thighs, and he is covered in tendon meat, although he is not as big as Hu Da's shoulders, but the strength can be compared to two Hu Da's arms.
When Lao Wu first came to Wulichuan Town, he was unfamiliar with the place, and Lao Wu didn't look like a good person at that time, and no one dared to contact him, so Lao Wu could only hide in the shack to survive. Usually, Lao Wu helps people lead the old cow to turn the ground in the village, and when he finishes the work in the field, when he leaves, he directly picks some ripe crops from the field to him, which is regarded as labor fees.
This countryman has a good heart and a lot of relief for him, but he had a hard time that year, and there were few people who could help, so Lao Wu was able to live a bite to eat. After he came for a while, he found a broken house in the village that no one lived in for a while, the house was uninhabited all the year round, the roof was about to collapse, it was raining heavily outside, it was raining lightly in the house, it was very humid everywhere, and there was always a strange feeling in this house, every night after going to bed, I always felt that there were several people around me staring at him, and suddenly woke up after the house was deserted, it didn't look like a place to live, this place used to live in a family of five, who? It was Liu Dong's family who was poisoned by the rat.
Lao Wu he didn't know, and no one told him, until one time Lao Wu was sleeping in the middle of the night, he suddenly felt a cold little hand touching himself, he got up with a spirit, squatted on the kang and saw five people standing on the side, two adults and three children, all dressed in white, with pale faces, and there was no wind in the house, but these people's clothes and hair seemed to be swaying with the wind, and the silence was terrible. Lao Wu instantly understood that this was a ghost, so he arched out directly through the broken window of the house, and ran away as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
The next day, Lao Wu curled up by a wall to sleep, and when he was sleeping soundly, someone suddenly woke him up, Lao Wu squinted his eyes and saw that it was a black-faced man, looking at him with a smile on his face.
Lao Wu turned his head to look around, he thought he was sleeping in a place outside the wall of someone else's house, so he was about to get up and leave, but he was about to turn around and leave when he was suddenly stopped by the black-faced man.
"Big brother, are you hungry? Why don't you come to my house for a bite to eat? ”
Lao Wu swallowed his saliva when he heard him say this, turned around and said, "Brother, do you really want to give me something to eat?" ”
The black-faced man still smiled and said: "I see that you have been here for many days, and you have been living in the dilapidated house of Liu Dong's family, that place is evil and haunted, no one dares to live You can live for so many days, you are a man." ”
Lao Wu said with a bitter face: "It's still a man, I was almost scared to pee my pants last night, and now I am all smiling." ”
The black-faced man said, "What do you call your eldest brother, come to my house to wash your face first?" Then eat something. ”
Lao Wu was really hungry, and when he heard the black-faced man say that he would let him go to his house to eat something, he was not welcome, so he followed.
Unexpectedly, this black-faced man was extremely hospitable, and he actually let Lao Wu live in the empty back room of his house, and usually took him to do some odd jobs or something. Later, when he learned that Lao Wu had the skill of digging wells, the black-faced man helped him find a job, and he got better little by little in the future.
said that he had a daughter-in-law and couldn't run too far all day, of course Lao Wu understood, who wants to leave a daughter-in-law at home and move the grave everywhere by himself. But Lao Wu has lived in the black-faced man's house for so long, and he has never seen what the daughter-in-law looks like, and he has never shown up at all, and has been staying in that house.
That black-faced man is Zhang Mao, he should be kind to Lao Wu, but at this moment, he actually knew that those things were done by the usually honest Zhang Mao, Lao Wu was surprised and had some questions.
