Chapter 47: Who is Lao Qiu?
This next qiē is the same as the clues found before!
I thought about the strange paintings in the closet, could it be that they were the ones I was referring to? But the people in the painting have a completely ancient feeling.
I was finally able to pace back and forth in the house, but Lao Qiu's house was so small that I didn't have to take two steps before I turned around.
Bai Kai couldn't stand it anymore, and said that he was dizzy, and asked me to sit down, so he stretched out his finger and pointed at Lao Qiu. I just remembered that Lao Qiu's matter hasn't been clarified yet!
Lao Qiu was pointed at by Bai Kai, making him a little restrained, and he wanted to speak for a long time looking at his expression, but he didn't open his mouth.
In the end, Bai Kai used words to lead him, saying that the reason why Lao Qiu was here was to keep a secret.
Lao Qiu told me 1510 at this time.
said that this hat factory was set up by their village earlier, and said that it was for the welfare of the people, but in fact, several village cadres used the people in the village to make money in disguise. But at that time, everyone's income was not high, the place was too cold, and farming was hard and difficult, so everyone was happy to work in the factory.
At that time, the main hats made in the factory were leather hats unique to the Northeast, and the local products were abundant, and every family was a hunter. When the sales are not large, there is no need to even buy raw materials, organize a few people to carry shotguns to the mountains for a turn, and everything is available.
Later, it was also the cadres in the village who went out to sell and unexpectedly received several orders from Russia. The scale of the factory has changed from a small workshop in the early days to what it is now.
But blindly expanding production, in that state of affairs, was obviously very dangerous.
As a result, after the foreign orders were completed, the factory was completely idle, and the workers could not stand the status quo for several months, and either went home to farm, or secretly sold something in the factory. Anyway, the factory should be closed.
At that time, Lao Qiu had already made plans and was ready to be an honest farmer. But at this time, the factory unexpectedly received another order and came to life strangely.
Lao Qiu said that the situation at that time was very strange, and a few people came to the factory first. The dress is obviously from the city, but all of them are very strict, and they are inspected several times inside and outside the hat factory by the village cadres. After leaving, the factory began to make a strange-looking hat. The reason why the hat is strange is that it is much higher than the hat at that time, and when you wear it, there is always a gap on the top of your head, which in the environment of the Northeast, the tighter the wrap, the better, so that it is resistant to cold. So at that time, the workers were very impressed with this hat. Lao Qiu couldn't help but be curious, and once asked the village cadres who received those people if the design of this hat was wrong. The village cadres sued him, saying that this was what those people had repeatedly asked for, and that he couldn't be wrong.
At that time, the amount of this batch of hats was quite large, and more than a dozen people worked overtime to finish the work. There were about five or six hundred tops. When it was time to deliver the hats, there were a lot of people who came to pick up the hats, more than 100 people, and this situation made Lao Qiu and others stunned, thinking that they were going to dismantle the factory. And what is even more strange is that these people did not wrap their hats in a car or something, but each of them put one on the spot and then left in droves in droves. But because the number of people who came did not reach the number of hats ordered by the other party, there were a lot of hats left. Those people don't want it either. So the workers each took a lot of home, Lao Qiu's hat was left at that time, but he didn't wear it for long, the one he had worn for a long time was unintentionally lost, so he turned out another one and wore it.
After those people left, the people in the village talked about it for a long time. I don't know who said it, but there are more than 500 people who should come, and the number of hats should be the same anyway. But there must have been some accident and a lot of people died, so there were only a hundred or so left.
Lao Qiu's face was very heavy when he thought of those people when they took their hats. It seems to be in line with the rumors in the village.
However, this matter can only be regarded as a talking point, and it will soon pass. After that, the factory was really deserted for a while, and a few more people came.
The people who came this time were similar to the last time, and they were also from the city. But obviously more sophisticated than those people, and they speak very politely. Smoke when I see everyone. Several of them were dressed in a polite manner, much like intellectuals. The people in this village respect the scholars the most, and everyone gets along very happily. Lao Qiu also made a special trip to hunt hares and invited a few people to eat at home. At that time, in Lao Qiu's opinion, two of these people were obviously cadres. The others have always listened to the command of these two people, and it is obvious that these two people do not speak when they usually speak, and it is difficult for others to express their positions.
Lao Qiu was naturally very impressed by these two people, and he didn't know the specific names. I only know that one of these two people is surnamed Wan and the other is surnamed Yuan.
They must all be engineers in the city or something.
These people ordered a lot of unique leather goods from the Northeast in the factory, which was not large, but it was quite laborious to do. At that time, there were not many people left in the factory, and the production capacity was very low. So these people lived in the village around the factory for many days, and they always seemed to wait for the things to be made and take them away.
However, it was just an image, because before the thing was finished, the heavenly man suddenly disappeared one day and never appeared again.
The money for this leather goods has already been paid by the other party. As soon as it disappeared so suddenly, everyone was a little at a loss, the society at that time was not as profitable as it is now, and the folk customs here were still very simple. The other party did not leave contact information, but the village still sent two people with leather goods to the city to inquire. But the mountains and rivers are so vast that they don't even know which city those people are from. In the end, I had to give up, and waited for those people to come back. I waited so long, but I never waited.
Lao Qiu later realized that these people didn't come to buy leather goods at all, and leather goods were just an excuse to stay here. But as for what these people are here for, he can't figure it out.
There was nothing to explain about the rest of the matter, and the factory was completely yellow (closed) later. Lao Qiu went home and continued his life uneventfully.
When he said this, Lao Qiu's face suddenly sank. looked at Bai Kai, as if asking for his opinion.
Seeing Bai Kai nodded, he continued to speak.
One year after that, just after the end of the millennium, Lao Qiu was already in his fifties, and he hadn't hunted for many years. Suddenly, his hands were itching, and he was carrying a dirt gun into the mountain. This advance coincided with the arrival of a blizzard, and with his years of experience, it stands to reason that he should be able to save the day. But after all, where is the year, but something happened accidentally, and he stepped on the air and rolled down the mountain, and the person hit a tree trunk and died directly.
Lao Qiu said that it was difficult to explain what the specific situation was at that time, anyway, he digested it for many years before he could not let this matter knot in his heart. He crashed into a tree and woke up to find himself in a room. He thought he had been rescued by a kind person, but when he got up, he found a young man guarding the room. But before he could get up and thank the young man for saving his life, the young man preemptively told him something.
It was this incident that made him digest it for many years before he calmed down.
That is, Lao Qiu is dead. The corpse was still frozen in the deep mountains and old forests of the northeast.
And the current body was borrowed by the young man for him, and he is alive or dead. On weekdays, this body is not his, only at night when the yin qi begins to flourish, and the body begins to sleep. He can move freely.
It was difficult for Lao Qiu to accept this at the time, but there were many stories of animals in the Northeast who had integrated into human society after their human beings, and he did not doubt it. Moreover, a face in the mirror that he was completely unfamiliar with could already prove that what the young man said was true.
This ending is not according to Lao Qiu's wishes, but it is better than death after all. Lao Qiu is actually not afraid of death, but he can't let go of his wife and children at home, even now, he often quietly goes to his original home to help. However, this is all at night, although his family is aware of it, but he has rarely been able to communicate, but looking at it from such a distance, Lao Qiu is already content.
The young man told him that it was not unconditional to save him. The condition is to live in this abandoned factory. Lao Qiu didn't know how the other party persuaded the real owner of this body. Anyway, since Lao Qiu agreed, he woke up at night, and the person was already in this empty factory.
The young man sued him, and after that, there must have been some strange people coming here.
He didn't know when those people would come, so he had to arrange for someone to keep watch here.
