Chapter 19: The Murderer Found
After the liberation, the property of the rich man was confiscated, and a brick wall was built in the middle of the granary to separate two equal spaces, and the left side was used as a dormitory for the grave team, and the right side was a warehouse.
Just last night, there was a strange incident in the dormitory, saying that two unclaimed floating corpses were fished out of the river that day, and there was no choice but to put the floating corpses in the open space behind the dormitory of the grave team for temporary storage, but the floating corpses turned out to be like corpses in the night, one was lying on the ground in the dormitory, and the other was missing, and a group of people searched for it all night but did not find it.
This thing is so evil that the grave team didn't dare to say it, for fear that no one would believe it if they said it, but they would get into trouble because of the lack of a floating corpse. The next day, I still went to work in the grave slope, but the brothers in the grave team couldn't figure out how the dead floating corpse could come to the house?
The fourth child recalled that the floating corpse seemed to touch himself during the day, and he didn't know whether it was the yin qi of the floating corpse or the mental effect, he always felt uncomfortable all over his body, and there was an indescribable discomfort. He told the team about it, and the second child quickly picked it up again when he heard this, saying that he was also touched by the floating corpse and was kicked, and he couldn't do this job today, he strongly asked for a rest, and everyone made the floating corpse that came out in the middle of the night listless, and they didn't have the leisure to listen to the second child's nonsense, and he still had a bunch of work on hand, and no one answered when he was busy.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the second child turned around and picked up the hoe and began to dig the soil, but he was not idle while digging his mouth: "Ah? No one believes me when I speak, does it? Ignore it, ignore it, what can it do, wait for the night, the dead child is allowed to go to the kang drill in your bed, the day is so hot, the dead man must be cold and comfortable, you may think it is? Wake up in the morning with the dead person in your arms, hey! You are not allowed to jump into the puddle for a day. ”
The second brother grinded and chirped on the side for a long time, and no one heard what he said, until the sun was about to set, and the brothers called it a day and planned to go back to sleep, and they had to find the floating corpse that ran away.
Just as everyone threw their tools on the board cart and planned to drag them away, they saw that the second child was still digging the soil there, and the range of movements was very large, raising a lot of dust. The third child greeted him: "Second brother, what kind of illness did you make today, it's the first time to see you work so actively, are you planning to let Lao Wu praise or what?" ”
The second child said in a sullen voice: "Let's go, don't worry about me, we won't sleep, I'm going to dig until tomorrow." "When the second child spoke, he ploughed the soil very hard, as if he was angry with someone, brother, you look at me, I look at yours, I don't know what's going on.
Lao Wu had already started to push the cart back at this time, and he didn't look back and said hello to let the brothers go, let's go back and eat fish, don't care about the second child, there are fewer people and less mouths, and everyone can eat more.
When the second child heard this, he threw down the shovel and was about to run over, shouting as he ran: "Lao Wu, you are so bad, just wait for me not to start eating fish, you can't say anything less to me, you wait for me." ”
The second child was not angry when he heard that he was eating fish, so he ran over to this joy, and he was very happy and sad, and he didn't know who dug up the grave and didn't fill it to death, there was a hole in the grave, and the second child didn't pay attention to his feet, and he stepped on the empty foot and the whole leg fell into the hole. Because the holes in the grave are all below the soil layer, that is, at the bottom of the grave, there is a certain height from the ground, and the second child played a big split after stepping into the hole with one leg, and his legs almost crossed into a horse.
The second man is not only poor, but also not honest, he is almost forty years old, and he can often play crazy with the children in the village, this time he is unlucky and blind, and he can't look at the road on someone's grave, and people must have to fix you, he fell into the hole and cut his leg through the ligament and strained, that guy screamed in pain like killing pigs in the New Year, and the brothers wanted to carry him to the cart and take him back, but he didn't lie down alive or dead, saying that he was not dead when he was used to pull the dead.
After Xiao Qi heard what he said, he stabbed the root of the second thigh with his fingers, the second child trembled and shouted again, and the brothers laughed when they saw this, and scolded the second child angrily: "You turtle grandson, you wait for Lao Tzu, and I won't hammer you to death when my leg is better." ”
Xiao Qi was not afraid of his threat, but wanted to reach out and touch it again. The second child's leg hurt badly, these people who had no conscience still laughed at him, and he couldn't be angry Seeing that Xiao Qi was about to reach out to touch his sore spot again, he hurriedly went back to hide, but forgot that he had a leg strain, and sat directly on the ground with this step, shouting.
The others laughed and lay down, and the group laughed without conscience for a while before helping the second child up again, this time he put it on the board car The second child didn't say anything, and it was estimated that it hurt to be tired.
The group hurried back to the village, went to find a Tulang in the village who can treat bruises, and gave the second child a medicinal herb to tie his legs and tied his legs with a cloth bag to prevent them from moving.
At this time, he changed to the second child, and when he heard that he didn't have to do manual work for a long time, he began to be happy, and his brothers all squinted at him, thinking that this person was really lazy.
It was dark when I returned to the dormitory by the second child, and several people didn't sleep at all last night, plus they did a day's work, and they were troubled by the second child in the evening, and they didn't eat, and they didn't bother to take off their clothes, so they went directly into the bed to sleep.
Although he was tired, Lao Wu was thinking about things in his head, he had been in a state of half-asleep and half-awake, but in the middle of the night, Lao Wu was suddenly awakened by a noise.
Lao Wu used to live in fear with Hu Wan all day long robbing the tomb, and he had to prick up one ear when he slept, for fear that people would eat black in the middle of the night. Many years have passed, but I still can't sleep at night, and I wake up at the slightest sound.
The dormitory in the middle of the night was silent and empty, and the sound of the outhouse was extremely harsh, Lao Wu turned over when he heard this sound, and just about to poke his head out to take a look at the outhouse, he found that the floating corpse was lying on the ground next to the kang, looking straight up, not to mention how much it seeped.
Lao Wu was not afraid of this floating corpse, but he was shocked when he suddenly saw it, fortunately it was not the first time, and it was an old friend. Old Wu's mind was now completely in the outhouse, and he was eager to know what was making noise in the outhouse, and then he quietly went down to the ground to see.
Because the house was too dark, Lao Wu was afraid of falling the things in the vicinity with both hands, and he was going to go down to the outhouse to take a look, but he just put his hand on the low cabinet on the side of the kang and touched a cylindrical metal thing, which was quite cold in his hand, and he held it with both hands and touched both ends, and then he remembered that it was the flashlight given by Secretary Liu, and he had never used it once, and it could really come in handy at night.
Lao Wu held a flashlight in his hand, raised his legs to step over the floating corpse on the ground, walked by the door of the house and stretched out his head to look outside, although it was very dark, but vaguely seemed to be able to see that a black shadow was moving, Lao Wu quickly turned on the flashlight and shone it over, and only in the light did he see that it was a person, and this person was about to push the door out.
The man was very tall, with a very thick back and a strong figure, and he seemed to be a strong man, as soon as Lao Wu saw this person, he felt that it was not a haunt at all, and the two dead children were also caused by this person, so he shouted: "Who are you?" The man was stunned when he first saw the light behind him, and then he heard Lao Wu shouting, and he pushed open the outer door and rushed out.
Two people were chasing on the mountain road in the middle of the night, the person in front of him was running fast, even if it was dark around, he could still familiarly avoid some trees, Lao Wu chased behind with a flashlight, but he was not familiar with this terrain but fortunately there was a flashlight to illuminate, and he barely ran far away, but Lao Wu was always old and physically far less than before, and he was out of breath for running for so long at the moment, holding his legs with both hands and inhaling heavily, looking up to see that the person had run far away and was about to be out of sight.
Lao Wu squinted his eyes and decided that this person must be the murderer of the two halves, but this person was too bold, and he actually carried the floating corpse out of the coffin in the middle of the night and put it in the dormitory of the grave team, what did he want to do, or what did he want to express?
At the last moment, Lao Wu used a flashlight to shine a flashlight on the man who was running away, that person was so familiar with this place, it was possible that he was from the village, he tried to remember the person's back and running posture, thinking that he would go to the village chief Niu tomorrow to arrest people in the village.
But just as the man was about to run out of the light range of Lao Wu's flashlight, he suddenly stopped and stood still, Lao Wu's heart trembled, and he had a very bad premonition, thinking: "It's over, does that person want to come back and kill me?" Lao Wu ran numbly, every time he took a breath, his lungs hurt hotly, his legs were so heavy that he couldn't walk for the time being, so he had to hold a flashlight and keep wondering why the man didn't run.
After maintaining a strange state for a long time, Lao Wu's hand holding the flashlight was sore, but he didn't dare to put it down for fear that the person would rush towards him. At this time, the man slowly turned his head, and Lao Wu froze after seeing his appearance clearly, and the flashlight fell to the ground and flashed a few times before going out.
