Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Body in the Classroom
Dad's two sentences made me a little confused, it's not time yet, wait, what is Dad waiting for?
Before I could ask, Daddy went out, but it was clear from Daddy's tone that he was definitely planning something.
After lunch, I went back to school.
Now that I have all of Miao Xiaoyu's classes, Li Qing has also taken leave, and almost all the courses have fallen on me, and I have returned to the previous days when I carried a school by myself in an instant.
The kids made me dizzy, and after the kids got out of school, I dragged my tired body towards home.
Autumn is getting deeper and deeper, and it gets dark early, and at this point after school, it gets dark very quickly, and it is bright when you walk, and when you are halfway there, the sky is completely dark.
However, this point is still a little earlier, and the village is also connected to electricity, and there are lights coming from the direction of the village, which is not so dark.
As I was walking, I suddenly noticed a person in front of me.
The neighborhood of the school is a little out of the box, and no one dared to build a house near the village temple in the past.
It's going to get dark soon, why are there still people here?
Getting a little closer, I could vaguely recognize that she should be the daughter of the widow Wang Xiu'e, her name is Zhang Cui. She and I were elementary school classmates, and she was two years older than Lin Xiaowei, about the same age as me.
Generally, rural marriages are early, and she married in another village three or four years ago. However, I heard from my grandmother that Zhang Cui had an accident on the night of her wedding, and his man was thrown to the ground by those village babies because of the hole in the house, and he fell to the back of his head, and he choked on the spot. Zhang Cui's man's family was very superstitious, and put all the blame on Zhang Cui's body, they thought it was Zhang Cuikefu, and his man was killed by Zhang Cui, so they drove her away.
In fact, she is quite pitiful, because of this, no one in several nearby villages dares to marry her.
At this point, she suddenly appeared here, I felt a little strange, I got closer, I said hello, I asked, "Zhang Cui, where are you going?" ”
The expression on her face was a little flustered, but she quickly said, "It's Yang Fan, I'...... I went to the vegetable patch, and there was no food at home! ”
Her eyes kept dodging, and a little further in the direction of the school, there was indeed a vegetable patch.
After she said this, she hurried away, I felt strange, but she left in a hurry, and I didn't think too much about it, so I went back.
Today, I was tired enough to choke, so I went back to pick up food and lay there and fell asleep.
I don't know what's going on, I had a strange dream at night, and I actually dreamed of Zhang Cui. In the dream, Zhang Cui kept holding my legs, and a huge black shadow kept dragging her behind.
She looked at me and shouted for me to save her.
However, I couldn't move in my dream, and in the end, I woke up directly in a hurry.
When I thought about it in the morning, I thought it was really strange that I had such a dream, and when I looked at the time again, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, and I was going to be late.
After my grandmother finished making breakfast, she usually put it in the kitchen lid pot to keep warm, so I opened the steak, rolled a scallion pancake and ran towards the school.
Before I arrived at the school, I saw that the school yard was crowded with people from a distance.
Seeing this in the countryside, especially in our village, I knew that something was definitely going on at school, and I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.
I ran towards the school, and through the layers of crowds, I squeezed in, and the children were all outside the classroom, and some of them were simply taken away by their parents, and even covered their eyes.
I pulled a random villager and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Ouch, Fanwazi, you're here, there's a dead person in that first-grade classroom!" It was an old man who spoke, and when he said it, he lowered his voice and said it, probably because he was frightened, and his face was ugly.
I hurried towards the classroom over there, and the villagers were all around it, watching from a distance, and no one dared to approach the classroom.
When I rushed into the first-grade classroom, I was shocked to see a naked woman hanging from the beam.
Her eyes widened, her tongue was sticking out, the corners of her mouth were bleeding, and what was even more strange was that blood was dripping down the middle of her legs at the same time, and her body was even more bruised and purple.
I recognized it at a glance, she was the Zhang Cui I saw when I came home yesterday evening, so decent, didn't she say go to the vegetable field, why did she run to the school and hang herself?
Immediately afterward, I noticed that in the corner of the room, the walls were all covered with bloody handprints.
Who called Zhang Cui up?
When I saw the bloody handprints on the wall, I immediately thought of the legend of our village, when those bandits died, there were also bloody handprints on the stage.
I looked up and suddenly thought, the beam, the beam of the house was made of the big locust tree that was cut down back then, is it because of the big locust tree?
There are more and more people outside, and a girl is gone, so I can't hang it all the time, so I went out of the classroom and said to the villagers: "Uncles and aunts, let's come over a few people, put people down first!" ”
As soon as I said this, people immediately asked to come and help, and all of them had obscene expressions on their faces, and some of them were even drooling. There was nothing on He Cui inside, and the few of them went over to help, so they must have wanted to touch something or something.
However, those people all had daughters-in-law, and as soon as they responded, they were immediately grabbed by their daughters-in-law and dragged back by force.
And at this time, Zhu Danian also came over, he was holding a mat in his hand, and behind, Wang Xiu'e followed with a scolding, she scolded in her mouth: "Don't fucking be blind, my daughter was fine yesterday, people went to live at the groom's official house at night, you said she died, your uncle died, your whole family died......"
Her words were as ugly as they were, but no one in the villagers present replied to her, and they all knew that it was indeed her daughter who died. However, when she walked to the door of the first-grade classroom, she took a look, and the whole person fell down at once.
Several people came over to help Wang Xiu'e up, ten years ago she was still young, and at that time she was often remembered by those bachelors in the village, and there were ups and downs. But now Wang Xiu'e is forty or fifty years old, old and yellow, and her daughter is her everything.
I said in my heart, I don't think Wang Xiu'e can be considered a good person, ten years ago, she even helped Li Aiguo hurt people, but the villagers forgave her. When I see such a scene now, my nose is sore, and some of the villagers present are crying.
This is affection, this is sympathy, and everything else is not about it.
Zhu Danian came over, and I went over to help and used a long ladder to put He Cui's body down. Then, he used a mat he had just brought over to roll up He Cui's body, He Cui had nothing on him, and it was not appropriate to put it on the mat like that.
Since Zhu Danian came over, he hasn't said a word until now.
I knew that three people had died in the village within a few days, and he felt uncomfortable as the village chief, but I didn't know how to comfort him.
After all, people are dead, what's the use of saying something that doesn't hurt or itch?
Until He Cui's body was disposed of, several people carried the body towards Wang Xiu'e's home, no matter what, the person was gone.
Wang Xiu'e felt as if she had lost her soul, and several women carried her and walked towards her house.
But as she was walking, all of a sudden, Wang Xiu'e seemed to be crazy, and she screamed and broke free from the hands of the women and ran towards the school.
Zhu Danian realized that something was wrong, and immediately shouted: "Stop her for me!" ”
A few people went up and immediately stopped Wang Xiu'e, but Wang Xiu'e was like crazy, she struggled frantically, and even the arms of several women next to her were scratched by her.
Zhu Danian also ran over and yelled at Wang Xiu'e: "What's crazy, your daughter is gone, everyone knows that you are sad, everyone has carried you back, what are you doing when you go back?" ”
"I'm going back to find my uncle, I'm going to find my aunt to pay for his life, my mother is going to chop him!" Wang Xiu'e yelled, pointing in the direction of the school.
Her voice was very loud, and Zhu Danian immediately covered her mouth and said, "Don't shout anymore, you won't be able to live if you call your daughter again!" ”
I watched from the side, feeling that things were getting more and more strange, and Wang Xiu'e's words were very directional. Looking for her aunt to pay for his life, she also pointed in the direction of the school.
As soon as I thought about it, I saw my dad walking this way.
His steps were hurried, and after arriving here, he said: "Wang Xiu'e, don't shout yet, it's useless for you to shout like this." There is a wrong, there is a debtor, your daughter will never die like this! ”
Daddy spoke in a heavy tone, staring in the direction of the school, clenching his fists tightly.
