Chapter 176: It's none of my business
The bones of the deserted village scared me! Hurry back.
Before I could gain a firm footing, I suddenly felt a pair of hands push on my waist.
"Oh, why aren't you dead yet?"
This cold voice came from behind me, and my heart tightened when I heard it, and I looked back sharply, and I couldn't help frowning when I saw the person behind me.
"Auntie?"
Standing behind me was a hunched old lady!
I know this old lady, although I haven't seen it many times, but there is a lot of friction with her, she is the old lady who dropped the basket on my car on the last train of No. 13 on the first night!!
When I saw her again after a few months, I felt that the wrinkles on the old lady's face had increased a lot, and she was much older.
When the old lady saw me stunned, she gave me a blank look, pulled up my sleeve and walked out of the yard, muttering as she went:
"Little rabbit, you dare to come anywhere, your brain is in water!"
The identity of the sixth uncle is already clear, which shows that when the old lady saw me the first night, she said that I had nothing wrong with talking to the air, she was right!
And I still remember that this old lady went to my company to tell me to stop driving, but because of a few disagreements, I asked him to use potatoes to open the scoop!
Now that I think about it, although the old lady has an unusually hot temper, she is really kind.
When I got out of the yard, I slowly thought to myself and asked strangely:
"Auntie, why are you here?"
The old lady coughed twice and said impatiently:
"Rabbit cub, you leave me alone, I ask you, why are you here? Wasn't you the driver who drove into the reservoir for the first two months? ”
I knew that he was talking about Wang Dexi, and replied with an embarrassed smile:
"That's not me, it's a new colleague!"
The old lady nodded with a blank expression.
"Oh, it's not you, when I saw the car enter the reservoir, I thought it was you kid, don't listen to me! Do you know if you're afraid this time? ”
"Hey, auntie, I apologize to you, last time you came to look for me at the door of the company, I spoke a little badly, don't take it to heart!"
The old lady's withered face finally showed a smile.
"It's good that you're not dead, when I saw the car enter the reservoir, I will burn paper for you!"
I smiled awkwardly and asked:
"Auntie, you haven't said what you're doing here?"
The old lady pointed to the front of the road and said:
"That's where my family lives!"
"You live here?!" This really scared me a lot, and the tone of my voice instantly increased!
The old lady stretched out her hand and slapped me on the shoulder, and muttered nervously:
"What's the call, talk quietly, follow me home first!"
As he spoke, he gave me another blank look, and bent down to show me the way!
The old lady's family lives in the innermost part of these eight houses, although the house is in disrepair and the outer wall skin is cracked in many places, but unlike other houses, the doors and windows of this room are intact, and the yard is also quite clean, and it looks a little like home!
When I entered the house, the old lady pointed to a wooden stool for me to sit down, and she leaned against the wall along the kang, looked at me with a smile and asked for a long time:
"Little rabbit, why did you bring fruit, did you come to honor me?"
When I heard this, I hurriedly put the two bags of fruit I was carrying on the lid of the cabinet, and said with a smile:
"Yes, this fruit is for you!" As I spoke, I broke off a banana and peeled it and handed it to the old lady.
"Auntie, I remember that you got off the car at the paper mill at the terminal that night, why did you live in the reservoir, why wasn't it under the reservoir at that time?"
The old lady was too old, showed her few scattered teeth, took a bite of a banana, and said:
"The reservoir is not a good place, I don't dare to let you stop there more, for fear that something will happen!"
The old lady said it lightly, but my heart was very shaken when I heard it!
"So every time you go to the city, you walk back to the end of the paper mill and back to the reservoir?"
The old lady nodded and laughed again, held up the banana at me, and said:
"You've got a pretty sweet banana!"
Unexpectedly, the families by this reservoir are not only inhabited, but also the old lady who has had a few acquaintances with me, and I began to get nervous when I saw the short appearance of the old lady's clumped body
"Auntie, have you always lived here?"
The old lady didn't speak, she just lowered her head and ate the banana in her hand, but because of her bad teeth, the banana ate very slowly.
I waited with bated breath for her reply, looking forward to it ten thousand times in my heart, saying yes, saying yes all along!!
After a few minutes, when she had finished eating the banana, the old lady threw the banana peel into the corner, wiped her mouth with her cuff, and said:
"yes, I've been living here for decades!"
This big stone in my heart has finally fallen!
The old lady looked nervous and muttered:
"How can you little rabbit be so kind to bring me fruit, who are you looking for?"
I asked rhetorically:
"Auntie, do you know the old Zhou family of Tiger Waist Mountain? One year, a man surnamed Zhou came to the fishing reservoir, did you save that person? ”
The old lady nodded and said:
"How many years ago did that, why did you want to give me money, I didn't even ask for it!"
It's her!! The benefactor that the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family said also happened to be her, this old lady has all the conditions for an eyewitness!
The old lady couldn't be from the city, so I simply turned my heart to the side and asked directly:
"Auntie, you live so close to the reservoir, did you see the first car accident in the reservoir ten years ago?"
As soon as I blurted these words, my heart rose to my throat!
I thought that the old lady would be quite difficult to think for a while, but I didn't expect her to open her mouth and come:
"See, see the car driving into the reservoir!"
Witness, it's her!!
When I heard this, I breathed a sigh of relief as if I had won a battle!
The old lady lowered her head and looked at me and asked:
"Little bunny, what the hell are you doing here?"
This old lady is a little hot-tempered, but from the first night she took the car to remind me that my sixth uncle was a ghost, and then came to our company to tell me not to drive, these two things are enough to show that this old lady's heart is good!
But the accident happened late at night, and the old Tang also escaped before the car plunged into the reservoir, and I was not sure if the old lady saw this link, so I asked worriedly:
"Auntie, you witnessed the car turning into the reservoir, did you see it......... This carload of people, are there any who are dead? ”
I asked this sentence very carefully, the eyewitnesses and the file bag are ironclad evidence, but if the old lady saw the car turn into the reservoir and didn't see the old Tang escape, then it would be all over!
I clenched my hands into fists, and I didn't dare to take my eyes off the old lady for a moment.
The old lady sighed, looked up and thought for a while, and said slowly:
"I saw a man jump out of the front of the car and drown him!"
As soon as the old lady's words landed, I stood up with an excited "rub", and the evidence was established!!
I walked over and put my hands on the old lady's shoulders, and my hands trembled with excitement, and said:
"Auntie, I don't lie to you, I'm here to find witnesses, I want to sue, sue the driver who escaped, sue the leader who covered up this matter, can you be a witness?"
The old lady was startled by my series of crazy actions, angrily pushed my hands away, scolded and asked:
"Sue the driver? What do you mean, it was the one who jumped out that night by car? ”
"That's right! You see that the one who jumped out was the driver, and he was drinking that night! He threw a carload of people and ran away by himself, his uncle is a city leader, this matter was suppressed, and it was over! ”
The old lady was not as excited as I was, and let out a painless "oh"!
After a while, the old lady looked at me again and asked suspiciously:
"What's the matter with you?"
Everybody who knew I was going to sue would ask me what was going on, and I couldn't explain it to him for a while. Said:
"Auntie, that corrupt city leader knows that I want to sue and want to kill me, and now it's either him or me!"
The old lady groaned again and asked for a while:
"So what's the matter with me?"
This...........
I was stunned by this, my lips were dry when I said, and the witnesses who I had finally found were not found, if she refused to testify, it would not be the same as not being found.
I licked my lips, spun around in a hurry, and said:
"Auntie, the driver drove the night bus and drank, the car had an accident and threw a car of people to escape, and he has refused to admit his mistake, and now he can't say where to spend his time drinking, just because his uncle is the leader, there is no explanation for the life of this car, auntie!"
The old lady sighed lightly when she heard this, and slowly fell to the ground by holding on to the wall.
"At noon, I'm going to cook a noodle, will you eat it?"
My head was hot at this time, and the old lady didn't take in the salt water, but it was not her obligation to testify after all, and it seemed that she was still in a hurry, so I pondered for a long time with my hands on my waist, and said helplessly:
"Eat, cook me a bowl too!"
The old lady nodded, smiled and walked to the kitchen.
Although she didn't mean to cooperate for the time being, I was confident that I would convince her to continue talking after eating the noodles!
The old lady went to the kitchen to make a fire, and I followed, and the walls around the kitchen were blackened by the smoke of firewood for many years, and the old lady led the fire, sat in front of the stove, and unhurriedly folded the firewood and sent it to the stove.
I leaned against the kitchen door, and now the blood on my head had receded a lot, and the old lady looked back at me and said:
"If you're all right, go outside and get me some firewood!"
"Okay!" I answered, carrying the earthen basket and leaving the house.
This house is built at the bottom of the mountain, and there is a lot of firewood on the road that does not need to go up the mountain at all, so I follow the roadside and get carried away by it.
After a while, the basket was full, and when I straightened up, I was startled.
I just kept my head down and was busy, and then I walked back to the house where I had just met the old lady.
I remembered the human bones, and I couldn't help but tremble, and when I wanted to turn around and go back quickly, I couldn't help but glance at the chicken coop again, and found:
There's nothing on the ground, it's gone!!
