Chapter 12 Death Without Turning a Blind Eye
This sudden news was like a depth charge, and we were all a little confused.
When I came back to my senses, I found that the phone had been hung up, and only the busy sound of a beep was coming.
"Impossible, how could Lao Zhou die, what are you kidding." Ma Liang pursed his lips, his face full of disbelief.
I also don't think it's credible, how could Lao Zhou die in his hometown in Guizhou.
"By the way, did he say anything else?" Ma Liang asked suddenly.
I shook my head and said, "After he finished speaking, Lao Zhou died and hung up." ”
"Damn, who the hell is this guy, first pretending to be me, and then calling to say that Lao Zhou is dead, don't let me know who it is, otherwise I will skin him." Ma Liang was still scolding on the side, like a social person.
As I spoke, I dialed that number again, but unfortunately it was still the same as before, it was empty.
"What's the use of calling the past, people obviously use high technology, you can take it to the business hall and ask if you know." Ma Liang proposed.
After speaking, he muttered vigorously and said Tang Yu, you are really fucking back, not only is the ghost asking for your life, but now even people don't let you go, look at you Sven, I didn't expect to offend people everywhere.
I'm not in the mood to joke with him right now, my heart is as heavy as a stone.
Who the hell is calling, why is he doing this, and what is the benefit of doing it to him, just thinking about it makes my brain explode.
……
When I arrived at the mobile business hall, I didn't directly ask someone to help me check the number, and I made up a lie with the staff, saying that this number belonged to my friend, and asked her to help check why the number was always empty.
After the female staff checked, she looked at me with very puzzled eyes and said that this number had been cancelled for a long time.
I said no way, we were on the phone just now.
After that, I showed her my phone.
She checked it again and said that this number has indeed been cancelled for a long time, and it has been deactivated, and the reason why the other party can call may be that it uses some kind of software, which can be displayed as any number.
After saying that, she also kindly reminded me, saying that there are many liars now, and they have encountered them before, so let me be careful.
I forced a smile and said goodbye to her, saying that it was a joke my friend had made with me.
Before leaving, I asked who used this number before it was cancelled.
She looked at it and said that her surname was Zhou.
……
When I walked out of the business hall, I saw Ma Liang chatting with a beautiful woman in a long dress, and I didn't notice that I was coming out, pointing fingers at the beauty and talking to her.
At first, I thought he knew the beautiful woman, so I didn't go over.
As soon as the beautiful woman left, he stopped another woman in a skirt, and stood beside him in a strange posture as he spoke, glancing down from time to time, and laughing so obscenely that it was called.
I walked over curiously to take a look, Nima, this kid deliberately asked someone for directions, and then put a small mirror on the upper of his shoe, and his legs were stretched out at the feet of other girls.
Immediately made me angry, what kind of teammate is this Nima.
"I said can you get down to business!" I held my breath and waited for the beautiful woman to leave before scolding him.
When he was in the village he went to see the widow all day long, and now when he came out he set his sights on the women of the streets, how hungry and thirsty it was to do such a thing.
"You know a ball, it's called timely fun!" Ma Liang didn't feel ashamed at all, and whistled loudly.
I was speechless for a while, and people were shameless, what else could you do.
"I asked, this number has been cancelled for a long time, and the other party should have called with software, and nothing can be found. I don't know if Lao Zhou is in trouble. "I'm a little disappointed.
"I said you're stupid, you won't call Lao Zhou to ask?" Ma Liang pursed his lips and looked at me with an idiot's eyes.
I slapped my head and said yes, why didn't you remind me before.
"You didn't ask!" He shrugged his shoulders innocently.
I didn't bother to deal with this slut, so I quickly dialed Lao Zhou's phone.
His mother answered the phone, and she cried when she heard me ask Lao Zhou, and my heart throbbed.
"Well, I'll just say it's okay, right? Blind worry! Ma Liang took a cigarette in his mouth and smiled heartlessly.
"Lao Zhou is really dead!" I swallowed.
"I said you dude, this joke...... It's not funny! The corners of Ma Liang's mouth twitched, the muscles on his face kept beating, and he couldn't speak clearly.
"I said Lao Zhou is dead! It's really damned! I yelled at him with red eyes, and my stomach was full of nameless fire.
The cigarette in Ma Liang's mouth snapped on the ground......
……
Lai Pi Zhou's home is in a small corner of Guizhou called Zhoujiazhai.
Before I went, I went to the hospital to see my mother, but she was fine, smiling and chatting with my dad, and I don't know if my dad told her about the explosion in the house.
I didn't stay long, and after talking to them for a while, I said that I was going to Guizhou.
My father and mother were also very sad to know that Lai Pi Zhou was dead, so I asked them to put incense on the pillar when I went to comfort his mother more.
After more than 20 hours of training, we arrived in Guizhou.
After a casual bite to eat at the train station, I chartered a van and headed to Lai Pizhou's hometown.
The village where his family is located is really poor, with potholes and no asphalt roads along the way.
Maybe the two of us didn't look like people in the village, so the driver's eldest brother joked with us, saying that people in the city still know how to play and run to poor and remote places all day long.
I said no, I came to find someone.
I didn't expect me to say Lai Pi Zhou's name so casually, and the driver's brother also knew.
As soon as he heard that I was here to find Lai Pi Zhou, he immediately asked us if we had encountered something evil at home, and if so, he would go back and take care of it, Master Zhou had passed away.
Yo, this Lai Pi Zhou is quite famous! Master also Zhou.
I was curious, so I said that this week the master will only pick up bones? Listen to what you mean, he will also help people exorcise evil spirits?
"What? Didn't you look for Master Zhou to exorcise evil spirits? The master who was driving looked surprised and asked me.
I didn't say that I was a friend of Lai Pizhou, so I lied casually, saying no, there was an ancestor in my family who wanted to move the grave, and I wanted to ask him to help me, but I didn't expect him to pass away.
While saying this, my heart sank a little, and it seemed that Lai Pizhou had hidden a lot of things from me.
When I hit the ghost and asked him what to do, he said that he didn't know about these things, and that he would teach them all by Ma Liang.
Thinking of this, I looked at Ma Liang again, looked at him, and asked him what was going on.
He also looked confused, shook his head and made a lip gesture at me, saying that he didn't know either.
Even Ma Liang didn't know that Lai Pi Zhou would help people exorcise evil spirits? It's hidden deep enough, but why is he hiding it?
"That's right!" I looked at the master who was driving, "Big brother, do you know how Master Zhou passed away?" ”
I called Lai Pizhou before, but his mother answered the phone, and she was crying, and I didn't ask much.
As soon as I asked, the eldest brother sighed and said that it was all a sin!
He took out a pack of cigarettes, handed out two cigarettes with us, lit one by one, took two deep puffs before saying: "I heard that I jumped into the lake, and I died miserably, and I heard that when I was salvaged, the whole person was swollen into a ball, and I was scary." ”
Suicide!
Ma and I looked at each other and gasped.
Lai Pi Zhou actually committed suicide?
According to my previous guess, his wife cuckolded her, and he must have cleaned up his mother-in-law when he went back, and then his mother-in-law's mistress found out and Lai Pi Zhou, but he accidentally killed Lai Pi Zhou.
But the driver's eldest brother actually told me that Lai Pizhou committed suicide?
But after thinking about it, although Lai Pizhou hid the fact that he would exorcise evil spirits from me, he was still relatively honest and honest, and the reason why he concealed it should be something difficult.
The scandal of his livestock can indeed be devastating, especially in the village, and this kind of rumor can kill people.
Maybe it just came out today that Lai Pi Zhou's wife cuckolded him, and maybe tomorrow this rumor will turn out that Lai Pi Zhou's woman is a slut and seduces the men of the whole village, because Lai Pi Zhou is useless and incompetent.
Lai Pizhou should not have been able to bear the pressure in his heart, so he committed suicide.
Who knows that the driver's next sentence said: "However, many people are rumoring that Master Zhou was actually killed!" ”
"Killed?" I was speechless in astonishment.
The driver's eldest brother nodded, then looked nervously out of the car window, and lowered his voice: "I heard that he was killed!" ”
That's a bit mysterious!
Did I just say that there were no police to investigate? Did the police say it?
The driver's eldest brother said how could it be, and after the police came to investigate, he said that he had lost his foot and fell into the water.
The reason why Master Zhou was killed was because Master Zhou was blind to death.
"You don't believe it, when Master Zhou died, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't close his eyes when he tried to help him close them, and ah......"
Speaking of this, the driver's eldest brother paused, lit another cigarette and said, "Our custom here is that after a person dies, he will be kept at home for three days, and then carried up the mountain, but guess what? The four people couldn't lift the coffin, and later added four, which was eight sedan chairs, and they couldn't lift it, and the people in the village said that Master Zhou died unjustly and was resentful, so the coffin couldn't be lifted! ”
I glanced at Ma Liang and asked him if there was such a thing?
He nodded, and said that if a person died unjustly, the resentment was too heavy to carry the coffin, and if the corpse was forcibly buried, the whole family would be harmed, and the whole village would suffer.
"This little brother, you also know this?" When the driver's eldest brother heard this, he immediately looked at Ma Liang.
Ma Liang surprisingly didn't talk much nonsense this time, just nodded.
……
When we were sent to the village, the driver said that he couldn't go in, and he was going to the county town to wait to see if there were any guests.
Before leaving, he politely said that his family lives in the village, and let us go to his house for dinner if we have time.
After saying goodbye to the driver, I raised my feet and was about to leave Lai Pi Zhou's house, but I found Ma Liang standing stunned, looking at the big banyan tree in front of me in a daze.
I shook my hand in front of him, and said let's go, what are you doing.
"Did you see the big banyan tree?" He gestured ahead.
Didn't I say this nonsense? As long as you are not blind, you can see.
This banyan tree is very thick, it is estimated that it will take five or six people to surround it, and I don't know how long it has lived.
There are a lot of fruit cakes under the banyan tree, and there are two large incense burners, some old people kneel in front of the tree to burn incense and pray, the thick trunk is tied with red ropes, and red envelopes are hung on the red ropes, which are used by people to make wishes.
I said this banyan tree is nothing special.
"Don't you see the old cow standing next to the banyan tree?" Ma Liang asked again.
I said I saw it.
There was indeed an old cow tethered next to the banyan tree. But what's the point here.
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the old cow kneel down with a pop......
