Chapter 110: The Viper in the Shadows
After eating, I took advantage of the fact that there was still a little light in the sky, so I brought some fruits from home and rushed to Uncle Chen Jiu's house.
Chen Jiu is of the same generation as my grandfather, a little older, in his eighties; In the past, medical care was not developed, and people of this age were no longer more than ten fingers in Hongcun.
He had a full house of children and grandchildren, but he did not live with them, but lived alone in an old house under a large grapefruit tree on the west side of the village; He was eating when I went.
"Uncle Nine."
When I got to the door, I shouted.
When Chen Jiu heard the shout, he slowly raised his head, his somewhat cloudy eyes narrowed for a while before he could see me clearly, and said with a kind smile: "Oh, it's Chunwa, come in and sit, have you eaten?" ”
"I've eaten it."
I said as I walked in, put the fruit on his tea shelf, sat down at the table, and said with a smile: "Uncle Jiu, I came to ask you something." ”
"Oh, yes, you say." When Uncle Chen Jiu heard this, he happily put down his rice bowl and nodded.
"In the Cultural Revolution before, have you ever heard of the Red Guard King Kong?" I got straight to the point.
"Red Guard...... What's just that? "Old Uncle Chen Jiu's eyes and ears are already a little difficult to use.
"Five King Kongs." I raised my voice a little and repeated.
"Oh, Red Guard King Kong." Old Uncle Chen Jiu thought about it carefully and nodded: "It seems to have a little impression." ”
I immediately came to my senses and said hurriedly, "Can you remember who they are?" ”
"Hiss......" Old Uncle Chen Jiu pondered for a long time and said, "When you are old, your memory is not good, it seems to be ...... Chen Jiutong is that child. ”
"Who else but Uncle Jiu?" My heart jumped to my throat all of a sudden, he remembered correctly, Chen Jiutong was indeed one of them.
But after a long time, Uncle Chen Jiu didn't remember who the rest of the people were, so he turned around and asked me: "Chunwa, so many years have passed since the Cultural Revolution, are you in a hurry to ask this?" ”
I looked at Uncle Chen Jiu's meditative appearance, and I couldn't bear it, so I said, "Uh...... It's not too rushed. ”
After a pause, I really didn't want to persecute an old man who already had a memory loss, so I forcibly suppressed the anxiety in my heart and said: "Uncle Nine, otherwise, you can help me think about who the Red Guard Five King Kong is tonight, don't worry, I'll come to you tomorrow, do you think about it?" ”
Uncle Chen Jiu nodded when he heard this: "Oh, you can, you can come tomorrow, and Uncle will help you think about it." ”
I was overjoyed, so I bowed to Uncle Chen Jiu, and before parting, he praised me, saying that the Hong family was plagued by Gao Mingchang, and I took the lead in confronting them, and if I did the right thing, a man should hoe the strong and help the weak. He also said that there are not many babies like me now, and to be a human being, justice should be served, and there should be no bones.
I smiled bitterly and nodded, saying in my heart that I didn't know that so many strange things would happen later, if I knew, let alone going to Hong's house, I would rather beg for food in the city than go back to the village!
Just kidding, you can try it, those tricks can scare you to death if they don't kill you.
After that, I said goodbye to Uncle Nine and drove home.
I basically didn't sleep this night, and thinking about everything before, I felt more and more intuitive, there was definitely someone I was looking for in the Red Guardian King Kong.
Although there is no direct evidence, the intuition is exceptionally clear.
In addition, Uncle Chen Jiu recalled that Hong Qingsheng was one of the Red Guard Five King Kongs, which made me feel a great increase in hope.
Big fish, maybe tomorrow will come to the surface.
Hong Qingsheng, Chen Jiutong, the driving force behind the scenes, and the person lurking in Hongcun......
I always thought that the person wearing moire cloth shoes should be from another village, but this time it can be basically determined, it is Hongcun people, and the Red Guards are all based on the village, and those who ran to Lengshui Cave are most likely Hongcun people, and Hong Qingsheng and Chen Jiutong are still inside.
At the same time, I also thought, did the five of them encounter something inside, which is why there are so many strange things today?
Did they go into the dungeon?
Thinking like this, I was half excited, half cranky, and didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.
I didn't even hear the colorful eagle chirping the next day, so I overslept.
I didn't wake up until breakfast time, but before I got up, I suddenly heard Peng Peng, whose door was smashed, and an anxious voice came: "Brother Chun, Brother Chun, it's not good, something happened!" ”
As soon as I heard this voice, my heart twitched.
Ma Jialiang!
This guy grinds tofu at night, and his eggs hurt during the day, and he can't hide anything from him in the village, and every time something happens in the village, he comes to me with a roar, and he is about to become a professional mourner.
And listening to his voice is certainly not a good thing.
I hurriedly opened the door of the store, and as soon as Ma Jialiang saw me, he yelled, "Brother Chun, something happened." ”
"I know, you're about to say, what's wrong."
"Uncle Chen Jiu hanged himself last night!"
"What?!"
As soon as I heard this, it was as if a bomb had been thrown into my head, and my whole mind was blown blank.
Uncle Chen Jiu is dead?
Still hanged himself?
No way, I'm going to reject it.
Uncle Chen Jiu's children and grandchildren are full, and his children are still filial, this is the age of family, how can he hang himself and seek death?!
And it happened right after I went to see him last night!
It's murder!
The man in the village made a move, and he knew that I was spying on him, so he killed Uncle Chen Jiu!
It must be so!!
"Bastard!"
I gritted my teeth, clenched my fists at once, and roared in my heart: Holy shit, don't let me catch you, otherwise I won't let you go!!
Indiscriminate killing of innocents!
For a moment, I was shocked, angry and guilty!
It was I who killed Uncle Chen Jiu, he is eighty years old, and he should have enjoyed the good end of his life, but now he ended up with a bad death!
"Brother Chun, are you okay?" Ma Jialiang noticed that something was wrong with me, so he hurriedly asked.
I was about to go crazy, gritted my teeth and said, "Quick, go and see." ”
Then Ma Jialiang and I went straight to Uncle Chen Jiu's house, and when we went, there were already some people nearby, and Uncle Chen Jiu's son and daughter-in-law were kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly.
And Uncle Chen Jiu was hung from the big grapefruit tree in front of the house by a hemp rope, and his thin body exuded an indescribable desolation.
My eyes turned red all of a sudden, just last night, this kind old man was still teaching me to be a man, saying that men should have bones, hoe the strong and help the weak, and say that it was right to help the Hong family fight, and it was a man.
But in just one night, the old man suddenly went......
At this moment, I have never blamed myself so much, Miao Miao and the leather clothes kept reminding me that they wanted me to investigate secretly and not to startle the snake, but I couldn't help it, and when I came back, I hurried to Uncle Chen Jiu's house.
Just such a small flaw was discovered by the person lurking in the village, and he did not hesitate to kill people!
So ruthless, so decisive, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark!
Deep self-blame made me turn my head and leave, I didn't dare to look at Uncle Chen Jiu's appearance, I was afraid that I would see a pair of dead eyes.
After returning to the store, I immediately called Miao Miao and told me about Uncle Chen Jiu.
Miao Miao comforted me when she heard this: "Ah Chun, don't blame yourself too much, the robbery in Hong Village belongs to everyone in Hong Village, and Uncle Chen Jiu is the price of the robbery, you are now helping the whole village to solve that robbery, I believe that his old man's spirit in the sky will not blame you." ”
As soon as I heard this, I finally felt a little more comfortable and asked what to do next.
Miao Miao said directly: "Don't check it for the time being, I'll talk about it later." ”
"Why?"
I stopped doing it as soon as I heard it, I thought that Miao Miao should give me a move, but I didn't expect her to ask me not to check, how did I swallow the breath in my heart, Uncle Chen Jiu died in vain?
"Ah Chun, listen to me." Miao Miao heard my restlessness and hurriedly persuaded: "With that person's ability, he is fully capable of getting rid of Uncle Chen's 'reasonable', and it will not arouse suspicion at all, but he didn't, but chose the most unbelievable hanging, do you know what this means?" ”
I was stunned and asked, "What does it mean?" ”
"He's demonstrating to you!"
Miao Miao accentuated her tone and said: "In other words, if you check again, there will be another death, he won't stop, and it's not difficult to do it according to his ability, even you yourself are in danger!" ”
“……”
When I heard this, my heart was half cold.
