Chapter 444: Infatuated Summer Xiang
Xia Xiang's father welcomed us into the main room very warmly, but when we were in the courtyard, Sister Yixin stretched out her hand and pointed to a house on the east side, which I understand, she meant that the corpse she felt before was in the room on the east side.
"You two are Shoko's teachers? Or classmates? "After Xia Xiang's father invited us to sit down, he couldn't wait to ask.
"Big brother, don't beat around the bush, this young man should be all the way with me, his female companion...... Otherwise, you'd better be serious. The ugly second uncle interrupted his eldest brother's words and motioned for him to go straight to the dry goods. In the eyes of ordinary people, it may be a little rude, but I think this second uncle is very cute, straightforward, not neat, although it is a little gloomy, but he is a cheerful person.
"Alas, I see." Xia Xiang's father nodded again and again, this is an honest mountain man, and he feels a little submissive. "That, you are friends with Shoko, I won't talk about the mess, Shoko has some trouble now, I hope you can help me persuade him, these days, but we old guys are worried, no matter what he says, he doesn't listen, he squats in the east house all day long, and this kid is not careful, he was seen when he came back in the middle of the night, and now the whole village is spreading the gossip of our family, and it is like seeing us as if we have seen the plague god." I promised the second uncle to do it, but this old man is still not good at talking, and he said something without a head or tail, which made me frown.
The second uncle on the side really couldn't listen to it anymore, and waved his hand to signal his eldest brother to stop talking, "Let's say it, as soon as my eldest brother is nervous, he will say that it is not good." Shoko raised a female corpse. ”
This second uncle is really neat, but Lisuo's is also a bit excessive, there is no cause and effect, and the first sentence is that Xia Xiang raised a female corpse.
Later, under the narration of the second uncle, I finally figured out why Xia Xiang wanted to raise a female corpse. Speaking of which, Xia Xiang's child is not very handsome, but he has a good character, a good heart, and a relatively gentle temperament, and he is still very pleasing to girls, there is no school in their village, and he has to go to Baizhen, which is more than ten miles away from the village, I don't know how, he got along with a girl in the class.
It is said that the girl is still the class flower in their class, and Xia Xiang has such a good fortune that many people are very jealous. The children in the countryside are all in their third year of high school when they get married, and if they are admitted to college, they may not be what will happen in the future, so Xia Xiang discussed with his father whether he could go to Banhua Zhang Meixiang's house early to settle this matter, and he would be at ease.
If a kid in the city who was about to take the exam in his third year of high school said this, he would definitely be beaten, but this small place is different. Zhang Meixiang has been to the Xia family a few times, she is a very sensible girl, she speaks and does things very decently, and the two elders of the Xia family also like this girl, so Xia Xiang's father took his son to Zhang Meixiang's house in the town to propose marriage.
The Zhang family also knew about the children's affairs, and they also liked Xia Xiang, an honest child, so they agreed to this family business. So the parents of both sides discussed the bride price, and the matter was settled. At that time, the matter of the Zhou family had just been resolved, Xiao Dong sent 100,000 yuan to Xia Xiang according to the agreement, and the Xia family directly gave all the money to the Zhang family as a dowry, and proposed that the Zhang family did not need to prepare a dowry or anything, they just wanted Zhang Meixiang. The two families are harmonious, and the relationship between the two children is good, which is a good thing, but no one expected that on the seventh day of marriage, something happened.
It was a rest day, and Xia Xiang and Zhang Meixiang went out to play together. There is a reservoir on the edge of Baizhen, although it is winter, the scenery is still good, and there is a spring under the reservoir, the water quality is clear and sweet, many people like to go to the reservoir to play, and this little couple went to the reservoir. Originally, she was sitting on the edge of the reservoir and talking about love, but somehow, the girl fell down, and she didn't even bubble after falling. Xia Xiang hurriedly jumped down to save people, but after looking for a long time after getting to the water, he didn't find Zhang Meixiang.
It stands to reason that if this person fell into the water, he would definitely flutter, and even if he could not swim, he would not be able to drown immediately. At that time, many people on the edge of the reservoir would see the scene of Zhang Meixiang falling into the water, some people helped to go into the water to find it, and some people called the police, but the police came to help organize people to search for a full afternoon, and did not find any clues.
When the police went to inform Zhang Meixiang's family, Zhang Meixiang's family was about to call the police, and the reason for calling the police was that they found Zhang Meixiang dead in the bucket of water stored at home.
At that time, everyone thought that this matter was too strange, but no one could say why, when Zhang Meixiang fell, a couple happened to pass by them, and the couple was very sure that no one pushed Zhang Meixiang at all, she fell by herself.
And the Zhang family also said that their daughter could never drown, there is nothing to play in the town, she likes to run to the reservoir to swim since she was a child, the water is very good, because she has white skin, so the friends call her the white stripe in the waves with the nickname of Liangshan hero. Not to mention falling into the water, once when Zhang Meixiang was playing in the reservoir, she was entangled in the sink, and she stayed underwater for five or six minutes before she came out, still jumping around. The chances of her drowning are extremely unlikely.
And then the forensic doctor conducted a preliminary autopsy on the corpse and also showed that Zhang Meixiang did not die of drowning, but died of cardiac arrest, but what people can't figure out is why Zhang Meixiang's body appeared in their own bucket, their home is located on the edge of the main road in the town, which belongs to a more prosperous area, and people nearby said that they didn't see Zhang Meixiang herself or be carried back by anyone at all. Later, the police determined that Zhang Meixiang wanted to make a little joke with her lover Xia Xiang, relying on her superb water nature, after falling into the water, she went ashore in another place where Xia Xiang couldn't see, and then went home from the trail and entered through the back door, so no one found out, and then when she was about to boil water or wash clothes, she suddenly died of a heart attack, and her body fell into a large bucket for water storage.
For the police's inference, the people of the Zhang family accepted it, although they also thought it was very bizarre, but their daughter, who was very watery, did not even have a chance to bubble as soon as she entered the water, which was absolutely impossible, and the explanation given by the police may be the only explanation that can make sense. And after Xia Xiang got the news of Zhang Meixiang's death, the whole person collapsed.
The rule here is to stop the spirit for seven days first, and then bury, in the seven days of the spirit, Xia Xiang will stay next to Zhang Meixiang's coffin every day, and from time to time he will secretly open the coffin to see if the ice used for refrigeration under the corpse needs to be replaced. The Zhang family also knew that it was no wonder that Xia Xiang was in this matter, on the contrary, he was very moved by his actions, although the Zhang family was very sad, they still offered to return all the 100,000 yuan of bride price to Xia Xiang, but Xia Xiang didn't want to live or die, he said that whether he lived or died, the bride price was given to Mei Xiang, and she didn't use it when she was alive, so she used it at the funeral, and the corpse was embalmed with ice cubes, which was also proposed by Xia Xiang, and he always hoped to see the girl more.
Xia Xiang's second uncle said this, and let out a long sigh, "Originally, it was nothing for him to do this, I still supported him, I can have a woman who loves each other for the rest of my life, and spend some money for her, it's nothing." But I didn't expect it, this kid proposed to add ice cubes to the coffin to embalming, it's not that simple. On the night of Zhang Meixiang's burial, he went to dig up Zhang Meixiang's grave and drove the corpse back with the method I taught him, and then used the method I taught him to curse and embalm the corpse, and locked himself up with the corpse all day long. Talking to the corpse and feeding the female corpse with his own blood. ”
The second uncle pursed his lips and continued: "Alas, yesterday was Mei Xiang's Erqi, the Zhang family found that the body was missing, so they came to the door, and we didn't want to hide it anymore, so we took them to see it, but as soon as they entered the house, the Zhang family was scared silly, Mei Xiang's body stood in front of the mirror, and Xiangzi combed her hair in the back, Xiangzi's face at that time was more like a dead person than Mei Xiang. When he saw us entering, he hugged Mei Xiang's body and cried and begged us not to take Mei Xiang away, not to bury Mei Xiang, he wanted to stay with Mei Xiang for the rest of his life. At that time, we and the Zhang family didn't know what to do, we could only keep our mouths shut and make amends, saying that we would discipline the child well, but the child held Mei Xiang's body and refused to let go, the Zhang family was angry at first, but when they saw Xiangzi's look of dying and living for Mei Xiang, they also relented, and did not take Mei Xiang away immediately, saying that they would go back to discuss and see what to do about it. Mei Xiang's father just called me just now, saying that they discussed that if it really didn't work, they would marry these two children, as long as Xiangzi could think of Mei Xiang and take good care of her body...... And they did. ”
Different from traditional tragedies like Romeo and Juliet, Zhang Meixiang's family can be regarded as extremely enlightened, of course, this is also related to Xia Xiang's spirit of being together regardless of life or death, it is indeed quite touching, but if the living and the dead are together for too long...... I scratched my back involuntarily, it was really a little unbearable to look back, at that time, the corpse poison on my body made me really dead and alive, if it wasn't for the blind man who found it early, I might not have survived now.
"That's it, uncle, you take us to meet Xia Xiang, I will find a way to persuade him, after all, I am also a person who has come over, and it may be better to talk to him about this." When I said "who came over", I saw the corners of Sister Yixin's mouth twitch, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she still didn't say it. Sympathy, maybe I'm the most suitable person to persuade Xia Xiang.
