Chapter 158: The Contents of the Firewood Stack
Cai Dani watched Cai Jun staring at her family's firewood stacks in a daze, walked over quickly, and just moved her gaze, she was directly frightened and screamed and squatted on the ground.
"Dani."
Cai Jun hurriedly ran over and hugged Dani's shoulders to comfort him.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's a cow's bone, it's okay."
Although Cai Jun said this, he looked at the cow skull, and he was secretly stunned in his heart, and began to wonder in his heart, how could there be such a thing in his firewood stack.
Dani slowly became not afraid, stood up and followed Cai Jun over.
Cai Jun took a piece of firewood and stabbed the cow skull, but he didn't expect it to be quite heavy, so he didn't move.
What's going on, it can't be so heavy, it can't be poked.
Cai Jun secretly summed up in his heart, and increased the strength of his injury, but he still didn't move.
"Dani, you wait outside and don't move."
Cai Jun threw aside the firewood in his hand, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the cow skull, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Cai Jun, slow down."
Cai Dani behind him looked at him with a worried face, and nervously followed him to slowly lower her body and hold her breath.
Cai Jun's heart was beating wildly at this time, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, he rubbed his hands, looked at this cow skull, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, bent down and hugged it.
I thought I could pick it up, but I didn't expect it to be dragged over, Cai Jun scratched his head, staring curiously at the cow skull, only to find that there was a pile of stones inside, all of which were different in size and shape.
Who is so bored, put this thing on the firewood stack and put a stone to press it.
Cai Jun scolded secretly, then squatted down, used more strength, gritted his teeth to pick up the cow skull, and moved hard towards the outside of the firewood stack.
"Slow down, slow down......"
Cai Dani clenched her fists and followed Cai Jun secretly.
Seeing that he was about to be brought out, he tripped over Chai He inadvertently, and suddenly his center of gravity was unstable and he pounced out, and the cow skull also took off his hand and flew out.
Cai Jun was held by Cai Dani so that he didn't fall to the ground, but the cow skull was not so lucky, it flew out far away, fell heavily on the ground, and the outside was cracked, and the stones inside were scattered all over the ground.
"Hurry up and clean up here, I don't know who is so full and threw this thing into my firewood pile."
Saying that, Cai Jun raised his leg and kicked it, and the cow skull flew directly to the opposite wall, hitting it even more severely, if Cai Dani hadn't picked up the stones with his hands, he would have been ready to kick a few times.
"This stone is so beautiful and colorful."
Cai Jun held a pile of stones, threw them in the palm of his hand, and laughed while watching.
Cai Jun was attracted to the past, he was originally very curious, squatted down and took a closer look, it was really some beautiful stones, like stained glass, very beautiful.
"Take it home if you like it."
Seeing that Cai Dani liked it so much, Cai Jun found a bag, packed all the stones, and carried them to the doorway of Cai Dani's house, and the two of them continued to hold firewood and burn the kang.
In the evening, Lao Geng's house still had something to do, Cai Baoman and Chen Lianhua came back, but they hurriedly went out again, Cai Jun and Cai Dani found a big basin, filled it with water, and then poured the stones in the bag into it.
"Go find a brush, and we'll brush the stones clean and put them in a glass jar."
Cai Jun held a stone in one hand, although the color was beautiful, but the mud and sand on it were too thick, so he had to clean it up, otherwise it would not look good in a bottle.
Cai Dani ran out, ran in with a shoe brush, and looked at Cai Jun's serious brush, she also stopped it, Cai Jun brushed it for the first time, she picked it up and washed it the second time.
The two of them tossed for an hour to wash all these stones, and when they were sticking to the soil, they were all of a good color, and after washing, they were even more crystal clear, and they were placed in glass bottles, like colorful clouds.
"Wow, that's pretty."
Cai Dani touched the bottle, her eyes looked at the stone inside, and she couldn't put it down.
"Put it in your house, and wait until tomorrow daylight, I will accompany you to the mountains to pick mountain flowers and put them in a bottle, it will look better."
"Really?"
Cai Jun nodded, turned around and began to clean up the muddy basin on the ground, Cai Dani ran over excitedly, lost her strength at once, and directly hit Cai Jun into the muddy basin, and a deep layer of mud in it just pasted on Cai Jun's face and mouth.
"Poof......
Cai Jun struggled to get up, hurriedly ran outside, scooped a sip of cold water and began to rinse his mouth, and Cai Dani next to him smiled backwards.
Cai Jun felt that there was no more mud and sand in his mouth, turned to look at Cai Dani, and gave him a blank look.
"I'm sorry, I was so excited just now, I couldn't control it for a while, and I didn't expect you to lie in, quickly find a piece of clothing to change, don't catch a cold, your body is still weak."
Standing at the door, the wind was not strong, but it was soaking wet, and it was cold to the bones at all, Cai Jun didn't delay much, went back to his house to change his dry clothes and came out, continued to clean up the basin, and specially warned Cai Dani not to mess around.
Cai Dani stuck out her tongue at Cai Jun, went back to the house with the bottle, found a beautiful little flower cloth and tied a bow, carefully placed it next to the homework book, looked at the dripping water on it, wiped it gently, and smiled from ear to ear.
"Dani, come out to dinner."
Listening to Cai Jun calling herself, Cai Dani reluctantly watched the bottle walk out.
"In the future, it will be yours, no one will move, look at you like that, who is robbing you."
Cai Dani was not convinced, and glared at Cheng Xiaodong with a pout, but she didn't say anything, and ate peacefully.
The two of them did their homework until more than eleven o'clock, when they heard the sound of the door closing, thinking that Cai Baoman and Chen Lianhua were back, so they hurriedly went out with the oil lamp to greet them.
"Have you eaten?"
Chen Lianhua looked at the two of them with a tired face, and when she saw the two of them nodding, Chen Lianhua didn't say much, she washed her face and fell asleep directly on the kang, looking tired.
Cai Dani ran over with the bottle in her arms, and when she saw Chen Lianhua sleeping, she went back with a disappointed face.
Cai Baoman saw the bottle in his daughter's hand, walked over and hugged Cai Dani together, looked at the bottle in her arms and praised it for being good-looking, and Cai Dani laughed again and again.
Every time Cai Jun saw them like this, he didn't feel good in his heart, he went back to the room alone, crying secretly, he knew that they didn't mean to, he missed his parents too much, and when he saw such a scene, he would inevitably feel emotional.
I don't know if you're doing well over there, whether you're full or not.
Cai Jun looked at the yard of his house, thinking about his parents, he was taken care of very well here, so he didn't have to worry about it.
There is a saying in the village that death is not the next month, Lao Gengtou died on the 29th, and there is no 31st this month, there is no way to stop at home for three days, and the next morning is the day of the funeral.
Cai Jun and Cai Dani were both called, this is the custom of Zhifu Village, all funerals, people over the age of ten must participate, in order to express the final send-off to the deceased in the village.
Walking in the middle of the crowd, holding incense in his hand, Cai Jun was in a trance, the sound of drums, crying, carriages, horses, cows, and people, every scene was the same as the day of his parents' funeral, and in an instant, the whole person seemed to return to that time.
Cai Dani looked at Cai Jun's face was wrong, and touched him with her elbow, Cai Jun turned his face sideways to look at Cai Dani's worried eyes, and couldn't help but smile and make an expression that he was fine.
"Go west, don't look back, climb the ladder, go to heaven."
The village chief shouted angrily, this is the last step in the incineration of the chariots, horses, cattle and people, and after burning, the soil can be buried directly.
vividly remembered, as if the people lying in this coffin were his parents, and Cai Jun wanted to cry out and kneel in front of the coffin several times.
After working for half an hour, the grave bag finally appeared, and Cai Jun's chaotic mind was stabilized.
Cai Baoman walked over and touched Cheng Xiaodong's head, knowing that he was in a bad mood, he squatted down and looked at Cheng Xiaodong with a light smile, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him a thumbs up.
"Uncle, I'm fine, people can't be resurrected after death, I know that I will take care of myself so as not to worry them."
Cai Jun understood what Cai Jianguo meant, gave him a thumbs up, glanced at the new grave not far away, and walked over to grab a handful of soil and added it.
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa Geng is here to be your companion, I don't know if you are okay over there, I'm fine, Uncle and Aunt are doing their best to take care of me, don't worry about me."
To put it simply, Cai Jun's sense of depression suddenly decreased a lot, smiled at his parents' graves, and followed Cai Baoman home.
When Cai Dani returned home, she went back to her room, looked at the glass bottle and breathed a sigh of relief, holding the bottle and turning around beautifully.
"Something happened!"
Cai Baoman started watering vegetables in the vegetable garden, and he heard Chen Lianhua shouting outside the gate, and Cai Jun heard it and ran out.
Watching Cai Jianguo run out, Cai Jun and Cai Dani also went out to watch the excitement.
"Isn't this an accounting brother, why are you lying here?"
Cai Baoman saw Accountant Liu at the door of Cai Jun's house, and hurriedly ran over, and he didn't know how he was lying here, and he couldn't move for a while.
"I just came out to get firewood, and I saw a person lying at the door of Dongzi's house, and when I got closer, it was the accounting brother, covering his chest with a painful face, and when I went back to call you out, he fainted."
Chen Lianhua was standing next to her, also in a hurry, not knowing what was going on.
"Look at this dress, it should have just come back from the north slope, why don't you go home, you will fall here, and his family doesn't live here."
Cai Baoman looked at Accountant Liu's black clothes, and began to guess, asking Chen Lianhua to bring a fan, fan him to shade him, and go to the neighboring village to find Zhang Lao.
When he came back again, he heard that the village chief of Xin'er also happened to come over, and Zhang Lao didn't even look at the village chief, so he walked directly towards Accountant Liu.
"The rush has passed, it's okay, move him to a cooler place, wipe his face with cold water, and it won't be long for a while."
Zhang Lao glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on Cai Baoman.
"It's close, carry it to the shed in front of Dongzi's house, and find something to put under your body."
Zhang Lao stood up, watched Cai Baoman and Chen Lianhua and they began to work together, left a pill for himself and left.
Everyone knows that with the death of Cai Jun's parents, Zhang Lao felt guilty in his heart, and he never dared to enter his yard, let alone talk to Cai Jun more, so everyone looked at his back and didn't keep much.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
After taking the medicine for about twenty minutes, Accountant Liu opened his eyes, looked at Cai Baoman and Chen Lianhua, frowned, and suddenly sat up and cried.
The village chief next to him looked at Accountant Liu's crazy appearance, hurried over, looked at him and asked what was going on.
Accountant Liu looked at the village chief and calmed down for three seconds, crying even more tragically, this cry, even if the old Gengtou passed away, he never heard such a tragic cry, and it was not nice to describe it, just like his father died.
"What's the matter, what can't you say well, as a village cadre, what kind of system is it to go crazy like this!"
It was useless to persuade the village chief to persuade him, so he stood up directly, pointed at Accountant Liu and began to scold.
No matter what others asked, no matter how the village chief scolded, this Accountant Liu still cried on the ground as if he couldn't hear it.
Cai Jun and Cai Dani stood at the door, looking at Accountant Liu, the two looked at each other, Cai Dani walked to Cai Jun's side, leaned on his shoulder and whispered: "It's a shame that such a big person still cries like this." ”
Cai Jun didn't think so, he looked at Accountant Liu, thinking that something must have happened, his father told him that even if he is an adult, he will cry when he encounters a big event that he can't bear, isn't this Accountant Liu like this now.
Accountant Liu got up, walked to the door, stared at Cai Jun's firewood stack, and got into it all of a sudden, as if he was crazy, and began to drag the whole bundle of firewood down.
"Alas, what are you doing here, don't go crazy and drag firewood, look at this place."
The village chief walked in and pulled Accountant Liu, but was unexpectedly thrown aside by Accountant Liu.
Cai Jun looked at him looking through the stacks of firewood, as if he was frantically looking for a cabinet when he threw something away, and suddenly understood something, and the skull and stone flashed in his mind.
"Uncle Liu, there is nothing in my firewood stack, even if you turn it over, you won't find anything."
Cai Jun's words made Accountant Liu stop, and turned his head towards Cai Jun suddenly, his eyes were fierce and abnormal, so frightened that Cai Jun shrank his neck and hid directly behind Cai Baoman.
"It has to be you, it's not it, it's got to be you!"
Accountant Liu rushed towards Cai Jun, but fortunately, the village chief was still Cai Baoman, and Accountant Liu was pressed to the ground and kept struggling.
"What's crazy with the child, the army is good, don't be scared again."
The village chief pressed Accountant Liu to the ground and pressed the knee of his right leg against his body.
"Liu Dong, I warn you, this is the door of Cai Jun's house, if you dare to mess around, you see that I won't beat you!"
Chen Lianhua protected Cai Jun behind her, pointed at Accountant Liu and gritted her teeth and said, although the relationship is not bad on weekdays, but when he sees him rushing towards Cai Jun with red eyes now, Cai Bao's anger goes directly to his chest, and he doesn't care so much.
Accountant Liu kept struggling on the ground, and Chen Lianhua also took out a piece of wood from the yard and looked at Accountant Liu, holding the wooden stick tightly with both hands.
