Chapter 9: Something Happened Again
"According to what you say, isn't my life also a lone word?"
"This ......" The cow madman obviously didn't expect me to slap him like this, a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and laughed a few times in embarrassment, "Don't say it, it's true." A leaf is blind, and you can't see Mount Tai! Let's go, the mandate of heaven is like this, the mandate of heaven is like this. ”
As he spoke, he was about to lie down, but when he glanced at the yellow talisman that had been pasted around the room, he suddenly showed a painful expression, jumped up all of a sudden, pulled me over, picked up his big hand and slapped it down on my ass.
"Stinky boy, this is a spirit talisman that I have been offering for many years, and you made it all for me overnight? Are you going to rebel? ”
The days went on like this for a few more days, and I was happy for a few days, and the cow madman finally agreed to teach me Taoism.
In the past few days, a wave of police has come to the village, and Old Man Li's family felt that things were not so simple, thinking that I had killed him, so they called the police again.
After the police came, they asked me for questioning, and they were busy collecting evidence and taking pictures, and in the end they didn't say anything about it.
The cow madman is the same as before, except for lying down or going out to steal chickens and fish, nothing serious.
After a week like this, the "they" in the mouth of the person who was talking to the cow madman that night did not appear, but something happened to Xiaolonghe.
At noon that day, the cow madman was lying on the ground muttering what to eat at night, I was sitting next to him reading the Tao Te Ching, and the door of the broken temple was suddenly pushed open with a "bang".
A panting voice shouted, "Cow madman, go and see, something is going on on the side of the Xiaolong River!" ”
When I heard that something happened to Xiaolonghe, the whole person jumped up like a spring, and asked loudly: "What's wrong?" What's wrong with Xiaolonghe? ”
The person who came was Lu Jinguo, the head of our village, who glanced at me who was in a hurry and panicked, and then at the cow madman who was lying there motionless like a mountain, and was speechless for a while.
"What's the panic?" The cow madman glanced at him, stood up unhurriedly, and grabbed his hair with his hand like a dung fork and combed it, looking extremely calm.
He was so calm, I couldn't do it, and asked Lu Jinguo anxiously: "What happened?" ”
Lu Jinguo ignored me, walked straight to the cow madman, stomped his feet, and said eagerly: "Old cow, die...... Dead man, go over and take a look. ”
The cow madman grabbed the water ladle and scooped a scoop of water into the water tank in a hurry, and poured it down with a clatter, so he said without hurrying: "Shouldn't the dead person go to the police?" What's the use of you looking for me? ”
"You...... I don't know, this man ...... Die...... Died a wicked death. Lu Jinguo was about to cry in a hurry, shivered suddenly, and squeaked and said, "Actually, it's been several times, but there were no dead people in the previous few times, so I didn't come to disturb your old man!" ”
"Hmph, something happened, so you remembered me?"
I'm confused, what the hell is going on?
I just heard that there are big leaders above who have fallen in love with Xiaolonghe and want to engage in tourism development and turn Xiaolonghe into a wetland park, which is a good thing, which can not only increase the income of the villagers, but also improve the local popularity.
I also heard that a construction team was stationed half a month ago, and I don't know why there has been no movement in the past few days.
Could it be, what's wrong with this?
The cow madman snorted coldly: "I told you at the beginning that building a park is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but you can't move the embankment, you want to widen it, okay, you have expanded it over there, why do you have to dig the embankment?" Now that someone is dead, I can't control it. ”
Listening to what the cow madman said was full of resentment, Lu Jinguo had a remorseful and resentful expression: "Old Niu, how to build this park, there is a plan on it, and it's not up to me to have the final say!" ”
"Don't talk to me uselessly, who doesn't know that you have contracted this project to your relatives, there is a ration field over there, and a large amount of compensation will be paid to build a park, which is time-consuming and laborious and makes little money, no one takes care of the embankment here, just dig it flat!"
Lu Jinguo was robbed by the cow madman, his face was white and red for a while, and finally he held back a look of remorse, and begged: "Niu Shenxian, this person's life is at stake, you can't ignore it." ”
I know very well that the bull madman is a person, although what he says is quite relieving, he will still take care of this matter nine times out of ten.
Sure enough, he glanced at Lu Jinguo, beckoned to me again, motioned for me to follow him, and walked slowly towards the outside of the house.
On the way, I asked Lu Jinguo: "What happened to Xiaolonghe?" ”
Lu Jinguo looked at me, and then at the cow madman, as if to say to me, but in fact, he said to the cow maniac: "This river embankment has been built for 50 years, right?" There has been no water in these years, and no one has been taking care of it, and it looks tattered. But this dilapidated embankment could not be pushed by a bulldozer, and in the end there was no choice but to blow it up with explosives, and it took five times in a row to blow it up. ”
"Originally, this was blown up, the bulldozer went in and pushed, tamped, poured concrete, built a few pavilions, put a few stone tables and stone benches, and planted some flowers and plants, and it was over, to be honest, it was not a big project. But as soon as the bulldozer pushed a few meters, it found red water gushing out of the ground, and the red water was fishy and smelly, and it was clearly blood. ”
"This is not the end, as soon as the construction started, people kept getting injured, either they were crushed by a bulldozer, or someone fell into a pit out of thin air and broke their legs, and then someone fell into the river for no reason, not only that, the old Xu Tou who watched the construction site at night, even saw a ghost in the middle of the night......
"Oh? What kind of ghost is it? When did you see it? ”
The cow madman, who had been walking without speaking and bored, interrupted him as if he had suddenly become interested.
Lu Jinguo said: "The incident happened in the middle of the night before yesterday, and Lao Xu Tou said that he was sleeping in the shed at that time, and was suddenly awakened by a strange sound. ”
"The sound was like the sound of someone dragging a heavy chain against the ground, 'boom la hula', the old Xu Tou who was asleep thought that someone had come to the construction site to steal materials, so he got up and looked out through the crack in the door."
It was this look that almost scared him to death. He saw a large crowd of people dressed strangely, including men in the prime of life in wide white prison uniforms, old men and women in tattered clothes, and some thin children like bean sprouts. ”
"The men were in a long line, their hands and feet chained, and a man in a black cloak in front of them led them. When he got closer, Lao Xu Tou found that the group of people all had wooden expressions, covered in blood, and they were all walking on tiptoe, and the chains came out with a rattling sound, without a sound. ”
"I heard the old man say that only ghosts can't touch the ground when they walk with their heels, so ......"
"Old Xu Tou's courage was broken, and he finally got hit until dawn, and he left directly, and he didn't want any wages."
Speaking of this, Lu Jinguo looked at the cow madman with blank eyes, as if he wanted him to say something.
The cow maniac still kept his head down, but his brow was furrowed as if he could wring out water......
