Husband?

Early in the morning, before Chen Guang woke up, he was stuffed with a question by this woman who didn't know how to answer, and he really couldn't figure it out.

But seeing that she was in such a hurry, something must have happened, so Chen Guang hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and asked anxiously: "This lady, has something happened to your husband?" ”

"I don't know!" Chen Guang's words were like the fire that lit the guiding line, igniting all the uneasiness and anxiety in the woman's heart at once. The woman who was asked about the key to the matter obviously didn't know what was going on, so she could only stomp her feet in a hurry, and she was about to cry out nervously.

"This lady!" Looking at this haggard woman, there were still undried tears on her face, and she was about to cry out again with this sentence, she was really afraid that she would cry and cry, so Chen Guang hurriedly reached out and patted Shunqi behind her, and at the same time kept calling in her ear:

"Madame, don't worry about it yet, okay? Come, I'll take you in and drink saliva first, drink saliva first and then talk slowly. ”

Seeing her cover her mouth and nodding her head with difficulty, Chen Guang carefully helped her into the house, and after settling her, he quickly poured a glass of water.

"Drink slowly."

Seeing that this woman didn't seem to have drunk water for a few days, she took the cup and stuffed it directly, and he was really afraid that she would be choked. But Chen Guang didn't expect that after the woman finished drinking, she only wiped a handful of water stains on her mouth, put down the cup, and said in a crying voice:

"My husband is a groom who hasn't come back since he drove a guest out the other day. At first, I thought it was just because it was too late and I didn't want to go out at night, but I didn't come back the next night, and I haven't been back until now! ”

The more the woman spoke, the more excited she became, and she almost slapped the table and stood up when she said it, if it weren't for Chen Guang on the side pressing her shoulders, she might have to jump in a panic again.

At the same time, after hearing this, he also guessed the general situation of the matter.

"Later, when I went to ask, I found out that my husband was carrying you Pharmacist Chen that afternoon, so I hurried to look for you. But you've been missing for days, but you've been ...... me You can ...... me."

Chen Guang hurriedly poured another glass of water, but during the pouring of water, he found that even his hands began to tremble uncontrollably. He closed his eyes and took several breaths in a row, forcibly suppressed the violent heartbeat, and passed the water over.

The woman took the water and drank it again, and when she had wiped the haze from her eyes, she said in a trembling voice that tried to keep it flat:

"Then, when I heard that you were back last night, I thought my husband would be back in the evening, but it was all over the night! He hasn't come back yet!! Pharmacist Chen, Pharmacist Chen, I beg you! I beg you! Tell me okay!? Before she could finish it, the woman knelt down on the stool and cried, and the scene was chaotic.

Chen Guang, who didn't expect her to do this behavior, hurriedly squatted down and wanted to pull her up, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull away her hands that were pulling at his trouser legs.

"Don't be like this, don't be like this, madam, you get up first, I'll tell you later!"

After roaring out, even Chen Guang himself was stunned, but after he saw the woman being helped up by himself, he quickly came back to his senses. Then he scratched his head, pulled over his chair, sat down and recounted what had happened that afternoon.

After Chen Guang finished speaking, the woman asked, "But you said that he came back that day, but I haven't seen him until now!" ”

The questioning gaze of the woman in front of him made Chen Guang's heart sink, and he hurriedly said: "Otherwise, madam, you go back and have a good rest first, your husband's matter, I will take someone to look for it on the road later, once I find any clues, I will come back and report to you until I find me, okay?" ”

"But...... It's been so many days, will it be eaten by demon beasts......"

This can be regarded as stopping Chen Guang, because with his current guess, the biggest possibility is that he was eaten by a demon beast, but this obviously can't be said clearly, and the cause of the incident is indeed on Chen Guang, and he can't sit idly by.

"Madame, don't worry, no matter what, I will definitely find out his whereabouts for you."

Listening to this firm tone, the woman also stopped sobbing, just wiped away the tears with her mouth in her mouth, bowed her waist to Chen Guang, and walked out of the house alone.

The emaciated figure, who had not eaten well and slept well for several days, caused her to walk a little fluttery, feeling as if she was stepping on cotton, and she was weak. Compared with the woman's nervousness and worry, Chen Guang felt more that his head was blank, not only that, but he felt cold and tingling in his heart.

After her figure disappeared around the corner, Chen Guangcai sat down in the chair and couldn't recover for a long time. He shook his head violently, but he caught a glimpse of Yi De standing in the door, with a solemn expression.

"Ugh." Chen Guang tilted his head and sighed deeply: "Did you hear it?" ”

"Hmm." Yi De replied weakly, and then walked over slowly.

"Dad, before the person can be saved, I will take two first."

Listening to Chen Guang say this flatly, Yi De knew very well how uncomfortable he was.

"Dad, you ......"

Yi De was about to say something comforting, but he heard a shout from outside: "Chen Guang! There is a letter! ”

Got a letter?

Chen Guang, who was in turmoil in his heart, was a little stunned when he heard the shouting outside, and then glanced at Yi De and found that he was also frowning and confused. I couldn't help it, so I got up and went out to get the letter back.

A pale yellow letter, with five big characters written on the surface: "Pharmacist Chen's personal enlightenment". Although he hadn't seen the news of other letter writers, Chen Guang had more or less guessed that this should be written by Bai Qian.

With the letter in hand, he hurried back to the house, and couldn't wait to tear open the envelope and pull out the paper inside.

"Pharmacist Chen, see the words as you face.

Bai has not learned a little knowledge since he was a child, so he is not good at letters, so he does not do more superfluous greetings.

When I parted that day, I promised to go back to the church to search for information, and I really found a clue. But after that, I didn't know how to open my mouth to you, and I thought about it, and I was going to reply to you in this way. The following is the information I have found in the relevant literature, which is presented in the original text:

In the primeval period, the demons were complex, and each of them reached the sky. It has the potential to swallow the sky, and has the power to exhale and move the peak. Demons mostly eat living beings as food, meat as blood for drinking, and even more, gnaw on their bones and eat their souls.

There are demons in the mountains, and they are as dark as pigs; and on its back it was an arrow, as strong as an iron weapon; Qi Tian's fangs, Yan Yu thought twice; The eyes are terrifying, the young are dark green and shallow, and the adults are scarlet like whirlpools. Not old, not separated from relatives.

When this demon is angry, it makes a sound like a bell, swallows the sea, is not afraid to open a mountain, and can cover the sun with an instantaneous arrow; If you encounter an elderly person, you will unfortunately bite, and your soul will fly away, and your body will erode and you will not notice the wound.

This demon is named, and the demon is devastated.

This is what I found in the ancient books in the church, and the information is true.

In addition, Bai mentioned one more time, the demon he caught a few days ago was not too old. ”

When he saw the last sentence of the letter, Chen Guang still looked a little relieved, but after a while, he stared at the black characters on the paper, and looked like he was about to swallow the paper.

Yi De looked at his father from the side, from the beginning he just frowned and read the letter, and then made a relaxed gesture of relief, and before he could blink an eye, he held the paper in front of him like crazy, even if it was a meter away, Yi De could see the bloodshot in his eyes and the sweat on his forehead.

I was about to ask him what happened, but I saw Chen Guang sitting on the stool with his legs unsteady, his hand holding the letter trembling and slowly putting it down, staring at the front with his eyes blankly, like a person who had lost his soul, but he kept muttering:

"Not old, not separated from relatives.

Yi De's father's appearance startled Yi De, he hurriedly stepped over and pressed his hands on Chen Guang's shoulders, and asked nervously, "Dad, what's wrong?" You okay? ”

But at this time, how could Chen Guang listen to Yi De's words, so no matter how Yi De shook, Chen Guang looked depressed. Until he pursed his lips and looked at the room where the iron pillar was lying.

Finding that his father suddenly looked at this room, Yi De couldn't help but have a thought. Could it be that Brother Tiezhu is not a brother? This thought is like a fly that encounters feces, lingering. It was always in his mind. So Yi De snatched the letter, and when he found that his father's hand was not grasped at all, his heart beat half a beat faster.

Picking up the letter and reading it, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it at first, but it wasn't until he was halfway through reading it that he recalled the scene of that day, and suddenly it became clear why his father was so excited.

Inside, there was dead silence.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Chen Guang finally stood up, and the two discussed, planning to bury the iron pillar, which can be regarded as a kind of consolation to him.

So the two cleaned up for a while and went out to buy supplies.

After pondering for a while, Chen Guang felt that it was not safe to go to the village, or bury it in the suburbs. Then, after buying mats and incense candles, paper money, a carriage was called. The two of them took the corpse of the iron pillar, and under the frightened gaze of the groom, they came to the outskirts of the city.

This is not a mass grave, but there are often people buried here, so when you get off the bus, you can see large and small grave bags and paper money all over the ground. There were still unlit incense sticks in front of a few graves, and some of them were burned to the point of a stick.

Chen Guang put the iron pillar on his back on the mat laid out, found a piece of land with Yi De, and the two dug a pit back and forth.

It's sparsely populated and on the outskirts of the city, close to the forest. The sun was shining, and under the shade of the trees, there was not a trace of fresh breeze. Obviously doing tiring physical work, Yi De didn't feel that he was sweating, but shivered a little cold.

If someone passes by here at this time, in the graveyard on the edge of the woods, and sees this father and son digging a pit, and there is a dead man lying next to him, I don't know how he will feel.

After digging the pit, Chen Guang and the two sat inside to rest for a while, wiping their sweatless foreheads and rubbing their slightly sore wrists and necks.

After drinking the water and resting, Chen Guang climbed up silently, silently rolled up the mat where the iron pillar was lying, and his face sank like water.

Picked up the wrapped iron pillar and handed it to the pit, Yi De caught the iron pillar and the mat with some difficulty inside, and after Chen Guang jumped down, they straightened out the remains of the iron pillar, rolled the mat again, and climbed up.

After the two bowed deeply to the iron pillar, they picked up the shovel and covered the excavated soil, and after building a grave bag with the surrounding earthen barriers, Chen Guang burned incense sticks and candles for him, and Yi De burned some paper money next to him.

"I'm sorry, Tiezhu, I couldn't do anything to save you, and I killed your brother. It's useless for me, all I can do now is settle you first. ”

Chen Guang poured a glass of wine and said with some trembling.

"After that, I will recover your eldest brother's body and bury it next to you, even if it is, I will make up for you for the last time, okay?"

His voice became softer and softer as he went to the back, and in the end, he even looked like he was begging for the iron pillar, which made Yi De around him feel distressed.

In fact, Yi De didn't think that Tiezhu's death was due to them, and he felt that even if the big brother didn't have an accident now, he would be a little surprised in the future, so he didn't feel much uncomfortable. It's just that seeing his father's appearance like this, he is really depressed in his heart.
