Chapter 16: How Lao Wan Takes a Curtain Call

Wang Defa hurriedly walked back, his first thought was to find the second child of the Yin and Yang family, the young man is young, and now he is an accountant, how many people are a little thoughtful, if he returns, Lao Wanzhen can't do it, he can also help come up with ideas. Now the question is, how can he explain this matter to Lao Wan's family, Lao Wan is fine, then everything is easy to say, if he is dead, things will be more troublesome.

The more I thought about Wang Defa, the more aggrieved and panicked I became, so what did I dig up and let Lao Wan make such a fuss. Thinking about nothing, saving people is important, Wang Defa sped up his pace. Entering the alley of the team, Wang Defa didn't go to Lao Wanjia, and he didn't know what to say about it, but went straight to the second child's house.

The second child was startled when he saw the noble Wang Defa enter the house with a pale face, and there must be something wrong.

"Old accountant, come in, come in, what's wrong with you? Why is your face the same as white ash? ”

"Second brother, I won't go in, you come out, I'll tell you something."

"What's the matter, come in and say, come in and say."

"I'm in a hurry, I'll tell you when you come out."

The second child followed Wang Defa out of the gate together, and Wang Defa told the second child what had just happened. The second child didn't say a word, entered the door and picked up a shovel from home, and followed Wang Defa to the apricot forest in the back mountain. When the second child turned back when he got out of the alley, Wang Defa asked what was wrong, and the second brother said that he called the brothers who repaired the house together last time, and the speed was also fast, so Wang Defa hurried to the forest first.

Wang Defa was almost half the time on the road than usual, and he still hoped that Lao Wan would be able to hold on in that small space, and a fool would have a stupid life.

When Wang Defa's front foot came to the hole and began to dig, the second brother of the back foot arrived with his two brothers, and they thought that Wang Defa was digging too slowly, so they replaced him. The young man still worked neatly, and only one person could go down in the deep pit, but they coordinated very well, one dug up the soil at the bottom, and the second caught the dug soil at the entrance of the cave and poured it far away from the mouth of the cave, and the three of them took turns digging.

It is important to save people, but Wang Defa is like an outsider at this moment, he can't help much, and he doesn't know what to do. After about twenty minutes, the soil below was almost cleared, and the horizontal hole in the cave had come out.

"Look at people first, look at people first! Are you okay? The second one yelled loudly from above.

The brother below him dug the hole for a while, was dumbfounded, and sat at the bottom of the pit. In the narrow horizontal hole, Lao Wan curled up in it, holding his knees with his hands, and his head buried between his legs motionless.

"What's the matter, are you still angry?" The second asked.

The second child's question woke up the brother in the cave, he kept shouting Lao Wan, but there was no movement, he stepped forward and shook Lao Wan, but there was no response. That's when I thought of "death" in my head.

"Are you alive, brother?" The second asked.

"Dead, don't move!" Obviously, his brother was also scared silly.

This is a bad news, Wang Defa is paralyzed on the ground and has no owner. The second brother and his two brothers still reacted quickly.

"Come, let's pull people up first, brother, do you have any rope in this house?" The second asked Wang Defa.

"Yes!"

"Hurry up and get it!"

The people were no longer able to do it, and several people tied Lao Wan's waist with ropes and pulled them up from the pit in a daze. The second father is yin and yang, and what to do when a person dies is still relatively familiar. He found the snakeskin bag that Wang Defa used to cushion his sleep, laid it on the ground, lifted Lao Wan on it, and took off his coat to cover Lao Wan's face. It was a distorted face, and Wang Defa also glanced at it. With his eyes open and his mouth open, the moment he was suffocated to death, Lao Wan estimated that it was the expression he left now.

"Brother, what are you tossing apricots, what are you doing digging this deep pit?" The second child asked Wang Defa in confusion.

Wang Defa didn't say a word, and the whole person was about to collapse. He was afraid that everyone would ask him what he was digging this hole for, and now that Lao Wan is dead in the hole again, what else can he say, and what is still useful?

"That's it, brother, it's not good for you to go and tell Lao Wanjia, let my two brothers accompany me, the three of you are waiting here, I'll go and notify Lao Wanjia, as for how to deal with their family, brother, you can deal with it yourself." The second child is a smart person, he can help, after all, Wang Defa is kind to him, but he must not participate in this matter, the reason why he was looking for two brothers just now, the key is that he is still careful not to be made into an accomplice, one more person will be one more witness, lest this disaster be poured on him, he will not be able to argue. The second child is right, people don't kill for themselves.

Wang Defa is a little difficult at this moment, should he let the second child notify Lao Wan's family, or not? Wang Defa thought of finding someone to rescue him at the first time when Lao Wan was buried. On the way to find the second child again, he thought a lot about how to deal with this matter. He thought about planting the blame and disguising himself as an innocent person, it was Lao Wan who jumped into the tree pit and dug blindly to bury himself, but such a trick, if Lao Wan died and said the past, if Lao Wan was dug out alive, he would have a hard time distinguishing.

He also had another idea, that is, he simply didn't look for the second child, and went directly to Lao Wanjia to ask Lao Wan if he had come back, this method was more comprehensive than the first one he thought. Yes, that's right, Lao Wan just disappeared at noon when he lay down and squinted for a while, and he couldn't find it, and hurriedly asked Lao Wan's family if he had come back, and this hot potato was thrown out of Wang Defa's hand.

The result is yes, Lao Wan definitely didn't go home, where did he go? I don't know, what should I do? The whole team gathers people and looks for it. Who was the first to find out? It must be Wang Defa, when everyone was looking for it on the back mountain, Wang Defa pretended to find that the pit he dug seemed to have fallen into the ground. Then he will beckon the people around him to come over and judge whether Lao Wan has fallen into the pit, which is easy to explain.

But the crux of all the problems is not how Wang Defa hides people's eyes and ears or frames blame, but where does this pit come from? Who dug it? What are you going to do? Wang Defa's final reason for choosing himself was that this pit was a well he was going to dig for the apricot forest, so that he didn't have to go to the bottom of the mountain to pick up water to water the trees.

This reason seems to be reasonable, acting Wang Defa must be no problem, whether you believe it or not, that's a later story, at least cover up the tomb robbery first.

During the time when Wang Defa was buried, his brain was like an engine that was spinning too fast, and he thought of almost everything he could and should consider.

But in the end, Wang Defa still chose to find the second child to save people first, in the inner struggle, he at least retained a little respect for life, he did it, even if he was at fault, but after all, he didn't force Lao Wan into the pit, this is an accident, he didn't kill anyone, he didn't intentionally kill people, besides, he didn't have a motive to kill Lao Wan, is his technique good at hitting birds with a slingshot? If you take another 10,000 steps back, you will be found out about robbing your tomb and selling cultural relics, and at best it will be a crime of selling cultural relics, and you can't avoid the disaster of prison, but it is better than killing people to pay for your life.

"Brother, what kind of deal with it when you speak? Shall I go and tell Lao Wan's family? The second child saw that Wang Defa didn't move, so he asked again.

"Second child, when you go, you must tell Lao Wanjia that his father is old, don't be irritated when he talks."

The second child didn't say a word, so he pulled out his legs and went back to the team. This matter is not a difficult thing for the second child, isn't it just a ventilated report, but the key problem is, how to open your mouth to Lao Wan's family and say that Lao Wan is gone.

"Lao Wan is gone"?

"Lao Wan is dead"?

Or: "Lao Wan is buried"?

It seems that what he said is not in line with the second child's wishes, and after walking all the way, he thought all the way. After arriving at Lao Wanjia in a hurry, the second child didn't say much, and said nervously: "Lao Wan has an accident, in the back mountain forest, come with me!" He didn't have the courage to say the word "death", he was afraid that Lao Wan and his father would not be able to accept it at this age, and then there would be three long and two short, and now it is a tragedy for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, so isn't it that neither the white-haired nor the black-haired person can send anyone.

Lao Wan's father looked at the second child and asked, "What's wrong with Lao Wan?" ”

"Don't ask so much, old man, you stay at home, if you have any news, I'll bring it to you, let Lao Wan and his brother go to the back mountain with me quickly!"

"Okay, then you young people go first, and my wife and I will chase you behind." Lao Wan's father said.

The second child walked fast on the road, chatting with Lao Wan and his brother as he walked, with a solemn face. Lao Wan's brother is a person who understands, listening to the second brother along the way, he probably has a rough idea in his heart, and the foolish brother estimates that there is more luck and less luck.

"How did he get there?"

"In the pit, it was buried in the soil, and when we dug it out, people were no longer good."

"Why did he go to the pit? Where did such a deep pit come from? ”

"I don't know about this, you can go and ask the old accountant." The second said.

"My brother is stupid, that's his life, but stupid life is also life, if Wang Defa doesn't give an explanation, I will go to the team, the town, and the county to find an explanation, and if it doesn't work, I'll go to Zhongnanhai."

"Yes, yes, there must be a statement, after all, Lao Wan is hired by the old accountant to look after the garden." The second child is not easy to persuade the old family to make the big things small and trivial, who is dead, people can still listen to other people's words, and the pain will be lost to the limit.

The sky is dark, Wang Defa and the two young people on the back mountain are guarding Lao Wan, there is no communication, how to explain to Lao Wanjia, and how will Lao Wan and Wang Defa solve this matter, there are too many things that plague Wang Defa.

On weekdays, Wang Defa was already eating dinner at home, Wang Chenglong and Wang Laidi were circling around him, and Wang Guisheng on the kang was still crying and laughing.

Seeing that Wang Defa hadn't come back yet, he was a little anxious, threw the doll to the two elderly people, and went out to inquire about Lao Wanjia. Coming out of Lao Wanjia, she felt that this thing was a little unusual, so she went home and got a flashlight, and also went up the back mountain in the dark.
