Chapter 478: Gone and Forever, Random and Difficult
Xie Jing thought about it.
Then he shook his head, "Only the two aunts have their hair buns on it." He is younger, about 35 years old. There are no others. Oh no, there's an old lady who has it in her hair. It looks like it's getting old. It is a little older than the silver hairpin style of the deceased. ”
"Well, that's a lot easier to look up."
Di Ying bowed her head slightly, thought of something, and then asked: "As far as the three people you saw with silver hairpins, are they all neat and clean?" Isn't the face badly eroded by the sea breeze? Are your fingers still relatively clean? Nothing cocooned? ”
Xie Jing's head was clicked. When an adult asks, he clicks.
Di Ying sighed lightly and said, "Life is difficult." Only some days are slightly better, can be hairpins and silver hairpins, and can do less work. This is very different from the mainland.
As long as the mainland is not too poor, after the age of forty, you can basically have a silver hairpin. It's just that the thickness and length are different.
Don't talk about that. It should be easier to inquire next, after all, there are few women who can afford silver hairpins. The deceased was not burned to ashes for a long time, after all, no matter how big a stone was in the way, this big and small sea breeze could blow away a lot of ashes.
There are so many that you can stay, and the time probably won't exceed three days. Let's go, go and ask. ”
With the silver hairpin as an obvious feature of recognizing people, soon, I inquired about it.
An aunt who also wore iron earrings pointed to the sparsely built wooden house in the south and said, "That woman's name is Jiang Xiuhua, and the time to move here is relatively short, right?" It seems like it's been less than three years. Her family lived on the edge of the area, and the one with the most tightly built wooden house was the one that was built up. ”
Di Ying thanked her aunt, and when she raised her feet and was about to pass, she heard her aunt remind: "Her man has never come back since he went to sea for the last time." She's home alone, don't get too close. ”
After speaking, he asked strangely: "Hey, what are you doing with a rich man like her?" ”
Although Di Ying and they are not dressed luxuriously, they are neat and have no patches and no traces of sea washing, which is very eye-catching in this area. It belongs to the category of rich people.
However, before Di Ying and them could answer, the aunt said to herself: "Speaking of Jiang Xiuhua, I don't seem to have seen much people these days. If she's not at home, she's probably moved out. Women who don't have men don't have to stay in this area, and it's hard to stay. It's okay to leave early. ”
Broken and babbling. Then bow your head and continue to mend the nets.
Di Yingchong smiled at Aunt Di.
Xie Jing went over, stuffed five copper plates for the eldest aunt, and then went to catch up with the adult.
As a result, the eldest aunt also chased after her.
His eyes lit up and he said, "You are really good people, how about asking about something and paying back the money?" Hey, I can't take it for nothing, I'll show you the way. If there's anything else you want to know, ask me. There's a lot I know. ”
Di Ying responded with a smile, and said honestly and unceremoniously: "We are looking for Jiang Xiuhua to have something to do." If you know anything about her or her family, tell me about it? ”
"Okay, I said, I said ......"
The eldest aunt led the way, and while thinking, she began to chatter.
"Jiang Xiuhua, actually...... Actually, it's not that peaceful. She is the only one in her family, and she has no children. When she went to sea, she stayed at home by herself, and it was common for her to be unable to bear loneliness.
What's more, she is a father-in-law...... Hey? What's it called? Oh yes, it's called Cheng Xinzhi. Yes, it's the surname Cheng. Cheng Xinzhi went out to sea to fish, and he came out of an ocean-going vessel. It's a big ship, the kind that goes far away. Once you leave, it will take at least half a year
Come back and rest for a month, and then go again. I can make some money. You know, the farther the ship goes, the more money you earn.
This is the thing of going out to the sea and fighting for a lifetime of lying down and eating and drinking. Her family has been here for three years, and Cheng Xinzhi seems to have come back from the sea twice. Yes, there should only be two times, not more.
One time the harvest was okay, and the other time it was miserable. The big ship was in tatters, and if it could survive back, it was met and dragged back by other big ships.
I really picked up a life, I heard that they went out together with hundreds of people, and less than twenty came back.
That time, Cheng Xinzhi also lay at home for about three months before going to sea again.
Her mother-in-law, that is, Jiang Xiuhua, is idle on weekdays. She doesn't need to do anything, she just needs to take care of herself.
But she can't manage it well, so she has a good match. It seems to be called ...... It's called Wu Yangping or Wu Yangsheng.
That's a good name, isn't it? But the man was already an old man in his fifties. Just a lonely widowed old man. I heard that when I was young, I worked hard and saved some money. My wife died of illness, and after my sons went to sea, they never came back one after another.
And then he was the only one left. He said that his father and his sons had died in the sea, and that he would not go anywhere, but would guard the sea.
But the heart is kept, but the man does not. When I was bored, I hooked up with this uneasy woman.
This kind of thing, no one cares about, it's all too common here. Hey, it's here, and the time to talk is here, well, this is it.
Hey? Why is the door still closed in the middle of the day? ”
The eldest aunt said, and knocked on the door.
This kind of wooden shack is a fisherman's dwelling, without a yard. It is to build a room, and then divide it into three rooms, so that you can simply live in it.
The foundation of the house should be higher than the ground to prevent waves from washing away or sand from being blown into the house. There are five wooden steps in front of the door.
The common people pay attention to the steps in front of the door, which is a five-level number.
There was a water tank at the door, with a lid on it. There are shelves supported by a few wooden poles for drying clothes. The ground is all sand and gravel.
The door of Jiang Xiuhua's house was not locked, but it was not opened when the eldest aunt photographed it. Apparently latched from the inside.
The eldest aunt knocked on the door and muttered a little embarrassedly: "I thought it was just a cover-up, but it turned out to be latched." What are you doing with this big white bolt door......"
Di Ying didn't have such thoughts.
On the sand in front of this gate, because the family lives at the back, there are no fresh footprints at this door. There were no fresh footprints for at least three days.
On the clothes pole, there was a woman's sleeveless gown, which was blown to the ground by the wind, and half of it was covered by sand. It looks like it's been washed for three days.
And the eldest aunt knocked on the door for so long, and no one opened the door. He looked back a little embarrassed and smiled: "This, this is too sleepy, ...... you see?" ”
