Chapter 11: Weakness of Heart
My second uncle and I stood in front of the Zhu family and looked at each other for half an hour.
After a long time, I stubbornly asked:
"Second uncle, didn't you write the words 'let Xie Jinhua and Zhu Daqian continue their relationship' into the deed at that time, did you?"
"I don't remember..."
The second uncle raised his eyes to look at the sky, and only after a long time did he reply in a low voice under my gaze:
“... It seems to be written. ”
I turned around and left, and the second uncle hurriedly grabbed me:
"Ah Bai, Ah Bai, I drop a white doll——! Look, we're all here, so let's go in and have a look. ”
"Maybe there is a 1 in 10,000 turnaround?"
The corners of my mouth twitched:
"This is already married, and the children and grandchildren are running all over the ground, what else can there be for a turnaround?"
"It is also said that the relationship between the two people is stronger than Jin, and if they don't marry each other, they would rather be lonely and widowed for the rest of their lives..."
"Isn't this coaxing me, not coaxing children?!"
The second uncle hurriedly grabbed me:
"Calm down, I'm here, I still have to go in and take a look, what if there's something hidden? At that time, filial piety was greater, parents couldn't see their children widowed for a lifetime, and it was common to force them to get married. ”
I nodded again and again:
"Yes, not only forced to get married, but also forced to have children, there are many in my life!"
The words were ugly, but I still entered the house with my second uncle.
Zhu Daqian's house is actually very magnificent, a piece of high walls and green tiles are connected into a two-in, two-out quadrangle, just after the rain, the dragon's spine flows, and flows into the patio.
Not to mention the beautiful scenery that can make people's eyes shine in our small rural village, even in a big city.
I also looked at it a few more times, until the second uncle found someone, asked where the ancestor was, and brought something to visit.
Of course, we can't say that we are here to ask Zhu Daqian about his past affairs, but we just came to send something in the name of visiting the elderly in the village.
The middle-aged man opposite the second uncle was forty or fifty years old, and he was said to be Zhu Daqian's youngest son.
He spat at first, then took the object and pointed wildly at the wing room behind him.
I watched the man throw the things brought by the second uncle to the ground, and I felt very uncomfortable, but the second uncle took me by the hand and walked away quickly.
The house where Zhu Daqian lives is naturally the main house, and the place where the light in the entire courtyard is the most abundant, when my second uncle and I entered the door, Zhu Daqian was leaning on the head of the bed, trembling and shaking, as if he wanted to stand up.
He already had white hair, was thin as a bamboo pole, had large old age spots on his face, hands, and body, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and it was obvious that his time was running out in the real sense.
There was an indescribable smell in the whole room, the smell of feces and urine mixed with the smell of sweat, and even the smell of some food.
I couldn't stand this, and hurriedly opened the door of the main house for ventilation.
The second uncle stepped forward to say hello and said a few words casually, although the other party looked old and spoke slowly, the regulations were quite clear.
So the second uncle went straight to the road:
"Brother Zhu knows a woman named Xie Jinhua?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Daqian's eyes widened incredibly, and he casually stretched out his thin hand like an eagle's claw, grabbed the second uncle's hand, and kept muttering:
"Golden Flower... Golden Flower..."
"You guys, how do you know Jinhua? My golden flower, my golden flower..."
As soon as I saw that there was a play, I hurriedly turned out the draft that had just been typed on the road, and asked:
"Grandpa Zhu, who is this golden flower yours?"
"Are you two getting along? Our village has been moving graves for the past few days, and we accidentally dug up this Xie Jinhua's grave, so I found it, if you want, then take the bones back and bury them together, okay? ”
This is the draft that my second uncle and I discussed on the road, and we were buried together, and we reluctantly persuaded the deed to say 'continue the frontier'.
The old man's face showed a look of reminiscence, his chest rose and fell, and finally he tilted his head and fell directly back to the bed:
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"I've been thinking about her for so many years..."
"Don't you know, we were both seventeen or eighteen back then, she was beautiful and capable, and we got along for almost two years, but my father and mother just didn't agree and forced me to marry the eldest lady who opened a soy sauce shop in the town!"
"At that time, Jinhua was already pregnant, where could we stand the arrangement of the elders in the family, and immediately wrote a letter to agree to elope... Unexpectedly, when Jinhua passed by the mass grave, the road was slippery on a rainy day, and she fell, and she had a difficult birth in the cemetery..."
Zhu Daqian's eyes were full of muddy tears, which did not fall for a long time:
"By the time I arrived, there were two dead bodies... I hate it! ”
I was a little moved, but when I calmed down and thought about it, I felt that something was wrong.
Looking at the second uncle's smiling eyes, I suddenly felt bad in my heart.
Sure enough, in the next second, the second uncle raised his voice and said:
"Since Brother Zhu said so, then I also have a bottom in my heart."
"It's not a secret, the two of us are actually entrusted by Xie Jinhua to be loyal to ghosts, listen to her, and come to find out what you mean..."
"Since you're still thinking about her, I'll call her here."
Before the second uncle's words fell, he saw Zhu Daqian's eyes widening layer by layer, and his whole thin old face was shaking:
“... You, she, why did you listen to her and come to me? ”
I glanced at my second uncle, turned around and went back to the village, found my shop, grabbed the ugly paper figure and ran.
I was young and fast, and in less than an hour, I dragged an ugly paper figure to Zhu's house, and before I entered the door, I heard Zhu Daqian fidgeting:
“... Can't you? What kind of god is there?! Hey, I see, you dug Xie Jinhua's grave, and you opened your mouth to beg for money, right..."
“... Brother, I really didn't say you, how can you say that you are also an old person, and you are still swaggering with your own children? I'll put my words here today, even if Xie Jinhua comes, you two won't be able to get a child......"
When I came, I vaguely talked to Xie Jinhua about the Zhu family, and when I heard this, the paper man in my arms struggled to break free, crying and rushing into the door:
"Brother Zhu! You, how can you get married?! ”
"Didn't you like to call people the most in the past? How can you get a big name now?! ”
The moment the ugly paper man threw himself into the door, I heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the house, and when I entered the door, the Zhu Daqian was already lying on the ground shaking like chaff:
"There are ghosts! Ghosts! ”
"Help! Ghosts! The female ghost deceived the corpse!! ”
Zhu Daqian waved the crutches in his hand frantically, in order to drive away the ugly paper man who tried to get closer.
The strength of wielding the cane is obviously not small, and it is almost like the appearance of lying on the bed and dying before.
Many things in the room were thrown to the ground by him, and there was a series of dead sounds.
Xie Jinhua repeated incredulously:
"Brother Zhu... It's me, Jinhua! ”
Zhu Daqian's voice was almost on the verge of collapse:
"Get out! Get lost! There is a debtor and a debtor! Don't come next door! ”
