0105 Carpenter Liu's Wish 4
Let’s talk about this, the child has a long story without his mother.
Almost all the more than 20 families in Xiaozhang Village are relatives, and the four families do not have the surname Zhang, including Carpenter Liu and his younger brother.
The two brothers came to Xiaozhang Village with his mother and fled to famine. Seeing that the widow looked so smart and diligent, the villagers decided to give Zhang Lame, a bachelor who had one leg disabled due to polio.
One is a widow with two stubborn widows, and the other is a disabled person with one leg. It is a family that they both make do with.
In that year, everyone was so poor that they sometimes had to eat Guanyin soil, so there was no saying that they had a banquet. They just asked the patriarch to preside over the presidency. They kowtowed to the clan elders in front of the villagers and even if they were polite.
But what I didn't expect was that Zhang Crook died in less than a year.
At that time, there were all things in the village. Some said that this widow was a husband, and some said that it was good for food and food. But this widow was quite smart and drove the boss out to be a guy for the coffin shop in Qingbao Town.
This kid is a scheming person, but he has learned a lot of carpenter skills.
After coming back, he took his brother to build Zhang Crook's crumbling house into the most impressive tile house in the village.
There are many forests and trees in the mountains, but that is the public. It is prohibited by the commune to cut down privately, but it cannot be resisted. Carpenter Liu is good at being a human being. Today, the home company gives a chair and tomorrow the west company gives a stool. The head and mind of the production team have all suffered from him. Even the two old men who looked at the mountain got the benefits, so naturally they turned a blind eye.
So there were more families in Xiaozhang Village with the surname Liu.
Later, the birth was contracted. Although Widow Liu's family was not rich, she couldn't resist her eldest son. The only village in the mountains who could draw talismans on beams and beat coffins. The eldest and second brother said they had a wife.
Later, after reform and opening up, the eldest daughter-in-law Ma Guihua gave birth to a fat boy. Carpenter Liu was unwilling to stay in the mountains and wanted to go out for a trip.
Uncle Zhang said with a sigh: "I made a lot of money back first, and my wife and son lived a good life in Murakami. But who would have thought that this would end up losing his life!"
"Not." Old Mrs. Zhang also interrupted with regret: "When you go out, you will be lively and jump around, and you will be in a wooden box when you come back."
Mo knew she was talking about urns.
Cremation was already very popular at this time.
And if you die so far away, cremation is the only feasible way.
Mo Yan thought of the cultivators in the family who were foggy. Some of them might not have the same fate as Carpenter Liu, and they didn't even have a wooden box when they died.
"Why can't anyone find Liu Mudun now?" Mo Xian actually only cares about his mission goals, but when he gets old, he may like to talk. Uncle Zhang talked for a long time but didn't say the main topic.
"There is a Laoshe Ridge eight miles away from our Xiaozhang Village. When you cross the ridge, you will be Qingbao Town. There is a second-murder named Yu Meng from Laoshe Ridge. He fell in love with Ma Guihua and insisted on taking Ma Guihua to Laoshe Ridge."
Mr. Zhang recalled the incident in the past two years and was still angry: "It's too unreasonable. A group of gangsters come today and tomorrow he will go to Liu's house to smash the door every day. The villagers hate it so much that they can't do anything about these people. They scared the big girls and wives in the village so hard that they didn't dare to go out to get out of trouble at night. Before the day was dark, every family closed their doors."
"Maybe it was because the boss was sent to the town as an apprentice very early, and then he was less at home. Widow Liu became more and more biased as she got older. After knowing this, she even coaxed and scolded Ma Guihua and forced her to pay the foreman Liu's life to buy money. Ma Guihua was honest and couldn't afford to pay, so she remarried Zhang Dabao from our village."
oh.
Mo Yan suddenly realized that he finally understood why the old man who had mowed the grass before called him shameless and despicable, and even gave up.
This is a second-rate guy who treats him as a gangster who is here to harass Ma Guihua.
But... it's not wrong to be strict. He is really here to harass Ma Guihua.
In the small village of twenty families, we can hear each other, and we can't wait for a couple to quarrel and cook for dinner and others can know. Looking at the old man who mowed the grass before, he talked to Mr. Zhang about the matter of Carpenter Liu's family as if he had known it. There are almost no secrets in the small village.
Under this situation, no one knows where Liu Mudun is. There is only one possibility. This kid is now running away from home and going to the society.
Mo Yan couldn't help but sank in his heart.
His simple task this time didn't even mention Liu Mudun's "intersecting society". If this kid leaves, where can he find such a Liu Mudun?
Is your first mission going to fail?
Mr. Zhang's words once again confirmed Mo Yan's premonition.
"Zhang Dabao's wife ran away with someone and left a little girl. No one expected that the two children could not play together. Jiantian beat him and Jiantian. Later, because of why Ma Guihua beat Liu Mudun hard, and the kid ran away. At first, she wondered which kid had been hiding, but she had been looking for it for three or four days, and there was no news yet."
really!
Mo Yan only felt bitter in his mouth. His previous premonition was correct, just look at the simple tasks that rewarded this task would not be too simple.
"Look, Mr. Zhang, according to my friendship with Brother Liu, Ma Guihua is my sister-in-law, but now she has remarried to someone else. It would be a bit embarrassing for me to report myself like this. I want to help her find her son, but I don't want her to know my identity. Can I rent your house for a while? I will live here as a tenant. I can't find it, at least I will be my brother."
The old man was moved when he heard Mo Yan’s sincerity and said, “You are a good young man. OK, then you…”
"No!" the old lady said quickly, "You forgot that Dazhu had just arrived, saying that he had a partner outside and wanted to take him back to see him?"
Old Zhang slapped his head and said to Mo Apologetically: "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot about this."
Maybe she felt a little embarrassed, the old man frowned for a moment and said, "Aren't I stupid? You can also help Ma Guihua when you live in a ready-made place. She has remarried to Dabao. She has a ready-made empty house in her house, just go there and live."
The old man thought about it the more he felt that this method was good. Mo Wu was definitely not that good because he couldn't afford to pay the rent.
After learning from one mistake, Mo Yan felt that if this mission could be completed, he would have to get some value-preserving items such as gold and jewelry when he went back. At least he would not face such a dilemma when he did the mission in the future.
