Chapter 13 Let Nature
After Uncle Zhuzhu finished speaking, I looked at him and asked: "Uncle Zhuzhu, what I don't understand is that from what you said, this person didn't seem to have done anything wrong. For example, he didn't save my father or it was because of a misunderstanding.
There's nothing wrong with lighting my aunt's sky lantern, but why does he insist that you not tell others?"
Uncle Zhuzhu shook his head and said: "I don't know, I guess you can guess that this person is from the village, but no one in the villagers knows his identity. If he hadn't found me at that time, I wouldn't have
I didn’t know he was a man who knew magic.”
"If you don't do something bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. He must have done something bad." I said.
Uncle Zhuzhu smiled bitterly and said, "Then who knows?"
After a while, seeing that Uncle Zhuzhu didn’t know what to say, I said: “So you don’t actually enter the twelve ghost caves, you can only retrieve the body of the fool outside the twelve ghost caves.
Come out, right?" I looked at Uncle Zhuzhu and said.
Uncle Zhuzhu nodded and said, "You can also say that."
After Uncle Zhuzi said this, in fact, compared to his elder brother, Uncle Zhuzi was very frank. Although he was unwilling to reveal who that person was, I can understand this. After all, Uncle Zhuzi had a history with that person.
promise.
After a while, I asked Uncle Zhuzhu: "So you have no way to solve the fool's matter, right? Brother asked me to come to you just to test you?"
"Yes and no, the fool is back this time, actually." When Uncle Zhuzhu just said this, he suddenly covered his chest, cold sweat flowed down his forehead desperately, and his face turned white in an instant.
.
I quickly supported him and asked: "Uncle Zhuzi, what's wrong with you? What did the fool come back for this time?"
Uncle Zhuzhu raised his head and looked at me with a horrified look on his face: "Yi Zi, stop asking, someone won't let me tell you, go back, and don't worry about this anymore!"
"What's going on? Who doesn't want you to tell me?" I grabbed Uncle Zhuzhu and asked. There were only two of us in the room just now. When he suddenly said this, I was actually a little scared. Could it be that someone was eavesdropping on us secretly?
During the conversation, when Uncle Zhuzhu was about to say those words, he suddenly felt heartache. Could it be that someone was casting a spell?
Uncle Zhuzhu pushed me out of the house and said: "Go back to Yezi and find your elder brother! This matter is more complicated than you think!"
After saying that, Uncle Zhuzi closed the door directly from the inside and shut me out.
——When I left Uncle Zhuzhu’s house, the sun was already shining brightly outside, but I felt that the temperature today was extremely low. Uncle Zhuzhu only told me a story, but this story refreshed my three views.
There are so many secrets hidden in this village where I grew up. Moreover, all of this seems to have some inexplicable relationship with my father's death.
I lit a cigarette, went home and rode the electric bicycle, and rushed to Sanlitun to find my elder brother again. If it was about other things, I might not ask, but this was related to my father's death, and I had to do it.
clear.
After arriving at my eldest brother's house, he was sitting at home. Seeing his expression as if he was waiting for me, I walked over, picked up a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, and said, "Are you checking about dad's death?"
The eldest brother looked at me, without nodding or shaking his head. Instead, he asked: "It seems that you have gone to find Zhuzi."
I nodded and said, "Well, he knew you were testing him, and he asked me to tell you that he had nothing to do with dad's death."
The eldest brother glanced at me, leaned back on the sofa, and asked softly: "What did he say?"
I told Uncle Zhuzhu what he had told me almost exactly from my memory. After I finished speaking, I said: "I have said everything that needs to be said. Look how candid I am about my father's death."
, you know you can’t hide anything from me.”
The eldest brother once again ignored my last sentence. He stared at me and asked, "Do you believe what Zhu Zhu said?"
I opened my mouth and was ready to tell the truth. After all, what Uncle Zhuzi said was very true, and based on our nearly twenty years of getting along with each other, I felt that Uncle Zhuzi didn’t look like a person who could lie. But when my eldest brother asked me this question, I
It seems that I am not 100% sure that I completely believe what Uncle Zhuzi said.
The elder brother saw that I was not able to answer, so he stood up and said with a smile: "It is easy for people to see through nonsense, and the highest level of lies is that 80% of them are true and 20% of them are false. Only in this way can people be convinced."
"Then where did he lie?" I asked.
The eldest brother shook his head and said, "I don't know either, it's just intuition."
I rolled my eyes at him and said, "You are just suspicious." - After I finished speaking, I felt that I had said the wrong thing. In fact, I thought that this was the right thing to do. I did tend to be a little emotional a lot of the time. So I hurriedly said
: "Let's not talk about this, brother. Although we met late, we are brothers. You have to tell me when you are investigating my father's death, so that I can cooperate with you. If Uncle Zhuzi hadn't broken it today, you
How long are you going to keep this from me?"
"I won't tell you because I didn't want you to interfere in this matter," the eldest brother said.
"I know what you want to say. You don't let me intervene because of the danger and for my own good, right?" I said angrily.
"It's good to know." He actually nodded.
I know the virtues of my elder brother. No matter how hard I press for things that he doesn’t want to say, it’s useless. I don’t dwell on this topic anymore. In fact, what I know today is already better than what I have learned in the past twenty years.
It was all too much, and I needed time to digest it, so I stood up and said, "You want to test Uncle Zhuzhu. I have already tested it for you. He can't solve this problem. What do you think we should do?"
"Let nature take its course," the eldest brother said softly.
"I said, brother, aren't you? You really don't care?" I said.
"Don't worry, it will only do you good and no harm." The elder brother looked at me and said, his eyes were strange when he said this.
I didn't understand what he meant at first, but after thinking about it, I realized that he should be referring to Han Xue. I blushed and was too embarrassed to argue with him. I could only talk to myself.
One sentence: Are you that kind of person?
——After I came back from my eldest brother, I went to the door of the village committee and saw Uncle Zhuzhu squatting at the door of the village committee smoking a cigarette. He was squatting on the ground with his brows furrowed. When he saw me coming, he shouted at me.
He waved: "Zi Zi, come here."
My whole day today was when my eldest brother went to Uncle Zhuzi, then to his place, and then met Uncle Zhuzi again. It was almost like a two-point line, but I still walked over and said, "What, have you figured it out?"
"The fool's return has something to do with Chen Shitou's purchase of the woman, Ye Zi, uncle can only tell you so much." He just said that, and immediately turned around and left, still looking around for fear of being seen.
After I returned to the village committee, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this matter was really mysterious. What Uncle Zhuzhu suddenly said to me at this time must be a very important reminder, but what does it mean specifically? The fool is coming back at this time.
It has something to do with the woman Chen Shitou bought. According to my understanding, there are only two possibilities. One is that the fool doesn't want Chen Shitou and his family to do evil again, and the other is that he comes back to congratulate him. But there is one thing I can't figure out. Why does the fool do this?
Looking for Han Xue in the middle of the night?
To put it bluntly, I can understand her coming to me in the middle of the night. After all, I was connected with her before she died. But Han Xue is a foreign girl and a warm-hearted girl. Why is she looking for Han Xue?
I thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to go to Chen Qingshan. My elder brother said to let nature take its course and not interfere, so I would just pretend that he is not the person to handle this matter.
I went to Chen Qingshan's home and told him the situation. Chen Qingshan was also shocked, but he immediately cursed: "Damn it, Tai Chi Temple is so big and Taoism is still a liar?"
"The more such a liar, the more skillful he is in his deception. It's not surprising that he deceived us." I said.
"You saw the fool looking for Teacher Han? Why did the fool look for her?" Chen Qingshan also had the same doubts as me.
"You ask me who should I ask? I don't understand. There is no need to go to Teacher Han Xuehan! Village Chief, this matter must be resolved quickly. There is only one teacher in our village. If he leaves again,
What about the children?" I asked.
"That's a thing, Ye Zi, you usually have the most ideas, what do you think we should do about this matter?" Chen Qingshan asked me.
"I want to go visit Chen Shitou's house. This strange thing started when Chen Shitou bought the girl. And even if it has nothing to do with it, this matter must be resolved quickly." I said.
"Don't you like dealing with Chen Shitou and his family?" Chen Qingshan looked at me and said.
