Chapter 8 The fool is back
In the end, we just refilled the fool's grave, and Chen Qingshan asked a friend to find a mage to do it. It's nonsense. Even if the fool can't be regarded as Chen Shitou's wife, she is still the mother of Da Kui and the three brothers.
, whether the fool's grave was dug up or "the fool came out on his own", their family members should at least be present, right? As a result, no one in the family came out to take a look. In the words of the villagers, the three brothers were obsessed with the girl.
In Wenwen Township, everyone wants to die on their bed, who would be willing to watch it?
I didn’t want to get too involved in the fool’s affairs. After all, I had my childhood experience there, so while Chen Qingshan and the others were busy, I quietly returned to the village committee. As soon as I walked to the door, I saw someone from a distance.
Han Xue stood alone at the door of the village committee.
I thought she was here to push the girl's affairs again, so I walked over and said, "No classes today? That matter hasn't progressed yet, and I'm getting ready to do it. Look, something new has happened again."
Han Xue looked up at me, her face turned a little pale and said, "Did a fool escape from the grave?"
I nodded and said, "You have heard about this, right? However, it is not yet certain whether he escaped from the grave or was dug up."
I saw that Han Xue's face was a little pale, so I continued to ask: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you need to go and have a look?"
I don’t know why, but I saw that Han Xue was a little strange today, and she looked a little lost. I thought she was feeling unwell, so I invited her into the room, poured a glass of water, and continued to ask: "Don't be brave, no?"
If you feel comfortable, go see a doctor, let alone a doctor in the village. It’s okay to treat a headache or fever.”
Han Xue held the cup and looked up at me. Her big eyes looked hazy under the heat. She asked: "Ye Zi, I heard the students said that there will be no tomb robbers about fools."
Go dig the fool's grave. Even if the three brothers become enemies, the villagers will never dig the fool's grave, so the fool must have come out on his own, right?"
I actually thought the same thing in my heart, but I was afraid of being a fool, so I didn’t dare to look her in the eyes and said: "Don’t think too much about society. I just said that the village chief is here. You two, one is from the party."
How can a cadre, one of whom is a people's teacher, believe in such superstitious things?"
Han Xue put down the water glass, looked at me with an ugly face and said, "Ye Jihuan, tell me the truth."
I looked at her and asked inexplicably: "What happened to you today?"
Han Xue looked up at me, her face still ugly, but gradually, her eyes became watery, and she was obviously about to cry. I rushed to the market and said, "What's wrong with you? Tell me!"
"The fool must have come out on his own. The figure standing at my window last night must be her." Han Xue said softly.
"Nonsense." My heart suddenly shook, but I still knocked her head lightly and said.
"I guessed it was her last night. The appearance of her grave today confirms this. Ye Zi, I'm not joking with you. Do you think I'm talking nonsense to you?" Han Xue's eyes were watery.
She stared at me and said, "I know if I keep talking nonsense, she will definitely cry. And I also know that Han Xue is usually very lively, but she will never make a joke about this matter."
I sighed and sat down and said, "I just said that because I was worried that you would be scared alone. In fact, I believe you. Tell me what's going on."
"There was a wind chime hanging above my bed. It suddenly buzzed in the middle of the night last night. I woke up thinking it was windy and didn't close the window. But the moment I turned on the light, I saw a piece of wind chime outside the window.
The woman's face has very long hair, and her face is very white, as white as if she had been soaked in water for a long time." Han Xue trembled all over as she spoke, and unknowingly she grabbed my arm.
I'm in pain.
When she said this, I got goosebumps all over my body. I patted her shoulder to calm her down and said, "What happens next?"
"She smiled at me and left." Han Xue finally sobbed.
Han Xue's words instantly made my scalp numb, because I thought of the fool who smiled at me when he was dying in the river when I was a child. That smile made me unable to forget that smile in my life.
s face.
I took out a cigarette and lit one. I was trembling slightly because the hand holding the lighter was trembling. I said to Han Xue: "Don't be afraid. The fool is not a villain. She is a poor woman. She will not harm others."
Yes, there are good people and bad people, and there are good and bad ghosts."
——This sentence is to comfort Han Xue, and it is also to comfort myself.
"But why did she come to me? Even if she came back, she would go to Chen Shitou and his family, right? I thought about it all night, did she come to me because I asked you to save that girl?
"Han Xue looked at me and said, with that pear-shaped face that made me feel so distressed that I wanted to hold her in my arms.
"Impossible, that's how the fool was ruined. Even if she came here because of this incident, she wouldn't be trying to intimidate you. She might be thanking you for your sense of justice. If there was someone in the village who had the same sense of justice as you,
A fool wouldn't be so miserable." I patted Han Xue.
I comforted Han Xue for a long time, that is to say, this girl has always been strong. The scene she described would scare me enough, let alone a little girl. Finally, I stood up and said: "Don't
I'm worried, everyone in the village knows that the fool has grievances, and the third grandfather and the village chief are afraid that the fool will cause trouble if he comes out this time. The village chief has already gone to find the mage, and as soon as he comes out to do something, everything disappears."
After I said this, Han Xue, who was so frightened with tears just now, stood up and grabbed my arm and said: "Going to find the mage? Won't the fool be wiped out in ashes?"
"What? Feeling distressed?" I looked at her and said with a smile.
"No, the fool is so pitiful. If you are reduced to ashes, are you still human?" Han Xue wiped her tears and stared at me like a little cat.
"But she scared our beautiful and lovely Teacher Han yesterday, she deserves it!" I said.
Han Xue suddenly twisted my arm, causing me pain. She shouted: "That's not okay, you are not allowed to do this to her!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm going to go to the village chief and ask him to talk to the mage. As long as the fool goes back to her grave and keeps her peace, I won't deal with her. Can you let me go, grandma?" I begged for mercy. This girl is really screwed.
It hurts!
Han Xue let me go, looked at me and said: "So that girl must be rescued quickly. Even if the fool really comes back to threaten me, she must be saved, otherwise she will be the second fool! I understand the work in your village, but you have to
Remember, every day you waste is the suffering of that girl at Chen Shitou's house. You have to think about it, what if that girl is me?"
——After comforting Han Xue for a while, she continued to go back to school. She still had classes today. In the morning, because her mood was really unstable, she asked the students to study on their own temporarily.
After Han Xue left, I was alone in this room. As a big man like me, it was impossible for me to be too scared to stay in the room, but I also felt a little cold in the room.
I smoked cigarettes for a long time, and scenes from my childhood once again flashed through my mind.
I put out my cigarette and went out. I didn’t know where I was going. I just wandered aimlessly. Finally, I found that I had arrived at my elder brother’s door in Sanlitun. He was drinking tea in the yard and looking at the door.
I'm in a daze.
"How long have I been here?" I scratched my head and looked at my elder brother sheepishly, and walked in the door as I spoke.
"I've been standing at the door for half an hour, in a daze." The elder brother picked up a cup of tea with tweezers and handed it over.
I picked up the tea and drank it directly, but found that the tea was boiling hot and I spit it out all of a sudden. My elder brother handed me some tissues and said, "Tell me, what happened."
I looked at my eldest brother. I was able to come to him in such a confused state. It seemed that I actually believed in my heart that he could help me solve this matter. In fact, this is exactly the case. In my heart, eldest brother is not only a person.
He can fight as a knight in a group, but he is also a person with mysterious abilities. His horoscopes can determine life and death, and he can calmly escape from a ghost cave, which all illustrate this point.
I put aside my whole life and told him this matter. Since it was my eldest brother, I even told him what happened when I was a child.
After saying that, I looked at my elder brother and found that he was looking at me calmly. The calmness on his face greatly increased my confidence. Only a confident person can be so calm, right?
"Do you like that female teacher?" My elder brother asked me this question.
"Is this important?" I asked sheepishly.
The eldest brother stood up and said, "Wait a moment."
After saying that, he went back to the house. I saw him go up to the second floor of his attic. The second floor of the eldest brother's house is also a mysterious spot now. It was something that the villagers talked about some time ago, because the eldest brother was in the decision-making process of life and death.
Sometimes, I always go upstairs with the red paper with the birth date written on it. After going downstairs, I will know the life and death of the person who fell into the water. In addition, the eldest brother can enter and exit the twelve ghost caves, so everyone guessed a story.
That is the second floor of the eldest brother. It is dedicated to the water ghost or the river god. The river god gave him the rule that he can only enter and exit three times a year and only accept 100,000 yuan at a time. Otherwise, how could the eldest brother stick to the rules so rigidly?
As for the horoscopes that determine life and death, the eldest brother will ask the water ghost. If the person's life has been taken by the water ghost, the eldest brother will not save the person. If the water ghost takes away the person's life, the eldest brother will save the person.
Although this story is conjectured, it feels quite similar. Anyway, even I, the younger brother, don’t know what the things in the eldest brother’s attic are, but I speculate that they must be the same as the black box that I helped him move that day.
related.
So I thought, now that my eldest brother is asking me to wait and go upstairs, maybe he is also asking the water ghost to solve this problem?
After a while, the eldest brother came out. The expression on his face was a bit strange. My heart sank. This was the first time that I saw him change his unwavering expression in such a long time.
Is this difficult to do?
"What's wrong, brother?" I asked.
"Someone is already taking care of this matter, I can't get involved," the eldest brother said.
