Master may have seen my contradictions and entanglements, and sighed: Now we are just guessing, right? Everything should be taken step by step. Besides, why do I feel that it would be great if things were really that simple? This time I will see
Come on, we shouldn't have come to the Northeast at all.
Master's last words reminded me of something - we shouldn't have come to the Northeast at all. This sentence is indeed true for us. Nothing has gone smoothly since we came to the Northeast.
The turtle that suffered a thousand blows, and the tiger's cub, each one became more and more anxious.
But what about Huzi? - We should not come to the Northeast! Let's compare our feelings, if I were Huzi, I was a murderer, and I buried the bones of a girl in the yard, what would I do? -
-The answer is that I will be very low-key and try to reduce the number of people who come to this yard as much as possible. Moreover, Huzi said it is true that he is getting married. He bought this wife. It is not a wedding at all. There is no need to invite me.
.
Why would a murderer who minimizes human contact and who is married to a woman sold by a human trafficker invite me to come over from Fujian in such a unnecessary way?
Our relationship was good six years ago, but it was definitely not so good that I had to attend his wedding. And my consistent view is that when a person wants to do something, he must have his purpose, so Huzi invited
What is the purpose of our coming here?
I understood the meaning of Master's words, if only things were really that simple. As smart as him, he should also understand this - we have fallen into the tiger's plan, but we don't know what he is going to do.
My brother immediately became depressed. I regard him as my brother, how could he treat me like this? While I was thinking about it, Huzi walked into the house with a smile on his face, carrying the pot, and said with a smile: Preserved egg and lean meat porridge, come here
Try my handiwork.
I don’t know why, but looking at Huzi’s smile, I always have a feeling of fear. Huzi like this is really strange, and he is no longer the same person he was six years ago.
The more we doubt Hu Zi, the more Master and I have to pretend that we don’t doubt him at all. We don’t ask him any doubts. We just discuss the details of tomorrow’s wedding with him. In fact, there is nothing to discuss. Hu Zi said, buy it.
Two red candles. At one o'clock tomorrow, everyone will have a good meal together, and then go to the bridal chamber to do whatever they want.
I asked tentatively: Huzi, Master and I have a lot of things to do in Fujian. As soon as your wedding is over tomorrow, we will go back the day after tomorrow.
The purpose of my asking this is that if he really has any intention towards the two of us, he will definitely do everything possible to stop us from staying here.
Sure enough, while he was sipping porridge, he immediately changed his face and said loudly: "Xiao Sanliang, what do you mean? You came all the way and just left like this. Are you slapping me in the face? No, no, no, you have to play for a few more days, you have to leave."
I'm in a hurry with you.
I pretended to have a discussion with the master and said: OK, by the day after tomorrow at the latest, don’t say anything else, you just have to live, right? I have to leave the day after tomorrow.
I said this just to remind him that we will definitely be leaving the day after tomorrow. What is your intention in bringing us here? It’s best to do it quickly. When we leave, it will be too late. Because Master and I cannot concentrate for a long time.
Beware of him.
The next day passed very quickly. Huzi was just like Master said, as if he was watching us. The three of us were playing cards. Even if I had to pee, he would accompany me to the toilet, but that was all.
Through the few times I went to the toilet, I discovered another suspicious point in Huzi's yard.
There was a small room next to the toilet. The door was a dark old-fashioned door, but it was locked tightly with an extra-large lock. I asked him pretending to be a joke: This lock is really not small.
Are all the gold bars locked inside?
There was a trace of unnaturalness on Hu Zizai's face, but it was caught by me who was carefully observing his expression. He said: There are some relics from his parents when they were renovating the house. He didn't want to throw them away, so he locked them up.
I said "oh" and didn't ask again, nor did I ask to open it to take a look. I just marked this place in my heart. His secrets were definitely hidden in this house.
Soon it was night, and the three of us played poker like children until the early hours of the morning. Then we squeezed into the same bed to sleep. After sleeping for an hour, I heard that Huzi’s breathing had become even, so I pretended to kick the master and said: Let’s go.
, accompany me to the toilet, I am a bit cautious and panicked alone.
The master said impatiently: Sir, are you still afraid of the dark? It's a shame, hurry up and go by yourself.
I said: Good master, come with me. What should you do if you see the woman in red? Do you want your apprentice to be scared to death?
When I write this, some people must think that I am a fool. I am still talking like this when I have a secret operation. Aren't I afraid of disturbing Hu Zi? Let me tell you, we really want to disturb him. Why? We are afraid that he is pretending to sleep.
If we make such a loud noise, it will definitely disturb someone - if he continues to sleep motionless, it means he is pretending. Unless he is deaf, he cannot hear such loud noises.
If he stops us impatiently - this is normal, it means we have really disturbed him.
At the same time, we are still telling him - we didn't go out secretly, we really went to pee. Why would we deliberately disturb him if we were doing something secretly?
In fact, Huzi was really impatient and said: If you need to pee, hurry up, I have a big event tomorrow, don't make any noise!
After saying that, he turned over, covered his head with the quilt, and continued to sleep.
I made a gesture to the master, and the two of them walked out of the side room gently. This time, when they opened the door, they didn't see the woman in the red cotton-padded jacket. Only the bright moonlight shone on the ground. The two of us talked about it during the day.
Watching the position of the shovel, he slowly approached the small dark room.
Suddenly Master stopped me, pointed to the room and said softly: Look!
I followed Master's finger and looked over. Anyway, there was a faint light coming from the crack in the door of the small dark room. There were lights inside?!
I have said before that this town is very poor and backward. When I first met the girl, didn’t she just buy a lantern to save battery money? Huzi’s life is not rich, so how can he be willing to keep a light on inside for a long time?
But it would be much easier if there is a light inside, because the old-fashioned door does not close tightly, and there must be a crack in the middle. During the day, it is bright outside, and you cannot see what is inside. Now it is dark outside and bright inside. We
You don't have to pick the lock, you can just observe through the crack in the door.
The two of us put down the shovels and slowly approached the small dark room. When we were close to Huzi's secret, my heartbeat was beating hard. I didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or fear. I stretched out my head and looked into the small dark room through the crack in the door.
.
I found that it seemed to be an ancestral hall, with an incense table in front and two white candles on it, which were lit at some time and were giving off a faint light.
What is enshrined on the incense table is a pair of brand new red high-heeled leather shoes!
On top of the leather shoes is a large photo frame, the kind of photo frame that commemorates people who have passed away. When I saw the face inside, I almost forgot to breathe!
Isn't this the woman I saw wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and scattering paper money in the yard?! Although the photo is black and white, I seem to be able to see her scarlet lips!
What's even more terrifying is that I saw her lips outline an arc in the photo, and she smiled at me again!
I'm not familiar with you! Why are you always laughing at me?! I was so frightened that I turned around and hugged Master.
When I turned around, I saw Huzi standing in the yard at some point, looking at us.
This feeling is very confusing. One moment I was scared to death, and the next moment I saw Hu Zi panicking, but these two feelings are completely different. I was overwhelmed by the scene in the small dark room.
I have a real fear of being a thief, and I feel like I am being caught as a thief.
I didn't even dare to look up at him. Needless to say, there are some things to say. Now that Hu Zi's secret has been discovered by us, he will either kill us to silence us, or even if he lets us go, there will be no possibility of us being friends in the future.
Master pulled me behind him and assumed a Tai Chi challenge stance. I saw that he was ready to fight to the death.
Huzi took out his cigarette, lit it, and asked me in a low voice: Sanliang, I invite you over, I just want my brother to witness my wedding, why do you do this?
I naturally understood this sentence as - why do you need to force me to kill you and silence you? I said: You fucking think I want to? You know that woman is pestering me every day?! Just now, her photo,
You even smiled at me! Do you think I like to meddle in your messy affairs?
