The rooster was just a little frightened, and some of the blood on the comb was drained by Mr. Zhuan, so it felt a little wilted in Chujiu's hands. Apart from a few flutters when it was first picked up, the rooster made no other movements.
It wasn't until he was thrown back to the chicken coop with the wooden fence by Chujiu that he crowed for the rest of his life. Even though I was dozens of meters away, I could still hear the joy in the rooster's crow.
"Guo Guo, hide quickly, people are waking up."
There was a weak candlelight in the room next to the wooden fence. An older man walked out of the room wearing clothes and picked up a wooden stick at the door. It seemed that he thought a vicious beast had sneaked into the chicken coop.
"Old lady, that's weird, that's weird. The dream you just had about the chicken laying golden eggs was true. You found ten dollars in the chicken coop."
Chujiu and I smiled knowingly and jumped out from the corner of the house lightly.
On the way back to the brick factory, the smile on Chujiu's lips became wider and wider. The remnant soul of the female corpse was recovered, and the owner of the rooster looked happy when he saw it. There was really no reason to be unhappy. Chujiu said that the greatest charm of doing good and accumulating virtue is
It can make people feel physically and mentally happy.
I have always thought that gathering souls is an extremely complicated matter that requires a lot of effort. After all, when I was at the school lakeside, I saw Chujiu spending a lot of time dealing with the residual soul of my senior sister.
Unexpectedly, when he returned to the brick factory, Chujiu just walked to the wooden shed, took out the talisman hidden in his pocket and placed it on the body of the female corpse. The female corpse twitched and then regained its composure.
"Guo Guo, please go inside first. The yang energy in your body is too strong, and the newly gathered soul will not be able to bear it."
Chujiu sent me back to the house, and he picked up the small horse bag not far away and sat down not far from the female body.
About ten minutes later, Chujiu returned to the house, glanced at Zhang Jun and Zhao Meng, muttered that they were still awake, and told me to go to sleep quickly, without saying a word about what he did at the door.
When they woke up, around seven o'clock, Zhang and Jun were still asleep.
Chujiu curled his lips, Mr. Zhuan was also very ruthless and fucked so hard. It is estimated that when they wake up from sleep, the two of them will not be sleepy for a few days.
Zhuan Ye's method is very similar to the Gu magic I know. When adding firewood to the stove, he throws in some Chinese medicinal materials.
A picture emerged inexplicably. Xiaoyu, who was still in Fengwang Village, had completely recovered. He unknowingly poisoned Chujiu's water cup. After Chujiu drank the water, he turned into a fool, drooling and shouting.
: "Guo Guo, I'm hungry..."
"Guo Guo, what are you thinking about? Why do you look like you need a beating?"
On the ninth day of the lunar month, I picked up Zhang Jun's car keys from the debris beside the kang, and was about to ask me to go out to the city with him, when he happened to see my undisguised expression.
"I was thinking that Chujiu is really awesome, and I was thinking about what to treat you to."
"Guo Guo, how do you know I want to eat something delicious?"
Chujiu, with a happy face on her face, grabbed the hem of my clothes and rushed out of the yard, mouthing a series of delicious food she wanted to buy in the city.
The car stopped at the door of the largest wholesale market in the county. I had to admire Chujiu Jilu's ability. He had only been to the clothing city once, but he didn't miss a single intersection.
We found a liquor store. At this time, I also understood Chujiu’s intention. Before leaving Shanxi, I left some gifts for Master Zhuan. Firstly, Master Zhuan helped us, and secondly, he was our grandfather’s friend after all.
.
I bought more than 20 bottles of various liquors. After I came out of the liquor store, I saw a radio and electronic products store. Just because Mr. Zhu didn't speak, it didn't mean that his ears couldn't listen.
After we left, he was the only one left in the brick factory. He had a radio to listen to some news, opera and other programs to pass the time.
Finally, on the ninth day of the lunar month, we used our superb bargaining skills again and spent 100 yuan to buy a tape recorder with radio function, a solar battery charger, and two tapes.
I still had beef dumplings for breakfast and lunch. In Chujiu’s words, I don’t know when I will be able to eat such authentic beef dumplings next time, so I just ate them all in one sitting.
Back at the brick factory, Zhang Jun and Zhao Meng still didn't wake up. Chujiu shook his head with a wry smile and moved the things he bought to the cave where Mr. Zhuan lived.
Zhuan Ye said that people are too old to play with these advanced things. Then he searched for an opera channel under Chujiu's guidance and casually asked Chujiu to boil water and boil dumplings. He closed his eyes and listened leisurely.
of opera.
"It's too late for you to wake up, right?"
On the ninth day of the lunar month, the dumplings were cooked and they were taking them out. Zhang Jun and Zhao Meng yawned and walked out of the cave dwelling.
"Ha, I had dumplings to eat when I woke up. It was such a great sleep."
Zhang Jun casually picked up the empty bowl and helped Chujiu fish out the dumplings. He didn't forget to stuff one into his own mouth, grinning because it was so hot.
"Damn! Brother, forget it if you don't wash your face, you might as well brush your teeth."
Zhang Jun looked embarrassed. Originally, the two of them came out to wash up, but they smelled the aroma of dumplings and forgot about it for a while.
"Hurry up and finish your meal. There will be tasks for you later. Whether you can get a raise or not depends entirely on your ability. I won't help with this matter."
"Task? Increase salary?"
Chujiu and Zhang Jun hid in the corner and whispered for a long time. After coming out of the corner, Zhang Jun followed Chujiu with a charming smile on his face, looking like a qualified follower.
"Guo Guo, let's go out for a walk. We have to go back before we have a chance to see the scenery of the Loess Plateau."
All the way along the river to the locust tree in Dawang Village, it turned out that Chujiu was going to help choose a decent cemetery for the female corpse.
Last night, after gathering the souls of the female corpse on the ninth day of the lunar month, unexpectedly, a murder case from twenty years ago was revealed. The murderer was the owner of the yard in front of the big locust tree.
"It's all destined."
Perhaps the ultimate purpose of all the misunderstandings in this mission is to lead to this case and bring justice to the female corpse.
Twenty years ago, Cui'e, who had just turned seventeen, suddenly fell seriously ill. In order to treat Cui'e, her father borrowed 70 cents at high interest from Liu Sheng in the next village.
Cui'e's illness was cured, but she didn't know that the borrowed 70 cents would ruin Cui'e's family.
Liu Sheng was idle all day long and did not do his job. Because his father was a cadre in the village and his relatives were officials in the city, he did whatever he wanted in the surrounding villages.
When Cui'e's old father borrowed money, he made an agreement with Liu Sheng to pay back 75 cents in six months.
Taking advantage of the old man's illiteracy, Liu Sheng wrote on the IOU that he would pay seventy-five cents a month, and asked the old man to take his fingerprints.
For more than a year, Liu Sheng relied on the support of his family members to turn the two cave dwellings and dozens of acres of land owned by Cui'e's family into his own. Even so, Cui'e's family still owed Liu Sheng more than ten yuan.
In the 1970s, a dozen yuan was an astronomical figure for a banker.
After Liu Sheng led a group of people to cause trouble and left, Cui'e's old father became so angry that he committed suicide by drinking pesticide.
Not long after, Liu Sheng blocked Cui'e at the edge of the field and threatened that as long as Cui'e was willing to obey him, the debt would be written off and the house and land of Cui'e's family would be returned to Cui'e.
