Since Tang Wen and Tang Wu's accident, Tang Hui has replaced the two people and become the mainstay of Tangjiacun. He not only continues the medicinal material business in Tangjiacun, but also assumes political responsibilities. All of this is due to Zhu Tianlei. Therefore, Tang Hui's influence on
Zhu Tianlei's request is granted.
More than two hours later, Zhu Tianlei and Tang Hui sat in the cafe on Story Street.
It was still Longjueshan coffee, but Zhu Tianlei was able to drink it calmly, and he could actually taste the fragrance on his lips and tongue.
"Tian Lei, what happened?"
Tang Hui was already very smart. Although Zhu Tianlei hadn't spoken yet, he could immediately guess the reason why Zhu Tianlei was looking for him.
"Has anything happened in Tangjiacun recently, anything strange or unusual?"
After hearing Zhu Tianlei's words, Tang Hui immediately began to think.
"No, it's been normal in the village recently, nothing unusual has happened!"
Tang Hui thought for a while and then said.
"If there is anything wrong, it should be that Tang Jingchuan got seriously ill and died!"
"You said Tang Jingchuan is dead?"
Zhu Tianlei put down the cup in his hand.
"Yeah, I got an illness and it's gone."
"When did it happen?"?
"About two months ago!"
Two months ago, two months ago...
Zhu Tianlei calculated the time. In other words, it took almost the same time as Zhang Xuejiao and Qing Lang to go down the mountain. It almost counted the front and back feet.
Could it be such a coincidence?
"Do you know what the disease is?"
"I don't know, the illness came very quickly. It started in the morning, and the person died within two hours. The barefoot doctor in the village saw it and said it was myocardial infarction. Tang Jingchuan's heart has not been very good, especially Tang Wen and Tang Wu.
After the accident, I had frequent heart attacks, so everyone thought it was normal."
Tang Hui didn't think there was anything strange about this, but when he looked at Zhu Tianlei, he found that Zhu Tianlei's eyes were deep and his face was serious.
"Tian Lei, you...do you think there is something wrong with Tang Jingchuan's death?"
Tang Hui asked tentatively.
Logically speaking, he should talk to Zhu Tianlei about this matter, but because it happened so suddenly, he was too busy to get away, and Tang Wen and Tang Wu were already in captivity, so Tang Jingchuan was of little importance, but
Now, after seeing Zhu Tianlei's expression, he secretly regretted that he might have done something wrong.
"Apart from Tang Jingchuan, where are the others?"
"Everything is fine, nothing happened."
Tang Hui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhu Tianlei did not ask Tang Jingchuan again.
"Is no one missing too?"
"No, the population of Tangjia Village is not large to begin with, and except for a few people who do business with me in the medicinal materials market, no one else leaves the village."
Zhu Tianlei gritted his teeth.
"Has Tang Jingchuan's body been cremated?"
"No, Tangjia Village has its own family cemetery, which is located on Wuhu Mountain. When people die, they are buried directly without cremation."
Tang Hui quickly answered.
"Walk."
"What?"
Tang Hui was stunned. He had just sat down and hadn't said a few words yet!
"Go to Tangjiacun."
"Eh? Going to Tangjiacun?"
Tang Hui was even more confused. He had just come from Tangjiacun. If Zhu Tianlei had something to do, why didn't he go directly to Tangjiacun.
At this time, Zhu Tianlei had already stood up and went straight out the door without chatting with the little girl in the cafe as usual.
Tang Hui stood up in a hurry, and a light suddenly flashed in his head.
Could it be that Zhu Tianlei wanted to...
"Tianlei, you're not going to...dig a grave, are you?"
Tang Hui caught up with Zhu Tianlei and asked in a low voice, especially the word "dig a grave", which was almost inaudible.
"boarding."
Zhu Tianlei did not answer, but his actions already showed the answer.
Tang Hui felt sweat starting to form on his forehead.
Tangjiacun migrated from the Miao border. It was a very ancient village before. Many of the traditions it followed were passed down from ancient times, and it believed in the witch god.
In their concept, people are protected by the God of Witches and Gu when they are alive, so after death, the body must be dedicated to the God of Witches and Gu as a thank you to the God of Witches and Gu, and in this way, they can seek for their descendants.
Can continue to be blessed by the God of Witchcraft and Gu.
In other words, in Tangjiacun, once a person dies, the body no longer belongs to him or her, but to the witch god. Offending the corpse is offending the witch god. No one can bear this responsibility.
Even Tang Hui is well-informed and has received a relatively high level of education, but deep down in his heart, he is extremely reverent to the God of Witchcraft and Gu.
"Tian Lei, do we have to dig a grave?"
Tang Hui asked again after getting in the car.
"yes."
Zhu Tianlei now wanted to press the accelerator to the bottom.
Tang Hui's face looked really bad.
He knew that Zhu Tianlei was his benefactor and the noble person who reshaped his life. He should not have any resistance to Zhu Tianlei's request. However, his faith since childhood made him feel very uneasy, as if he could only touch Tang Jingchuan's grave.
, it will anger the witch god and bring disaster to Tangjiacun.
"Tian Lei, I know I shouldn't stop you, but in Tangjiacun, everything can be discussed and accommodated. Only touching the graves of the dead is an offense against the gods. If the villagers know about this, they will definitely
It will be stopped."
Tang Hui could even imagine the angry scene of the villagers.
Zhu Tianlei is indeed powerful, and his first two trips to Tangjiacun have indeed shocked the villagers, but that is because Tang Wen and Tang Wu have not a great relationship with them. For them, it does not matter who will be the mainstay of Tangjiacun.
, as long as their lives are not affected.
But digging graves is different. It is something that will affect the luck of the entire Tangjia Village. If the witch god is angered, every family will suffer. At that time, they will really have to fight hard.
"Just don't let anyone find out."
"There are people guarding the tomb, and not just one."
This is what makes Tangjiacun special.
Tangjiacun is a very strange village, because everyone in the village has the same race and surname, and they live a collectivist life. This has long ago led to the so-called Tang Wen and Tang Wu representing the political stance of Tangjiacun.
Tombs are no exception. They are cleaned and guarded by people recommended by the village.
"Then just play it by ear."
Tang Hui looked at Zhu Tianlei's side face, he was very determined, and knew in his heart that Zhu Tianlei was determined, and his attempts to persuade him were useless, so what should he do, what should he do?
Zhu Tianlei drove the car very fast, he wanted to confirm his guess.
Tang Hui has been thinking of a solution, but he really didn't think of any solution that could have the best of both worlds, which could satisfy Zhu Tianlei without offending the witch god.
Or take the secret path.
After entering the village entrance, Tang Hui stopped.
"Go directly to the cemetery."
Before Tang Hui could speak again, Zhu Tianlei blocked what Tang Hui wanted to say.
"Just show me the cemetery. Just don't go up there, lest I get into trouble later."
Zhu Tianlei also knew Tang Hui's concerns, and he really didn't need Tang Hui's help in this matter.
"Go up here and keep going east. There is a small forest. If you go through it, you can see Wuhu Mountain. If you go up a few hundred meters, you can see the cemetery."
Tang Hui stretched out his hand to point the way to Zhu Tianlei. Zhu Tianlei didn't say anything and walked quickly in the direction Tang Hui pointed. (To be continued)
