After finally having a good night's sleep, I was woken up by a violent knock on the door early the next morning.
Before I even got up, I heard Niu Jianguo's voice like thunder coming from outside the door.
"Brother Fan, wake up, I know you are inside."
"Open the door, good guy, he actually slept in the widow's house..."
When I heard this, I quickly alerted myself. Damn it, sir, if you don't get up and open the door, Niu Jianguo's voice will be heard throughout Xiasha Village.
I quickly stood up and opened the door, only to see Niu Jianguo standing outside, biting a toothpick and looking at me with interest.
"Brother Fan, it's okay. How did you get along with Widow Yang? Why didn't I know about this, Fatty?"
I dragged Niu Jianguo in, and with a cold look in my eyes, I immediately frightened the guy so much that he didn't dare to say any more.
At this time, Sister Yang happened to get up too. She was wearing a thin silk pajamas. Although she had not applied any makeup, her pretty face still looked fresh in this early morning. As soon as she appeared, Niu Jianguo's eyes immediately turned.
Straight.
"Niang Pixi, why didn't I realize you were so good-looking before?" Niu Jianguo said with an annoyed look on his face, "If I knew you were so smart, Fatty, I would have chased you down no matter what."
A trace of embarrassment flashed in Sister Yang's eyes, and she said, "Niu Jianguo, what are you talking about?"
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing. Don't bully your friends' wives. Don't worry, I already know about your secret relationship with Brother Fan. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, it will be me who will have trouble with the fat man!"
Niu Jianguo patted his chest with a look of loyalty, which moved Sister Yang very much.
"Is it over yet?" I rolled my eyes and said, "Tell me, why are you looking for me so early in the morning?"
"Hehe, Fatty must be looking for you for something good!" Niu Jianguo gave it up, and then said calmly: "The fourth child you wanted my little brother to find has already been found, no, Fatty
I’ll tell you in person how it goes, isn’t it loyal enough?”
My mind was stunned and I was immediately overjoyed!
The work efficiency of Niu Jianguo and his younger brothers is really good. I didn't expect that the things I just handed over last night were completed this morning!
"Where are they?" I asked hurriedly.
Niu Jianguo shook his shoulders and said, "He's dead!"
"Dead?" I was shocked, somewhat caught off guard.
"That's right, you came just in time. The fourth child suddenly fell ill and died suddenly a few days ago. Hey, it's really pitiful. The only one left was a blind old mother. When she died, several relatives pooled money to buy a car.
He was buried in a thin-skinned coffin."
"Where is his home? Now take me to see it!"
I am full of anxiety. Damn it, I am just short of the last relic. At this juncture, the fourth child is actually dead. This is too much of a coincidence...
Niu Jianguo led me out of the house. Before leaving, Sister Yang asked me from behind if I wanted to have some breakfast. I shook my head and left. How could I be in the mood to have breakfast now?
Niu Jianguo, on the other hand, looked at me with his eyes all the way and said that Sister Yang was also famous for being tough in Xiasha Village. Which man wouldn't covet her body like a lotus, but no one could succeed.
Being moved into her home by me, a foreigner, Niu Jianguo was also curious about where my charm came from, which could actually make Sister Yang, who usually had her hands on her hips and scolded her, want to make breakfast for me...
I had a headache and thought that this damn fat guy is really a talker, so I immediately ignored him and went straight to the fourth child's house.
With Niu Jianguo leading the way, in less than ten minutes, I passed through most of Xiasha Village and arrived at the door of Laosi's house.
According to Niu Jianguo's words, Sha Village is actually divided into old village and new village. Nowadays, most of the people have gone to live in the new village. Only the old village is overgrown with weeds, and a few of the poorest families still vaguely live there.
Among them was the fourth child’s home.
I suddenly realized that it was no wonder that I couldn't find the fourth child after searching for two days. It was because their family lived here. There were collapsed old houses everywhere, and it was difficult to see an intact one. The ground was covered with weeds, and it was very desolate.
"Now, that's the fourth child's home. There are probably no more than ten families in the old village. They are all the poorest families in Xiasha Village." Niu Jianguo pointed to an old house not far away with peeling walls.
house road.
I walked closer and saw that the outside of the old house was covered with weeds and an old cow was tied up outside. As for the inside, it was completely dark.
"Then there is only an old mother left in the fourth family. It's a pity that she is blind. These days, when her son dies, the old woman stays at home and is unwilling to come out." Niu Jianguo said.
I entered the old house. The air inside was obviously turbid. As soon as I entered, I smelled a strong rancid smell. In the small house, there was a stove on the left and a kang on the right separated by a low wall.
At this time, an old man was sitting on the kang, leaning against the wall, mumbling something. Next to him were several steamed buns that had grown hairy and had gone bad.
"This is the old mother of the fourth child." Niu Jianguo said.
I nodded. There was almost no decent furniture in the house, so she was pretty poor. The old lady also had gray hair, and her clothes had a lot of patches. She probably hadn’t worn new clothes for several years; at home,
There wasn't even anything to eat, just a few spoiled steamed buns placed on the kang. I thought they might have been sent by kind people from the village...
"Grandma."
I shouted, trying not to scare the old man with my abrupt voice.
However, the old man seemed to be a bit deaf, and she didn't listen to me even after I called several times. Finally, Niu Jianguo shouted at the top of his lungs, which frightened the old woman and said hurriedly: "Who, who is here?"
"Grandma, it's me."
I took the initiative to step forward, and the old lady grabbed my hand and touched it a few times. She burst into tears and said, "Is that my fourth son? Is that your fourth son? Mom is so miserable..."
I was startled, thinking that this old lady actually thought I was the fourth child.
"Old grandma, I am a friend of the fourth child, and I came to see you today." I said.
"Oh, you're not Si'er? My Si'er is dead, dead... I can't even buy a coffin, my poor Si'er..."
The old man was really pitiful. His only son died suddenly and suddenly, and he himself was covered in diseases and couldn't even see. When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but feel a little sad, but now that I'm here, I still have to find the relic.
"Old grandma, I want to ask, did the fourth child leave anything for you before he left?" I asked.
"Stuff? There's nothing, nothing. Don't bully me. If you dare to steal something, don't blame me for being rude..."
As the old woman spoke, she took out a cane on the kang and struck it a few times as a threat to me.
I shook my head and smiled bitterly. The house was bare and there wasn't even anything valuable, so what could I steal?
I signaled Niu Jianguo to help me search around the house, but still found nothing. Seeing that I couldn't get anything out of the old lady's mouth, I could only sigh, take out a wad of money from my body and hand it to her.
