Chapter Thirteen: Hidden Corpse Under the Peach Blossom Tree
When these two people saw Boss Li, they panicked like they saw ghosts. They ran towards the other side of the house without saying a word. I immediately felt something was wrong and turned around and shouted, "Tail girl!"
Hearing my greeting, the little white fox tiptoed, and the man ran faster than the two of them. He blocked the door of the room. The woman saw that the little white fox had thin arms and legs, and there was not much meat except for her chest. She thought she was easy to bully, so she rushed towards the little white fox. As a result, the little girl didn't have such a good temper and kicked her directly, hitting the woman's open chest. With a "ouch", the man fell into the yard.
The short man saw that his wife was beaten, and immediately let out a roar from his throat and cursed at the little white fox: "Where did you come from? You dare to mess with someone in my house? I won't kill you!"
He spoke harshly, but as soon as he rushed forward, he stretched out his foot and kicked the little white fox, and fell to the mud in the yard with the woman.
The two of them rolled around the ground, and I walked into the room with Boss Li and his friend Li Da'ang. When the woman saw our posture, she immediately started to splash and sat on the ground without getting up. She cried in a cursing voice: "Oh, my god, come here, the foreigner bullies us honest rural people, come here..."
Early in the morning, in addition to the croaking and barking of chickens, the harder people in the village also got up and went to work. Suddenly, they heard such a howl, and the villagers in front of and behind the house surrounded them. These people were holding plows and hoes in their hands, giving people the feeling that they were coming to fight in groups.
Seeing this scene, Boss Li was a little weak. His business operations are focused on "harmony is the most important thing". It is really unwise to be surrounded by heavy siege. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. He pulled me and whispered: "Master Chen, this situation is a bit wrong. If all these villagers rushed up, none of us could stand it. Why not leave first and look back and find a way..."
I looked at the villagers who were surrounding him one after another, but I smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm not afraid of many people, but I'm afraid of no one. If something happens, stand back and I'll deal with it."
After saying this, I squatted in front of the woman and the short man who were acting tantrums on the ground, and said with a smile: "Hey, two, you all know the person behind me, are you?"
The short man turned his head and said, "Who knows you? I came up early in the morning and hit people without saying a word. You really think that there are no men in our Dongjia Village, right? Dear brothers and sisters, uncles and uncles, fellow villagers in the country, look, this big footprint is kicked - oh, oh, my stomach hurts, I must have kicked the internal organs..."
He rolled on the ground to pretend to be sick, but Boss Li was so angry that he took the cardboard box containing a porcelain jar in his hand, opened the lid, and said loudly: "Okay, Dong Er, take a closer look, what is this? Two weeks ago, I spent 800 yuan to buy the porcelain jar from your house. You also invited me to have a steamed bun and green onions. What's wrong? Have you forgotten now?"
Boss Li said it with a scrupulous look. When the woman saw that she could not hide it, she said with a stern tongue: "We sold it to you, so what? When doing business, you can buy it. If it is a tea product, it is also your own vision. What's going on when you come to the door?"
She saw that there were about twenty villagers gathered in the yard, and she felt that she had a backer and was more confident. She supported each other and stood up with a short man, Dong Lao Er, and saw that the door was pushed open a little, revealing the head of a ten-year-old boy. A pair of dark eyes looked out curiously, and immediately pointed at the child and scolded: "What are you looking at? Come back to death, close the door, don't let someone rush into the room, and turn our house upside down..."
The little boy seemed to be afraid of the woman, so he hurriedly retreated, and she followed her man to us in a fierce manner, insisting on asking for an explanation, at least he had to pay a little medical expenses.
Boss Li was speechless by her fierce attitude. He looked at me helplessly. I nodded toward me, indicating that I didn’t have to be nervous. Then the crowd came out and provoked the fortune telling photo I made on the occasion, and said loudly: "My fellow villagers, friends, the surname is Chen, the people in the Jianghu are called Iron-Tooth God Calculation Chen, and they eat it as a business of fortune telling with fingers. However, I learned from Maoshan and knew some skills in catching ghosts and killing monsters. I came here today, not for anything else, but because there was a ghost in the porcelain jar that Dong Laoer sold to my friend, so I came here to take a look..."
If this was in the city, it would be a consequence of smashing rotten eggs. However, in the countryside, people still had great respect for ghosts and gods. When they heard what I said, they stopped rushing forward, but instead whispered with the people next to them and talked a lot, which eased the scene.
Seeing this, the woman quickly said, "How is this porcelain jar in our house transmitted from the ancestors of the Dong family for generations. Some people have seen it. When has there ever been a ghost?"
I was not in a hurry to hear her rebuttal. I slowly told everyone about the strange things that Boss Li had encountered in the past two weeks, and then bowed to the surroundings and said, "My fellow villagers, we are here this time, and we are not ready to return the 800 yuan - the so-called transaction, as the elder sister said just now, is it called "Buying and Deciding on Leave the Hand," but think about it, the old lady in Boss Li's dream kept telling him the grievances. If we just come and take a look and investigate, isn't it a bit too perfunctory?"
I was kind, and others said it was reasonable. A lame man opened his mouth without a few teeth and said, "Oh, young man, the old lady you just mentioned is a bit similar to the old lady of Dong Laoer's family."
When he said this, the woman immediately jumped up like a cat with her tail stepped on. She pointed at the old man and scolded: "Guiziluo, don't curse my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law is very good. She lives with our uncle now. The city is much better than our poor and broken village."
"Oh?" I frowned and asked the woman, "Is that right? So your mother-in-law lives with your man's elder brother? Since that's the case, then give us the address of Brother Dong's second brother in the city, let's go over and take a look, it's fine."
Seeing that I was chasing me, the woman and Dong Laoer rolled their eyes and said angrily: "Who are you? You are the ones who are you? You can be called a policeman when you break the fortune teller. Why do you say you want to see it? Let me tell you?"
The couple said angrily, but I ignored them. Instead, I turned around and bowed to the lame old man who had just spoken, and then said, "This old man, I want to ask, when did Dong Laoer leave this village?"
The old lame man was scolded by the young man just now, and he was naturally angry. He was afraid of the fierceness of the Dong family's wife and didn't want to say more. However, when I asked, my attitude was good, and I couldn't stop talking. He said to me, "It took two or three weeks. We didn't know. I saw it coming out to bask in the sun yesterday. The next day I heard that someone was taken away-the boss of the Dong family heard that he had been working in the south, but he didn't hear that he had any prospects, so why did he take him away? This is really a bit strange. Besides, the fallen leaves return to their roots. No matter how good it is outside, isn't it said that 'Golden nests are not as good as their own doghouse'? The second child is a semi-paraly. When he is old, why should he run out to live?"
When I heard what the old man said, my brows frowned even tighter. I walked to the couple and said in a deep voice: "There was no news before. Why did people say it was gone? Besides, it is also a good thing to take my mother to the city to enjoy the happiness. Your elder brother hasn't been home for so many years, so why did he sneak up on him? It seems that he was afraid that people would know?"
The two of them were so reasonable that they were asked by me. After holding them in for a long time, Dong Lao Er cursed angrily: "We are happy to do whatever we want, can you keep it?"
I snorted and sneered, my face became serious, and I said in a deep voice: "You are right, I really have control over this matter - I suspect that you two have taken the blame on your own mother, otherwise an old man would not have such persistence and resentment and would never have been willing to leave the world..."
After hearing what I said clearly, Dong Lao Er's expression suddenly became strange, and he shouted loudly in horror: "What are you talking about?"
I waved my hand, and the little white fox began to rush into the house and began to search. But the couple wanted to go over and stop me, but I stood in front of them. After pushing and shoving, they found that they couldn't understand me at all, so they greeted the villagers next to me, but the people were not moving at all, obviously also surprised. Soon, the little white fox found a peach tree in the yard leaning against the earthen wall, looking at the floating soil on the ground, and said to me: "Brother, it should be here..."
I looked left and right and asked a guy smoking a drought-torn man next to the lame old man who borrowed a hoe and said he wanted to dig it open and take a look. The man didn't refuse and handed it to me. However, at this moment, the Dong Lao Er rushed towards me like crazy. I mercilessly reached out to grab it and restrained the man. Then, a few times of hoe were used, and there was movement under the floating soil.
