Mrs. Hu

HLJ, Suihua.

This is a not very developed city on the Songnen Plain. It is only about an hour's drive away from the provincial capital Harbin.

The woman in the video committed suicide here because she was a migrant and had not registered locally. In addition, Tianmeng really didn't care too much. The information they gave us didn't even include the woman's name, occupation or anything else. We

I could only hope that the people from the Hu Clan would give me more clues and information, while I went to investigate these trivial things myself. When passing through Beilin, I simply went directly to the place where the woman committed suicide.

Fortunately, Beilin is not a big place, and there is only one really prosperous main street. The woman happened to be in trouble on this street, so she is very easy to find.

It has been a while since this incident occurred. The death scene has been cleaned up, but for some unknown reason, the basement has not been renovated on a large scale, including the doors that were damaged during the fire and have not been replaced.

Seeing that there was no one around, a few of us simply went inside and took a look around. Except for the walls that were burned black, the inside was empty and no traces were left.

This is expected.

Afterwards, we chatted for a while with the old man who was playing chess on the doorstep. Several old men were residents of this building.

The result was unsatisfactory. The old men knew very little about this woman. They only knew that she seemed to have a son. They didn’t know his name at all. He was indeed an outsider. He seemed to be here to accompany his son. The house was also rented and the basement was

The landlord left it to her. The landlord's family lived abroad, and the house was directly entrusted to the agency. After the accident, the landlord never came back because the house had never been rented out again because someone died.

As for which intermediary is managing the house and what the woman's son does, the old man doesn't know.

This city is not big, but it is not too small either. It was a bit difficult for us, a group of outsiders, to find such an agency, so we simply gave up and drove directly to Mingshui County below Suihua, a not-so-big county with a loss of people.

It is very serious. Most young people have gone to work outside. The entire county is in depression and there are very few people. The family of the big shopkeeper of Hu family lives here, but not in the county, but in an extremely marginalized area.

The location, as the largest of the four gates, is not as wealthy as we imagined, and there is no majestic mountain gate. It is just a simple farmhouse with a few rooms and a small vegetable patch in the yard.

This is probably also a characteristic of the four gates and the five great immortal families. They rarely stick together and join together in some mountain gate. They basically work on their own and live like ordinary people.

When we arrived here, it was already close to noon.

The car parked outside the courtyard gate. Seeing that the door was wide open, he let himself in uninvited.

In the yard, an old lady in her sixties was cleaning the vegetable patch. She had gray hair, deep wrinkles, and a calm demeanor. She looked like an ordinary old woman no matter what.

But I know that this old lady has a very high status in the family of the Four Gates and Five Immortals. If nothing unexpected happens, she is Mrs. Hu from the Hu family!

The people of the four gates basically follow the same style of the five immortal families in terms of titles. They use family seniority as the honorific title. Those who can be called Taiye or Tai Nai are of extremely high seniority. Don't look at Mrs. Hu.

She looks like an old country woman, but she has a high status in the Taoist industry. It is said that the big shopkeeper of the Hu family, Mr. Hu, is a very chivalrous person. He is highly respected and upholds the right path. He is absolutely unmatched by the four or five great immortal families in the past.

People's evil feelings are very popular among people. Mrs. Hu married Mr. Hu when she was a teenager, and she never left her for decades through thick and thin. The people of Xuanmen respected her even more than Mr. Hu did for three years.

It's a pity that the old man huddles in this small county in the northeast and refuses to go out. If he goes out for a walk, I'm afraid it won't be too much for the head of the house to come out to greet him.

Although we are here to help, in front of Mrs. Hu, we are still juniors, so we must have some etiquette. Otherwise, if we say it, others will laugh at us.

We have become barbarians, so when we came to visit this time, we carried some things with us and were very respectful.

"Don't be polite, little dolls!"

It seems that Tianmeng has notified us of our arrival time. Mrs. Hu was not surprised at all by our arrival. She didn’t even ask our names. When she saw us arriving, her face was filled with a kind smile. From the vegetable field

Li stood up, washed his hands with the water poured on the floor, and wiped them on his apron. He immediately came up to me and took my hand. He dragged me and walked into the house. As he walked, he said: "Although Lao Li'er is getting in the car."

The dumplings are out of the noodles, but these children are all miserable people. Who would be lucky enough to join this shabby industry? I'm afraid you will have to work for those useless things in our family, so I won't give them to you.

When you make noodles, you make dumplings. As the old saying goes, dumplings are the same as the soles of your feet. I hope you can have good foot strength so that you can run faster when you encounter things you can't twist!"

The old lady was so kind, and it was easy to get rid of the feeling of unfamiliarity. I was originally made uncomfortable by her, but I gradually relaxed. Seeing her calm demeanor, I hesitated and asked: "Mr. Hu, something happened to them, are you?"

Aren’t you worried about this?”

"What's the use of worrying?"

The old lady said in a joking tone: "That old guy is not a peaceful person by nature. It took him eight lifetimes to marry him. But he has been like this for decades. I can't regret it now. I can't."

Remarry? Look at Tai Nai’s age and appearance. Even if she wants to leave the old thing and remarry, would anyone still want it? This life is just like this. There are too many things that the old thing has done.

, I'm used to it, this time I told him, he's a lot of years old, he's no better than when he was young, don't toss it, say goodbye, toss away those old bones, work hard all your life, and be euthanasia.

Isn't it bad? He was still not convinced, and he glared at me. Hey, this is great. I really confessed myself. What can I do if I am left as a blind old woman? I can't slay demons.

I can only wait here helplessly for that old guy. If something happens to him, at worst I can go with him, which is worthy of him! I just feel sorry for my children. Fortunately, my younger son is obedient and listened.

I persuaded you to stay away from this old thing a long time ago, and you gave me a happy little grandchild. If you don't get involved in this business again, it won't be considered as the end of your family. What else can an old woman ask for?

This is already very good, everything is very good. The children also listened to Tai Nai's words. This time, if you can save the old thing, you can save it. If you can't save it, just leave him there to die. He survived for a while.

You're a lot of years old, it's not a loss, you are young and young, don't send yourselves into it...

As for my children...

well……

It’s all life!”

The old lady kept talking non-stop, which was a little warm, but also a little sad for no reason. It's hard to describe my mood at this moment.

Brother Yaozi asked curiously: "You mean...you are not from our line of work?"

"Do you think I look like me? I'm just an ordinary blind old woman..."

Mrs. Hu shook her head and laughed, and sighed: "No matter how talented this person is, in the end he is still a human being. If you treat him better and don't ask for anything from him, you can finally get rid of the heart in your belly."

My wife is a natural person who likes to worry about others, but she has left some affection in some people's hearts. In addition, as I am getting older, everyone just regards me as an elder they can rely on.

How can it be so mysterious? If I had the ability to connect yin and yang, I would have gone to find that old man long ago..."

I looked at Mrs. Hu with some surprise, she was really...

Hu Clan's head shopkeeper and his wife, who are regarded as giants in the Taoist industry, turn out to be ordinary people who know nothing!

While chatting, Mrs. Hu led us into the house. After sitting down on the sofa, Brother Yaozi impatiently asked Mrs. Hu if she had any clues about the matter. We needed more information.

"They are all bloody things involving fighting, life and death, how can they be so urgent? The old man has been missing for a while, everything that should happen has happened, and what should not happen, will not happen.

Don’t worry, the kids are all starving, right? Let’s eat the dumplings later!”

Mrs. Hu poured water for us and went into the back room, minding her own business. At the same time, she said: "But things have indeed become clearer. Several of the children I took care of in the past heard about the old man's affairs.

It helped a lot!”

While she was talking, she had already walked to the stove in the back room. Steam was steaming from the big country above, filling the air with the aroma of dumplings. It seemed that the old lady's calculation was accurate and the dumplings were already cooked.

However, the moment Mrs. Hu opened the lid of the pot, her expression immediately changed. The old lady who had been kind-hearted just now started to curse for no apparent reason: "Where are the dumplings? Where are my dumplings? Who the hell stole my dumplings?"

Is there a mother who doesn’t have a father to teach her? If you just do these immoral things and commit petty theft, you won’t be afraid of going to the underworld and having your hands and feet chopped off..."

A series of national curses lasted for a long time, and it was extremely difficult to hear...

It’s hard to imagine that a kind old lady could curse so harshly...

After scolding, Mrs. Hu immediately put the lid on the pot, turned around and took out the plates and bowls from the cabinet next to her, returned to the stove, opened the lid, put a kind smile on her face again, and scooped out a spoon.

A colorful dumpling...

Dumplings are back again?

I was a little dizzy from this series of operations. Immediately, my heart moved and I felt something approaching me.

I immediately closed my eyes, released my energy, looked around, and then... finally saw the thing approaching...
