When Ying Qiao dawdles to the door of Jiang Jiu's house, he sees that the door is open. He should know that he is coming and open it specially.
In the living room, Jiang Jiu is packing his suitcase. The lion dragon and Jiaotu's things are packed in a suitcase, and even the flat board is taken with him.
As soon as he looked back, he saw Ying Qiao at the door and said, "are you coming? Would you like to have a rest first? "
At this time, Ying Qiao just wanted to go back and tidy himself up. He was afraid that he would notice that he was scribbled all over, and he had no mind to sit more. He only said vaguely, "no, you have to get up early tomorrow. I'll take them over, and you'll have an early rest."
Jiang Jiu gives the suitcase to Jiaotu, while lion dragon squats on the suitcase consciously.
"This week, I've been busy going to the countryside, so I'll trouble you to take care of them for the time being," Jiang explained to his two younger brothers' preferences, and specially told Ying Qiao, "don't let them play games for too long, four hours a day at most."
"I will go to see you when I have a rest. Don't make trouble for Ying Qiao," he said
Both brothers should be good.
Jiang Jiu is not at ease to finish, just will younger brother to should Qiao.
Ying Qiao has been careful to keep a distance from him, and he was quietly relieved to see that he didn't notice his scribbled description. Fearing that Jiang would notice after staying for a long time, he exchanged a few greetings at the door and said goodbye to Jiang. He picked up the lion dragon in one hand and took the suitcase in the other and went downstairs.
Jiang Jiu wanted to send them down, but they were all stopped by Ying Qiao.
*
Seeing off Ying Qiao and his younger brother, Jiang Shu puts the things he will bring tomorrow into his bag and washes early to have a rest.
At 5:30 the next day, just after dawn, Jiang Zhou got into Xue Meng's car and set out for Sanshui village.
With the road map Xiao Xiaoyu sent out yesterday, they had a much smoother journey. They didn't take a detour. They arrived at the entrance of the village about a quarter past eight.
Maybe it's cloudy. Today's Sanshui village looks gloomy. There is a thin black man with a hunchback at the entrance of the village. When he saw their car, he waved. According to his figure and clothes, it should be Huang Youtian, the village branch secretary.
Jiang Shu stops his car under the big tree at the entrance of the village, and Huang Zhishu comes up. When he sees Jiang Shu and Xue Meng, he looks stunned. He rubs his hands and asks, "why didn't the female comrades come yesterday?"
"We are her colleagues. The leader arranged us to come here in turn." Jiang Jiu always thinks that it's strange for him to ask Xiao Xiaoyu as soon as he comes up, so he can't help looking at him more.
The man is black and thin, a head shorter than him. I don't know the exact age, but only by looking at the frost on his face, he is estimated to be in his fifties. The palm is broad and rough. It looks like a farmer in the field. Even his face also has the unique honesty of the farmers.
"Well, please come in. Yesterday two comrades helped us a lot and said they would solve our difficulties."
Huang Zhishu seemed to mention it casually. After that, he didn't ask any more questions. He only warmly asked them to sit at home first, then asked if they had breakfast, and called his mother-in-law to cook some eggs for them.
Jiang Shu and Xue Meng ate bread on the way, but naturally they quickly refused and said they had eaten it.
Sanshui village is really poor. Even if they don't have breakfast, they are embarrassed to ask the village branch secretary to spend money to prepare breakfast for them.
Seeing that they were not polite, Huang Zhishu stopped persuading them and took them around the village to get a general idea of the situation.
There are not many households in Sanshui village. After Jiang Shu counted them, there are only more than 30 households, which is different from the 45 households shown in the data. Many of the houses were empty and deserted.
Jiang Jiu was puzzled, so he asked: "have the owners of these empty houses left the village?"
"Yes, all of them." Huang Zhishu looked at the vacant houses and saw more and more vicissitudes.
"We are the only ones who are half buried in the earth, waiting to die in the village."
Xue Meng was very close to his grandfather. He couldn't hear the old man say these words. He said quickly, "don't say these words of frustration. After the road is built in the village and the tap water is supplied, life will be better."
Huang Zhishu laughed, rubbed his rough palm and said, "yes."
"This time, we are here to give a head start to the comrades of the Poverty Alleviation Office. First, we will understand their difficulties and ideas. When the comrades of the Poverty Alleviation Office come back, we will try our best to solve the difficulties for you..."
Xue Meng gave full play to the nature of his speech. He had obviously forgotten his fear before he came here. He had a good chat with Huang Zhishu.
Jiang Jiu followed them, glancing over old houses.
It's probably because of the bad weather and no lights, the houses look dark. Jiang Jiu lightly looked away and went to see a family in front of the funeral.
There was no one in the village because the villagers gathered in front of the house where the funeral was held.
At a glance, there are more men and less women, and most of them are middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s. There are only a few young people and children.
They stand in two rows on both sides of the master's door. In the middle of the main room is a black coffin. In front of the coffin, there is a middle-aged couple kneeling. Kowtow to the coffin.
The atmosphere was very solemn.
After kowtowing, the middle-aged couple helped each other up and said in a trembling voice: "wake up!"
Then there were four strong men waiting on one side, one by one, lifting the coffin and burying it in the woods to the north of the village.
Jiang Shu and Xue Meng are watching the ceremony. Xue Meng and Huang Zhishu are already familiar with each other, and each uncle cries out: "do we still have earth burials in our village? Now the State advocates cremation, environmental protection. "
Huang Zhishu looked back at him, but his eyes didn't turn for a long time.
Xue Meng was a little annoyed by him and gave a dry smile.
Huang Zhishu took back his eyes and said with a strange smile: "this set of Customs in the village has been popular for many years, and they have been changed in a disorderly way. I'm afraid they will anger our ancestors and kill us."
Xue Meng knew that cremation was taboo in some villages, so he stopped talking about it and changed the topic to ease the awkward and stiff atmosphere: "yesterday Xiaoyu said that the fat in Mrs. Huang's field had not been finished, let's continue today. When the funeral is over in the afternoon, I'd like to ask you to gather us together. We'll do an investigation and mobilization on the intention of going out to work. When the number of applicants is confirmed, we'll go to contact the surrounding enterprises and factories to fight for jobs for you. "
Huang Zhishu rubbed his hands and said, "good."
"Huang Po's field is finished, so I don't need to trouble you. It's hard for you to go all the way, but when you catch up with the funeral in the village, you'll have a rest in the morning and I'll call someone for you when everyone comes back in the afternoon. "
Then he led Jiang Jiu and Xue Meng to his home to sit down. Huang Zhishu's wife brought two bowls of tea. The bowl is an open porcelain bowl for eating. The black stem soaked in it should be inferior tea stem. When you hold it in your hand, you can smell a bitter taste.
Two people in order to show respect, drink two just put down the bowl.
When Huang Zhishu saw that they had drunk tea, he picked up the water flue beside them: "I have to go and have a look over the cemetery. Let's have a rest here first."
Then he left, and his wife went into the back room again, never saying a word to them from the beginning to the end.
As soon as they left, they were the only two left in the room.
Today's weather is not good. There is still some sun when I go out. When I get to the village, it's completely overcast. There are thick clouds on my head, which make the sky gray.
After sitting for a while, Xue Meng couldn't sit still. He had a few words with Xiao Xiaoyu in the group, but he always suggested that the message failed to be sent, so he suggested, "let's go outside."
Jiang Jiu nods and goes out with him, but stops in front of an empty room and looks inside.
I don't know how long this kind of old house has been deserted. The doors and windows are closed. I can only see it from half of the broken windows.
Xue Meng followed him and looked in: "heibulongdong is creepy. What do you think of this?"
He always had a big heart. Before he came, he murmured that he had brought a peace talisman. When he came to the village, he had a chat with Huang Zhishu, and almost regarded himself as a villager.
Jiang Gu glanced at him and said, "don't you find something wrong with this room?"
"What's the problem?" Xue Meng extended his head and looked at it again. He was gradually frightened: "is there a ghost in it?"
Jiang Shu
Turning Xue Meng's face to the window, Jiang Chupi said with a smile, "don't you find that all the furniture in these houses are complete
If the house had not been covered with dust, it would not have looked like a deserted house without owners.
Xue Meng took another close look and said, "yes."
He even saw the changed clothes on the bamboo bed, as if the owner had just left temporarily.
"But didn't Huang Zhishu say that all these people have moved away?"
Jiang Gu looked at him without expression: "you don't take anything when you move?"
"What's more, he's talking about leaving, not moving."
Chinese is broad and profound, people go, there are many meanings.
It could be moving, it could be... Dead.
Xue Meng obviously understood what he meant. He was at a loss and said, "maybe the master's family is going to come back in the future? Didn't you remove the furniture? "
Jiang Shu shook his head: "just along the way, I observed the vacant house. There was nothing missing in it."
One can also be said to be a coincidence. If it's all like this, it's obviously a problem.
Xue Meng still couldn't figure it out: "but there are more than ten families. There are only two people in a family, and there are more than twenty people, right? How could they all be dead? "
The information they got was the statistical information of last year. At that time, the data showed that there were still 45 households in the village. How could it be that more than 10 households died in a year? It's too scary.
"Maybe someone died long ago but didn't close the account, or maybe something happened in the village."
Jiang Shu was very calm. As soon as he turned his steps, he went to the north woods and said, "go to the cemetery and have a look. You should have some clue."
Generally speaking, there are cemeteries in the village. Looking at the direction of the four men carrying coffins, the cemeteries should be over there. It's just blocked by a forest and can't be seen from the village.
Xue Meng was a little confused, but seeing Jiang's calm face, he was a little calm, and followed him step by step.
The grass in the village is very strong. They follow the trail of the grass trampled by the villagers and get close to the forest soon.
The area of the forest is quite large. It's estimated that it will take about ten minutes to go through. After walking inside for a while, they vaguely saw a black building standing at the other end of the forest. It was about two or three stories high and cylindrical. They couldn't see what it was for.
Two people are trying to speed up the pace to the front to have a look, but unexpectedly head-on ran into Huang Zhishu.
Both sides looked at each other in a daze.
Huang Zhishu suddenly became ferocious: "how did you come here?"
Xue Meng was frightened by his twisted expression. He didn't answer for a moment. Huang Zhishu didn't seem to be the same person just now.
Jiang Jiu stepped forward and said naturally, "it's too boring to stay in the house, and the mobile phone signal is not very good, so come to the woods for air."
He seemed puzzled: "can't we come here?"
Huang Zhishu turned his eyes and looked at them for a long time. Then he said in a strange tone: "there is a cemetery in the village in the woods. Outsiders can't go in. They are afraid that they will collide with their ancestors."
Jiang Shu gave a push and said, "sorry, we don't know. Let's go back. Is the funeral over? "
Huang Zhishu said, "wait a little longer, and they will all be back in an hour. I'll call someone back then. "
Jiang said with a smile, and the three went back to the village together.

"Huang Zhishu looked back at him, but his eyes didn't turn for a long time.Xue Meng was a little annoyed by him and gave a dry smile.Huang Zhishu took back his eyes and said with a strange smile: "this set of Customs in the village has been popular for many years, and they have been changed in a disorderly way. I'm afraid they will anger our ancestors and kill us."Xue Meng knew that cremation was taboo in some villages, so he stopped talking about it and changed the topic to ease the awkward and stiff atmosphere: "yesterday Xiaoyu said that the fat in Mrs. Huang's field had not been finished, let's continue today. When the funeral is over in the afternoon, I'd like to ask you to gather us together. We'll do an investigation and mobilization on the intention of going out to work. When the number of applicants is confirmed, we'll go to contact the surrounding enterprises and factories to fight for jobs for you. "Huang Zhishu rubbed his hands and said, "good.""Huang Po's field is finished, so I don't need to trouble you. It's hard for you to go all the way, but when you catch up with the funeral in the village, you'll have a rest in the morning and I'll call someone for you when everyone comes back in the afternoon. "Then he led Jiang Jiu and Xue Meng to his home to sit down. Huang Zhishu's wife brought two bowls of tea. The bowl is an open porcelain bowl for eating. The black stem soaked in it should be inferior tea stem. When you hold it in your hand, you can smell a bitter taste.Two people in order to show respect, drink two just put down the bowl.When Huang Zhishu saw that they had drunk tea, he picked up the water flue beside them: "I have to go and have a look over the cemetery. Let's have a rest here first."Then he left, and his wife went into the back room again, never saying a word to them from the beginning to the end.As soon as they left, they were the only two left in the room.Today's weather is not good. There is still some sun when I go out. When I get to the village, it's completely overcast. There are thick clouds on my head, which make the sky gray.After sitting for a while, Xue Meng couldn't sit still. He had a few words with Xiao Xiaoyu in the group, but he always suggested that the message failed to be sent, so he suggested, "let's go outside."Jiang Jiu nods and goes out with him, but stops in front of an empty room and looks inside.I don't know how long this kind of old house has been deserted. The doors and windows are closed. I can only see it from half of the broken windows.Xue Meng followed him and looked in: "heibulongdong is creepy. What do you think of this?"He always had a big heart. Before he came, he murmured that he had brought a peace talisman. When he came to the village, he had a chat with Huang Zhishu, and almost regarded himself as a villager.Jiang Gu glanced at him and said, "don't you find something wrong with this room?""What's the problem?" Xue Meng extended his head and looked at it again. He was gradually frightened: "is there a ghost in it?"Jiang ShuTurning Xue Meng's face to the window, Jiang Chupi said with a smile, "don't you find that all the furniture in these houses are completeIf the house had not been covered with dust, it would not have looked like a deserted house without owners.Xue Meng took another close look and said, "yes."He even saw the changed clothes on the bamboo bed, as if the owner had just left temporarily."But didn't Huang Zhishu say that all these people have moved away?"Jiang Gu looked at him without expression: "you don't take anything when you move?""What's more, he's talking about leaving, not moving."Chinese is broad and profound, people go, there are many meanings.It could be moving, it could be... Dead.Xue Meng obviously understood what he meant. He was at a loss and said, "maybe the master's family is going to come back in the future? Didn't you remove the furniture? "Jiang Shu shook his head: "just along the way, I observed the vacant house. There was nothing missing in it."One can also be said to be a coincidence. If it's all like this, it's obviously a problem.Xue Meng still couldn't figure it out: "but there are more than ten families. There are only two people in a family, and there are more than twenty people, right? How could they all be dead? "The information they got was the statistical information of last year. At that time, the data showed that there were still 45 households in the village. How could it be that more than 10 households died in a year? It's too scary."Maybe someone died long ago but didn't close the account, or maybe something happened in the village."Jiang Shu was very calm. As soon as he turned his steps, he went to the north woods and said, "go to the cemetery and have a look. You should have some clue."Generally speaking, there are cemeteries in the village. Looking at the direction of the four men carrying coffins, the cemeteries should be over there. It's just blocked by a forest and can't be seen from the village.Xue Meng was a little confused, but seeing Jiang's calm face, he was a little calm, and followed him step by step.The grass in the village is very strong. They follow the trail of the grass trampled by the villagers and get close to the forest soon.The area of the forest is quite large. It's estimated that it will take about ten minutes to go through. After walking inside for a while, they vaguely saw a black building standing at the other end of the forest. It was about two or three stories high and cylindrical. They couldn't see what it was for.Two people are trying to speed up the pace to the front to have a look, but unexpectedly head-on ran into Huang Zhishu.Both sides looked at each other in a daze.Huang Zhishu suddenly became ferocious: "how did you come here?"Xue Meng was frightened by his twisted expression. He didn't answer for a moment. Huang Zhishu didn't seem to be the same person just now.Jiang Jiu stepped forward and said naturally, "it's too boring to stay in the house, and the mobile phone signal is not very good, so come to the woods for air."He seemed puzzled: "can't we come here?"Huang Zhishu turned his eyes and looked at them for a long time. Then he said in a strange tone: "there is a cemetery in the village in the woods. Outsiders can't go in. They are afraid that they will collide with their ancestors."Jiang Shu gave a push and said, "sorry, we don't know. Let's go back. Is the funeral over? "Huang Zhishu said, "wait a little longer, and they will all be back in an hour. I'll call someone back then. "Jiang said with a smile, and the three went back to the village together.#A group chat record#Long long: I have two more cubs in my family.Long long: a family of four, don't be too envious.Others: quit group chat.Second watch is coming. Draw 100 red packets, jomi!Bet you can't guess what monster it is this time!
