Villager of Destiny

Chapter 20

For the next three days, things became quiet again.

The old smoker was always with me.

From time to time, a wild dog is caught from outside and comes in.

The reason he gave me was always the same, it was an eyesore.

I knew it in my heart and didn't expose him, and every time I ate all the meat with him, I felt much more refreshed in my heart.

The previous depression also gradually disappeared.

In this way, three days passed.

On the fourth day, Niang'er Village suddenly became lively.

It's not because the village in front of me has changed drastically, but because a lot of outsiders suddenly came, and one of them is familiar to me. It was only when I saw him that I realized who the old smoker was talking about first.

That person was the first person who came to the village a few years ago.

He is also the only one who might actually marry a girl from Niang'er Village and leave.

His name is Liu Shan.

It's Liu Ming's uncle.

He doesn't seem to know that Liu Ming is dead, or there are still some things that I can't see that are affecting something. After he came to Niang'er Village, he found it immediately and didn't know when he was driven to Niang'er. The iron lump in the village ancestral hall, and talked for a long time with the air in the iron lump.

It's just that when I saw it at the time, I didn't think he was a fool like I did before.

But there is one more hope in my heart.

I hope Liu Ming and Zhuang Yue are not actually dead.

I hope everything I saw before was false.

But I didn't bother him, but after confirming with the old smoker that he was the one I was waiting for, I went back to the entrance of the village with the old smoker.

The old smoker was not surprised by the arrival of these outsiders.

Only I was shocked inside.

Because even after the old smoker told me the three life-saving conditions, I was a little dubious about the first condition.

After all, no one has come to Niang'er Village for so many years.

The arrival of Liu Mingzhuang Yue before was already very surprising.

The old smoker, or how could she be sure that someone would come?
This also made me believe more in what the old smoker said.

But this time the old smoker did not stay with me at the entrance of the village, but joined the group of people who followed Liu Shan to Niang'er Village, and soon mixed with that group of people.

I also heard some clues in their conversations.

The reason why they came was because of Zhuang Yue and Liu Ming.

The two of them seemed to have posted something about Niang'er Village before, which made them full of interest in this place, and the old smoker joined them. In the words of the old smoker, it was also to save them.

As for the others, the old smoker said that it has nothing to do with me.

Leave me alone.

As for Liu Shan, I just have to wait.

In short, Niang'er Village suddenly became lively.

Even in my eyes, this excitement is a bit weird.

But I still followed what the old smoker said, stayed quietly at the entrance of the village and continued to play the role of my fool.

It is that the wild dogs have become less and less in the past three days.

The remaining one or two also hid away after seeing me, which made me less happy.

No one paid any attention to me until nightfall. Those who entered Niang'er Village were immersed in it as if they had come to some place that fascinated them.

I don't want to follow them.

Go straight to the house.

I finally saw Liu Shan again, and he was kneeling in front of a room with tears on his face, and at some point there was a child who looked like three or four years old beside him.

is a boy.

I looked at him with mixed feelings for a while.

I couldn't help thinking of the night when Liu Shan came to Niang'er Village a few years ago, when I was burning paper money, I heard a woman talking in my ear.

She said that her sister was getting married.

She told me to burn more.

At that time, I was scared, but I burned a little more, and then Liu Shan left with a pack of paper money. Thinking about it now, maybe Liu Shan took that sister away at that time.

It's just that I can't see it.

Just like it is now.

I also couldn't tell what was real.

After thinking for a while, I walked to Liu Shan.

Only then did Liu Shan notice me. He had some doubts on his face, and then he seemed to think of me again. He subconsciously wiped away his tears and stood up from the ground in embarrassment.

"Fool, have you grown so big?"

I laughed and didn't answer him, but my eyes fell on the jar next to Liu Shan.

Liu Shan also noticed that I was looking at the jar, and subconsciously protected the jar on his body, but soon he seemed to remember something, and his face was a little more guilty.

"Fool, your sister is gone."

"She told me when she left that she wanted to go home."

"So I brought her."

Liu Shan couldn't stop crying as he spoke.

Suddenly, I also felt sore in the corner of my eyes. I don't know why, but I just feel blocked in my heart.

But I didn't speak, but looked at Liu Shan quietly. I didn't stop him until Liu Shan stood up holding the jar and was about to walk into the house.

Liu Shan was stunned for a moment, and then said bitterly: "Fool, I know that people who leave Niang'er Village will never come back here in this lifetime."

"But she's homesick."

"I just want to……"

Before he finished speaking, I snatched the jar.

I don't know what's in the jar, I can only be sure that this jar should be like a coffin, inside is the trace of Liu Shan's wife's existence in this world, I just need to bury her here with my own hands and that's enough.

It's just that in Liu Shan's eyes, I am a fool.

Since he is a fool, there is no need to say anything to Liu Shan, and he should do what a fool should do.

Seeing that I snatched the jar, Liu Shan was also anxious, and wanted to snatch it back immediately. Naturally, I would not give him a chance, so I ran home holding the jar.

Because Liu Shan still had a child with him, he couldn't catch up with me at all, and he was quickly left behind by me. When I got home, Liu Shan didn't even know where he was.

To my surprise, the old smoker seemed to know what I was going to do, and was already waiting for me in the house.

Seeing that I came back with the jar in my arms, the old smoker laughed and said, "You know you stole it?"

I rolled my eyes and said angrily, "What can I do if I don't grab it?"

"You didn't tell me whether you should continue to play a fool in front of them. Since I am playing a fool, I can't do what a fool should do?"

"Just tell me, what should I do now?"

The old smoker took a drag on his cigarette and threw the brazier to me.

"Work!"

I froze for a moment, but I saw that the old smoker was already sitting at the door where I had burned the paper money. I immediately understood, and went to the door with the jar in my arms. After putting it away, I went to get some paper money.

After getting ready, the old smoker continued: "People who have left Niang'er Village are generally not eligible to come back, let alone be buried here."

"But as a village guard, you won't have these taboos if you bury it with your own hands."

"And you can make a good relationship because of it."

"This is also the key to your life!"

"That is..."

"Replenish the soul!"
