Mystery Leaks

Chapter 91
Thinking about it this time, I vaguely felt that there seemed to be a connection between these people.

First of all, the old man of the Feng family, he scolded my grandfather for not filling that well, saying that there is a Dragon Lord below, and if he filled it, he would be punished by God.

Thinking about it this time, Feng Qiantou scolded me similarly when I dug my grandfather's grave. He also said that my grandfather was not a good person, that he ruined the Feng Shui in the village, and that all those messy things were caused by my grandfather.

If Feng Qiang was the first person to say it, it might be nonsense.But since the two generations of the Feng family have said so, things seem to be a little confusing.

And Magu's relative, she didn't mention any Feng Shui, but she just greeted the ancestors of the Meng family, a very pungent old lady, who seemed to be still alive.

I thought to myself, should I visit her and ask what happened to the well?

But before that, it is more important to contact Huang Mao and Hu Lai first. Whether the well should be dug or not is a big problem.

Grandpa must have considered it when he filled it out, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand up to other people's scolding and get poked in the back.

But what left me speechless was that Huang Mao's phone still couldn't be connected, and the link was dropped at a critical moment.

For a while, I didn't know what to do. Those villagers would definitely come to my door in a short time, and I had to come up with a way to answer or not.

As the saying goes, people can't stand talking about it.

As soon as I finished reading this, people came outside, much faster than I expected. There were more than a dozen people in the motley group, including peasants, young people, and old people.

The leader was an old man with a gray beard. I recognized him. Everyone called him Liu Bogong. He was over 60, and he was a relatively prestigious elder among the dozens of families.

They obviously didn't imagine that I might refuse. Although there were so many people, they didn't feel like overwhelming them. They just followed to ask for a nod.After all, in their view, digging a sealed ancient well is a windfall, and they have no reason not to agree.

"Boss Meng, business is good." Uncle Liu said with a smile.

I didn't dare to take it too seriously, so I stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, do you have something to do? Sit down and I'll make you some tea."

After I finished speaking, I moved a chair, and then I was going to make tea.Regardless of whether they agree to this matter or not, they cannot be neglected first, especially Liu Bogong. If a conflict arises, with him around, the matter will not develop to the worst.

If people are kept away thousands of miles from the beginning, they are likely to dig directly without saying a word.Liu Bogong is a reasonable elder, others may not.

"Don't bother, the old man is here today to intercede with Boss Mengmeng on behalf of everyone. He wants to get a well in your peach grove. Can you see if this can be convenient? Right now the rice seedlings are earing, and the harvest seems to be dead I really can't do anything about it." Liu Bogong said, and bowed his hands to me very modestly.

The people behind all agreed, saying that it would be convenient for everyone, and they would all think of me in the future.

I didn't know what to do for a while, if the three brothers of the Tu family didn't show up, but if they were going to get a water source, I would agree without giving money.But the intervention of the three brothers of the Tu family to persecute them shows that digging a well is not so simple, and they instinctively reject and reject them.

I hesitated and didn't answer in time.

Uncle Liu was a little surprised when he saw this, and said, "Boss Meng, is there any difficulty?"

"This……"

I was cornered at once, and I was thinking how to procrastinate for a while, and wait for Huangmao and Hu Lai to come back to make a decision.Cao Nan reacted one step faster than me, and said: "Oh, Uncle Liu is like this. I was discussing this with Leizi just now. There is such a problem. Leizi's grandfather must be clear to everyone, and he has been disturbed several times. , this spring is not too far away from his grandfather's private house, Leizi is afraid of disturbing his grandfather again, so he wants to ask Master Hu Lai, if it doesn't disturb, there is no problem, if it disturbs, then he has to find a way to solve it. So , it is not easy to promise at the moment."

"Master Hu, I know. He saved three people. He is a living god." Liu Bogong nodded seriously after listening to me, and then asked me: "Then when do you think you can answer, right now is the critical season for the earing of rice. , if it is too late, even if the harvest does not stop, the production will be greatly reduced."

When the people behind heard that there was a problem, they were a little anxious and whispered, and the atmosphere inevitably became a little restless.

Cao Nan couldn't answer, so he gave me a look.

"One day, give me one day." I said, Huang Mao and Hu Lai should come back in one day, and I will discuss it with them before making a decision. If it doesn't work, I won't agree anyway.

Although Liu Bogong was a little anxious, he didn't want to say much, so he said he would come back tomorrow, and then comforted the people behind him, telling everyone to wait.Everyone was unwilling, but they couldn't say anything when Uncle Liu said something, so they left with Uncle Liu.

I hurriedly took out the phone and called Huang Mao again, but it still didn't work. I was so anxious that I almost smashed the phone. I couldn't wait to see him. Where did he go?

After thinking about it, I think this matter can't wait, I have to find out about the well, otherwise Huang Mao and Hu Lai will have to be caught blind, after all, they have never seen the well.

So I asked Magu's relative, the old lady's name. I didn't know if she had passed away. It felt like I hadn't seen her for a long time. She was a round older than my grandfather, and I guess she was seventy or eighty now.

Cao Nan thought for a while and said, "Yes, her name is Grandma Qiu, but she is not in the village now. Her grandson has taken him to the county town. I have to ask where he lives."

"Okay, let's go to the county seat now!" I made a quick decision, a day is gone in a blink of an eye, and there is no time to delay.

Cao Nan said yes, he will drive a pickup and go with me.

On the way, Cao Nan asked someone for the address. It was in a nice neighborhood in the county. Grandma Qiu’s grandson was said to be doing business along the coast and had a small fortune. What's convenient.

It was already noon in the county seat, we ate something first, bought some fruit, and finally found the door after several rounds.

I knocked on the door, and there was a reply from inside, but when the door opened, the person standing inside surprised me.

Magu!

She is Grandma Qiu's niece, she did not expect to be here. In her 40s, with a wide mouth and sharp eyes, she looks like a eloquent and shrewd woman. Xu Jiaojiao and I are her matchmakers.

Magu opened the door with a smile, but when she saw me, her smile froze. She didn't expect to see me here, and I didn't expect to see her here either.

"Magu, what a coincidence."

I smiled, Xu Jiaojiao's engagement to me was a conspiracy, but it's not clear whether Magu was involved, I only know that she knows a little about wedding rituals, and ran away when she heard something was wrong in the village, but she didn't expect to hide here .

"Ah... yes, what a coincidence." Magu's complexion changed rapidly, and she returned to smiling, and said, "You...why did you come here?"

"Oh, I'm here to ask Grandma Qiu to find out something." I said, although I wanted to ask her some questions, but now is not the time, so I should clarify the matter of the well first.

Magu's eyes flickered, and said: "Well, my aunt is asleep, the old man's health is not very good recently, why don't you guys..."

"Who's outside? Why don't you come in?" As a result, she didn't finish speaking when the old man's voice came from inside.

"Uh, this is...waking up, haha." Magu immediately opened the door with embarrassment, and let us in.

Cao Nan and I entered the hallway and went into the house to have a look, we were a little surprised.

It's so big. The layout of this house is obviously much larger than the plan. It looks like two houses have been connected, and the decoration is also very luxurious and grand.

At this moment, Grandma Qiu was sitting on the sofa, she was much older than she remembered, and she was looking at a photo album with presbyopic glasses.

Seeing this, Cao Nan and I looked at each other, Magu was lying just now, and Grandma Qiu was not asleep at all.

Grandma Qiu's eyes were already cloudy, and her eyesight was obviously very bad. She asked, "Who is this guest? My old lady can't see anymore."

"Grandma Qiu, it's me, Meng Lei, do you still remember? Cao Nan is next to me." I said, and handed the fruit to Magu, who took it and poured tea for us. It's been a long time, maybe she has been serving Grandma Qiu.

"Oh, remember, it's Meng Yanji's grandson, he's grown up so much, sit down." Grandma Qiu said, her temper seemed to be much better than before. go out.

After we sat down, Magu served tea again, and Grandma Qiu asked, "I heard your grandpa passed away a few years ago?"

"Oh, yes, almost three years." I said.

Magu originally had her back to us, but she tilted her head unconsciously.

"I told him back then that the well couldn't be filled, or he would be punished by the gods, but he didn't listen." Grandma Qiu sighed, and said again: "It's time to repay it, my old sister has not lived for a few years. Sickness, I have lived to be almost [-], your grandfather is tough, and he will go to [-], oh..."

As soon as I heard it, well, before I even started asking, Grandma Qiu spoke up by herself.
