folk legend

Chapter 34

Han Yucai's words seemed to put a heavy stone on the heart of the old village chief. Feeling a little out of breath, he opened his mouth a few times, but he didn't know what to say.In the end, he simply put his hands behind his back and walked towards Han Youcai's house in a sullen manner.

"...you are talented, you wicked bastard... why did you commit suicide, why didn't you care about us, you bastard who was killed a thousand times..."

When Jiang Liu followed them into Han Youcai's house, Youcai's daughter-in-law was kneeling under the eaves, slapping her thigh with one hand, crying with her neck up, her nose and tears all over her face.

Squatting and standing by the side were several women who came after hearing the letter, some pulling, some pulling, some persuading, and some crying along with them, it was very miserable.

Han Gui glanced at this, and yelled at the men standing beside him with a dark face.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and lift the person aside. After a long time, I will suffer from the wind from the eaves."

"Eave wind" is a name used by the old people in the paddock. It is said that people affected by the wind from the eaves will have crooked eyes and slanted mouth, and it may also cause diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and it may even cause disability in severe cases.

Villagers who plan their food in the soil do not earn much money throughout the year, and if they suffer from illnesses and disasters, they can survive as long as they can. Therefore, it is particularly important for them to have a good body that never gets sick.

Moreover, in the current situation, the dead are no longer there, so naturally the living cannot be allowed to make another mistake.It was precisely because of this that the old village chief hurriedly asked Han Youcai's wife to be carried away.

As the saying goes, there are thousands of people in a family, but one person is in charge.When the old village chief didn't come, there were a bunch of people standing in Han Youcai's house, all talking in a hurry, not knowing what to do, and not knowing what to do.Now as soon as the village head spoke, several people rushed over and joined hands to carry the talented daughter-in-law to her mother-in-law's house.

While several people were carrying Han Youcai's wife away, Jiang Liu, who had nothing else to do, walked to the front of the house and looked in through the wide-open damper. Hanged Han Youcai.

When Han Youcai hanged himself, he was wearing blue coarse cloth clothes, which almost blended with the blackened roof smoky with oil, and he was not tall at all, hanging from the high beams. It's really hard to spot without looking carefully.

This is another very weird hanging!Jiang Liu thought to himself.

Because under the feet of Han Youcai's corpse, Jiang Liu saw neither a stool nor a ladder, and the ground was empty.That is to say, Han Youcai, who was only 1.6 meters tall by visual inspection, was actually hung on the [-]-meter beam without any external force.

How did he get up there? Could it be that he got his wings?

At this time, beside Han Youcai's dead body, there were several villagers sitting on two benches.A few people with pipes and pots hanging from their mouths were bowing their heads and whispering, and a few non-smokers raised their heads, staring at Han Youcai's corpse on the beam, thinking about their own concerns.

But when Han Gui walked into the room, these people hurriedly stood up at the same time, greeted Han Gui with their eyes, and greeted Han Gui with a smile on their faces.

"The village head is coming"

"Village Chief, you are here. Look at this, we dare not move."

"That's right, there have been so many incidents in the village recently, who knows what Han Youcai is doing..."

"You can say anything about the boss! If you want to say anything about the boss, you have to put the person down first. Look at all of you bears, but you are still the masters of peeing standing up. If you are afraid of this, you should just go back. Go home, don't be afraid to hug your own girls."

Ever since Jiang Liu asked for Han Yushan's birthday horoscope, Han Gui felt angry. Now, seeing these people sitting on the side of the corpse in a big way, not doing anything, the anger in the old village chief's heart has turned towards They scatter.The voice of speaking also became louder and louder, and finally shouted at several people.

These people probably didn't have a good dream when they went to bed last night, and they caused a lot of noise for no reason, and they didn't dare to talk back.They were busy looking for ladders and kitchen knives again.

I don't know why, looking at these people, not daring to say a word, looking busy with their heads down, Jiang Liu felt a kind of discomfort that could not be expressed in words, and the image of a traitor suddenly appeared in his mind.

Soon, a person moved a ladder from the outside, and without thinking about Jiang Liu, he followed a few people and set up the ladder under the beam of the house.When Jiang Liu wondered who would climb the ladder, Han Kui walked into the house from the outside, holding a shiny kitchen knife in his hand.

When Han Kui approached the ladder, a strong smell of alcohol penetrated into Jiang Liu's nose, which made him think of himself three years ago, and felt happy at the same time.

His footsteps were a little staggering, and even when standing on the ladder, Han Kui's body still shook a little.Maybe he drank a little too much, so the hand holding the kitchen knife was a little unsteady.It took a long time to saw a rope as thick as a little finger before it was completely cut.

At the moment when the rope broke, several people who had been preparing below hurriedly reached out to catch Han Youcai's suddenly drooping corpse, and held it up carefully for fear that the corpse would touch the ground.

In the paddock, there is a saying that as long as the dead body is moved again, the dead person's feet must not touch the ground, not even a little soil.Otherwise, the soul of the dead cannot go to the underworld, nor can it be reincarnated.

Because of this saying passed down from the old life, when moving Han Youcai's body, everyone was very careful. It was not until the body was placed on a tiled door that the nervous mood had been completely relaxed.

"First find someone to report to the temple, then find a bill, cover the body, find a white candle, put it on top of his head, and light the everlasting lamp. Then find a plowshare point, hurry up!"

Squatting next to Han Youcai's corpse, Jiang Liu gave orders one by one.

When Jiang Liu entered the house, people who didn't know him thought he was a relative of the village chief, because someone saw him walking into the yard with the village chief.

But listening to him say these words now, I feel very surprised. Isn't Mr. Yin Yang, who was born in Hei'er, the one who said these words?Could it be that the child in front of him is Mr. Yin Yang who gave birth to Hei'er this time?

In fact, Jiang Liu, who is already 20 years old, looks pretty good. In the words of the village, he is absolutely capable.It's just that he is a little short, about 1.7 meters zero, and he is thin, so he looks like a child.

According to the rules of the village, Jiang Liu at this age would have been married long ago, but it was only because he had been learning from Han Xiazi for the past few years that he was delayed.Because in the old villages, it is popular to raise a son early, and some children even take their son to hold the key when they are 16 years old (holding the key is the Weichang dialect, which means to be the head of the house).

So after the big guys finished Jiang Liu's orders, except for Han Kui who was a little drunk and turned to look for Shan Zi, the others stood still.Let Jiang Liu, who came out of Hei'er for the first time, hang on the spot.

Seeing that no one else was moving, the young man felt very embarrassed, so he had to cast a look of help at Han Gui.

To be honest, after hearing Jiang Liu's words, Han Gui became even more angry, and even scolded Han Xianzai in his heart.

"Okay, you blind Han, what do you mean? You didn't come over in person for such a big event, but you sent a kid here. What can a kid with a hairless mouth do?"

Naturally, Han Gui would not say these words, and he, the village head for many years, would not do such a stupid thing as scolding the master in front of his apprentice.But he was angry in his heart, so he turned a blind eye to Jiang Liu's eyes asking for help.Anyway, the lights in the room were dim, and my eyesight was bad, so I just didn’t see it!What can you do to me?

When Jiang Liu was entering or retreating, Han Kui came over to Jiang Liu with an old patch piled on top of the patch list, and said, "Hey, Mr. Liu, I'm not familiar with this Han Youcai's house, so I can't find it." When you get the list, just use this door curtain to make do with it, do you think it will work? "

It turned out that Han Kui, who was five big and three rough, knew after Jiang Liu's orders that he was here to give birth to Hei'er. He was rough and thin, and he guessed that this kid would not be able to convince the group of people in the room, especially when he came out one after another. After these few things, that's why he was the first to follow Jiang Liu's orders.

It’s just that in the days when the family was poor and clanging, I searched all the luggage in Han Youcai’s house, but couldn’t find a single bed sheet. Finally, Han Kui had no choice but tore down the door curtain of Han Youcai’s house.

In fact, the reason why Han Kui would help Jiang Liu at this time has something to do with his personality.He is a person with a simple mind and doesn't think too much about human relationships. He only believes in one thing in his heart, that is, if you treat me well, I will return you very much.

When I was at Han Jinde's house just now, although Jiang Liu didn't use to speak directly for him, it was very obvious that he wanted to stand up for him.That's why the grateful Han Kui behaved like this.He didn't even know Jiang Liu's surname, but he thought he called Mr. Liu after hearing Han Xiazi call out to keep his son.

The few who hadn’t moved all this time, seeing Han Gui who came with the old village head, all behaved like this, thinking that this was the Mr. Yin Yang recognized by the old village head, so they hurriedly started to look for things separately. Suddenly, everyone Get busy again.And this simple-minded Han Kui completely ignored the angry eyes of the old village chief and yelled for someone to build a coffin.

When only Jiang Liugen and Han Gui were left in the room, Jiang Liu said, "Uncle Han, I didn't mean you. No matter how young I am, my nickname is Mr. Yin-Yang. Look at me just now in front of so many people." ? What are you doing? Did you do this?"

Without giving Han Gui a chance to reply, Xiao Duzi imitated Blind Han, sighed and then waved his hand and said, "Oh, forget it, go what you should be busy with, I'll go out and have a look first."
