I have a Secret

When Wu Cuiling was taken away by Liu Donglai, someone saw it.

It was like a thunderbolt was thrown into the village, and everything exploded. The neighbors ran out of the door in horror to see. They couldn't believe it. They usually saw an honest woman with such slender wrists, and they needed help from others to kill a chicken every New Year's day. , Catch up with the scene of slaughtering pigs, and dare not watch from the sidelines, how could he do such a heartless thing.

The gossiping women in the village began to talk more vigorously than doing farm work.

"I really can't tell. Xiao Wu has studied for many years, went to college, can write poetry, is very knowledgeable, and is hardworking and capable. I didn't expect that she could even kill her own mother-in-law, and she was not afraid of being punished." Lightning struck."

"That's right, we often say that she is filial, virtuous, and sensible. She can serve her mother-in-law, take care of the house, and take care of everything inside and out. You can't find another one who is as good as a lantern in ten miles and eight villages." Daughter-in-law."

"People's hearts are unpredictable. There are everyone these days. You don't know whether the other person's heart is black or red."

"Oh, I just feel creepy when I think of the way she talks and does things when she's with us."

"Me too. It's terrible. She hides so deeply."

"Wang Yuemei died so badly. According to my boss, she was stabbed to death. There was a big hole in her neck, and all the blood was drained. It's like killing a chicken."

"So, to be a human being, you should be more generous and tolerant. Don't worry about everything. Always pick the bones in the egg. If you treat people incorrectly, it will be easy to attract people's resentment."

"What are you talking about? Xiao Wu was only taken to the police station for questioning, but she didn't say that she did it."

"It must be her. Otherwise, there are dozens of people in this village. Why don't others take the young man with him, but only her?"

"Hey, tell me, is there something famous about Dagui's death?"

"Don't talk about it, I'm in a panic in this day and night, that kind of femme fatale woman should be beaten to death with a stick!"

Huang Dan and Chen Jinhua stood in the crowd, the gossip went in their left ear, out of their right ear, in their right ear, out of their left ear, endlessly, they were all spitting on the word Wu Cuiling, wishing they could take off their pants Take a piss, and by the way, say something to the dead Wang Yuemei, saying that she was too mean and looked down on people, so she lost her life.

Chen Jinhua spat, "We have been neighbors for decades, and now Yuemei is dead. Are you talking too much?"

"Aren't we just talking casually? What's the big deal? When she was alive, no one knew what she was doing. She did everything, and she was afraid of people talking about it?" A woman said in a strange way, "Golden Flower! , you have smashed a lot of things at Yuemei's place over the years, now that she is dead, you have nothing to fawn on, you don't feel at ease."

Chen Jinhua didn't get angry, they were all from the same village, who didn't have one or two things in their hands, "Big tiger mother, when it comes to flattery, I can't compare to you, you have to use the tiles to get semi-tractor tiles. Sent them all out."

The woman's face immediately turned green.

Although it hadn't been a secret for a long time, some years had passed since the incident, and when she was brought out again, her face was hot and she was slapped in public.

"You're still the best. Yuemei said in front of you that you are not good enough for Lao Li, and you are worthy of living with someone like Mazi. You can walk around behind her ass like a normal person."

Everyone else was watching the excitement, whispering there, everyone was idle as if they had nothing to do at home.

Huang Dan pulled Chen Jinhua, "Mom, let's go back."

He didn't understand that there is a kind of war where both sides are women, there is no smoke of gunpowder, only spittle, which can drive people to death.

Chen Jinhua laughed, "Dahu Mom, I just remembered one thing when you mentioned the past. I was the one who accompanied you when you were having a vasectomy, but you ran away halfway, which made it hard for me to find you." , I finally found you in a ravine, and you were holding on to a man's trouser waist, and now I can't remember which one it was, but I remember that your face was as dark as a coal ball."

There was laughter all around, full of derision.

No one in the village knew that Widow Zhang was so coquettish to death. She was coquettish when she was young, but she didn't change much when she got older.

Widow Zhang jumped over the wall in a hurry, and opened her mouth to curse, "Damn it, Chen Jinhua, try saying it again?!"

Huang Dan's brows frowned suddenly, why is this aunt's mouth so dirty, he wanted to brush it a few times with a toilet brush.

Chen Jinhua is not the one who suffers the most. She is not repaying an eye for an eye, but paying back double.

Widow Zhang was so angry that she grabbed Chen Jinhua.

At that moment, Huang Dan was blocked by Chen Jinhua, and five scratches were scratched on his face. He let out a cry of pain, bent over to cover his face and kept inhaling.

Chen Jinhua's face darkened, "You dare to hit my son, I will fight you!"

She rushed up and shook her hand at Widow Zhang.

The scene was chaotic, with fights, hands-on, and verbal ones, making a mess.

Under the old locust tree in front of the door, Li Gen was squatting on the ground smoking a cigarette. When he heard the movement, he didn't think about it at first, but when he caught a glimpse of a figure, he immediately spit out the cigarette butt and ran away.

The smell of Qixi brand cigarettes wafted in. He grabbed Huang Dan with one hand and pulled him up. He raised his arm to wipe away his tears, and his sore lips turned white.

Li Gen looked at the swollen half of the young man's face, which was bleeding. He turned his head and roared, "Who did it?"

The surrounding became silent.

Li Gen hadn't closed his eyes for the past two days, his eyes were bloodshot, and it was especially scary when he stared at him, "Damn it, dare you dare to do it or admit it? You bastard, stand up for me!"

Everyone glanced in the direction of Widow Zhang.

Widow Zhang's hair was disheveled, Chen Jinhua tore the neckline of her gown, and she was scratched a few times on the neck. She bit the bullet and said, "Zhang Dongdong is not your wife, so it's your turn to vent his anger on him?"

Li Gen sneered, "None of your business!"

His face was horrified, "Apologize."

Seeing that no one wanted to speak for her, Widow Zhang turned her head and shouted, "Zhang Dahu, where did you die? Come here quickly, someone is going to beat your mother—"

Taking advantage of no one at home, Zhang Dahu seized the time to do business with a woman in the house. Just halfway through the business, he heard shouts from outside, pulled up his pants and went out, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Sensing that Li Gen's aura was dangerous, Zhang Dahu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Brother, there must be some misunderstanding here."

Widow Zhang patted her son's arm vigorously, cursing in a low voice, "You unbelievable thing, why are you cowarding, you have the same virtue as your dead father."

Zhang Dahu grabbed his blind mother, and smiled at Li Gen, "Brother, you see, we are all neighbors, if you look down, you can't see them up, so there's no need to tear your face apart."

Seeing that Li Gen didn't show any signs of easing up, he said again, "Auntie left yesterday, and Sister Cui Ling... I know I'm not feeling well, I'm in a bad mood, so just come at me if you're angry."

Li Gen still didn't let it go.

Zhang Dahu glanced at the young man beside Li Gen, and thought it was nothing serious, wasn't it just a few scratches?Why are you still crying? His mother is best at whipping with bamboo sticks, sweeping with towels, and beating with sticks. That's what hurts like hell.

Thinking so in his heart, Zhang Dahu didn't say anything, he had to turn the big thing into a small one, "I apologize on my mother's behalf, winter, I'm sorry."

Huang Dan's face hurts, tears can't stop, the eyes around him are full of contempt, he is too familiar with this kind of eyes, it means "Why are you so delicate, you are not as good as girls".

The painful nerves are abnormal, and the pornography cannot be reincarnated, so it can only be done like this.

As soon as he left, Li Gen didn't stay long, and Chen Jinhua left behind the two of them, and the matter was over.

The people in the village couldn't help sighing and envious. Chen Jinhua's wishful thinking was well planned, and she knew how to curry favor with Wang Yuemei, even if she died, she would still protect her. From now on, Li Gen would support her worthless son who couldn't fart for a long time. , can walk sideways in the village.

Li Gen was going to the town to ask about Wu Cuiling's situation, and Huang Dan followed.

The police station was full of smog. Two people were smoking and playing cards with their legs crossed. Liu Donglai was sitting on the desk on the left seriously writing something and taking notes. Do some work, it will be exhausting.

After Li Gen asked, he learned that Wu Cuiling repeatedly lost control during the interrogation process, and then passed out, and is still hanging in the hospital right now.

Liu Donglai pinched the bridge of his nose, "She reacted very violently, saying that she didn't kill anyone."

Li Gen asked, "Which hospital?"

Liu Dong said, "It's not far away."

He took Li Gen and Huang Dan over, "Don't worry, I will ask you carefully when you wake up and your mood stabilizes."

Li Gen said, "Please."

"This is my duty, as it should be." Liu Donglai patted him on the shoulder, "Can you cooperate with me and ask a few questions."

Li Gen said yes.

Huang Dan consciously walked to the side and kicked stones.

Liu Donglai took out the small notebook in his pocket and an automatic pen, "You have been married twice, what happened to the woman?"

Li Gen raised his eyebrows, "Is it related to the case?"

Liu Donglai said seriously, "The teacher said that before the facts of the case are revealed, any details may be the key clues."

Li Gen said, "Officer Liu is a good student."

If this person hadn't come to town, the few at the police station wouldn't be able to find out the fart, and they wouldn't care.

He took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket. It wasn't Qixi, which he smoked often, but Yunshan, which was much more expensive, and he opened it and handed one over.

Liu Donglai waved his hand, saying that he does not smoke.

Li Gen didn't smoke either. He is a person who is convinced of one thing and won't change it. He is used to Qixi and can't accept other cigarettes, no matter how good they are.

"One died in the sedan chair, and the other drank pesticide on the third day after marriage."

Liu Donglai pondered, he didn't find the file, and the two families didn't report the case.

Most of the people here have a phenomenon that their understanding of the law is too superficial.

He values ​​face more, and lives only for that, as if face is more important than anything else.

Liu Donglai said, "There is a type of case in medicine, where a person who is fine suddenly stops breathing."

Li Gen raised his eyebrows.

Liu Donglai said, "Why does your second wife drink pesticides?"

Li Gen couldn't tell.

Liu Donglai asked, "Aren't you free in love?"

Li Gen said, "No."

Liu Dong came, saying that there was no basis for feelings, "Did you guys have sex before she drank the pesticide?"

That means guessing that the woman was forced to commit suicide by drinking pesticide.

"I am a person who values ​​feelings. You must have love before you can have sex."

Li Gen said bluntly, "Officer Liu, do you have any questions about my two past marriages?"

"Not for now." Liu Dong said, "Your sister-in-law is interested in you."

Li Gen's eyelids lifted suddenly, "Evidence?"

Liu Donglai turned a page in his notebook, "This is copied from your sister-in-law's poetry collection, and it is a poem she wrote for you."

Li Gen took a look.

Wu Cuiling's infatuation was hidden in those few poems, and she had already named her name. She dared not say it, so she expressed her feelings through writing poems.

Liu Donglai observed the change in the man's expression. It seemed that he didn't know about it, and he had no interest in Wu Cuiling.

"Did you tell her about your lack of money?"

Liu Donglai continued, "As far as I know, when someone dies in the family, they will receive gift money from relatives, and the addition will be quite a lot."

Li Gen's pupils constricted, "Officer Liu, only a lunatic can make such an assumption of yours."

Liu Donglai said, "The way your mother was killed was extremely cruel, isn't it the work of a lunatic?"

Li Gen closed his eyes, "It was revealed."

Liu Donglai wrote it down and changed the question, "How is the relationship between Zhang Yingxiong and your brother-in-law?"

Li Gen said, "Very good."

After Liu Donglai asked a few more questions, he suddenly shifted his gaze to the young man not far away.

"A friend of mine is in a similar situation to you, so I know a little bit more about same-sex affairs than others, and it is easier to find out. This road is difficult to walk. It is best not to step on it, but to turn back. Just turn back immediately."

Li Gen took a breath.

"The chances of people in the village accepting it are zero."

Liu Donglai said, "A word of advice to you, paper can't cover a fire. To be on the safe side, it's better for you to leave the village."

He clipped the automatic pen in his notebook, "Let's go."

When they arrived at the hospital, the three of them walked to the ward.

Wu Cuiling was lying on the small bed, her eyes were closed, her face was pale, she looked very bad.

Li Gen didn't go in, just stood in the corridor for a while and then left.

Huang Dan took a second look. Wu Cuiling was awake and knew that Li Gen was coming, but he didn't open his eyes.

I don't know if it's because of his distrust, or because he is guilty of hiding something, afraid of being seen through.

When I go back, I don’t walk on the same road as when I went there. Almost all of them shuttle through the fields.

Huang Dan was tired from walking, so he took off his shoes and threw them on the grass to dry. The original owner was sweaty feet, and the sweat on that foot was covered in the shoes, making it sticky and wet.

Li Gen pinched Huang Dan's chin, looked at the scratch on his left face, it was not so swollen, "Does it still hurt?"

Huang Dan said it didn't hurt, "Brother, don't touch me."

Li Gen didn't touch it, he leaned over, put his lips on the scratch marks on the young man's face, and touched it lightly a few times, "Don't care what other people say, brother treats you well, not because your mother keeps giving things away."

Huang Dan said, "I know."

Li Gen sat down, propped his elbows on his knees, and scratched in his short, stiff hair with his big knuckle hands, "Winter, brother's heart is in a mess."

The faces of the people around him changed, and they were extremely strange, which also made him terrified and disgusted.

Since when, the sugar village where he was born and grew up is no longer simple and simple, but has become a place that eats people without spitting out their bones.

Huang Dan understands somewhat. Li Gen spends his time studying, attending school and taking exams. During the winter and summer vacations, he works part-time to earn money. If he leaves the village, he will start a family and start a business elsewhere and will not come back.

Now Wang Yuemei's tragic death has broken Li Gen's cognition of this village that has been solidified for many years.

"Then Police Officer Liu is different from others. He is very responsible and will definitely find out the truth." Huang Dan said, "Brother, regardless of whether it is Sister Cui Ling or not, aunt has already left."

Li Gen held his hand and put it on his forehead, "Winter, I only have you, you have to stay with me, I beg you."

Huang Dan pursed his lips and patted the man on the back.

When he came home from get off work, he met a very arrogant little boy driving a Mercedes-Benz toy car in the community, and somehow traveled here. He didn't know if the world was frozen, but I hope it was.

Otherwise, he will be in a state of sudden death, and the housekeeper will cremate him sadly, and he will have no body to live in when he goes back.

Huang Dan's ass was a little bit tight, he reached out to touch it, and his hand was shit.

"..."

Huang Dan threw away the shit and wiped his hand on the grass, "Brother, am I going to get lucky with shit?"

Li Gen's face twitched, "Yes."

Huang Dan grabbed the man's hand, "Then you should touch it too."

Li Gen dodged, "I'll forget it."

Huang Dan threw a piece of shit into the man's gown.

Li Gen immediately took off his jacket and threw the dog shit away, he yelled with a dark face, "Zhang Dongdong!"

The corner of Huang Dan's mouth curved.

Li Gen was taken aback, "You laughed."

Huang Dan said, "Is there?"

Li Gen looked over straight, "Yes."

This time, he was stunned when he changed to a yellow sheet. He touched his face and the corner of his mouth, didn't he? Did I laugh?There is no reference to simulate, but you can laugh out loud?

But he still doesn't know what emotion is laughing?

It was as if he didn't understand why he was in so much pain.

Li Gen hugged Huang Dan in silence.

Huang Dan hurts a little from being hugged, this man does this every time he hugs him, he remembers that hugging hurts.

After returning to the village, Huang Dan said, "Brother, I want to visit Sister Cui Ling's house."

Li Gen took him in.

The things in the house were the same as Liu Donglai had turned over before, untidy and messy.

The yellow sheet was flipped through, and the drawer and wardrobe didn't fall out. He squatted in front of the red leather box and looked around, tilting his head and groping around the box. His eyes caught a black piece under the bed inadvertently.

Li Gen went to get the stick, stroked under the bed a few times, and drew out something, which was a pair of black trousers worn outside.

himself.

Huang Dan said, "There are more."

Li Gen came back to his senses and scratched with a sullen face. There were a lot of things, including a few pairs of socks, sweaters, long johns, summer short-sleeved jackets, and a pair of boxer underwear, all of which had been washed and had folded marks on them.

Huang Dan, maybe these are the things that were originally put under the box. Wu Cuiling was afraid that Li Gen would know her dirty thoughts, so she panicked.

Seeing Wu Cuiling's reaction, she didn't know that the clothes had been turned into passbooks.

Whoever replaced it had no time to take it away, so it was hurriedly stuffed under the bed.

That person knew that Li Gen was short of money, and also knew that Wu Cuiling had made an idea of ​​Wang Yuemei's passbook. She wanted to help Li Gen in her own name, so the other party set up a frame?Will it be so?

A figure appeared in Huang Dan's mind, he swallowed, his palms were sweating, "Brother, Sister Cui Ling likes you."

Li Gen threw away the stick, "Can I apply for a cigarette?"

Huang Dan said, "Okay."

Li Gen sat on the ground beside the bed and smoked. He finished his cigarette without saying a word, got up and went out.

Huang Dan stayed in the room for a while and found a small notebook.

It is Wu Cuiling's account book, which records in detail where and what she bought every time she took money from Wang Yuemei after she married Li Dagui.

Flipping the yellow slip back, thinking it was nothing to look at, he discovered the secret inside.

It turned out that after Li Dagui's death two years ago, Wang Yuemei became paralyzed, and Li Gen came back from other places to take care of him. Wu Cuiling spent more time with him, and then she slowly developed such feelings for him.

That is to say, if Wu Cuiling was involved in Li Dagui's death, then the motive was not to be with Li Gen, but something else.

Like that child.

People's imagination is limitless and scary, so Huang Dan was frightened by his own imagination, so he went to find Li Gen with a small book.

After reading it, Li Gen applied for another cigarette.

There are so many unknown things in a home.

The weather was hot, the temperature was very high, and the loess ground was scalding hot. Wang Yuemei's body could no longer be released.

Li Gen went to the village head.

In the morning, an old man from the village washed and washed Wang Yuemei. According to Li Gen's request, she made sure that not a single strand of her hair was loose, and then changed her into a shroud made of good material.

Wang Yuemei was very particular, and when she entered the coffin, she was decent.

Several strong men carried the coffin, blowing and beating all the way, walked around the village, and went to the mountain for burial, next to Li Dagui and his father.

Li Gen, dressed in linen and filial piety, stood by the pit and scattered paper notes, one and two cents, on the coffin.

This is a custom, you don’t need too much money, just sprinkle a little. If you have too much, it will be spread and people will remember, and secretly dig up the grave bag and take the money away.

The strong men filled the hole with shovels, and the coffin was soon covered with soil.

The last shovel in the grave was dug by Li Gen. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times. Everyone left, but he was still kneeling blankly.

Huang Dan pulled the man up and patted the dirt off his pants, "Brother, let's go back."

Li Gen wiped his face, his voice hoarse, "Okay."

Five or six tables were set up in the yard, and relatives from both families came. Chen Jinhua and Zhang Yingxiong's mother cooked rice, steamed meat with rice flour, grilled fish, and red dates and white fungus soup.

Huang Dan was drinking tremella soup in the kitchen, it was sweet and greasy, "Mom, brother is staying at home and crying."

"It's fine if you cry, but if you hold it in your heart, you'll get sick." Chen Jinhua sighed, "This man, no matter what he looked like when he was alive, he's just a handful of dirt when he's dead, smelly and inconspicuous."

The hero mother also sighed, "Yes."

Huang Dan put the bowl on the pot table, "Second Aunt, where's the hero? Why haven't I seen him?"

The hero's mother is cooking, "He has eaten badly in the past two days."

Huang Dan said, "Then I'll go and have a look."

When he went, he found that the gate of Zhang Yingxiong's house was closed and bolted.

He yelled a few times outside the door, but there was no response, which was expected by Huang Dan, Zhang Yingxiong was hiding in the house.

Three days later, Wu Cuiling still did not come back.

Everyone in the village was gossiping, saying that it was Wu Cuiling who did it, how could the Wu family raise such a daughter, it was really cruel.

Wu Cuiling was originally the pride of her natal family, but after Li Dagui's death, she refused to remarry at all, and insisted on staying in Li's family. After quarreling once or twice, she fell out with her natal family.

The gate of the Wu family was closed tightly. As early as the day when they heard that their daughter was taken to the police station, they all left, in order not to be ridiculed and stared at by relatives and friends.

Huang Dan has been wandering around Zhang Yingxiong's house, and finally he took the opportunity to slip in.

Zhang Yingxiong was much more emaciated than his dead mother Li Gen. He was very anxious, muttering something in the courtyard, and was shocked when he saw the yellow list, "Dong, Dong, why are you here?"

Huang Dan said, "I heard from my second aunt that you spoiled your stomach after eating."

Zhang Yingxiong looked distressed, "Yes, I ate a few more cakes, I don't know what my mother added to it, and I pulled it many times a day, almost pulling out my intestines."

Huang Dan frowned, "Why don't you go to the clinic?"

Zhang Yingxiong said, "Too lazy to go."

He yawned, "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to squint for a while."

Huang Dan said, "Sister Cuiling is still at the police station, and everyone in the village says that she killed Auntie."

Zhang Yingxiong didn't look back, "Impossible, sister Cui Ling is usually so kind to aunt, she would never kill aunt, they don't know anything, just spread nonsense, full of shit in their minds."

Huang Dan looked at Zhang Yingxiong's back, and he suddenly remembered that the other party was not yet 20 years old.

It's really nothing like it.

Maybe it's because of doing farm work since he was a child. His physique is very well developed. If he doesn't know his age, he would think that he is a strong man in his thirties.

After Huang Dan left, he went to find Li Gen, "Brother, I saw the hero and thought he was a bit strange."

Li Gen stopped wiping the table, "Why is it so strange?"

Huang Dan combined his guess with what he saw and said, "Sister Cui Ling hasn't come back, he's panicked."

Li Gen threw the rag aside, frowned and asked, "Winter, what do you want to say?"

Huang Dan asked without answering, "Brother, do you still remember He Wei's death?"

Li Gen nodded, "Yes."

Huang Dan said, "Why is Dagui's gown in the bamboo garden behind his house?"

"I'm also wondering." Li Gen said, "As soon as Dagui's first seven days passed, I went back to work. My mother and Cui Ling sorted out the things he had before he was alive. They said they were all burned. When did they burn?" I don't know."

According to Huang Dan's analysis, only Wu Cuiling and Wang Yuemei could touch Li Dagui's clothes. Wang Yuemei became paralyzed about half a year after Li Dagui's death.

Even if she didn't do it herself, it has something to do with her.

Li Gen said in a deep voice, "Winter, tell brother, what are you thinking?"

Huang Dan said, "I don't think there are ghosts in the world, only people who pretend to be ghosts."

With the head of the original owner, he can't say too much, but just this one sentence, the man can already understand the meaning and think of many things.

Li Gen tapped his fingertips on the table.

At the time of Dagui's death, Li Gen was the first to suspect He Wei. He investigated secretly, but failed to find Mingtang.

But his suspicion and dislike for He Wei never diminished.

In Li Gen's opinion, part of the reason why his younger brother would be defiant was related to He Wei's malicious flattery. Whenever something happened, he would coax his younger brother with a few words so that he couldn't find him, and he came out like a fool. The other party hides behind by himself, and it has nothing to do with him.

Therefore, Li Gen felt relieved when he learned that He Wei had died.

Li Gen didn't think deeply about it. Looking back now, the gown didn't have long legs, and someone put it in.

That person is Cui Ling?

At that time, Mom tried to test it out, but Cui Ling's reaction was normal, and she asked him to search the house, but he didn't search carefully, just glanced roughly.

Li Gen had a splitting headache. He had been studying and working outside these years, and when he came back, he asked about the situation. His mother said that everything was fine at home, and that Dagui and Cuiling had a very good relationship and never quarreled.

Dagui and Cuiling also said that, everything is fine.

How many lies are hidden in this family...

At night, Li Gen went to He Wei's bamboo garden alone, looking for something with a flashlight.

Huang Dan was at home. He knew that Li Gen would do something, so he didn't sleep.

There was a noise from the main room, Huang Dan went out and saw Chen Jinhua moving the bench, "Mom, are you still up?"

Chen Jinhua said no.

Huang Dan saw the front basket on the table, "Mom, why are you still giving me the soles of my shoes? I won't be able to wear out those new shoes for a few years."

Chen Jinhua said, "Leave it alone and wear it slowly."

Huang Dan asked, "Why do you do so much at once?"

Chen Jinhua said, "Mom is old. If my eyesight is not good, I won't be able to make them. My memory will be poor, so I won't be able to remember the shoe patterns. When I can do it, I will make a few more pairs."

Huang Dan looked at Chen Jinhua's face through the kerosene lamp, and he didn't know when the sickness appeared.

I don't live long.

Huang Dan hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.

Before dawn, Li Gen came in over the wall.

Huang Dan had been dozing off all night, and he didn't dare to fall asleep. Now he was yawning, staring at the thing in the man's hand, "Brother, what is that? A lantern stand? Or a kite stand?"

Li Gen said neither, "It's a paper man."

Huang Dan showed a surprised expression.

"He Wei is afraid of ghosts, this is something that many people know."

Li Gen said, "Someone deliberately put the paper figurines in expensive red gowns and held them up and shook them in front of He Wei's window. He was frightened to death."

Huang Dan swallowed, as he thought.

Li Gen pointed to the dirty shredded paper, "These two small pieces of paper were dug out in the bamboo garden. It was windy and rainy that night, so they might have been blown away."

Huang Dan asked, "Then this shelf?"

"It's just a small piece from the garbage dump in the west." Li Gen said, "There are only Zhang Yingxiong and his father in the eight villages who are lantern masters."

The focus of the yellow sheet is, no wonder men stink.

Li Gen said, "I remember that Zhang Yingxiong learned his father's craft. It is very easy to make this kind of paper doll frame."

Huang Dan looked shocked, "Brother, what do you mean, Zhang Yingxiong scared He Wei to death? Why did he do this?"

Li Gen pinched Huang Dan's face, "It's still because of your reminder."

Huang Dan restrained his excitement.

Li Gen said, "I thought about it carefully. On the first day Cuiling married Dagui, everyone was arguing with the matchmaker in the yard. I accidentally saw Zhang Yingxiong coming out of her room with a strange look on her face. People knew each other before that."

Huang Dan was speechless, he just remembered such a big thing.

Li Gen rubbed his temples. At that time, he only knew how to read. It didn't matter whether there was Yan Ruyu in the book, it could calm him down, so he didn't care so much about the people and things around him.

"I'll go to Yinzhuang tomorrow."

Huang Dan said, "I heard that Cui Ling's family is not here."

Li Gen said, "It's okay, I'm not looking for her family, I'm looking for her neighbors."

The next day, Li Gen went to Yinzhuang, and found out that Wu Cuiling went to Lu Ting to buy fertilizer during the summer vacation of her sophomore year. When she came back, she fell ill. She didn't know what the disease was, and she lay at home for a long time.

At that time, Zhang Yingxiong was twelve or thirteen years old, he was not in the village, and went to relatives with his parents.

The relative's home is in Luting.

Lu Ting, who Li Gen went to by tractor, spent a lot of energy asking about some things back then. Zhang Yingxiong was mischievous. He ran out to play secretly at night, but when he came back, he was covered in injuries. He was beaten and almost lost his little brother. Life.

If you search for a specific person, you can find out a lot of things that you haven't noticed.

Li Gen told Huang Dan what he knew. He had only one person he could trust. If he wanted to hear something from him, it would be best to overturn his conclusion and say that he was wrong.

Huang Dan didn't say that, he still couldn't figure out the relationship between Zhang Yingxiong and Wu Cuiling. If Zhang Yingxiong had a crush on Wu Cuiling, he didn't feel like it.

There must be a relationship, Zhang Yingxiong will not stir up this muddy water for no reason.

Know it now.

It is worship, admiration, and kindness.

Every time others say Wu Cuiling, Zhang Yingxiong will fight back.

Huang Dan tried to put together the information that Li Gen told him in order. Zhang Yingxiong was young and ignorant. He had a conflict with others in Lu Ting and was beaten. He, he himself is very likely to be given...

Because He Wei said Wu Cuiling was a broken shoe, Li Dagui should have mentioned something to him.

In the village, if there is no bloodshed on a woman's wedding night, she is not a virgin, which means that she is not clean and is a dirty product. The way to tell the difference is so ridiculous.

Some were purely accidental injuries, some were not, but were really touched.

Huang Dan pushed the door open, and suddenly a sickle fell from the door. The sickle was sharpened and extremely sharp. If Li Gen hadn't pushed him away in time, the sickle would have left a trail of blood on a certain part of his body. mouth.

Li Gen tugged at the yellow sheet, "Are you okay?"

Huang Dan said, "It's all right."

After Li Gen was afraid for a while, he cursed, "Who the hell did this?"

Huang Dan knows who it is.

Li Gen asked Huang Dan to live with him, but Huang Dan refused, and he was still close to the last point. Except Chen Jinhua, no one else could help him.

During lunch, Huang Dan told Chen Jinhua about the sickle.

Sitting at the door, Chen Jinhua patted her thigh and scolded for more than half an hour. Everyone in the village knew about it, and everyone was panicked.

Huang Dan learned how to curse people again.

Chen Jinhua's scolding voice became hoarse, she picked up the water bottle to drink water, and talked to Huang Dan, and then mentioned Wu Cuiling, "Hey, your sister Cuiling is also suffering, the baby girl given by her family After graduating from university, she will marry a dagui who is idle."

"I gave birth to a baby in the second year. When your sister Cui Ling came back from the vegetable field, the baby was bitten to death by wild dogs. You didn't see it. It was a bloody mess and it was nothing."

Huang Dan raised his eyes, "Mom, why didn't you tell me before?"

Chen Jinhua said, "This kind of thing is not a good thing. Mom feels pitiful when she thinks about it."

Huang Dan said, "How can Sister Cui Ling feel at ease to keep the child in the house?"

Chen Jinhua said, "Your elder brother is watching, really, who knew he would leave the child to go out to play."

Huang Dan said, "Why is Big Brother so confused?"

Chen Jinhua said, "It's not that He Weila's, your elder brother is also a person who can't help being aggressive, and he wants to save face."

She rubbed her eyes, "The baby is less than one year old, and she has become like that. Can a mother not feel so sorry for her?"

Huang Dan lowered his eyelids. He thought that the real cause of the child's death was only known to Wang Yuemei, Wu Cuiling, and Li Dagui. He didn't expect Chen Jinhua.

Although Li Dagui is the complete opposite of Wang Yuemei's ideal son Li Gen, there is one thing that he feels the same as Wang Yuemei, that is, he has a good face.

Huang Dan was afraid of dogs, so he didn't dare to imitate the child's appearance when he died, so he went to sit on the small bamboo chair in the courtyard, "Mr. System, I may have found that thread."

System, "Congratulations."

Huang Dan said, "Tomorrow I'm going to perform a play in front of Zhang Yingxiong to decide whether I can succeed in this mission. Do you have any suggestions?"

System, "I think that the acting skills can be a bit poor, but the lines can't be unsmooth."

Huang Dan said, "It makes sense."

He memorized the ins and outs of what he had sorted out several times in his heart, memorizing them by heart, "Thank you, Mr. System."

System, "You're welcome."

Huang Dan went to Li Gen's place, the two chatted for a while, and then they split up in the afternoon.

After dark, Li Gen quietly left the village and went to find Liu Donglai.

The next day, Huang Dan pushed Zhang Yingxiong's parents away, stepped on Li Gen's shoulders, and rolled into his house. As a result, his hand was stabbed by glass shards on the wall, and he fell down on the spot in pain.

Li Gen hugged him and sucked the blood from his hands, "Be careful."

Huang Dan bared his teeth in pain, half dead
