Chapter 75

Wait, wait, wait. We waited for seven or eight minutes through the double barrier of weeds and weather. There was nothing unusual except the hoarse cry from Uncle Zhang's mouth.

However, there was only an ancient well in front of him, an ancient well that had long been sealed and abandoned. Why did Uncle Zhang have such abnormal behavior and reaction.

This night, it was very strange and strange.

Bai Ling said, "do you want to..."

Before she spoke, I already made a response, because I think the time is almost right. If we drag on like this, the situation may be strange. At that time, we don't have a suitable reason to end.

"Uncle Zhang, what's the matter with you? I just got up at night and found that you weren't there. I listened to the voice. I didn't think it was you." of course, I couldn't say it was stalking secretly. I lied at will. I quickly reached out to Bai Ling and helped Uncle Zhang up. Because of the rain, even if there were thick weeds around the ancient well, Uncle Zhang just tossed about, I got a lot of mud in front of me. "We'll help you back now."

Of course, Uncle Zhang, who was weak, couldn't drive Bai Ling and me, but we could clearly feel his resistance from his physical reaction, and then said no.

Bai Ling said, "Uncle Zhang, what's the matter with you? You should know your physical condition. You should lie down and have a good rest in your current situation, then..."

Uncle Zhang said, "not yet... Not yet."

I have learned that Uncle Zhang's death is like returning. If I hadn't come up with a way to deceive Zhang Zhongyi for two months, Uncle Zhang would have died long ago. "Uncle Zhang, this is your fault... I won't mention it first, but now I'm a little curious. As Bai Ling said just now, what's the situation of your body? You know best why you're here. And just now we seem to hear you cry. What happened to make you so sad?"

Uncle Zhang hesitated for a long time. Maybe there was some secret behind it, which made him distrust anyone and unwilling to mention it. But perhaps because of his contact during this time, he understood each other thoroughly, so he spent a long time telling us a story intermittently.

Uncle Zhang's life experience was poor. His parents died when he was young, leaving him alone. As a last resort, he signed a deed of sale and sold it to the village landlord Chen family. There is little age difference between Miss Chen and Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang has worked in the Chen family for more than ten years. It is very reasonable to get along with each other for a long time. Uncle Zhang once told us that the first half of the story is completely right, and there is no false deception, but everything else is thousands of miles away, which is a completely different version.

It was a time of war, when the Japanese emperor invaded China's Xinjiang, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were fighting at home. The situation in China was worrying. Finally, an island butcher was forced to move the capital of Nanjing to Chongqing. It is precisely because of this capital migration that Chongqing is similar to today's Kyoto for the first time in history. During this period, it was really difficult for ordinary people to live a stable life. They didn't have enough to eat and wear. They also had to worry about the daily bombing of the Japanese Emperor's planes. However, under such conditions, there were still very few people who lived happily. In addition to their family background, they also had to have a backer behind them, and the Chen family had a backer.

Chen Jiazu has hundreds of acres of fertile land and countless houses. In Chen Houde's generation, it is completely a golden house and a silver house. As the saying goes, there are distant relatives in the rich mountains, and there are no close neighbors in the poor and busy cities. Although Chen Houde is rich, he also has poor relatives. He has come to ask for money from time to time, which annoys him and makes him determined to cut off the relationship with these poor relatives and die of old age. These poor relatives can use this to block contact, but one person makes Chen Houde feel a little tricky.

Early years ago, Chen Houde had a good relationship with a business friend. His friend had a five-year-old son. At that time, his second aunt was just pregnant. She promised on the wine table that if she was born a son, she would be a brother with his friend's son, and if she was a daughter, she would order a baby kiss. Half a year later, Miss Chen Jiasan was born. It spread to his friend. His friend immediately gave the doll with a gift.

People are not as good as heaven. The national situation is turbulent. His friend's business has been defeated again and again because of the war. In the end, he just insisted on a few years and completely defeated the business run by several generations. There is a country before there is a home. The country is not guaranteed. Even if there are tens of millions of people, it will sooner or later be fat in others' mouths. Chen Houde's friends are very open about this. However, the man wanted to eat after all, and his life always had to go on. He thought of Chen Houde and the baby kiss he had ordered. This year, Miss Chen Jiasan was thirteen years old and the year of cardamom.

Who would have thought that friendship in those years was just flashy saliva. When Chen Houde saw this impoverished friend come to the door, he couldn't drive away. It was even more wishful thinking to climb relatives and fulfill his promise.

A few silver dollars sent his father and son away. Such indifference is the fuse for the Chen family to welcome the disaster. Let Chen Houde himself did not think that there are really salted fish in the world that can turn over.

Chen Houde's friend got sick and had no money for medical treatment for a long time. He died after a period of delay. After his death, his son joined the National Army by chance and met with noble people. Three years later, at the age of 21, he became the deputy head of a garrison in Chongqing. After Chen Houde learned the news, he recalled his original practice and regretted it. However, in this era and this situation, Chen Houde thought carefully for a long time and finally made a decision to take the initiative to recognize such a marriage.

At first, he was naturally rejected, but Chen Houde went every day. Later, he specially arranged for miss three to meet with the deputy head. Who ever thought that the third young lady, who was in the age of Jasper, was born beautiful and beautiful like flowers. The deputy head finally reluctantly accepted the marriage. However, Chen Houde did not know that the third Miss secretly promised Uncle Zhang. If Chen Houde hadn't pulled and pulled, she didn't even want to see the deputy head. It may be because of this rebellion in her heart, or because of the deep-rooted friendship, miss three and Uncle Zhang privately discussed how to cross into a warehouse and cook raw rice. After that, the third lady took the initiative to tell Chen Houde about it. She was so angry that Chen Houde had the heart to kill Uncle Zhang. However, according to the current situation, this matter is not the most difficult, but how to explain and respond to the deputy head.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Houde made a ruthless decision. In order to climb the patron of the deputy head, he insisted on holding the marriage between the third miss and the deputy head. Originally, she wanted to muddle through, but on the day of the wedding, miss three announced her and Uncle Zhang in front of everyone, and then threw herself into a well for AI Mingzhi. The deputy leader who learned the truth was ashamed. He wanted to talk about all the things Chen Houde had done before. In his anger, he asked his men to kill Chen Houde's family

It turned out that this abandoned well, which had already been sealed, was actually the cemetery of Miss San.

"I'm incompetent, I'm really incompetent. In fact, she doesn't have to die, and she died so miserably... Now, I..." thinking about the past, Uncle Zhang was too sad, and because of his body, he passed out before he finished talking.

I was in a panic. Now there was no time to take care of others. I quickly carried Uncle Zhang back.

Maybe it was too much noise that woke up Zhang Zhongyi. When he saw Uncle Zhang, he was stunned. He immediately grinned and said, "Hey, good death, so we don't have to suffer in this broken place. Dig a hole and bury the old man. Oh, by the way, Xiao Qi, did the old man give a clear explanation when he left?"

I looked at the smile on Zhang Zhongyi's face and listened to what he said. I really wanted to rush up and slap him. "What are you talking about? Uncle Zhang just fell down accidentally. He's not very well. He just fainted."

"Not dead." Zhang Zhongyi looked a little disappointed, leaned towards the bed and gathered together Uncle Zhang, who looked very embarrassed. "I hope he didn't hear what I said just now, otherwise it would be very bad for us."

I said, "it's getting late. There are still many things to do tomorrow. Go and have a rest first. I'll take care of Uncle Zhang here."

Zhang Zhongyi thanked him and immediately got into his mother-in-law's quilt.

"Zhiyuan, why do I dislike this guy more and more? Do you want to give him some color to see?" Bai Ling whispered to me.

I was stunned, quickly waved my hand and said, "forget it. If you don't want to kill people, it won't end well."

"Well, I'll listen to you. But Uncle Zhang's situation is very bad now. In my opinion, his situation can't last two days." Bai Ling thought about it and said, "he's like this tonight. It's a reflection. Listening to the story he just told, there seems to be another layer of thought in it. It's a pity that even if he wakes up, the situation will be worse..."

I said, "what do you want to say?"

Bai Ling said, "otherwise, I'll help him live two more days. On the one hand, it's for Uncle Zhang and on the other hand, it's to punish this unfilial Zhang Zhongyi."
