Chapter 16: South Gate Hill Cemetery
The next morning, there was a big fog, everywhere is white, vision becomes very poor, I did not go to the village committee, but extended the village on the road, ready to go to the south door of the mountain to take a look.
I remember when the Taoist priest asked me about the water source on the South Gate, and then did not know where it was, looking to go there to see, shorty his mother's grave at the foot of the South Gate Mountain, he saw just passing, pulled me over to kowtow a few heads.
His mother's grave is very small, the tombstone did not even words, look very shabby, I pulled the weeds on the grave and said to shorty.
"Your mother, this is your mother, not even a tombstone, yesterday the boss stuffed a thousand dollars to you, tomorrow to find a stonemason to see, lest people say you are unfilial!"
Shorty happy mouth, reach out on my shoulders, nodded a few times, pulling me towards the South Gate Mountain, mouth also muttered: "mountain brother, we are not poor in the past, listen to you into it, this early in the morning to the South Gate Mountain, is not again what treasure?"
Said, shorty spat thick spit, 'Ha Chi' after a sound, the roadside grass suddenly drilled out a person, headless cursed up.
"You fucking blind ah, spit on me!"
I looked sideways, Chen Hui mention snakeskin bag, the bag mouth reveals a large cut of fresh green grass, she is also my classmate, when I was a child look at the dirty, but now also fell into a pavilion.
See is me and shorty, she is a little embarrassed to bend over and wipe the thick phlegm on the pants leg, I saw her chest shaking trembling tender white, thinking how she wore this on the way out, and even cover are not wearing a cover, not afraid of the Hanzi to see the rise of the crooked mind.
"So it is Li village head ah, this early in the morning, have not eaten it, or go to my house to sit, there are two eggs, ask my mother to give you two boiled!"
Chen Hui's family is very poor, wearing clothes do not cover the body, stomach and thighs are exposed a large piece, I thought that the two eggs may be her family's salt money for a month, also did not agree with her, but instead touched out two dollars stuffed to her said.
"We are what relationship, this money you take, look at you out early in the morning to beat the hogweed, clothes are called fog water wet, what difficulties in the future with my brother said, brother is now the village chief, more or less can take care of some!"
Chen Hui looked at the two dollars in my hand, touching the upturned ponytail, red-faced and did not dare to take, her shy look is very nice, coupled with the jade figure and exposed skin, I not only some of the heart, grabbed her hand will be two dollars to her.
I thought about my old house although dilapidated, but than Chen Hui's house is still a little better, and also closer to the village department, look at her and said.
"Let's put it this way, I also know your family's situation, the house is about to collapse, you talk to your family, move to my old house, tomorrow to the village department to find me to get the key, if you don't come, don't blame me for making things difficult for you afterward!"
Chen Hui looked at me gratefully, her eyes were wet, I don't know if it was because of the mist or because she wanted to cry, she raised her hand and rubbed it and asked me where I was going, seeing that I said it was on the south gate, she instantly threw her snakeskin bag to the side and clamored to go as well.
Shorty looked at her lively and lovely appearance, hastily nodded in agreement, I was embarrassed to refuse, took them into the mountain.
South Gate Mountain forest is very dense, lush, walking in a kind of gloomy feeling, I worry about Chen Hui and shorty afraid, cut a wood stick, all the way up to knock, Chen Hui seems to know that I rejected Zhang Fang thing, all the way always pestered me to talk.
I pondered this girl is not also like me, Zhang Fang is enough for me to headache, plus her, the village is afraid to turn the sky, to look at the graveyard, I had to write a lie, will Chen Hui tricked down the mountain.
"We have arrived at the place, Chen Hui ah, you are not afraid to follow me village gossip difficult to hear, or go back, remember to look for me in the village tomorrow!"
Chen Hui was a member of the study committee when she was studying, very smart, instantly understand what I mean, she suddenly pulled my hand, come up to kiss me, scared me hurriedly and back to hide, that shorty in the side of the joy of laughing.
"Shanzi, our family can't compare to Zhang Fang, you don't like her I know, but I like you, she doesn't dare to do for you, I dare!"
I don't know what Chen Hui means, pulling shorty to escape like scampering, lest let her pounce on me in the mountains and forests, if this spreads out, then I'm a hooligan, have to eat a lawsuit.
After arriving at the cemetery, I looked at Chen Hui did not follow, squatting on the ground to breathe heavily, but shorty laughed uncontrollably, pointing at me and said.
"Shanzi brother, you look at Chen Hui, simply a female hooligan, or you and she slept with the count Qiu, I promise not to say, look at that butt cheeks, think of my night also itchy!"
I glanced at the dwarf, looked at a large cemetery, the village died in the past, basically are buried here, some even tombstones are not, only the uplift of the hill, the cemetery in the middle of a small road that can lead directly to the top of the south door.
I did not pay attention to shorty, leaning on the wood stick to walk to the cemetery in the middle of the path, looked around, around the tree listening to a crow, croaking, listening to the heart of some panic.
Buried here in the people did not live past sixty years old, there is no resentment in life is not clear, but the wind blowing down from the cemetery on the gloomy, cool and scared, I took a look at the crow on the tree, kicked the tree, want to scare it away, so as not to let it screaming upset.
But I don't want to kick this foot I didn't kick accurate, rubbing the trunk of the tree, shoes are thrown a long way, people also stumbled to lie on the rumble of the graveyard, the shorty rushed over to help me up, see I'm not hurt after, grabbed a piece of stone and smashed to the old crow.
"Damn, call your father ah, screaming so cheerfully!"
Shorty cursed, I do not think that the crow suddenly fell in my legs, struggled a few times will not move, I looked at it, see the head was smashed off, can not help but to shorty thumbs up and said.
"You're damn accurate, if this were a war in the past, a standard bombardier!"
Shorty came over to pick up the crow, see fat and big, drooling and said: "Shanzi brother, we do not go down the mountain at noon to eat, this crow several pounds, to ensure that enough for the two of us to eat a meal!"
The village old man said the crow is to eat dead bodies, very evil, I hurriedly let the shorty threw away, grabbed the wood stick stabbed his ass and said.
"Eat eat eat, why do you fucking dare to eat anything, this thing eats the dead, very evil, still not lost, we came up but for the A spell, don't focus on playing, look around, see if there is a strange place!"
Shorty heard me say crow eat dead people, scared hastily thrown far away, reached out and wiped his hand on the buttocks after, then put it under his nose and smelled it, frowned and said.
"really fucking evil, this crow is stinky and fishy, mountain brother, a curse with the two of us are afraid to break, you look at the South Gate Mountain, we are the foot of the mountain grew up, to the place is also this cemetery!"
I did not refute the words of shorty, South Gate Mountain stretches for more than ten miles, the mountain is extremely complex, remembering that the big stone on the top of the mountain, I still have palpitations, glanced around the cemetery a few times, see some of the earth are collapsed, vaguely exposed the rotting coffins, the heart immediately thumped.
Rushed to the cemetery are already at noon, if you want to find the tomb group, have to stay in the mountains, but this is also easy to make people suspicious, not 100% sure, I had to temporarily put off the idea, the heart only hope that the big head can come back a day earlier, the three of them together to think of ideas, may be able to make things happen.
Shorty took advantage of my attention, ran to the many graves to look around, I thought he wanted to pull out something, hastily shouted at him and said: "What the hell are you looking at, this is our village's old ancestors, do not have a crooked mind, the old ancestors blamed down, I can not save you!"
Shorty grinned at me, pulled a handful of weeds to sweep down the mud on a tombstone, pointing to the words on the tombstone and said.
"Come and take a look, this is my grandfather's grave", after saying this, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed while chanting, "Grandfather ah, your grandson I came in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me, you blessed me and Shan to be rich, next time I come to burn a few women for you!"
I look at the color of the sky, afraid to go back to touch the dark, had to walk over to pull up shorty ready to return, do not want to trip over something under the soles of the feet, was so annoyed that I wanted to curse, but shorty tore out a yellow cloth bag from the dirt.
I took a look, the bag has rotted, but on the top of the bagua figure is very clear, remembered that year the missing Taoist priest, he carried such a bag, hastily pour down all the things inside.
Ink bucket, gossip, rotten brush, and a cut of black stuff, hard, do not know what, look like horse hooves and cow feet.
Shorty picked up a piece of soil stained long, wiped, suddenly surprised and handed me said: "Damn, this time we really hair, this is the gold bar, several pounds of it!"
I hastily reached out and took it, heavy, wipe off all the dirt after revealing an attractive orange color, I grinned, stuffed into his pants pocket and said to the shorty: "This is your grandfather manifested, tomorrow you have to come to worship!"
Shorty grinned, kept nodding his head, hands in the dirt touching, only to see his face changed, and touched out a, I ate a shock, hastily with a wood knife will be pulled out of the dirt, do not want to go down, "clang" a shock, shorty happy mouth, the dirt all planing, the whole pulled out ten gold bars.
I know this is the year that the Taoist priest left, all stuffed into the pocket, the soil will be smoothed out later, this is and shorty downhill.
Gold bars from ancient times to the present is very valuable, a tens of thousands of dollars, but after returning home, I look at these gold bars but difficult, in the past poor, for no money to spend worry, but now rich, have to spend money to worry.
Want to buy do not dare to buy, want to enjoy do not dare to enjoy, afraid of attracting people's eyes on trouble and lawsuits, well the next day I received a letter, which has become the village of the tycoon!
