Chapter 42 Chapter Forty-One

Liu Haizhu, who was suffocating in his heart, didn't say a word, just took the cup and did it. In less than 20 minutes, the two jugs of hot wine were drunk.Old Weitou didn't accompany Liu Haizhu to drink so hard, he drank slowly and coughed violently. After a long silence, Liu Haizhu finally spoke: "Uncle Wei, according to what you said, it's time to get rid of the harm." "Yep." "I'll do it, and I'll leave after finishing him. No one knows who I am except you." "Take two more sips, and I'll take you somewhere after drinking."

"Where are you going? Go now!" "Why are you in a hurry, take another two sips. Otherwise, if I take you there, maybe you will be scared!" Liu Haizhu didn't know how to write fear in his life. He was somewhat displeased when he heard the old Wei head say that he would be afraid, so he grabbed the hot wine pot and drank it in one gulp. Old Wei said: "Okay, Jiu Zhuang is cowardly! Let's go!" "How to go?!" "You ride a bike and take me with you. You don't need to bring a flashlight in this big moon today." Sure enough, as old Weitou said, this day is a big moon.Although there is a lot of dust in the coal mine, it still cannot block the bright moonlight.Old Wei was sitting on the back bracket of the bicycle, and Liu Haizhu was pedaling the bicycle, and the two drove out of Dayue Sigong Village.

"Uncle Wei, where are we going?" "You'll know when you get there." "How far is it?" "Let's go for 5 kilometers! Zhuzi, let me ask you something. Did you feel like killing yourself today?" "Yes!" Liu Haizhu answered firmly. "Well, I can see it, even my girl can see it. Zheng Li also saw it. Before leaving, she asked me to persuade you." "Where you asked me to take you, is it because I didn't want to kill you?" Liu Haizhu asked. "No, it doesn't matter at all." "Then why are you taking me?"

"Let you learn a lot, and find a quiet place to talk with you." Liu Haizhu stopped talking and pedaled desperately. "Aren't you too energetic to use it? What if you throw my old bone into a ditch and die?" Liu Haizhu slowed down his pedaling speed, but his chest was still heaving.He felt that Old Wei must be trying to persuade him not to make this matter a big deal.If you advise, please advise!Why did you run so far mysteriously in the middle of the night? ! "You are so temperamental. You are as good as your godfather when you were young. Young people should be a little bit temperamental."

"How far away!? It's so hot!" Liu Haizhu was already sweating. "It's far away, let you pedal slowly!" These fathers and sons have moved from the industrial village to the countryside unknowingly.The air is obviously much fresher than in the mining area, and the moonlight seems to be softer.Looking at the green cornfields on the roadside and smelling the fragrance of flowers and plants on the roadside, Liu Haizhu's nerves, which had been tense all night, seemed to relax. The country road is very quiet, only the sound of crickets in the grass and the barking of dogs in the distant village can be heard.The barking sound seemed to be 10 kilometers away, and it was unknown from which direction it came.Only by listening to the barking of the dog can I feel that I am still in the world, not in a paradise.

Old Wei, who was sitting on the back shelf, said to himself: "I don't know how long I haven't been out of the village since my legs and feet became inflexible." "Uncle Wei, if you have nothing to do, come out for a walk more, and I will take you by bicycle." "When I was young, I traveled too many roads. Now that I am old, I am waiting to die in this ruined village." "Look at what you said, you can drink a catty of alcohol, and you are in good health." "Me? I'm going to die soon. The next time I go to Gongcun, it will probably be a funeral!"

Liu Haizhu knew that old Weitou had always spoken without any scruples, but he still felt very uncomfortable when he heard what old Weitou said: "Uncle Wei, I will take you out every now and then." "No need to!" "Hey... how far is it?!" "Stop! Right here!" "What kind of place is this?" "Never mind, lock the bike here, and I'll take you somewhere." Liu Haizhu parked the bicycle on the side of the road and locked it: "Is it right here?" Old Wei said, "Come with me!" Liu Haizhu supported Old Wei's head and walked into a potholed, winding and overgrown path. Few people should have walked this road. If Liu Haizhu was not wearing a pair of thick canvas pants for labor protection, his legs might be slammed. The thorns beside it drew countless blood paths.

Finally, they came to a ravine.Old Wei stopped his head: "Come, sit here, on the edge of the ditch." "Sit here?" Liu Haizhu looked puzzled. He was so puzzled that he dared to walk such a long way just to come here? "If you are told to sit, you can sit. Come, light a cigarette, and smoke the mosquitoes! The big mosquitoes in this mountain, one bite, is enough to itch you for three days." Liu Haizhu lit a cigarette for Old Wei Tou and said, "Then our father and I come here to feed mosquitoes in the middle of the night?" "Feed the mosquitoes? I haven't**** never heard of anyone being bitten to death by mosquitoes." Old Wei puffed out his cigarette leisurely, and asked Liu Haizhu, "Zhuzi, what do you think of this place?"

"The air is good, um, and the scenery is also good." "Well, I came here on such an autumn night 30 years ago. Since that day, I have decided to live here for the rest of my life." Liu Haizhu knew that Old Wei Tou might want to tell a story. Since he wanted to tell a story, he couldn't interrupt him and let Old Wei Tou continue. "In the first 30 years of my life, I enjoyed prosperity and wealth, experienced poverty, and did all kinds of absurd things. I went to the Xing'an Mountains in the north and Hong Kong in the south. When I was awesome, my subordinates managed 1,800 people , When I was down and down, I slept on wild mountains and dug wild vegetables to eat. The day I came here, it seemed that I hadn’t eaten serious food for several days and nights. I stumbled here, and I fell asleep when I lay down. I want to get up again." When the old Weitou said these words, he was quite eloquent, and he was not as overbearing as before.

"Why don't you go home? Why are you sleeping here?" "Family?! Where do I have a family? I told you what our family is for. In the years of war and chaos, few of our family survived. After the land reform, there will be no one in my family. Also Fortunately, I was wandering outside at the time, or staying here would be a dead end. I ran back from Sichuan. I used to carry a gun for gmd for a few days before, and I was an official. I was liberated at that time, so I went back to the past My home is impossible. I just ran and ran and ran, and God let me run here, and I will stay here for 30 years.”

Under the moonlight, Liu Haizhu seemed to twitch slightly when he saw Old Wei's delicate and expressionless face. "What's wrong? Uncle Wei." Liu Haizhu asked. "It's okay. That day, after I slept here for a long time, I woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to dig some grass roots to eat. Guess what I dug?" "what?" "Dead man's clothes, dead man's clothes that haven't been rotten!" "It's right here?" Liu Haizhu was taken aback. "Yes, it's right in the ditch below."
