The Heartless Mage Chapter 168: Overnight in Blackwater

Wuxin and Su Tao sat under the stage, looking up at the group comedy "Noose on the Yankee" that was being performed on the stage. Chen Daguang lived in Zhuzui Commune for a few days and inspected the production teams of all sizes in the commune. Just like a new emperor inspecting his own territory, the more he sees it, the more beautiful he is, and he has to go everywhere in person. Now, before he left the commune, the commune held another party specially to make the county cadres happy.

As soon as the allegro was over, the announcer came to the stage with his head held high and said loudly, "Let's listen to the allegro "The Dominican People Miss Chairman Mao"!"

There was warm applause from the audience, Wuxin and Su Tao took the opportunity to bow their heads and stuffed a hard candy into their mouths together.

The gala was mainly about joy. After an allegiance was over, the live report drama "America and Jiang Spy Nowhere to Run" was staged. When the party came to an end, Chen Daguang came to the stage full of passion, and gave a speech: "I was very infected after watching the performances of the comrades, and I couldn't help but feel wild, and I wanted to do a good job for the pig mouth commune. A poem!"

Everyone in the audience listened to his poetic transformation into a beast, and those with a little knowledge all smiled and bowed their heads. And Chen Daguang cleared his throat and recited aloud: "Under the prairie of the pig head mountain, the members of the pig mouth have a strong will. The chairman's thoughts are in the direction, and dare to turn the barren mountains into good fields!"

There was thunderous applause from all directions, even though there was no prairie under Pigtou Mountain.

Chen Daguang exuded poetry and had a cordial conversation with the heroine of the live newspaper drama. In the end, due to time constraints, he reluctantly got on a jeep and headed to Feiziling Commune. Feiziling Commune, like Zhuzui Commune, is a large commune with five production brigades under its jurisdiction. The five production brigades all lie in the mountain nests, one in the east and one in the west, far apart. Chen Daguang did not leave the county seat and did not know his own territory. Now that I really walked step by step, I realized that I was really amazing.

On a sunny afternoon, Chen Daguang and his party arrived at the Lamashan production team. Wuxin and Su Tao sat in the carriage for a long time, and the bones all over the body hurt. After entering the village, they were freed, and the two sat under the shade of a big tree beside the well platform. Unintentionally, they took out a precocious radish from their schoolbag and handed it to Su Tao. The water radish is just a palm long, with red skin and white heart, sweet and spicy, Su Tao took a bite, and his mouth cracked. Wuxin lowered his head and plucked another water radish from Bai Liuli's sharp teeth - Bai Liuli was lying in her schoolbag on her own initiative and imitated Shennong to taste a hundred herbs, no matter what food she saw, she would open her mouth to take a bite. As a result, today the barb tooth was stuck in the water radish, and he couldn't swallow it and couldn't pull it out. His big mouth was open for a long time.

Wuxin knew that Bai Liuli's mouth was clean, so she didn't dislike it. After picking the radish and taking a bite, he leaned his body in the mouthful of fresh juice, and tapped Su Tao lightly with his shoulder. Su Tao swayed and bumped back while chewing the radish.

"If I can always go outside..." Su Tao said, "It's good too."

Wuxin ate up the water radish in two bites and turned to untie Su Tao's braid. The hair is messy, and the braids are thorny. Su Tao nibbled at the water radish in small bites, letting her fingers comb through her hair inadvertently. A braid was neatly braided, Su Tao turned around and sent the other side to Wuxin. Wuxin was so close to her that she could catch a glimpse of his eyebrows from the corner of her eyes. Fingernails ran across her scalp, fingers pierced through black hair, and the radish in her mouth suddenly lost its taste. She stared blankly ahead and heard her heart beating.

The ends of the re-tied braids fell to her chest, and she slowly turned her face to look at Wuxin. In fact, she is really "self-defeating from the people". She doesn't recognize anyone except Wuxin. In the world, she is insulated from everything.

Wuxin met her gaze and smiled: "What are you looking at? I don't have any hair to comb for you."

Su Tao also laughed, raising her hand to gently touch Wuxin's head: "Why doesn't your hair always grow?"

Wuxin replied: "It's not good if it doesn't grow long? It saves the money to go to the barber shop."

Su Tao withdrew her hand and whispered, "You can save several popsicles a year."

Wuxin was about to answer, but suddenly a young man shouted from a distance: "Wuxin, you two come too! Lama Mountain can't live there, Director Chen wants to take us to Heishuiwa first."

Wuxin pulled Su Tao to stand up: "Go to Heishuiwa? Don't you have to climb a mountain to go to Heishuiwa?"

Young people walk and answer, go farther and farther: "Let's start now, it's too late to climb the mountain!"

I had no choice but to go to the brigade with Su Taoqiang. A large carriage has been prepared in the brigade headquarters, because from the Lamashan production team to the Heishuiwa production team, there is an asphalt road, but after the summer, after several heavy rainstorms, there are several sections of the mountain on the road. The landslide has long been impassable. If you don't take the road and take the mountain road, no matter how good the jeep is, it can't help bumping, so whether it is for people or for the jeep, it is more suitable to take a horse-drawn carriage.

The county cadres went to the villages and lived in the villagers' homes. Lama Mountain is too poor, and the village is dominated by adobe houses that are crooked, and there are not many decent houses. The cadres in the county are all like gods, how can they be settled in a half-collapsed house? Chen Daguang has always liked to carry forward his style in small things. He had to go to the black puddle in the morning and evening. It was the same whether he walked early or late. So he took a few smart confidants and set off first.

Wuxin and Su Tao ate two water radishes. They thought they would be able to stroll around all afternoon, but they were caught by Chen Daguang on the carriage again. Sitting on the board of the car with their knees in their arms, they smashed the carrot fart all the way. Fortunately, the revolutionary masses have always been heroic and are not ashamed of farting. Su Tao lowered her head deeply, wishing she could tuck her head into the collar of her shirt, she bent over and held her head with both hands, her appearance was also very melancholy. The white glazed plate was unknown in the schoolbag, and he thought it was because the road conditions were bad and the carriage rattled.

The carriage traveled for more than two hours, and finally reached the black puddle when the twilight was dark. The leader of the Heishuiwa production team knew that the director of the county revolutionary committee was coming, but the time in his memory was tomorrow, and now he suddenly heard that Chen Daguang had come down to earth, and he was so frightened that he pulled his shoes and ran out. When he heard that Chen Daguang was here to stay, the team leader immediately sent someone to clean up two rooms of his own house, and he took his wife, children and children to live in the team headquarters. Logically speaking, two houses would be enough for a person in a carriage, but there was Su Tao among the people in the carriage, and Wuxin and Su Tao would never break up with each other. Su Tao is a woman. Although she is already recognized as being indiscreet, but only being indiscreet to Wuxin alone cannot be regarded as a fox. Chen Daguang was in love for a while, and seeing that the neighbor was also a brick house, he asked the captain to go to the next door and asked for an additional clean room for Wuxin and Su Tao to live in.

Wuxin was very grateful for Chen Daguang's kindness, and after the dinner with wine and meat, he asked Su Tao to take Bai Liuli back to his room to rest, and accompanied Chen Daguang to walk around the village. When the villagers learned that people from the county were coming, they were too scared to leave the house because of their cowardly officials, and the village alley was silent. The brigade leader followed Chen Daguang with several brigade cadres, talking and laughing carefully. Not long after walking like this, the door of a family in front opened wide, but there was a faint cry. Chen Daguang stopped in his footsteps, stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and turned to ask the team leader Zhao Guanghe: "Old Zhao, what's going on?"

Zhao Guanghe changed color suddenly, and then smiled again: "Director Chen, I know their daughter, the girl died the day before yesterday, and the funeral has not yet been released."

Chen Daguang asked absentmindedly, "What is the composition of their family?"

Zhao Guanghe immediately replied: "The landlord. In the past, his family was the richest in the whole village, and he oppressed our poor and lower-middle peasants."

Chen Daguang raised his eyebrows: "A descendant of a landowner will die if he dies, so what else can he scream? Now that the situation is very good, are they screaming to death for a girl?"

Zhao Guanghe is gearing up: "Director Chen is right, their family is a monster, I don't know who they are screaming for!"

Chen Daguang nodded: "Besides, it's like listening to their donkeys howling, so the effect is not good!"

When the voice fell, he suddenly felt his sleeves tighten. He turned his face and found that he was pulling himself unintentionally. Raising his eyebrows inexplicably, he waved his hand in public: "You all go back, I'll have a word with him."

When the captain and the others really stepped back, Chen Daguang heard Wuxin say: "The people in the yard are not easy to die."

Chen Daguang stared: "Could it be that there is pubic hair in it?"

Wuxin listened to his words, and immediately wanted to laugh, but couldn't help it: "There is no conspiracy, I just say that the deceased is uneasy, the ghost is still alive, you'd better not go any further, in case of collision What, it's not good for you."

Chen Daguang thought for a while, then asked in a low voice, "You mean...the dead in their family can be resurrected?"

Wuxin shook his head slowly: "No... Anyway, I feel that their house is too dark, so I advise you."

Chen Daguang reached out and pointed to the tip of his nose: "You are getting more and more scary."

Chen Daguang listened to people's persuasion, had a full meal, and walked back with his hands behind his back. When he was about to go back to his residence, he accidentally turned his head to look, and suddenly found that Wuxin was gone.

He raised his hand calmly and touched the pistol hidden in his waist. Chen Daguang made a murmur, wondering if he was going to **** again?

At the same time, Wuxin has quietly returned to the original path. Mi cried to the front of the courtyard, he stepped over the threshold, and stopped in front of an old couple in the courtyard. The old couple were in ragged clothes, and there was no bench under them, and they sat staggered on the ground. The door behind him was wide open, and you could see the dark walls of the house. In the center was a door panel padded with bricks, and a corpse was lying straight on the door panel.

The old couple suddenly saw the stranger and hurriedly stood up supporting each other. Without waiting for them to ask each other, Wuxin said directly, "How many days have you been dead?"

The old lady had white hair on her head, as if she was being bullied, and she answered all questions tremblingly: "Two or two days."

Wuxin tilted his head and looked at the corpse in the room again, and found that the corpse was actually wearing a dirty red jacket, with a square white cloth covering his head and face.

"Didn't change the clothes for the child?" Wuxin asked the old lady: "If you don't have new clothes, the old ones will do."

The old lady closed her eyes fiercely and squeezed out a large teardrop. No need to answer, no intention to understand - neither does the old one.

Wuxin sighed and said again: "Before the sun goes down, cremate her. My own child knows, I won't say much."

The voice fell, and he turned to leave. The old man grabbed his arm: "Wait!"

Wuxin stopped: "You don't have to say some things, and I don't have to listen. Cremation of corpses should not be considered counter-revolutionary behavior."

The old man took a long breath, and then he started crying again: "My girl is unwilling to leave! There is nothing more wronged than her."

Wuxin turned around and said to the old man, "I'm not a cadre in the county, and I can't avenge you either."

The old man probably hadn't received the kindness of outsiders for a long time. Hearing Wuxin's words, his face was filled with tears streaming down the wrinkles of the ravines. Panting and raising his hand, he pointed to the east and then to the west, sending a trembling voice from his mouth: "They all know... they all know... no one said a word of justice..."

Incoherent, the old man told the cause of his girl's death. It turned out that the girl's name was Xiao Cui. She just turned seventeen this year. She was born with a good appearance, and she was a pretty girl. It would be better if she wasn't pretty, and it was because of her beauty that she fell into the eyes of the team leader, Zhao Guanghe. Zhao Guanghe, as a tyrant in Heishuiwa, has similar hobbies to Chen Daguang, and loves to appreciate women. Xiaocui was harmed by him for a year. Because the villagers dared not comment on Zhao Guanghe, they didn't speak and panicked, so the persimmons picked it up softly and agreed that Xiaocui was a coquettish fox. At the beginning of the year, Xiaocui was pregnant. Since she was not married, she couldn't get a letter of introduction to go to the hospital for an abortion, so Zhao Guanghe blocked her in the room and directly aborted her with fists and feet.

Then, Xiaocui went crazy.

Putting on the little red jacket at the bottom of the press box at home, she ran around the village crying and laughing. Her parents were busy with farm work and had no time to look after her. As a result, she climbed up a tall rock and fell to her death.

"I know something is wrong with Xiaocui..." The old man told Wuxin in a terrifying way: "She has been bleeding in the seven orifices for two days and one night. I went to the half-immortal in the village, and she sealed Xiaocui's body with wax. Seven orifices, I can’t seal it seven times. If something is wrong, it’s not right. Her mother and I are not afraid of her. Don’t do bad things, and don’t be afraid of ghosts. We are not afraid, some people are afraid.”

The original intention of Wuxin was to persuade the old couple to destroy the corpse, but after listening to the old man's words, he decided to ignore his business and go back to sleep. But just as he was about to leave, a cool breeze suddenly blew across the courtyard, and the white cloth handkerchief on Xiao Cui's face in the house was lifted by the wind, revealing half of his twisted face.

Wuxin looked back at the courtyard gate, wanting to see the origin of the wind. Two exclamations suddenly sounded in his ears, and he hurriedly looked at the two old people in front of him, and saw the old couple stretch their fingers into the room together. And the corpse that was just parked on the door panel disappeared in an instant.

Another gust of cool wind blew through the house, making the two broken windows clatter. Wuxin felt a chill in his heart, only to feel the yin around him suddenly rising. Just as he was about to turn around and walk out of the courtyard, his arms suddenly ached. Looking up, I saw the old couple grabbing their arms respectively, the two pairs of turbid old eyes were sunk in the loose eyelids, and the previously dull eyes had turned sharp. Seeing that his arm was tightly bound, he bent down and turned sideways, bringing the front of his clothes to his hand. He grabbed one side of the shirt and tugged it fiercely, the buttons collapsed, and he squatted down and took advantage of the situation, his arms quickly pulled out from the sleeves. Immediately, he kicked the nearest old man down. He turned a few steps and rushed out of the hospital door, shouting loudly in the dim twilight: "Chen Daguang! Something happened!"
