But at this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
I woke up instantly.
I carefully reached out and pressed the phone, but the Wang family fool didn't notice me.
After all, from such a long distance, it was impossible for him to hear the vibrations against his flesh.
I took a deep look at the funeral photo. I couldn't see the words clearly. The photo on the funeral photo was indeed my mother's.
After carefully getting off the wall, I tiptoed onto the village road and ran towards the inside of the village.
After running onto the main road, I panted and took out my cell phone.
I took it out and saw that it was grandma who called me back.
I called back, but she stopped answering.
At this moment, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon without realizing it.
When the sun reaches dusk, red flaming clouds hang in the sky.
After hesitating for a while, I did not go home, but walked around the other end of the village road towards the old widower's house.
The idiot Wang family poached my mother, and I was very angry, but the matter between my father and Zhang Shuiling had to be resolved, and Blind Chen couldn't go back.
I have to stay rational. If I get carried away by anger, something will happen.
This time I was much more careful. Even when walking, I would pay attention to whether there was anyone following me.
There are many willow trees along the river, and there is only one path, so the view is always disturbed.
On one side is the Xiaoliu River, and on the other side is the fruit forest that has been abandoned for a long time.
I paid careful attention to the road as my grandma said.
The old widower's house was on the right side of the village entrance, three miles down the Xiaoliu River, and on the other side of the river, they built a small yard with a bamboo forest next to it.
Strictly speaking, after crossing Xiaoliu River, you are almost out of Xiaoliu Village, and you can even say you are living outside the village.
It is also conceivable that the butcher's family disliked the old widower and drove him outside the village.
Calculating the distance, I suddenly saw a bamboo forest in my sight.
From the bushes next to me, a hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed my wrist fiercely, and dragged me inside!
My complexion changed drastically, and I immediately reacted and was about to resist.
"sixteen."
A deep voice reached my ears, my heart beat wildly, and I suppressed my desire to take action.
In the dimly lit orchard, Blind Man Chen hunched over his back and looked at me intently.
Beside him, the wolf mastiff wagged its tail at me.
"Uncle Chen... I finally found you..."
Blind Chen made a booing gesture.
I originally wanted to ask him why he didn't go back yet. He had been out for so long, which would have taken him a day and a night. Then he gave up, there must be some reason for Blind Chen to come out.
It seems that he also discovered something!
My thoughts were just fleeting, and blind man Chen motioned for me to move forward, and I followed him closer. This fruit forest was completely connected to the bamboo forest in front of me.
From where we are standing, outsiders passing by would not be able to see us here unless they look carefully.
Standing at the intersection with the bamboo forest, you can see a small yard through the gaps in the bamboo forest. A bamboo fence simply surrounds a brick house.
There was a bamboo chair placed in the yard, with an old man in his seventies lying on it.
"Uncle Chen, how did you follow the old widower?" I still couldn't help myself and asked cautiously.
Blind Chen lowered his head and glanced at the wolf mastiff.
My heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly realized that I had misunderstood that the wolf mastiff was following the person delivering the coffin.
It doesn't look like that at all now.
I'm afraid it was the fool from the Wang family who came to deliver the coffin after the wolf mastiff left first.
"Something happened in the courtyard...Uncle Chen, please go back with me first." I lowered my voice and continued.
By eavesdropping on what the fool in the Wang family said, I already knew that my dad's death had nothing to do with the old widower, so there was no need to provoke the old widower anymore, especially since he already had a grudge against our family.
I always feel that this old widower cannot be a simple person.
Blind Chen did not move, and only said one word: "Wait."
I was speechless, so I could only wait as he said.
Time passed very slowly, the fire clouds on the horizon gradually dispersed, the sun completely sank behind the clouds, and night fell.
The old widower stood up unsteadily and entered the house.
"He's digging."
At this time, Blind Chen's voice became much more normal and seemed less suppressed.
"Digging?" I frowned.
"Yeah. I dig from dark to dawn. I sleep outside and eat all day during the day, and continue digging at night."
After saying this, Blind Chen stopped talking and motioned for me to continue reading.
After waiting for about an hour, the old widower came out of the house again, but he had a flat bag on his shoulders and two buckets!
When they arrived at the Xiaoliu River, the old widower poured out the contents of the bucket.
From such a long distance, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could see clearly that what he poured out was dirt!
A few minutes later the old widower returned to the house.
There was sweat on my forehead.
Blind Chen said again: "He wanted to steal the body. It must have been going on for many years."
"Sixteen, to avoid long nights and dreams, put everything aside now and dig out your grandfather!"
Suddenly, Blind Chen's words made my heart beat even more.
I was actually guessing just now, but Chen Xiazi explained it to me in just one sentence, and it made me feel sick!
The old widower indeed had nothing to do with everything, but where could he dig in the middle of the night?
Only then did I realize that the place where he lived was exactly on a parallel line from where my grandfather filled the foundation!
