After listening to Zhang Hazi's words, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I originally thought that the 'Mahjong Three Missing One' was specially created to kill the three of us, but I didn't expect that the other party's main purpose was to kill me. Zhang Hazi and Xie Bugui were just incidental, and they were able to It's best to kill him, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't.
I smiled bitterly because I, Luo Xiaoyang, am so virtuous and capable that I can make the other party pay so much attention to me and try so hard to kill me.
Zhang Hazi and Xie Bugui, who are not the arrogant bosses, wouldn't it be more fulfilling to kill them? Why do you have to stare at a little shrimp like me and toss it so hard?
After complaining in my heart, I suddenly felt much more comfortable. No matter what, at least Zhang Hazi and Xie Bugui are safe for the time being, and it seems that the people in Xiejia Village will not be affected. This is already the best result.
After listening to Zhang Hazi's words, Xie Bugui obviously realized that the matter was irreversible, so he frowned and lowered his head to think about the solution.
The village chief and others had been standing aside and listening. Now that they knew that the people in their village would not be in danger, they first breathed a sigh of relief, and then took the initiative to come over and told Zhang Hazi to use whatever was useful to get their village. , just open your mouth.
After saying that, he left with the confidants around him. He walked very fast, obviously intending to spread the good news, so that the two corpses placed in the main room were not enshrined.
Xie Bugui looked at their backs with some resentment and said, "Just throw away your hands and just hang up if it doesn't have anything to do with you?"
I don't think so. After all, people in the village are in panic now, and the most important thing is to stabilize people's hearts. Moreover, manpower is needed to organize funerals for Xie Chuanji's grandfather and grandson. If the mood of the villagers has not stabilized, who would be willing to come here to hold funerals for others and prepare for their own funerals?
The three of us stayed at Xie Chuanji's house until after ten o'clock in the evening, and then the village chief hurriedly came with a group of people and started busy with the funeral arrangements for their grandfather and grandson.
During this period, Xie Bugui and Zhang Hazi discussed many cracking methods, but they were rejected one by one. At the end of the discussion, both of them fell silent, and the atmosphere became very heavy.
On the way back to Xie Bu's house, none of us spoke. We just walked quietly, not very fast. It was obviously a short journey, but we felt like we had walked on a long march of thousands of miles. Because we all know that in less than two hours, I will be 'row after row'.
When he walked to the door, Xie Bugui stopped suddenly, then turned around and looked at Zhang Hazi and said, is it possible for me to replace Xiaoyang at the table and play mahjong?
There is no need for Zhang Hazi to answer this question. I know the answer myself. I am facing liquidation because I bear the luck of the Xie family that your grandfather left to me. Even if you are willing to replace me, you cannot replace me.
But to be honest, I was very touched when I heard Xie Bugui raise such a question. After all, Xie Bugui and I had only known each other for a few days, but he was willing to trade his life for mine. How could this not be touching?
Zhang Hazi did not refuse immediately, but asked if he would not return, are you not afraid of death?
Xie Bugui said, who is not afraid of death? But I invited you two here, so naturally I want you to leave safely. In addition, Xiaoyang became like this because of the coffin opening incident. Everything started because of me, and naturally it will end because of me.
The Xie family is very particular about the cycle of cause and effect, and this is indeed true. But little brother, my fault is not you, but your grandpa!
After Zhang Hazi heard Xie Bugui's words, he didn't comment. He just patted Xie Bugui's shoulder and said something that Xie Bugui didn't understand. There were many things, so don't be sentimental.
After saying that, Zhang Hazi opened the door and went straight into the house without stopping at all.
Xie Liushang came back early, and there was a duck at the door of the kitchen (on the right side of the yard, perpendicular to the main house). Apparently he bought the duck after listening to Xie Bugui's words, and asked me to make beer duck for them. As a result, we went to bed before we came back.
I looked at the time and saw that it was already eleven o'clock. In another hour, I might be taken away by San Queyi. I was a little scared before, but now that there was really only such a little time left, I became calm. Come down.
I thought I only had one hour left in my life, so don’t waste it, so I asked Xie Bugui to slaughter the ducks, while I was boiling water in the kitchen to prepare for plucking the feathers, planning to do it again for them at the last moment. My specialty is beer duck.
Beer duck needs to be stewed in beer, I hope there is still enough time.
When boiling water, I burn the fire as high as possible to save the time of boiling water.
While I was controlling the heat, Xie Bugui had already slaughtered the duck and threw it in for me from the door. Fortunately, there was a lid on the pot, otherwise the duck would have smashed into the pot and the water inside would have splashed out and scalded me to death.
I yelled and thanked him but refused to say anything, asking him to do things more safely. He didn't reply to me, but turned around and left. For the next period of time, I saw him walking around outside the kitchen, not knowing what he was doing.
I thought that I was probably thinking of a solution, so I was pacing back and forth anxiously.
While lighting the fire, I advised him to just do his best in everything. There is no need to be too forceful, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
He didn't reply to me and was still walking back and forth outside the kitchen. He walked faster and faster, looking extremely anxious.
I have said everything that needs to be said, and the rest is beyond my control.
After the water boiled, I picked up the duck on the lid of the pot and almost screamed. Because I saw that the knife edge on the duck's neck was very strange, as if the knife was very dull and had been chopped countless times on its neck, destroying the meat and bones on the neck!
Seeing this, I couldn't help but yell at Xie Bugui who was walking outside, you can't just change the knife to a sharper one, why should you let it suffer?
As I said that, I threw the duck into the bucket, scooped out boiling water and soaked it. After three minutes, I started plucking its feathers. During this period, I will reduce the fire in the stove, as long as it does not go out.
When I had cut the duck meat and was about to put it into the pot, Xie Bugui stopped pacing. I thought it was just right, so I asked him to help me chop some firewood. After calling several times, I found that the guy didn't respond. I, and judging from the shadow, was standing there motionless.
I thought to myself, shouldn't I just say a few words to you? You still have a temper? Just when I was about to raise my head and say something to him, I saw that figure standing straight outside the window, staring straight at me!
And through the flames coming out of the stove hole, I could clearly see that its face was not that of Xie Bugui at all, but that of Xie Buxin who should have been buried!
It slammed its head against the kitchen window. The papery glass and slender window frame could not withstand the impact. It was instantly shattered, revealing its livid face with a bright red mouth and a few duck feathers!
The duck that was just thrown in was not slaughtered by Xie Bugui at all, but this guy bit the duck's neck with his mouth and killed the duck forcefully! No wonder the wound on the duck's neck looks like a piece of rotten meat. It turns out that it was bitten with its mouth!
Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on my back. Doesn't that mean that what was walking back and forth outside the kitchen just now was not Xie Bugui at all, but Xie Buxin! ? Is it Xie Buxin who I just reprimanded? !
Before I could react, I saw Xie Buxin slowly raising his right hand, holding a chisel (zan, four tones) used to carve words on tombstones! Its tip is extremely sharp, and under the firelight, it emits bursts of cold light...
