Otherworldly Days

In the early morning of summer, the sun was slowly rising in the east, a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, illuminating the earth, and a corpse quietly floated on the water.

"Ah—" A scream broke the tranquility of this morning.

Hearing that someone drowned in the dead lake, everyone in the village ran over, and the village chief and Li Zheng followed.After a night of soaking, the recovered corpse was already swollen and deformed, but there were still people who could recognize the little brother in the village at a glance.

As soon as the village chief heard who the little brother was, his expression changed.

There was a sound of footsteps, and a man hurriedly walked back home. Once he entered the house, he looked around vigilantly outside, and then closed the door with his backhand.

"That little brother is also pitiful. Ah Mu died early, and his father married a stepbrother and came back, and gave birth to two boys later. Scolding..." Chen Hong came from the village and told everyone about the death in the village, talking about the life experience of the little brother who died was also a pity.

"I heard that he took over after Amu Wang..." Chen Hong made a gesture, and lowered her voice for the following words, not daring to speak too loudly, for fear that someone would listen to it like that.

"This vicious step-mother! I'm not afraid of thunder." Sun Bailian said indignantly after hearing this.

They live outside the village now, and they don't know what happened in the village.Now that he heard about this, Qi Wanfeng sighed, not knowing what to say, "Why are you so overwhelmed?"

"That's right, a good life is lost just like that." Chen Hong also sighed for a while.

Cao Xiangnan, who just came out of the kitchen, heard what Chen Hong said, and came over early in the morning to tell his family Wanfeng such a bloody and dark thing?This didn't seem very good for prenatal education, so he found an excuse to send Wan Feng away.

Qi Wanfeng didn't suspect him, so he went into the kitchen to help.

"Bai Lian, go and help Wan Feng too, I'm afraid he can't do it alone." Seeing that Sun Bailian is still here, Cao Xiangnan sees that Sun Bailian is still here, and with Sun Bailian's impulsive temperament, success is more than failure, Cao Xiangnan dare not let Sun Bailian What do you know, Cao Gang won't settle accounts with him later?

"Okay." Sun Bailian was still immersed in aggrieved one moment, but the next moment when she heard that Wanfeng needed his help, she got up quickly and walked inside.

"I should go too." He should be busy too, and there are still many things waiting for him.

"Wait." Cao Xiangnan himself moved a stool and sat down, let Chen Hong sit down, and said, "Chen Hong, tell me carefully what you just said."

"Ah, Shiro, if you want to know, then I won't hide it from you and tell you. This is how it happened..." Chen Hong slowly told the story from the beginning.

The younger brother who died was the eldest brother of Cao Gui's family. After Cao Gui's ex-wife died, he married a stepbrother who gave birth to two children for him. Naturally, the one who was favored by the family was born later. Of the two boys, the eldest brother is the one that Eminem doesn't love after his father doesn't love him.Everything in the family is decided by the successor Amu Wang. If you have a mother, you will have a stepfather. The eldest brother born to the ex-wife is the successor Amu Wang at home.

But that doesn’t count, the beatings and scoldings of Ji’am Wang’s are not the reason for this little brother’s death, what made him die is because his Ji’am Wang’s sold him to the village chief’s idiot The son is the daughter-in-law.

It turned out that the village head also had a young son, who was originally a clever child, but unfortunately he became a fool when he suffered a serious illness when he was young.Even if he is stupid, his family's mother loves him. At the age of knowing people, his family's mother wants to marry the youngest son.

The old woman of the village head's family fell in love with the elder brother of Cao Gui's family. It happened that the brother's mother died early, and the father of the family didn't care. No one made decisions for him. Yes, I just thought that for a few taels of silver, I could buy her back and be a daughter-in-law.The old woman of the village head's family gave the eldest brother of the Wang family a few taels of silver, and the Wang family of the second family sold the eldest brother. received at home.

For some reason, the man ran away from the village chief, jumped into the lake, and died. Only the people in the village knew about it.

If it weren't for this incident, everyone in the village would have forgotten that the village head had a stupid son. His stupid son was raised in the backyard of the house. He hurt someone after he ran out, and he was locked up at home all the time. Everyone in the village knows about this.How can such a fool who can beat people be able to marry a wife?The village chief's family also committed crimes, and he insisted on buying a brother to be his son's wife.

Now people are dead, and no one even takes the body back.

The people in the village said that this kind of dead brother has a lot of resentment, and the spiritual tablet cannot be entered into the ancestral hall after death, and the corpse cannot be entered into the ancestral grave. Not a single corpse was left behind, and he became a lonely ghost in the mountains, so he would never find his way home.

Now that a person is dead, the parents at home don't care about it, and don't expect the village chief to take care of it, there is not even a single person who can say something fair.

"Hey, it's also a poor one." Chen Hong sighed.

After listening to Chen Hong's words, Cao Xiangnan narrowed his eyes.

He was worried that he would not have the opportunity to clean up the old things of the village chief and the clan, so now is the opportunity presented to him? !It's just a pity that a fresh life was lost just like that.

"Jumping into the lake? It's hard to say whether he jumped into the lake or was killed and thrown into the lake!" The concept of suicide and homicide is completely different.Anyway, dead people can't run away. As for the truth, who has the final say?village head?Rizheng?Or those elders in the village?Or is it the magistrate?

Chen Hong is a smart person, when he heard Cao Silang's words, his eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Cao Silang.

"Chen Hong, there is one thing I want to trouble you to run, you put your ear closer..." Cao Xiangnan smiled and motioned Chen Hong to put his ear closer.After Chen Hong leaned her ear closer, she leaned over and whispered.

It happened that Chen Hong ran a lot in the village on weekdays and was good with many friends in the village. Cao Xiangnan asked Chen Hong to enter the village to discuss this matter loudly with his friends in the village.

The more you try to cover it up, the more I want everyone in the world to know about it!

Isn't he just a village chief?I thought that how old the official is, he can still ignore human life!Do you pretend it's nothing like this when you're dead?

"well."

"Okay, I'll go into the village now." When Chen Hong heard Cao Xiangnan's words, she stood up with a serious expression on her face and said, "I will definitely take care of this matter for you."

I don't know when Cao Gang was standing at the door. I think he heard what Chen Hong said just now.Cao Xiangnan saw Cao Gang when he turned his head, and gave him a wink, and the two of them walked into the house in a tacit understanding.

After the two people made an agreement, Cao Gang came out and called Wang Dahu to drive a carriage to the town, while they went into the village. "Is there no justice in this world! It's just, it's just...it's unreasonable!" Lizheng also knew the whole story, and slapped the table, his old face turned red with anger.

He didn't dare to say a word outside, knowing that the village chief's family had done this, and those elders in the Cao clan, when it was time to speak, no one said anything, and they all became dead.Now it's okay to be dead, so just expose it like this?

There is such a father in the world who allows his stepbrother to kill his own flesh and blood.

And Cao Ageng, as the village head of Caojia Village, should not set an example by doing things for the villagers. Now that he does this kind of thing, can other people's brothers be so ruined?

"Master, don't be angry." Mrs. Lizheng next to me brought a sip of hot tea and said, "Don't be angry, be careful that you will ruin your body, this is the same thing now. It's just a pity, at such a young age, Just gone."

Wang Lan also heard Zhao Ah's talk about the outside world, and his parents didn't give their heads, not to mention that it was still related to the village chief's family, so could they still force them to give their heads?Although his husband is Lizheng in this village, they are no match for the village head and those people in the clan.

Seeing Cao Jiasilang and Cao Gang coming, Zhao Ama hurriedly greeted them inside, and told them in a low voice that the master of the family was angry and asked them to help persuade them.

"Ah Zhao, I see, let's go in and have a look." Cao Xiangnan said.

"Xiang Nan, Ah Gang, you are here." Wang Lan saw the two boys who had come, and welcomed them in with a smile.

Lizheng's complexion was not very good, he was still angry, and when he saw Cao Xiangnan and Cao Gang coming, he sat there and said dejectedly, "I'm just a coward in Lizheng, how many things have happened in the village over the years, they Those people have done so many unconscionable and bad things, I can't even help them get justice, I, I might as well not be righteous here."

"Come on, Seventh Grandpa, if you don't stand upright in front of the people, who else can stand up?" Cao Xiangnan doesn't want Cao Gaozhi to stop being upright in front of the people, so where can he find someone who can compete with the village chief and the Cao clan? people?

"Brother Cao Gang and I came to look for you because of the incident in the village today, and I have heard about it."

"It makes sense that justice is in the hearts of the people. The entire Caojia Village will not be decided by the village chief alone, nor will it be the third grandpa or fourth grandpa or whoever has the final say, but all of us, everyone. Seventh Grandfather, do you think so?" Cao Xiangnan led Lizheng to another road, which was also the purpose of his coming here.

Lizheng heard Cao Xiangnan's words, looked at him with bright eyes, and asked, "Boy, do you have an idea about this?" "Exactly, if I don't have an idea, how dare I come to Grandpa Seven." Cao Xiangnan smiled said.

Seeing them talking about business, after Wang Lan served Zhao Amo tea, he also took his little grandson back to the house.
