Chapter 2783 Falling into the hole
This was actually the first time Xie Zhi went up the mountain to burn paper for Wang Guang. When the news of Wang Guang's death just came, she fainted on the spot.
After waking up, she cried fiercely for two times. At the time, she was described as gaunt and pale, so her parents never let her go out.
Furthermore, Wang Guang was killed by someone, and the murderer has not yet been found. His body was also left in the Yizhuang in the county seat, and she could not see him even if she wanted to.
Now that Wang Guang has been gone for more than 20 days, and the murderer has been caught, she desperately wants to tell Wang Guang. Seeing that her condition was getting better, her parents finally allowed her to go out, but they still didn't let her go to Wang Guang's grave to burn paper, so she secretly hid here and cried.
Gu Yundong saw that she was about to cry while talking, so he quickly pointed to the wasteland at the foot of the mountain and asked, "Do you know that this land has an owner?"
Xie Zhi was stunned, wiped the corners of his eyes, and looked in the direction of her fingers.
shook his head after a while, "I don't know this, I can only ask the village chief."
"Can I trouble you to take me to the village chief?"
Xie Zhi nodded hastily, "Of course, Madam, do you want to buy this land?"
"Yes."
"Are you going to build a house in our village? Or do you want to cultivate it and grow food?"
The ?? character hasn't been written yet, and Gu Yundong can't be too absolute, so he vaguely said, "This, I'll talk about it when I see the village chief."
"Oh." Xie Zhi didn't ask any more, seeing that he had reached the foot of the mountain and was about to enter the village. She hurriedly tidied up her clothes and wiped the corners of her eyes to avoid being seen.
It's just that she cried for too long and her eyes were too red and swollen. Fortunately, she didn't encounter any villagers along the way.
Xie Zhi couldn't help but wonder, "Where have all the people in the village gone?"
Confused, Xie Zhi brought Gu Yundong to the village chief's house.
As soon as they saw the house, they knew where the villagers had gone. At this moment, most of the villagers in Daxi Village are surrounded by the village head's door, chattering and don't know what they are talking about.
Xie Zhi glanced at Gu Yundong and took a few steps forward.
Gu Yundong approached, and heard a voice full of anger, "If anyone says this again in the future, let me hear it again, don't blame me for being rude."
Gu Yundong looked up and saw a man in his 40s or 50s standing in the middle of the yard, with a calm face and a bit of majesty.
Xie Zhi whispered in her ear, "This is our village chief and my cousin."
Gu Yundong nodded knowingly, then looked at the two people standing in front of Village Chief Xie.
The two should be a husband and wife. After listening to the village chief's words, the man shrank for a moment, but the woman seemed not convinced, and whispered, "But, people outside say that, even the village next door. There are people who are talking about it.”
"I don't care if others are others, but you are from Daxi Village. You watched Wang Guang's child grow up. You know who he is. His bones are not cold now, but you are saying three things behind your back. Fourth, following those rumors and talking nonsense, aren't you afraid that he will climb out from the ground and settle accounts with you?"
Village Chief Xie's voice fell, and some people next to him were filled with righteous indignation, "That is, that child is so sensible, he did business to find his sister, how could it be that he colluded with you, and was shamelessly provoked to kill him. What's wrong? Xie Lao Si, I know that you had conflicts with Wang Guang's parents in the past, but they are gone, and you are still in trouble, it is too much."
