Take the buns to hunt ghosts

As the saying goes, strength in numbers is great, and the seven people quickly found the place where the old man lived.Although it is the nearest place where local elderly people live, the location of the house is actually quite remote, and there are not many people walking around.

The house is very dilapidated, it is an earthen house, the gate is an iron gate, and there are broken pictures pasted on it. It can be seen that there is an independent small courtyard inside the iron gate, because the eaves of the house only protrude sharply more than ten meters behind the iron gate. .

Di Hao walked to the iron door with Qiqi in his arms, pulled up the iron ring on the door and knocked a dozen times before he heard footsteps coming from inside.

"Who is it?" A hoarse old voice came from behind the door, and with the sound of "squeak", the iron door was opened, revealing an aged face full of wrinkles.

The old man was obviously taken aback when he saw the people outside the door, he was stunned and didn't know what to say.

Di Hao greeted the old man with a smile, "Grandma, hello, we are the management personnel of the lake area, and would like to ask you about the situation of Shilin Lake."

Regardless of the mood of the people behind after hearing Di Hao's remarks, at least everyone managed to keep their faces unchanged.

The old man in front of him looked suspiciously at Qiqi in Di Hao's arms—did the lake district administrator come to investigate with the child in his arms?

Di Hao pinched Qiqi's butt secretly, and Qiqi smiled at the old man knowingly, "Hi, grandma."

Being courted by a cute child, let alone an adult can't stand it, let alone an old man who already likes children.After hearing this, the old man immediately put a kind smile on his face, and agreed.

However, they were not allowed in. . .

Di Hao just followed the old grandma and stared at her with wide eyes. . .

Qiu Yuan coughed from behind, held back his laughter, walked forward, and said solemnly, "This old man, please take up a moment of your time, please cooperate with our work, and we will have corresponding correspondence later on." This is our ID, and we are definitely serious people." He quickly took out the police ID from his arms, and placed it in front of the old man from a distance, waiting for the old man to read it After one glance, he quickly took it back—anyway, the old man has presbyopia, so he must not be able to see clearly.

Only then did the old man relax his vigilance, glanced at Di Hao, and reprimanded, "Oh boy, you should have said earlier, you should have taken out your certificate earlier, I still don't believe you, old man, please come in quickly."

Di Hao could only smile helplessly—where would he find the certificate to show the old man, and would it be too early to show it.

Everyone followed the old man to the living room. In fact, it was a living room, and there was no sofa. When entering the door, there was a stove with a few small benches scattered around. Sitting down, Di Hao put Qiqi on the ground, then moved two small benches for Qiqi and himself, let Qiqi sit next to him, and continued doing it himself, as if he wanted to have a long talk with the old man, Seeing that Di Hao and the old man continued to do it, everyone moved the stools and continued on their own initiative.

Especially Qiu Yuan and Qin Xiao have never made this kind of wooden bench before, it is quite novel.Qin Zhi looked at his straight suit and trousers, and then at the stool that was not as tall as his calves, and he really didn't have the desire to continue.

"Hey? Why doesn't this handsome guy sit down?" The old man looked up at Qin Zhi, asked suspiciously, and pointed to the stool beside Qin Zhi's feet.

"Pfft..." Brother Qin hurriedly covered his laughing mouth—Young Jun. . .Haha, it was the first time he heard someone call him brother that.

The rest of the people couldn't help but laugh, and Qiu Yuan even laughed shamelessly, pointing to the stool on the ground, and teasingly said, "Hey, handsome boy, sit down quickly."

Qin Zhi felt his forehead throbbing, endured it again and again, reminded himself not to be as knowledgeable as this group of people, and then said with a dark face, "No need, I'm used to standing."

"Yes, yes, he is the kind of person who has been sitting in the office for a long time, and if he sits down again, his waist disc will protrude. Grandma, you can leave him alone." Di Hao didn't give up any chance to black Qin Zhi. The prominence has come out, anyway, it's just that Qin Zhi is not pleasing to the eye.

Qin Zhi twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling depressed for the first time amidst everyone's more cheerful laughter.

Qi Qi patted her father who was crying from tears, raised her arm and pinched her father's face again, "Dad, it's not good, if godfather is here, I should call you a jerk again."

Di Hao's laughter stopped abruptly, he knew that his son was here to trick him today.Touching his nose, Di Hao said awkwardly, "I got it, I got it, Dad stopped laughing."

Seeing Di Hao's red ears, Qin Zhi didn't know what was going on, and the depression in his heart was swept away, and even the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

"Okay, back to the main story. Cough cough." Di Hao raised his throat, glared at Qin Xiao who was still covering his mouth, and then looked at the old man seriously.

"Old man, don't gossip, let me ask straight to the point. The scenery of Shilin Lake is very beautiful. Recently, we also discovered that the resources at the bottom of Shilin Lake are also very rich, so our lake area plans to survey the resources at the bottom of the lake. As a result, This survey has found something." Di Hao quickly finished speaking, then paused, carefully observing the expression on the old man's face.

Sure enough, everyone found that the old man was at a loss after hearing Di Hao's words, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and his face suddenly darkened.

"What did you find?" the old man asked nervously.

Di Hao looked into the eyes of the old man, and whispered two words, "Bone."

The old man's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he said in a panic, "Those bones are none of my business, really none of my business."

"Don't worry, we believe that those things have nothing to do with you. We just want to ask you why there are those bones in the lake?" Di Hao calmed the old man softly, and then said, "You know, the lake area All surveys must be reported to the relevant departments above. When the time comes, we will not know about the bones in the lake. We will definitely investigate to the end. At that time, the villagers in Shilin who are related to Shilin Lake will be affected. You don’t want such a thing to happen, so we want to understand the origin of those bones first, and see if we can let the above Be accommodating and find a solution.”

After what Di Hao said, everyone was stunned for a while, as if it was true, especially from the look of the old man, they absolutely believed it.

The old man sighed, "This is all a crime, you don't know, the people who died in the lake, hey, the people who died in the lake were all people who were soaked in pig cages in the village."

"Immersing a pig cage?" Xu Zihao asked in surprise, "Nowadays is a society ruled by law, and it is illegal for your village to do something like dipping a human life into a pig cage."

The old man looked gloomy, "How did you know that at the time, the villagers only knew that the biggest person in the village was the village head, and the village had its own customs, and no one studied law at that time, that was decades ago, when I was only a few years old Point." Speaking of this, the old man hurriedly waved his hands, "Hey, this is not done in our village now, it was all done decades ago."

In the society decades ago, the legal constraints were not as strong as they are now, especially for the villagers in the villages. The remote places still follow the traditions of the older generation, and the villagers’ thinking has not yet fully improved, so this kind of There is still a high chance that the villagers will make their own decisions.

"Then you can tell us, who are those people who soaked the pig cages?" Di Hao asked.

"Well, at that time, the only people who dipped the pig cages were some women who climbed the wall. The village couldn't tolerate women who did not follow the three obediences and four virtues, so once a woman was found climbing the wall, she must be dipped in a pig cage. This was absolutely unacceptable at the time. Tolerant." The old man said with a sigh, as if remembering that ridiculous time at that time.

"What? Women have to dip into pig cages when they have an affair? In today's society, women dipping into pig cages should have filled up the lake." Qin Xiao said exaggeratedly, and was knocked on the head by Qiu Yuan .

"This is a tradition handed down in the village. Everyone did it a long time ago. The women in the village have a hard time. Their men often have to go to other places to work in order to support their families. It is inevitable for the women to stay in the village alone... .” The old man couldn’t go on, and sighed again.In fact, thinking about it now, she also thinks that the punishment of dipping in a pig cage is too severe, but at that time, people were doing this all the time, and no one would have thought that such an act was cruel.

Everyone was silent after hearing this. They lived in this era, and it was hard for them to say anything about the society at that time.

"However, when I was young, an unjust case happened. Since then, the village has abolished the tradition of dipping women climbing walls into pig cages." The old man suddenly remembered something, and then said to several people.

"Unjust case?" Di Hao's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with this unjust case? Tell us, did the villagers mistake the woman who soaked the pig cage at that time?"

"Yeah, at that time we all thought it was Cui Miao climbing the wall, but who knew... alas." The old man couldn't help sighing when he remembered what happened back then, "Actually, children were not allowed to soak the pig cages at that time." As you can see, I heard this incident from adults later. After Cui Miao soaked the pig cage, a villager accidentally discovered that it was Cui Miao's husband Wu Sanlei and her younger sister who were having sex together. After Cuimiao found out about her adultery, in order to prevent the adultery from being exposed, Cuihe, Cuimiao's younger sister, together with Wu Sanlei, framed Cuimiao for climbing the wall. So, in the end, Cui Miao was... alas." Thinking about it now, they were really too backward and ignorant at that time, and I don't want to think about just relying on the corrections of two people to firmly believe that Cui Miao’s lack of evidence and stupidity in the matter of lying, it is true that at that time they all firmly believed that the truth was in the hands of the majority, but looking back, it was really absurd, so the villagers in the village Talent chose to abolish the tradition of soaking pig cages after knowing the truth.
