Chapter XX

"last year?"

"Oh, no, if you count it now..." The man turned his fingers, "It should be the year before yesterday..."

"You mean, your youngest brother was crushed to death by the kiln collapse?..."

“Yes…”

At that time, when I went to dig a clock in the abandoned house, I had dealt with the five dead workers, and I felt a little cold in my heart...

"What does your youngest brother look like?" I asked.

This man seemed a little puzzled when he saw so many questions from me, but he didn't say anything and gestured with his hands.

"It's similar to my figure. When he was on a construction site, two front teeth were smashed by bricks. Those who played with him called him Huoyazi..."

Huoyazi?…The appearance of this person appeared in my mind.

The man took a sip of cigarettes, "It's very evil to say..."

"Oh?" I came to my senses.

"The night before, he seemed to know that something was going to happen. He called me for a long time and I wondered why he is so stingy, why is he so willing to pay for the phone bill? I told him, "If you really can't do it, come and play with me. It's not a good deal for a phone call for so long..."

"What did he say?"

"He didn't even think about my words, he just kept talking on the phone (nagging). Why are you talking? When I asked me to go back to my hometown, I would go and see his old man (dad)..."

I frowned, "Are you not his brother?"

"No, cousin..." The man twisted his nose with his hand and wiped it on his shoes. "I asked him, "I asked him if you have something to do with me? Why did I hear you speak so strangely?"

"What did he say?"

"He said I'm fine, I just miss you... He hung up the phone later, and the next day, I heard that a kiln in the brick kiln factory where he was working had collapsed and he was crushed to death. At that time, my heart was so worried, alas, my ancestors... God is not open, mom is selling skin..."

"Why are you scolding God?" I swallowed.

"What should I do not scold me? I will scold me. God has the ability to take me away too..." The man patted his chest and said to himself, spitting out all the time. "I'm a life of rotten and I'm not afraid of anything. I came home to collect corn (corn) last year and didn't find a job, so I came here. I just wanted to see his God's turtle son, whether he dares to take away the old man, I..."

"Okay, okay, brother, don't be excited, come on, smoke another cigarette..."

This person's appearance, coupled with his dialect, was really cute. I held back my smile and took out another cigarette and handed it to him. He lit the cigarette and took a angrily sip.

"When your youngest brother used to be at work here, who did you know who he is more familiar with?"

"I don't know much about this. After all, he has been dead for a long time when I came. He himself doesn't like to talk much. I only know that he has a good relationship with Accountant Wang and often plays with him..."

"Accountant Wang? Is Wang Manqiang?"

"Yes, the one who died last year..."

After hearing this person say this, I couldn't help but fall into deep thoughts. I couldn't figure out what I was thinking about. There were all kinds of mixed thoughts in my heart, and I had no clue.

"Oh..." The man came like a chicken crowing, and at the same time he slapped his hand on his legs, which scared me.

"What's wrong?"

"I remember, when he was alive, he seemed to have a girl talked about here..."

"girlfriend?"

"Yeah, I remember he told me once that girl was from the city. He said it was Accountant Wang's wife who introduced them to him..."

Accountant Wang’s wife? I was stunned. Accountant Wang’s wife had long died. There is no doubt that the “wife” of Accountant Wang mentioned by this person must be the female teacher…

I walked around the brick kiln factory and found nothing, so I called Yuxin, said goodbye to Boss Wu, and left the brick kiln factory.

"Where are we going, A Leng?" Yu Xin asked when she got back into the car.

I thought about it and said, "Let's go to the village of Accountant Wang, and find that female teacher..."

Yu Xin glanced at me sideways, with a smile on her face, "What, do you miss me?"

"What..."

I wanted to cry and told Yu Xin everything I had just asked about it.

"Anyway, there's nothing to do when you go back, so we might as well go around..."

"Okay." Yu Xin smiled, "You are quite smart. You don't have to pay for gasoline, and there is also a free driver..."

"Hehe...Yu Xin."

"Um?"

"Your father..." I frowned and thoughtfully, "Why did you betrothed to that boss Wang?"

Yu Xin's smile subsided.

"Sorry, shouldn't I ask?"

"It's okay..." Yu Xin smiled bitterly, "I just don't understand why. When I asked Brother Wang after I went to ask him, he refused to say that, so I turned against him... Why, do you suspect that Brother Wang's death has something to do with my father?"

"No, I'll ask casually... I'll say something, don't be angry."

"Tell me."

"I think your father is so mysterious."

"Haha, I'll say something, do you believe it?"

"you say."

Yu Xin looked at me, "I don't even know what he does."

"this…"

"I know you don't believe it, but I'm telling the truth. I never knew what he did. In the past, I was just a tool. He said that I would go to eat with whom I would go to eat with. He said that I would do whatever I asked me to do. Later, he threw me to Brother Wang like he threw me into a tool. Although I don't love Brother Wang, Brother Wang has always been very nice to me. With him, I tasted the warmth of the world and the warmth of family affection. Just when I was about to accept my fate and plan to live with Brother Wang, Brother Wang died..."

Yu Xin smiled again, her smile contained endless bitterness, "A Leng..."

"Um?"

"If..." Yu Xin bit her lip hard, "Brother Wang's death was not caused by the house evil, but related to my father, then I must have been with him..."

"Well, but don't think so much. Be good, I think it must have nothing to do with your father. I'm just guessing the cause of Boss Wang's death..."

In the following time, Yuxin and I didn’t say anything, and each thought about our worries. I felt sad that Yuxin had such a cold-blooded father. Since the last time she parted in the villa, Yuxin’s father has never called her, including the New Year…

When we arrived at the village of Accountant Wang, we saw that the gate of Accountant Wang’s house was locked and there was no one at all. We went to the house of Wang Mangui.

"I've been here. I came to such a woman before the New Year. She was quite handsome. She said that she was Wang Manqiang's wife who had not passed by. She wanted to take Wang Manqiang's son Xiaodong to study in the city, and then picked him up..."

"Do you know where they live in the city?"

"I don't know much about this. I only heard that some time ago, Xiaodong seemed to be touched by a car and was hospitalized. Some relatives of Manqiang even bought something to see him."

"Oh? Which hospital?"

"It seems..."

Wang Mangui thought about it and told us his name. Yu Xin and I looked at each other. It was the hospital where Mr. Yang lived.

When I arrived at the hospital, I directly looked for the deputy director. The vice president pushed his glasses up and stared at me up and down for a while before he recognized me. With the help of the vice president, we transferred the hospitalization registration of Accountant Wang’s son Wang Xiaodong. Based on the address written on it, Yuxin and I came to a community.

This is a place similar to a village in the city, and the buildings look messy. Bypassing a two-story building and passing through a long alley, we came to a tile house. On the road behind the house, various cars were spraying exhaust gas and shouting loudly. In the small courtyard as big as a palm in front of the house, a woman was tying her hair randomly and was washing clothes with a washboard.

"Excuse me…"

When this woman looked up, I realized that it was the female teacher. In a few months, it seemed like a few years had passed on her, and she looked much haggard and aged. Seeing that it was us, the female teacher was very happy and hurriedly let us into the house...

"You are asking, the girlfriend of the brick kiln factory?" The female teacher was still weak in speaking.

"Yeah, yes." I nodded.

"She is dead..."

"Die?" I was stunned. "When did I die?"

"Just a while ago..." said the female teacher, "She was originally a school worker in the kindergarten where I taught and had a good relationship with me. At that time, Brother Manqiang took Huoyazi to my original residence in the city from time to time to play. Once, Brother Manqiang got drunk, and Huoyazi took advantage of the situation and used the alcohol to touch me, and wanted to follow me... that..."

The female teacher said, lowering her head and I swallowed.

"I promised him to introduce him to a girlfriend then, and he stopped. Later, I introduced the school worker to him. But after a long time, the shogun was crushed to death by the collapsed brick kiln... A few years ago, I took Xiaodong to the city to find a house and found the school worker. She happened to be going to work as a nanny for a boss's house, and food and accommodation were all at other people's house, so she sublet the house where she originally lived to me. One day later, she ran over happily and told me that she was raped by the boss's father from the countryside..."

I frowned and thought, what a mess, is this all messy, and I am still very happy when I was raped?

"The boss originally agreed that as long as she didn't call the police, she would give her 100,000 yuan. She went to the hospital for examination and found that she was pregnant. The boss had physical problems and had no children with his wife. After hearing what she said, she said that as long as she was willing to give birth to the child, she would add 200,000 yuan to her..."

"What then?" Yu Xin couldn't help asking.

"Then she agreed..." The female teacher smiled bitterly, "Since then, she was supported by the boss's house like a god. If she went out, the boss hired a driver to drive and protect her. She had no place to go, and she just ran to me every day. She felt that she had money and became a top-notch person. In fact, she came here to find a sense of superiority. She was domineering in front of me, and she didn't look at the ground when she walked..."

I couldn't help but look at Yu Xin with laughter and cry.

"Then why did she die?" I asked.
