Chapter 74 The Supernatural Old Snake
Chapter 74 The Supernatural Old Snake
"That's not true." The village head smiled: "Oh, I don't know if I should talk about it or not."
Having said that, the village chief didn't hesitate to speak properly, and just listened to him continue:
"At the beginning, the county magistrate sent someone to check the number of poor households. He went directly to the town to get the results and left. He didn't even come to the village."
"Is that right?"
The village head nodded, "Forget it, this is normal. You are still young, so I shouldn't have said these things to you. But I heard that you helped repair the houses of unregistered residents yesterday. At that time, I thought you were a nice young man. If the superiors send young people like you down every time, then the common people below us will be blessed."
Jiang Chu was taken aback, this was the first time someone expressed affirmation to him.
The village head continued: "It may be a young man who hasn't experienced something before, so he just knows how to do everything well."
In a word, the turn of events made Jiang Chu wonder whether the village chief was praising him or belittling him.
"Forget it, I just need to have a clear conscience."
The village chief laughed loudly: "What a clear conscience."
After the village chief left, Bai Qingheng walked up to Jiang Chu, "Do you want him to return to normal?"
Just now he went to look at Xiaojin's head and found that the incision didn't hurt his vitals. The reason for his stupidity must be that he was frightened when he saw something he shouldn't have seen.
Jiang Chu was slightly stunned, the old snake is so powerful, but he didn't know whether to let Xiaojin return to normal.
If he thought of the tragedy of his mother's death, such a bloody scene, would he not be able to accept it.
But now that he is in his thirties, and his father is that old, he should live a normal life and support his family normally.
At this moment, Jiang Chu was caught in a dilemma.
"Qingheng, I don't know."
He hoped that Bai Qingheng in front of him would give him an answer.
The man nodded slightly.
Jiang Chu suddenly fell silent.
Indeed, everyone wants to become a normal person, even fools. What Xiao Jin should remember is to live a normal life no matter what.
"Master, it's done."
Several workers climbed down the ladder in order. Jiang Chu saw this and brought water for them.
Afterwards, he gave the five of them some taels of silver and asked them to have lunch, and wait for them at the inn after eating.
"How do we get him back to normal?"
"He was surprised, and his consciousness didn't want to remember it. If he didn't want to really remember it, we let him dream it."
Jiang Chu took a few steps back in shock: "You can actually control dreams?"
"No, just let him remember that matter intact in his sleep."
So you need to wait until he falls asleep.
Jiang Chu and the others have been staring at Xiao Jin in the dark since the afternoon.
Xiao Jin is like a child, playing around during the day, and asking his father to coax him to sleep at night.
Seeing Xiao Jin fall asleep, Jiang Chu, who was peeping by the window, muttered again: "Will it be scary to think about it at night? Will he not be able to accept it?"
After saying this, he grabbed the sleeve of the person next to him: "Qingheng, what do you think?"
Bai Qingheng whispered: "But he didn't sleep during the day."
"But it's terrible!"
Seeing that Bai Qingheng didn't speak, Jiang Chu had no choice but to lower his head, and said two words softly: "Okay."
Before Bai Qingheng entered the door, he had already appeared beside Xiao Jin's bed.
Xiao Jin's father next to him was soundly asleep.
He put his palm on the small forehead, and a white light directly entered his head. Looking at the scene inside, Jiang Chu's eyes widened.
Before he finished being surprised, Bai Qingheng suddenly appeared beside him.
"Qingheng, are you done?"
Bai Qingheng nodded.
Xiao Jin in the room started to toss and shout, and the noise was so loud that he woke up his father who was sleeping beside him.
"Xiao Jin! Xiao Jin!"
But Xiao Jin still didn't wake up, he was still dreaming!
Bai Qingheng took Jiang Chu back to the inn, and comforted him: "Don't worry, he won't wake up in the middle, let's see how he will be tomorrow."
"Are you hungry?" After speaking, he touched Jiang Chu's stomach.
"Damn, let me take you to eat." He said to himself, took his hand and walked out.
Jiang Chu didn't move.
"What's wrong? Scared?"
Bai Qingheng patted his head, then patted his small face.
"No, I just think you have great powers, and I'm just an ordinary person."
He, a magistrate, unexpectedly developed an inferiority complex, and even felt that he was not worthy of the old snake in front of him.
"..."
"I did this to protect you. Ordinary people have their advantages, and demons have their disadvantages. Everything cannot be generalized."
Jiang Chu pursed his lips: "What you said makes sense, but I don't know the disadvantages of demons, let alone the benefits of humans."
Bai Qingheng had no choice but to say: "Although the demon has magic power and looks glamorous, there will be demon hunters to catch evil things, and even once the demon dies, it will really be wiped out and will not enter reincarnation."
"And what about people? Some of them can be cultivated to become gods, and even after entering reincarnation, they will live life after life."
Jiang Chu was touched by him, only understood that monsters don't have an afterlife, but people can have an afterlife.
"Qing Heng, how old are you now?"
Bai Qingheng did the math, "About 520 years old."
Jiang Chu went on to ask, "Does that count as old or young?"
"I don't know, but some demons have lived for thousands of years."
Jiang Chu nodded: "That's good."
If I live to be a hundred years old, I will be a long-lived person. I don't want to grow old with him, I just hope that this life can last longer.
"Fortunately, I'm only a few years younger." Jiang Chu suddenly felt sad, and then fell silent.
Bai Qingheng paused, not knowing how to comfort him, so she could only hug him into her arms and pat him on the back.
At the beginning, it was obviously a question of whether they deserve it or not, but now it has turned into an even more sad situation for Jiang Chu.
Bai Qingheng whispered softly in his ear: "No matter what you look like, I will never leave you."
Jiang Chu laughed out loud, and buried his head on the man's shoulder, obviously these words really pleased him.
Even though no one can guarantee what will happen in the future, he is still moved.
"That's great, Qing Heng."
The next day, after Jiang Chu woke up, he went to Xiao Jin's house with Bai Qingheng.
At this moment, Xiao Jin's family surrounded almost the whole village, including the village chief.
Last night, Xiao Jin was in a state of madness in his sleep. Xiao Jin's father couldn't wake him up, so he had to knock on the doors of the village doctor's and village head's houses.
Xiao Jin just woke up early this morning, and his eyes were rare clear.
It can be seen that my father is different from the young appearance 30 years ago, and even his face is wrinkled, which is unacceptable for a while.
It took a long time to slow down,
He suddenly revealed that the murderer who killed his mother was actually his neighbor.
For a while, everyone was in an uproar.
It was rare for Xiao Jin to speak so clearly that the common people listened carefully.
The murderer was a neighbor, and the people all looked at the small earthen house next to it in unanimous agreement. Now it has been abandoned, the doors and windows have long been unusable, and the inside cannot be lived, and it is full of weeds.
The owner of the house had already been buried in the soil, and the weeds on the grave were several feet high.
At that time, Xiaojin’s family was considered to be in the upper middle of the village. His father was working outside the home, and his mother was looking after the children at home. Xiaojin’s father had to send money home every month.
And his neighbor, an older man, is from an ordinary family, without a wife, and lives only on his father and mother, living a life of clothes, hands, food, and mouth every day, and he doesn't even want to go out to work, which is worthy of the name.
Later, the neighbor's parents died one after another and had no money. After Xiaojin's father found out, he kindly sent money to the neighbor.This is why after Xiao Jin's mother was murdered, no one thought it was inappropriate for her neighbors to put her in a coffin.
But that day, having nothing to do, he planned to go to Xiao Jin's house for a meal, but when he saw Xiao Jin's mother came back with money, he felt itchy and wanted to steal the money at night.That night, there was a loud noise in the cupboard, and it was difficult for Xiaojin's mother and Xiaojin to wake up. They both found out, and the neighbor had to kill her cruelly when he saw this. Even the young Xiaojin saw this scene, and he chopped off Xiaojin's head again one knife.
For a while, the air was filled with a thick smell of blood, and the neighbor fled, and then buried the knife in the soil and burned the clothes he was wearing.
He was very scared. He didn't expect that he really killed someone. The next day he went to play in other villages as if nothing happened, just to prove that he was not there and had no motive for committing the crime. He didn't know why Xiaojin and his mother were killed.
After returning, he saw so many people surrounding Xiao Jin's house.
He bought a coffin with the money he stole and lowered the coffin for someone else.
Sure enough, Xiaojin's father thanked him after he came back, but he was always feeling uncomfortable.
Afterwards, Xiao Jin did not die, which made him feel comforted, but what if Xiao Jin identified him as the murderer?For a while, they conspired to kill Xiao Jin again.Fortunately, Xiao Jin was stupid.
The neighbors even feel that God pities him, but he always has something on his mind, and he doesn't feel at ease when he goes out to eat, and he always sees those eyes that are not closed in his dreams.
Seeing that Xiao Jin was stupid, he bought medicine with money and hoped to make up for it, but after all, he made a big mistake.
Finally, depressed, he died within a few years.
Now it's already time for people to go out for tea, and the neighbor died because of bad things, and evil is rewarded with evil.
But Xiaojin's family is so innocent. Now he is thirty-four, unmarried, inexperienced, ignorant of interpersonal relationships, like a useless person.
As for Xiaojin's father, although his wish came true, he found out that the murderer turned out to be a brother he trusted, and even thought it ironic that he paid homage to him on the anniversary of his death every year.
But after all, it has been such a long time, and the people in this village will forget it after hearing about it and understanding the truth, and no one will really remember it.
Only Xiao Jin and his father will always remember.
Jiang Chu and Bai Qingheng stayed outside the courtyard when the villagers had finished watching the excitement and almost disappeared.
Looking at Xiaojin and his son who were silently crying in the room, Jiang Chu said: "I always feel that their family is much more deserted than before after I let him remember it. Did we do something wrong?"
"Compared to living in illusion before, facing reality is the real thing to do." Bai Qingheng said.
Afterwards, he left with Jiang Chu.
Afterwards, the village head set an example. As the head of a village, he first expressed sympathy for Xiao Jin's family, and then asked Xiao Jin to learn from him.
Although it will be a long time, Xiao Jin's father finally felt relieved.
