On the afternoon of the rain, I was busy on the construction site of the factory north of the village. My father went to find me. He first walked around the construction site alone, and then called me to the wheat field outside the construction site. At that time, the wheat had just turned green and could not cover our feet. We sat down on the ridge of the field.

My father threw me a cigarette, and I took out the fire and lit it for him first. Thinking that he called me here, there must be something important to say. That day, he said the most terrifying thing that I felt in my life.

"Wen Liang, is my 2 million true?" At first his voice was very calm.

"Yes, I've checked it." I knew he was going to lay the groundwork first.

"That's good, you'll do one thing for me next."

"What's the matter?" My heart began to stir.

"Dig a hole for me and fill it in."

"Dig a hole? I'll just dig it. I'll just ask the excavator to go there." I don't understand what he wants to do.

"No, I can't believe it, you can only be the ones."

"What are you doing when you dig a hole?" I don't think it's a good thing.

"Buried things."

"What to bury?" I began to have a bad premonition.

"people!"

"What? People! Who?" I began to be scared.

"A person worth 2 million!"

"You, what do you mean? Where did you come from this 2 million?" I felt increasingly uneasy. I had used the 2 million he gave me.

"You don't have to be afraid, you just need to dig a hole and fill it in." He looked at me, with a look of contempt in his eyes.

"You, are you killing?" I stood up and walked a few steps away from him.

"Not yet, it's almost done."

"No! I can't do it, I'll give you your 2 million." I turned around and walked back.

"Don't you do not do the contract you signed?" He stood up and shouted behind me.

I stopped and didn't look back. It was nothing I wanted to stop doing at that time, but at worst I could give him the money back.

"I said you can only give me 1 million for 2 million, and the other 1 million is for you. Don't you want it?" He walked behind me and said slowly.

I thought he was joking, but at this time I understood that he wanted to give me 1 million and ask me to help him kill someone.

"More than this one million, you can earn another 1.5 million after finishing the project, which is 2.5 million in total. Do you want it?" He walked up to me, gave me a cigarette again, took out the fire, and lit it for me.

After this project, I can earn about 4 million. If I give him 1.5 million, I still have 2.5 million left. In addition, the 1 million he gave me, I can actually earn 3.5 million. I was a little hesitant, 3.5 million was my profit for several years.

"You are my son, can I cheat you?"

"Who are you going to kill?" I asked in a contradictory manner.

"Tell you the truth. The five widowed elderly people in our village have a total of 2 million yuan in demolition fees. I told the village that they should be sent to the nursing home and handed them over to the nursing home at one time. This afternoon, Encheng will drive them away and take their bodies back to the evening. I plan to bury them in your current construction site, and after building the house, they will never be able to find them."

The factory I currently built has already completed the foundation of the factory and is being backfilled. If they are buried there and then covered up the stairs, no one will notice it. But my heart was beating hard at this moment. I looked at the familiar and strange father in front of me, and a sense of fear spread throughout my body. I said in a trembling voice:

"Five people? Dad, do you want to kill five people?"

"What is the difference between five people and one person? Coward!"

"No, I dare not. I don't want money and don't kill anyone." My body was trembling so hard that I could no longer stand, so I sat on the ridge of the field.

"Wen Liang, don't be afraid. You don't need to kill people. You drive the excavator to dig the pit in advance, and then bury it in a while and it's done." He also squatted down and handed me another cigarette. I didn't reach out to pick up his cigarette, and my body was still shaking.

"You believe in Dad, I've arranged everything, nothing will happen." He patted my shoulder with one hand and comforted me.

"Even if something happens, it's up to my father. Just take care of Wenkai for me." He handed me the cigarette he had taken two sips of. I took it and took a few sips, so that my emotions slowly stabilized.

"I'm doing these for you. I'm old and can spend a few dollars, not for our family. I want to leave more for you." He sat beside me and put his arm on my shoulder.

"Then, what if people ask which elderly people?" I finished smoking and my mood became much more stable.

"Don't worry, I told everyone in the village to send them to nursing homes. They have no children, so no one will care about them after the demolition."

Under my father's persuasion, I gradually stopped being afraid. I thought, anyway, I was not the one I killed, so I just dig a hole in the excavator. If something happens, they will be holding on, and there will be no problem for me. So I asked:

“Where’s buried?”

"I just looked at it. Just go backfilling the place you have today and dig the pit a little deeper."

"When is the time to come?"

"It's about 9 o'clock, and you dig a hole after the workers left and it was dark."

I didn't say anything anymore, took out a cigarette and lit it, and sat there silently. He stood up, patted my shoulder, and headed towards the village.

It was dark very early that day, and it started to rain after it was dark. I didn't eat dinner, so I felt so upset that I couldn't eat. I started the excavator and started digging the pit. Since the soil on it was just backfilled today, it was easy to dig at the beginning, but it started to be a little harder to dig below. Although it was still early, I was still a little anxious. I wanted to dig deeper and deeper. In my heart, I might feel that the deeper I dug, the more peace of mind I could make myself feel.

After I dug the pit, I sat in the excavator, turning on the light to shine the pit in front of me.

I remembered the scene when my father taught me to swim when I was a child. He supported me to swim deep in the water and then let me go. He hid aside and watched me struggle in the water. Just when I thought I was about to die, he reached out to pull me out of the water. I grabbed his arm tightly and didn't dare to let go, afraid that he would throw me into the water again. He waited for me to breathe well and threw me away again. In this way, I learned to swim. But I never wanted to be close to him again.

I remembered the five old men in the village. I recognized them and knew their names. When they saw me, they called me Xiaoliang intimately. Thinking of this, I operated the excavator to start filling the pit. I quickly filled the pit I had just dug out, and then drove the excavator up and pressed it firmly. Then I burst into tears in the excavator. I cried for a long time, and then started digging again with tears.

At around 8 o'clock, he came. He stood by the pit and looked at the pit I dug without saying a word. He was wearing a military raincoat, and I recognized that raincoat he brought back from the army. He stood by the pit like that, motionless, like a pillar. I sat in the cab and looked at his figure, feeling like a ghost.

At around 9 o'clock, a van drove in from outside and saw him standing there and parked the car directly beside him. I didn't dare to look at everything he did. I lowered my head and stared at his movements with the light of my eyes. After he finished his work, he waved to me, and when he waved in the rain, I thought he was a devil.

After that, I got seriously ill and lay in bed for a week before getting up. Since then, I have tried not to go home, and I don’t want to see his cold face.

After the project was over, I gave him 2.5 million as agreed in advance. I calculated it, and with the 1 million he gave me, I earned a total of 3.82 million. But I regret it very much. I would rather not earn that 3.82 million than experience what happened that night. If I didn't do this, I would have to make money slowly, but I was calm inside. I worked hard and I would earn 3.82 million sooner or later. But I don't have to endure the torture of my conscience every night.

I didn't like drinking, and I thought drinking was too delayed. But since I experienced that night, I couldn't sleep without drinking at night. I had to get myself drunk to fall asleep peacefully, but even if I was drunk, I could only sleep for a while. After I woke up in the middle of the night, I could never fall asleep again. The scene of that night on the rainy night kept flashing in my mind, and the bodies of five old men fell into the pit and made a thump, lingering in my ears all the time.

I later started taking sleeping pills, and until now I have to sleep on sleeping pills every night. During the more than half month of my escape, I couldn't fall asleep even after taking sleeping pills. Any movement outside could wake me up. Every day, I was worried about life, dared not go out, dared not go out, go out, and buy things. I was frightened when I heard the sound of the police car, and I hurriedly hid away when I saw people in police uniforms. Even if I saw the police on my phone on TV, I would make me sweat in a cold sweat.

I long to escape and to be caught.

After you went to find my father that day, he didn't expect that someone would investigate that matter in 15 years. He was very scared, and it was completely different from when he was young. I think it might be because of his age.

He called me three times. The first call he was panicked and asked me what to do. How could I know what to do? I said to him:

"You planned everything at the beginning, so you can do whatever you think you should do."

On the second call, he told me that he had arranged for Guo Encheng to remove the Han army who knew the situation at the time. After removing the Han army, as long as the police do not find the body, they will not be convicted. We must keep the secret and must not disclose the place where the burial was buried.

On the third call, he told me to prepare and run away immediately if the body is found.

Since then, I have been paying attention to the news about Guo Encheng and the factory. I knew the news on the night when Guo Encheng was arrested. I drove to another place for a night that night, and the next day I saw nothing happening, so I went back to Gui'an. I knew that Guo Encheng would not tell the body. He was the murderer and should be more afraid than me.

Many of my workers lived in the tube building of the factory. On the first day you went to the yard to investigate, they told me they were looking for gold, and I knew something was wrong. That night I took a car away from Gui'an.

When Xu Zhiguo talked about this, his originally tense forehead stretched out. His whole body seemed to have been removed from his muscles and bones and collapsed on a chair in the interrogation room.
